Sacramento, California
Attendance: 17,297
July 28, 2008
A CARNIVAL IS SHOWN FULL OF SEVERAL RIDES AND EVEN MORE PEOPLE. A FERRIS WHEEL, CAROUSEL AND PLENTY OF GAMES ARE SHOWN ALONG WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING FUNNEL CAKES AND POPCORN. THE SCENE IS VERY NOISY AS THE CAMERA CENTERS IN ON 4 ADOLESCENT MALES. THE TEENS ARE TALKING AND LAUGHING, ALL OF THEM WEARING WRESTLING T-SHIRTS. ONE BOY HAS ON THE TWF ENTERTAINMENT T-SHIRT AND ANOTHER IS WEARING A JORDAN ROCKWELL "FRANCHISE" SHIRT. THE OTHER TWO KIDS, WHO LOOK VERY SIMILAR, ARE WEARING SHIRTS WITH THE FACES OF BOTH MATT AND JEFF HARDY. THEY ENTER A TENT WITH A SIGN OUTSIDE THAT SAYS "LET YOUR FUTURE BE TOLD".
INSIDE THE TENT, A MAN DRESSED AS A WIZARD SITS BEHIND A TABLE WITH A CRYSTAL BALL IN FRONT OF HIM.
Wizard: "Ah, what brings you by this fine evening, children"?
Boy in Rockwell t-shirt: "Uh, well we're going to Evil Intentions down the road here at the Arco Arena and we wanted to know if you could tell us what might happen".
Boy in TWF shirt: "Yeah, who's gettin' drafted"?!
Wizard: "Excuse me, boys, I don't know of anything of this nature. Oh, wait, I'm getting something".
THE WIZARD PEERS INTO HIS CRYSTAL BALL, HOLDING IT WITH BOTH HANDS AS HE LOOKS ON VERY INTENTLY. THE BOYS SEEM AMAZED AS THEY STAND AROUND HIM.
Wizard: "The only thing I can tell you, is several men will meet a change, but one man....... one man is in very serious danger".
All the boys together: "Danger"?
Wizard: "Yes.... you boys be careful, you might want to reconsider your attendance at this event".
One of the boys wearing Hardy's t-shirt: "No way! We gotta get there now! Let's go guys"!
THE BOYS LEAVE THE TENT IN A HURRY AS THE WIZARD IS SHOWN, LOOKING INTO HIS CRYSTAL BALL. THE TWF LOGO APPEARS INSIDE THE BALL AND A VERY MANIACAL LAUGH DROWNS OUT ALL THE NOISE FROM THE CARNIVAL.
Audio Voiceover: "And now...... TWF Entertainment presents...................
PYRO EXPLODES ON THE EVIL INTENTIONS SET AND THE HUGE CROWD OF OVER SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FANS WAS GOING NUTS AS THE CAMERA PANNED THE ARENA. ONE SIGN WITH THE WORDS "FUTURE #1 DRAFT PICK" AND AN ARROW POINTING DOWN TO THE KID HOLDING IT WAS SHOWN AND ANOTHER SIGN WITH A VERY ARTISTIC DRAWING OF AJ STYLES HOLDING THE BADLANDZ WORLD TITLE WAS SPOTTED.
THE SHOT THEN WENT TO THE ANNOUNCE TABLE, WHICH CONTAINED AN ANNOUNCER FROM EACH OF THE 4 TWF DIVISIONS.
Jim Ross: "We are live from Arco Arena in Sacramento, California for what is sure to be an incredibly historical night"!
Joey Styles: "I can't believe we're gonna call a show without color commentators, but let's see what we can do. Oh, and not that I'm playing favorites, but go SlaughterHouse"!
Michael Cole: "Well I'm relieved to be calling this thing without my usual partner, let's get to it"!
LOUD SIRENS BEGIN TO BLARE AND "HOLLER IF YA HEAR ME" IS HEARD BEFORE SCOTT STEINER STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS.
Mike Tenay: "Well fans, very simply put, each and every match on tonight's card has implications on the current TWF rosters! Every time a superstar wins a match, he earns one draft pick for his division and here comes the first guy representing Badlandz..... it's Big Poppa Pump"!
Cole: "Uh, isn't he missing something"?
Tenay: "Steiner and The Outlaw were defeated for the Tag Team titles on the most recent edition of Badlandz, but he won't have to worry about a partner tonight, it's one on one"!
THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "ONE OF A KIND" BY BREAKING POINT PLAYS AND ROB VAN DAM COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST POPS OF THE NIGHT, BY FAR.
J.R.: "Well, he does have to worry about Rob Van Dam, one of the most successful superstars in TWF history.... Rob Van Dam"!
Cole: "RVD may be a Rampage superstar, but we are all very familiar with his world-renowned abilities! This should be a great match"!
Badlandz vs. Rampage Scott Steiner vs. Rob Van Dam The bell sounded and Steiner quickly flexed and posed for the crowd, admiring himself. RVD moved in and acted like he was going to lock up for him, but too smart for that, he kicked Steiner hard across the ribs when he went for it. After following up with several stiff kicks, RVD ran the ropes but Steiner met him with a big clothesline before dropping an elbow right on his chest. Steiner then went into a series of push-ups, but when he turned around, RVD was up and he nailed him with a jumping heel kick that put the powerhouse down. After landing a corkscrew legdrop, RVD ran the ropes and hit the Rolling Thunder before covering Steiner for the 1...........2........., but Steiner got a shoulder off the mat. RVD quickly went to the top rope and flew off with a martial arts kick, but Steiner moved out of the way and then delivered a big belly to belly suplex. From there, Steiner got down and placed a knee in the middle of Van Dam's back, grabbed him by the chin and pulled back. RVD fought off the pain and was able to reach and grab one of the bottom ring ropes. Steiner stomped on the back of Van Dam before pulling him up by the hair, which drew a warning from referee Jack Doan. Steiner hoisted Van Dam up and set him on the top turnbuckle, climbing up with him. Amazingly, Steiner went for the Frankensteiner, something we don't see out of him anymore, but RVD held onto the ring ropes and Steiner landed hard on the mat. RVD saw an opening, and he took it, flying off with the "5 Star Frogslash" which he landed with serious impact. RVD hurt himself a little bit, but he was able to roll over and cover Steiner for the victory. Match Time: 5:45 J.R.: "Oh what a Five Star! RVD just knocked all the wind outta Scotty Steiner, and he has a lot of it"! Tenay: "Well with that, Rampage has earned the first draft pick, so let's see who it is"! Cole: "It could be anyone"! THE TWF TRON FLASHES THROUGH IMAGES OF COUNTLESS TWF SUPERSTARS AS THE FANS WATCH IN SUSPENSE. FINALLY, IT LANDS ON STACY KIEBLER. "LEGS" BY KID ROCK COMES ON AND STACY KIEBLER STEPS OUT TO A HUGE CHEER. RVD IS SHOWN IN THE RING WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Styles: "Oh here's a surprise, it's from our show! I'll tell ya what, if SlaughterHouse takes it up the rear in this draft like it has every........ J.R.: "Oh come on, Joey, it's only the first pick! But my partner's gonna love this one"! Tenay: "Stacy Kiebler is goin' back to Rampage.... what a way to start"! BACKSTAGE AREA......... JASON OLIVER AND M.X. OGDEN ARE SHOWN WATCHING FROM A MONITOR IN THE BACK. M.X. Ogden: "Wooo, I can live with that draft pick". Jason Oliver: "Yeah, no doubt. You ready for your match"? Ogden: "Yeah, are you"? Oliver: "Always, but I am worried that if we win our matches, we could wind up having two more fossils who need to hang 'em up landing on Rampage..... and we don't need that". Ogden: "So? So then we just take them out. Besides, we could end up getting two more just like her and then....... Oliver: "Yeah, I'd like to see Candice hear you talk like that". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING AND "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA HITS AND MARK HENRY SLOWLY STROLLS TO THE RING. J.R.: "Back to the action with another match here at Evil Intentions and I gotta say this guys, I like our chances to get another draft pick here". Styles: "Yeah, well could ya keep that to yourself"? Tenay: "Look, I don't think there's any need to be hostile here, we're all professionals, and we all have an equal shot tonight". THE UNITED NATION's MUSIC COMES ON AND PAUL BURCHILL STEPS OUT WITH THE LOVELY KATIE LEA. Cole: "The United Nations is making a ton of noise on PrimeTime and here comes Paul Burchill along with his sister Katie". J.R.: "I watch every episode of PrimeTime even though I'm a Rampage guy and one thing I'm pretty sure of right now is Jordan Rockwell and Shawn Michaels have gotta be pulling for Mark Henry in this match"! Styles: "Even if it costs PrimeTime the shot at a draft pick"? Rampage vs. PrimeTime Mark Henry vs. Paul Burchill w/ Katie Lea Burchill went right in and hit Henry with a flurry of right hands, but they hardly phased the World's Strongest Man. Burchill went for an irish whip, but Henry reversed it and pulled him right into a huge clothesline. He then pulled Burchill up and whipped him to the corner, slamming into him with a splash. Henry was looking to put Burchill away early, but he missed with an elbow and Burchill got on Henry's back while he was on all fours, ripping at his eyes with the black glove on his hand. Burchill did enough to slow Henry down, and after hitting the ropes, he put a big boot to Henry's jaw. He then ran the ropes again, but this time, Henry got up and grabbed Burchill in a monstrous bear hug. Henry was squeezing with all his power and Burchill quickly began to fade. Seeing her brother going out, Katie Lea got on the apron, and somehow convinced Henry to let go of the hold. Henry made his was over and grabbed Katie by the hair, licking his lips. Just then, Burchill comes from behind with a knee to the back before running the ropes. But Henry was able to catch Burchill in mid air and drive him into the mat with the "World's Strongest Slam". But he didn't stop there. For good measure, Henry came off the middle turnbuckle with a big splash, encompassing Burchill to get the 1........2.......3, much to Katie's dismay. Match Time: 3:52 Tenay: "Mark Henry just squashed Paul Burchill and it's going good for Rampage so far"! J.R.: "Two for two"! Cole: "Let's see who it's gonna be this time"! Styles: "Just take your pick, you know it's comin' from us". BLOODHUNT APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON, NOW A PART OF RAMPAGE. Styles: "See! C'mon, this is ridiculous"! Cole: "Calm down, Joey, SlaughterHouse is gonna get their chance". J.R.: "Bloodhunt is a dark character that I don't know much about, but we'll welcome him to Rampage and I'm anxious to see what he can do". BLOODHUNT NEVER COMES OUT Tenay: "Well apparently he's not coming out, but Bloodhunt is now a part of Rampage". BACKSTAGE..... SEBASTIAN CAIN's DRESSING ROOM...... SEBASTIAN CAIN IS TAPING HIS HANDS IN PREPARATION FOR HIS MATCH. SEAN O'HAIRE IS IN THE ROOM WITH HIM. Sean O'Haire: "Really man, you need to stop worrying about your sister". Sebastian Cain: "Look, I never asked for your advice. She...... O'Haire: "She's living life.... she's having fun! And you, you've got Kurt Angle tonight. I think we all know what he's capable of". Cain: "Yeah, I'm gonna give Angle the fight of his life...... but when I get done with that....... O'Haire: "Don't even say it! There's a nice..... what's a word you'll like..... gentleman's club not far from here". CAIN JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AND LEAVES THE DRESSING ROOM. BACK TO THE RING, "I AM" COMES ON AND AJ STYLES COMES OUT TO A HUGE RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD. HE HAS THE BADLANDZ TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST, WHICH HE JUST CAPTURED. Tenay: "Okay, it's time to get serious. Here comes the brand new Badlandz heavyweight champion! After defeating both Raven and Kane in a triple threat match, AJ Styles is now the man on Badlandz"! Cole: "AJ Styles was one of the most exciting, well rounded superstars on all of PrimeTime when we had him, and I can't wait for this match"! J.R.: "Why don't we throw out the fact that Rampage is the only division Styles hasn't competed on in the TWF. Who knows, maybe by the end of this night, that'll change". Styles: "I wouldn't doubt it". "STRAIGHT TO VIDEO" BY MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE HITS AND M.X. OGDEN APPEARS FROM THE BACK WITH CANDICE TO PLENTY OF HEAT. J.R.: "Well if you've tuned into Rampage lately, you'd know that this man and his new ally Jason Oliver have basically annointed themselves the future of this business and they want some of the older, veteran wrestlers to get out of their way". Cole: "And I know if the Honky Tonk Man was sitting here right now, he'd be backing what Ogden and Oliver are preaching, but if I'm Ogden, my focus is directed right at AJ Styles right now"! Tenay: "You bring up a good point, Michael. Two of the best young athletes in this business are ready to lock horns and I gotta do it, I gotta do it fellas! AJ is my guy..... c'mon AJ"! Non-Title Match/Badlandz vs. Rampage Badlandz Champion: AJ Styles vs. M.X. Ogden w/ Candice The bell sounded to start what turned out to be an excellent contest. Styles and Ogden locked up and neither man could gain any ground. After being slapped across the face by Ogden, Styles hit the Pele kick out of nowhere before catching him with a basement dropkick. Styles made the cover, bu Ogden beat a 2 count before kicking out. Styles went to the right arm of Ogden, trying to hyperextend it before slapping on a hammerlock. Ogden was able to stand up and grab AJ, trying to take him over with a snap mare. But after kicking the back of both of Ogden's legs, Styles kicked him right in the back of the head before delivering a senton bomb after hitting the ropes. Styles made another cover, this time hooking a leg, but Ogden was up by 2. Styles pulled him up and whipped him to the corner, but after running in with a head of steam, Ogden put a foot in his face and then put him down with a running STO. Ogden made his first pin attempt, but Ogden was easily up. Ogden then went to the middle turnbuckle and came off with an elbow to the back of the head when Styles stood up before picking him up for a big bodyslam. Ogden pulled Styles up and pulled him right across his knee with a backbreaker. He tried to follow up with a complete shot, but Styles blocked it and pushed Ogden away, drilling him with a picture-perfect dropkick. Styles then went for an irish whip but Ogden reversed it. He threw a clothesline but Styles ducked before scaling the ring ropes and backflipping off, grabbing Ogden by the head and taking him to the mat with a reverse DDT, an incredible move! Styles went for the cover, but Ogden was again up at 2. After shooting him to the corner, Styles flew in with a crushing forearm before trying to load him up for the "Styles Clash". But Ogden had it scouted and he countered into a nice russian leg sweep. Ogden then went to the top rope and came off with a flying legdrop, crushing the back of Styles' head just as he was getting up. Sure he had it won, Ogden rolled him over for the 1..........2......., but Styles was up! Both men got to their feet and began trading punches. They didn't have as much on them, because both men were spent. Finally, Styles ran the ropes and went for a crossbody, but Ogden was thinking the same thing and they collided in mid air! The crowd was on their feet, mostly cheering for Styles. Ogden got up and motioned to Candice, who got on the apron. She appeared to be taking some sort of foreign object out of her top when Styles got to his feet. Styles threw another Pele kick, but Candice told Ogden to move and when he did, Styles struck Candice, knocking her to the floor! Styles was clearly concerned over what he did, and Ogden took advantage, pulling him to the mat with a rear naked choke and cinching it in tight. Styles tried his best to fight it, but eventually had to tap out. Match Time: 8:38 Tenay: "Damn! AJ had no choice"! Cole: "An unfortunate set of circumstances there after an incredible match but J.R., you guys are sitting pretty over on Rampage"! Styles: "Go ahead, pluck another SlaughterHouse superstar... go ahead"! J.R.: "Well it looks like that big lottery of superstars is rolling, so let's see who it's gonna be". AFTER CYCLING THROUGH SEVERAL SUPERSTARS, THE IMAGE OF D'LO BROWN POPS UP ON THE TWF TRON. "THE REAL DEAL" PLAYS AND D'LO STEPS OUT TO A BIG POP, HEADING TO THE RING. J.R.: "Well I'll tell ya what, I'll take this! It's been years since we've seen D'Lo Brown on one of the big shows, but what an addition for us"! Tenay: "Yeah, I really hate to lose this guy". D'LO GETS DOWN TO THE RING, AND HELPS CANDICE TO HER FEET. SHE IS STILL IN PAIN FROM THE PELE KICK AND OGDEN LEAVES THE RING, GRABBING HER HAND BEFORE GIVING D'LO A LONG STARE. CANDICE DOES NOT SEEM HAPPY. Cole: "Well folks, we've had three matches and three Rampage wins have gotten them a small collection of draft picks here"! Styles: "Go ahead and talk about all three of the picks, because this next match is ours! We've got Kurt Angle in the next match"! D'LO's MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY AS HE PLAYS TO THE CROWD ON ONE OF THE TURNBUCKLES. D'LO's MUSIC IS CUT OUT AND KURT ANGLE's MUSIC COMES ON. ANGLE GETS A SOMEWHAT MIXED REACTION AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH HIS OLYMPIC GOLD MEDAL AROUND HIS NECK. J.R.: "Kurt Angle has been recognized for many years as one of the best pure wrestlers of all time, but he'll face a guy tonight who he knows little, if anything, about". Styles: "Oh quit touting your Rampage guys, Ross. Do you really think that matters to Kurt Angle, a man who has been calling out UFC legend Randy Couture for the last several months"? D'LO WALKS PAST ANGLE AND THE TWO ENGAGE IN A BIT OF A STAREDOWN BEFORE ANGLE GETS INTO THE RING AND POSES FOR THE CROWD. J.R.: "Yeah, I don't know why I'd talk up our guys, we've only won every single match so far tonight". Tenay: "Let's not get too cocky over there". "REQUEIM" BY TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA COMES ON AND SEBASTIAN CAIN COMES OUT FROM THE BACK. HE LOOKS A LITTLE OVERWHELMED AS HE HEADS TO THE RING. Cole: "Well, J.R., we've seen recently where Sebastian Cain has been battling some personal issues and now he has to get in there with the Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle. I can't say I like his chances". J.R.: "I really think that if Sebastian could get away from the influence of Sean O'Haire, he has one heck of a bright future". Tenay: "Well that bright future is going to be put to the test tonight". SlaughterHouse vs. Rampage Kurt Angle vs. Sebastian Cain Many fans weren't expecting much in this one, but surprisingly, this may've been the match of the night. Angle got low as the bell sounded and took Cain to the mat with a double leg before getting the mount and just pounding away with haymakers. Cain was having trouble defending himself and rolled over, only to have Angle lock in a guillotine choke. Cain was fading fast, but Angle didn't have his legs hooked and he was able to swing one of them to the ropes to get a break. Angle waited for Cain to get up and when he did, he went for another takedown but Cain blocked it with a knee to the head. He then grabbed Angle around the waist and delivered a textbook german suplex, bridging up into the cover to get the 1...........2......., but Angle was up, stunned that he was almost beaten. Both men got to their feet and Cain beat Angle to the punch, knocking him into the corner with 3 right hands. Cain tried to whip him to the corner, but Angle reversed it and ran in, but Cain caught him with a kick to the face. He then went for a belly to belly, but Angle countered and delivered a release belly to belly of his own. He quickly made the cover, but Cain was up at 2. Angle stood over Sebastian and belted him with several forearms to the either side of the head. After 4 or 5 of those, Angle put his arms out and shouted "Look at this punk"! That led to Cain getting Angle on his shoulders and showing an incredible feat of strength, he stood up and took Angle from the position of an electric chair right into the "Burning Hammer"! Cain hooked the inside leg and got 1..........2..........., but Angle got his right shoulder off the mat! Cain couldn't believe it as he looked at SlaughterHouse referee Robert Briskoe. Sebastian knew he'd have to do more to put Angle away, so he went for the Burning Hammer again, but Angle slipped free and hit the Olympic Slam. Angle made the cover, but the right foot of Cain was just under the bottom ring rope to prevent a 3 count. The fans were loving every second of a match that was fast becoming a classic. Angle pulled Sebastian up and sent him to the corner but when he charged in, Cain met him with a back elbow before catching him with a terrific swinging neckbreaker. Again, a cover attempt got Cain a long 2 count. Both men were to their feet and Angle ducked a clothesline, going into a standing waistlock. But Cain blocked a german suplex and came up with a nice victory roll, only to see Angle reverse it and put him in a pinning predicament, grabbing a handful of tights for the 3 count! Match Time: 7:42 J.R.: "Wait a minute! He had a hand his tights"! Styles: "Oh well, we're gonna take it"! Tenay: "SlaughterHouse has just earned a draft pick, the first one of the night that hasn't gone to Rampage". Cole: "Let's see who it's gonna be"! THE IMAGES OF ALL THE TWF SUPERSTARS START TO FLASH ACROSS THE TWF TRON AGAIN, FINALLY STOPPING ON ALEX SHELLEY. Styles: "Hey, that's a good pick! He's a former Rampage Tag Team champion"! J.R.: "Well we haven't seen Alex Shelley since he was beaten by his former tag team partner M.X. Ogden and his new acquaintance, Jason Oliver, at TWF Foul Play"! ANGLE's MUSIC PLAYS AND HE LEAVES THE RING, CELEBRATING LIKE HE'D JUST WON THE WORLD TITLE BEFORE THE SHOT GOES BACKSTAGE. BACKSTAGE AREA....... IN THE BACK, CAMERAS SHOW MONEY MIKE HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH MICKIE JAMES. HE SEEMS TO BE SWEET TALKING HER, WHEN SHE POINTS OUT THAT SOMEONE IS STANDING BEHIND HIM. IT's NAILS. MIKE TURNS AROUND AND HE IS FACE TO FACE WITH THE MAN IN THE HOCKEY MASK. Nails: "Looking for some backup for tonight"? Money Mike: "I'm lookin' for something, but it's none of your business. Besides, I don't need any........ Nails: "Ya know what, Mike, I can't wait for our match tonight. Draft picks aside, one of the things I've wanted to do for years here in the TWF, is to kick your sorry ass. I don't like you and I don't like your attitude and if one thing is for sure...... you're sure as hell not hardcore". NAILS WALKS AWAY AND MONEY MIKE TURNS BACK TO MICKIE, BUT SHE's GONE. BACK TO THE RING, RHYNO's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD CHEER FROM THE CROWD. Tenay: "Well, are ya ready for some hard hitting action? This is one of the matches that I circled on the card". Styles: "Well, it's Badlandz versus SlaughterHouse, so at least we know one of the smaller guys is gonna get richer here". Cole: "Anything so you stop whining". Styles: "Ya know what, I take offense to that, Michael Cole! You sit out here and act like you're the greatest thing to ever come to this booth, but still.... still.... I am the only man in the history of this business to call a fully syndicated national television show on my own! If you tried to do that....... J.R.: "Okay, that's enough of that. If it's gonna be that way, we might as well get the King and Honky Tonk Man out here"! BOOS FILL THE ARENA WHEN A-TRAIN's MUSIC HITS. SMOKE SHOOTS UP FROM EITHER SIDE OF THE ENTRANCE RAMP AS THE BIG MAN MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. Tenay: "Take a look at this locomotive heading down the tracks! I know you guys have a beast in Rhyno, Styles, but A-Train is around the three hundred and fifty pound mark and he's got a lot of athleticism to go with it"! J.R.: "You can't take anything away from A-Train, we all saw what he did over on Raw and Rampage for years and ya know what, this thing has got slobberknocker written all over it"! Styles: "I knew that wasn't far off". SlaughterHouse vs. Badlandz Rhyno vs. A-Train The bell sounded and like two heavyweight boxers, A-Train and Rhyno stood in the middle of the ring, slugging it out. A-Train was able to overcome Rhyno, using a big height advantage. After pounding him across the back and shoulders several times, A-Train went for an irish whip but Rhyno reversed it and hit the "Gore" out of nowhere. Rhyno went for the cover, but A-Train was able to get a foot on the bottom rope to prevent a quick loss. Rhyno got him up and rocked him with 2 right hands before pushing him to the corner. There, Rhyno drove his shoulder into the abdomen of the big man several times. He then pulled him out, looking for a suplex, but A-Train easily fought it off and picked Rhyno up for a sidewalk slam. A-Train then ran the ropes and delivered a big splash, crushing the manbeast. He went for the cover, but Rhyno was able to get a shoulder up at 2. A-Train pulled him to his feet but Rhyno was able to reverse another irish whip and catch him with a big spinebuster. He then went into the corner and the crowd came to their feet, knowing another Gore was in the works. A-Train got to his feet and Rhyno went for it, but A-Train moved out of the way, shoving him head first into the corner. Rhyno hit head first on the middle turnbuckle and stumbled around before A-Train smashed him with a nice bicycle kick. He then went to the turnbuckle and pulled himself up to the middle turnbuckle. But he took too much time up there and Rhyno got up, punching him twice in the gut. He then put A-Train's legs on his shoulders and somehow pulled him off the turnbuckle, dumping him on the mat with a powerbomb. Rhyno fell into the cover and got the 1........2.........3. Match Time: 5:58 Styles: "He got him! We just gained another superstar"! J.R.: "Someone from one of the other three divisions is available.... let's see who it is"! THE SUPERSTAR LOTTERY SCREEN STARTS TO CYCLE ITSELF ON THE TWF TRON, CROSSING OVER THE IMAGES OF NEARLY EVERYONE ON THE ROSTER. IT FINALLY COMES TO REST ON CHUCK PALUMBO. Tenay: "Ah, we just lost another guy". Cole: "So it's Chuck Palumbo moving to SlaughterHouse after the win here by Rhyno and now, now maybe we can stop listening to Joey Styles sit out here and complain about the fortunes of SlaughterHouse"! Styles: "I sure can, because now we have two draft picks and PrimeTime has about as many draft picks as you have had serious female relationships, Michael"! Tenay: "Well I can think of three guys that aren't gonna be happy with this result and that is what is left of the F.B.I. on Badlandz". CAMERAS GET A SHOT OF ARCO ARENA FROM THE OUTSIDE. J.R.: "We are live in Sacramento, California at ARCO arena, home of the NBA's Sacramento Kings and look who we've got with us tonight"! RON ARTEST IS SHOWN SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW AND HE POINTS UP TO THE RAFTERS, WHERE THE HELL IN A CELL IS HANGING. Cole: "That is current Sacramento King Ron Artest who has been rumored to be traded sometime soon, but who will forget his altercation with some fans in Detroit a couple years ago"? J.R.: "Well even that situation will not be anywhere near as chaotic as what we will witness when Travis Wakeman takes on the chairman of the TWF, Vince McMahon later tonight inside that Hell in a Cell". A COUNTDOWN STARTS FROM 5 ON THE VIDEO TRON AND THE FANS COME TO THEIR FEET, CHEERING WHEN PYRO POPS OFF AND "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN" PLAYS. CHRIS JERICHO STEPS OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST REACTIONS OF THE NIGHT. Tenay: "Right back to the action and here comes Chris Jericho. Sorry guys, but we need to pick up a win". Styles: "This will be the second of three Badlandz versus SlaughterHouse matches, but this one here is a main event anywhere in the world"! "BOOYAKA 619" BY P.O.D. PLAYS AND THE FANS GO NUTS WHEN REY MYSTERIO POPS UP FROM UNDERNEATH THE SET AND HEADS TO THE RING. Cole: "Rey Mysterio and Chris Jericho are two of the most celebrated wrestlers of all-time and I can't see this being anything short of a five star match"! Styles: "And I'd like to point out that both men were recognized and got their major break back in the old ECW! And that's another thing, this group that's ripping off the old ECW, led by Joe Corey, is a a damn joke! I can't believe Paul Heyman would sell his soul to back those guys, but it's a disgrace and I know guys like Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and hell, even Todd Gordon are seething because of what they are doing"! J.R.: "Well, Joe Corey is set to battle Kane later on tonight but right now, we're set for Y2J and the master of the 6-1-9"! Badlandz vs. SlaughterHouse Chris Jericho vs. Rey Mysterio AFter a handshake to start the match, Jericho and Mysterio went to work. After some quick action on the mat, both men got to their feet and Mysterio ducked a swinging backhand before kicking Jericho in each leg. He then ran the ropes and went for his wheelbarrow bulldog but Jericho countered by throwing him over his body, right on the back of his head. After a quick snap suplex, Jericho pulled Mysterio up and whipped him to the corner. He slowly walked in before slapping the chest of Mysterio with 3 hard knifedge chops. Jericho then shot Mysterio to the opposite side and ran in, but Rey got out of the way and went outside the ring on the apron, springing back into the ring with a seated senton bomb to get the 1........2......, but Jericho was up. Rey got up and hit the ropes before drilling Jericho with a basement dropkick. Rey then went to the outside of the ring and climbed to the top rope, flying off with a crossbody. But Jericho came up with a perfect dropkick to take him right out of mid air. He then went for the Lionsault but Rey rolled out of the way. Jericho was able to land on his feet and after Rey hit the ropes, he went for a hurricanrana and Jericho countered with a powerbomb. Jericho then grabbed the legs of Mysterio, clearly looking for the "Walls of Jericho". But Mysterio fought it diligently, twisting and turning his body. Jericho did his best to turn it, but Rey turned with all he had, throwing Jericho into the ropes. He then ran the ropes on the other side and caught Jericho with a 6-1-9 to the midsection. He then went to the apron and scaled the top ring rope, flying off with the "West Coast Pop" to get the 3 count and a huge win! Match Time: 5:50 J.R.: "Jericho wasn't looking for the West Coast Pop, but it has done him in here"! Styles: "Well, not to steal a line from you, J.R., cause lord knows I don't want to do that, but Mysterio is quicker than a hiccup and that West Coast Pop came out of nowhere"! Cole: "And to think about how you were acting not too long ago, Joey, now you've got three in a row"! Tenay: "All the draft picks have gone to Rampage and SlaughterHouse, I'm starting to feel a little left out, what about you, Cole"? Cole: "We've got a lot of matches to play themselves out yet". THE TWF TRON STARTS TO GO THROUGH THE SUPERSTARS ONE MORE TIME, AND SLAUGHTERHOUSE LANDS THE BIGGEST NAME THUS FAR. J.R.: "It's Bobby Lashley! Now that's a damn good pick"! Cole: "Bobby Lashley has been out injured but we heard he was ready to come back anytime and now, it's gonna be to SlaughterHouse, not PrimeTime"! JUST AS MYSTERIO GETS TO THE TOP OF THE RAMP, LASHLEY's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT IN STREET CLOTHES TO A HUGE CHEER. AFTER TAKING IN THE FANS' CHEERS, LASHLEY SHAKES HANDS WITH MYSTERIO. Styles: "I'll tell ya what guys, I can't wait to see what this guy can do over on our show"! BACKSTAGE........ IN THE BACK, LENA YADA IS STANDING BY WITH PAUL HEYMAN AND JOE COREY. Lena Yada: "Joe Corey, in just a matter of moments, you will face Kane from Badlandz. Kane recently lost the Badlandz World title. Are you worried he may be ready to let out some aggression tonight"? Paul Heyman: "Sorry to cut you off, Lena, but first I want to address that little parasite sitting out there, Joey Styles. Styles, you have no right to sit there and criticize what I am doing with myself these days, especially since you wouldn't even be sitting there if not for me! So I suggest you sit back and do your job and leave my name out of your mouth"! COREY AND HEYMAN START TO WALK AWAY. Lena Yada: "Corey...... Kane"? COREY STARES AT LENA BEFORE WALKING AWAY WITHOUT AN ANSWER. A HUGE EXPLOSION ROCKS THE ARCO ARENA AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING, AND KANE MAKES HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP WITH HIS USUAL DERANGED LOOK. Tenay: "Just days after losing the Badlandz World championship, here comes the Big Red Machine Kane and he is ready for war"! Styles: "Well this night has sure turned around for SlaughterHouse, I'm completely ready to see two other guys beat the hell out of each other"! Cole: "This match will be between the two divisions that have gotten no draft picks tonight but Mike, you guys have lost a lot of superstars too"! Tenay: "I'm looking for our fortunes to be reversed here"! RIGHT AFTER KANE RAISES HIS ARMS AND THEN DROPPING THEM, BRINGING MORE FLAMES FROM EACH TURNBUCKLE, THE LIGHTS GO OUT. BOOS LITTER THE ARENA WHEN "MISERIA CANTARE" KICKS UP AND PAUL HEYMAN LEADS JOE COREY TO THE RING. J.R.: "I'm curious, Joey, do you have anything to say in response to what we just heard from Paul Heyman"? Styles: "He had the nerve to call me a parasite, can you believe that?! What the hell happened to Paul Heyman, he's really changed since he started riding the coattails of this schmuck Joe Corey"! Cole: "None the less, this will be a very interesting contest". PrimeTime vs. Badlandz "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Paul Heyman vs. Kane After the bell sounded to start the match, Corey was very hesitant to lock up with Kane, stalling on 3 occassions. Finally, Kane forced the issue, but Corey poked him in the eye. But he then ducked his head through the ring ropes and referee Mike Enos forced Kane to give him some space. Enos yelled for Corey to come out and when he did, Kane was waiting with a nasty uppercut followed by a stiff kick to the face. After dropping a big elbow on Corey, Kane pulled him up and delivered a huge sidewalk slam, staying on him for the cover but Corey was up at 2. Kane pulled Corey up again and whipped him to the corner before crushing him with a clothesline. Kane was on a tear, picking Corey up and dropping him on the top rope from a suplex position. After a kick to the head, Corey found himself on the floor, looking up at the lights. Heyman ran over to help Corey when Tommy Dreamer came down the aisle. Dreamer stared right at Heyman, who backed up in a hurry. Corey got to his feet but never saw Dreamer as he got back into the ring. Kane again was all over him with right hands but after being whipped to the ropes, Corey got back into the match with a dropkick to the right knee. Corey then kicked the back of the same leg, knocking Kane down. This is exactly what Corey was looking for as he took the match over by working extensively on the leg. Corey saw Dreamer standing at ringside, and got a little distracted. Soon, Sabu was down at ringside as well. Corey was taken off his game and Kane got back into it, dropping him with a hard clothesline. Kane then pulled Corey up and slung him into the corner, moving in and choking him with his right hand. Kane broke the hold and grabbed Corey by the throat, looking for the chokeslam. But Corey kicked the right knee again to get free before hitting the ropes and connecting with a flying knee to the head. The crowd suddenly began cheering when The Sandman came out of the crowd carrying his trademark Singapore cane. Dreamer got on the apron and had Enos distracted as Sandman got on the apron and took a swing, but he smashed Kane in the head. After knocking Sandman off the apron, Corey grabbed Kane, who had been busted open, and delivered the "Showstopper", rolling him into a cover to get the win. Match Time: 8:03 Cole: "Yes..... PrimeTime is on the board"! J.R.: "But take a look, we're not done yet"! AS COREY AND HEYMAN LEFT WITH THE VICTORY, DREAMER, SABU AND THE SANDMAN HAD GATHERED IN THE RING, DARING HIM TO COME BACK AS "MISERIA CANTARE" PLAYED. Styles: "Well it looks like members of the original ECW.... who remember what it was all about.... have taken exception to this sham that Heyman and Corey are running"! Cole: "Let's find out who we get"! THE SUPERSTAR LOTTERY GRAPHIC SHUFFLES ITSELF AGAIN, COMING TO REST ON SCOTT STEINER. Tenay: "How ironic is it that a Badlandz superstar cost Kane this match and it cost us a member of the Badlandz roster"! Cole: "Big Poppa Pump's a part of PrimeTime"! "CAN YOU DIG IT.... SUCKA" IS HEARD AND AND BOOKER T's MUSIC PLAYS. HE LOOKS VERY CONFIDENT AS HE HEADS TO THE RING. Tenay: "No time to worry about it, we're getting right back into the action here with Booker T"! Styles: "Booker is a guy I wouldn't mind seeing on SlaughterHouse. Maybe after Heidenreich defeats him in this match, he'll be the guy we get". "DANGEROUS POLITICS" COMES ON AND HEIDENREICH MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING TO A MIXED RESPONSE. Cole: "Well I know full well what this man is capable of, having called many of his matches in his early years on PrimeTime! In fact, Heidenreich is still recognized as one of the best Intercontinental champions of all time"! Styles: "And he hasn't been doing too bad on SlaughterHouse.... I like our chances in this one"! J.R.: "Don't get too sure if yourself there, Joey, Booker T is one of the most talented veterans this business has ever seen, and it's gonna take a hellacious effort to defeat him"! Tenay: "We need Booker to come up big here..... c'mon Book"! Badlandz vs. SlaughterHouse Booker T vs. Heidenreich As soon as Heidenreich got into the ring, Booker was all over him with shots to the head and back. He hit Heidenreich countless times, knocking him into the corner. Booker backed up and went for a flying hook kick, but Heidenreich moved out of the way and then struck Booker with a barrage of rights and lefts. He then went to the body for some very stiff shots to the body. Heidenreich then whipped Booker to the ropes but he missed with a clothesline and this time, Booker caught him with the hook kick. As Heidenreich staggered around, Booker grabbed him, looking for the Book End, but Heidenreich elbowed his way out. He then picked up Booker for a swinging sideslam, covering him for the 1........2........., but Booker kicked out. Heidenreich pulled Booker to his feet and was looking to whip him to the ropes again, but Booker reversed it and kicked Heidenreich in the abdomen before running the ropes and dropping the big man with a nasty axe kick. Booker rolled him over and made the cover, 1........2..........3, it was over. Match Time: 4:24 Tenay: "There we go, Badlandz is gonna get a draft pick...... finally"! J.R.: "Part of the rules for this unique event called for each division to get one gauranteed draft pick and those superstars were selected earlier, but let's see who is going to Badlandz"! THE TWF TRON SHOWS THE RUNDOWN OF ALL THE TWF SUPERSTARS ONCE MORE AND IT FINALLY STOPS ON THE IMAGE OF CHRIS SABIN. Styles: "It's Chris Sabin! Man, he's been a part of SlaughterHouse for years"! Cole: "Not anymore! He's headed to Badlandz"! Tenay: "Well we'll gladly take that draft pick and we can thank Booker T for picking up our first win of the night"! BOOKER T's MUSIC PLAYED AND HE CONTINUED TO CELEBRATE THE WIN AS THE SHOT WENT TO THE BACK. CAMERAS IN THE BACK SHOW THE MILLION DOLLAR MAN AND HIS SON HOLDING UP A FISTFUL OF CASH TO SLAUGHTERHOUSE GENERAL MANAGER JESSE STEELE. Ted Dibiase, Jr.: "Come on, this is more money than you'll see in five years of your salary". Jesse Steele: "Okay, I tried to let you guys down nicely. For the last time...... SlaughterHouse will not sell any of it's draft picks"! Million Dollar Man: "Come on son, this loser isn't worth our time anyway. You're an idiot, Steele". BOTH MEN WALK AWAY AS STEELE STANDS HIS GROUND. J.R.: "Volatile situation in the back there but....... Styles: "Good for you, Jesse! Now that's a general manager we can all respect"! J.R.: "Okay, before I was interrupted there, I was going to announce each division's gauranteed draft picks, but I figure we can each do it for our own show so with that, Rampage has landed Axl Irvin from PrimeTime"! Cole: "And you're gonna love him, tough to lose that guy. PrimeTime has gained the services of the big Italian, Aldo Corleone"! Styles: "And for SlaughterHouse, well we get a woman who Rampage took from us, but she was always much better on our show..... Trinity"! Tenay: "I guess we'll save the best for last, and we got one of the biggest and baddest in all of the TWF...... Snitsky is coming to Badlandz from over on Rampage"! J.R.: "Just be ready to here plenty of brush your teeth chants". THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING AND PYRO FALLS DOWN FROM ABOVE THE SET AS "VOICES" BY REV THEORY STARTS UP AND RANDY ORTON SLOWLY APPROACHES THE RING AFTER EMERGING FROM THE BACK TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. J.R.: "Now we're getting into the thick of things. This was one of the biggest matches announced for this event, and I know fans all over the world are looking forward to it"! Styles: "No one is looking more forward to this one than I am! One of the best that SlaughterHouse has to offer against one of the best that PrimeTime has to offer! Let's get it on"! EACH AND EVERY FAN IN ARCO ARENA COMES TO THEIR FEET WHEN "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A MASSIVE POP. Tenay: "The Game against the Master of the RKO! I've got my seatbelt fastened"! Cole: "These are two guys who pride themselves on being the best that there is and there is more than just a draft pick on the line here! This is about bragging rights...... this is about pride"! J.R.: "PrimeTime referee Charles Robinson will call the action in this one and here we go"! PrimeTime vs. SlaughterHouse Randy Orton vs. Triple H This was probably the best match of the night. Triple H and Orton brought the house down with non-stop action, and some great counter wrestling. Orton started the match with a kick to the gut before popping The Game with 3 straight hands. He then shot him to the ropes but Triple H ducked a clothesline and came off the other side with the Harley Race flying knee. Orton got up, but Triple H kicked him in the stomach and delivered a big suplex, dropping him on the back of his head. Triple H then floated over and locked in a side headlock, wrenching it in tight. Triple H's goal was to keep Orton on the mat, but showing plenty of will and determination, Orton worked his way back up, standing up with Triple H and delivering a nice backdrop suplex. Both men got to their feet and Triple H blocked a right hand, hitting Orton with one of his own. He then went for a kick but Orton caught his foot and spun him around, looking for the "RKO". But when he went for it, Triple H pushed him to the corner and then hammered him with a clothesline. Triple H then backed up and ran in again, but Orton caught him with a back elbow. After 3 stiff european uppercuts, Orton whipped The Game to the ropes and connected with a pretty dropkick. He got up and yelled "That's how it's done"! to the crowd, who loudly booed in response. After pulling Triple H across his body with a backbreaker, Orton went to the top rope, looking for a crossbody. He flew off, but Triple H rolled out of the way. Orton crashed on the mat and then found himself on the receiving end of a facebuster to the knee. Triple H then tackled Orton and pounded him with a flurry of right hands to the head. Triple H got up, waiting for Orton to get to his feet. When he did, Triple H went for another kick but again, Orton caught his foot. He spun The Game around and locked him in a standing waistlock, trying to come up with a way to get him off his feet. But Triple H got into a position where Robinson couldn't see him mule kick Orton. That led to the Pedigree and that was all she wrote! Match Time: 8:49 Cole: "What the hell was that?! Triple H using a lowblow to beat Orton"?! Styles: "Whatever it takes Cole! Add another draft pick to SlaughterHouse"! Tenay: "A questionable victory for Triple H, but a victory none the less"! THE TWF TRON FLASHES THROUGH ALL THE SUPERSTARS AGAIN AND THIS TIME, IT COMES TO A STOP ON BULL BUCHANON. Tenay: "Okay, this is getting ridiculous! Our roster is being gutted tonight"! Styles: "Big Bull Buchanon has just become the latest member of SlaughterHouse, and we're starting to pile it on here"! Cole: "You're kidding". "THE GAME" BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS TRIPLE H PLAYED TO THE CROWD IN THE RING BEFORE MAKING HIS WAY UP TO THE RAMP AND TO THE BACK. J.R.: "A terrific night so far here at Evil Intentions, and don't forget we still have the big battle royale and of course, Hell in a Cell"! Tenay: "Well I gotta tell you guys over on SlaughterHouse, you are getting a big, bruising guy with a ton of athleticism in Bull Buchanan". "REMEMBER THE NAME" BY FORT MINOR STRIKES UP AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET AS CHAOS WOLF MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. Cole: "Now we're talkin', here comes the number one contender for the Universal title"! Tenay: "Chaos Wolf is of course the former ECW World champion who has been on quite a roll lately and has his sights set on Edge and the Universal strap". Styles: "Well I know I was one who was looking on with great interest at the extreme elimination chamber and this is probably the last guy I would've picked to win it"! Cole: "And it wouldn't have been the first time you were wrong either". BOOS FILL THE ARENA WHEN "SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING. J.R.: "Jason Oliver will provide the opposition tonight and it's been awhile, but these two do have some history". Tenay: "The other half of GeNext, M.X. Ogden, was already victorious earlier tonight..... can Oliver make it two for two"? Cole: "Well if he plans to, he's got a hell of a fight on his hands"! J.R.: "The draft pick here goes to either Rampage or PrimeTime and I expect a hellacious battle to determine that"! PrimeTime vs. Rampage Chaos Wolf vs. Jason Oliver As the bell sounded to start the match, Oliver immediately began trash talking Wolf. They got face to face in the center of the ring and Oliver paintbrushed Wolf slapping him across the face. Wolf got a crazed look in his eyes and dropped Oliver with a right hand before jumping on him, choking him with both hands. Referee Marty Elias had to pull Wolf off as he had clearly lost it. But Wolf took a running start and kicked Oliver in the ribs before pulling him up for a swinging neckbreaker. Wolf was in firm control of the match after delivering an impaler DDT. He went to the top rope and flew off with a guillotine legdrop, but hit the mat hard when Oliver moved out of the way. Oliver pulled Wolf up and pushed him to the corner, kicking him repeatedly in the midsection. A total of 12 kicks knocked Wolf to a seated position in the corner and with a running start from across the ring, Oliver drove a big knee right into the side of the head. After dragging Wolf to the center of the ring, Oliver covered him for the 1.........2........, but Wolf was up. Oliver then decided to go after the right arm of Wolf, wrapping it behind his back and driving a knee right into the elbow joint. Oliver continued to twist and contort the arm and Wolf was clearly in pain. After pulling Wolf to his feet, Oliver kicked him across his body and whipped him to the ropes. But Wolf came back with a Thesz Press and hammered Oliver with a barrage of right hands. Both men got to their feet and Wolf scored with a jumping enziguri before sending Oliver to the corner. Wolf ran in and connected with a big flying wheel kick before landing on the apron. From there, Wolf brought the crowd to their feet, suplexing Oliver all the way to the floor! But both men were down, and Wolf actually seemed to get the brunt of the impact. Oliver got to his feet first and slowly rolled back into the ring. He was discussing something with Elias when the Universal champion Edge came running down the ramp! Wolf got to his feet, only to be speared right into the ring steps by Edge! Edge pulled Wolf up and he seemed like dead weight as he rolled him onto the apron. From there, Oliver came over and pulled Wolf to the center of the ring as Edge made his getaway. Oliver locked in a rear naked choke on Wolf and Elias got down, asking Wolf if he wanted to continue. He could get no response and he called for the bell, giving the match to Oliver. Match Time: 7:45 J.R.: "By God, I think he knocked Chaos Wolf unconcious with that spear"! Tenay: "Well it was clear that the back of Chaos Wolf's head slammed into those ring steps, and Jason Oliver took advantage"! Styles: "Not only that, but he won the match with the exact same hold M.X. Ogden did earlier". Cole: "Well, it's time to see who the draft pick is". THE TWF TRON BEGINS TO CYCLE THROUGH ALL THE SUPERSTARS BUT SUDDENLY CUTS OUT TO A BLANK SCREEN. Tenay: "What the.......... JUST THEN, THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES IS HEARD AND ROWDY RODDY PIPER's MUSIC COMES ON! PIPER STEPS OUT WEARING A KILT AND HIS TRADEMARK "HOT ROD" SHIRT TO A MASSIVE POP. J.R.: "Oh look at this! It's the Hot Rod, Rowdy Roddy Piper"! Tenay: "Wow, this is interesting. Joey, it looks like you can look for a new broadcasting partner"! Cole: "No, I got one better than that! He was talking about how he use to call ECW all by himself earlier tonight..... let's see ya do it again"! Styles: "Very funny..... but ya know what, I will if I have to"! J.R.: "Rowdy Roddy Piper has come to Rampage, that's sure gonna make things interesting, and look at this"! AS PIPER STOOD ATOP THE RAMP WITH HIS MUSIC STILL PLAYING, OLIVER CAME WALKING UP AND THE TWO WERE CAUGHT IN A LONG STAREDOWN. FINALLY, OLIVER JUST CRACKED A GRIN AND WENT TO THE BACK. Cole: "Ya gotta wonder what Piper thinks of GeNext". Tenay: "Oh, I bet I could tell ya". BACKSTAGE....... The shot shifts backstage and the fans cheer when Lena Yada is shown standing next to Jordan Rockwell.
Lena Yada: "Jordan, tonight at Evil Intentions, in order for you to get PrimeTime a draft pick, you have to face a guy I know you are friends with in SlaughterHouse's Christian".
Jordan Rockwell: "Ya know something, Lena, fact of the matter is, Christian is not just a friend cause he has been my best friend for seven years now and that is something to be said when you are in this business, I mean, I can honestly say that I love the guy like he was my brother and proof to the point he is my son's Godfather. But fact is, like you said, to get PrimeTime a draft pick, I gotta beat him. So Christian, no disrespect intended, but when that bell rings, you will as always, see the best of me and unfortunately for you, that means that tonight, the best of me that you will see is called Extreme Measures"!
Lena: "I know that you've been in this company for seven years and that six out of those seven have been on PrimeTime, but how worried are you that your six year run on PrimeTime might be over tonight"?
THE FANS IN THE ARENA BOO
Rockwell: "I have been thinking of that from the moment that this pay-per-view was announced, and well like you said I've been with PrimeTime for six years and I can honestly say that with the exception of my wedding and my children being born, those have been the best six years of my life and while it would suck to leave, if I get drafted to one of the other three shows, then simply put, I will do what I do whereever I go. THE FANS LOUDLY CHEER
So sayeth the Franchise and so it shall cometh to be"! ROCKWELL WALKS OFF, HEADED FOR THE RING. LENA CAN ONLY SMILE IN ADMIRATION. "JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE COMES ON AND CHRISTIAN IS OUT TO A PRETTY GOOD CHEER. J.R.: "Back to the ring we go and you just heard from Jordan Rockwell, this will be a battle between two good friends but it's a battle for a draft pick for one of the shows involved". Styles: "Well like Rockwell just mentioned, Christian is the Godfather of his young son and trust me, I see Christian backstage whenever we run a show and he talks of Jordan Rockwell like he is the best in this business but he also talks of him like he is family"! THE FANS GO WILD WHEN "BACK IN BLACK" BY AC/DC COMES ON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL COMES OUT WITH A VERY FOCUSED LOOK IN HIS EYES. HE HAS ONE HALF OF THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES AROUND HIS WAIST. Tenay: "And that will make this match all the more interesting, but as you just mentioned, J.R., it is worth a draft pick to either SlaughterHouse or PrimeTime". Cole: "And that's a draft pick that we would love to acquire". J.R.: "SlaughterHouse referee Mark Johnson will be in charge of this one and there goes the bell". SlaughterHouse vs. PrimeTime Christian vs. Jordan Rockwell After the bell sounded, Rockwell went for a handshake but the sneaky Christian pulled him right into an armdrag. He took that into a top wristlock but Rockwell swung his legs and got to his feet before using his free arm to pull Christain over him with a snap mare. Rockwell waited for Christian to get up and when he did, he hit the ropes, running into Christian with a shoulder tackle. Christian stood his ground and told Rockwell to hit the ropes again and when he did, Christian used a drop toehold before locking a side headlock. But Christian became distracted when he saw Katie Lea down at ringside. Christian broke the hold and went over towards Katie, but Rockwell came from behind and rolled him up for the 1............2......, but Christian kicked out. That's when Rockwell noticed Katie, and lunged at her. But just as fast as he did that, Paul Burchill, Vladimir Kozlov and Harry Smith were down at ringside. Suddenly, Christian vauled over the top rope, landing on all 3 men! Rockwell went outside and the fight was on. Johnson called for the bell, throwing it the match. The United Nations began to get the best of Rockwell and Christian when Shawn Michaels came out to an incredible roar, joining the brawl. The bell continued to sound until a hoard of officials came out from the back to pull the 6 men apart. J.R.: "The referee has thrown this thing out after the United Nations got involved and I don't know what to make of all of this"! Tenay: "The word I'm getting is that Mark Johnson has ruled the match a no contest and neither division will receive a draft pick"! Cole: "Well that's crap! Just another reason to hate this U.N."! Styles: "Well it really looks to me like the tag team champs over on PrimeTime have a pretty serious problem here"! BACKSTAGE....... SLAUGHTERHOUSE BACKSTAGE CORRESPONDENT CRYSTAL IS STANDING BY WITH BOBBY LASHLEY. Crystal: "I am here with the newest member of SlaughterHouse, Bobby Lashley. Bobby, can you tell us what it's like to be making the move to SlaughterHouse"? Bobby Lashley: "Crystal, everyone knows I've been a little banged up, but I'm just about one hundred percent and I can't wait to be a part of......... JUST THEN, KURT ANGLE COMES UP WITH A TOWEL IN HAND AND WIPES HIS FACE. Kurt Angle: "How ya doin' Bobby? ANGLE EXTENDS HIS HAND AND LASHLEY SHAKES IT. Kurt Angle..... Olympic gold medalist. All I can say is, you better not come over to my show until you are one hundred percent.... I'd hate to put you on the shelf for good. I gotta go..... I have a battle royal to go win". ANGLE WALKS AWAY AND BOTH LASHLEY AND CRYSTAL LOOK ON. CAMERAS AROUND THE RING GET A SHOT OF SEVERAL WEAPONS THAT ARE STREWN ABOUT. THINGS LIKE A KENDO STICK, GARBAGE CAN AND A STOP SIGN ARE SHOWN, AMONG MANY OTHERS. Tenay: "Well, looking at all of this, I think we know what's up next". "KING OF KINGS" BY MOTORHEAD COMES ON AND MONEY MIKE COMES OUT TO ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE RESPONSES OF THE NIGHT. J.R.: "The fans here in Sacramento are showing Money Mike about as much respect as they do wherever we go, but I am interested to see how Money Mike handles the hardcore aspect of this match". Cole: "And not only that, but against the hardcore icon himself..... Nails"! Styles: "I look around at the weapons that are out here and what I don't see are things like a fire poker, flourescent light bulbs and C4 explosives.... all things Nails is known to have used in matches in the past"! Tenay: "Well they've gotta be out here somewhere, somewhere only Nails knows about"! J.R.: "Oh look out..... Nails is in the ring"! AS MONEY MIKE FOCUSED ON THE ENTRANCE, NAILS CAME FROM BEHIND WITH A 2x4 AND SMASHED IT OVER HIS HEAD. THE BELL SOUNDED AND NAILS MADE THE COVER, BUT MIKE KICKED OUT AT 2 AND A HALF. Hardcore Rules/Rampage vs. PrimeTime Money Mike vs. Nails Nails had the advantage after the sneak attack and he went right for another weapon, grabbing a fire poker from under the ring. But Mike ran at him when he came back into the ring, tackling Nails. Mike took the fire poker, but missed hitting Nails when he rolled out of the way. Nails then flung the trash can at him and clotheslined him over the top rope, causing him to drop the fire poker. Nails then picked up the stop sign and rammed it into the face of Money Mike when he got to his feet. Nails went for the cover, but Mike was up. After whipping Mike into one of the ring posts, Nails dislodged the ring steps and picked up the top half, throwing them at Mike. Fortunately for him, and was able to duck and they clanged off the floor as Mike dropped the hockey masked psycho with a clothesline. Mike then pulled out a box of flourescent light bulbs from under the ring, smashing two of them over the head of Nails. After wrapping an electrical cord around the throat of Nails, he began choking him with all his might. Referee Chad Patton couldn't do anything to stop him, but the look of concern on Patton's face was telling. Mike finally let loose but Nails had nothing left, and Mike delivered the "Money Pit" right on the floor. Mike covered him and Patton got down to make the count, 1.........2.........., but Nails was up! Mike couldn't believe it, but he pulled Nails up and this time, he delivered the Money Pit on the lower portion of the steel ring steps. After the devastating move, Nails was down for the count of 3 and the match was over. Match Time: 4:33 Cole: "I can't believe we just saw that! Money Mike has broken Nails here at Evil Intentions"! Styles: "He's beaten Nails at his own game, guys"! JUST THEN, MORE BOOS SWIRLED AROUND AS EDDIE SAINT JAMES AND MONICA CAME OUT TO PICK THE BONES OF NAILS. MIKE GRABBED A STEEL CHAIR AND WENT INTO THE RING, RAISING THE CHAIR AS THE CROWD POUNDED HIM WITH BOOS. J.R.: "Look at this, like a couple of damn scavengers! Somebody stop this"! AFTER GETTING THEIR SHOTS IN ON NAILS, THE SAINT AND MONICA GOT IN THE RING BUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON, MONEY MIKE SLAMMED THE CHAIR OVER THE HEAD OF SAINT JAMES. Tenay: "What the heck was that for"?! MONICA SLAPPED MIKE ACROSS THE FACE AND BEGAN TO BERATE HIM, BUT HE PULLED HER RIGHT INTO THE MONEY PIT! SOME OF THE CROWD WAS EVEN CHEERING THIS. Cole: "What the hell is going on here?! Money Mike has taken out Eddie Saint James and Monica and for what"?! Styles: "And we still need to find out who Rampage gets with this draft pick"! THE TWF TRON CYCLES THROUGH THE FACES OF EVERY SINGLE TWF SUPERSTAR, ONE LAST TIME. FINALLY, IT COMES TO A STOP ON NONE OTHER THAN MONICA. J.R.: "Oh would you look at this! What are the odds of this pick"! Tenay: "After just being by the Money Pit, Monica is now a part of Rampage"! "KING OF KINGS" PLAYED AGAIN AS EDDIE SAINT JAMES DID HIS BEST TO COVER MONICA WHILE MONEY MIKE LEFT TO THE BIGGEST BOOS OF THE NIGHT. Cole: "You better hold on and hold on tight there Eddie, you won't be able to do it anymore"! BACKSTAGE....... TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING WITH MELINA IN THE BACK. Todd Grisham: "Melina, no one has seen or heard from Travis Wakeman tonight..... have you talked to him". Melina: "Todd, with all due respect, if I.......... JUST THEN, VINCE McMAHON COMES UP IN AN ALL BLACK OUTFIT, A VERY INTENSE LOOK ON HIS FACE. Vince McMahon: "Whenever you do talk to him, you tell him this. When I defeat him tonight, his TWF contract is forever terminated....... I never want to see his face in my company again! And if he wins...... well he doesn't get a damn thing"! Melina: "Ya know Vince, that's perfect, because the only thing Travis wants to do tonight..... is prove a point". MELINA TURNS AND WALKS AWAY, LEAVING VINCE STANDING WITH GRISHAM. Vince McMahon: "What a bitch". THE SHOT GOES TO ANOTHER PART OF THE BACKSTAGE AREA, WHERE AN IRATE EDDIE SAINT JAMES HAS FOUND SHANE McMAHON. Eddie Saint James: "I'm telling you right now.... you do whatever you can to get me traded to Rampage! Monica is not going over there alone"! Shane McMahon: "Eddie, I can't keep giving in to all this crap you demand! I mean, if you think....... JUST THEN, MUHAMMAD HASSAN COMES UP. Muhammad Hassan: "Eddie..... I'd love to have you on Rampage. Shane, I'm sure there's something that can be worked out". Shane McMahon: "Fine..... fine.... we'll work something out". THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING WHICH IS FILLING UP WITH SUPERSTARS FOR THE BATTLE ROYAL. EACH SUPERSTAR IS WEARING A HIS DIVISION's T-SHIRT. RED FOR RAMPAGE, ORANGE FOR PRIMETIME, GREEN FOR SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND BLUE FOR BADLANDZ. J.R.: "Twenty of the top superstars here in the TWF are about to battle it out to earn his division the right to sign the next two superstars to come down the TWF pipe to their show"! Styles: "And I gotta tell ya, I like the lineup SlaughterHouse has put out there guys"! Cole: "Well the rules for this thing are simple. Once an entire show has been eliminated, they are out! In other words, this is a divisional battle royal more than it is an individual thing"! Tenay: "And Badlandz has five bad dudes in there, I wanna see us get the next two superstars"! 20 Man over the top rope Battle Royal Rampage: Chris Masters, Mr. Kennedy, Sylvester Terkay, Chris Tirpak and J.J. Ramplin vs. PrimeTime: Edge, John Cena, Finlay, William Regal and PJ Cash vs. SlaughterHouse: Kurt Angle, Triple H, Hardcore Holly, Rey Mysterio and Viscera vs. Badlandz: Kane, Booker T, Chris Jericho, Snitsky and Mr. Hughes After the bell sounded, Chris Masters completely threw teamwork out the door when he cracked the number one contender to his title, Mr. Kennedy, with his double sledge to the head. That allowed Edge to pick up the easy elimination of Kennedy. Hardcore Holly decided to slug it out with the ECW World champion Sylvester Terkay. That didn't go to well for Holly as he was dumped over the top rope by the Manbear. Mysterio then got caught going for the "West Coast Pop" by John Cena who just muscled him over the top rope. Cena then started trading blows with Booker T. But Terkay singled out Cena and dropped him with his devastating Heart Punch. Terkay picked Cena up and tried to get him over the top rope when Cena's bitter enemy Edge came and helped him, going at it with Terkay. Terkay was able to catch Edge with a headbutt but Cena popped up, full of adrenaline, and helped the Rated R Superstar get Terkay out of the ring! Cena and Edge gave each other a long look when Kane came up and kicked Edge right in the face. But Cena responded by clotheslining the Big Red Machine over the top rope! Edge and Cena continued to team up, helping one another get Booker T out of the ring. Chris Jericho caught a shillelagh to the head from Finlay which allowed the fighting Irishman to eliminate Y2J. PJ Cash was then hoisted high above the head of Masters in a military press before the Masterpiece threw Cash out of the ring, right into the arms of his new insurance policy, The Warlord. Masters and Cena began to go at it but PrimeTime again teamed up. This time, it was Edge spearing the Masterpiece before Finlay clotheslined him out of the ring. But as Cena tried to recover, Chris Tirpak came from behind and dumped him over the top rope. Tirpak then fended off both Edge and Finlay. Snitsky came over, trying to get Finlay out but Edge was able to lowblow Tirpak before grabbing the legs of Snitsky and hoisting the new member of Badlandz over the top rope. Mr. Hughes was the last hope for Badlandz, and he was almost untouchable throughout the battle royal. Suddenly, the ring parted as the remaining superstars allowed Hughes to battle Viscera. The two behemoths went at it, rocking each other with blow after blow. But as this was going on, J.J. Ramplin saw Finlay not paying attention and he clotheslined him out of the ring. Mr. Hughes hit the ropes and slammed into Viscera, but he couldn't budge him. He tried it again, but Big Vis smashed him with an incredible rolling wheel kick. Tirpak jumped on the back of Viscera, but Vis grabbed Tirpak and flung him not only over his head, but out of the ring! Hughes came from behind, trying to tip the 500 pound monster out of the ring, but Triple H came to the aid of his SlaughterHouse mate and he somehow got the massive Hughes out of the ring, ending the chances for Badlandz. We were down to the nitty gritty when Ramplin was caught off guard by his former mentor, William Regal. Regal and Edge were left for PrimeTime against Triple H, Kurt Angle and Viscera for SlaughterHouse. As the 5 men began brawling, Triple H was able to get control of Regal, and he nearly had him out. Regal was teetering on the top rope when Edge came from behind and lowblowed The Game, allowing him to get the elimination. Big Vis charged over at the PrimeTime duo, but Edge and Regal combined to pull the top rope down, lowbridging Viscera who found himself on the floor. Angle found himself at a 2 on 1 disadvantage and he first hit Regal with a belly to belly suplex. Edge went for the spear but Angle leapfrogged him and then picked Edge up, trying to get him out. Edge fought with all he had, but Regal came from behind, trying to get Angle out. The momentum actually knocked Edge out of the ring and Angle onto the apron. Regal then kicked Angle right in the head, knocking him to the floor. Match Time: 20:17 Cole: "That's it! William Regal has won the battle royal! PrimeTime gets the next two TWF rookies"! Tenay: "A huge win for Regal, but it's also a win for the United Nations, who are only getting stronger"! J.R.: "Who knows, maybe one or even both of these rookies will end up joining the U.N."! THE UNITED NATIONS' MUSIC PLAYED AS REGAL LEFT THE RING TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS. Cole: "It's been an incredible night here at Evil Intentions, and we're about to recap the entire draft, but we have just been handed news of a major trade between Rampage and PrimeTime"! J.R.: "I can't believe Shane McMahon and Muhammad Hassan have agreed to anything, but Rampage is going to get Randy Orton, Eddie Saint James and Deuce for Mark Henry, Tatanka and the guy Rampage just got in this draft..... Bloodhunt". Cole: "Several superstars switchin divisions, but up next, it's time for Hell to come to Earth"! J.R.: "Folks, up next is the Hell in a Cell match and if you have a weak stomach, you might want to call it a night"! Cole: "Well fans, we are set, but before we get to this historic matchup, let's take a look at this......... "PAIN" BY THREE DAYS GRACE PLAYS INTO A VIDEO PACKAGE WHICH LASTS ABOUT 3 AND A HALF MINUTES. THE VIDEO STARTS BY SHOWING A YOUNG TRAVIS WAKEMAN WORKING HIS WAY UP THE LADDER IN THE TWF. THE VIDEO THEN SHOWS AN EPISODE PRIMETIME FROM MAY 4, 2000 WHEN VINCE DEFEATED TRAVIS WAKEMAN FOR THE TWF WORLD TITLE. VINCE FORFEITED THE TITLE AND PUT IT UP IN THE FIRST EVER "ERUPTION" MATCH, ONLY TO SEE WAKEMAN REGAIN THE TITLE BY OUTLASTING 11 OTHER MEN. THE VIDEO GOES ON TO SHOW WAKEMAN GET BY EVERY OBSTACLE VINCE PUT IN HIS WAY, ONLY TO HAVE VINCE COST HIM THE WORLD TITLE AT EVIL INTENTIONS LAST YEAR WHEN CHRIS MASTERS PUT THE MASTERLOCK ON AND VINCE CALLED FOR THE BELL BEFORE WAKEMAN HAD EVER THOUGHT ABOUT GIVING UP, SOMETHING THAT HAS BECOME WIDELY KNOWN AS THE "OTTAWA INCIDENT". WAKEMAN SAT OUT FOR OVER A YEAR, WAITING FOR HIS CHANCE TO COME BACK AND STRIKE. THE VIDEO GOES TO WRESTLEMANIA 24, WHERE LA PARKA WON A SPECIAL INVITATION BATTLE ROYALE. MELINA IS THEN SHOWN TALKING SOME TRASH ABOUT THE DEPARTED STEPHANIE McMAHON, WHICH LED TO VINCE CALLING HER TO THE RING. INTENT ON HUMILIATING MELINA, VINCE ASKS HER TO STRIP DOWN AND GIVE SOME OVERWEIGHT FAN IN THE FRONT ROW A LAP DANCE. BUT LA PARKA COMES OUT FROM THE BACK, CARRYING A STEEL CHAIR. BANG! LA PARKA SLAMS THE CHAIR OVER THE HEAD OF McMAHON AND THEN REMOVES HIS MASK...... IT's TRAVIS WAKEMAN! WAKEMAN IS SET TO FACE VINCE AT FOUL PLAY IN A HELL IN A CELL MATCH, BUT VINCE WEASELS HIS WAY OUT OF IT. THE PACKAGE ENDS BY SHOWING CLIPS OF WAKEMAN DESTROYING SNITSKY ON A RECENT RAMPAGE AND THEN THE VOICE OF VINCE IS HEARD SAYING IF HE WINS TONIGHT, WAKEMAN's TWF CONTRACT IS "FOREVER TERMINATED". BACK TO LIVE ACTION, THE FANS ARE BUZZING AS THE CELL HAS ENCOMPASSED THE RING. "NO CHANCE" PLAYED AND VINCE McMAHON CAME OUT TO ALMOST ALL BOOS. VINCE WALKS TO THE RING WITH HIS USUAL SWAGGER AND HE SEEMS VERY CONFIDENT. J.R.: "Here comes the boss, the man who runs the show and I'll tell ya, for someone who is about to compete in that structure, he looks awful confident". Styles: "Vince McMahon is Vince McMahon. Who else talks about having balls the size of grapefruits"?! Tenay: "Let's be honest here guys, he's facing a man who is on edge to say the least and unless he has something up his sleeve, he's in a lot of trouble tonight"! Cole: "Mr. McMahon has said that if he wins this match tonight, Travis Wakeman's contract will be forever terminated". "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN COMES ON AND THE FANS START TO CHEER AND SCREAM IN ANTICIPATION OF TRAVIS WAKEMAN APPEARING. FINALLY, HE COMES OUT IN A PAIR OF BLACK BOXING TRUNKS AND A BLACK "TECHNICAL MAGICIAN" T-SHIRT. VINCE IS IN THE RING, DARING HIM TO GET IN. Tenay: "Well here we go.... this is actually gonna happen"! Cole: "Mr. McMahon isn't backing down an inch! He's demanding Wakeman get in the ring with him"! J.R.: "Oh look out"! BEFORE WAKEMAN CAN ENTER THE CELL, TEST AND A-TRAIN, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS T&A FROM BADLANDZ ATTACK WAKEMAN FROM BEHIND. AFTER A NASTY BICYCLE KICK FROM A-TRAIN, TEST PICKS WAKEMAN UP ON HIS SHOULDER AND THROWS HIM INTO THE CELL WALL LIKE A LONG DART. VINCE TELLS THEM TO OPEN THE DOOR AND BRING WAKEMAN INTO THE CELL, AND THE MATCH IS UNDERWAY. Hell in a Cell Vince McMahon vs. Travis Wakeman With Test and A-Train in the cell with him, Vince is all over Wakeman, getting down on the mat and choking him before hitting him with several forearms to the face. Vince gets away and screams "Get up"! Wakeman does get up and Vince goes for a clothesline but Wakeman ducks and busts Vince's mouth open with a stiff right hand. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out about a 24 inch biker chain, wrapping it around his fist. Test and A-Train get into the ring but Wakeman introduces them both to the chain, hitting each man with it. Vince gets up and comes from behind on Wakeman, jumping onto his shoulders. But after Wakeman shook him off, he delivered a nice belly to belly suplex. Wakeman then got down and popped Vince with the chain several times, making him a bloody mess. Wakeman took the chain and threw it at the cell wall before grabbing Vince's legs, looking for the Sharpshooter. But just then, Heidenreich and Matt Morgan from SlaughterHouse ran out and got into the cell. Morgan got in and kicked Wakeman right in the face before Heidenreich picked him up for a big shoulderbreaker. Meanwhile, Vince had left the cell and began to climb the outside, heading for the ceiling, which no one could understand. Once up there, Vince dropped and was bleeding profusely. Morgan picked Wakeman up for a powerbomb but Wakeman punched him 3 times right in the face before pulling him to the mat with a DDT. Heidenreich came at Wakeman, but he ran right into him with somewhat of a football tackle. Wakeman then went and grabbed a steel chair that was inside the cell before coming back into the ring and hitting both Morgan and Heidenreich in the head. Wakeman looked up to see the helpless chairman. Without hesitation, Wakeman went outside and and climbed to the top of the cell. Once at the top, Wakeman pulled Vince to his feet before delivering the "Royal Flush" right on the ceiling! Wakeman made the cover and got the 1...........2...........3. Match Time: 7:06 J.R.: "Mercifully, this is over! Vince McMahon has been punished, even after sending out superstars from Badlandz and SlaughterHouse to help him"! Tenay: "Wait a minute, look at the look on Wakeman's face. Something tells me he's not done"! Cole: "Oh my God.... he can't be thinking of doing this"! Styles: "Get outta the way"! JUST THEN, THE 4 ANNOUNCERS SCRAMBLED TO GET OUT OF THEIR CHAIRS AS WAKEMAN PICKED VINCE UP AND LAUNCHED HIM OFF THE CELL! VINCE SMASHED THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE AS A DEAFENING "HOLY SHIT" CHANT BROKE OUT! J.R.: "Oh my God! Vince McMahon has been thrown twenty feet off of that cell"! Cole: "Mr. McMahon has been broken in half! This is chaos"! Tenay: "Guys..... I don't even know what to say! We need medical help out here.... fast"! EMT's RUSHED DOWN TO THE SCENE AS "MAKE WAY" PLAYED AGAIN. WAKEMAN STOOD ATOP THE CELL, LOOKING DOWN WITH AN ALMOST DISTANT LOOK IN HIS EYES. Styles: "There is certainly no remorse in Wakeman right now. I can't even believe this". J.R.: "Vince McMahon threatened to end the career of Travis Wakeman tonight, but it appears we may have seen the end of something else"!
