Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 7,258
July 20, 2004

Wilkes-Barre may not be the biggest venue the TWF has visited in 2004, but don't tell the fans there that. They came with signs, t-shirts and everything else they could think of to show support for their favorite superstars and their favorite wrestling organization, the TWF. One fan interviewed outside the arena said they'd been to 2 other shows in July put on by other companies but his direct quote was "but I know they won't be as good as this". Thanks sir and here we go starting with Uprising. Nathan Jones w/ Cyrus the Virus vs. Alex Shelley (invitee) Fans were excited to see Alex Shelley, a superstar with a tremendous upside trained by Jim "The Anvil" Niedhart. But this may've been Nathan Jones' most impressive performance to date as he just manhandled Shelley and forced him to tap out with a neck crank. Cyrus seemed more them pleased with his "Enforcer of the law". Goldust vs. Curtis Thompson (invitee) Fans may remember Thompson from his WCW days as Firebreaker Chip. But on this night, he seemed very rusty as if he hasn't been wrestling actively. The crafty veteran Goldust took advantage of that and within five minutes, defeated him with the "Curtain Call". The Network Police w/ Cyrus the Virus vs. Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo Uprising concluded with this exciting tag team match as Cyrus came out again. Palumbo and Stasiak were all over the so called FCC employees, battering them with several nice double teams. But late in the match, Cyrus got the referee's attention and Nathan Jones came back out, taking Stasiak out of the equation with a clothesline. Palumbo tried to go out and help his partner but Steven Richards came from behind and turned him around into the "Stevie T" to get the win. THE HORRIBLY ANNOYING SIRENS OF THE NETWORK POLICE BLARED OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AS THEY LEFT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT. RAMPAGE GOES LIVE
AS RAMPAGE COMES ON THE AIR, A REPLAY OF STEPHANIE McMAHON ANNOUNCING THE 6 MAN HELL IN A CELL MATCH FOR ANARCHY RULZ LAST WEEK IS SHOWN. THAT LEADS INTO THE MONTAGE VIDEO WHILE "ACROSS THE NATION" PLAYS. PYRO LETS THE THOUSANDS INSIDE THE FIRST UNION CENTER KNOW THAT IT's SHOWTIME AS JIM ROSS AND JERRY "THE KING" LAWLER ADDRESS THE VIEWING CROWD. Jim Ross: "We are steamrolling towards Anarchy Rulz and we have stopped in Wilkes-Barre for one last Rampage before the pay-per-view"! "IF I COULD BE LIKE MACK" HIT AND RODNEY MACK CAME OUT WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL. Jerry Lawler: "This crowd is wild J.R., I can tell this is gonna be a big night"! J.R.: "I think wild would be an understatement and I think that would describe what we're about to see"! SEVERAL WRESTLERS ARE ALREADY IN THE RING. Lawler: "When was the last time we started a show with a battle royale J.R.?! This is great"! J.R.: "I can't tell ya King, this may be history tonight. And it will be history at Anarchy Rulz when these eight men will take part in a turmoil match to determine a number one contender for the King of Cable title". Lawler: "And whoever wins this thing is gonna have a huge leg up in that match J.R.". J.R.: "It's last man standing here and you're right King, the winner here will take all kinds of momentum into the pay-per-view"! Battle royale featuring the participants in the Anarchy Rulz turmoil match The battle royale got started like a street fight with bodies flying everywhere. Rodney Mack was a menace early, pounding away on Frankie Kazarian. But A-Train came over and picked up where he left off with Mack last week and the two traded heavy shots. Carney and Johnny Blaze found each other and Blaze seemed defenseless against the aggressive attack of Carney. Meanwhile, Taylor Made tried to fight off Billy Gunn, still mad about the whole thing with Victoria and Hurricane came over to help him out. After a double suplex by Gunn and Hurricane on Taylor, Carney put Blaze down with the "C-Drive". He then got up and bumped into Gunn, his partner from a week ago. But Hurricane charged at him with a clothesline that took him out of the ring. Gunn tried to capitalize by dumping Hurricane out but the superhero held the top rope and pulled Gunn out. On the other side of the ring, Mack and A-Train continued slugging it out with neither man giving an inch. Frankie Kazarian became the next elimination when he dove at Taylor Made, the man who beat him a week ago and Taylor used a lowbridge with the top rope and he went sailing out. Finally, Mack knocked A-Train down with a clothesline and then grabbed Blaze by the back of the head and launched him to the floor. It was 2 minutes and 34 seconds before another elimination occured and surprisingly, it was A-Train. After escaping the Baldo Bomb, Taylor dropkicked him out of the ring. Taylor then fell to the mat in exhaustion as Hurricane and Rodney Mack traded blows. Mack was able to escape the Eye of the Hurricane and drop him with the "Mack Attack" but before he could do anything, Taylor recovered and pushed him from behind, out of the ring. Taylor then picked up a lifeless Hurricane and threw him out as well before Terri and Desire got into the ring to congratulate him. Match Time: 11:28 Lawler: "Alright! Look who won it J.R."! J.R.: "Yeah I see, I just don't think I'm as enthused as his female companions". "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND PLAYED AS TAYLOR LEFT WITH HIS TWO VIXENS. Lawler: "Think about it J.R., we could be looking at the next number one contender for the King of Cable title"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP CONTAINING THE RAMPAGE LOGO WITH KURT ANGLE AND JOE COREY ON ONE SIDE AND EDDIE GUERRERO WITH SHELTON BENJAMIN ON THE OTHER. J.R.: "He could be just that but still to come is this huge tag team match! Kurt Angle and the King of Cable Joe Corey team to face Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero and the up and coming Shelton Benjamin! Don't miss it"! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PROMO FOR MARK CUBAN's NEW REALITY TV SHOW "THE BENEFACTOR" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR JOE SCHMO 2. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE..... TODD GRISHAM IS STANDING WITH KURT ANGLE WHO HAS THE WORLD TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. Todd Grisham: "Back on Rampage and I am standing here with the man who has been ordered to defend his title against five other men inside Hell in a Cell at Anarchy Rulz, Kurt Angle. Kurt, would you call this your greatest challenge to date"? Kurt Angle: "Listen Todd Pettengill..... Grisham: "Uh... that's not my name". Angle: "Whatever. See this thing over my shoulder? That my friend is the World title. It also means I'm the best. It's a lot like the gold medals I used to wear around my neck, which by the way, I won with a broken freakin' neck. So to answer your question, I may be the only guy in there who's outside his element, but you mark my words, I will leave Anarchy Rulz with the World title". ANGLE WALKS BY GRISHAM WITH A CONFIDENT LOOK ON HIS FACE. BACK INSIDE THE ARENA, GOLDUST's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WITH A MICROPHONE. J.R.: "I don't know whether to call that cocky or confident". Lawler: "J.R., are you seeing what I'm seeing? Goldust has a casket at ringside"! Goldust: "Undertaker, you have yet to answer my challenge for Anarchy Rulz. So I thought I would come out here and show you how serious I am. THE CAMERA FOCUSES ON A GOLD CASKET WITH THE LETTERS R.I.P. ON THE LID IN BLACK. You see Undertaker, I had this casket custom made, just for you. Should you accept my challenge, I will place you inside the box.... close the airtight lid and slither across the top, signifying the end! The end of the Undertaker"! GOLDUST's MUSIC HITS AND HE TOSSES THE MIC DOWN BEFORE LEAVING THE RING. J.R.: "Now that's confidence J.R."! J.R.: "I sure hope Goldust knows what he's getting himself into here because this is not his match type, this is the specialty of The Undertaker"! Lawler: "Oh come on J.R, we haven't seen The Undertaker in months and he's given Goldust no answer"! J.R.: "All I know is Anarchy Rulz is shaping up to be quite an event"! A SHOT OF LA RESISTANCE IS SHOWN ALONG WITH JIMMY HART. Voiceover: "Two ungreatful Canadians, looking to gain respect. SHOTS OF JOHN CENA AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA ARE SHOWN NEXT. Two men who've formed an alliance based on growing trust. These two teams, seemingly with different priorities, meet for the Rampage tag team titles, only on pay-per-view"! BACK TO LIVE ACTION, JAMAL AND ROSEY ARE SHOWN COMING OUT WITH CRYSTAL CARMICHAEL AS "3 MINUTES" BY 2 SKINNY J's IS HEARD LOUDLY. J.R.: "Those boos you hear are directed at these three as we get set for our first of two big tag team matches tonight". Lawler: "Yeah but neither of them are gonna be as big as that one at Anarchy Rulz J.R., who do you think's gonna leave with the belts"? THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGADEATH LOUDLY PLAYS AND NEMESIS COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "That's another story for another day King cause right now, Jamal and Rosey are gonna be put to the test by two men who were added to that six man Hell in a Cell by Stephanie McMahon"! "WE DON'T DIE" BY TWIZTED PLAYS AND JUSTIN SANE COMES OUT, GARNERING MORE CHEERS THAN USUAL. Lawler: "Okay, let's get serious J.R, do you really think one of these guys has a chance to win that thing"? J.R.: "Of course they do! I realize that neither Nemesis nor Justin Sane have been in many pay-per-view main events, but that all goes out the window in the Hell in a Cell and even though I respect Kurt Angle's abilities, that type of match suits one of these two men more"! Lawler: "Well one interesting fact is that these two men both used to be part of a group called Anacrhy, Inc. and how appropriate that at Anarchy Rulz, they'll get that shot J.R."! J.R.: "I hadn't forgotten that King and you are right, it would be poetic. But they have a huge, no pun intended, challenge in front of them tonight"! Jamal and Rosey w/ Crystal Carmichael vs. Nemesis and Justin Sane The bell sounded and Justin Sane, easily the smallest man in the match, stood across from Rosey. Rosey lunged at him but Sane used his speed to duck and catch him with a quick kick. The process frustrated Rosey to the point where he charged and Sane used a drop toe hold before tagging in Nemesis. Nemesis dropped a big elbow on the back of Rosey's neck before pulling him up and beating him with some shots to the body. He then tossed him to the far corner and ran in but Rosey met him with a back elbow followed by a belly to belly suplex. A tag was made and the big men opened up on Nemesis which got Crystal clapping. After a toss up into a samoan drop, Jamal covered Nemesis but Sane came in to break up the pin. Off an irish whip moments later, Jamal dropped his head a tad early and Nemesis countered with a jumping DDT. He then made it to his corner and tagged in Sane who came in and was all over Jamal, finally dropping him with a flying forearm. Rosey came in which brought Nemesis back in and after a double clothesline, Nemesis went for a running boot on Jamal but he moved and the boot smashed the face of Sane! Sane crashed to the mat and Rosey delivered a swimging sideslam on Nemesis as Jamal went to the top rope, very quickly for his size and came off with the big Samoan splash on Sane, hooking the leg for the academic 3 count. Match Time: 8:28 "3 MINUTES" HIT AGAIN AND CRYSTAL LED HER BOYS AWAY AS THE FANS RECIPROCATED WITH LOUD BOOS. J.R.: "One mistake by Nemesis has erased a great performance by he and Justin Sane"! Lawler: "Not only that, I think it erased some of Sane's brain cells"! AS SANE SLOWLY RECOVERED, HE GAVE NEMESIS A SPITEFUL STARE. J.R.: "Well they won't be partners and they sure as hell won't be friends at Anarchy Rulz.... look at Justin Sane"! Lawler: "Nemesis doesn't seem too concerned J.R.". BACKSTAGE...... HIGH OCTANE IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN CHRISTIAN COMES UP. Christian: "Hey man, there's a meeting in Stephanie's office about the Nation's Cup". High Octane: "Okay, I'll be there. By the way man, I've been meaning to tell you that I agree with you, I think Shawn Michaels is definitely ducking you". Christian: "Oh no doubt". JUST THEN, BRADSHAW COMES UP. Bradshaw: "Good day Mr. Damion West. HE SHAKES HIS HAND. I just wanted to say congratulations on being made part of the Hell in a Cell match at Anarchy Rulz and good luck to you. However, I feel that it will definitely be my night at the pay-per-view". BRADSHAW TIPS HIS HAT TO BOTH MEN AND WALKS AWAY AS CHRISTIAN AND HIGH OCTANE GIVE EACH OTHER A WEIRD LOOK. COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR GATORADE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR GARNIER FRUCTIS SHAMPOO. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS RAMPAGE COMES BACK, THE MUSIC OF LA RESISTANCE IS PLAYING AND THEY ARE IN THE RING WAVING CANADIAN FLAGS AND JIMMY HART IS IN THERE WITH THEM, WITH HIS MEGAPHONE. Jimmy Hart: (through the megaphone) "Listen up people..... these are your tag team champions! They command respect and they'd like that you treat them as the champions they are"! THE CROWD BOOS LOUDLY J.R.: "My God... put the megaphone away"! Lawler: "Come on J.R., is it that much to ask"? Rob Storm: "All we have heard lately is how good John Cena and Austin Pyromania have become. They haven't lost a match. Well Sylvan Grenier and myself.... we could care less! Because at Anarchy Rulz, they will run into Canada's favorite sons and who knows Austin.... maybe it's your own partner who attacked you that one night"! J.R.: "Oh come on! He didn't need to go there"! SYLVAN GRENIER TAKES THE MIC BUT BEFORE HE CAN SAY A WORD, THE CROWD ERUPTS AS "BASIC THUGANOMICS" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT IN A PHILADELPHIA EAGLES THROWBACK JERSEY WITH RANDALL CUNNINGHAM's #12 ON IT. Lawler: "Oh no! Listen to this place J.R."! J.R.: "Like everywhere else we go... it's John Cena country"! John Cena: "Pyro had a little meeting to tend to so I gotta do this myself. But no matter.... because the champ is in the house!! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS I said... the champ is in the house! MORE CHEERS, AS LOUD AS THEY'VE BEEN ALL NIGHT. La Resistance, you two may have the titles, but let's face it, you ain't gonna get no respect. You call yourselves Canada's favorite sons. Hmm, I wonder why? Because everywhere I go all I hear is how you two check out other guys! But then you did one better, you called me the man who attacked Pyro. I ain't gotta defend myself on that, cause he and I know what's up. And what else we know is it couldn't of been you two.... cause not only do y'all not have the balls.... but you were too busy beating each other off while Jimmy Hart sat right next to you"! Lawler: "Oh my gosh"! Cena: "And at Anarchy Rulz, oh yeah, it's on. And at the end of the night, it's gonna be Pyrotechnics and the F-U and the new champs will have just beaten the hell out of you two"! "BASIC THUGANOMICS" KICKED UP AGAIN AND LA RESISTANCE THREW A FIT AS HART YELLED "JUST YOU WAIT CENA" THREW HIS MEGAPHONE. Lawler: "Can you believe the mouth on this guy J.R."? J.R.: "There's only one John Cena and I also believe what he says! I think we'll see new Rampage tag team champs at Anarchy Rulz"! STEPHANIE's OFFICE.... INSIDE STEPHANIE's OFFICE, SHE STANDS WITH HIGH OCTANE, CHRISTIAN AND JOE COREY WHEN AUSTIN PYROMANIA ENTERS AND STANDS AWAY FROM THE OTHER 3. Stephanie: "Okay, now that you're all here, I wanted to stress to you guys the importance of bringing the Nation's Cuo to Rampage. We were already voted the most entertaining wrestling program last year, so think of what this would do to benefit us. I sure hope the four of you can put aside any issues you may have with one another for at least one night, to win the cup". High Octane: "Well, before we agree to anything, I have something I gotta say". JOE COREY GIVES HIM A WEIRD LOOK AND NUDGES HIM. Stephanie: "And what would that be Damion". High Octane: "Ya know, it's not that important, it can wait". Stephanie: "Okay, I'm counting on you guys". PYROMANIA OPENS THE DOOR AND LEAVES THE OFFICE AS THE SCENE CUTS TO RINGSIDE WHERE DESIRE IS COMING OUT TO TAYLOR MADE's THEME, "LIKE A PIMP" BY DA BAND. J.R.: "Well I'm in agreement with Stephanie there... I'd love to see that cup come to Rampage"! Lawler: "Well so would I J.R., but something tells me that at least one of those guys doesn't fit on that team"! A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE ANARCHY RULZ LOGO POPS UP WITH VICTORIA IN THE CENTER WITH LITA AND DESIRE TO EACH SIDE OF HER. J.R.: "We have been joined by our Women's champion and just announced folks, she will defend that title at Anarchy Rulz in a triple threat against Lita and Gail Kim. How are you tonight Victoria"? "LOVEFURYPASSIONENERGY" BY BOY HITS CAR IS HEARD AND LITA COMES OUT TO AN OUTSTANDING POP. Victoria: "I'm doing great J.R., just thought I'd comoe take a look at one of my opponents that night". Lawler: "Well Victoria, I'm sure you know that I am becoming a huge fan of yours but do you think this challenge will be too much for you"? Victoria: "It's definitely gonna be great competition King, no doubt but in my mind, nothing is impossible". Lawler: "So if I were to ask you out for after the show, you'd say yes"?! VICTORIA JUST LAUGHS. J.R.: "Don't mind the King, he forgets his purpose out here sometimes". Desire vs. Lita The match started quickly and both women came out hungry for a win. After ducking a clothesline, Lita went for a hurracanrana but Desire countered with a powerbomb. Desire's skills in the ring have greatly improved and the crowd seemed stunned as she became the aggressor in the match. After a snap suplex, Desire went to the top rope. But that was her undoing. She came off with a cross body block but Lita countered with a big dropkick. When she got up, Lita stuck her with a big DDT before going to the top rope herself. The crowd knew what was coming and she came off with her moonsault, landing it hard for the 1......2.......3. Match Time: 7:14 J.R.: "A tough, hard fought victory for Lita and she looks ready for you Victoria"! Victoria: "She sure does, she got through a surprising challenge tonight". Lawler: "Wait a minute, there's Gail Kim"! GAIL KIM RAN OUT AND SLID INTO THE RING, NAILING LITA FROM BEHIND WITH A HARD FOREARM SHOT. THE SOUND OF A HEADSET BEING SET DOWN WAS HEARD AND VICTORIA RAN TO THE RING WITH HER WOMAN's TITLE AS THE CROWD CHEERED. SHE GOT INTO THE RING AND AVOIDING A SHOT FROM KIM, CATCHING HER WITH A BIG SUPERKICK. BUT LITA GOT UP AND ARGUED WITH VICTORIA, ACTING AS IF SHE DIDN'T WANT THE HELP. J.R.: "Boy these ladies just can't seem to get along King". Lawler: "How ungreatful is Lita? She's yelling at her savior here"! J.R.: "Lita's a proud woman and feels she could've handled the situation herself I'm sure but at Anarchy Rulz, all three of these divas are gonna be in the ring together". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... BACKSTAGE.... TODD GRISHAM IS WITH SCOTT STEINER. Todd Grisham: "Scott Steiner, last week we heard the Network Police say they were gonna censor you for good and now rumors are swirling that they were the reason you were taken off the card for TWF Breakthrough. How do you respond to this"? Scott Steiner: "Network Police...... you claim to be sent heer by the FCC and you claim to have the power to censor me! Well soon, I'm gonna give you all good reason to censor me and we'll see how serious you really are"! Lawler: "What's he mean by that"?! J.R.: "One can only imagine.... folks don't go away"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "BOURNE SUPREMACY" STARRING MATT DAMON IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR CASTROL GTX MOTOR OIL. RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE.... AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, JOHN CENA FINDS AUSTIN PYROMANIA IN A HALLWAY. John Cena: "What's up bro? You hear what I told those Canadian chumps"? Austin Pyromania: "Yeah, good stuff man". Cena: "So how'd the meeting go"? Pyromania: "I don't know, I'm gonna do everything in my power to bring the Nation's Cup here to Rampage, but I'm not gonna do it for the three guys I'm teamed with". Cena: "I hear ya man. Well listen, come Anarchy Rulz, you have a partner you know you can trust". CENA EXTENDS HIS HAND AND PYRO SLAPS IT AS THE CAMERA SWITCHES BACK TO IT's RINGSIDE LOCATION. DOUG AND DANNY BASHAM ARE INSIDE THE RING WITH THEIR MUSIC PLAYING. Lawler: "What a self righteuos..... J.R.: "King don't even say it! Pyromania is dealing with a situation where he was seriously attacked here several weeks ago and no one hnas any clue as to who it was! How would that make you feel"?! VAL VENIS' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Lawler: "Oh I hear ya J.R., but if it were me, and I had Stacy Kiebler around, I think I'd find a way to soothe the pain"! J.R.: "Wow, what a surprise answer. But switching gears here, Val Venis is going to face Danny Basham in one on one action and while we get the chance, we wanna thank everyone out there for making last week's premiere of Rampage the highest rated cable tv show of the week"! Lawler: "We do have some great fans and I can't wait to see how they turn out in Monterrey, Mexico"! J.R.: "Well we'll have more on that here in a minute but first, Val Venis is going to have to deal with not one Basham but two, now is that fair"? Lawler: "I'm sure if Val had a brother he'd be out here too J.R.". Danny Basham w/ Doug Basham vs. Val Venis Right off the bat, Doug swiped at one of Val's feet, causing just enough distraction for Danny to get in a cheap shot. Val battled back but Danny caught him with a side russian leg sweep and got a 2 count with it. After a scoop slam, Danny hit the ropes and got up in the air for a big legdrop. Val seemed to be in some trouble early but after Danny hit the ropes, he put him down with a spinebuster and then hit the ropes, dropping a big knee on his head. Val then went outside the ring and clobbered Doug with a right hand. But Danny came out from behind him and pushed him into the post. Doug and Danny then huddled up and spun around, confusing the ref and all the fans and from what it looked like, Doug got into the ring. Val followed and went after Doug, who fell back into the corner, acting scared of the former World champ. But Danny came in from behind with a running double axe handle to the back. Danny then hit Matt Hardy's old Richochet move and covered him for the 1......2......, but that was it. Danny seemed very confident and on his way to an unlikely upset. But off an irish whip, he dropped his head too soon and Val used a fisherman suplex to score the quick 3 count. Doug ran into the ring but Val smashed him with a clothesline. Both Basham's rolled out of the ring as Val asked for the house mic. Match Time: 3:52 J.R.: "Val Venis has picked up the win despite multiple distractions and now he's got something to say"! Val Venis: "Christian.... you and I got some unfinished business! Remember how you wined like a little baby when you weren't on the card for our last pay-per-view"? J.R.: "I remember it". Venis: "Well, I got a way to fix that this time. So what I'm sayin' is, you and me, one on one at Anarchy Rulz"! THE CROWD LOUDLY CHEERS. J.R.: "The crowd likes it"! Lawler: "I don't know J.R., I don't know if Val is making the right move with that challenge"! J.R.: "Well he's got a point, I don't see Christian trying to get on the card like he did for Evil Intentions! Now Val has given him a way to solve it"! A PROMO AIRS FOR TWF BREAKTHROUGH SHOWING SUPERSTARS FROM NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING AND AAA MEXICO. Voiceover: "Monterrey, Mexico will witness history. AAA Mexico and New Japan combine with the TWF to bring you the Nation's Cup. What team will take home this prestiguos trophy? Find out when the TWF goes international one more time, Friday July 23rd on Spike Tv". BACK TO LIVE ACTION, "STAND BACK..... THERE's A HURRICANE COMIN' TRHOUGH" IS HEARD AND THE MUSIC OF THE DYNAMIC DUO PLAYS AS THE ORANGE AND BLACK CLAD SUPERHERO CYCLONE COMES OUT TO A GREAT CHEER. SEVERAL YOUNG FANS ARE SHOWN DRESSED UP AS HE AND THE HURRICANE. J.R.: "Folks you don't wanna miss TWF Breakthrough and King, I am especially looking forward to this event". Lawler: "It's gonna be one to watch for sure J.R. and I honestly believe that Rampage has the best team of four"! J.R.: "We have a great team, no doubt about that but at Anarchy Rulz, it will be eight men inside a turmoil match to determine who will be the new number one contender for the King of Cable title and this man's partner The Hurricane will take part in that King"! Lawler: "Yeah and how does Cyclone feel about that"? J.R.: "He seemed encouraged last week". Lawler: "Well, I wouldn't appreciate being overlooked if I were him". THE CHILLING MUSIC OF MORDECAI IS HEARD AND HE WALKS OUT IN HIS WHITE ROBE, CARRYING A STAFF WITH BOTH HANDS ON IT. J.R.: "Here comes the pale rider". Lawler: "Talk about guys not to mess with J.R.". J.R.: "This man is the personification of evil in my opinion and if he has his way at Anarchy Rulz, who knows what he will do to Sam Wilde". Lawler: "I can't believe Wilde has even agreed to get into the ring with this guy J.R. but it boils down to beliefs and both these men have strong biblical beliefs". J.R.: "Yeah but Wilde's beliefs are honest and indicative of him as a person! This man here is just plain demented"! Lawler: "Good luck Cyclone but I think you've just been thrown to the wolves"! Cyclone vs. Mordecai Cyclone utilized his quickness to escape the attack of Mordecai early and chip away at him himself. He hit the ropes and went for a dropkick but Mordecai swatted it away and went for a big elbow drop, but found nobody home. Cyclone then hit the ropes and rocked him back with a clothesline, followed by another. With Mordecai still on his feet, Cyclone went to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a corss body but was caught in mid air and Mordecai just fell to the mat with him. He then shot him to the corner and followed in but Cyclone moved and then used a jumping facebuster to finally take him off his feet. Cyclone then hit the ropes for a spinning legdrop and topped him but Mordecai pressed him out of the pin and he flew over referee Chad Patton. Cyclone got up and ducked a clothesline before hitting the ropes but Mordecai ran him over with a running shoulder tackle. He followed that up with a wicked chicken wing jawbreaker before looking up to the rafters with a sick grin on his face. Mordecai then lifted Cyclone onto his shoulders and delivered the Crucifix Bomb and covered him for the 3 count. Match Time: 5:56 J.R.: "Oh boy this guy is dangerous". Lawler: "That is what Sam Wilde has to look forward to J.R."! J.R.: "Look at this"! JUST AS MORDECAI DID LAST WEEK, SAM WILDE APPEARED ON THE TWF TRON. Sam Wilde: "Mordecai, I can stoop to your level and talk about what I'm going to do to beat you at Anarchy Rulz, but I'm not gonna do that. What I will tell you is that your beliefs are corrupt, and no lord would ever give you the power to create the destruction you desire. I am not only comfortable with my sexuality Mordecai, but also my own personal beliefs. And what the lord I look up to will do is provide me with the guidance and the ability to defeat what tries to strike fear inside me. Mordecai, you are the only sinner and after Anarchy Rulz, maybe you can ask the lord what you can do to change. See you at Anarchy Rulz". J.R.: "Wow.... what a strong message from Sam Wilde"! AN IRATE MORDECAI IS SHOWN IN THE RING. Lawler: "He's crazy if he thinks this guy can't create destruction J.R."! COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "HAROLD AND KUMAR GO TO WHITE CASTLE" IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A COMMERCIAL FOR T-MOBILE FEATURING CATHERINE ZETA-JONES. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE.... AS RAW RETURNS, "LYING FROM ME" BY LINKIN PARK HITS AND JOE COREY COMES OUT ALONG WITH ALEXIS LAREE. HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. J.R.: "We're back on Rampage and we are all set for our main event and King, what a tag team match this is going to be". Lawler: "We are gonna see two of the big matches on the card for Anarchy Rulz put on display in this one"! PYRO POUNDS OFF ON THE SET AND THE MUSIC OF KURT ANGLE HITS, LEADING HIM OUT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT AND THE "YOU SUCK" CHANT. THE WORLD TITLE IS STRAPPED OVER HIS LEFT SHOULDER AS HE RAISES BOTH FINGERS TO THE SKY. J.R.: "Well it's been well documented that Joe Corey has tried to do anything to get out of defending his title against Shelton Benjamin but at Anarchy Rulz, like it or not, he will". Lawler: "What do you mean well documented J.R.? He'll defend the title, he just doesn't feel like Shelton Benjamin is on his level. He feels he's a common man"! SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A VERY WELCOME RECEPTION. J.R.: "Oh come on, that's pure crap if he said that"! Lawler: "Well let me ask you something J.R.? How many titles has Shelton won? Is he part of Team Rampage at Breakthrough"? J.R.: "Well if he can help it, he'll change that titleless streak at Anarchy Rulz but keep in mind King, Shelton is still a very young superstar with more of an upside than anyone here in the TWF if you ask me"! "VIVA LA RAZA" IS HEARD AND THAT LEADS INTO THE MUSIC OF EDDIE GUERRERO, TAKING THE FANS INTO A FRENZY AS HE PULLS IN INSIDE ONE OF HIS BEAUTIFUL LOWRIDERS. Lawler: "Well everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is that this lowrider has no business inside this arena"! J.R.: "The fans here in Wilkes-Barre no doubt came to see Latino Heat and if you think this is loud, wait until we go to Monterrey". Lawler: "Well what I look at in this match J.R. is we have two guys with titles against two guys who don't so my pick is not gonna be hard to make"! J.R.: "And like you said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion". Kurt Angle and "The Show" Joe Corey w/ Alexis Laree vs. Eddie Guerrero and Shelton Benjamin The bell sounded and the match started out between Angle and Benjamin, the two amatuer wrestling experts. They took it to the mat to no surprise and had a riveting series on it. Angle took Benjamin into a hammerlock but Benjamin evaluated his options and came up with a clever counter. Frustrated, Angle got up and threw a punch but Benjamin blocked it and fired back with one of his own before whipping him to the ropes and going to one knee for a fireman's carry. Angle then charged right into an armdrag but Benjamin let go of the hold and demanded that Corey tag in. Corey obliged and the fight was on. But Benjamin soon overtook him much as he did Angle. After catching Corey with a powerslam, Benjamin tagged in Eddie for the first time and he was all over Angle. Eddue caught him with a dropkick followed by his series of suplexes. Eddie then went and knocked Corey off the apron before tagging in Benjamin. Off an irish whip, they used a double backbody drop on Angle. Corey came into the ring and got into a scuffle with Eddie. Angle was able to counter an irish whip and belly to belly and he tagged in Corey. Alexis Laree then got on the apron and distracted referee Earl Hebner while Angle disposed of Guerrero and then lowblowed Benjamin before shoving him into a kick from Corey which led to the "Showstopper". Corey then rolled him over for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:07 Lawler: "And what a surprise! The two with the titles won"! J.R.: "Yeah, they won the match the same way they won the titles.... by bending the damn rules! We'll see if that'll work at Anarchy Rulz but somethin;' tells me neither one of them is gonna be a champion when it's over"! OFF AIR......
