Live From Daytona Beach, Florida
MWF Superstar Tribute
I�ve paid my dues-
[Ed Walker, 2002 showing of Dynamite, looking proud in the ring, bantering with GM Fozzy]
(Ed Walker: Tonight is all about the wrestling and beginning what we haven't seen for a long time, pure wrestling, pure adrenaline and pure pride, tonight will be a night that will stick as long in the hearts as any MWF show. )
Time after time-
[ Sam King/Ross Allen, in the early heydeys]
(Sully: He destroyed him, I mean really destroyed him there, I don't think this is the last that we will be seeing of Sam King and Ross Allen.)
I�ve done my sentence-
[ The Grudge, on the very first Dynamite, '02 arm raised in victory!]
( JP: GRUDGE EFFECT! )
But committed no crime -
[ Jakk Hollow and Princess.. ]
( Jakk: I don't care if he looked funny, that man is in the corridors of power in this place.)
And bad mistakes-
[ Johny Star... ]
(Sully: Look at Star dominating! His first match in the MWF for over a year and he's showing the fans what he's made of. ).
I�ve made a few-
[ GM Fozzy laughing with the guys ]
(Fozzy: Hey guys, lets get this show on the road, I've got women to attend to, and women have got to attend to me!)
I�ve had my share of sand kicked in my face -
[Avail and Jay-Z... ]
(Avail: Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt something?
Jay-Z: Yeah, these people's viewing pleasure, your ugly face is enough to make them switch off the TV!)
But I�ve come through-
[ A classic line that the old timers will remember. ]
( Kid Insanity: Marry you...eye'd rather fight Ross Allen in a steel cage with one hand tied behind my back... )
We are the champions - my friends-
[Evans is wrenching Tempest's legs as the crowd jeer, Chad Pattison turns and sees the foot on the ropes, he calls for "The Headliner" to break the hold.]
( Sully: How did Tempest survive that Maple Leaf?
JP: I've got no idea! But he should of tapped out...I can't believe Tempest is letting Hart Evans walk all over him tonight.
And we�ll keep on fighting - till the end -
[The Vine knocks the mike from the hand of Ian Gonzales and then stamps on it, there is a piercing sound as the camera quickly switches back to JP and Sully at ringside.]
(The Vine: know that I am the future of the MWF and soon it will be back in the "Prime Time" and it will all be down to me, me, The Vine....the "Prime Time" is coming. )
We are the champions -
[Pyro explodes from the entrance way and the UWC Owner, Evan Matthews walks out onto the entrance way. He has a mike in his hand, a smart suit on, he smiles and waves to the fans.
( JP: Evan Matthews is right here on Monday Night Dynamite, what an honour. )
We are the champions-
[ The dynamic duo, at some of their best]
(JP: Everyone loves Rodney Ferno though, he has a beautiful manager...Kelly Day.
Sully: She rocks my world, I'd love to see her and Amanda getting it on, whoah that would sell some tickets for these shows.)
No time for losers-
[ Wildfire is crying, nothing can hold back the tears and he weeps into the leather of his TV Title.]
(Wildfire: Most of all.......I think........I'll miss.....this title....
�cause we are the champions - of the world -
[ Mark Rose, a name often missed in MWF history]
(Mark Rose: Allen is beatable...remember that and you shall succeed. Also you might consider wearing a protective cup. It's for your own good.)
I�ve taken my bows-
[ Fozzy/Jones- classic]
( Fozzy: You are the definition of "bitch" you know that?
Rick Jones: That's where you're wrong. I'm the definition of Canada! )
And my curtain calls -
[ The crowd jeers as Joe Foale gets to his feet and his arm is raised in truimph over the fallen Anarkist who looks very dazed and confused. Foale taunts the crowd and goes to make his way out of the ring.]
(JP: Wow!
Sully: He's done it!
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it -
[ Walker and Scotty Heart conversing.]
(Scotty Heart: Jesus christ!
Walker: You got a problem Scotty?
Heart: Yeah, I thought you were out to help us.
Walker: I am....
Heart: We obviously have very different views on what the word help means.
I thank you all -
[ Peter Santos, ring announcer...]
( Peter Santos: Introducting first, hailing from Boston, Mass., weighing in at 230 lbs, he is William Duncan McGafferty!
JP: Ha! I just love that name Sully!
Sully: Gotta agree with you there JP! I mean the name makes the wrestler. Screw the charisma and talent, if he's got a cool name he'll be going places.
But it�s been no bed of roses-
[ The Legendary Ace Spade... ]
(Doris: Ace? Ace, why are you wrapping your wrists; you aren't wrestling tonight.
Ace Spade: Oh I well may be wrestling, Dor.
No pleasure cruise -
Walker: He won't be a problem anymore, he's gone now...he's left, leave him be..please. Just think about what you are doing, just think...I'm begging....)
[Walker's words are shattered as Anarkist's gives a sadistic smile and then swings round and brings the former MWF General Manager down onto the ringstep, his back seems to snap as he hits the gap inbetween them. The crowd are silent..in shock, Walker sinks to his knees on the entrance way.]
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race -
[ Insane Wayne slaps Iniquity intimidating him as Wayne attempts to lift the stretcher with Iniquity on it, Wayne lifts the stretcher over his head as he throws Iniquity face first into the ground in a stunning finishing manoeuvre.]
(Sully: What was that from Wayne?
JP: It was like an F5 with Iniquity tied to a stretcher!)
And I ain�t gonna lose -
[Fairplay has a mic in his hand and the crowd roar as the words explode from his lips.]
(JP: What the....Jonny Fairplay!
Sully: I thought he'd died and gone to wrestling heaven....
We are the champions - my friends-
[The title is draped over the shoulder of NomaD who stands with the referee's help. Wayne helps Doomsday who mops at the blood from his brow. NomaD outstretches a hand, staggering on the spot slightly. Doomsday takes his hand and shakes it firmly, reminding the world of the sportsmanship of the MWF, and of true wrestling around the world.]
(JP: One final blow to the team of Twizted Vision! Doomsday has lost his World Title tonight, but not to an unworthy opponent! )
And we�ll keep on fighting - till the end -
(Adam The Righteous: On behalf of the esteemed President, Ed Walker, I inform you Gutter Rat, to kiss his ass. Furthermore... )
[The body of the masked Rat begins to stir, and he sits up. Adams eyes grow to the size of saucers. He promptly exits the scene as Gutter Rat begins to rise and starts shouting.]
We are the champions-
[The scene ends on Bobby Knight, beaming happily and tearfully over his father's shoulder as they share a victorious embrace, the World title held to...the side of Troy as his attention remains on the conscious Bobby, showing where his priority, and his love, lies tonight�]
( JP: Either man could have won it, but Troy Knight, who looked to have suffered a massive neck injury, and who still might never wrestle again as a result of it, grabbed the win, an inspiration to everyone, particularly those facing adversity! )
We are the champions-
[Anarkist looks confused as he draws the sledgehammer up, he looks across and The Hobo is standing on the other side of the ring with the MWF Xtreme Championship clutched to his chest. The Hobo gives Anarkist the middle finger before darting through the ropes and hot footing it up the entrance ramp.]
( JP: The Hobo is the new MWF Xtreme Champion! )
No time for losers-
[Sean Harley Promo, some of his best.]
(Sean Harley: If you people hate me that much! You'd prove it. You wouldn't just boo me, children of six can do that. I want to be that itch you can't scratch! I want to be your hate. I want to be that guy you hate so much that it makes you scream! I want to be the guy who spits in your food at the fast food restaurant. I want to be the greatest hate any of you idiots ever felt and I am going to do it, I have all that I need I got the tools to drive you all insane with hate!)
�cause we are the champions - of the world -
[ Steven Douglas would duck swiftly, needing to as it seemed that GMS had a set of brass knuckles across his fist before turning around, nailing him in the midsection again before hitting The Enervator!]
( JP: The Enervator! The Enervator! The Enervator! )
- of the world -
[Apache raises Thunder Bulls hand in the air as Thunder Bull raises the World title with the other hand. Troy still lays motionless in the ring as the fans cheer Thunder Bull and Apache who start to head up to the back..]
- of the world -
[ Fast clips portraying Leandro, Eddie Benoit, Lee "Razor" Watson, Fear, Ian Portway, Ken Cruise, Seth Caliko, Shiv, and Kronik, all in rapid succession, before the The MWF Trademark logo flashes the screen, one last time...]
( Ed Walker: Thank You, and Good Night!!! )
Doomsday
[Suddenly, the arena goes black as the lights goes out, much to the buzz of thecrowd. They start to light their lighters and raise them to the sky as theMaxiTron shows the words: "Doomsday - A True Legend". The fans roared out inthunderous applause as the screen showed Doomsday stepping out from an explosionof red pyro that came from the entrance ramp. As he walked down the ramp to thering, a familiar voice came to light:]
-][-Doomsday-][- When I first stepped into the ring of the MWF, I didn't know
that my life would change forever.
[Another set of highlights was shown as Doomsday spoke to the audience with
Nirvana's "You Know You're Right" playing in the background. It showed some
classic moments from the moment he joined the most infamous stable in MWF
history in Twisted Vizion, to his first title win as he captured the Television
Championship at A Step Too Far '04 in a thrilling Triple-Threat Match. From
winning his first World Heavyweight Championship, to becoming the first-ever MWF
Grand Slam Champion at Implosion '04 when he captured the Xtreme Championship.]
-][-Doomsday-][- When I join Twisted Vizion, I knew right then that my career as
a wrestler would take off. We proved to the world that we didn't crap from
nobody, and no one would dictate to us what we can and can not do. We became the
standard, and no other stable after us came close to what we have become.
[The fans cheered loudly as they saw the highlight of him hitting a powerbomb on
Wildfire from the scaffold of the MaxiTron at MAYhem '04]
-][-Doomsday-][- Capturing my MWF titles were important to me because I want to
prove that I was the dominant force in the MWF. I wanted to prove that I
couldn't be stop unless I stop myself from beating you or if the fans wanted me
to stop. The MWF gave me the opportunities that I wanted, and I took full
advantage of it. I thank them for that.
[Another set of highlights was shown as they revealed the fans cheering Doomsday
on during his matches and when he saluted them before and after the matches]
-][-Doomsday-][- The fans of the MWF meant everything to me. Without them, I
wouldn't exist. It is their support and love that keep me going each and every
they, especially when my neck was nearly broken during a match back in August of
'04. I will continue to hold them all in my heart because they meant so much to
myself as well as the rest of the MWF. Wherever I go, I will remember them.
[The screen freezes with a split screen of Doomsday roaring out to the crowd as
well as smiling his sadistic smile. The lights return to the applause of the
crowd as the scene fades to black, but not without the fans chanting Doomsday's
name in respect of the former MWF's Legend.]
Sean Harley
Sean Harley: Maximum Wrestling Federation, my home for almost two years. Before MWF, I was just a mere indy wrestler going from promotion to promotion before a call from Edward Walker changed my life forever.
[Sean takes a sip of water.]
Sean: Ed offered me a chance of a lifetime, to finally make that huge step on to the World stage, to make my childhood dream become a reality. I wanted to be a champion in a federation, that had respect, a legacy that I could be proud of being a part of. MWF had that legacy and that sense of honour that I have never been around before.
[Sean smiles brushing his long blonde hair out of his eyes.]
Sean: I may have only held the Television championship twice in my two year spell. But to me that was the biggest achievement and honour of my life. Now that Maximum Wrestling Federation will live on in the memory of every true wrestling fans� heart. I am so happy, so glad that I was just a part of something so great.
[Sean grins takes another sip of water.]
I AM THE PHOENIX, AND MWF YOU CAN�T BEAT THAT.
Tempest
�I first joined MWF after getting a call from Edward Walker who, because we worked together in the UWF both on a manager-wrestler basis and a manager-manager basis. I think he was probably looking to add some more�experience to the rather young roster and wanted something to offer the older members of the wrestling fan base. I can�t really imagine what else I could offer!�
[ Tempest smiles a little bit as he shuffles in his seat, dressed, as ever, in the suit that interested him most on the particular day of the interview. He reached up, rubbing at his chin in thought.
�But I think he was looking to engage a more senior roster. I think that�s why he brought in Father John Ramsey shortly before me. He saw the MWF filling with young blood like Troy Knight and Thunder Bull and thought that it was becoming a bit too�flash. A bit too �neo�. It probably helped that him and I have been friends for years before and had a good working relationship.�
[ He licked the corner of his mouth thoughtfully before returning his eyes to the camera again. ]
�I had some contacts myself such as EniGma and Odin who I quickly started to organise into a team. That part was mainly my idea but I wouldn�t have been able to have that chance if not for the freedom that Edward gave me. The Hobo showed interest in what we were doing and we happily took him on.�
[ The camera fades out before fading in again. ]
�I am going to really miss the MWF but at the same time I don�t think we could have closed on a better note. We had fantastic reputation with the other federations. We�d just come off a feud with a fellow federation and that helped our ratings that we were�were really pulling in at that point. We were certainly a federation on the up and the fact that we had to cancel the continuation of the wrestling could have been worse. Of course I�m going to miss the federation but if we had�died, if you like, at a time when we were going down hill then we would have not been so graceful in our fall. Sure, we had lost a few roster members before we closed but the ones that stayed on were just as strong as the collective of any other federation that we were in ratings competition with.�
[ Fade out, fade in. ]
�I am going to miss very much working with the members of the roster and the members of the staff of the MWF. We�ve all gone our separate ways. Some have not continued on in the wrestling business and some have. I am not sure of what my future will be like yet but I�d like to take some sort of role in the business because, put simply, wrestling is my life. I grew up wrestling and the sound of the audience is just too good to let go of. The MWF fans, in particular, were fantastic and it is them that I feel the most bad for. I loved entertaining them and I regret that I can not do it anymore.�
[ Fade out, fade in. This time, Tempest has a drink in his hand which he raises in a toast. ]
�So thank you, MWF for all of the great times. I�m sure that I will come across many of the friends that I made in that federation and I hope to work with them again some day. Undoubtedly that federation proved the toughest in terms of competition for me and I will miss the fans, the staff and the roster which I am confident was the greatest and most professional I have ever had the pleasure of working with.�
Gunman Stinger
[We see some word on the scene in a bright red saying �A MWF Tribute, created by Gundown Entertainment. Present Gunman Stinger � Word Out, from the wrestling legend.� As we just about to begin the scene, we hear some music playing in the background and it �Coldplay � Clock.� This music begin and we just hear a voice from Gunman Stinger�.]
Gunman Stinger: Being a wrestling is a brilliant thing to achieve and when I see the MWF pyro going out to my music, it always made me feel ready for anything. When people talk about MWF, we always talk about the MWF World Heavyweight Champion, Thunder Bull but I always remember the time when Kronik enter into the scene, or when Twisted Vision was formed. These moments are my memorable moment about the MWF and it has been a long two years seen it return to the scene.
When I think about the MWF, I think about my time in the MWF and when someone say to me what was my favourite moment for the MWF, I would say that my first ever match was my favourite.
[ Shown are a lot of clips from when GMS first enter into the match and when he first came out from the match. We also get the chance to see Chris Epic getting the Scorpion]
Gunman Stinger When I first started, people didn�t know how to deal with my talent and my skills as a wrestling legend, people feared my skills. On the first day on the job, my bodyguard beaten up the interviewer, I also had the chance to beat up a guy named Chris Epic and ended his pathetic career before its started.
[ Now during this we get the chance to see all of the greatest moment of GMS including when he was undefeated for five weeks, or when he defeated the WEW. This is where we get the chance to see his friends, Smithers and Phantom X who are just there helping out their boss. We also get the chance when GMS and Wayne joined focus and defeated Lunar and Johnny Karisma on Conflict 2005. Now we get to hear from the wrestling legend about his experience in the MWF.]
Gunman Stinger: I always try my best in proving to everyone that I was better than everyone in the MWF was and to this very day, I still am. No one really believe in my talent until my fans started to respected my skills and attitude about the ways of life and that made my memories my most memorable. When I get the some phone calls from my office saying about one of my fans just want to ask for an autograph, it makes all of the beating, all of the feuds and all of the trouble go away because it makes me feel like I belong here.
[ We see even more clips of Gunman Stinger memorable moments as we see all of this time in 2005 as when he won against Gutter Rat for the Television Championship, when he was in the with team MWF against team MWF. There was so many moment and some that was never been seen before and we cut into one of these moment right now�]
Gunman Stinger: I just feel so proud about my time in the MWF that it make me feel more alive than before and I just love that feeling, the feeling of knowing that your just enjoying life as what is it.
[ We are now seeing clips from all of his match where we are showcase from GMS moves list including Scorpion Slam, Scorpion Cutter, Xtreme Head Butt, Scorpion DDT, Scorpion Mountain Drop, T-bone Suplex, German Suplex, Spine-Time and of course Lastknife Powerbomb. While the music is still playing, GMS is now speaking again.]
Gunman Stinger: I am a man that always respect those who have been with us in the MWF and I feel that I want to say thank you Exodus for making me into a better wrestler that I am today. Because of his skills he made me understand that you can bring something to the world of wrestling and that is something that everyone in MWF should take aboard and just say thank you for having us and just remember that we made history today�
[ As we see a few more clips on GMS about him leaving the MWF family, we see some clips of him saying goodbye to his friends and also some clips where GMS is just standing in the middle of the ring and just smelling the atmosphere. And as the scene is fading out, we get to see some word saying �Thank you for the Memories, MWF R.I.P 2002 � 2005.�]
Gutter Rat
[ We see the Rat Bastard, pre-taped, in the alleys of Guttersville, Sin City. He has a few words of his own he'd like to express.]
Gutter Rat: There's one in every crowd, isn't there? That's how the saying goes... I've never been much of a follower though, and if nothing else, I call 'em like I see them...
[ Gutter Rat stands walking nearer to the camera. ]
Gutter Rat: The MWF is dead they say, and that is no more true than the land of Heaven... The MWF didn't die... No, Ed Walker let it become Raped by the WEW, and sold his franchise guys of one at a time, while the fodder scrambled to not end up homeless...
But it did NOT die...
[ He chuckles, and lets his hair fall ovetr his masked face.]
Gutter Rat: For every one of us that survived, for every wrestler that had one match in the MWF, those times, those feelings, those experiences will carry us on, carry us forth, and no matter where we all end up, we'll always consider ourselves a bunch of MwF'ers...
[ He backs up a step and gets into frame. ]
Gutter Rat: Screw you, Ed Walker...
[ He shakes his head like a thoughtfull parent. ]
Gutter Rat: And at the same time, bub, thanks...
[ Fade to black. ]
Anarkist
[ We see Anarkist sitting down in front of a red curtain, he�s wearing a tight black t-shirt emblazed with the MWF logo. He looks relaxed, leaning back in the chair with his huge arms crossed over his chest. ]
Anarkist: It�s hard to believe that I�m sitting here today, about to say a final goodbye to the Maximum Wrestling Federation; the home that Anarkist built! Over two years ago, I got the call from Ed, but I can remember our conversation like it was yesterday. I was over in UWF, another place he had a strong hand in building, all behind the scenes of course, and I was just kicking off my then young career. Like always, causing waves with everything I did, Walker knew that when he re-opened the doors to the MWF that he needed me to be a part of it. Little did I know at the time, that we would soon do everything in his power to hold me down, but that�s another story.
[ Anarkist adjusts himself in his chair. ]
Anarkist: Even though Walker and I, to this day, do not see eye to eye, and we never have, there�s no questioning the genius of that man. He had a mind for wrestling like no other man I�ve never seen anyone know how to communicate with the staff, with the talent and more importantly with the fans. Because in the end, above all else we are getting paid to put on one hell of a show for the millions of people tuning in at home, the thousands in attendance, it�s all for them. Often people�s perspectives get distorted, and it becomes about the money or fame, but ultimately the fans dictate that fame and fortune. Ed�s keen sense of what the fans wanted was and still is unparalleled.
[ Anarkist now sits forward, having thought of a thought provoking story to tell.]
Anarkist: My career easily established it�s self in the MWF and along with guys like Ross Allen, Sam King, JayZ, Gutter Rat, Troy Knight, Insane Wayne, Ace Space, Tempest, Doomsday, The Grudge, Thunder Bull, the list is endless! I know I�m forgetting some, that�s how huge it is! Walker made all of us the people we are today, whether we want to admit it or not. The man pushed us to our limits, demanding nothing shy of our maximum! He ran his ship on all cylinders, never holding anything ever, and so all he asked was the same from his roster!
[ Anarkist smiles somewhat, sitting straight back into the chair. ]
Anarkist: Walker did some ruthless things to me and my family, for that I will never forgive him. I could never forgive him! But I have to give the devil his due! I had the time of my life in the MWF, I wouldn�t trade a second of my time there for anything in the world. Wrestling is what I love, it�s what I breath, it�s what I live. For almost two years Ed gave the world and all those part of his organization the chance to live a dream. For that, Ed, and that alone�
[ Anarkist shakes his head, having trouble to believe what he�s about to say. ]
Anarkist: � thank you!
[ Anarkist looks into the camera and his face spells sincerity. He isn�t enjoying showing gratitude to Edward Walker, but the sentiments he�s expressing can be evidently seen as legitimate. The scene then fades to black. ]
