| Feb.4, 2001 Masters of Mayhem vs Racer X & "Primetime" Franky Styles |
| This was for the M.W.A. Tag-Team Titles. Ever since the company opened at the begining of December 2000, me and "Bad" Brad knew we had what it took to be the champs. But we just couldn't get the belts off the Pain Killaz. When Pill broke his arm and they were stripped of the titles we knew that it was time for the Mayhem to take over. Racer X & "Primetime" had just started teaming together at that point but they seemed to gel and worked together very well. Needless to say it wasn't a walk in the park. They gave us all we could handle and then some. But when the dust settled and the smoke cleared the Masters of Mayhem were left standing. It was the first belt I ever won. |

| Jan.7, 2001 Masters of Mayhem vs The Pain Killaz |
| This match was for the Tag-Team titles also and it was before the Pain Killaz were stripped. It was the first ever Tables Match in the M.W.A. and when I look back on it now I can't think of anyone better to have been in such a significant match than the four of us. We hated each others guts. Its weird because now Stric 9 is my partner in crime and "the baddest man in the M.W.A" but at the time I couldn't stand the guy. Nobody ever really gave Bones and I a shot at winning this one cause we were so much smaller than The Pain Killaz, but what we lacked in size we made up for with pure hatred that made us fight like we were 250lbs each. Unfortunatley we were not, but we did put up a hell of a fight before they sent us both crashing through a table. Definatly one of the most painful matches I've ever fought. I was feeling the effects of this match for a month at least!!! |

| Jan.23, 2002 "Maniac" Mike Sledge vs "Primetime" Franky Styles |
| This match was at the M.W.A.'s first ever "Extreme in the Pitt" show and it was best two out of three falls. There were no titles on the line, just pride and respect. We had fought each other several times before, both in singles and tag matches, but this one takes the cake. In the weeks leading up to this match, "Primetime" and myself had been on the same page, both with a hatred for fan favorites Racer X and Slammer. But it just couldn't last. After he interfered in a match I had against Racer X for the M.W.A. Title and cost me the win, I think we both knew that a fight was gonna happen. So we did the match at the extreme show and gave everything we had for damn near 20 minutes. The stipulation was that the first fall was a regular match, the second fall would be falls count anywhere, and if a third fall was needed it would be a tables match. "Primetime" got the best of me in the first fall but I paid him back in the falls count anywhere match, but not before he busted me open with a wrench. By the time we got to the third fall we were both exhausted. I remember how hard it was to even lift the table into the ring and get it set up. In the end, taking so long to set it up was probly the reason I lost the match because by the time I got back to "Primetime" he had recovered enough strength to reverse my attempt at a Sledge Breaker and turn it into a side suplex, driving me through the table. Even though I lost I still consider it one of my best efforts. |

| May 6, 2001 "Maniac" Mike Sledge vs Madd Rapper Mike |
| I'll be honest. The match was really nothing special. It was the first time we had ever worked together and the pace of the match was a little akward. We had some o.k. spots and moves but all in all it was pretty much an average match. There is only one reason that this match has made the list and a damn good reason at that for me to have ranked it at number two. And the reason is that it was when I first won the North-Western Championship. When my partner, "Bad" Brad Bones stabbed me in the back a little over a month before hand, I really had doubts about how far I could go in the singles division. But when I hit the Rapper with my Heavy Metal Music and the ref counted to three, every doubt I ever had was gone. And for the next six months, except for two weeks in September, there was nobody that could touch me or the North-Western title. This match is when the "aura of badassedness" officially started!!!. |

| June 7, 2001 "Maniac" Mike Sledge vs "Rad" Brad |
| This match is without a doubt my favorite match that I've ever been in. And for more than one reason. First and foremost, I got to beat the hell out of my former Mayhem partner and teach him a lesson about respect. This match was a Last Man Standing Match where the only way to win was to knock your opponent out for a ten count. I ended up doing just that with a superplex from the top rope, almost knocking myself out in the process. It took me to an eight count to get back onto my feet again. I don't think that it was just the superplex that knocked Brad out though. It was just the icing on the cake so to speak. What really got the job done was the slingshot I gave him into an exposed turnbuckle that busted him wide open half way through the match. To this day I have never seen anyone bleed so much in a wrestling match. And to be totally honest, when I saw how much he was bleeding, I'd never been happier. The bastard got exactly what he deserved for turning his back on me. Another reason this match was special was because it was the firt time I defended my N.W. Title at a Roll-a-Dome show. In case you don't know, the four Roll-a-Dome shows that the M.W.A. do are like what Pay-Per-Views are to the WWF. It was a great oppertunity to showcase my skills in front of a bigger audience and prove exactly why I was the North-Western Champion. And I think I accomplished that with this match. |
