BAD ASS WRESTLING
Before the opening package airs, we see a recap of Christopher Daniels attack on The Undertaker last week, followed by a prerecorded video from Daniels himself. He's standing in the middle of a large graveyard, facing several graves before he to the camera to speak.
Daniels: Deadman...tonight on Rampage...I have a offer that's right up your alley. It's gonna be...a....grave....challenge!
After this brief promo, Rampage's usual video package airs, then we go to the arena and announce team of Jeremy Borash and SoCal Val.
JB: Hello everyone and welcome to BAW Rampage! We are live from the Mohegan Sun arena live in the Mohegan Sun casino! I have a feeling the Bad Asses are gonna be putting up some high stakes tonight
Val: Indeed, for starters we got a long awaited battle with Samoa Joe, who surely is looking to get some revenge on Drew McIntyre tonight for his attack two weeks ago. But is the Submission Machine from Samoa 100 percent?
JB: Also planned for tonight a very interesting match for sure. Raven has challenged Team 3D to a handicap hardcore match. Apparently he wants to send a message to RVD for their Clockwork Orange House of Fun match at Road 2 Ruin...but why a handicap match?
We head to the ring for the opening match
The Hurricane vs Frankie Kazarian
Kazarian makes his way dressed in red tights.
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Yucca Valley, California, weighing in at 215 lbs, “The Future” Frankie Kazarian!
JB: Kazarian put up a decent effort against BAW Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy 2 weeks ago and last week it looks like he wants another shot at the title...
Val: And his opponent tonight earned a future title shot one week ago. Would a win for Kazarian be convincing enough to get him a rematch?
Justin: And from Smithfield, North Carolina, weighing in at 216 lbs, The Hurricane!
Hurricane jumps off the ropes to enter the ring and slams into Kaz, going for a quick pin, but it only gets 1. Once Kaz recovers he kicks the superhero's back and nails a fisherman's suplex, but it only gets 1 as well. Kazarian waits for Hurricane to recover and dropkicks him in the chest, causing the hero to roll out of the ring for a moment. Once he does, Kaz bounces off the ropes from the other side and ricochets off of them and flings himself over the top ropes and into Hurricane with a crossbody to the outside. Once they both get back to their feet, Kaz delivers several knees to the hero's chest and rolls him back into the ring and covers for a 2. Hurricane recovers and grabs his opponent with a bodyslam, then mounts the turnbuckle and connects with a bulldog, but a pin attempt just barely gets 2. Following this, Hurricane waits for Kaz to recover and picks him up, ramming him into the turnbuckle and gets up to the top, beginning the “10 count” punches. After the 10th, he throws his opponent to the canvas face first. He runs to the ropes and gets tripped by Kazarian, who gets back to his feet and grabs Hurricane, connecting with a Wave of the Future, but Hurricane grabs the ropes before a 3 count. Kazarian waits fro him to recover and goes for a bicycle kick, but his opponent dodges and Kazarian goes crotch first into the ropes. Hurricane tries to take advantage of this and hits a back body drop, then picks Kaz up and attempting to throw him into the turnbuckle. Kaz reverses this and Hurricane is thrown there instead. Kaz rushes over and mounts the corner with the hero and nails the Flux Capacitor. Covers...1...2...3, it's over.
Winner: Frankie Kazarian.
Val: Do you think that victory will convince whoever's in charge to give Kazarian another shot at Kennedy the IC Champ?
JB: Who knows, but I do know we will see the champ in non-title action as well tonight against Desmond Wolfe...I believe we have him backstage now for his comments.
Backstage-Desmond Wolfe talks about his match tonight
Wolfe: Last week was a fluke! I can and will defeat that loudmouth...asshole...I've already talked to management and we reached a agreement; when I win tonight, I'll be in line for a title shot. Oh and once I win, perhaps I'll try out that mic of yours Kenny, see how I sound....Good Show.
Match+Promo=12 minutes.
Samoa Joe has arrived to the building, his arm bandaged up from Drew McIntyre's attack last week. He's heading straight for McIntyre's locker room, a psychotic look in his eyes. Several refs rush him to try and stop him
Ref: Joe please, you have to wait until tonight...
Joe grabs the guy by the throat
Joe: I...am not...waiting! he throws the ref against the wall
Joe: Tell him to get his ass out here now!
The other refs rush Joe attempting to stop him, albeit with lots of difficulty...
Heath Slater vs Percy Watson
Slater enters the arena to boos as the sounds of a guitar solo play in the background; Slater pretends to play them on his fake “Guitar Hero” guitar (poorly) at the same time.
Val: What a impressive rock star!
Justin: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the land of rock and roll weighing in at 232 lbs, the self-proclaimed “One Man Rock Band” Heath Slater!
Slater head bangs his way to the ring to the annoyance of the fans. His opponent is heading to the ring next...
Watson is out in blue trimmed glasses and attire and enters the ring for the match.
Slater kicks Watson in the face to start, nearly knocking off his glasses and follows up by throwing him to the canvas and stomping away. Percy rolls out of the ring for a moment and gets back in with several punches to the 'rock star' and follows up with a quick brainbuster. After getting a 2 count, Percy grabs Slater by the hair and rams him into the turnbuckle and pauses to showboat to the delight of the crowd. This would backfire on him as Slater takes Watson down with a flip kick and following up with a spinning spinebuster for 2. Watson gets right back up and nails a enzuigiri and a second one once Slater gets back up again. He stomps down the redhead for a while and showboats some more, going for a cover and getting 2. Slater gets up and bounces off the ropes the same time Watson does and the two go down with simultaneous clotheslines. Slater is getting frustrated and looks to pull off a dirty trick...Percy is back to his feet the same time the redhead is and the two lock up. Slater accidentally pushes Percy into the ref, who gets knocked off his feet for a moment. As soon as he his, Slater grabs the fake guitar he brought with him and clobbers Percy in the head with it. The ref never saw the shot, but he does see Slater cover Watson, so he counts to 3.
Winner: “The One Man Rock Band” Heath Slater.
JB: Well, what a dirty trick on the account of the self-proclaimed “one man rock band”...
Afterwards, Heath Slater looks to do more damage to Percy, grabbing him and looking to nail the jumping neckbreaker but out of nowhere, Skip Sheffield charges out of the audience and into the ring. Before Slater knows it...WAM! He is blindsided with a enormous clothesline. Sheffield picks him up and delivers the 'Over-the Shoulder Boulder Holder” and the redhead is out like a light, much to the fans delight.
A recap of the Hardyz/Team 3D match from last week is played as well as the beatdown from Ink Inc. We see a graphic that shows the two will face each other next!
Match=7 minutes.
The Undertaker is shown backstage surrounded in darkness, staring off in the distance.
Ink Inc. vs The Hardy Boyz
Justin: The following tag match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, Shannon Moore and Jesse Neal...Ink Inc!
Ink Inc. enter to heavy boos. Jesse gets on the mic.
Jesse: Many people wonder why we attacked Team 3D and the Hardyz last week. Well, isn't it obvious? Those two are washed up! Finished! They have nothing left to prove! So why are they here? They want to try and become the first ever BAW Tag Team champions? Bull!
Shannon Moore takes the mic
Moore: Jeff, Devon, Matt, Bubba; you boys both taught us everything we know. The Hardyz for me, Team 3D for Jesse. Now we're gonna take BOTH of you out. Come Road 2 Ruin, we will be the ones standing tall with the tag belts! But we don't even have to wait, as right here and now, we'll prove that Tattoo Attitude is stronger than the so called Team Extreme!
The Hardyz don't even bother to let Justin Roberts finish their introduction before charging to the ring.
Jeff kicks Shannon down and tags Matt in who does the same. Matt picks him up and nails a side effect that gets 2. Shannon rolls out for a moment and bounces off the ropes with a cross body to Matt for 2. Shannon gets up and tags Jesse Neal in, who rams Matt into his ring post, but this lets Jeff tag himself in. Neal grabs him and nails a belly to belly, then proceeds to stomp Jeff's head in. The ref warns him not to do it or risk a DQ, so Neal lays off and tags in Moore, who goes to the top ropes and delivers a moonsalt that gets a near 3 but Jeff kicks out just in time. Moore picks him back up and throws him into the ropes and takes him out with a dropkick and covers for another 2 count. Neal gets tagged in and he and Moore score a double team suplex, causing Matt to break up the pin attempt. Neal plans on going for a spear as Jeff staggers to his feet but Jeff dodges and quickly tags Matt in, who nails a running knee to Neal's face. Matt looks to go for a twist of fate, but Moore rushes into the ring and tackles Matt. As the ref tries to get Moore back into his corner, Neal delivers a low blow to the dark haired Hardy, then shoves his rainbow haired brother off the canvas so he doesn't try to interfere. Neal pulls back and nearly spears Matt in half! One 3 count later and this one is over!
Winners: Ink Inc.
JB: That has to be without a doubt Ink Inc's biggest win in their career!
Val: They defeated their former mentors! That's gotta be major confidence for the Tag Title match in 2 weeks!
Ink Inc taunt the Hardyz to celebrate.
Backstage-Melina is seen doing her makeup when suddenly Madison Rayne appears behind her.
Melina: Uhm yes?
Rayne: Melina...It's a honor to have you be a part of BAW...your like, a legend to divas everywhere! And I hope there won't be any hard feelings when we finally get in the ring and I defeat you...
Melina: Oh? Did you just say you'll defeat me? Who's the strongest diva here? Who's the most attractive? Who's the most confident? Your looking at her!
Suddenly, another girl bursts into the room in her underwear. Daffney is close behind with a torn up dress in her hands
Daffney: Where are you going? I didn't get to finish your makeover!
She sees the other girls and gives both of them a 'invitation'
Daffney: Oh goodie goodie. I wanted to invite you two to a little party I'm throwing a big major bash at Road 2 Ruin. All of the Hot Asses are invited! It's called “Daffney's Deadly invitational!” Every girl for herself, last one standing....dressed, wins. I hope you two will be able to come. It's gonna be quite the blast...
Daffney does her famous scream to close out this segment as Melina and Madison look on confused.
Match+Promo=12 minutes.
The Undertaker is shown backstage again, still surrounded by darkness and still staring off in the dark distance...
Mr. Kennedy vs Desmond Wolfe
Kennedy, dressed in black tights, calls down the mic.
Kennedy: Ladies and assholes! Presenting...YOUR BAW intercontinental champion! The man who will tame the wolf and make him his b**ch! MRRRRRRRRRRRRR...KENNEDY! (wait for it...wait for it...) KENNEDY!
Wolfe comes out to the ring to get the match underway.
Kennedy locks up with Wolfe as he enters the ring and shoves him into the nearby turnbuckle and whips his chest several times (woooo!). Wolfe counters with a kick in the chest and grabs Kennedy with a powerslam. After a failed pin attempt, Wolfe stomps the IC Champion down and goes for a armbar, but Kennedy is able to get to the ropes before it actually does any real damage. He tosses Wolfe into the turnbuckle and mounts the turnbuckle himself with Wolfe on his shoulders...Green Bay Plunge! Kennedy rolls him over for the cover, but Wolfe is too close to the ropes and gets his foot onto said ropes. Once he is picked up, Wolfe takes the champion off of his feet and gets him in a sleeper hold which turns into a cobra clutch. Kennedy struggles to fight out of it until Wolfe breaks the hold voluntarily and as Kennedy gets up, delivers a powerslam which gets a 2. The IC Champ gets up and hits Wolfe with a headbutt and kick to the face. Kennedy gets in position for the Mic Check and grabs the london brawler, but Wolfe shoves him into the turnbuckle. He gets Kennedy in position and nails the tower of london for the surprising 3 count!
Winner: Desmond Wolfe
Val: unbelievable! Wolfe just pinned the Intercontinental Champion!
Wolfe does Kennedy's classic pose as the microphone drops from the ceiling.
Wolfe: And the loser of the match....MRRRRRRRRRRRRR! KENNEDY! (pauses)...KENNEDY!
JB: Ladies and gentlemen I hate to interrupt Wolfe's surprising celebration, but it seems we have some more problems backstage!
We go to another area and see Team 3D getting beaten down by Ink Inc as Raven watches on shouting instructions. Moore and Neal deliver a double team DDT to Bubba and throw Devon to Raven who chokes him out with a lead pipe. He sees the camera and speaks to it
Raven: Hey RVD...looks like your running buddies ain't what they used to be like Jesse and Shannon said...Darn shame because I was hoping to get as much as I could out of them...but I guess we'll find out when we get in the ring...*He leaves*
Match+Promo=14 minutes.
Raven vs Team 3D (handicap hardcore match)
Raven comes out smiling, obviously pleased with the deed from a moment ago, which could make this match much easier than previously thought. Fans boo the loaner as he gets in the ring for his opponents...IF they show up. Their music hits but they don't come out at first.
Raven: What's the matter boys? I thought even at your age you still had SOME fight in you...If not...I guess that means I'm the...
Devon charges out, despite not being 100 percent and pounds away at Raven. A bloody Bubba is slow but he is able to get in the ring and help out, allowing Team 3D to double team Raven with a double clothesline. The attack from Ink Inc from earlier starts to catch up to them however and Raven is able to come back and take advantage by grabbing the same steel pipe from earlier from the corner of the ring, clobbering Devon with it. He tries to do the same with Bubba but he grabs it and takes it away, trying to hit Raven with it, but Raven is too fast for him. He pounds away at Bubba as Devon, busted open from the pipe, slowly gets back up and headbutts Raven, then Devon covers for a 2. Ink Inc come back out and stand at the entrance-way, which only makes things more difficult for Team 3D to focus. Raven kicks Bubba in the gut and throws him into Devon, taking both down. He goes to the outside and grabs 2 steel chairs and throws them into the ring. He opens one and gets a grip on the second one, but Devon gets to it as well and tries taking it away, kicking Raven down and hitting him with the chair. He swings again, but Raven dodges and the chair bounces back into Devon's face, taking him down, while Bubba attempts a Bubba cutter on Raven, but he reverses with a low blow kick. He turns around and nails Bubba with a Evenflow DDT to the open chair. The weakened Team 3D member is covered by Raven, who gets the 3 count and the win.
Winner: Raven.
Ink Inc think about going into the ring, but Raven waves them off, saying he has this. He grabs the steel chair Devon had and clobbers him with it, the ref trying to get him to stop, but to no avail. Raven goes back to the outside and grabs a mic.
Raven: RVD! I hope....*chairshot* Your watching! *chairshot* Because in 2 weeks at Road 2 Ruin...*chairshot* Your gonna suffer the same fate as these 2 ECW rejects...*chairshot* Quoth the Raven...*He opens the chair and sits* Nevermore...
Fans boo and jeer as we head to the back where Samoa Joe stalks McIntyre's locker room again. A referee comes out.
Ref: Joe...listen. I have a message from Mr. McIntyre...He says he wants you to go to the ring...
Joe gets in the ref's face
Joe: He sure as hell better get his ass there next!
Joe settles down and starts heading to the ring
Match+Promo=11 minutes.
Samoa Joe vs Drew McIntyre
Samoa Joe charges to the ring and takes the mic from Justin Roberts, snapping at him to get out of the ring.
Joe: McIntyre! Get you ass in this ring now before I go to the back and kill someone...preferably you...
Fans go wild as they await McIntyre...but he doesn't seem to be coming...
Joe: Your pressing your luck...I'm warning you...get out here before someone gets hurt...
After another moment or 2, Joe gets angry and starts heading out of the ring and prepares to go to the back when suddenly, Drew appears onscreen as the fans boo, inside of a limo.
Drew: Joe Joe Joe...you need to watch that temper of yours...I'm afraid that you've gone too far...you just might hurt yourself especially with your arm in such bad shape...thanks to yours truly...(fans boo) I'm afraid I just had a word with management and it seems out of concern for their top star's safety...I'm not gonna wrestle you being so bloody mad (fans are ready to riot)...but I'll tell you what; I have a new bodyguard for my safety as well, so I have a proposition for you; If you beat him I'll face you no questions asked at Road 2 Ruin...sound good to you?
Joe: Sounds like crap! You better get out here! NOW!
Drew smiles and tells them to bring out his bodyguard/Joe's opponent as the window for the mirror goes up and Drew drives off. Joe starts to exit the ring and prepares to head to the parking lot when...
(writer's note: I know who's theme this is just listen to the song not the wrestler)
“The Freak” Rob Terry heads to the ring dressed in street clothes and charges at Joe. McIntyre is gone now, so it looks like Joe's gonna have to settle for his bodyguard, who throws him back into the ring and we're underway!
Samoa Joe vs Rob Terry
Terry is able to take the submission machine down with a powerful clothesline. As soon as Joe gets up, he knocks him down again, then a 3rd and 4th time, one from every side of the ring. However, Joe is able to get up every time as if they were nothing, much to Rob's surprise. He delivers a powerful big boot to the face of the Samoan, which actually takes a lot out of him. Terry covers, but gets a 2 only. He picks Joe up and tries to pick him up, but Joe counters with several elbows to the face and falls on top of Terry, who kicks out before 2, so Joe stomps him while he's down and delivers a powerful headbutt as Terry tries to get back up. Terry grabs Joe's injured arm and goes for a armbar which needless to say, actually hurts the Samoan and makes him go to one knee. The ref asks if Joe wants to quit, but he refuses and fights back, countering the armbar and hip tosses Rob Terry over his shoulder He shoulder tackles Terry and delivers a belly to back suplex for 2. Joe clutches his arm for a moment as Terry grabs him and powerslams him. 1...2...Joe gets his foot on the ropes before 3. Terry grabs Joe and scores a back body drop to take Joe down again and backs up to the ropes, planning on delivering another big boot to the face as Joe staggers back up. He charges but Joe dodges and Terry is crotched up on the ropes. Joe finds enough strength to grab the freak in a rear naked choke, but his arm is too hurt to get it on.... Terry charges again but Joe dodges again and Terry nearly hits the turnbuckle, but jumps up at the last second onto the second rope. Joe grabs him and scores a powerful muscle buster and slowly covers the freak for a 3 count.
Winner: Samoa Joe
Match=13 minutes.
The lights are out in the arena once we return...
The Undertaker is slowly heading to the ring surrounded by his druids. He stands firm in the ring, the BAW title in his hands as he holds the mic to his face as he speaks
Undertaker: The landscape of BAW and wrestling in general has seemingly been turned upside down...ever since I have won the BAW title tournament to become the first BAW champion...I had been targeted...by the same entity I barely defeated...Christopher Daniels...
We get a short recap of Taker and Daniels last encounter at BAW Nightmare...
In the recap, Daniels goes for a enzuigiri to the deadman, but Taker ducks and grabs Daniels by the throat, only to be kicked in the midsection as a counter. Daniels puts Taker in position for the Angel Wings and scores it. He covers...1...2...Kick out! Daniels mounts the turnbuckle and goes for the BME, but Undertaker does his pop-up trick, meaning the move wouldn't happen...The Fallen Angel jumps off anyway hoping to take the deadman back down, but he's caught in midair ...Tombstone! Cover...1...2...3! Undertaker wins the BAW Title! We return to the present tine in the ring...
Undertaker: It was challenging to defeat one who seems to have nearly the same amount of powers as my own...he wishes to defeat me and take the rest of my powers along with the BAW Championship...and last week The Fallen Angel tried to do what he couldn't do at Nightmare...
A recap of Daniels attack last week is played again.
Undertaker: So now...at Road 2 Ruin...the rematch is set...and the fallen angel wants to end the career of the Undertaker...take away his title as BAW champion...take away his title as the phenom...the demon of darkness...but at Road 2 Ruin...he will rest....in...peace!
At ringside we discover that the druids have brought a casket at ringside...Undertaker slowly goes over to it and does his pose as his music hits...suddenly, Christopher Daniels pops out of the casket, catching the Deadman off guard. He gets out and pounds away at the BAW Champion, kicking him in the shins and taking him off his feet. Daniels gets on the turnbuckle and delivers a BME...Getting back up, Daniels grabs the mic. Undertaker tries to pop back up, but he quickly goes back down...
Daniels: Deadman...Your right on the money...I want it all...your title as BAW Champ and as the demon of darkness...and I'm gonna prove it in not just any old match...See that casket over there? I'm gonna shove you into that casket right there...(he starts pushing the phenom's unconscious body towards the open casket...) and once your in...and that lid closes...I will be the new champion! And you? YOU! Will...rest...in...peace!
Taker falls into the casket and the lid is closed by Daniels, who does the Undertaker's classic pose, even rolling his eyes in the back of his head, to end the show.
