versus

"The Hardcore Icon" NomaD

Non-Title Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

JP: The MWF World Champion is going to be back in the ring tonight on Dynamite and he will face the tough task of beating NomaD.

Sully: Spade doesn't have the MWF world Championship on the line so he can relax a little and get on with the job in hand.

JP: The job in hand?

Sully: Giving NomaD a message, make him realise that he has no hope of ever becoming the MWF World Champion.

JP: But that's not true, anyone can become the MWF World Champion. If Ace Spade can become MWF World Champion I am sure NomaD can manage it.

Sully: NomaD's got to contend with the whole of "Twisted Vision" on his back, you saw the fight Iniquity gave him last week and you can never be sure how mnay of "Twisted Vision" will get involved with the match.

JP: It'd be Christmas come early for NomaD if he could pick up the win tonight...

Sully:...If Ace Spade keeps the match in the ring "The Hardcore Icon" won't have a chance, Spade's technically superior.

[The MWF's announcer Peter Santos steps into the centre of the ring, taking a deep breath.]

Peter Santos: Ladies and gentlemen, this match is schduled for one fall and is a non-title match up....introducing first, weighing in at 230 lbs., from Hollywood, California, he is the MWF World Champion, "The Player" Ace Spade!

[Radiohead's "Idioteque" hits the PA system and the crowd are on their feet jeering as the MWF World Champion walks out...dressed in his customary black tights with cards printed on them. Spade cockily nods his head in time with the music, hoisting the MWF World Championship onto his shoulder.]

JP: He's one evil son of a bitch, that belt somehow influences his mind...it spreads like an unimaginable evil along his veins.

Sully: No one will ever take that belt away from "The Player", he has too much power, so calm under pressure.

JP: I don't know, we've seen Ace Spade snap a few times when the pressure gets to him, it's not a nice sight.

Sully: NomaD will be in trouble tonight if Spade can control his rage, a cool and calculated attack from "The Player" can end your career.

[Ace Spade is at the end of the ramp, he pauses for a moment...looks to the right and spits towards the fans, making them jeer even louder. Spade slides under the bottom rope, clambering to his feet he raises the MWF World Championship belt to the crowd who jeer loudly.]

JP: A belt of real men, every man who has won that belt has been deserving...

Sully:..Especially Ace Spade, he's been an inspiration to many with his new found spirit and energy.

JP: Amazing what greed can do to a man, stirs the deepest anger in his soul.

[The arena lights dim as Peter Santos bellows once more...red strobe lights begin to flash/]

Peter Santos: And the opponent, weighing in at 230 lbs., from Brooklyn, New York, "The Hardcore Icon" NomaD!

["Big God" by Monster Magnet hits as the crowd get to their feer, cheering and waving for the MWF's former Xtreme Champion. The red strobe lights still flash, Ace Spade turns to look towards the entrance way and as he does "The Hardcore Icon", NomaD strides out from behind the curtain. Spade's face twists in disgust as Ace Spade strides down the entrance way, the crowd leaning over the barriers to slap him on the back.]

Sully: That man does not deserve to be in this position, Iniquity always made the point that NomaD was undeserving and I don't often agree with "Twisted Vision" but they had a point!

JP: The powers that be obviously thought he was good enough, the fans think he is good enough and that is what matters...only NomaD and Troy Knight can possibly get this sort of reaction.

Sully: Troy Knight can't anymore, we're outside of Illinois...

JP:...You don't understand just how popular Troy Knight is.

[NomaD reaches the ring, he walks round to the ring steps and walks up them...warily watching Ace Spade as the MWF World Champion turns and talks to Charles Galliant. The match referee nods and then frowns as Ace Spade says something, NomaD steps into the ring and walks to the turnbuckle, climbing up it he holds his hands up to the crowd and they cheer loudly.]

Sully: A former MWF Xtreme Champion, he's a little out of his depth here, facing such a great wrestler like Ace Spade.

JP: NomaD's been in the MWF a long long time and he'll use all his experience to make sure he gets the win.

Sully: I don't think he's got enough gas in the tank to beat Ace Spade, the endurance of "The Player" is incredible.

JP: At Nightmare we saw a different side to Ace Spade, the trouble for Ace is that if his old self returns he will be nothing. NomaD's found a new fire recently as well, it's very much a battle between two reformed characters.

Sully: NomaD had to find a new fire after the collapse of the "Untouchables"...I wonder how NomaD will react when he meets up with Kidd Kidman again.

JP: Could be interesting, NomaD is an understanding guy...I am sure it will all work out fine.

[The bell rings as NomaD gets down from the turnbuckle and turns to face the MWF World Champion...Spade slowly walks towards "The Hardcore Icon", a twisted grin on his face. The crowd jeer as Spade suddenly smashes a forearm into the face of NomaD who is stunned, he staggers back as the MWF World Champion fires a right hand to the temple of NomaD. The recently stitched skin of NomaD bursts back open and blood is already flowing, Charles Galliant puts himself between NomaD and Ace Spade. NomaD clutches his head, attempting to stem the blood...he swallows some and spits it back out.]

Sully: NomaD's so weak he's bleeding already...

JP:...Because of last weeks wounds, not tonight.

Sully: Ace Spade saw the chance to gain a psychological advantage and he took it, Ace Spade knows every trick in the book.

[Ace Spade backs away, arms raised...trash talking Charles Galliant, the MWF's senior referee raises a finger to Ace Spade and the MWF World Champion laughs. NomaD is back on his feet and Galliant is pushed aside as once again Ace Spade fires the right hands into NomaD...the former MWF Xtreme Champion is pushed back to the corner...right and left hands fly into the mid section of NomaD. Ace Spade has NomaD doubled up and he brings a huge knee up and catches NomaD in the face, "The Hardcore Icon" is dropped to the mat.]

JP: I don't like the way this is going for Ace Spade, NomaD doesn't seem to be able to offer any resistance.

Sully: Told you NomaD wasn't good enough, he just can't handle the pressure...like Nightmare, he couldn't handle the pressure.

JP: He'll battle back, NomaD's a fighter not a quitter.

[The crowd roar as NomaD gets back to his feet, he's grabbed by Ace Spade but the MWF World Champion looks shocked as NomaD elbows him in the ribs before locking in a waistlock and the cameras flash as NomaD german suplexes Ace Spade...with a bridge for the pin, Spade's shoulders are down as Galliant counts....1....! Spade breaks out of the cover quickly and NomaD scrambles to his feet but Spade is up first and he slams an elbow into the back of NomaD's head. NomaD drops to the mat as Ace Spade stamps savagely on the back of NomaD.]

Sully: No matter what NomaD attempts to do in this match, there is nothing he can throw at Ace Spade that the MWF World Champion can deal with.

JP: I'm still amazed how Ace Spade came to be at the top of the MWF tree, a few months ago he was losing to openers and now he's right up there.

Sully: Shows what a little hard work and perseverance can do..he's had no help from anyone but himself.

[Ace Spade shouts at the crowd as he lands a blow to the back of NomaD's head...he slowly pulls "The Hardcore Icon" to his feet and irish whips him into the turnbuckle. NomaD bangs against it and stays there..clutching the ropes for support, Ace Spade charges at clotheslines NomaD even harder against the turnbuckle. The MWF World Champion begins to shoulder barge NomaD in the corner, the crowd jeering each time Ace Spade slams his body into the chest of NomaD who is slipping further and further down the turnbuckle.]

JP: This is terrible...

Sully:...It's what you'd call a methodical and tactical approach, Ace Spade is wearing down NomaD with a technical assault that is ruthless to watch.

JP: The fans don't like it one bit.

Sully: They knew what was coming whey paid for the ticket.

[Ace Spade walks away from NomaD and raises his arms slowly, taunting the jeering crowd. A smug smile is on the face of Ace Spade as he turns round, swinging a right boot looking to connect with NomaD...the MWF World Champion gets a shock as "The Hardcore" Icon explodes upwards and catches the leg of "The Player". A sharp dragon screw has the MWF World Champion floored and NomaD is upon him, mounting strong punches to the face of Ace Spade...Charles Galliant calls for NomaD to get up off "The Player" and he gives Spade one last big punch...before slowly standing.]

JP: NomaD's back in business, this crowd are going to be loving it..."The Hardcore Icon" is all fired up.

Sully: All fired up for nothing, everyone knows that Ace Spade cannot be beaten, since winning that MWF World Championship belt he's had a new layer of steel added to him.

[NomaD grabs Ace Spade by his bald head and drags him to his feet, Spade is sent running into the ropes...he comes back and NomaD leaps up and hits a huge spinning reverse DDT on Ace Spade. The MWF World Champion is laid flat out on his back, arms spread on the canvas as "The Hardcore" icon makes his way towards the turnbuckle. He reaches the turnbuckle and raises his arms to the crowd who respond with a giant roar.]

JP: Looks as if NomaD wants to try and go for the make or break moves, he has a strategy tonight and that is not the conservative kind.

Sully: It's the suicidal kind, the kind of strategy that makes you lose matches.

JP: This is one match that NomaD cannot afford to lose, imagine the size of Ace Spade's ego if he was to win!

[NomaD climbs the ropes...reaching the top rope he smiles to the fans before leaping off. The cameras flash around the arena as NomaD extends his legs and drops a huge guillotine leg drop onto the neck of Ace Spade, the MWF World Champion writhes with pain and rolls over clutching his throat. NomaD hooks the leg of "The Player"....1.....2! The MWF World Champion breaks out of the count to jeers from the crowd. NomaD looks relaxed and calm as he drags Ace Spade to his feet by the arm...Spade staggers forward as NomaD bundles him towards the ropes. The crowd let off a big cheer as NomaD throws Spade over the top rope and to the outside.]

Sully: This is not the sort of territory that Ace Spade wants to find himself wrestling in...

JP:...NomaD is "The Hardcore Icon" and Ace Spade is about to find out exactly why.

["The Hardcore Icon" slides from the ring and grabs the MWF World Champion who is attempting to get to his feet, he leads him over towards the announce table.]

Sully: They're heading this way JP!

JP: Hell yeah!

[The crowd near the announce table cheer as NomaD slams Ace Spade's face into the announce table...Spade hits the table and flops backwards onto the outside. Charles Galliant has started a count and hits......2......NomaD pulls the cover off the announce table and the crowd are on their feet cheering as NomaD throws the table cover at the grounded Ace Spade. Spade rolls out of the way at the last second as the cover hits the floor.....3.....Ace Spade slowly gets to his feet, he looks at NomaD with a growing rage in his eyes, "The Hardcore Icon" signals for Spade to bring it and the MWF World Champion charges at NomaD.......4.......NomaD at the last second ducks the arm of Ace Spade and uses Spade's momentum to back body drop him up and over, onto the announce table, Spade hits the table and it just holds.]

Sully: Let's get the hell out of here JP....

JP....Agreed! Get him NomaD, get that son of a bitch!

[Ace Spade is flat out on the announce table as NomaD laughs out loud, with an evil grin he climbs onto the announce table......5......The crowd are roaring as "The Hardcore Icon" gets Ace Spade up to his feet...Spade is wobbling as NomaD puts Spade between his legs, he drops back and hits a piledriver through the table, it splinters everywhere and the crowd go wild as Spade drops dead...NomaD rolls away clutching his lower back.]

Sully: Our table! NomaD just ruined the announce table, now we're going to have nothing to lean on...

JP:...Who cares, NomaD just put Ace Spade, the MWF World Champion, through the announce table!

[NomaD crawls up to his feet, he smiles as he sees Ace Spade in the wreckage of the announce table.........6.......NomaD hears the count and staggers over to Spade, he grabs the MWF World Champion and drags him along the floor towards the ring, he reaches the ring apron and hoists him up onto the ring apron.......7........Spade is rolled into the ring and Galliant stops the count as NomaD follows, NomaD covers with the crowd counting with Galliant as his hand pounds the mat......1.......2...! NomaD can't believe it as Galliant stops the count, Galliant points to the ropes where Ace Spade's foot is placed.]

Sully: Haha! Ace Spade never goes down the easy way, you've really got to battle hard to put a man like Ace Spade away.

JP: He's a good wrestler, but how the hell did he get his foot on the ropes? There is no more Doris Spade to do that for him.

[NomaD rolls away from Ace Spade, almost in shock at Spade kicking out. Charles Galliant shows NomaD the two count again...NomaD nods, walking away, holding his head and the crowd look as bemused as NomaD. Ace Spade begins to stir and the crowd jeer as he slowly uses the ropes to haul himself up, NomaD turns around and the MWF World Champion is desperation runs at NomaD and clotheslines him. "The Hardcore Icon" is taken down, Spade goes down and stays down, Galliant looks worriedly at the two men before starting a count.......1........2........3..........4.........5.]

Sully: It can't end this way..it really can't.

JP: Of course it won't, NomaD will be up in no time.

Sully: I wouldn't be so sure JP.

[The crowd jeer loudly as Ace Spade is the first man to stir, he staggers to his feet and Charles Galliant stops counting, Spade grabs NomaD by his hair and hauls him to his feet. The crowd roar as NomaD elbows Spade in the ribs, "The Hardcore Icon" sends Ace Spade running towards the corner...NomaD runs after him but the MWF World Champion manages to halt his dash at the turnbuckle and spin round with an elbow that catches the former MWF Xtreme Champion full in the face. NomaD staggers back, the blood still crusted on his forehead is being joined by fresh blood. Ace Spade kicks NomaD in the mid-section and out of nowhere executes The Royal Flush. The impact of the move shakes the ring and NomaD is flat out...Ace Spade is down but has an arm draped over NomaD, the crowd jeer as Charles Galliant counts....1.....2......3! The bell sounds as Ace Spade slowly rolls off NomaD and stays down on the mat, panting for breath.]

JP: What a cheap win...I swear an MWF World Champion should win matches by decent hard fought victories, not some...

Sully:...An MWF World Champion must win at all costs to avoid humilation, he must be inspiration to the rest of the roster and to get a win like that is vital.

Peter Santos: And your winner, through pinfall, Ace Spade!

JP: Unfortunatly ladies and gentlemen we've seen Ace Spade claim a victory here tonight, he's been very very lucky that NomaD didn't shatter his body here tonight.

Sully: Spade is beginning to show us exactly why he is the MWF World Champion and better than the rest of the roster.

JP: Because he can cheat his way out of any corner?

Sully: He did not cheat, he worked hard for that win...you saw his early dominance.

JP: What about the rest of the match? The strategy of NomaD was to attack, attack and attack...

Sully:...He forgot about the defense and that's a crucial role in wrestling, if you don't think about what you are going to do if your attack fails you are doomed.

JP: NomaD had everything planned, but unfortunatly did not count on Ace Spade using such vile tactics.

Sully: He should of...everyone knows Ace Spade has great tactics and will win by any means neccessary.

JP: If only Troy Knight were out here to teach Spade a lesson, he's done it before at Implosion....

Sully:...Implosion, that was months ago, this is now and the MWF has a great World Champion.

[Ace Spade is back on his feet, Peter Santos takes the MWF World Championship and presents it to "The Player" who raises it to a screaming crowd, angry at what they've seen. Spade cockily nods his head in time with Radiohead's "Idioteque", looking down on NomaD who is still out cold on the mat.]

JP: NomaD's been quite badly hurt, the impact of that Royal Flush was quite sickening.

Sully: What a sweet move that was...NomaD's head slammed straight into the canvas and the match was over.

JP: I doubt this is the last we've seen of these two men in the ring, there is plenty more to come that's for sure.

Sully: Two athletes, one great...the other mediocre at best.

JP: Don't talk about the MWF World Champion that way!

Sully: I wasn't, I was talking about NomaD!

JP: Where does Iniquity fit into all this? He's got to be wanting revenge on NomaD...and I bet he wants that MWF World Championship.

Sully: I wouldn't put Iniquity anywhere near the MWF World Championship, if he can't even beat NomaD I don't see why he should get a chance at Ace Spade.

JP: I'm not saying he will, but he has an intrest in this feud building between Spade and NomaD.

Sully: We don't have time to discuss it now...it's time we got off the air.

JP: We're running out of time here, the MWF has been with you for over twelve months now and we've seen some incredible matches, many of them here on Monday Night Dynamite.

Sully: I hope you'll join us in 2004 when we'll have more and more action, some great feuds and some of the best wrestlers ever seen...

JP:...Unfortunatly that means Ace Spade will be stinking up your television....

Sully:...Would you get off his back?

JP: No! He's a terrible MWF World Champion...goodnight everyone!

Sully: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
