Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Attendance: 14,289
July 29, 2009
Over 14,000 faithful fans crammed into the Mellon Arena to witness what was sure to be one of the biggest shows of 2009. The show got started with a stocked edition of Uprising, which is now streaming live on TWF.com!
Rampage: Mike Knox vs. Rob Van Dam Not knowing what their TWF futures may hold once the draft begins, Mike Knox and RVD made their potential final night on the Rampage division a hard fought one. RVD did all he could against the much bigger Knox, who took everything Van Dam could dish out. After catching Knox with a step over heel kick, RVD went for the Rolling Thunder but Knox got his knees up. He then went for some sort of sidewinder slam but RVD countered right into a very nice DDT. He quickly hopped up to the top rope and flew off with his flying martial arts kick, aimed at Knox's chest. But Knox stepped out of the way and caught RVD with a nasty kick to the side of the head. RVD stumbled up to his feet, but Knox wrapped his right arm around his head and drove him into the mat with his reverse STO takedown which led to a pretty big upset as Knox picked up the win. SlaughterHouse: Elix Skipper vs. Homicide Two awesome athletes represented SlaughterHouse on Uprising, and they took each others best. The match was contested on the mat for a while, with Skipper using a series of arm drags and a dropkick to get the best of Homicide. After missing a big leg drop from the second rope, Elix was on the receiving end of a clothesline over the top rope. Homicide went up and over the top rope with a body press, which got the fans all pumped up. Homicide rolled Skipper back into the ring, and went up top. He came off looking for a flying clothesline but he ate a spinning heel kick to the face on the way down. Skipper missed a clothesline and Homicide dropped him with a DDT, but it wasn’t enough. Homicide was looking for Da Gringo Killa, but it was Skipper with a backslide that got him a quick three count. Rampage: #1 Contender for Women's Title Kelly vs. Melina On the last edition of Rampage, these two lovely ladies were the final competitors in a battle royal that would've decided the next challenger for the Women's title. But the current champion, Monica, decided to attack both women before that could be determined. In this match, Melina was definitely the aggressor, assuming ahe could overpower the less experienced Kelly. Melina used a suplex and a spinning heel kick to batter Kelly, but Kelly was able to escape Melina's finishing hold where she drives her opponent down with a leg across the chest. Kelly got up and delivered back to back clotheslines but after whipping Melina to the corner, she ran into a big foot as she charged in. Melina got up to the middle turnbuckle and flew off with a crossbody, but Kelly hit the mat to avoid it. She then used her opponent's back to jump off of, coming down with a legdrop against the back of the head which drove Melina's face into the mat. Kelly rolled her over and covered her, hooking the leg for a surprising win! Kelly is now the number one contender for the Women's title. PrimeTime: Ken Doane and Super Crazy vs. Shane Thompson and Doink the Clown Before this match got started, Ken Doane and Super Crazy came to the ring with the reigning TWF Lightheavyweight champion, Doane, announcing they had just acquired 2 new members to the Doane-Ation...... Thompson and Doink. But it was apparently a ruse as Thompson quickly announced that he and Doink had only led them to believe that, before they each dropped one of their opponents with a right hand. But despite the quick start for Thompson and the clown, this was a very competitive match. Shane Thompson and Ken Doane had a riveting series in the ring that saw a few great exchanges, leaving both men spent and tags were made on either side of the ring. Super Crazy was able to beat Doink to the punch, knocking him down with a dropkick and after a flying wheel kick, he went for the cover and looked to have the match won until Thompson came into the ring. Doane got back into the match and he and Thompson went at it as the referee tried to get them back out. As this went on, Doink pulled something out of his boot and hit Super Crazy right in the face with it. He then went to the top rope and flew off with the "Whoopie Cushion", landing square on the chest of Super Crazy. Thompson was then able to hold off Doane as the referee issued a 3 count. DOANE AND SUPER CRAZY WERE LEFT TO LICK THEIR WOUNDS, BOTH PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, AFTER APPARENTLY BEING DUPED BY THOMPSON AND DOINK. FANS IN THE ARENA GOT THEMSELVES READY AS THE 2009 TWF DRAFT LOGO LOWERED FROM THE RAFTERS, HANGING PROMINENTLY ABOVE THE RING. MAIN EVENT GOES LIVE
THE SUPERSTAR-LADEN OPENING MONTAGE VIDEO FOR MAIN EVENT ROLLS WHILE "DEAD MAN WALKING" BY BLOODSIMPLE PLAYS. THE SHOT THEN OPENS INSIDE THE MELLON ARENA, SHOWING THE NEARLY SOLD OUT SEATS AS FANS WAVE THEIR HANDS AND THEIR SIGNS. THE RING HAS THE 2009 TWF DRAFT LOGO STAMPED IN THE CENTER OF THE MAT AND AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF PYRO STARTS THINGS OFF. JOEY STYLES AND JERRY LAWLER ARE THEN SHOWN SEATED AT THE BROADCAST TABLE NEAR RINGSIDE. Joey Styles: "Welcome to a very special edition of TWF Main Event, live here in Pittsburgh and we are on prime time network television! This is the 2009 TWF draft special and joining me tonight is the legendary Jerry "The King" Lawler". Jerry Lawler: "I gotta say I'm excited to be out here, Joey, but up until about one hour ago.... we didn't even know we were calling this show". Styles: "All of tonight's draft picks will be selected at random, so staying with that theme, tonight's broadcast team was selected at random and here we are, King". Lawler: "Well in addition to all of the superstars who will switch to the division of the superstar or superstars who win a match, each division is guaranteed two draft picks, which will be made later in the show"! BOOS FILL THE MELLON ARENA WHEN "METALINGUS" BY ALTER BRIDGE COMES ON AND EDGE STEPS OUT FROM THE BACK. Styles: "It promises to be one of the most exciting nights in the history of the TWF..... but look what we're starting off with"! Lawler: "It's a WrestleMania rematch and a main event anywhere in the world and here comes Edge"! Styles: "Edge has been telling anyone who will listen that Jordan Rockwell's victory over him at WrestleMania was a fluke..... this is his chance to prove that". Lawler: "Well he wasn't Universal champion for nearly two years for nothin'"! "SAVE ME" BY BURN HALO COMES ON AND JORDAN ROCKWELL IS GREETED BY A MASSIVE POP AS HE MAKES HIS WAY TO THE RING WITH THE UNIVERSAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Styles: "It was this man, the Franchise, who was able to finally get that title away from Edge, but Edge chose tonight, right here in Pittsburgh, as the time he wanted to use his rematch clause". Lawler: "And he's lucky to have gotten that in, because rumors have been making the rounds that the championship committee is not going to include rematch clauses in all contracts in the future". TWF Universal Title Match Challenger: Edge vs. Jordan Rockwell Charles Robinson was in charge of this match and after holding the title up for all to see, he handed it to the timekeeper and the bell sounded to start the match. Edge took a collar and elbow tie into a standing waistlock and he slapped Rockwell in the back of the head. Rockwell shook it off and they locked up again, but Edge went right back to the standing switch and paintbrushed the back of his head a second time. Edge began to do some jumping jacks, but Rockwell rushed him, surprising him with a fierce attack of punches to the body before knocking him out of the ring with a clothesline. Edge tried to regroup outside the ring but as he tried to get back in, Rockwell came to the foot of the ring and Edge grabbed both his feet, tripping him up. He then lifted up his left leg and pulled the knee down right across the ring apron. He performed this a second time before getting back into the ring and dropping a big legdrop right across Rockwell's throat. He went for a cover, but only got a 1 count. Rockwell was able to get to his feet, but Edge went right after the knee, stomping at it and then taking Rockwell down with a sweeping kick to the back of the left knee. Edge then pulled him to the center of the ring and looked to set up a Sharpshooter of all things. This drew a slight cheer from some of those in attendance, but Rockwell was able to push through it before he could turn him over. Edge ran right back at him, kicking at the left leg, which was becoming a huge hinderance to the champion. Edge went for the Sharpshooter a second time and this time, he turned it over and locked it in deep. Rockwell was in trouble in the painful hold made famous by the Hart Family. But a chant of "Franchise" started up and Rockwell was able to move his way towards the ring ropes. Finally, he stretched his right arm out and grabbed the bottom rope. Edge waited for Robinson to get to a count of 4 before releasing the hold. In complete control of the match, Edge allowed Rockwell to get to one knee before popping him with 3 hard right hands. He then ran the ropes but Rockwell got up and smashed him with a clothesline. A breath of life was in the champion as both men were down. Edge got to his feet first and threw a right hand but Rockwell blocked it and countered with a kick. He then hit the "Extreme Measures" out of nowhere and the crowd went nuts. But, spent physically from the onslaught from Edge, Rockwell could not make an immediate cover. Slowly, he crawled over to the challenger and draped an arm over his chest. 1...........2............, but Edge got a shoulder up. But the tide of the match had completely turned and now Rockwell could smell blood. Just then, Doink the Clown made his way down to the ring carrying a gift wrapped box. He climbed up on the apron and handed the box to Robinson but as this was going on, Shane Thompson came out of the crowd and swiped the Universal title belt off the timekeeper's table. He got into the ring with it but Rockwell saw him and took him out with a stiff right hand. Rockwell then used his right foot to push Thompson under the bottom rope but when he turned around, BANG!, Edge ran over him with the spear and covered him, hooking the leg as Robinson dropped down to issue the 1.............2.........................3! Match Time: 8:09 "METALINGUS" PLAYED AGAIN AND EDGE ASKED FOR HIS BELT, ALMOST IN A STATE OF INSANITY. ROBINSON RECOVERED THE BELT AND HANDED IT TO THE RATED R SUPERSTAR, RAISING HIS HAND AS THE BOOS WERE ALMOST LOUDER THAN HIS MUSIC. Styles: "I do not believe what we are seeing here! A new champion has been crowned here at the Main Event and Edge has gotten his title back"! Lawler: "Hmmm.... maybe the first time was a fluke"! SHANE THOMPSON HAD A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE AS HE LEFT THE RING AREA WITH DOINK. ROCKWELL WAS SHOWN HOLDING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD, STARING A HOLE THROUGH THOMPSON. Styles: "How can you make that assessment without mentioning the fact that it took three men to do this, King"? Lawler: "Well I pay attention to PrimeTime, I know what's goin' on and I know that Shane Thompson had his sights set on this very match"! Styles: "It's a well known fact that Shane Thompson lost a match to Rockwell years ago that contained a stipulation that he could never be the Universal champion as long as that champion is Rockwell! He took matters into his own hands tonight"! Lawler: "What a start but don't forget..... we still have the draft tonight, which hasn't even started"! COMMERCIAL BREAK................ A COMMERCIAL PROMOTING THE "CASH FOR CLUNKERS" PROGRAM IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "THE COLLECTOR". RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS FROM BREAK, LENA YADA IS IN THE BACK WITH THE NEW UNIVERSAL CHAMPION, EDGE. Lena Yada: "We're back here on Main Event and with me now is.......... Edge: "Yes!!!!! I told you and I told you and you and you and you (pointing around to people who probably aren't even there) that I would prove Rockwell's win at WrestleMania was a fluke! This is my vindication"! WITH A PSYCHOTIC LOOK IN HIS EYES, EDGE LOOKS DOWN AT THE UNIVERSAL TITLE WHICH HE HOLDS IN BOTH HANDS. Lena Yada: "What do you plan to do for the rest of the evening? We still have the draft to get through, are you interested in that at all"? EDGE, BREATHING HEAVY AND SMILING, JUST WALKS AWAY BEFORE THE SHOT IS SENT BACK TO THE RING. "IN THE SHADOWS" BY THE RASMUS COMES ON AND JADEN CORE MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A GOOD CHEER. Styles: "I don't know if we could've found a bigger way to start this show, but it's now time for our first match in the 2009 TWF Draft and this should be a good one, but pardon me if I show any favoritism here". "BOOYAKA 619" BY POD BLASTS OVER THE LOUDSPEAKERS AND REY MYSTERIO HEADS OUT TO THE RING, GETTING UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL WITH A FEW YOUNG FANS HE NOTICES WEARING MASKS LIKE HIS. Lawler: "Well I'll tell ya, Jaden Core is a fairly new superstar on Rampage but the similarities between he and Mysterio are pretty evident. I mean, I could see fans coming to shows wearing Jaden Core masks someday"! Styles: "SlaughterHouse is of course the third brand in the TWF and often gets referred to as the red headed stepchild, but a win here for Mysterio might be the jumpstart we need to clean up here tonight"! 2009 TWF Draft- Rampage vs. SlaughterHouse Jaden Core vs. Rey Mysterio This may have been the fastest paced match in the history of the TWF. Neither one of these guys slowed down for a second and the match started with Core performing a flying headscissor. Mysterio avoided a Buzzsaw kick and tripped Core up before landing a low dropkick. Mysterio made the cover but only got a 1 count. Core got up but Mysterio scored with a hip toss before drilling Core with his own Buzzsaw kick. Mysterio made the cover but only got a 2 count. Both men got to their feet and Mysterio went for an irish whip but Core reversed it and threw a clothesline. Mysterio ducked and went for a springboard reverse crossbody but Core amazingly pulled him down onto both of his knees. With Mysterio down, Core went to the outside of the ring and quickly got to the top rope. But before he could take flight, Mysterio fell into the ring ropes, knocking him to a crotched position. From there, Rey climbed up to the top rope himself and brought Core off with a perfect frankensteiner. Mysterio rolled Core over as the crowd cheered and he covered him for the 1.............2............., but Core got a shoulder up. Rey used a drop toehold to position Core over the middle ring rope and the fans knew what was coming next. He smashed Core with the 6....1......9 before going to the apron on the outside of the ring. Mysterio hopped up to the top rope and flew in with a sunset flip, pulling Core down. But Core nicely rolled through it and was able to stack Rey up on his shoulders as referee Jose Mendez registered a quick 3 count! Match Time: 5:38 Styles: "Whoa..... what happened"?! Lawler: "I think he got him..... he did.... he got him! Rampage has earned the first pick of the draft"! Styles: "A terrific match here but it was Jaden Core who pulls off a big upset, at least in my mind". Lawler: "Well let's see who it's gonna be"! ON THE TWF TRON, GRAPHICS OF EVERY TWF SUPERSTAR ARE SHOWN AND THEY ALL START TO SHUFFLE AROUND AT A VERY QUICK PACE, COMING TO REST ON HARRY SMITH. Styles: "Well look at that, it's one half of the current TWF Tag Team champions, Harry Smith"! Lawler: "Harry Smith is coming to Rampage, but what does that mean for the Tag Team championship"?! Styles: "Well we were told earlier tonight that championships will not go with the superstars who are drafted, but I guess we'll just have to play the waiting game. But Harry Smith and Paul Burchill will be in action later against The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James". BACKSTAGE........ IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA, JORDAN ROCKWELL IS SHOWN FURIOUSLY SEARCHING FOR SHANE THOMPSON AND IS ALMOST INCENSED WHEN TWF AGENT ARN ANDERSON COMES UP. Arn Anderson: "Hey, hey, calm down"! Jordan Rockwell: "Where the hell is he?! Where's Thompson"?! Anderson: "He left..... he and that.... that clown left the arena at least ten minutes ago". ROCKWELL TURNS AND WALKS AWAY. Anderson: "Rockwell...... don't! Don't go after him..... it's not worth it"! 2009 TWF Draft- PrimeTime vs. SlaughterHouse Chaos Wolf vs. The Brian Kendrick The Brian Kendrick tried to do his best "Heartbreak Kid" entrance but Chaos Wolf got tired of his showboating and before he even removed his jacket, Wolf attacked him with a shot to the back of the head. He then picked Kendrick up and drove him into the corner before backing up and smashing into him with a clothesline. The very aggressive attack by Wolf led to a stiff kick right to the head. Wolf made a cover but Kendrick was able to get up at 2 before rolling out of the ring in an attempt to catch his breath. But Wolf followed right after him. He jumped off the apron but Kendrick got in a foot to the midsection before slamming Wolf face first into the ring steps. He then whipped him into the barricade before getting back into the ring. Wolf was able to beat the count back into the ring but Kendrick put the boots to him. He then ran the ropes and went for a flying dropkick but he missed everything when Wolf rolled out of the way. Wolf then picked him up and delivered a nasty brainbuster suplex. He went for the cover, but Kendrick got his foot on the bottom rope after a 2 count. Wolf got up and picked Kendrick up, lifting him to his shoulder. He charged across the ring with him up there but Kendrick was able to slide off and push Wolf head first into the top turnbuckle pad in the corner. That led to Kendrick connecting with "Sliced Bread #2" and he quickly hopped into a cover, hooking the outside leg for the victory. Match Time: 6:03 Styles: "Brian Kendrick hits Sliced Bread Number two and SlaughterHouse is on the board"! Lawler: "Don't you mean The Brian Kendrick"?! Styles: "Let's get to that draft board and see who the pick is"! Draft Pick: William Regal Lawler: "Whoa, look at that! The United Nations is being picked apart piece by piece"! Styles: "William Regal is on his way to SlaughterHouse and we are off and running here on Main Event"! Lawler: "Don't go away, because coming up next, Cody Rhodes takes on Damion West in a battle between Rampage and PrimeTime"! COMMERCIAL BREAK............... A COMMERCIAL FOR SNICKERS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY AN NBC PROGRAMMING AD FOR "HEROES". RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE....... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, "STRONGER" BY KANYE WEST PLAYS AND DAMION WEST COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER FROM THE CROWD. Styles: "We are back here live on network tv and here comes a guy who knows what it's like to compete on more than one division here in the TWF, King". CODY RHODES IS SHOWN IN THE RING GETTING LOOSE. Lawler: "Damion West has been over on the PrimeTime side of things for some time now, but I know if it was a possibility through tonight's draft, we'd love to have him back on Rampage". Styles: "Or on SlaughterHouse for that matter. But tonight, the competition will be the young upstart Cody Rhodes, a member of GeNext and King, we've already seen the United Nations have a wedge driven through their group tonight, can you imagine the same thing happening to GeNext"?! Lawler: "Anything is possible here at the TWF Draft... that's what makes this night so exciting"! 2009 TWF Draft- Rampage vs. PrimeTime Cody Rhodes vs. Damion West The bell sounded to get this match underway and Cody Rhodes was able to stick a finger in West's eye to start it off. After a deep arm drag, Rhodes took West into a top wristlock, trying to keep him on the mat. But West worked his way to a standing position and he risked severe injury by flinging Rhodes over his head. West shook his arm out before kicking at the young second generation superstar, belting his body with kicks. He then shot him to the ropes but missed with a clothesline and Rhodes came off the other side with a flying lariat. Showing a bit of a mean streak, Rhodes then used the base of his forearm to drive into the bridge of West's nose. After a few more hard shots, he pulled West up and whipped him to the ropes but he telegraphed his next move and West hung onto the top rope to stop his momentum as Rhodes went for a dropkick and landed hard on the mat. When he got up, West struck with a dropkick of his own before smashing the chest of Rhodes with multiple knifedge chops but when he tried to shoot him to the other corner, Rhodes reversed it and ran in but West took a step out and smashed him with the "Head on Collision"! A sickening echo rang through the arena after contact was made and West fell on top of him to get the 1........2.........3! Match Time: 4:08 Lawler: "Oh my goodness..... what a superkick"! Styles: "Damion West just took Cody Rhodes' head off"! Lawler: "And now it's time to see who the pick for PrimeTime is"! Draft Pick- Sylvester Terkay Styles: "It's the Manbear! Sylvester Terkay goes to PrimeTime"! Lawler: "Well a very big pick there for PrimeTime and now each division has one pick tonight"! BACKSTAGE...... NAILS IS SHOWN IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA WHEN RANDY ORTON WALKS UP, CARRYING OF ALL THINGS A FIRE POKER AND HE HAS A BIG SMILE ON HIS FACE. Randy Orton: "Ya know what this is, Nails? That's right, the very thing you've used to win match after match in the TWF for what, the last ten years now? C'mon man, now I'm hearing rumors in the back that you want to be taken seriously and you feel you should have a World title run. Seriously? Take a look at yourself! You'll never be a World champion in the eyes of your peers, the fans or anyone else involved in this industry. All you'll ever be is a freak wearing a hockey mask". ORTON DROPS THE FIRE POKER AND IT LOUDLY CLANGS ON THE FLOOR BEFORE HE WALKS AWAY. NAILS SLIGHTLY TURNS HIS HEAD TO FOLLOW ORTON. 2009 TWF Draft- Rampage vs. PrimeTime Rampage Tag Team champs: The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James w/ Monica vs. TWF Tag Team Champs: The United Nations w/ Katie Lea The Boogeyman and Eddie Saint James came to the ring together and seem to be establishing more of a partnership. Burchill and the recently drafted Harry Smith came out and Smith didn't even carry his tag team title to the ring. Katie Lea seemed to be in the middle of an argument between Smith and her brother. Once the match started, The Boogeyman was able to get a hold of Smith and he roughed up Rampage's newest superstar with some heavy offense. After shooting Smith into the corner, Boogeyman flew in with a body splash before slapping the hand of Eddie Saint James, who came in and kept the pressure on Smith, rocking him with some hard right hands to the body before pulling him into a short-armed clothesline. Boogeyman tagged back into the match and as The Saint held Smith down, he bounced off the ropes and landed a hard diving headbutt. He then went for a cover, but Smith was able to get up at 2. The Saint got back into the match and he came in and put Smith down with a delayed vertical suplex, a move Smith's own father was famous for. He then ran the ropes but Burchill finally interjected himself into the match, driving a knee into the small of The Saint's back. Burchill then yelled at Smith to make the tag and he was able to get over and slap Burchill's hand. Burchill came in and rocked Saint James with a barrage of right hands before slamming into him with a clothesline after hitting the ropes. "See how it's done"?!, Burchill yelled at his ailing partner. He then ran over and barrelled into The Boogeyman, knocking him off the ring apron. Burchill then dragged The Saint over to his team's corner before getting in the face of referee Marty Elias. That gave Katie Lea the chance to slap The Saint across the face. But this drew Monica over and the reigning TWF Women's champion tackled Katie Lea, planting her into the mat surrounding the ring! In the ring, Burchill came over and yelled at Monica, but from behind, The Saint was able to get him up and in position for the "Death to Humanity"! The Saint drove him into the mat with it before rolling him over for the win! Match Time: 6:17 Styles: "The Death to Humanity is what that is called and Paul Burchill's partner, Harry Smith, made no attempt to save him there"! Lawler: "Well I think you can call him his former partner because Harry Smith is coming to Rampage and we just got another pick"! Styles: "Let's go over to the board and see who it is"! THE RANDOM DRAWING BOARD ENDS UP LANDING ON THE IMAGE OF EDGE. Draft Pick- Edge Lawler: "What?! Take a look at this..... it's the brand new Universal champion"! Styles: "This is..... this is just shocking! Is Edge even in the building anymore"? Lawler: "J.R., I know you're watching.... Rampage just hit a home run here at the draft"! Styles: "Somebody better find Edge and give him the news...... I don't know what all this means........... COMMERCIAL BREAK......... A COMMERCIAL FOR GEICO AUTO INSURANCE IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY ONE FOR QUIZNO's SUBS. RETURN FROM BREAK..... BACKSTAGE...... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, SHANE McMAHON IS FURIOUSLY SEARCHING FOR EDGE IN THE BACK, ASKING ANYONE IN SIGHT IF THEY HAVE SEEN HIM. JOHN MORRISON's MUSIC IS PLAYING AND HE IS IN THE RING WITH THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST. Styles: "We are back on NBC and this place is still buzzing over what just took place after the last match". Lawler: "Well Eddie Saint James and The Boogeyman were victorious and then we found out Edge has been drafted over to Rampage and all hell broke loose"! "BLACK" BY SEVENDUST PLAYS AND SEBASTIAN CAIN MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO A BIG CHEER AND HE HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE STRAPPED TO HIS WAIST. Styles: "Officials are still scouring the building in search of Edge but right now, we have a twenty minute triple threat match with some very unique rules". Lawler: "Oh yeah, because whoever wins this match will be the man who can earn the most decisions in twenty minutes and he will earn that many draft picks for his division"! "BREAK DOWN THE WALLS" COMES ON AND CHRIS JERICHO COMES OUT TO MOSTLY ALL BOOS. Styles: "In other words, if Jericho scores five pinfalls or submissions in twenty minutes and wins the match, SlaughterHouse receives five draft picks"! Lawler: "And aside from Y2J, this match features both the King of Cable and Intercontinental champions"! 20 Minute Triple Threat Match King of Cable: Sebastian Cain vs. Chris Jericho vs. Intercontinental Champ: John Morrison Fans in the arena were very much into this match and they seemed to be drawn right down the middle on cheers for Morrison and Cain. Early on, Cain and Morrison teamed up against Jericho, taking turns getting their shots in. But Jericho was able to push Morrison into Cain and then he caught Morrison with a jumping enziguri. He then ran the ropes but Cain stepped up and took Y2J out with flying wheel kick. He went for the cover, but Morrison broke it up. Morrison and Cain then were in each other's faces before trading blows. Cain rocked Morrison into the ropes and after a kick to the midsection, he delivered an inverted neckbreaker drop. He got down to make a cover but Jericho landed on them with a senton bomb to stop the count. Jericho pulled Cain to his feet and beat his chest with 3 knifedge chops. After a snap mare, Jericho kicked Cain right in the back. Morrison ran over towards Jericho but Jericho sidestepped him and tossed him right over the top rope. Cain got up and hit Jericho from behind but after countering a backdrop suplex attempt, Jericho took Cain down with a double leg and turned him over with the "Walls of Jericho"! Jericho was threatening to get the first fall of the match, but just before Cain tapped, Morrison came into the ring and caught him with a big kick to the back of the head. He then landed a breakdance style legdrop and covered Jericho, hooking the leg for the 1.............2........., but Jericho rolled his right shoulder off the mat. The battle waged on and all 3 competitors went for big move after big move. Late in the match, Morrison lifted Jericho to the top rope and followed him up, looking for a superplex. But Jericho was able to push him off to the mat before climbing down and running the ropes, scoring with the Lionsault. But before Jericho could make a cover, Cain came over and pushed him out of the way, covering Morrison and stealing the pin at about the 17 minute mark. For the next 3 minutes, all 3 men fought furiously trying to come up with another fall, but it wasn't there for any of them and the bell sounded to stop the match with all 3 men standing in the ring, breathing heavily. Sebastian Cain raised both his arms as "Black" played again. Styles: "Well they were given twenty minutes and they put on a clinic out here, but Sebastian Cain has gotten the one and only fall and Rampage has scored another draft pick"! MORRISON GRABBED THE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE AND WALKED BACK UP THE RAMP AS JERICHO TRADED UNPLEASANTRIES WITH THE CROWD. Lawler: "And let's see who it is"! AFTER ANOTHER TURN THROUGH THE FACES OF THE TWF, THE RAMPAGE LOGO ALONG WITH A LARGE QUESTION MARK IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN. Draft Pick- New Superstar package Styles: "I am getting word in my headset that Rampage has just drafted the new superstar package, whatever that is". Lawler: "New superstar package?! What does that mean"?! Styles: "Details on who and how many superstars this is worth will be provided soon, but it sounds like this could be a great pick for Rampage"! BACKSTAGE......... IN THE BACK, LENA YADA HAS CAUGHT UP WITH SHANE McMAHON. Lena Yada: "Shane, have you been able to find Edge yet"? Shane McMahon: "Uh, no.... no I haven't". Lena Yada: "Is there any kind of message you would like to send to him"? Shane McMahon: "Edge, I know you're still here man, so please, listen up. I know you're not gonna like this after you just won the Universal title back, but you have been drafted to Rampage. You have become the property of that show..... the Universal title is the property of my show, PrimeTime. Sorry man, but we can do this the easy way or the hard way....... I need the belt back". SHANE LOOKS INTO THE CAMERA FOR A FEW EXTRA SECONDS BEFORE WALKING AWAY. BACK AT RINGSIDE, "MISERIA CANTARE" COMES ON AND JOE COREY MAKES HIS WAY OUT TO SOME VERY HASTY BOOS. Styles: "Some terrible news for Edge fans, although I know there aren't many of you, but we are jumping right back into the action". Lawler: "I just wouldn't want to be the guy that has to give Edge that news". Styles: "This will be a PrimeTime versus Rampage matchup and thus far, Rampage has done pretty well for itself, King". Lawler: "I'm still wondering what that new superstar package is all about". "NO MORE WORDS" BY ENDEVERAFTER PLAYS AND JEFF HARDY COMES OUT TO AN INSANELY LOUD POP. Styles: "Jeff Hardy will provide the opposition here for Joe Corey in what should be a very interesting matchup". Lawler: "Well I'm not sure if you saw the last PrimeTime, Joey, but I saw what Corey did to Finlay. I hope Jeff Hardy took some good notes". 2009 TWF Draft- Rampage vs. PrimeTime Jeff Hardy vs. "The Show" Joe Corey The two men circled each other to start the match before tying up. Jeff was able to grab Corey in a side headlock. Corey went for a backdrop suplex but Jeff countered and after releasing his hold, he kicked Corey in the midsection and went for the Twist of Fate. But he did it was way too early and Corey was able to push him away. Jeff came back with another kick to the abdomen before running the ropes, only to have Corey strike with a flying knee to the head. After a textbook snap suplex, Corey delivered a big kneedrop. He went for the cover, but Jeff was up easily. Corey pulled Jeff up with a handful of hair and threw him into one of the steel posts in the corner. Following a backdrop suplex, Corey had Hardy in a world of trouble. He pulled him up again and pushed him into the corner. After he pounded Hardy with right hand after right hand, Corey whipped Hardy to the far corner and followed in but Jeff ran up the turnbuckle and connected with the Whisper in the Wind. Although the move took something out of Jeff as well, he was back in the match. Jeff popped Corey with several quick punches when he got to his feet. He went for an irish whip but Corey reversed it and threw a clothesline that Jeff ducked and after grabbing Corey around the head, he delivered a wicked tornado DDT. The fans came to their feet as Jeff went to the outside of the ring, climbing to the top rope. Jeff then took flight with the Swanton Bomb, but Corey rolled out of harms way just in time. He collected himself and got to his feet, pulling Hardy into the "Showstopper" before rolling him over for the win.

RETURN FROM BREAK..... RINGSIDE...... WHEN MAIN EVENT RETURNS, THE RING IS FULL OF SUPERSTARS AND "TO BE LOVED" IS PLAYING AS J.J. RAMPLIN, JACK SWAGGER, AXL IRVIN, CHRIS TIRPAK, TROY GAFGEN, RICHARD RAMSLEY AND MATT CRUZ ARE ON THEIR WAY TO THE RING, ALL WEARING BLACK AND RED TWF RAMPAGE T-SHIRTS. Styles: "We are back here on Main Event and we are just about set for what might be the most important match tonight as far as the 2009 TWF Draft is concerned"! Lawler: "The division that wins this battle royal will earn two draft picks, so yeah, it is very important"! Styles: "And directly following this match, we will reveal the automatic draft picks which each division will receive". 2009 TWF Draft- 20 Man Battle Royal Before the bell even sounded, the ring started shaking as 20 men engaged in battle. The eliminations came fast and furiously as the three shows, each their own entity, battled it out. Sworn enemies such as John Cena and Tito Ortiz fought Chris Tirpak and Troy Gafgen in one corner. But the first man to stand out in this match was the hockey masked freak, Nails. He began to eliminate people at will after backdropping J.J. Ramplin over the top rope. He then took out both Rey Mysterio and Jack Swagger with clotheslines before focusing on the big red machine, Kane. The two monsters traded shots in the center of the ring as countless brawls took place around them. Kane and Nails soon found themselves in seperate battles as Kane and Shawn Michaels went at it while Nails tried to fend off Booker T. Kane was able to get Michaels out of the match when Booker T caught an unsuspecting Tito Ortiz with a superkick that took him out of the match. Bobby Lashley, drafted to SlaughterHouse last year, then charged across the ring and smashed Nails with a shoulder tackle that knocked him over the top rope. John Cena soon found himself face to face with Lashley, and the crowd came to their feet. The two men went toe to toe, trying to get the other man to budge. But as this went on, eliminations came in the bunches. Chris Tirpak eliminated CM Punk just as PJ Cash snuck up behind Kane and dropkicked him in the back, taking him over the top rope! Cash began to badmouth Kane when Matt Cruz came from behind and dumped him out. But Cruz quickly found himself in the same spot, pushed over the top rope by Booker T. In the middle of the ring, Cena was able to overcome Lashley and he got him up on his shoulders. He couldn't keep him there, though, and Lashley slipped off, landing on his feet before picking Cena up and charging towards the ropes, tossing him to the floor! The fans were surprised by the stunning elimination but as this was going on, Chris Tirpak took a shot at his own show when he blindsided Axl Irvin with a kick to the side of the head. Axl never saw it coming and he became easy pickings for Tirpak to eliminate him. Lashley was still fired up from all the cheers from putting Cena out, but he turned his back towards the action and Matt Cruz was able to get him out. Chris Tirpak got the boot from Triple H and Troy Gafgen tossed out Samaiel. But after landing on the floor, Samaiel got on the apron and hit Gafgen in the back of the head before pulling him out of the ring. Officials on the floor forced Samaiel away, but they allowed the elimination to stand. Samaiel was the final hope for PrimeTime and suddenly, it was down to Matt Cruz, Richard Ramsley, Triple H and Kurt Angle. Angle went at it with Cruz as Triple H and Ramsley paired off. The SlaughterHouse tandem was able to win their seperate battles and they tried to whip Cruz and Ramsley into each other. But Ramsley was able to reverse it and he sent Triple H head first into Cruz. Ramsley then grabbed The Game by the back of the head and threw him over the top rope. Angle did the same with Cruz, but Cruz landed on the apron, holding on. Angle and Ramsley went at it when Cruz got back into the ring, feverishly trying to get Angle out. But Angle hung in with everything he had and after using his feet to shove Cruz away, he mule kicked Ramsley and clotheslined him out of the ring. Cruz jumped on Angle's back and tried to lock in a sleeper hold, but Angle ran backwards into the corner to cause a break. He then got Cruz up for the "Angle Slam" and instead just dropped him out of the ring for the win! Styles: "SlaughterHouse wins it..... two picks comin' our way thanks to Kurt Angle"! Lawler: "A very big win for SlaughterHouse and there are still some huge names out there..... let's see who they get"! Draft Picks- Umaga and Scott Steiner Styles: "Look at those two picks..... we'll certainly take those"! Lawler: "Scott Steiner is a draft pick for the second year in a row"! Styles: "And as we told you at the top of the broadcast, each show was given two automatic draft picks, but we have just been told that because they won the new superstar package, Rampage will only be awarded one pick. These picks were made about an hour ago, so let's find out who they are, King"! Lawler: "The last picks of the 2009 draft..... who are they gonna be"! To PrimeTime: Chris Masters and Chris Jericho To SlaughterHouse: Curt Hawkins and Shawn Michaels To Rampage: Gina Carano Styles: "Wow...... some huge names changing divisions there"! Lawler: "What a draft this has been"! BACKSTAGE........ IN THE BACK, SHANE McMAHON IS SHOWN STANDING OUTSIDE EDGE's DRESSING ROOM. HE HAS 6 OR 7 SECURITY GUARDS WITH HIM. HE KNOCKS, BUT THERE IS NO ANSWER. SHANE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE DRESSING ROOM AND ENTERS. EDGE IS NOT THERE, BUT THE UNIVERSAL TITLE HAS BEEN LEFT ON A TABLE. SHANE PICKS IT UP AND JUST SHAKES HIS HEAD AS THE SHOT FADES OUT. COMMERCIAL BREAK.............. A COMMERCIAL FOR DORITOS IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE "THE GOODS". RETURN FROM BREAK.... RINGSIDE...... WHEN THE MAIN EVENT RETURNS, "VOICES" BY REV THEORY IS PLAYING AND RANDY ORTON GRABS A HEADSET TO PROVIDE COMMENTARY FOR THE MAIN EVENT. Styles: "We are back here live in Pittsburgh, being joined by the current TWF World champion, Randy Orton". Lawler: "Good evening, Randy, glad you can be here". Randy Orton: "Yeah, I guess I didn't really have anything better to do, but someone needs to tell whoever is in charge of catering in this place that it sucks.... seriously"! "MISTERRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYY" IS HEARD AND KENNEDY COMES OUT TO A BIG CHEER. Styles: "Well this is the March for MeltDown and Randy, we know that the next challenger for your title will be determined by the man who survives this competition! Any idea who might come out of this"? Orton: "No, I have no clue, but I do know that I have beaten this man before, in fact, he's the guy I won my title from". Lawler: "Well then you know he's gotta be itching to get back in there with you at MeltDown.... whoa, look out"! JUST THEN, MONEY MIKE CAME FROM OUT OF THE CROWD AND ATTACKED KENNEDY FROM BEHIND. Styles: "It's Money Mike with a sneak attack on Kennedy! This match hasn't even started"! March to MeltDown Triple Threat Mr. Kennedy vs. Money Mike vs. Jason Oliver With Money Mike putting a beatdown on Kennedy, referee Jim Korderas had no choice but to start the match without Oliver. Mike pounded Kennedy for around 3 minutes before Jason Oliver slowly made his way down the ramp to the ring. Mike saw him, causing a momentary distraction that allowed Kennedy to get his wits about him. Mike turned around and Kennedy struck him with a right hand, followed by another. After a stiff european uppercut, Kennedy ran the ropes but Oliver tripped him up and Mike struck him with a back elbow. Oliver finally got into the ring and picked Kennedy up, throwing him into the steel post. This was strangely becoming a 2 on 1 situation. But suddenly, and withouut provocation, Money Mike turned and decked Oliver with a right hand. Oliver rolled under the bottom rope and went outside the ring when Kennedy scored with a roundhouse kick on Mike. He went for a cover and got a 2 count from Korderas before Mike got a shoulder up. Money Mike backed off and was acting like he'd suffered some sort of shoulder injury. Korderas asked him if he was okay to continue but Oliver got up on the ring apron and grabbed Kennedy from behind, pulling him down over the top rope with a reverse hangman. Money Mike then pushed Korderas out of the way and grabbed Kennedy, lifting him up and drilling him with the "Money Pit" before hooking the leg for the 1...............2....................3! Match Time: 6:28 Styles: "Money Mike has pinned Kennedy and eliminated him from the March to MeltDown! We're down to just two men"! Lawler: "And what about what Oliver did?! He wanted to make sure Money Mike got the pin"! AS "KING OF KINGS" PLAYED, MONEY MIKE STOOD IN THE RING STARING AT OLIVER, WHO POINTED A FINGER AT HIM AND MOUTHED THE WORDS "YOU AND ME" AS HE WALKED UP THE RAMP. Styles: "There seems to be something more to this.... what do you make of it, Randy"?! Orton: "I could really care less what these two have against each other! I hope they tear each other limb from limb so my job at MeltDown is even easier than it already will be"! Styles: "Well we hope you've enjoyed this very special edition of TWF's Main Event! Good night"! OFF AIR....................
