Your hosts are Ben Masters & Big Bank Barfield.

The April 3, 2010 edition of Rampage Pro Wrestling opened up with Ben Masters & Big Bank Barfield showing us some interesting footage. Mr. Jones, who was recently ousted from the Apocalypse, was seen participating at a wheelchair basketball event. This event was strongly supported by Rampage Pro Wrestling and its owner, Dr. Johnny Gayton. The Apocalypse was well aware of Jones' intention to attend this event. This, along with the fact that Jones went behind the back of Rob Adonis to get an eye procedure performed by Dr. Gayton, made the Apocalypse extremely skeptical of his loyalty. But the straw that broke the camel's back was an incident that took place on last week's show. We go back to footage of last week where the Usual Suspects were defending the RPW Tag Team Championship against the Rampage Wrecking Crew. Mr. Jones entered the ring behind the referee's back, but accidentally speared A.J. Steele instead of his intended target. Despite retaining the titles after the Exotic Ones interfered, the Suspects brutally turned on Jones, effectively kicking him out of the Apocalypse.

Masters & Barfield also recap the video of A.J. Steele stopping the Apocalypse from entering the ring when Rob Adonis called for them during his RPW Heavyweight Title match against Bull Buchanan last week. We are also reminded of Adonis' angry reaction after his loss, undoubtedly angry with Steele's actions. Is there about to be serious trouble within the Apocalypse?

Bobby Moore vs. Caleb Konley

The in-ring action on this week's show kicked off with RPW's hot up-and-comer Caleb Konley and RPW newcomer, Bobby Moore. Moore is an established wrestler in the southeast, but RPW is a completely different animal, and his first test is a challenging one in the form of Konley. Despite being new to RPW, Moore came out extremely aggressive against Konley, catching him very off guard. Moore clearly entered this match using an all-or-nothing strategy right from the get-go. Konley eventually got back on track and fought back to hit his finishing move, the home wrecker, for another impressive victory.

WINNER: Caleb Konley

RPW cameras find Rob Adonis & A.J. Steele backstage having a very heated discussion. Rob asks what A.J. was thinking when he stopped the cavalry. A.J. reminds Rob that he said he was going to take care of Bull Buchanan all by himself because of how insulted he was. A.J. facetiously says he was just making the rest of the Apocalypse well aware of his wishes in case he just happened to forget to tell the rest of the group he wanted to do it alone. Rob backtracks and says he just wanted the Apocalypse to come out and watch how he was going to finish off Buchanan. After A.J. makes a sarcastic quip, Rob gets angry and says from now on, when he issues an order it will be carried out. A.J. angrily reminds him that he doesn't take orders, he takes requests. A.J. walks off while Rob is still seething.

The Exotic Ones vs. The Rampage Wrecking Crew

Another chapter in this heated rivalry is being written with this latest encounter. On last week's show, the Exotic Ones cost the Rampage Wrecking Crew the RPW Tag Team Championship, interfering in their match against the Usual Suspects. After the contest, both teams brawled. This week, Charlie Cash is still accompanying the Exotic Ones, this time wearing lipstick. Both teams continued right from where they left off with an intense battle. Despite the absence of Pocket Change, outside interference still swayed the outcome of this one. When Kyle Matthews had Tommy Too Much rolled up for a definite victory, referee Jeff McGowan was trying to break up Simon Sermon and Frankie Valentine outside the ring. With McGowan's back turned, Cash entered the ring and threw some sort of powder in Kyle's eyes. When McGowan turned around, Tommy had reversed the roll-up to get yet another dirty victory.

WINNERS: The Exotic Ones

The story didn't end there, as the Exotic Ones continued the attack after the match. However, their plan didn't work as they thought, as the returning Dr. Johnny Gayton emerged, fresh off a two-week suspension from RPW Commissioner Nick Patrick. Gayton had his steel chair with him to run off the Exotic Ones and Cash. Gayton then attended to Matthews' eyes.

Jeremy Vain vs. Colt Derringer

Jeremy Vain entered this contest with the leader of the Apocalypse, Rob Adonis, at his side. When Colt entered the ringside area and saw who was in Vain's corner, he had a little back-up of his own in the form of Mr. Jones. Vain was able to keep control of Derringer, thanks to dirty tactics from Adonis. At a key point, Vain randomly hit a baseball slide on Mr. Jones at ringside. When Adonis jumped up onto the apron, Derringer slingshot him into the ring. As referee Dustin Robinson attempted to pull Derringer off Adonis and get Adonis out of the ring, Vain proceeded to sneak up behind Derringer. However, Mr. Jones recovered, entered the ring, and hit a devastating spear on Vain. As the referee got Adonis out of the ring, Colt went to the second rope for his patented leg drop. However, a previous knee injury Adonis inflicted on Derringer looked to reappear, as Derringer lost his balance from the rope. He recovered quick enough to hit a lethal falling headbutt to get the victory, but favored his knee afterward.

WINNER: Colt Derringer

RPW Heavyweight Championship: Cru Jones vs. Bull Buchanan ©

Despite selling out and joining the Apocalypse, his victory over Bull Buchanan for the vacant RPW Intercontinental Championship back on February 5 earned Jones another shot against Buchanan for the RPW Heavyweight Championship. This decision was made in the interest of fairness by RPW Commissioner Nick Patrick. Both men know each other so well at this point that it's nearly impossible for either man to get an upper hand for an extended period of time. After watching Cru hit a low blow on Bull out of referee Jeff McGowan's view, J-Rod had enough and went to the ring to attack Cru. He had to be restrained by all RPW referees.

WINNER by Disqualification: Cru Jones

Backstage after the match, J-Rod continued to have words for Cru. All of a sudden, a huge big boot comes out of nowhere and strikes J-Rod in the face. The boot belonged to Buchanan. The show closes with Buchanan reminding J-Rod and everyone else in the RPW locker room to never interfere in his matches.
