Rampage came to the most famed arena in the world and shockingly, it was the first time Rampage or PrimeTime had ever been filmed in MSG. There was no Uprising taping, so the action got started live on USA for the last tv show before King of the Ring.
THE SHOT OPENS UP LIVE INSIDE THE OFFICE OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN. HASSAN IS AT HIS DESK AND ON EITHER SIDE OF HIM IS MACKENZIE ROSE AND PSYCHOSIS. MARK HENRY ENTERS THE OFFICE. Muhammad Hassan: "Ah, the world's strongest man, congratulations on what you and Umaga did in that tag team match last week, maybe one day I can get to the point where I trust these two to do the same thing". HASSAN LOOKS AT ROSE, THEN PSYCHOSIS. Mark Henry: "Glad we could oblige, but I'm not ready to stop there. Travis Wakeman hasn't even begun to feel what I can do to him. He's got that World title, and I want it. I know Ted Dibiase put that bounty out, and I want to be the first one to step up and try to take it"! Hassan: "I like the sound of that.... I'll let Dibiase know. Then at King of the Ring, in the new six man tag team main event, you'll get your chance to collect". Henry: "Oh I plan on collecting more than that hundred thousand. At King of the Ring, I'm gonna break Wakeman in half...... and take that title". HASSAN CRACKS A BIG SMILE AS THE SHOT GOES INTO THE OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO, ACCOMPANIED BY "....TO BE LOVED" BY PAPA ROACH. THE ARENA IS THEN PUT ON SCREEN, JAM PACKED WITH FANS AS PYRO IS SHOT OFF IN ALL DIRECTIONS FROM THE STAGE. Jim Ross: "We are in the place simply known as the Garden..... the most well known arena in the world and, King, can you believe the show we have tonight"?! Lawler: "Four.... count 'em four, King of the Ring tournament matches plus, we just saw the world's strongest man step up and accept the bounty on the head of Travis Wakeman"! "WANNA KNOW" BY OBIE TRICE HITS AND OUT COMES MAX OGDEN WITH CANDICE TO AN INCREDIBLE CHEER. J.R.: "Well that is a developing situation to say the least but speaking of that tournament, here we go"! THE SPIRIT SQUAD's THEME HITS AND KENNY COMES OUT ALONG WITH THE TWF WOMEN's CHAMPION, ASHLEY K. Lawler: "And can you imagine what it would say for Kenny if he could knock the defending champion out of this tournament"! J.R.: "Oh it would be huge, no question about that! I see Kenny's coming out with that harlot, Ashley". Lawler: "What the heck is a harlot, J.R."? J.R.: "Would you like me to get more descriptive, King, maybe a little more vulgar? Nah, let's just call this match". King of the Ring 1st Round Max Ogden w/ Candice vs. Kenny w/ Ashley K. Two of the young guns on Rampage squared off here and Ogden came at Kenny with that street fighter style of his, really catching Kenny off guard. After pummelling him into the corner with rights to the head and body, Ogden got a running start and drove a knee into the side of his head. He hit the ropes and jumped onto Kenny with a senton bomb and made the cover but Kenny was up at 2. Candice really liked what she was seeing until Ashley came over and shoved her after some words. Candice responded with a slap and the fight was on. The two women were rolling around on the floor with each other while referee Jack Doan did his best to seperate them. In the ring, Kenny scored with a low blow followed by a jumping facebuster. He made the cover, hooking the leg, but Doan was a little slow to get in and make the count, allowing Ogden to kick out at 2. But Kenny was in control of the match while Ogden seemed hurt. The women had been pulled apart but after an incredible dropkick by Kenny, the rest of the Spirit Squad came out, asking Ashley what she was doing. Then, in a comical scene, she began getting pulled in four different directions while Candice just laughed. Ogden then rose to his feet, with a maniacal look in his eyes. Kenny turned around and Ogden rifled seven or eight right hands at him before shooting him to the ropes for a big backbody drop. Ogden was on fire and the rest of the Spirit Squad could see it. Mikey got on the apron and Ogden knocked him off. Mitch did the same but caught a kick to the face. Max dared Johnny and Nicky to try their hand, but they just backed off. Kenny got up and came from behind with a schoolboy but he could only get a 2 count. Ogden got up and threw a clothesline but Kenny ducked and kicked him in the stomach, hitting a swinging neckbreaker. From there, Kenny went to the top rope, possibly looking for his flying legdrop. But Ogden got up and punched him in the midsection before hitting the "Memory Maker" right off the top rope. Ogden made the cover as the fans counted with the referee, 1.......2........3! Match Time: 9:05 J.R.: "He's done it..... Max Ogden, the tournament tested Max Ogden, has won another one"! Lawler: "Can you imagine if this guy wins this thing again? We might have to name it after him"! "WANNA KNOW" PLAYED AGAIN AND OGDEN RECEIVED A CONGRATULATORY HUG FROM CANDICE AS THE FANS LOUDLY CHEERED. J.R.: "He's advanced to the final four of Rampage and will now face either Money Mike or Umaga next! So don't go anywhere folks because that match is coming up next"! COMMERCIAL BREAK...... A COMMERCIAL FOR CAPITOL ONE CREDIT CARDS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A USA PROGRAMMING AD. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE...... RAMPAGE RETURNS TO SHOW KRISTAL STANDING BY WITH TAYLOR MADE AND AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE YOUNG BLONDE GIRL. Kristal: "Taylor Made, we know you conducted a search for a brand new Taylorette and it looks like...... Taylor Made: "It looks like a found one? Yes, Kristal, I sure did. I'm sorry I didn't choose you, but here is the lucky girl I did choose..... Kelly. TAYLOR GRABS HER HAND AND SPINS HER AROUND. And trust me guys, she was the best choice for the job, she knows exactly what I need from her". KELLY FLASHES A SMILE AS THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING. UMAGA's MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD LOUDLY BOOS AS HE COMES OUT WITH ARMANDO ALEJANDRO ESTRADA, LOOKING READY FOR WAR. Lawler: "Wow, did you see that new Taylorette, J.R."?! J.R.: "A very attractive young woman indeed, but we have more serious business on the way here, King, here comes the Samoan Bulldozer". Lawler: "And does he look ready or what? Man, this guy is intimidating". THE BOOS CONTINUE WHEN "LET's GO" BY TRICK DADDY PLAYS, BRINGING MONEY MIKE OUT ALONG WITH STEPHANIE McMAHON. J.R.: "I don't know if this man has ever faced a challenge quite like this one"! Lawler: "These two guys were both heavy favorites to win this entire tournament, J.R., and after this match, one of them is gonna be gone"! J.R.: "Max Ogden awaits the winner and I bet he's sitting in his dressing room hoping these two just beat the living hell out of each other"! King of the Ring 1st Round Umaga w/ Armando Alejandro Estrada vs. Money Mike w/ Stephanie McMahon The bell sounded and Money Mike walked up to an intense Umaga, looking to distract him with some small talk. He then looked out towards the crowd before throwing a right hand, hoping to catch him off guard. But Umaga blocked the cheap shot attempt and gave Mike a thrust to the throat followed by a heavy clothesline. Umaga then loaded up his thumb, looking for the Samoan Spike but Mike saw it coming and rolled out of the ring. After talking things over with Steph, Mike got up to the apron and drove a shoulder into the gut of Umaga. He then tried to bring himself into the ring with a sunset flip but he couldn't turn the 400 pound Samoan over and Umaga sat straight down on Mike's face! He then got up and pulled Mike to the middle of the ring before coming off the middle turnbuckle with a diving headbutt. Mike was in a lot of trouble as Umaga picked him up and shot him to the corner, charging in with a head of steam. But Mike was able to move out of the way just in time before rolling Umaga up and with all the momentum he had, he got the 3 count! Match Time: 3:53 UMAGA AND ESTRADA COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED BUT MIKE AND STEPH LEFT IN A HURRY AS "LET's GO" PLAYED. Lawler: "Did he get the three count"?! J.R.: "Referee Scott Martin says yes, Mike and Stephanie aren't waiting around for him to change his mind either"! Lawler: "Umaga has been knocked out of the tournament but I wouldn't want to be the guy who has to face him next"! J.R.: "And what a blockbuster matchup that sets up in the next round! Money Mike will take on Max Ogden"! BACKSTAGE....... CAMERAS SHOW BATISTA ENTER THE OFFICE OF MUHAMMAD HASSAN. Batista: "You wanted to see me"? Muhammad Hassan: "Oh yes, I sure did. I wanted to inform you that I have given you the night off". Batista: "The night off? I didn't want the night off". Hassan: "Well I have decided to make a match between Mark Henry and Travis Wakeman and in that match, Wakeman must wear a blindfold. I don't want you sticking your nose into it, so my associates, Mackenzie Rose and Psychosis will show you to the door". Batista: "A blindfold? You can't do this Hassan. You want the Board of Directors involved"? Hassan: "Make all the threats you want. The match is on and your night is over. Get him out of my office". ROSE AND PSYCHOSIS COME UP, EACH HOLDING WHAT APPEAR TO BE CROWBARS. BATISTA BEGRUDGINGLY TURNS AND LEAVES. THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC PLAYS AND THEY COME OUT TOGETHER TO A HUGE POP, ONE OF THE NIGHT's LOUDEST. J.R.: "How the hell can he do that?! Wakeman's gotta wear a damn blindfold tonight against the world's strongest man! That's a bunch of bull"! Lawler: "Well we knew we would have to deal with things like this with Hassan, J.R., I really feel for our World champion tonight". "COME ON" BY WATERPROOF BLONDE PLAYS AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS COME OUT TO PLENTY OF BOOS. THEY ARE CARRYING THEIR BLACK STAFFS AND THE TWF TAG TEAM TITLES ARE AROUND THEIR WAIST. J.R.: "Well it was last week on Rampage where we saw these two men cost the Hardy Boyz the Rampage tag team titles for the second time in a matter of months"! Lawler: "Yeah but then the Hardy's went over to the second rate show, PrimeTime, where these Blood Brothers are from and Matt handed Dustin Kash a defeat"! J.R.: "And now the Blood Brothers have been invited to Rampage as Sean O'Haire gets set to face Jeff Hardy before these two teams go at it in an interpromotional match at King of the Ring"! Jeff Hardy w/ Matt Hardy vs. Sean O'Haire w/ Dustin Kash O'Haire, the much bigger of the two, started the match off on the offensive after knocking Jeff down with a back elbow to the face as he came off the ropes. After a big powerslam, O'Haire sat Jeff up and with a running start, kicked him as hard as he could in the chest. The pain was etched on the face of Jeff as O'Haire picked him up and whipped him to the ropes. But Jeff ducked a clothesline and came back with a nice front dropkick. Jeff then went for a Twist of Fate but O'Haire escaped and took him out with a footsweep. O'Haire then reverted to his martial arts prowess to take it to Jeff and after a stiff roundhouse kick to the head, he went to the outside of the ring, looking to give Jeff a taste of his own medicine. O'Haire went to the top rope, looking for the move many credit Jeff for inventing, the one he calls the Sean-Ton Bomb. But when he came off, Jeff rolled out of the way and O'Haire crashed into the mat. Jeff hit a flipping legdrop before grabbing his legs and dropping both of his own in the midsection of O'Haire. Jeff was rolling as he went to take out Kash with a baseball slide but Kash moved out of the way and threw a clothesline. Jeff ducked and pushed Kash into Matt who had come over to the that side of the ring and Matt dropped him with a right hand. But referee Jose Mendez ordered Matt back to the other side of the ring as Jeff went to the top rope, looking to show O'Haire how it's done. But with Mendez's back to him, Kash grabbed one of the staffs and smacked Jeff across the back with it. Jeff flipped off the top rope and landed hard on the mat. All O'Haire had to do was pick up the pieces, which he did by delivering the "Widowmaker" and covering Jeff for the 1........2.......3. Match Time: 10:57 J.R.: "Ah damnit...... these two jerks just stole one"! Lawler: "Well it's one to one now, J.R., after each team got a win this week on the other's show"! "COME ON" PLAYED AGAIN AND THE BLOOD BROTHERS LEFT TO A LOT OF BOOS, HOLDING THEIR TAG TEAM TITLES UP. IN THE RING, MATT CHECKED ON JEFF WHO WAS HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD. J.R.: "It's one to one, but if you ask me, the Hardy Boyz would be the Rampage tag team champions and I feel they owe one to the Blood Brothers"! COMMERCIAL BREAK........ COMMERCIALS FOR PLAYSTATION 3 AND PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.... ON DVD DECEMBER 5th ARE SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK..... A HIGHLIGHT PACKAGE IS SHOWN, SPOTLIGHTING ONE FRESH NEW WRESTLER KNOWN AS LENNY ARMSTEAD. THE VIDEO ENDS WITH THE WORDS........ LENNY ARMSTEAD... CHANGING THE FACE OF THE TWF...... BACKSTAGE AREA....... BACK TO LIVE ACTION, ROB VAN DAM AND BILL ALPHONSO ARE IN THE BACK TALKING WHEN PAUL HEYMAN COMES UP WITH 911. Paul Heyman: "Well, well, well, if it isn't RVD and the most pathetic man ever to step foot in this industry, Bill Alphonso. You two remember 911 don't you? I know you got a nice re-introduction to him last week. But tonight is a new night and we are in the best arena in the world, the granddaddy of them all, Madison Square Garden. So..... RVD: "Look Paul....... Heyman: "No, you look Rob, at King of the Ring, Joe Corey will show you a new meaning of extreme. Ya know, the same thing you have based your entire career on! Something you would never be able to say if it weren't for me and ECW! That is why we will stop at nothing to make sure you don't get anywhere near that ECW title". RVD: "That's good, that's great Paul. You do that. But trust me, I'll be ready and I'll have the backup I need to take care of you, 911 and anyone else you decide to come to King of the Ring with. We'll see you in the ring". RVD AND ALPHONSO WALK AWAY AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. IN THE RING, SYLVESTER TERKAY IS SHOWN SHADOWBOXING WHILE HIS MUSIC PLAYS. "THE NEXT EPISODE" BY DR. DRE HITS AND MATT CRUZ EMERGES FROM THE BACK TO MOSTLY BOOS. J.R.: "We're back on Rampage and later tonight you will see Paul Heyman actually get into the ring as a competitor against Bill Alphonso but right now, we have our third of four King of the Ring matches tonight". Lawler: "I can't wait to see those two idiots Heyman and Alphonso tear each other apart, but this match here is gonna be great for much different reasons"! J.R.: "Arguably two of the best amatuer wrestlers of all time! Both men in this match have won NCAA amatuer wrestling titles and to my knowledge, that might be the first time we've ever had such a match in TWF history"! Lawler: "They both excelled in the amatuer world, J.R., but they've adapted to the style of the TWF in much different ways, this one's gonna be interesting to say the least"! King of the Ring 1st Round Sylvester Terkay vs. Matt "Madik" Cruz As expected, this was a great match between two highly skilled superstars. From the opening bell, it looked like an amatuer match with both men trading holds and near falls while mostly on the mat. Terkay was able to roll Cruz from a waistlock on the mat into a cover and he nearly got the pin. But Cruz worked his way up and with the waistlock still on, he dropped to one knee before flipping Terkay over his body. Cruz then locked in a front facelock, looking to wear the man from Big Bear, California down. If it were an amatuer match, it would've been very close on points but Terkay, who won a national title in 1993 while at N.C. State, caught Cruz with a palm strike before transitioning into his MMA style which Cruz seemed to have a lot of trouble with. Terkay blasted him in the head before whipping him with a kick to the body. He then rocked him with another right that knocked him into the corner. But when he ran in at him, Cruz used a drop toehold before jumping behind Terkay and putting him in a chickenwing. Terkay was in trouble but he was able to stretch a foot to the ropes to break the hold. Cruz pulled him up and went for a belly to belly but Terkay blocked it and came back with one of his own. He then put Cruz in one of his many submission holds, the buffalo sleeper. Cruz was fading fast in the hold but he was somehow able to seperate the feet of Terkay and work his way out of it. Both men were up but Cruz blocked a right hand and caught Terkay with a forearm followed by 2 european uppercuts. He then hit the ropes and ran over Terkay with a clothesline. Cruz was feeling it as he hit a belly to belly suplex of his own. But when he moved in to follow up, Terkay pushed him away. Cruz came back at him but Terkay turned and fired a right hand that just knocked Cruz clean out. He fell to the mat and was out as Terkay made the cover, getting the 3 count and the win. Match Time: 9:38 J.R.: "What a right hand from Terkay"! Lawler: "Did you see that?! Matt Cruz fell down like he'd been shot"! TERKAY WALKED NONCHALANTLY UP THE RAMP AS HIS MUSIC PLAYED. J.R.: "Terkay wears those padded gloves and you have to wonder, after a shot like that, if those damn things were loaded"! Lawler: "They were loaded, with a fist"! BACKSTAGE..... HASSAN's OFFICE....... TATANKA COMES INTO HASSAN's OFFICE. PSYCHOSIS IS MOPPING THE FLOOR. Tatanka: "I just have one request". Hassan: "Sure, go ahead". Tatanka: "That my match with Shelton Benjamin at King of the Ring for the Million Dollar title be no holds barred". MACKENZIE ROSE ENTERS THE OFFICE WITH A CUP OF COFFEE AND HANDS IT TO HASSAN. Hassan: "And you even remember how I like it. You're getting better. See, maybe you do have calling in this business Mr. Rose. But yes, I see what you're saying Tatanka and you know how I feel about Shelton Benjamin and people like him..... so you have the match". Tatanka: "Thank you". TATANKA WALKS OUT OF THE OFFICE AND THE SCENE IS SENT BACK TO THE RING. "MISTERRRRRRRRRR KENNEDY........ IS HEARD AND KEN KENNEDY STEPS OUT WITH PLENTY OF CONFIDENCE AND TO PLENTY OF BOOS. J.R.: "What an unbiased GM we have here on Rampage, huh? What the hell did Shelton Benjamin ever do to him"? Lawler: "I don't know, but I can't wait until he oversteps his boundaries and the Board of Directors get involved"! "SUPERSTAR" BY SALIVA COMES ON AND JASON OLIVER COMES OUT WITH THE LOVELY STACY SNOW TO A LOT OF CHEERS. J.R.: "One spot remains in the next round of the King of the Ring tournament and it will go to one of these two guys"! Lawler: "We all remember the great run Jason Oliver had last year, but you have to admit that King Kennedy has a great ring to it"! J.R.: "Can you imagine having to listen to him announce that every time he came out here"? King of the Ring 1st Round Ken Kennedy vs. Jason Oliver w/ Stacy Snow Kennedy and Oliver stared across the ring from one another as the bell sounded to start the match. They then circled each other before locking up. Oliver was able to get the best of it, pushing Kennedy to the mat. Kennedy got up, complaining to referee Jim Korderas that he'd had his hair pulled. Stacy guided the crowd in starting a "Jason" chant and he moved in on Kennedy again. Kennedy did all he could to stop his momentum, ducking his head underneath the ring ropes. Oliver backed off and Kennedy stuck a thumb in his eye. He then went for an irish whip but Oliver reversed it and caught him with a big hip toss. From there, he hit Kennedy with a big clothesline before shooting him to the corner. Oliver followed in but Kennedy stuck a foot in his face before drilling him with a clothesline of his own. Kennedy then got up and put the boots to Oliver, stomping on his head and chest. Kennedy then pulled him up and rammed him face first into the top turnbuckle. The crowd was beginning to get restless as Kennedy looked at Stacy and yelled "What are you gonna do to help your boyfriend"? But when Kennedy turned back around, Oliver was waiting with a right hand to the gut followed by a perfect snap suplex. Oliver then grabbed the legs of Kennedy, looking for the Sharpshooter. But Kennedy had the move scouted and was able to use his feet to kick Oliver away. But Oliver was able to catch him with a swinging neckbreaker before going to the turnbuckle. He climbed to the top but before he could come off, Kennedy was up, meeting him with a right hand. Kennedy then climbed up with Oliver and got him up onto his shoulders, trying to set up the "Lambeau Leap". But Oliver elbowed Kennedy in the side of his head and was able to get off his shoulders. Then, before falling off the turnbuckle, he used a superplex. But when they hit the mat, Kennedy was able to grapevine the feet of Oliver into a pinning combination and Kennedy was alert enough to get his own right shoulder off the mat as Korderas made the 3 count. Match Time: 7:17 Lawler: "What the heck happened"?! J.R.: "I don't know, it looks like they both were pinned to me"! SUDDENLY "MISTERRRRRRRRR KENNEDY" HITS AND KORDERAS RAISES KENNEDY's ARM AS OLIVER POUNDS THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION. Lawler: "He's given it to Mr. Kennedy"! KENNEDY LEAVES THE RING AS OLIVER HASTILY LOOKS ON. J.R.: "A tough break for Oliver indeed but Kennedy has won the match and will advance to the next round to face Terkay"! Lawler: "And we still have Mark Henry against a blindfolded Travis Wakeman"! J.R.: "I just pray that someone does something to stop that match from happening.... we'll be right back"! COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR BUDWEISER IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR MERCEDES-BENZ. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE..... WHEN RAMPAGE RETURNS, ROB STORM IS IN THE RING WITH THE KING OF CABLE TITLE OVER HIS SHOULDER. J.R.: "We're back on Rampage fans but I'm not sure what's going on, Rob Storm has come out to the ring and I don't have this listed on my schedule, King". Lawler: "Well I've just been told in my headset that Muhammad Hassan has given him this time, go figure".
Rob Storm: "Ladies and gentleman, I am your NEW King of Cable champion. I have only one person to thank, a true gentleman who put my views aside and gave me a shot because i deserved it. Muahmmad Hassan, a man who fights for what he believes in. A man who believes in free speech and the right to express yourself. A truly great man who I aspire to be like. Of course, this is unlike your "fearless" leader. George Dubya Bush. A man who has attacked countries for years without probable cause all for imperalist gains. He claims that North Korea, Iran and Iraq were the Axis of Evil. Well, why are they evil? They don't tell you how to run your own country--Why are you allowed to object to what they do? Bush is Hitler, why dont you ignorant Americans understand that? Hitler attacked the Sudetenland--Bush attacked Afghanistan. Hitler attacked Czechslovakia-Bush attacked Iraq. Hitler attacked Poland- Bush wants to attack North Korea. Don't you see that because of this Dictator we are going to be in a war very soon. You Americans don't even care though, hell you even support him. You re-elected this dictator even after your gas prices went up, and you earned less money. Amazing how stupid you Americans are. And of course, we are in Madison Square Garden-- The Big apple--New York. One of the stupidest states in America! Your state government has a supposed presidential canddidate named George Pataki. Haven't you people read the news? Pataki is a corrupt leader who takes bribes. As well, you elected a leader that wants to Reinstate the draft named Charles Rangel. This man wants people to understand what war does, but you Americans don't care. As long as you don't have to actually do the fighting, you don't care if your country bullies every other country that is different from it. However, your whole state is up in arms that an unarmed person was killed by cops. Did you ever think that this person was DOING something that was AGAINST the Law? That the police are DOING THEIR JOBS! You get so outraged when one of your own is killed and it is justified, yet you act all happy giddy when EVERY SINGLE DAY your country kills multiple innocents in Iraq, who are just defending their country from invaders--like the Nazis. As well, most people that are killed in Iraq are UNARMED and harmless yet no one gives a crap when anything like that happens! You all have numerous problems and you need to be stopped. That is what I plan on doing here on Rampage with my newly won King of Cable title. I will stand for equal rights, and spread my word of leaving others alone. Since I am the King of Cable champ, that means I get to speak to you Americans each and every week because I have the power because I am truly the King of Cable! I am a Canadian hero and pretty soon when your country finally gets some sense knocked into you, I will be an American hero like Paul Revere as well. I will liberate the world from the tyranny of America. Muhammad Hassan and I are the only ones who understand that these problems in America need to be solved, and we feel so strongly about it that we are making it our personal call to rid the world of the idiots who disagree with us. I will say goodbye to everyone watching me speak now, but remember that this isn't the last you will see of me. I promise, to stand up for what I believe is right regardless of what happens. I will not be quieted, I will not be slighted. I will prove to you all that what I speak is the TRUTH. MY name is Rob Storm, and I am the King of Cable champion. Thanks to Muhammad Hassan, a new era has begun here in the TWF, and NOTHING...... I mean NOTHHHHING will stop us from spreading our word"! THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM PLAYS AND STORM LEAVES THE RING TO SOME SERIOUS HEAT, BUT HE HOLDS THE TITLE UP PROUDLY ANYWAY. J.R.: "Well I'd like to point out that the views expressed here by Rob Storm are not supported by everyone in the TWF, that was disgusting"! Lawler: "It's because of this great country that he gets to come out here and talk like that! What a moron"!
“The Show” Joe Corey is shown on the video screen from an undisclosed location.
Joe Corey: "Well hello there Rampage, it’s everyone’s favorite wrestler, (pointing at himself like Rob Van Dam) Joe Corey. Sorry I haven’t been around for the last two weeks, but I have been busy looking for more people to add to the brigade. But I wanted to at least speak to you all here via satellite this week to let all of my fans know, and you too Rob, that I will be at the King of the Ring, and I will be taking possession of my ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
The crowd boos
You see, for years now, I have been kept from realizing my full potential in this company. I have been here for over three years now, and I have received one shot at a World Championship. And even then, the one chance I got, I was screwed out of the title and never given a chance to show that I was the better man. And even after recovering from my injury and rising to a level even higher than I was before, I have yet to be given another chance at a title. Well, that all ends at the King of the Ring, when thanks to Paul Heyman, I am going to be given a chance to win a title that I had wanted to hold for so long, but thought I would never be able to hold. It is no secret by now that when I was wrestling in Europe and Japan, I longed to be the ECW World Champion. Now, once I beat Rob Van Dam, I will have that championship in my possession, and if anyone thinks that this is all just for show, just wait and see what happens when I bring the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and maybe even the start of this brigade, to Rampage next week. I’ll see all of you, and you too RVD, this Sunday at the King of the Ring. PARKING GARAGE...... A WHITE LIMOSINE PULLS UP AND COMES TO A STOP. EDGE AND RANDY ORTON FROM PRIMETIME STEP OUT TO IMMEDIATE BOOS FROM INSIDE THE ARENA. THEY START TO WALK TOWARDS THE BUILDING AS A SECURITY GUARD STEPS UP. Security Guard: "Excuse me boys, this is....... Randy Orton: "Look man, chill out, we have authorization to be here". Edge: "Don't you know who we are fatass? I'm Edge, he's Randy Orton, the top two superstars in the entire TWF! Not to mention, we are invited guests of Muhammad Hassan, now step aside chump"! ORTON PUSHES THE GUARD ASIDE AND THEY ENTER THE ARENA AS THE SHOT GOES BACK TO THE RING. Paul Heyman w/ 911 vs. Bill Alphonso w/ Rob Van Dam This wasn't much of a match, as neither man really knew a single wrestling hold, instead throwing haymakers at each other. But after tripping Heyman up, Alphonso hit the ropes, only to have 911 grab his foot and knock him down. RVD came over with a steel chair and tossed it to the big man, taking him out with the VanDaminator. In the ring, Alphonso was able to roll Heyman up and he grabbed the ring rope for added leverage as referee Jose Mendez made the 3 count. With possession of the ECW World title on the line at King of the Ring, RVD and Fonzie dealt of a bit of a blow to Heyman and his brigade here. Match Time: 2:13 COMMERCIAL BREAK....... A COMMERCIAL FOR THE GILLETTE FUSION RAZOR IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR VERIZON WIRELESS. RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE....... RIGHT AS RAMPAGE RETURNS, "SOMEBODY's GONNA GET IT" BY THREE SIX MAFIA HITS AND MARK HENRY COMES OUT TO PLENTY OF HEAT. J.R.: "We welcome you back to TWF Rampage where we are ready for our main event and I still can't get over how incredibly absurd this match is"! Lawler: "And look at Mark Henry licking his lips like a lion going in after his prey". J.R.: "Henry was the first man to jump on the one hundred thousand dollar bounty Ted Dibiase laid down on our very own World champion, and our general manager Muhammad Hassan booked this match which somebody needs to do something about". THE FANS LOUDLY POP AS "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AND MELINA COMES OUT WITH TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND NEITHER LOOKS VERY HAPPY. Lawler: "I don't think Melina's gonna want to see this"! J.R.: "For those of you just tuning in, this is a non-title match. But Travis Wakeman will have to wear a blindfold and be in the ring with the four hundred plus pound world's strongest man! Why don't you just give Henry a baseball bat and a crowbar while you're at it"! Non-Title Match Mark Henry vs. World champion Travis Wakeman w/ Melina * Wakeman must be blindfolded Referee Chad Patton handed Wakeman the blindfold, which was more like a black hood and Wakeman quickly put it on. He stuck his hands out in front of him, hoping to have them guide him. But like a shark in water, Henry moved in on him with a vicious club to the head. After standing on the chest of the World champ, Henry squashed him with a big splash. Wakeman was in a world of trouble as Henry, unsatisfied by the damage he'd already done, whipped Wakeman into the corner and crushed him with an avalanche before lifting him over his head for a military press slam. Melina repeatedly yelled "Stop" but Henry paid her no attention, brutalizing Wakeman. But after a powerslam, Henry looked into the crowd and taunted them, drawing some major boos. But Wakeman got up and ripped the blindfold off before angrily charging Henry, hammering him with a succession of right hands followed by a stiff running kick right to the face! But just then, Edge and Orton hit the ring and Patton called for the bell, throwing the match out. With the 3 on 1 odds, Wakeman had no chance. Edge drilled him with a spear and Orton waited for him to get up, hitting the "RKO" on him. But Henry yelled "I need a table". So Orton and Edge went out and found one under the ring, sliding it in. Henry set it up and put Wakeman onto it before going to the middle ring rope. Edge held Wakeman down by the arms while Orton did the same by his feet. Henry then leaped off, crashing through Wakeman and the table with a big splash. Boos rang through MSG as "Somebody's Gonna Get it" played again and the trio of Orton, Edge and Henry stood in the ring, arms raised. J.R.: "I can't believe this! We have just witnessed the destruction of our World champion! Wakeman's been decimated, King"! Lawler: "And take a good look at those three men because if any of them, doesn't matter which one, pins Wakeman or makes him submit at the King of the Ring, they are the new TWF World champion"! THE CAMERA GOT A CLOSEUP OF WAKEMAN WHO LAID ON THE BROKEN TABLE, PIECES OF CRACKED WOOD ALL AROUND HIM. A CONCERNED MELINA CHECKED ON HIM AS THE SHOT FADED OUT. OFF AIR..........
