Jonny Fairplay

versus

"Troy Boy" Troy Knight w/Tonya

Singles Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

Writer: Ed Walker


[The crowd are falling silent as nothing much is happening in the arena, the camera focus' on JP and Sully who are chatting away as usual.]

JP: It's been a very strange night here on Monday Night Dynamite, we're seeing a lot of new wrestlers coming through.

Sully: Yeah, the old guard appear to be taking a week off...with the exception of Troy Knight.

JP: Knight is always doing the opposite to everyone, just when the top line are taking a week or two off he comes firing back.

Sully: He won't be able to fire against Jonny Fairplay, there is a man who is so fired up it's unbelievable.

JP: Fairplay has a lot to prove, I am surprised that the management have let him even stay in the MWF after what he tried to do as part of DECENT.

Sully: Or even, what he did as part of DECENT, he was a major factor in turning Troy into something that he's not.

JP: Troy Knight was the "Troy Boy" but he's losing more and more of that famous gimmick....

Sully: ....Fairplay now appears to want to draw out that "Troy Boy" once again, it's amazing how quickly some people can change their ways.

JP: I'm just looking forward to seeing Troy Knight back inside the ring, he has an incredible talent that is often overlooked. He steps into that ring and suddenly the entire mood of the crowd changes, they all unite to will him on.

Sully: That's because they are fickle, who would really cheer a gay arrogant bastard like Troy Knight? He uses his family to gain his popularity.

JP: There is just something about the Troy Knight show that appeals to everyone, you have to be impressed with the way he's handeled all these allegations and protests.

Sully: He's come through it all but I think he's lost that fire and determination...

JP: ....oh no, Troy hasn't lost any of that, with Weinberg working behind the scenes I think if anything he's become more of a man than he was before and he has the passion and drive to become the MWF World Champion.

Sully: The old Troy Knight would never have considered the MWF World Championship a possibility...

JP: ....that's because this is a focused Troy Knight that is fighting not just for himself but for the fans, it's personal now and at the same time these fans want to see the reality of Troy Knight as the MWF World Champion.

[The crowd begin to stir as Peter Santos steps into the centre of the ring, he looks around and the lights begin to dim slightly. More and more of the crowd are upstanding as Peter Santos bellows.]

Peter Santos: This match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first, weighing in at 245 lbs., from Manchester, England, Jonny Fairplay!

[The sounds of MOP's "Cold as Ice" hits the PA system and the crowd are on their feet, jeering and hurling abuse at Fairplay as he makes his way through a wall of steam. He flexes his muscles and as he leans backwards a set of white fireworks dazzle the crowd by exploding around him. Fairplay snarls and makes his way down the ramp, he looks smug as he ignores the fans who are attempting to reach him over the barrier.]

Sully: This is a man that we all need to try to understand, he was abused by DECENT and thrown away in a move that could haunt them.

JP: I don't think anyone believed him for a second when he proposed a team to Troy Knight, we all know that Troy Knight is an individual.

Sully: He sure is an individual but without his team he wouldn't be half the man he currently is.

JP: That team does help Troy Knight, they always have and they always will be the biggest part of his life.

[Jonny Fairplay has reached the ring and he climbs into it, he walks to the turnbuckle and the crowd nearby raise their arms and shout abuse at Fairplay as he taunts at them. Peter Santos looks on before turning and talking to Charles Galliant, Peter Santos raises the mic to his lips once more as Fairplay's music begins to fade.]

Peter Santos: And the opponent, weighing in at 220 lbs., from Chicago, Illinois, accompanied by Tonya, "Troy Boy" Troy Knight!

[The fans explode as "Larger Than Life" by the Backstreet Boys hits the PA system and red and orange lights begin to glow in the entrance way...they throb gently in time with the music. On the MaxiTron pictures of Troy Knight and the beautiful Tonya are shown and the crowd rise to their feet as the former MWF Television Champion walks out from behind the lights. He takes a few steps further forward than Tonya and raises his arms to the crowd who cheer loudly, Troy Knight is dressed is skimpy trunks, white with a yellow stripe down the side.]

Sully: He really does think he is the best thing since sliced bread but Troy Knight is going to find that once again Jonny Fairplay will beat him, just like he did before.

JP: Knight must be a little worried, Fairplay was able to beat him last time with the backing of DECENT...but now Fairplay has the backing of something altogether far more powerful.

Sully: What's that?

JP: His own soul. Fairplay wants to beat Troy Knight so badly that he will go to any length to do it...and that means Troy Knight could be in real danger tonight.

Sully: Those pretty boy looks could be erased with the boot of Jonny Fairplay.

[Troy Knight strolls down the entrance ramp, with Tonya on his arm. She smiles and absorbs the wold whistles of the crowd, a few highly charged male fans are screaming and shouting in her direction and one of them faints as he blows a kiss. Troy Knight ignores all the noise and he stares at the ring where Jonny Fairplay is standing. Knight touches his forehead to show where a small number of stitches were drawn, Fairplay is shouting abuse at the "Troy Boy". Troy Knight walks over to the ring steps and the crowd cheer as he climbs up them and enters the ring, Knight tells Tonya to wait on the outside as he slips between the ropes.]

JP: I hope Jonny Fairplay realises that Knight hasn't been in the ring for a while and that could really work in Fairplay's advantage.

Sully: It's been almost a month since we saw Troy Knight inside the squared circle, he missed out on March Madness.

JP: The promotional tour of the UK certainly had other merits for Troy Knight, but I think he was a bit disappointed not to be a part of March Madness, I was surprised to see him dropped from the event.

Sully: The fans have been waiting to see him wrestle for a long time and now they have their chance.

[Troy Knight takes slow steps into the centre of the ring, nodding his head in time to the music. He pushes a stray strand of hair back from his eyes and stops dead in his tracks to stare Jonny Fairplay straight in the face. Fairplay takes a step forward and Troy Knight takes another step forward, the crowd cheer as the two men both step up so that they are a few milimetres apart. Referee Charles Galliant calls for the bell as the Jonny Fairplay is doing some serious trash talking. The microphones are unable to pick up on what he is saying but Troy Knight's face is going a deep shade of red, Knight bites his lip and clenches his fist.]

JP: This looks interesting, is this Jonny Fairplay's attempt at foreplay?

Sully: Ah! JP! Do you have to put such horrible images into people's heads? His name is Jonny Fairplay, not Jonny Foreplay!

JP: I'd love to be able to hear what is being said up there...whatever it is then it sure doesn't look good for Troy Knight.

Sully: It's something personal by the looks of it.

[The crowd react with a huge cheer as Troy Knight has had enough and he lashes out, scratching his fist across the face of Fairplay. "Troy Boy" grabs Jonny Fairplay and looks for a headlock, but Fairplay ducks straight out of it and comes round behind Troy Knight and smashes the former MWF Television Champion down to the canvas with a strong clothesline to the back of the head. Knight sprawls face first onto the mat, he holds his nose and checks it for bleeding, he smiles as there is not a trace of blood. Fairplay grabs Troy Knight by his hair and yanks him sharply to his feet, the crowd jeering as Troy Knight is thrown onto the ropes. Knight grabs them and he is laying on the second rope, Fairplay comes running and drops a leg onto the back of Troy Knight's neck...the crowd scream as Knight rolls forwards and out of the ring, holding his neck.]

JP: Ouch! Troy Knight's just been strangled by those ropes...I can't believe it.

Sully: That looked pretty painful, but what a great move by Jonny Fairply....he is using every single advantage he can find in this ring tonight.

JP: He's not messing around, he's back in this ring on a mission.

Sully: I thought Knight was on a mission, but it looks like he's going to fail miserably.

[Charles Galliant calls for Fairplay to stay in the ring, but Fairplay pushes away Galliant and climbs from the ring. He drops to the outside of the ring and comes after Troy Knight. "Troy Boy" has managed to get back to his feet quickly, but there is no time to regroup as Fairplay comes straight after him and Troy Knight is sent crashing into the ring steps! The thud of steel echos around the arena and Tonya nearby screams as Knight is a crumpled heap on the floor. Fairplay leans on the ring apron and drives a boot hard into the shoulder of the former MWF Television Champion...causing Troy Knight to shout out with pain. Charles Galliant is counting, reaching........3........Troy Knight is hauled back to his feet and Jonny Fairplay this time sends Troy Knight running towards the ringpost, Knight manages to get a hand out and stop himself from smashing into the steel pole. He turns to face Jonny Fairplay, the crowd on their feet cheering on "Troy Boy".]

JP: Knight saved himself from a head on collision with a rather large amount of steel there.

Sully: Tonya's heart was in her mouth for a moment there, Knight would of been a total wreck.

JP: His shoulder appears to be giving him a few problems...

Sully: ...wasn't he out with a damaged shoulder for a while?

[Knight's damaged shoulder doesn't affect the grapple he manages to lock onto Jonny Fairplay...an elbow from Fairplay can't stop Troy Knight and he russian leg sweeps Fairplay onto the concrete, Galliant reaches .......6......and Troy Knight rolls back inside the ring, and takes a breather as Galliant counts with Fairplay stranded outside the ring.......7...........8.........Fairplay rolls over and hauls himself to his feet, the crowd shouting abuse at him as he manages to make it to his feet.........9........he climbs back into the ring and is grabbed by Troy Knight who irish whips him, Fairplay comes back and is hit with a jump swinging DDT from Troy Knight, "Troy Boy" covers as the crowd count with Galliant.....1......2!]

JP: Oh my! Troy Knight is not going down and out just yet....only a two count there.

Sully: The trick here is for Fairplay to keep his composure, Troy Knight will be doing everything and anything to try and put Jonny off his game.

JP: The MWF requires you to have nerves of steel, otherwise guys like Troy Knight will pick your brains apart and fuck with your head.

Sully: I'm worried that Fairplay is going to get frustrated, he was in control and he had Troy Knight on the run and now he has to ram home that advantage.

[Jonny Fairplay picks himself up, he looks at Charles Galliant but the signal of a two count comes again and Fairplay picks up Troy Knight. He irish whips the former MWF Television Champion into the ropes and the crowd explode as Troy Knight leaps up out of nowhere for a dropkick on Fairplay....but the former DECENT member is equal to the challenge and the crowd jeer as Troy Knight finds himself reversed into a dragon screw and his leg is slammed into the canvas. Jonny Fairplay crouches down and waits for "Troy Boy" to stand up...the crowd are cheering and chanting for Troy Knight and he rolls over holding his leg.]

JP: Fairplay is getting ready for something here....

Sully: ...he can smell that victory is not far off, like a dinner wafting from mother's kitchen.

[Troy Knight pushes his hair away from his eyes as he stands up...Fairplay begins to come forward and the crowd gasp as Troy Knight turns round, only to be met with the boot of Jonny Fairplay as Knight is caught full in the face with a massive superkick. Knight falls backwards, his arms spread wide, onto the canvas and Fairplay comes after him and hooks the leg, Galliant counts.....1......2...! The crowd explode with relief and cheers as Knight kicks out, Jonny Fairplay rolls away and slams the canvas in frustration. Troy Knight stays down on the canvas as Tonya on the outside, cheers for him and claps her hands, the crowd follow the handclap and suddenly seven thousand people are cheering for the former MWF Television Champion to stand up.]

JP: This crowd in Leeds want only one winner here tonight and Troy Knight seems determinated to give them that...everytime Fairplay thinks he's got the win Troy Knight is able to respond.

Sully: I'm not looking forward to the response from Troy Knight, seven thousand people want him to win tonight and Fairplay will have to be made of strong stuff to deny them that victory.

JP: Look at the face of Troy Knight, I don't think I've ever seen him look angrier.

Sully: Oh, he's mad.....he might be Troy Knight the "Metro-Sexual" but tonight he is Troy Knight the mad son of a bitch!

[Troy Knight slowly begins to clamber to his feet, he keeps checking his mouth for blood and eventually he spits out some crimsom onto the canvas. Jonny Fairplay is furious with Charles Galliant, he turns round and roars as he spots Troy Knight clambering to his feet. Fairplay strides across and the crowd go wild as Troy Knight stands to face him, Fairplay knife edge chops Troy Knight square across the chest.....there is a loud slap of skin on skin and then a yell of delight from Troy. Fairplay looks confused, he lands another knife edge chop to Troy Knight's chest and the stinging blow reddens the skin of the former MWF Television Champion but again there is a loud yell of delight from Troy Knight. Fairplay reaches forward and grabs Troy Knight, he looks for a DDT....but Troy Knight reverses it and sends Jonny Fairplay back over his head with a Northern lights suplex. The crowd roar on impact and Troy Knight gets quickly to his feet...Jonny Fairplay is laid out near the turnbuckle, his head facing the turnbuckle. Troy Knight smiles and slaps his hands on his behind and starts to walk towards the turnbuckle.]

JP: It's time for the Rump Thump, we haven't seen this move for a long time and I thought this move would have disappeared with "Troy Boy".

Sully: You can never make "Troy Boy" disappear, he's raging inside Troy Knight and to be honest I think that is what makes Knight win matches.

JP: If he didn't have that insane edge, that little something then he is simply a standard wrestler but "Troy Boy" is something else.

Sully: Jonny Fairplay is going to be sick all night after this move.

[Troy Knight is beginning to climb the turnbuckle, he wiggles his behind as he climbs up to the second rope.....pausing for a moment to collect the cheers of the crowd. Tonya is cheering and waving as Troy Knight reaches the top rope, he has his back to the ring and Jonny Fairplay is looking upwards. The eyes of Jonny Fairplay are open as he looks up....Troy Knight wiggles his ass and the crowd roar and cameras flash around the arena as Troy Knight bounces on the ropes before leaping off the top rope...and bringing his behind down for the Rump Thump! Troy Knight connects....with the canvas, as Jonny Fairplay rolls out of the way at the last second and Troy Knight squeels with pain as his behind connects with nothing but the mat.]

JP: No! No! No!

Sully: Ouch! Troy Knight's not going to be sitting down for a good week after that....

JP: ....the Rump Thump is a devestating move when pulled off correctly but I don't know what happened there.

Sully: What happened there was a bit of tactical brilliance but Jonny Fairplay, I think he was "playing possum" so to speak.

[Both men are down for a short while, Charles Galliant is about to start counting them both out when Jonny Fairplay grabs the ropes and begins to climb up to his feet. Fairplay shouts abuse at Tonya, she shouts back at him....Fairplay gestures to get out of the ring and she stumbles backwards in fright. Fairplay begins to laugh as he turns round and leans down to grab the hair of Troy Knight, he pulls Troy Knight up to his feet and the crowd jeer as Fairplay irish whips Troy Knight towards the turnbuckle. He gets Knight up against the turnbuckle and executes an eye rake that Charles Galliant spots....Troy Knight bends double clutching his sore eyes. Jonny Fairplay backs away and runs at Troy Knight...he picks up speed and looks for a running knee to smash into the face of Troy Knight....the crowd gasp and explode with cheers as Troy Knight bent double uses the momentum of Jonny Fairplay to elevate him over his shoulder and Jonny Fairplay goes up in a flapjack move...and his face cracks onto the top of the turnbuckle!]

JP: Good Lord! Troy Knight just uses the entire move by Fairplay to turn it to his advantage....

Sully: Fairplay's face must be feeling like it's just been shot...

[Fairplay isn't down, but he is stunned and confused as he staggers back from the turnbuckle clutching his sore face. Troy Knight is up and Fairplay walks straight back into the former MWF Television Champion and "Troy Boy" hoists up Jonny Fairplay and brings him down with a massive backdrop. The ring shakes and Charles Galliant slides down for the count as Troy Knight hooks the leg.....1.......2..! The crowd jeer as Jonny Fairplay manages to kick out before Galliant can slap down for the three.]

JP: I thought Troy Knight had done enough then, Fairplay can hardly see a thing after the impact of that move.

Sully: It was quite a backdrop, but not quite enough to knock the wind out of Jonny Fairplay's sails.

JP: The elevation that Fairplay for off the back of Troy Knight was amazing....these two men are stopping at nothing here tonight, they both want this win.

Sully: Neither man can get any real advantage because they just keep coming back at each other.

[Troy Knight begins to make his way towards the turnbuckle, looking to go up once again he climbs again....Jonny Fairplay is already starting to get to his feet, rubbing his face where the impact with the turnbuckle was made. Troy Knight reaches the top rope, he pants heavily before turning round to face into the ring, Fairplay is on his feet and the crowd roar as Fairplay turns around and a dropkick from Troy Knight comes off the top rope and Fairplay is knocked backwards. Troy Knight's army of fans are on their feet cheering as he stumbles forwards, just about making a safe landing. Jonny Fairplay stays down as Troy Knight makes his way to the fallen body of Fairplay.]

JP: Troy Knight is such a versatile wrestler, he can be brawling one moment and the next he's up on the top rope dropkicking opponents.

Sully: He's got to be good at something in particular, Fairplay is a bit of an all rounder as well, although you feel brawling in his strong point.

JP: Fairplay does have a size advantage, and although that gives advantages it has given problems as well...he's not quite as nimble as Troy Knight.

Sully: It's hard to match the agility of Troy Knight.

[Troy Knight grabs Fairplay by the head and pulls him back to his feet, Fairplay is staggering as Troy Knight sends him into the ropes. Fairplay comes back and Troy Knight elbows him in the face, as he does so he twists round and the crowd roar as Troy Knight locks in a sleeper hold! Charles Galliant is caught a bit off guard, and so is Jonny Fairplay who is in the middle of the ring and has nowhere to run. Tonya is right up at ringside, slamming the canvas and cheering on Troy Knight as he keeps the hold locked in. Fairplay is screaming with pain as his face turns red with exertion, he attempts to push Troy Knight backwards but Knight stands firm and the former MWF Television Champion adds a little knee into the back of Fairplay's knee that causes Fairplay to drop to his knees.]

JP: He's got him! Troy Knight has that sleeper hold locked in very tight, and he's right in the centre of the ring.

Sully: I never knew Troy Knight had this sort of move available to him, I never saw him as such a technical wrestler.

JP: He has his moments, don't forget who his father was...and his father taught him all he knew.

Sully: Lawrence Stanley Knight could still out wrestle a lot of the MWF roster today, he was a technical genuis.

[Troy Knight is down on his knees with Jonny Fairplay. The two men sprawl even further down towards the canvas as the fight begins to fade from Fairplay, he attempts to elbow his way out of the move but his feeble strikes do nothing to dislodge Troy Knight who has the move locked in to perfection. The free arm of Jonny Fairplay is wavering, he clenches it into a fist but can't maintain the strain any longer. Fairplay's eyes begin to close slightly and Troy Knight screams in the ears of Jonny Fairplay to give up and slowly the hand of Fairplay taps the canvas, it taps again, and again. Charles Galliant grabs the arm of Troy Knight and forces him off Jonny Fairplay as the bell sounds. The fans are on their feet cheering as Tonya rushes into the ring to congratulate Troy Knight.]

JP: He's done it, Troy Knight has avenged the defeat that Jonny Fairplay caused him.

Sully: Fairplay just couldn't keep up with Troy Knight and in the end a technical move got the better of Fairplay.

JP: Troy Knight must be the greatest MWF wrestler to have never held the MWF World Championship.

Sully: I hope he never does, I mean we all know he's batting for the other side.

[As if to disprove this Tonya grabs Troy Knight and hugs him tightly as Knight's arm is raised to the cheering crowd, cameras flashing everywhere.]

Peter Santos: And your winner, through submission, Troy Knight!

JP: You don't hear that every often, a submission victory for Troy Knight.

Sully: It's a rare thing to see a submission victory these days, but we've had two tonight...Eddie Benoit took out Adam The Ritcheous early.

JP: That was a thrilling match and what a win for Benoit, but more important Insane Wayne just removed that shot at the MWF Xtreme Championship for the newcomer.

Sully: The poor bastard, Benoit thought he was going to be facing Wayne for the MWF Xtreme Championship but the new Commissioner just screwed him over.

JP: Troy Knight hasn't been screwed over tonight, he won a fair victory....

Sully: ....Jonny Fairplay will not be happy, this was meant to be the night that he truly put Troy Knight to the stake.

JP: He may have another chance, I can't see these two stopping here.

Sully: There is some hatred between these two men and I doubt it'll be settled by tonight.

[Jonny Fairplay is recovering, he gets to his feet and is watched by Troy Knight as he grabs the ropes for support. The crowd jeering Fairplay as he turns to look at his opponent, Troy Knight turns his face away in disgust as Jonny Fairplay begins to stagger towards him.]

JP: I think Jonny should just leave it here...he's already been beaten and there is no need to be shown as a sore loser.

Sully: Fairplay's a hard bastard, he's taken worse beatings than this and I think he expected to win tonight.

JP: He should always expect to win, you can't go into a match and expect to lose.

Sully: Ohhhh!

[Fairplay slaps Troy Knight hard across the side of the cheek that is turned away from Fairplay. Troy Knight staggers back from the force of the slap...Tonya screams and attempts to get inbetween the two men but Fairplay grabs her by the hair and drags her away, still holding her by her hair he throws her into the turnbuckle and the beautiful blonde hits the turnbuckle and collapses in a sobbing heep. Troy Knight runs and grabs Jonny Fairplay, he begins to throw wild punches and takes a few back from Fairplay. Fairplay manages to block a punch and kicks Troy Knight in the groin, the crowd boo loudly as Jonny Fairplay hits a massive low blow that shatters into the crotch area of Troy Knight and forces the former MWF Television Champion to rethink any late night plans as he drops to the canvas. A security team are running down the entrance ramp as Jonny Fairplay begins to stamp on Troy Knight...]

JP: What a viscous assault by Jonny Fairplay, he couldn't take the face that he was beaten here tonight on Monday Night Dynamite by Troy Knight.

Sully: He's just making the point to Troy Knight that he will not be beaten by tonight, he is going to take the fight to Troy Knight.

JP: These two will never stop, there is history and true hatred.

Sully: Fairplay doesn't like the look of this security.

[The six strong security team storm the ring and Fairplay decks the first man with a right hand but the five other man grab Fairplay and force him away from Troy Knight. The crowd cheer as Jonathon Taylor Thomas comes running down the entrance ramp, the security team force Fairplay into the corner and are restraining him.]

JP: What is Jonathon doing down here?

Sully: We haven't seen him on an MWF screen for a while...

[Taylor Thomas slides into the ring and runs over to where Tonya is sobbing like mad...he helps her to her feet and the crowd flash cameras as the beautiful blonde curls herself into the chest of the hunky male. Taylor Thomas shuffles over with Tonya clinging to him, Troy Knight is pulling himself back to his feet and he looks over to see Tonya holding tightly onto Jonathon Taylor Thomas, her fingers fondeling the back of Jonathon's shirt. Troy Knight's face is full of rage as he looks on....he backs away as Jonathon pushes Tonya away and walks towards Troy.]

JP: I am sensing some real tension here, Knight's livid at what he's seeing....

Sully: ....I thought he and Jonathon were taking a "break"?

JP: Obviously something has been going on...

[The cameras are starting to fade as Troy Knight slides from the ring and begins to walk up the entrance ramp, Taylor Thomas watches from the ring, looking confused as Troy Knight doesn't turn to look back.]

Sully: We out of time JP?

JP: We sure are, this has been another amazing Dynamite show and whoah, there is so much that has happened.

Sully: We've got a new Commissioner, Insane Wayne has taken the post and his first action was to strip the triple threat match of its status of being for a shot at the MWF Xtreme Championship which funnily enough Wayne holds!

JP: He simply wants a fairer competition...

Sully: ...fairer for him and "Twisted Vizion"!

JP: We shall see you next week, when Anarkist steps back into the ring to take on a rejuvinated Seth Caliko.

Sully: It's going to be a crazy match, hardcore to say the least.

JP: Anarkist doesn't go to the extreme very often but he'll need to if he wants to win a hardcore match with former MWF Xtreme Champion Seth Caliko.

Sully: He's not the "Innovator of Impossible" for nothing!
