versus

MWF World Champion: "The Ruthless Rookie" Kidd Kidman

Non-Title Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

[The crowd go wild as the lights in the arena flash on and off and Peter Santos stands in the middle of the ring, he raises the mike to his lips.]

Peter Santos: The final match tonight is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title match.

[The crowd cheer Santos as he steps back out of the centre of the ring, electing to stand nearer one of the turnbuckles instead.]

JP: Santos making his point and an important one, this match is a non-title match up between Insane Wayne and Kidd Kidman.

Sully: Wayne must be gutted, he probably thought Walker was going to grant him a World Championship shot.

JP: Walker's cleverer than that, he knows both Insane Wayne and Iniquity both want the chance at the MWF World Championship...and he isn't going to let them get it without a fight.

Sully: A big test for Kidman, he'll be wanting to prove he didn't just win the MWF World Championship out of fluke as many have been claiming.

JP: How can people say that? He put in a career defining performance and yet people still question his ability.

Sully: Mind you Anarkist had his ability questioned constantly even though he proved he was the best MWF World Champion in history.

JP: It wasn't his ability people questioned it was his level of sanity!

Sully: I still can't believe he's gone, the MWF just isn't the same without him.

[The arena crowd quieten down as Peter Santos steps back into the centre of the ring to announce the two wrestlers competing.]

Peter Santos: Please welcome first, weighing in at 275 lbs., from The Miserys, Florida and one half of the MWF Tag Team Champions, "Hardcore Living Legend" Insane Wayne!

["My Sacrifice" by Creed blasts from the PA system as Insane Wayne walks out onto the entrance way with the MWF Tag Team Championship over his shoulder. He raises his arms to the crowd who respond with a huge "In-Sane-Wayne" chant that brings a smile to the face of the former UWF World Champion.]

JP: Wayne must be pretty happy with the reception he's received in the MWF, it's been similar to the return of a long lost son.

Sully: I would be cheering if he hadn't brought that son of a bitch Iniquity with him, how can In iquity be rising so fast up the MWF ranks when he's only just begun wrestling/

JP: Iniquity has shown great ring awareness and ability, he looks a born winner.

Sully: I don't know about that JP, he has weaknesses that are yet to be uncovered..he's a huge man and anyone who has the speed could prove a problem for Iniquity.

[Insane Wayne reaches the ring, climbs the ropes and raises the MWF Tag Team Championship to the fans before handing it to Peter Santos, he shakes hands with Charles Galliant and awaits the arrival of his opponent.]

Peter Santos: Introducing, the MWF World Champion, from Manchester, England, weighing in at 210 lbs., a member of "The Untouchables" and of course the MWF World Champion, "The Ruthless Rookie" Kidd Kidman!

[The slow tones of "In The End" by Linkin Park creep through the arena as Kidman walks out in a spotlight of yellow, he pauses for a second and then leaps in the air as the guitar rips through the PA system and fireworks explode in turn. He takes the MWF World Championship and holds it high in the air sending the crowd into a cheering fit, Insane Wayne stares at the belt from the ring.]

JP: This man in his time in the MWF has for me worked so hard to become the MWF World Champion that it just feels right, he's one of the next generation and they're beginning to shine.

Sully: Anarkist's gone, The Jeopardizer's gone, Sam King's injured...they are a dying breed in the MWF.

JP: The new dawn is slowly coming over the old hills and Kidd Kidman becoming MWF World Champion was for me the first major sign of that happening.

Sully: He's got the potential to become a legend but only if he plays is right, he can't be rash and matches like this are matches he has to win.

JP: Insane Wayne's wrestling tonight with the stipulation set by the MWF President that is he is a winner he will give Iniquity the chance to have a shot at Kidman and the MWF World Championship.

Sully: The stakes are high, battle is immenient.

[Kidd Kidman reaches the ring, he places the MWF World Championship around his waist and leaps up onto the turnbuckle, taunting the fans. They roar in approval, as Insane Wayne leans against the opposite turnbuckle watching the young champion.]

JP: Kidman is only a young man, but an impressive young man.

Sully: I doubt he can match up to the battle hardened Insane Wayne, he's fought more matches than all these new generation superstars put together.

JP: The trouble is, they have the talent, the speed and the charisma to make men like Wayne look old and weary...how does Wayne fight this?

Sully: He is only as old as he feels, we all know Wayne is an exceptional wrestler and if he manages to finishes matches quickly he will have no problem.

[Charles Galliant takes the MWF World Championship and parades it to the fans, before handing it to Peter Santos and prepares the two men for the match. The bell sounds and Galliant calls for a fair fight as the two men lock up, Wayne's weight advantage shows straight away as Kidman is forced down onto one knee...Wayne rams his knee into the head of the MWF World Champion and Kidman falls back onto the canvas. Wayne drops down and the crowd roar as he locks in the 'Death by Strangulation', a painful choke submission. Charles Galliant doesn't recognise it as a choke and Kidman is going red in the face as Wayne squeezes tight, blocking the airways...Galliant suddenly realises the nature of Wayne's game and the crowd jeer Wayne as he gets up. Kidman rolls away holding his throat.]

JP: Kidman must be wishing for a drink of water right now, not surprising considering that was an illegal choke by Wayne.

Sully: Wayne's a clever man, he disguised that choke so Galliant wasn't sure if it was legal or not, he's not well known for his technical abilities.

JP: Kidman is the technical wrestler in this match, he has the skills to suplex anyone out of the match.

["The Ruthless Rookie" gets to his feet and ducks as Wayne thunders at him with a clothesline, the crowd roar as Kidman turns and Wayne comes running back off the ropes and Kidman grabs Wayne and with huge strength sends the MWF Tag Team Champion back over his head with a belly to back suplex. Kidman quickly rolls up Wayne for the cover...1....2! Wayne breaks out of the cover, Galliant signals the two.]

Sully: Kidman's covering early, a fatal flaw in his plan of attack...Insane Wayne will never submit that early.

JP: Interesting how Kidman has almost all the support out here tonight, he's a very popular choice as champion...a people's champion in some respect.

[Kidman keeps the momentum and the "Hardcore Living Legend" is sent stumbling backwards as Kidman attacks with right hands to the chest of a rising Insane Wayne...Wayne is sent down to the mat with a thud as Kidman picks Wayne up and sidewalk slams him. Kidman looks to the turnbuckle and the crowd roar as Kidman looks to take to the air.]

Sully: This is not a wise move from Kidman, it's far too early to be trying out such a high risk move.

JP: I'm sure he knows excactly what he's doing, he knows that if he hits something big here he could finish off Insane Wayne before the challenge has really begun.

[Insane Wayne is flat out on the mat, Charles Galliant steps out of the way as Kidman climbs to the top of the turnbuckle. At the top he taunts the grounded Insane Wayne, the MWF World Champion leaps off the top rope, looking for a leg drop onto the grounded Insane Wayne and he connects! The crowd roar upon impact as the leg of Kidman drops onto the neck of Wayne and Wayne groans with pain, Kidd Kidman goes for the cover again....1....2! Insane Wayne gets the shoulder up confidently.]

Sully: He didn't hook the leg, someone forgot to tell Kidman that if you want to really get a pinfall on an opponent you have to hook that leg.

JP: Hooking the leg is a technical aspect that has been used for decades, its vital. What a move by Kidman, the advantage of being a smaller man as World Champion is the versatility and speed you have around the ring, he's agile Kidman.

Sully: He may be agile but the men after his belt are huge men, Wayne's no shrimp at two seven five and Iniquity is a beast of a man.

JP: Kidman can get backup from EyCe and NomaD, NomaD is of course the MWF Xtreme Champion.

[Wayne gets to his feet and the crowd explode in anger as Wayne executes a low blow on Kidd Kidman...dropping the MWF World Champion to the mat, Charles Galliant missed the blow and looks around to wonder what all the fans are jeering about. Insane Wayne grabs Kidd Kidman and hits 'heaven' on him, sending him crashing for a huge suplex, Kidman is sprawled onto the mat and Wayne walks round to the legs of the grounded MWF World Champion and the crowd are unhappy as Wayne locks in the 'whipper snapper' or figure four leglock.]

Sully: Since when did Insane Wayne get technical, he just suplexed Kidd Kidman and now he's locking in a figure four leg lock.

JP: I'm not sure, but I think Wayne's taken the tactic that the best way to beat Kidman is to get technical.

Sully: Could cause Kidman to throw his tactics and go for the more high flying style that we know he is capable of doing..obviously Wayne can't do that, but I always thought Wayne was more of a brawler.

JP: He's matured Sully, he's no longer a roughneck hardcore wrestler who used to make a living by smashing dustbins over other guys heads...he's a wrestler of great acclaim.

Sully: Maybe so, but he's still got a lot to prove to me.

[Kidman writhes in pain as Insane Wayne keeps the hold locked in, Kidman reaches out for the ropes but he's unable to reach them and he forces his legs over but Wayne blocks the counter and pushes his legs over further and Kidman screams with pain. Charles Galliant asks Kidman if he gives in but Kidman through clenched teeth hisses "No", Wayne pushes his legs over again, putting his full weight into it....]

JP: Looks as if Kidman's legs are about to snap!

Sully: I hope so, teach him for being a lucky champion...

JP: A lucky champion should get out of this one, we're seeing a great display of technical wrestling tonight.

[Kidman leans back further and drags with a huge effort Insane Wayne nearer the ropes, Wayne attempts to fight back but Kidman leans back and with his head on the canvas reaches back with his arms. Charles Galliant calls for Insane Wayne to get off as Kidman grips the ropes, the effort shown in his faced that is bright red with exertion. Insane Wayne pushes his legs over and refuses to budge, Kidman screams with pain and Charles Galliant shouts "I'll disqualify you" at Wayne and he kicks away from the hold and gets to his feet.]

Sully: Wayne does have some sense, if he hadn't of let Kidman out of that hold he'd of been in more shit than a drowning man at a sewage works.

JP: What a nice thought!

Sully: Kidman's got to start fighting back soon, Wayne's been on top for ages now, Kidman's hardly featured.

JP: He almost won it in the early stages, that leg drop was superb.

["Hardcore Living Legend" grabs Kidman by the leg and hauls him away from the ropes and Kidman stands, guided by Insane Wayne. Wayne roars at the crowd before setting the MWF World Champion up for the 666....he looks to connect the move but his face is in shock as Kidman pushes Wayne away and connects with a dropkick, right into the chest of the "Hardcore Living Legend"...who staggers back. Kidman grabs Wayne and hits a huge fisherman suplex, hooking the leg as he does so, Wayne is flat on his shoulders and Galliant counts....1.....2..! Wayne breaks out and slumps to the mat, breathing heavily.]

Sully: That's the problem with Wayne, he can't keep the pace anymore, he has stamina but that stamina is used up quickly in matches like this...Wayne can't match the pace of Kidman.

JP: He may not be able to keep up, but Kidman hasn't exactly made Wayne do much running around, it's been as you said earlier Sully a very technical match.

Sully: Nothing wrong with technical matches, probably suited Wayne better that is was slowed down with all these technical moves, submissions and such like.

JP: I'm looking forward to seeing Iniquity take on Kidd Kidman, we saw Iniquity earlier and man he was incredible in the ring.

Sully: Let's hope we won't see Iniquity out here tonight...

JP: We won't, Walker said earlier that if Iniquity steps foot in the ring he would automatically make Insane Wayne lose.

["The Ruthless Rookie" drops down to the mat and the crowd roar as he locks in a boston half crab, twisting the leg of Insane Wayne into positions never thought possible. Kidd Kidman grins as Insane Wayne roars with pain and his body shakes with pain as he arches his back...Kidman locks the submission even tighter as Wayne struggles to control his shaking. Insane Wayne reaches out for the ropes but misses them by an inch, Kidman spots this and drags Wayne's huge body back towards the centre. Charles Galliant checks Wayne who is shaking with the pain, his mouth wide open as Kidman suddenly realises the hold and instead stomps on the leg of Wayne. Wayne is powerless as Kidman drops a knee into his chest and then covers...1....2..! Wayne rolls his shoulder, breathing heavily, clutching his leg as Kidman gets to his feet.]

Sully: This is turning from a match into a battle, neither of these men is going to give up.

JP: I'm still not sure who has the real support, on one hand it seems as if the crowd are roaring on Wayne but then they turn the tide and cheer Kidman on.

Sully: Not surprising when Wayne went for that low blow, really struck home with some members of the crowd who remember exactly what Insane Wayne really is.

JP: Was don't you mean? Wayne's a new man.

Sully: Yes JP and you're the patron saint of column writing! A changed man, you'll believe anything.

[Kidd Kidman walks towards the turnbuckle, as Insane Wayne remains grounded....Kidman takes his time climbing the turnbuckle and in this time Insane Wayne finds the strength and hauls himself up. Kidman is on the top rope, and he turns round to find Insane Wayne walking towards him. The crowd explode as Kidman leaps off the top rope, Insane Wayne catches the MWF World Champion in his arms and the crowd gasp as Wayne hits a huge move called 'fallen', just dropping Kidman straight down onto the mat. Kidman hits the mat hard on his face, he rolls and bounces away as Insane Wayne lumbers after him. Kidman is dragged to his feet and the MWF Tag Team Champion ties Kidman up in the ropes. Charles Galliant stops Insane Wayne before he can make any contact.]

JP: That just reflected this match, one moment it's Kidman with the advantage but both of these men have so much pride they can't allow one man to dominate. It's as if everytime they try to do something, the other one has a trap ready to be sprung at any moment.

Sully: It's more technical than your average match that's for sure.

JP: No harm in that! I think technical wrestling is far too buried these days, I don't mind seeing the MWF Xtreme Championship matches but there is something special about a perfectly executed suplex.

Sully: I agree JP, I agree.

[Insane Wayne is pushes away by Charles Galliant who puts his authority in front of the MWF Tag Team Champion, Wayne is threatened with disqualification once again and he calmly walks away. Charles Galliant unties Kidman and the MWF World Champion stands. Wayne turns round and Kidman charges, he leaps up and grabs the head of Insane Wayne and hits a huge jump swinging DDT, Insane Wayne thuds onto the mat and Kidman goes for a quick cover, hooking the leg....1....2...! At the last possible second the MWF Tag Team Champion breaks free.]

JP: That was close, I thought he was gone then.

Sully: Was too close!

[Kidman gets up, Wayne is already standing and the two men lock up, Wayne pushes Kidman back but "The Ruthless Rookie" despite the weight advantage manages to hold his ground, Wayne pushes harder and Kidman moves, knocking Wayne off balance. A sharp kick has Wayne staggering and the crowd go wild as Kidman executes a twist of fate! Bang! Wayne's head snaps onto the mat and Kidman rolls away and sprints to the turnbuckle. The crowd are on their feet cheering as Kidman goes up to the top rope, he doesn't stop to taunt, with ruthless speed leaps off the top and flips in the air, coming down with the shooting star press onto Insane Wayne, hooking the leg as Charles Galliant counts....1....2....3!]

JP: My! Wayne's chance of winning Iniquity an MWF World Championship hot has literally just vanished..one moment he was pinning and then he was pinned.

Sully: He must be gutted, but did you see the speed of Kidman, he was ruthless.

JP: He is the "Ruthless Rookie"!

Peter Santos: And your winner, through pinfall, Kidd Kidman!

[The crowd roar as Kidman gets to his feet, grabs the MWF World Championship from Peter Santos and leaps from the ring...the crowd are confused but suddenly they see Iniquity sprinting to the ring. The huge man comes hurtling down the entrance way as Kidd Kidman with MWF World Championship belt in hand leaps over the guardrail and makes his way through the crowd. Iniquity slides into the ring, and leans down to check on Insane Wayne.]

Sully: I've never seen Iniquity move that fast, I swear the ground was shaking as he ran.

JP: He certainly moved then, he sensed the danger of Wayne being down and Kidman being able to take advantage.

Sully: What will happen now though, will we see Iniquity face Kidman anyway?

JP: I somehow doubt it, Walker isn't going to go back on his word.

Sully: He always has done, and he might just give in to popular opinion that Iniquity for some strange reason is worthy of a chance at the MWF World Championship.

[Iniquity stands watching Kidd Kidman make his way hastily through the crowd, with the fans trying to reach out and touch the MWF World Champion. Iniquity turns back to Insane Wayne who is being helped up by Charles Galliant, Wayne leans on Iniquity and shakes his head as Dynamite begins to close out.]

JP: Well folks, that's all for this week...Insane Wayne failed in his chance to try and win his tag team partner and friend Iniquity a chance at the MWF World Championship.

Sully: He didn't exactly fail, I think he helped bring out the best in Kidman, I've never seen a wrestler move so efficiently in the closing stages of a match. Kidman seemed to be down and out and a performance like that showed why he is the MWF World Champion.

JP: He's a popular Champion, but yet to defend.

Sully: That will be the big test, put that MWF World Championship on the line and everything changes.

JP: We'll see you next week when no doubt everything will have changed again, the MWF's going through a transition, tonight we said goodbye to The Jeopardizer but the new lights of the MWF are beginning to shine.

Sully: Goodnight.
