Throwdown World Heavyweight Championship Match
The Undertaker (c) versus Batista

The Animal has stepped into the Undertaker's yard and now Taker promises to take him to the gates of Hell! After aligning himself with Sweet and Sour Incorporated and JBL when he helped Larry Sweeney pin the Undertaker 1, 2, 3 in the middle of the ring, the management rushed to put this match up together. This should be one of the biggest matches in a long time, and on a global stage inside Memorial Coliseum, you do not want to miss what is sure to be an explosive match!

Triple Threat Match for the Unified Women's Championship
Gail Kim versus Melina (c) versus TBA

Our Unified Women's Champion, Melina has been hungry for competition ever since she beat the Divas Champion Maryse to unify the belts back at Holiday Havoc. She'll now get her chance when she has to face divas from BOTH Rampage and Throwdown. Gail Kim sealed her spot in the match after eliminating Maria Kanellis in a grueling Divas Battle Royal that would decide the Number One Contender for Throwdown. The Rampage Battle Royal is still to come, so tune into Friday Night Rampage who will walk into Los Angeles to compete in a Triple Threat Match for the Unified Women's Championship!

Jr. Heavyweight Championship Match
Brian Kendrick (c) versus Jimmy Jacobs

After pinning the Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Brian Kendrick for the three count, management has decided to give Jimmy Jacobs the chance to fulfill his destiny and become the Jr. Heavyweight Champion. And maybe get a little appreciation from his manager, Lacey for once. Brian Kendrick has been the longest reigning Jr. Heavyweight Champion and looks to continue his reign, dancing into Los Angeles as champ, and dancing out, still the Jr. Heavyweight Champion.

Last night at Wrestlemania, The Undertaker vanquished The Big Show to capture the Throwdown World Heavyweight Championship! When it looked like Big Show was going to cruise into Throwdown the next night still the champion, the Undertaker was able to sweep the legs out from Show (literally) and take his title. Big Show got too cocky and climbed all the way to the top rope, and it cost him his World Heavyweight Championship. The Undertaker was able to yank the giant out of the heavens and bring him back down to his level, where he applied Hell's Gate to win the seventh World Title of his storied career.

Tag Team Main Event
Matt Hardy & Bryan Danielson versus Jeff Hardy & Rey Mysterio

It's a dream match in this week's Throwdown main event! Fan favorites Jeff Hardy and Rey Mysterio will tag team when they collide with Matt Hardy and Bryan Danielson. Anyone who saw the war that happened last night at the Wrestlemania between the Hardy brothers knows damn well that this feud is far from over. Jeff still wants to get his hands on his brother Matt, especially when he failed to defeat his older brother in the brutal cage match. Larry Sweeney promised to unleash Bryan Danielson upon Full Throttle Wrestling and take him to the very top, and this will be his chance to back up his words when The American Dragon is put in his first ever FTW Main Event. And finally, after a lucrative trade between Throwdown and Rampage to make Rey Mysterio the highest paid wrestler in FTW history, Rey wants to prove he's worth every penny of that paycheck and show that he can hang with the big boys of Monday Night Throwdown. This should be an insane match!

United States Championship Match
Shelton Benjamin (c) versus Carlito

Everyone knows how long Shelton Benjamin has held the United States Championship, because after all, he keeps reminding everyone! Shelton has held the belt for well over a year, and with how many times he ducks out of matches or gets injured, it looks like his streak is going to last for a long time. However, new General Manager JBL has brought a southern attitude to Throwdown that Throwdown has desperately needed. JBL has essentially given Throwdown a shot in the arm of honor, pride, and respect. Shelton is not going to be able to get away with not defending his title. So after getting the night-off at Wrestlemania, Shelton will have his first defense in over two months against Carlito.

Throwdown vs. Rampage Divas Challenge
Nikki & Brie Bella versus Cheerleader Melissa & Beth Phoenix

Even though the Women's and Diva's championships have been unified into one title that spans both FTW brands, there is still a certain pride in the locker room that these women have for their respective show. So representing Throwdown will be Nikki Bella and her twin sister Brie and representing Rampage will be Cheerleader Melissa and Beth Phoenix. However, make no mistake... Even though the divas care a lot for their show, they care much more for the Unified Women's Championship. A win here will definitely put them into title contention in the future.

Bonus Match
Vladimir Kozlov versus R-Truth

LOUD RAP MUSIC MAKE RUSSIA MAD. ANNIHILATE THE TRUTH.

Six Man Tag Match
Brian Kendrick & Jay Briscoe & Mark Briscoe versus Jimmy Jacobs & Delirious & Festus

It's Tag Team & Jr. Heavyweight Action on Throwdown! Jimmy Jacobs has made it clear that there is nothing in the world that he wants except the FTW Jr. Heavyweight Championship. Well, except perhaps Lacey. But that's a different story for another time. The current Champion Brian Kendrick will align himself with new Throwdown competitors Jay & Mark Briscoe, who want to taste gold early in their FTW career. On the other side, Jimmy will align himself with two very strange men in Delirious and Festus. "Unreliable" probably isn't the right word here. I think "Unpredictable" is the right word. "Unstable" would work as well, but Vin Gerard and Colin Delaney have already taken that. Well this match is sure to be "Unpredictable" and "Unstable" when these six men step into the ring!

The Samoan Bulldozer has been... bulldozed. When Umaga stepped into The Undertaker's yard, the Deadman backed up his words and took him straight to Hell with a devastating Tombstone Piledriver. No one has heard a word about the condition of Umaga, but Throwdown General Manager JBL has been hearing a lot of words and earfuls from Larry Sweeney, Umaga's "Super Agent." Sweeney claims that the Undertaker utilized "questionable" tactics in their match on Throwdown and demands repayment. While JBL does not agree with these allegations, he does agree with the power of money, and he made a lot of it last night during the Umaga/Undertaker match. Seeing that The Undertaker is going to be his big ticket on Throwdown, he has decided to put the Deadman in the main event once again, this time against Larry Sweeney himself.

There has been nothing but outrage from the Sweeney camp, where Larry has been shouting words like "conspiracy," "unfair," and "corruption." Nevertheless, due to a stipulation in his contract, Larry Sweeney must step into the ring next week and face the Undertaker, whether he likes it or not. However, do not underestimate Sweeney. He has a professional wrestling background and has held titles throughout all of North America. If the Undertaker doesn't take Larry Sweeney seriously, Sweeney may just deliver a 12 Large Elbow straight into the Deadman's heart for the 1, 2, 3.

No one has heard from Chuck Taylor after... well... whatever the hell happened last night with Michelle McCool. However, Chuck will have his shot to impress in the Jr. Heavyweight division when he faces Hurricane Helms, Kofi Kingston, and Tyson Kidd in Fatal Four Way action. Will distractions or any possible injuries hold him back from competing at 100%? And what's up with Michelle McCool?

After enraging General Manager JBL, Jack Swagger has received what he wanted: A match. Only he'll be facing Friday Night Rampage's British Blue Bloods in a handicap match. Nigel McGuinness and DJ Gabriel have been opening eyes on Rampage lately after successful victories over Cryme Tyme under the tutelage of William Regal. Now Swagger will have to deal with all three of them (not to mention Layla from what JBL had to say) and he will either learn a cold, hard lesson about the wrestling business or will be able to teach JBL himself a lesson in that you shouldn't underestimate an All-American American.

The Briscoes were able to win a big Six Man Tag Match against Delirious, Festus, and Jimmy Jacobs when they aligned themselves with Jr. Heavyweight Champion Brian Kendrick. Jim Cornette has them motivated to get to the very top of FTW with all the wisdom he's attained over the years in the business... and lots & lots of beer, too. This Friday Night on Rampage, the Briscoes will compete against Shad Gaspard and JTG: Cryme Tyme. Their hands will be full, but Jim Cornette thinks they have what it takes to be one of FTW's premier tag teams. "They have it all! The will to win, athleticism, and chemistry. Boy, they sure don't see eye to eye all the time, but do any brothers ever get along? Thing is, when that bell rings, they're like a couple bulls in a china shop and they see RED. With my experience and my coaching, it won't be too long before they're seeing GOLD."

Word is that Jimmy Jacobs has spent the last few days cowering in fear, hiding in closets, and profusely apologizing to his manager Lacey. It's clear that Jimmy wants to pursue a different sort of relationship with Lacey, while Lacey wants it to remain strictly professional & business. However, if Jimmy continues to drop the ball, who knows how long any relationship will last between the two. Jimmy got distracted confessing his love for her, allowing Brian Kendrick and the Briscoes to walk away with their hands held high. Jimmy will have his chance for retribution when he tags with MVP to take on the Jr. Heavyweight Champion Brian Kendrick & the United States Champion Shelton Benjamin.

MVP wants that United States Championship around his waist ever since Shelton took it from him a few months ago. He reluctantly accepts this match, seeing how Jimmy faired in his last tag match. However, Jimmy tells FTW officials that Lacey has him motivated more than ever to focus and get after Brian Kendrick and take the title from him. We'll see what happens on an explosive episode of Throwdown!

It's clear after Throwdown that the Jeff and Matt Hardy war is far from over. However, before they can get their hands on one another again, Matt will take on Rey Mysterio in an exhibition match to kick off Throwdown. Rey was disgruntled that the Undertaker's match with Umaga took their main event match away from them and he has already targeted the Deadman and his Throwdown World Heavyweight Title, but he'll have to get past Matt Hardy first if he wants to get into title contention. The same can be said for Matt Hardy, who also wants a taste of that gold. After all, championships were what set off this jealousy war with his brother Jeff. He is tired of being overlooked and being known as "Jeff's brother." He wants to be known for his own successes & accolades, not being his brother's sidekick. These two are determined to be future champions on Throwdown, and only one thing is certain: This match is going to be great!

The dust from the epic Randy Orton/Chris Jericho battle has settled, with Randy Orton coming out on top as still the reigning Rampage World Heavyweight Champion. After his war with Triple H and the McMahon's, Randy Orton became a changed man. Maybe they beat some sense into his head or he realized how futile it all was, but he was a man that the fans hadn't seen in years. Now the FTW Universe is hoping that the same can be said for Chris Jericho. However, Randy Orton has other concerns and that is holding onto that Rampage World Champion. Ever since John Cena held it, the title has been bouncing back and forth from wrestler to wrestler, with never a stable home. Orton hopes to change that and bring prestige back to the belt and the Rampage brand.

Main Event
John Cena versus Kane

EXCUSE ME!!!!!

Rampage General Manager Vickie Guerrero has sworn to make John Cena's life a living hell. This is all because Cena made her life a living hell when he defeated her husband Edge in a brutal Hell in a Cell match for the Rampage World Heavyweight Title back at Death Before Dishonor. Those two words have probably been fried into Cena's brain, not to mention haunt his dreams. Vickie is still hell-bent on that mission, despite Cena coming out on top each time. Vickie has promised Kane future opponents that she can feed to him like fodder if he can win, as well as a title shot against Randy Orton. Cena will have his hands full when he faces the Big Red Monster in Rampage's main event.

Bonus Match #3
Doctor Insano versus Mike Knox

Doctor Insano debuted back at Holiday Havoc, scaring the CRAP out of everyone in attendance at the Pay Per View when he claimed that he was going to drop a nuclear bomb and then unleash his robot army to feast on their rotting corpses. It turned out that Mr. Insano (That's Doctor Insano, you idiot!) isn't quite as wicked and diabolical as he believes. He's actually quite a push over, but don't tell him that. While Insano's main fandom obsessions have always been about world domination and destruction, he's also been quite a fan of professional wrestling. Even though he "totally thinks that WCW dropped the ball on Raven and that they can suck his nuts," he does believe that the Raven's Rules idea was quite a great idea. After Vickie Guerrero's blessing, every one of Doctor Insano's matches will be No Disqualification & Falls Count Anywhere under the monicker of SCIENCE RULES. Mwaah Mwaah Mwaaaaaaah! And don't you even think of bringing up Bill Nye the Science Guy around Doctor Insano, or he'll wrap you in one of his electrical binding tentacle things, or perhaps blind you with his Gamma Ray that he received when he purchased a Snuggy. He'll unleash Science upon your candy ass, don't you understand?

Meanwhile... eh Mike Knox just wants to beat him up then go comb his beard.

Bonus Match #2
DJ Gabriel & Nigel McGuinness versus Goldust & Hacksaw Jim Duggan

The British Blue Bloods are riding high at the moment... err... or feeling rather chippy, I suppose would be more appropriate, after getting the opportunity to beat up a guy who claims to be an "All-American American" next week on Throwdown all because he was stupid enough to disrespect General Manager JBL. Not to mention that Wrestlemania 27 is going to be hosted in their own London, England. So Team UK is definitely feeling wonderful at the moment, especially with Nigel McGuinness and DJ Gabriel constantly climbing the ranks in FTW. On Rampage, they'll have to face Goldust and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who they consider to be nothing more than push overs. However, thye need to be careful. Duggan and Goldust are two very experienced competitors, and while they are merely a shadow of what they once were, they hope to return to their former status of superstardom.

Non-Title
Randy Orton versus Evan Bourne

Even though we haven't heard who Randy Orton's next challenger for the Rampage World Championship will be, Randy Orton still intends to be a fighting champion. After a hellacious war with Chris Jericho last night, one has to wonder how he will hold up, especially against a fireball like Evan Bourne who had the night off. Bourne has wowed fans with his amazing high-flying ability, but he has yet to prove himself with a big win. Could Evan Bourne actually upset the Rampage World Heavyweight Champion? If he can, he would definitely earn himself a future title shot.

Bonus Match #1
Chris Jericho versus Kevin Steen

Word going around the locker room is that Chris Jericho is one lousy son of a bitch. After losing to Randy Orton, people have said that Jericho looks as miserable as they've ever seen him. But hey, maybe that's what he needs! As they say: the night is always darkest before the dawn... or something like that. Jericho has been a pompous ass hole, walking with his head held high ever since he won the Rampage World Title over a year ago when he tapped out Dave Batista. Since then, he's embarrassed FTW legends, retired Tommy Dreamer and put FTW's third brand: ECW out of business, and had a huge war with Randy Orton over the Rampage World Heavyweight Title. But one night has changed the man completely. Will Jericho come out of this war like Randy Orton did with his war with the McMahons? Only time will tell. Meanwhile his opponent, Kevin Steen has looked up to Chris Jericho ever since he was a kid back in Montreal. There are only a select few "wrestling heroes" in Canada, and Chris Jericho is considered to be in that group by many, including Kevin Steen. However, Steen will have to look past that and not be awe-struck or he might just find himself in the Walls of Jericho. Even though this is a singles match, Steen still wants to prove to management that he and his partner El Generico deserve to contend for the Unified Tag Team titles. This is his and Generico's chance, so Jericho better be ready or he might just be in store for a devastating Package Piledriver.

Tag Team Contest
Shad Gaspard & JTG versus Jay & Mark Briscoe

JTG and Shad Gaspard are going to have to "MAN UP" if they want to defeat the Briscoes, who are red hot after a win on Monday Night Throwdown over Jimmy Jacobs, Festus, and Delirious. The Briscoes can almost smell a future Tag Team Title shot, but they will have to continue to win if they want that opportunity. Meanwhile, Cryme Tyme want to stop the Briscoes in their track and take their place. They then want to ride their momentum to a title shot against John Morrison & The Miz at Boiling Point. This match will have a great effect on the division's food chain and you'd have to believe that every tag team will have their eyes on this match

Opening Contest
Chris Sabin versus Jimmy Rave

You'd have to believe that Chris Sabin and his Murder City Machine Gun counterpart, Alex Shelley are feeling pretty miserable right now. They said on multiple occasions that being on a Wrestlemania card had been a dream of theirs as long as they can remember. Their dreams had been fulfilled indeed, but it turned into an all-out nightmare when they lost the Unified Tag Team Championships to John Morrison and The Miz. While Morrison and Miz kick back in their locker room and drink some Kool-Aid with their new belts, Chris Sabin will have to work two nights in a row when he faces The Embassy's Jimmy Rave. Prince Nana's Crown Jewel claims that he's not here in Full Throttle Wrestling to linger on the Middle Cards with all of the other "losers," and that he's gunning straight for the top. Well that's all fine and dandy, but he has to win a few matches first! Jimmy posted on his MySpace blog that if he sees one roll of toilet paper thrown into the ring during his "epic" entrance, that he's going to walk right out. We'll have to see how things unfold on an explosive episode of Rampage!

Opening Contest
Chris Sabin versus Jimmy Rave

This was an exciting and sometimes comedic match through and through. Jimmy had charged blindly to begin the match and paid for it when he was sent face first into the corner with a simple drop toe hold. It was all Chris Sabin from there, who hit some very explosive moves on Rave before sending him to the outside with a snapping armdrag. Sabin then nailed a gorgeous suicida, much to the displeasure of Prince Nana & The Embassy and the pleasure of the fans.

With momentum riding high, Sabin decided to tone it down a bit and tried to wear Rave down with some holds. He used the next few minutes to lock Rave into some painful submissions and dangerous pinning situations. Finally however, Rave rolled out of a pinning predicament and caught Sabin with a devastating knee strike that nearly pinned Sabin on the spot. The tides had turned and it was all Rave from here, where Rave hit a lot of his trademark moves including the "Ghanarhea" Golden Gate Swing. Rave now decided to wear down Chris Sabin, but Sabin was able to escape and fight out. It was now Sabin from here, who hit a lot of his own trademark moves until they went into an all-out seesaw battle. Sabin hit the ropes for a Springboard Tornado DDT, but Rave caught him with a boot to the head, stopping him in his tracks. He then locked in his signature Heel Hook, a move that had tapped out several of Ring of Honor's top stars during his tenure with the company. However, Chris Sabin was able to make it to the ropes before he could be added to that last of victims.

Outraged, Prince Nana & Claudio got on the apron to object with the referee. Meanwhile, Colin Delaney slid into the ring to try and blindside Chris Sabin, but Alex Shelley met him there with a HUGE Superkick! With Rave busy dealing with the referee and his own manager & partner, he was oblivious to the beatdown on Colin Delaney behind him. The Machine Guns hit a big kicking combination, which they ended with two sandwiching Super Kicks! Colin went down like a ton of bricks and Rave finally turned around. He charged and caught a distracted Shelley in the back with a clubbing forearm strike, sending him to the outside. Sabin was taken aback and tried to stop Rave with a boot to the gut, but Rave was able to catch it and sweep him to the ground. Rave then stepped over and locked in the Heel Hook once again. Nana and Claudio hopped off the apron and yelled at Chris Sabin to tap as the crowd urged him to fight on. Sabin tried to get to the ropes but Rave dragged him back into the center of the ring, where Sabin was forced to tap.

Winner @11:33 via submission: Jimmy Rave!

Tag Team Contest
Shad Gaspard & JTG versus Jay & Mark Briscoe

This was a fun match while it lasted. The Briscoes dominated the match from early on, beating the crap out of Cryme Tyme with forearms and punches. The Briscoes then tried to do what they do best and use their team work ability on Cryme Tyme when they tried to slam Shad and JTG into one another, however Cryme Tyme had different plans and reversed the Irish Whips, sending the Briscoes crashing into one another! The Briscoes yelled at one another for the mess up, but they had no time to delay because JTG was charging at them for some more offense. Mark then shoved his brother Jay out of the way, snatched JTG out of mid-air, and dropped him on his head with an Exploder!

Shad charged now, but was met with a solebutt that was perhaps a little low from Jay Briscoe. Jay told Mark to go to the outside as he heaved the 6'7" big man up onto his shoulders. Mark sprang up onto the ropes and dove across the ring for the Lariat, but he missed! Mark went spilling to the floor from all that momentum while Shad rolled off of Jay's shoulders and nearly took his head off with a Lariat! He covered but only got a two count for it. JTG pulled himself to his feet, weak at the knees from that brutal Exploder a moment ago. Shad heaved Jay up onto his shoulders as JTG hit the ropes. They then hit their signature Samoan Drop/Neck Breaker combination for the 1, 2, 3!!!

Winners @ 1:29 via pinfall: Shad Gaspard & JTG: Cryme Tyme!

Bonus Match #1
Chris Jericho versus Kevin Steen

This match was all Chris Jericho. Jericho didn't try to go for anything fancy, he didn't try to wear him down, he just kicked the hell out of Kevin Steen. He punched, elbowed, chopped, and kicked Steen all around the ring, ignoring the crowd's chants of "MR. WRESTLING" in his blind rage. After two minutes, Jericho finally performed a wrestling maneuver when he picked up the big man and slammed him hard to the mat. Jericho went for a cover but only got a one count. This triggered an explosion from Jericho, who mounted Steen and began pounding away on the head of his fellow-Canadian. The ref had to pull Jericho off of Steen, but Jericho still charged. He met Steen with a dropkick, snapping Steen down. Jericho grabbed the legs for the Walls of Jericho, but Steen instinctively fought it off. Steen turned his hips this way and that, until he finally kicked Jericho off. Jericho bounced off the mat, then bounced right up and met Steen with a painful boot to the head. Jericho then hit the ropes for the Lionsault, flipping back off the second rope in a moonsault, but there was no water in the swimming pool and he missed! Jericho held his chest in pain as Steen came to, rolled Jericho up in a school boy, and picked up the victory with the 1, 2, 3! Kevin Steen just beat Chris Jericho!! Two upsets in a row! What in the hell is going on?!

Winner @ 4:56 via pinfall: Kevin Steen!

Non-Title
Randy Orton versus Evan Bourne

Randy Orton and Evan Bourne wrestled a great match here, easily the match of the night so far. It was clear that Bourne was nervous, and Orton was able to dominate Bourne when Bourne tried to do a test of strength. When Punk told Bourne that strength & power wasn't his game, Bourne changed his strategy and picked up the pace of the match with some Lucha and Puroresu influences. Bourne hit several arm drags on Orton, then finished it off with a big Flying Solebutt. Orton fell to the mat as Bourne readied himself for his beautiful standing moonsault, but Orton knew his stuff and rolled to avoid the impact. However, Bourne anticipated it, landed on his feet, and flipped back into the moonsault again, this time nailing it.

Orton went to the outside to strategize. When they met in the ring again, Orton was able to take the match to his own pace with a few European Uppercuts. Orton grounded Bourne with one of his nasty headlocks, which had Bourne on the ground, unable to hit any of his explosive moves for over a minute. Bourne battled out and his some kicks, but when he rebounded off the ropes, Orton nearly snapped Bourne in half with his signature backbreaker! Orton got a 2 count, but continued to work on Bourne, this time with his stomps to all of Bourne's body parts. A minute later, sensing an opening, Orton went for his punt to take Evan Bourne out once and for all, but Bourne was able to avoid it and use Orton's momentum against him by sending him spilling to the floor. Bourne then hit the ropes for a gorgeous plancha to the outside.

Bourne and Orton just barely made it back into the ring before the ten count, with Bourne now in control. Bourne was able to score several near-falls, including a spot where he flipped back over Orton and caught him in a nearly-perfect school boy. However, Orton was able to get right up, yank Bourne to his feet, and nail an RKO that sent Evan Bourne crashing brutally to the mat face-first! Orton covered, sure that he had the win, but Bourne put his foot on the bottom rope just in time!

JR: Well Randy Orton got sloppy there. He's the World Heavyweight Champion and should know better to let a firecracker like Evan Bourne be in the position for a rope break. Orton needed better ring positioning right there.

King: But if that hasn't fired up Orton to put Bourne away once and for all, then I don't know what will!

Orton charged once more for the punt, but Bourne was able to roll out of the way! Orton had left himself open and Bourne swept the legs, taking Orton down when he was off-balance. Bourne then hit the top rope and nailed Orton with his diving knees, driving the World Heavyweight Champion back down into the canvas! Bourne went for the cover, but once again Orton was able to kick out! Bourne yelled "THAT'S IT!" He then lifted Orton up and nailed the Pumphandle "Here It Is" Driver on Orton, once again nearly defeating the Rampage World Heavyweight Champion! Bourne signaled for the finish and went to the top rope as the crowd got to its feet in anticipation. Bourne then defied the laws of physics with his gorgeous Shooting Star Press, but Randy Orton rolled out of the way! Bourne landed agonizingly on the mat with nothing but the unforgiving canvas to break his fall. Evan pulled himself onto all fours, holding his chest in pain as Orton charged and nailed Bourne with the punt! Bourne's head was snapped upwards and back, as Orton dragged him into the middle of the ring for the 1, 2, 3.

Winner @ 23:16 via pinfall: Randy Orton!

Bonus Match #2
DJ Gabriel & Nigel McGuinness versus Goldust & Hacksaw Jim Duggan

Duggan and Goldust were murdered. Gabriel and McGuinness unmercifully battered the old-timers. Gabriel sent Hacksaw to the outside when he nailed a diving European Uppercut from the second rope. Nigel caught a Goldust-thrown punch, grabbed the arm, then yanked him straight to the ground effortlessly. Gabriel heaved Goldust into his arms as Nigel hit the ropes. DJ then brought him down into a Manhattan Drop as Nigel came across with a Lariat that nearly took the gold one's head off! DJ then merely put his foot on Goldust's chest and covered, doing a ridiculous dance while the referee counted to three and Nigel looked at his partner with an amused expression on his face.

Winners @ 00:47 via pinfall: DJ Gabriel and Nigel McGuinness: The British Blue Bloods!

Bonus Match #3
Doctor Insano versus Mike Knox

This match was over quick. Insano nailed Knox repeatedly with the copy of Phantasmagoria, expecting the horror he experienced with the game to have the same sort of effect on Mike Knox. However, what Doctor Insano did not know, was that Mike Knox's brother in law played Curtis Craig. Knox lifted Insano up and dumped him into the barrell of X. X. X., which turned out to be nothing but old vegetable oil. Insano pulled himself up, spitting and sputtering and crawling and heaving. When Knox did the chase after him, Insano pulled out the Long Graby Poky Thing and gave Knox a purple nurple! Knox yelled out in pain, holding his throbbing nipples. Insano picked up the light saber and smacked it across Knox's head, where it shattered into a million plastic shards. However, it had no effect on Knox who hit Insano with a big boot a moment later and pinned him for the 1, 2, 3.

Winner @ 2:33 via pinfall: Mike Knox!

Main Event
John Cena versus Kane

quote Match Notes:

If Kane defeats John Cena, he earns a future World Heavyweight Title match. If John Cena defeats Kane, Kane will have to kiss Vickie Guerrero's ass next week. If he refuses, Vickie Guerrero promises that she will fire Kane.

The match began with Kane hitting Cena with punch after punch. Cena fought back, but it was no good as Kane blocked Cena's strikes and punched him down to the ground. Kane went to the top rope and nailed Cena with his Lariat, but it only earned him a two count. Kane threw everything he had at Cena, dropping him face and throat-first across the top rope and turnbuckles. He caught him with several uppercuts and strikes, nearly pinning the former champion when he slammed Cena down with a Samoan Drop. Kane dropped Cena down into a back breaker then began to stretch him out, bending his very vertebrae back across his knee. The crowd cheered Cena on, and he finally got the momentum he needed to fight out of it with several knees. He hit the ropes and caught Kane with a shoulder tackle, but he merely bounced off of him like he hit a brick wall! Cena picked himself back up and charged once again with the shoulder tackle, but to no avail! On the third time he charged, but Kane stopped him in his tracks when he caught him in the Chokeslam! Kane lifted him up but Cena slipped out at the last moment! He booted Kane in the gut and heaved him up onto his shoulders, then nailed the FU! He covered:

1... 2... KANE KICKS OUT!

Cena was thrown violently off of Kane, who sat up, his teeth grinding and his eyes full of fire and fury. Kane pulled himself up, slightly dizzy on his feet as Cena charged for some sort of offense. However, Kane caught him in the Chokeslam once again, this time nailing it! Kane covered:

1... 2... Cena kicks out just in time!

Kane can't believe it! He signals for the finish, running his thumb across his throat as the crowd cheered Cena on. He heaved Cena up onto his shoulders, about to drop him on his head with the Tombstone Piledriver. However, Cena wriggled free, dropped behind, tripped the Big Red Monster, and locked in the STF-U! Kane reached for the ropes, but ultimately it was just too much pain. He tapped out, making John Cena the winner as cameras in Vickie Guerrero's office showed her leaping out of her wheel chair and screaming at the television monitor vehemenently, slightly manically.

Winner @ 8:03 via submission: John Cena!

Last night on Rampage, Randy Orton was able to defeat Evan Bourne and keep his Age of Orton rolling. However, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase are not impressed. Next week they will team to take on Randy Orton and Evan Bourne in tag team action. Rhodes and DiBiase want to prove that they are the future and the best 2nd-Gen wrestlers in FTW, and not Randy Orton. Bourne wants to redeem himself after losing to the person that will ultimately become his tag team partner, showing persistence not only to Randy Orton, but also to his new mentor CM Punk.

In an e-mail to FTW management, Punk wrote: "Bourne has a lot of potential, but sometimes he just struggles with nerves. You have to understand that Bourne and I come from the same roots, where at most we would wrestle in front of 800 people. When I came to Full Throttle Wrestling, I got advice and training from some of the greatest wrestlers of all time, ones that were more than used to big crowds. Not only that, but I had a lot of time to adjust to the change. Meanwhile, Evan's been thrown right in the limelight. So I can understand, but that still doesn't change anything. If he wants to be one of the top guys in FTW, then he has to win some matches. Next week, it's time for redemption. Cody and Ted better watch out."

Speaking of redemption, next week the Murder City Machine Guns will try to get some when Alex Shelley battles Claudio Castagnoli. The Embassy are riding high after The Crown Jewel Jimmy Rave beat Chris Sabin, with a little help from Colin Delaney of course. When their manager Prince Nana was asked for comment, he said: "THEY KNOW NOTHING OF SHRIMP COCKTAIL! NOW GET THAT CAMERA OUT OF ME FACE, AH!" Shelley and Sabin are looking to get right back into tag team title contention, but with The Embassy gaining more & more attention (and wins), one might think that the party is finally over for the Machine Guns.

After losing to Cryme Tyme, Jay and Mark Briscoe began to fight, blaming one another for the loss. It was clear that they weren't on the same page, and now their manager Jim Cornette wants to clear the air and get rid of all the distractions & tension......... by having them beat the holy hell out of each other. While management, wrestlers, and fans alike (particularly tag team wrestlers) are confused by this solution, Vickie Guerrero knows when a match is going to get good ratings, and two brothers kicking each other's ass is sure to get good ratings. Next week it will be Briscoe versus Briscoe, and everyone is predicting a hellacious war. But what no one can predict is if Cornette's solution will work. What if nothing is solved from this match? What if distractions & tension remain? Will the brothers disband the tag team because of this match, or will they become even stronger from adversity? Tune in next week to find out!

After losing to Randy Orton at Wrestlemania 26, Chris Jericho has fallen from greatness. After Kevin Steen used the tights to earn an upset over Chris Jericho, Jericho finally snapped. After assaulting an official and locking him in the Walls of Jericho, Chris Jericho has been suspended indefinitely from Full Throttle Wrestling. We wish Mr. Jericho luck and will offer him any help in recovering, but warn him that if he puts another foot out of line, the consequences will be far more severe.

Chris Jericho was unavailable for comment.

You know, not everything in FTW is about revenge & hatred. Next week Tyler Black will face The Heart Break Kid in singles competition. The match will not be out of hate or vengeance or even potential title contention, even though a win here will certainly earn the victor a potential future title shot. This match is purely out of respect for one another. Tyler Black has looked up to Shawn Michaels ever since he was a kid (and let's face it, he's pretty much still a kid with how young he is) and Shawn thinks of Tyler Black as a younger version of himself. Next week they will battle in what should be an amazing match-up.

Vickie Guerrero threw everything against John Cena when she booked him in the main event against the Big Red Monster. However, instead of adding tag team partners and making it a handicap match, she almost guaranteed that John Cena would walk away the winner. While John Cena barely walked away at all, he did walk away the winner. Not only did Kane not earn his title as promised if he won, he will now have to pucker up and join Vickie Guerrero's Kiss-My-Ass Club or else be fired. What will Kane's reaction be? Will he actually kiss the General Manager's behind on live national television? This is Kane we're talking about here, ladies and gentlemen. The man that has set people on fire and electrocuted their genitals when they did him wrong, and now Vickie Guerrero wants him to get down on his hands and knees and pucker up. Will he actually do it? One thing is for sure: You can't miss what's going to happen next week on Rampage!

Non-Title
The Undertaker versus Larry Sweeney

After receiving an earful from Larry Sweeney about The Undertaker defeating Sweeney's client, Umaga, JBL decided to punish Larry Sweeney by booking him against noneotherthan The Undertaker. Sweeeney has been outraged by JBL's decision, but his contract dictates that he must step into the ring with the Deadman. Even though Sweeney has had years of professional wrestling experience, will it be enough to defeat the Undertaker, or will he just be another victim who stepped into his yard and Rest In Peace?

Special Attraction
Jeff Hardy versus Vladimir Kozlov

This match has major title implications. If Jeff Hardy can get past Vladimir Kozlov, he will be skyrocketed into Throwdown World Heavyweight Championship contention. The same can be said for the Russian Cyborg, who looks to continue annihilating ignorant smelly Americans all the way to the World Heavyweight Title.

Battle Royal - Number One Contendership For The Unified Women's Championship
Featuring divas from Monday Night Throwdown!

The Divas of Monday Night Throwdown will compete in a battle royal, where the winner will face the Unified Women's Champion Melina at Boiling Point and one other opponent in a Triple Threat Match. This Friday Night on Rampage, there will be a second Divas Battle Royal, featuring the Rampage divas. At the end of this week, we will know the two representatives and number one contenders that will face Melina for her championship at the Pay Per View.

Fatal Four Way
Hurricane Helms versus Chuck Taylor versus Kofi Kingston versus Tyson Kidd

Like all of the other matches here on Throwdown, this one will also have major title implications, this time on the Jr. Heavyweight Championship division. This is one of the loadest Throwdown cards in history, after all. While Brian Kendrick has to deal with Jimmy Jacobs and MVP in a tag team contest, he better get a shower real quick and grab a monitor to watch this match and scout potential future opponents. Hurricane Helms is still trying to gain attention from management after surgery and a grueling recovery. Tyson Kidd wants to prove that the Harts still reign supreme, using his experience from the infamous Hart Dungeon to lead him to greatness. Kofi Kingston wants to prove to JBL that he belongs on Throwdown and that the trade from Rampage was more than worth it. Meanwhile, no one is really sure what's going through Chuck Taylor's head. The last time we saw him, he was being tortured by Michelle McCool. Well he be in any sort of condition to compete, and what will be his mindset? With these four men, however, you're sure to get an explosive match.

4-on-1 Handicap Match
The British Blue Bloods: DJ Gabriel, Nigel McGuinness, William Regal, & Layla versus Jack Swagger

This match was signed after JBL felt disrespected by Jack Swagger's attitude when he barged into JBL's office. JBL promises that Swagger will learn a lesson about the professional wrestling business in this one, but could we be in store for an upset? Jack Swagger is an All-American American, as well as a former ECW Champion. He's proved he's more than capable and has a bright future ahead of him. If the Brits aren't careful, Swagger may catch one of them by surprise with a quick pin. Remember, it only takes three seconds to win a match in Full Throttle Wrestling. The Blue Bloods don't really have much to prove. They're riding high and are good friends with management on both brands. They've even secured a Wrestlemania in England next year. However, William Regal wants Nigel McGuinness and DJ Gabriel to improve. He sees potential in both of them and wants them to pave the way for future English pro wrestlers. So will Swagger be nothing more than a punching bag for the Blue Bloods, or can he overcome and teach JBL a lesson that you can't overlook greatness?

Tag Team Match
MVP & Jimmy Jacobs versus Shelton Benjamin & Brian Kendrick

Jimmy Jacobs hopes to rebound after embarrassing his manager Lacey when he was too busy flirting with her instead of focusing on the matter at hand, which cost them the match. Brian Kendrick is riding high, in more ways than one but also because he's the Jr. Heavyweight Champion. Kendrick was the first champion when the belt was created at the end of last year, and he wants his long reign to continue. Meanwhile, MVP is still upset that he hasn't gotten a rematch after Shelton Benjamin beat him for the United States Championship. Shelton has ducked and weaved through challengers and oppositions, sometimes even getting himself disqualified just so he enlongate his title reign. Well JBL has sought out to make the champions of Throwdown fighting champions and has his eyes set on MVP as a future contender for Shelton's belt. One thing is for sure: Jimmy better win of Lacey will be VERY unhappy.

Opening Contest
Matt Hardy versus Rey Mysterio

It's clear after Throwdown that the Jeff and Matt Hardy war is far from over. However, before they can get their hands on one another again, Matt will take on Rey Mysterio in an exhibition match to kick off Throwdown. Rey was disgruntled that the Undertaker's match with Umaga took their main event match away from them and he has already targeted the Deadman and his Throwdown World Heavyweight Title, but he'll have to get past Matt Hardy first if he wants to get into title contention. The same can be said for Matt Hardy, who also wants a taste of that gold. After all, championships were what set off this jealousy war with his brother Jeff. He is tired of being overlooked and being known as "Jeff's brother." He wants to be known for his own successes & accolades, not being his brother's sidekick. These two are determined to be future champions on Throwdown and they will not let the other stand in their way of destiny.

Note from CM: OHAI! Yes, this Throwdown is going to be posted into two parts. This isn't me returning to my old format of posting it in parts or anything, this is just me wanting to get something out there. The ear infection kind of halted this diary, and I apologize for that. It's mostly gone now and I'm back in the mood for writing. I felt discouraged by my lack of progress in the diary, so I just wanted to get this out there to spark some energy back into it. This is far from dead. I have loooads of things that I want to get to with FTW. I hope you all enjoy and look forward to Part 2 in a couple of days!

Opening Contest
Matt Hardy versus Rey Mysterio

As Rey was busy taunting, Matt tried to blindside Mysterio but it was no good as Rey could see him coming. Rey caught him with a boot then a diving huracanrana that sent him into the ropes right for the 619! Rey charged, but Matt hastily rolled out of the way and the predicament. Matt waited on the outside to catch his breath and take the match to a pace of his own liking, but it didn't exactly work because when he came in Rey caught him with a drop tope hold followed by several impactful moves. Rey made a mistake however and didn't try to wear Hardy down, and met the outside barricade with a crashing thud when Matt shoved him off. Matt went to work on Rey on the outside, employing dirty tactics to gain the advantage and change the tides of the match. At this point, Matt had been working on Rey on the outside of more than three minutes, breaking the count when necesary. But when he rolled Rey into the ring, he began barking with a female fan that was dressed just like his brother. When Matt turned around, he had given Rey ample time to recover. Rey met him with a boot that sent him back into the barricade as Rey charged back across the ring for momentum then dove out with a flipping plancha!

When the match found its way back into the ring, Rey gained several nearfalls on Hardy, especially when he reversed a Wheelbarrow Suplex into a Bulldog. Rey then called for the finish as he went to the outside for a Swan Dive maneouver, but Matt caught him flying over and locked him into an Armbar! Matt wrenched away as Rey screamed out in pain and the crowd rooted him on to get to the ropes. Finally Rey got to the ropes, but the damage had been done and now Matt was targeting it. After nailing a brutal backbreaker that he had learned from his match with Roderick Strong in Ring of Honor, Matt nailed a Twist of Fate! Matt went for the cover, thinking that he had the win in the bag, but Rey kicked out! Matt couldn't believe it! He yanked Rey up and hit another Twist of Fate, then lifted him up and nailed it again for good measure. When he pinned a limp, motionless Rey Mysterio, the crowd was silent knowing that the match was over.

But then Jeff Hardy appeared from out of the crowd when he jumped over the guardrail! The crowd cheered at Jeff's appearance, including some girls freaking out and orgasming right then and there. Matt had lifted himself off of Rey, now looking down at his younger brother and yelling at him to go to the back. Matt then took his opportunity to flaunt at his brother for beating him last week, completely oblivious to Rey who was stumbling to his feet behind him. Rey then shook the cob webbs off, charged, and met Matt in the back with a dropkick that sent him into the ropes throat-first! Rey charged and nailed the 619! Matt staggered to his feet, holding his throat and the back of his head at the same time as Rey sprang to the top and leapt across the ring, nailing the West Coast Pop for the uno, dos, tres!

Winner @ 16:29 via pinfall: Rey Mysterio!

Tag Team Match
MVP & Jimmy Jacobs versus Shelton Benjamin & Brian Kendrick

This was a very balanced match through and through. Both teams were evenly-matched against opponents of similar weight and stature, but once the smaller men (Jacobs & Kendrick) had to step into the ring with the bigger of thw two opponents (MVP & Benjamin), they struggled. This soon became the strategy, with the teams looking to gain the advantage in size and strength. However, Jimmy took Lacey's advice by using his size and quickness to his advantage to gain an upperhand on T-Bone Benjerman. Shelton staggered back after several elbow strikes from Jimmy, who then charged across the ring for a cross body block, perhaps over the top rope. However, Shelton had other things in mind and instead caught him then dumped him over the top rope carelessly. Jimmy went crashing to the floor in a bad way, leaving him open to a flying Shelton Benjamin when he staggered back to his feet.

Even non-Shelton fans (everyone but ZTR) had to appreciate how smoothly Shelton was able to glide over the top rope. Team Benjamin & Kendrick then worked over Jimmy, but Jimmy was able to escape from Shelton's clenches and avoid a charging Brian Kendrick, who ended up striking his own partner with a Wheel Barrow Kick. Jimmy then dove across the ring and tagged out to MVP, who came in on fire. He beatdown on both Kendrick and Benjamin, who were now arguing about the colission earlier. MVP sent Kendrick crashing into the corner with an Overhead Belly To Belly Suplex, then backdropped Shelton over the top rope with a back body drop! Jimmy, who had just recovered, came down on Shelton from the second turnbuckle run with a brutal diving back senton! The risk hurt Jimmy, but hurt Shelton more. In the ring, MVP nailed the Playmaker, covering for the One... Two... Thrr---no! Apparently Kendrick still had some fight in him. Wanting to get some revenge for the mauling he had received throughout the match, Jimmy slid into the ring and nailed his own version of the Sliced Bread #2: (a.k.a. "The Kendrick") The Contra Code!

The remaining adrenaline in Kendrick's body caused him to get to his feet, but it wasn't enough because he collapsed down onto his knees in exhaustion in pain. MVP then came charging off the ropes and nailed SHIIIIINING BLAAAAAAAAACK!

OH MY GOD!

And yes, I refuse to call it "The Driveby." *bleep* you...

It's SHIIIINING BLAAAAAAACK!!!

MVP then dropped on top of Kendrick for the 1, 2, 3!

Winners @ 15:56 via pinfall: MVP and Jimmy Jacobs!

Battle Royal - Number One Contendership For The Unified Women's Championship
Featuring divas from Monday Night Throwdown!

This was a quick, but fun match. The contestants seemed to weirded out by ODB's antics, which were so distracting that they all pretty much stared around instead of trying to eliminate anyone. So instead, it was the Bella twins who stepped out and gave ODB a Double Dropkick that sent her down. The rest of the divas must have snapped awake at that moment, because the next moment half of the divas were dumping OBD over the top rope! ODB was out, then with most of the divas crowded around the ropes, several more joined her with divas banking in on a wide open opportunity.

Bobby Cruise: ODB, Brie & Nikki Bella, erm... Jillian Hall, and Christy Hemme have been eliminated!

Ultramantis Black: Ring positioning is key in a battle royal, and those unlucky divas have just found out why!

Gail, Maria, Michelle, Natalya, Lacey, and Maria remained. For the next few minutes, the divas wrestled with one another to try and dump one another over the top rope in quite a struggle. After attempting to float over Natalya after she was whipped into the corner, it was the daughter of Jim The Anvil Neidhart who caught her and dumped her over the top rope, eliminating Michelle McCool. Maria charged at Natalya, trying to seize on the opportunity when her back was turned, but Natalya caught her with a boot to the chest that stopped her dead in her tracks. She then dragged her into the middle of the ring and locked in the Sharpshooter, really leaning back making the pain Maria was feeling absolutely excruciating. However, Natalya's back was turned and Lacey couldn't ignore it. She grabbed Nattie by the back of the tights and dumped her over the top rope for the elimination. Lacey took some time to gloat down at Natalya, which was perhaps too much time because Gail came from behind her and dropkicked her in the back, sending her through the middle ropes to the floor for the legal elimination!

Bobby Cruise: Michelle McCool, Natalya, and Lacey have been eliminated!

It was now down to Maria and Gail. Maria was still injured after that nasty Sharpshooter, so Gail used the time to wear Maria down with a couple of submission holds and quick strikes she could utilize to a grounded opponent. She then decided to pick up the pace of the match for more damage and eliminate Maria once and for all. She whipped Maria into the corner and came charging for a knee, but Maria ducked out of the way! Maria then nailed a beautiful headscissors and several armdrags, before slamming Gail Kim down with a body slam. Maria and Gail were down, exhausted as the crowd cheered Maria on. They exchanged strikes, but out of nowhere Gail caught her with an Enzugiri to the back of the head! Gail tried to eliminate her by dumping her through the middle ropes, but Maria held on, with only one foot hitting the floor. Gail turned around and found Maria still holding on. She growled, then charged to knock her down for the win, but Maria met her with an elbow that dazed her, but not for long. Finally, Gail countered the elbow with a dropkick, eliminating Maria and securing herself a spot in the Three Way at Boiling Point. I'd love a three way with---oh nevermind...

Winner @ 7:49 via elimination and the new Number One Contender to the Unified Women's Championship: Gail Kim!

Special Attraction
Jeff Hardy versus Vladimir Kozlov

This match began at a fiery pace, with the fans urging Hardy on as Kozlov went to work with more clubbing strikes to the back of Hardy. After missing with a Lariat following the Irish Whip, Hardy rebounded off the opposite ropes for more momentum and caught Kozlov with a dropkick to the back that sent Kozlov through the middle ropes, to the outside! Hardy wasted no time and dove over with a plancha, but there was no water in the swimming pool as Kozlov moved out of the way, Hardy crashing hard to the arena floor. Kozlov wore Hardy down on the outside, slamming his back into the edge of the ring and the posts, then tossing him unceremoniously over the announce table into the laps of Ultramantis Black and Matt Striker! Kozlov taunted in the ring, to the dismay of the fans. ELIMINATE SILLY AMERICANS.

Hardy barely beat the count of ten, making it in at eight but he was in no position to turn the tides of the match. Right now all he wanted to do was survive. Kozlov wanted to put away this SMELLY CRACKHEAD AMERICAN right then and there, and clasped him into a nasty bear hug. The fans cheered Hardy on, and finally he was able to break free with several punches and then desperately, a rake to the eyes. Jeff hit the ropes and nailed two successful clotheslines, then a brutal Sling Blade! Hardy covered, but Kozlov kicked out at one. Hardy tried to wear Kozlov down with a grounded headlock, but Kozlov was back on his feet in seconds, carrying Jeff Hardy on his back who would not release the hold. Kozlov slammed him back into the turnbuckles, immediately breaking the hold. Kozlov then Irish Whipped Hardy so hard into the opposite corner that the ring shook. This seemed to amuse Kozlov, as he cracked a sadistic grin and repeated the move three more times. But on the final attempt, Hardy used the momentum to his advantage and nailed the Whisper In The Wind!

Hardy covered, but Kozlov kicked out just in time. Hardy signared for the finish and nailed the Twist of Fate, covering once more but Kozlov getting his foot on the rope just before the three count. Hardy yanked off his tank top and threw it into the crowd as he headed to the top rope for the Swanton while the crowd all around him to got to its feet and cheered in anticipation. But when he dove off, Jeff's back slammed into the tree trunk-like legs of Vladimir Kozlov, who got them up just in time! Hardy rolled off, his back in excruciating pain after all of the damage it had sustained in the match. Kozlov staggered to his feet, then shook off the cobbwebbs and slammed the crown of his head right into the heart of Jeff Hardy! Hardy went down, flat on his back from the blow as Kozlov yanked him back up and nailed the AMERICAN SCUM ANNIHILATOR! Kozlov pinned Hardy, merely sitting on his chest with his arms crossed as he glared around at the crowd as the referee made the count for the 1... AH 2... AH 3!

Winner @ 8:19 via pinfall: Vladimir Kozlov!

Fatal Four Way
Hurricane Helms versus Chuck Taylor versus Kofi Kingston versus Tyson Kidd

The bell rang and all four men went to work. In this match no tags were necesarry and all four men were legal to be in the ring at the same time. However, this meant each man had to be especially careful in case someone got pinned as the first person to get a pinfall or submission would be declared the winner. And with no countouts, there were loads of dives in this one. After Kofi nailed a suicida on Tyson Kidd that sent them halfway up the rampway, Hurricane Helms was out next with a high cross body off of the turnbuckles, taking the other two men out with him. Chuck looked around at the crowd and shrugged as he hit the ropes and the other three men got to their feet, groggy and oblivious to the oncoming Chuck Taylor. Taylor soared over the top rope with a flipping plancha and sent the other three men crashing to the floor.

Sexy Chucky T was in control now, working down on Kofi Kingston with strikes and questionable tactics. After ducking Kofi's signature corkscrew kick, Chuck yanked Kofi back to his feet and nearly broke his jaw with the Sole Food! He earned a one count for his efforts, with Tyson Kidd breaking up the count. Helms was in now, giving Tyson several nasty elbow strikes straight to the sternum of Kidd. Helms hit the ropes for added momentum, but was caught with a brutal kick right to the solar plexus! Kidd went for the cover, but now it was Taylor breaking it up.

The four men exchanged some explosive and impactful moves, including a sequence where all four nailed some of their signature moves. After nailing the "Boom Boom" Leg Drop on Chuck Taylor, Kofi was met with a Superkick from Kidd. Immediately following that when Kidd fell to one knee, Helms nailed him with the Shining Wizard! Somehow getting strength to get back to his feet, Taylor booted Helms in the gut and sent him crashing into the corner with a Powerbomb! All four men collapsed to cheers from the crowd. Kofi was up first and exchanged strikes with Kidd near the ropes. Taylor was up next and came charging at the two, but was backdropped over the top rope where he crashed violently to the floor. Helms was the last to get up, and he grabbed BOTH Kofi Kingston and Tyson Kidd around the throat, attempting to Chokeslam the two men!

Ultramantis Black: You would think that Helms would learn a thing or two after all of these yeeeears...

Matt Striker: Don't underestimate him! He has superhero-like power!

But Helms was more like Clark Kent than superman when he was met with double dropkicks. On the outside, Taylor staggered to his feet as a kid in the audience really began to badger him. Taylor couldn't resist, he turned around and began yelling at him. When the kid shoved him however, Chuck lurched forward and punched the kid right in the face! The crowd gasped at what they had just seen and began to boo Chuck Taylor as Taylor began to yell at the rest of the fans and then threatened to hit them too! Michelle McCool marched over and nearly ripped Chuck's ear off when she yanked it and led him away from the ring and up the rampway, possibly to teach him a lesson as Chuck's protests were unheard by her. In the ring, Kidd moved out of the way of a leaping Kofi Kingston, whose high-jumping ability came back to bite him in the ass. Kidd shook off the cobbwebbs and nailed his signature Swan Dive Elbow Drop! Chuck broke free from McCool's clutches, but it was too late as Kidd made the cover for the 1, 2, 3.

Winner @ 15:35 via pinfall: Tyson Kidd!

4-on-1 Handicap Match
The British Blue Bloods: DJ Gabriel, Nigel McGuinness, William Regal, & Layla versus Jack Swagger

Jack fought valiantly, but in the end it was just too much. They beat him down and then took turns having fun with him. After nailing a diving European Uppercut, Layla, Regal, and Gabriel held Swagger in place as Nigel charged and nearly took his head off with the Lariat. Just so Layla could get some hits in, the male counterparts of the Blue Bloods grinned widely as they held Swagger as Layla slowly climbed to the top rope, nearly losing her balance at the top. She then came down with a clubbing blow on Swagger's nose, breaking it instantly. Swagger stumbled back, in obvious pain as Regal charged with a nasty knee lariat. Regal then pounded Swagger down into submission, where he locked in the Regal Stretch for the submission victory while the rest of the Blue Blood slapped and taunted Swagger in the hold.

Winners @ 3:41 via submission: William Regal, Nigel McGuinness, DJ Gabriel, and Layla!

After Batista did the unthinkable and turned his back on the FTW Universe, Throwdown General Manager John Bradshaw Layfield quickly sent out e-mails to the Full Throttle Wrestling Championship Committee requesting the match for Boiling Point. AND IT'S ON! While we do not fully understand the circumstances of Dave Batista's actions this past week, the Championship Committee and other officials are looking into it for any foul play behind the scenes. Larry Sweeney was booked by JBL to face The Undertaker, a fitting punishment after "disrespecting the boss." However, JBL announced that the match would have a stipulation, where he then went on to reveal himself as the Special Guest Referee, being very lenient in regards to Sweet and Sour Incorporated who utilized dishonorable tactics against our World Champion.

FTW.com received a statement from a Championship Committee member, who requested to be referred to as Anon. It reads: "This is a new era of professional wrestling. We will not abide by such intolerable actions. Fines have been sent out to the likes of Bryan Danielson, Gail Kim, and Dave Batista, who factored into The Undertaker's defeat. Furthermore, I am giving Jimmy Jacobs a Jr. Heavyweight Championship match at Boiling Point cuz he's a sexy mother *bleep*er."

While these investigations go on and fines begin to arrive in e-mail boxes, very few people in the company feel that anything is going to come of it. JBL has been doing a wonderful job on Throwdown, turning a show which was otherwise rampant chaos on a weekly base, into a show where you expected the wrestlers to abide by the rules for the most part. We here at FTW.com feel that this is most likely the biggest reason why the actions from Batista on Throwdown were so shocking and has everyone on the internet talking.

No one is quite sure what to make of Batista's actions. Some people have guessed that this was all set up by JBL to continue his mission of making The Undertaker's live a living hell. If that is the case, the investigations may lead to charges and possible removal from his General Manager position. "Regardless of the job JBL has been doing on Throwdown, if he perpetrated this incident, then I have no doubt that his removal will be swift and quick. As that sexy mother *bleep*er Anon has already told you, this is a new era of professional wrestling and we will not tolerate such actions. Now excuse me, I'm going to go have sex that Anon, because he just gets me so riled up sometimes," was what Executive Vice President Stephanie McMahon had to say to us when we contacted late last night. We did not receive a response to our question about what the Rated R Superstar Edge had to say about her husband, Triple H and their family.

Others have guessed that Batista merely walked out there to send a message to the Deadman, and that he's only getting Sweeney's hopes up and will stab him in the back at the opportune time. Perhaps some fans are getting their hopes up if they're thinking that, as Batista's celebration with Sweet and Sour Incorporated and the General Manager seemed genuine.

The investigations will continue and no doubt, this story will continue to unfold as the weeks go by, but for right now and all underlying stories aside, this whole match is all about Batista stepping into the Undertaker's yard. The night after Wrestlemania, the Undertaker told the fans that if you stepped into his yard, your only destiny were the gates of Hell. He also promised never to lose the World Heavyweight Championship, quite a mission to undertake, pardon the pun. The Undertaker is really going to have to work hard if he wants his reign to get off to a successful run, because the Animal wants his title, not to mention the dozens of others that are gunning for him. Batista will be his first true test, and at Boiling Point, with all of the things that have happened so far and of the things that are going to come of this, IT'S GOING TO BE A WAR!

Very briefly, we mentioned Edge's comments about Triple H and his wife & family. If you missed it on Throwdown, the entire segment is up on FTW.com. We warn you that what the Rated R Superstar had to say may not be appropriate for children. As mentioned early, we did not get a statement from Stephanie McMahon about this issue, nor have we received word if Triple H will be at next week's Throwdown. Edge promises that if Triple H doesn't confront him in the middle of the ring, then he is going to go after him and his family. The last we were aware of, Triple H was at home with Stephanie, helping her take care of their children, including their newborn, Vincent Shawn Hickenbottom Helmsley. Stephanie is looking great, and as she said in her statement posted earlier, in good enough shape to cheat on her husband to sleep with Anon. While her main priority (other than screwing Anon) is taking care of the children, she's also running her side of the business out of their Connecticut home. No one is sure what sort of state of mind or condition Triple H must be in, as he hasn't wrestled in months. You'll have to tune in next Monday to see if Edge will live by his words if Triple H doesn't show up.

All that pollution is so pretty. GOIN' DOWN, LAKERS.

We have some Boiling Point updates for you all. With Gail Kim winning the Divas Battle Royal on Throwdown, she goes into Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles as two of the Number One Contenders for the Triple Threat Match that will be contested for Melina's Unified Women's Championship. On Rampage, the other Number One Contender will be crowned in another Divas Battle Royal.

The Championship Committee has decided that a pinfall victory over Brian Kendrick has earned Jimmy Jacobs a Jr. Heavyweight Championship match at Boiling Point. Management has been on the record in saying that they see a lot of promise in this young man and could very well be a contender for an even more prestigious belt in the future. For now though, Jimmy is hoping to impress his crush Lacey and beat Brian Kendrick, who has held the Jr. Heavyweight Title for a very long time now.

MVP tagged with Jimmy Jacobs in their match against Shelton Benjamin and Brian Kendrick, so MVP feels hopeful that a United States title shot is within his grasp as well. Shelton Benjamin has been ducking out of title shots for a long time, but in his last defense against Carlito, he looked solid despite some questionable tactics at the end of the match.

Speaking of Carlito, he is looking to rebound after the defeat. Management hasn't specified, but they have guaranteed Carlito a spot in a match at Boiling Point.

And finally, there's the Throwdown World Heavyweight Championship match between The Undertaker and Batista. As if that match needs anymore hype in the first place! There are VERY few tickets still available, so hurry onto FTW.com or Ticketmaster so you don't miss this once in a lifetime event!

Check FTW.com (come on, play along 'ya dimwits and go to the main page) for the updated Boiling Point card with new headers featuring the FTW divas!

No one backstage has seen or heard from Chuck Taylor after losing a Fatal Four Way last night on Throwdown. It was revealed on Throwdown that Chuck Taylor and Michelle McCool were an item, which very few people were aware of surprisingly with how fast gossip travels. Michelle has vowed to turn Chuck into a good man, while Chuck just wants to keep his nipples and other limbs in tact during Michelle's idea of capital punishment whenever Chuck crosses a line. Also, we here at FTW.com would like to send our condolences out to the Harrison family. Chuck Taylor laughed at a cancer-stricken eleven year old named Timmy, who comitted suicide hours later. Chuck Taylor has rightfully been punished by spending an eternity in the fires of Hell... While we didn't get to hear about what sort of punishment he received from his girlfriend or his thoughts on the Fatal Four Way, he did respond to our e-mail regarding little Timmy Harrison's death. His response: "LMAO."

Also involved in that match was Tyson Kidd, who came out the winner despite great performances from Kofi Kingston, Hurricane Helms, and even Chuck Taylor if you exclude his SHENANIGANS~! Even though he won a big match in the Jr. Heavyweight division Tyson is currently out of the running for the division's belt since Jimmy has been declared the Number One Contender. However, he'll want to continue putting in solid performances so he can one day get that shot. We were unable to contact Kidd, but we were able to get a statement from his girlfriend Natalya:

"Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised! It figures, mainstream American wrestling has always been against us Canadians. Then if we have ties to the Hart family, we're practically taboo! Well whatever, that's okay. Tyson Kidd is a very patient man. After all, it took FTW years to sign him in the first place! So he'll wait and continue to tear the Jr. Heavyweight division apart until he finally gets his shot and takes that belt off of Brian Kendrick, so that dancing little Kurt Cobain better get some practice in before their inevitable match! Meanwhile, Tyson and I will be doing some practicing of our own in the bedroom."

We then proceeded to throw up. Feel free to do so as well.

Last night, Bobby Dempsey made his unofficial debut during his interview with Maria Kanellis. However, we never even got to hear a single word from Bobby Dempsey as he was cut off by Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards of the American Wolves. Next week on Throwdown Dempsey will go one on one with Edwards, who wants to make short work of him before going on and challenging the likes of the Briscoes in the tag team division to make a name for themselves.

Speaking of Maria, there are rumors circulating around the internet that she is in talks with Playboy about another spread, this time for one that doesn't totally suck. Maria has posted a poll on her website for people to vote Yes or No (it is an overwhelming 99% to 1%, which can only lead to one thing: What G-Tard voted "No" on Maria Kanellis posing for Playboy again??? Damn it, Zhou Tai Rocks.)

After being brutally attacked by his brother, Matt, Jeff Hardy remains in the hospital under stable condition. Matt rammed a steel ladder repeatedly into the back then finished it off by driving it into the side of his head. Word is that he has sustained an injury to two disks in his vertebrae and has a concussion. We'll update you as news comes along.

Some people wondered where Rey Mysterio, good friend of Jeff Hardy and small boys was during the attack, thinking that he could have prevented it We have not received a statement from Rey Mysterio regarding this issue, but he is signed to appear next week on Throwdown in Washington D.C.

Add Jack Swagger to the list of people we haven't been able to contact. Swagger was destroyed by the British Blue Bloods in a 4-On-1 Handicap punishment match booked by JBL after JBL felt disrespected by Jack's attitude. Jack sustained a broken nose, but shouldn't miss any time due to the injury.

We were able to contact Vladimir Kozlov... but we didn't understand anything he said. After a big win over Jeff Hardy and R-Truth the previous week, Kozlov may be returning to the success he had last year when he was fighting for the belt with the likes of Edge and the Undertaker.

And that wraps up this edition of Fallout. Make sure to tune in for next week's Monday Night Throwdown, as well as this Friday for Friday Night Rampage which is going to be a great show. Check back in a couple of days for the full card.

Kane joins the Vickie Guerrero Kiss-My-Ass Club

Vickie Guerrero gave the Big Red Monster all the motivation he needed to do her bidding, promising him a future World Title shot against Randy Orton if he won, and promising him that he would have to kiss her ass if he lost. Well Kane fell short against John Cena, who escaped from a Tombstone Piledriver and locked him into the STF-U for the submission victory. Now Kane will have to get on his hands and knees and kiss General Manager Vickie Guerrero's rear-end or else, in her own words, be fired. This is Kane we're talking about. Chokeslams & Tombstone Piledrivers, Hell Fire & Brimstone, and the man who hooked Shane McMahon's family jewels up to a car battery and electrocuted him all for trying to defend his mother (whom he just got done with when he drove her head into the steel entrance way with the Tombstone Piledriver). However, Vickie is blinded with her power and ego, and will stop at nothing to stop at taking out John Cena. If you slow her down from accomplishing that, then you have to pay.

Main Event
Shawn Michaels versus Tyler Black

Tyler Black has desperately wanted some competition ever since he was traded to Rampage over a year ago. Tired of rotting away on the undercards and never getting the chance to shine, he requested this match with Shawn Michaels to Vickie Guerrero, who granted it. This match does not have anything to do with hatred, betrayal, or revenge, and even though it could name a future Number One Contender, it's not about the Rampage World Heavyweight Championship either. This is about Tyler Black, an upandcoming star in FTW wanting to prove himself worthy of being in the upper echelon of wrestlers by taking on one of the greatest wrestlers of all time in Shawn Michaels. Shawn himself wants to impress, as he's only been back for two months after surgery to repair a broken arm he sustained in a match against Nigel McGuinness, also an upandcomer. Shawn's years are catching up to him and with so many fresh faces joining the roster within the last two years, people have doubted whether or not the Heart Break Kid will have "it" anymore. A win over against one of the youngest and most talented upandcomers in Tyler Black could prove that he's still the Show Stopper and still deserves the adulation of the fans and the respect of his fellow wrestlers.

Tag Team Match
Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase versus Evan Bourne and Randy Orton

Tyler Black is not the only one that wants to prove that the young guys can wrestle just as well as the vets, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase of Legacy still want to prove that they are the future of FTW, especially after getting kicked to the side by their former leader Randy Orton. Legacy feels that their time spent with Orton was a complete waste, where they were simply cows set out to slaughter whenever their leader would get himself in a spot of trouble. They felt that their talent was never utilized or put to good use, nor did they learn a lick from Randy Orton. The Rampage World Heavyweight Champion views their burning hatred of him with a bit of amusement, truth be told. Orton doesn't think they are worth his time and wants to focus on his Age of Orton and keeping the World Championship around his waist. Orton had a hell of a match last week against Evan Bourne, who will now find himself teaming with the champ to take on Legacy who consider Bourne to be a joke, despite Bourne putting on a better performance against their former leader than either Ted DiBiase or Cody Rhodes. Maybe Orton and Bourne have the edge in sigles competition, but this is right up Legacy's alley since they were one of the last tag teams to hold the Rampage Tag Team Champions before they were unified with the Throwdown belts. For Legacy, this is their chance to prove themselves and get some revenge on Randy Orton. For Randy Orton, this is just wasted time. For Evan Bourne, this is a chance to get some retribution and to prove to his mentor CM Punk, his partner Randy Orton, and all of his supporters that his recent successes are because of his unlimited talent and not because of a bit of luck.

Bonus Match #2
CM Punk versus Nigel McGuinness

Before he joins his protege Evan Bourne for his big match against Legacy, Punk will have to deal with Nigel McGuinness. In an online interview with Candice Michelle, Nigel admitted a bit of annoyance with the way he's been booked as of late, usually in matches to soak up TV time or to do a General Manager's bidding. The Blue Bloods feel that Nigel could be a future World Champion, and Nigel feels that his talent isn't being utilized when he's booked in a four-on-one handicap match against Jack Swagger. Well now Nigel will get his chance when he takes on CM Punk, who is proving himself week after week that he should be the next challenger for the Rampage World Heavyweight Title. If Nigel can score himself a win, maybe he can open some eyes and secure himself some better opponents in the future.

Battle Royal - Number One Contendership For The Unified Women's Championship
Featuring divas from Friday Night Rampage!

We already know 2/3 of the contestants in the Unified Women's Championship Triple Threat match at Boiling Point. This match, featuring the Rampage Divas, will name the third contestant. With established divas such as Mickie James, Beth Phoenix, and Maryse with newly-signed divas such as Cheerleader Melissa and Sara Del Rey who want to prove themselves, this should be a great match! With all these lovely ladies in the same ring at the same time, someone's going to need a bucket of water standing by to cool off Jerry Lawler. The Unified Women's Champion Melina and the Throwdown Number One Contender Gail Kim will certainly have their eyes on this match.

Bonus Match #1 - Pure Wrestling Rules
Claudio Castagnoli versus Alex Shelley

Alex Shelley wants to earn a rebound win after his partner Chris Sabin fell to Jimmy Rave one week ago. In the Sabin-Rave match, interference was abundant, with Prince Nana and the Embassy resorting to anything to earn their Crown Jewel Jimmy Rave a win, while Alex Shelley had to battle off all of their goons to save his partner. There's a reason why this match is so important to both sides, because the Murder City Machine Guns and Jimmy Rave & Claudio Castagnoli of the Embassy are front runners for a title match against the Unified World Tag Team Champions, John Morrison and The Miz. The Guns, with their popularity both with the fans as well as their fellow wrestlers in the back, are the favorite. Well the Embassy want to prove everyone wrong by going 2-0 against the Machine Guns and moving ahead of them in the long line of tag teams that want a shot against the champs. With all of the rulebreaking, management has decided to book this match under Pure Wrestling Rules, not only because of the outstanding ability of Alex Shelley & Claudio Castagnoli, but also to contain the mayhem and chaos that will undoubtedly ensue whenever Prince Nana and his Embassy goons are thrown into the mix. A second referee will be at ringside in case the main official misses a call. Visit the Idiot's Guide To Full Throttle Wrestling on FTW.com, or else wait until next week where all of the rules of the match will be reviewed.

Grudge Match
Jay Briscoe versus Mark Briscoe

The Briscoes and their manager have decided to settle this issue the good 'ol Southern Way, by throwing the dogs at one another and letting them beat the tar out of each other. Jay and Mark began to argue and fight with one another after several mistakes during their match with Cryme Tyme, where they lost a lot of their momentum and steam going into Boiling Point. Prior to the match, they were actually ahead of both the Murder City Machine Guns and the Embassy as contenders for John Morrison and The Miz's title belts, but after the loss to Cryme Tyme and now their fight, they have dropped off considerably. However, Jim Cornette feels its for their own good that they set this aside now, as he's seen what minor issues can do, even to the greatest of tag teams. And Jim Cornette knows a thing or two about tag team wrestling. We have yet to see Jay or Mark in singles competition here in Full Throttle Wrestling, only tag team matches, so it will be interesting to see how they handle themselves in this environment where it will be brother against brother. The only question is, will this method work? What if nothing is settled and the Briscoes are ruined because of this match? There's only one way we'll find out, and that's tuning in next week on Friday Night Rampage which should end up being one of the most explosive episodes yet!

Last year we were eliminated from tournament competition when America's representative, Edge, used a steel chair against Ultimo Guerrero. Every country competing in the Global Wrestling Summit has signed a petition to ban Edge from competing in this year's show, and agreed that any country that uses shady tactics will be hereby banned the following year from competing. That said, Mexico's has formed a great squad of representatives. Due to injuries, Mistico, one of our fastest-rising stars, has been unable to make it to previous Global Wrestling Summits. Well Mistico is 100% healthy and prepared to win the World Cup and bring it back to Mexico. We do have one concern however, as Ricky Banderas (who will be representing Mexico, despite being born in Peurto Rico) is facing Cibernetico in a No Rope Barbed Wire Match to settle a year-long feud. We have to wait and see how their blood lust for one another will effect Team Mexico's performance at the Summit.

I'm proud to announce that joining our Full Throttle Wrestling American counter-parts will be noneotherthan Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's Kurt Angle. Who better to help represent the United States of America than a man who already did it and won an Olympic Gold Medal with a freakin' broken neck? That's right, absolutely no one. Not even you, Kanyon.

I believe the rest of the world underestimates just how important the Global Wrestling Summit is to the Japanese people. For two years running, Japan has taken the crown and with new developments, I have faith that we shall make it three in a row. Next week in Osaka, Japan will have a "Wrestling Summit" of its own when participants from all Japanese wrestling promotions will compete on a mega show to be held inside the Osaka Dome. The show is headlined by Kenta Kobashi and Mitsuharu Misawa versus Toshiaki Kawada and Keiji Mutoh, and tickets have already sold out. Also, we've received word that FTW's American squad is bringing in TNA's Kurt Angle. So what? I have even bigger words. Earlier today, I received confirmation from New Japan representatives that Brock Lesnar will step back into the ring and represent Japan in the upcoming Global Wrestling Summit---not the United States. Let's see if anyone can top that.

So everyone thinks that they got the best team in this years GWS, eh?

Well *bleep*-A-Doodle-Doo!

We got William Regal, Nigel McGuinness, and DJ Gabriel, you dumb *bleep*!

That's right, Ed. And joining them this year is Doug Williams!

Prince Devitt!

Harry Smith!

Jonny Storm!

Paul Burchill!

Spud!

...

...

Ah, *bleep*ing hell, not Spud...

We don't stand a chance, do we?

Nope.

I am here at the world-famous Lotus Temple, praying for Team India's success in the ever-approaching Global Wrestling Summit. Joining The Great Khali is fellow Indian wrestler, Sonjay Dutt. Even though we are still seeking our own team, we welcome Sheik Abdul Bashir and the returning Muhammad Hassan from Iran into our team. Bashir was born in America but has aligned himself to Iran with his Iranian heritage due to the treatment he's received from Americans ever since he was born. I can relate to Sheik and have received the same prejudices and hatred based on the color of my skin. We seek to show the world that the Middle East is not only the future of the world, but also of professional wrestling!

NO. For the last time, despite rampant internet rumors, the representatives from United States and Canada will not be merging into one "super-team." Believe it or not, Canada is a sovereign nation and our people are proud to be Canadian. We are not Diet America or America Lite. We are Canada, damn it.

Guten tag!

Team Germany & Switzerland are proud to welcome Team Italy to our European squad! Joining myself and Ulf Herman will be Santino Marella, Tony Mamaluke, and Little Guido! Then, coming out of retirement for this Global Wrestling Summit only is Alex Wright! For far too long, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy have not been able to do well in the Summit because there simply aren't many of our people wrestling. We hope to make our people proud and inspire future generations by doing well in the tournament. Because we are very European.

I'M TIRED OF THESE MOTHER *bleep*IN' SNAKES, ON THIS MOTHER *bleep*IN' PLANE!

Oops, sorry. Is this mic on? Who authorized this? SHOOT HIM!

*blast*

Good, hehehe, verry good! I apologize, I have been watching silly American movies. But I am tired of something... I am tired of the ignorant Yanks and Japs winning the World Cup every year! They do not appreciate Russian technology and culture! The ten McDonalds restaurants here in Russia still sell misery and shame in a plastic wrapper between two, soft and steamy capitalistic buns! REVEAL YOUR SECRET RECIPE SO WE CAN RESTORE OUR NATION AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Err, I mean, be an international ally that will work towards world peace. ANYWAY! Joining ME, Vladimir Putin to combat the ignorant Americans will be both of the Kozlov's! Alex Kozlov, who can wrestle and fly with the best wrestler any other country can offer! And of course, our weapon of mass destruction, the Russian Cyborg Vladimir Kozlov! The man who will soon be he Throwdown World Heavyweight Champion! You're going down, America! MWAHAHAHAHA!

*thunder claps somewhere off in the distance*
