-Vick channeled his anger to control most of the match against Kidman. Kidman though also had his moments. In the end Kidman orchestrated a ref bump to knock out Tony Zerucha, and then Sean Waltman hit the ring and helped Kidman finish off Vick. Zerucha recovered and made the pin. However, after having declared Kidman the winner, Kidman and Waltman continued to beat up on Vick. When Zerucha tried to get them to back off they shoved Zerucha, not once, but twice to the canvas. That's when the rookie referee earned his stripes and reversed the decision giving the win to Vick.

 

The tag team champions Asp Evergreen and Eddie Chavez were Johnny on the spot coming out to make the save.

 

The MAPW Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar and Rena Mero came to the ring. They basically gloated over their victory against Adam Riggs last week, and made sure that everyone knew their thoughts as to Lesnar being the greatest wrestler in the history of amateur and professional wrestling. Lesnar finishes by throwing out that he isn't afraid of Mike Tyson, and that if that has-been wants a shot at Brock at Lock & Load then all he has to do is ask.

 

 

Referee James Beard comes out first for the Main Event match between Adam Riggs and Blaze Bayley.

 

Next we get a nice recap of how Riggs injured Bayley and was subsequently suspended, removing both of them from MAPW for several months. This is their first in ring meeting since that malicious act.

 

 

The fans cheer as iconic Robert "Blaze" Bayley makes his way to the ring. For many years this superstar of the NWA, WWA, and PWA was too big for MAPW, but with all the changes in the wrestling landscape over the past few years the talent pool in MAPW is now as deep as it has been since 1985.

 

 

As loud as the fans cheered for Blaze they jeered even louder and with more passion against the Irish thug, the self proclaimed phenom of pro wrestling, and the biggest bigot this side of David Duke you will ever find...Adam Riggs.

 

Riggs stops outside the ring, refusing to enter. Bayley tries to leave the ring to get at him but Beard does enough to stall him until,

 

 

The fans cheer as the commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper comes down to the ring. He tells both Bayley and Riggs to hold on a minute, he wants to introduce the special enforcer for tonight, someone they are both familiar with. Someone they have both fought in the NWA, PWA, and WWA. A former NWA champion, Brandon Myers.

 

 

There is about a 10 second pause to build up the anticipation as the crowd buzzes, some cheer, some boo. Suddenly the carpet parts and down the ramp comes the familiar face of Brandon Myers...in a electric wheelchair.

 

The fans are in a state of shock. Some chant derogatory things at Myers, assuming this is some sort of hoax. Even the usual unflappable Adam Riggs is in stony silence. Piper leaves the ring with the mic and meets up with Myers on the floor.

 

Myers] thanks Roddy, you are a true friend indeed. You see fellas, Piper is worried about you two, and the other athletes in the back. Sure MAPW isn't "extreme" and there are far more violent things going on out there, but still, its a dangerous sport even at its most basic form. Look at the long list of overdoses and pre-mature heartattacks. Bayley man, face it, you are growing old, and if the injuries keep piling up your arthritis is going to cripple you, or your going to get hooked on pain killers, if you aren't already. Riggs, man, one day if some jealous husband with a shotgun doesn't do it first, someone is going to cripple you in the ring out of spite...maybe that someone will be Brock Lesnar. I'm here at ringside today to remind you guys of what will happen if you let things get out of hand, tonight, tomorrow, and the days to follow. As for me, well this is a result of bad living, lots of pain killers, and trying to water ski too close to a dock with a vodka sour in one hand. But the truth is that if it hadn't happened that day in Florida, it would have happened in some motel room, because there was too much pain.

 

Riggs walks out to check on Myers. He takes the mic.

 

Riggs] Man that is one sorry state that you are in. I always thought you were a punk, but I didn't know you were a charity case. How much is Piper paying you for this? You disgust me Myers..go back to the hospital with all the other cripples. And make room for another invalid coming tonight by the name of Blazing Gayley, because all seeing you does for me is to give me a goal for tonight to make my opponent join you.

 

Riggs then gives Myers a kick in the shins and laughs at him saying "you can't even feel that you waste of oxygen".

 

Riggs' fun is interupted by a right hand from Blaze Bayley to the side of the head. Blaze grabs Riggs and bounces his head off the top of the guardrail, then tosses him into the ring. The bell rings to start the match.

 

 

 

Bayley has the advantage and preses with punches and kicks, but also a flying backelbow, belly to belly suplex, and a kneedrop from the top rope. He doesn't even go for the pin though as he knows how tough it is to pin Riggs.

Bayley nails a dropkick but when he goes for a second Riggs grabs onto the top rope and Bayley hits nothing but air. Riggs lays the boots to Bayley. He lifts him up only to drive his thumb to the throat, and then nail him with a swinging punch that drapes Bayley over the top rope. Riggs lifts up Bayley's feet to choke him over the top strand before using the ropes to catapult Blaze back to the middle of the ring. Riggs scoops up Bayley and after showing off his stength drops him backward to the mat. Again Riggs resorts to a series of stomps, and then gets down to the mat to choke Bayley.

The Irish thug picks up Blaze and throws him through the second and third ropes to the floor below. He follows and bodyslams Bayley right on top of the ringsteps. He then lays the ringsteps on top of Bayley and climbs to the ring aporn. Referee Beard pulls the steps off of Bayley just in time and Riggs lands on Bayley's chest with a stomp. Riggs wastes time jawing with Beard, and then dragging Bayley by the ankle over to Brandon Myers and telling Bayley to take a long look at his next roommate.

Back inside the ring Riggs applies a bearhug with Bayley suspended in the air. Bayley has a bit of fight left in him and after a few weak shots to the head of Riggs, the Irishman is annoyed and suplexes Bayley over to the mat, pins, 1, 2 Kickout.

Riggs continues to punish Bayley for a couple more minutes working over primarily his back, even using the ringpost as an anchor as he pulled on the legs and arms of Bayley while standing outside the ring.

From his knees Bayley began his slow comeback. He attacked the inner thigh of Riggs with some punches, and then he bit Riggs in the thigh. He pulled down the larger man to the mat and put on an STF for a few seconds before Riggs was able to break it.

Bayley gets to his feet and then hits Riggs with a front layout suplex, but doesn't get full elevation because of his aching back. Bayley comes off the ropes and catches Riggs with a flying knee to the chest. He then lays in some mounted punches on Riggs, bouncing the Irishman's head off the mat. Bayley is on fire sending Riggs to the ropes and taking him down with a spinebuster slam. He crisscrosses the ropes and then nails Riggs with a kneedrop to the forehead. Riggs' head pops up off the mat from the force of the blow, and then bounces back down.

Dan Severn suddenly appears at ringside. Severn climbs onto the ring apron distracting referee James Beard. Severn's protege The Stalk comes from the other side of the ring. Severn even tries to grab the arm of Beard, but the ref spins away from the grab, and sees Stalk on the other side. The veteran ref stands in the middle of the ring trying to warn both Severn and Stalk to stay out of the ring. Bayley had been applying the pin but with no count he looks up, and then gets up to confront Severn.

Bayley and Severn begin to trade punches, with Severn on the ring apron. Beard starts to apply a count to Stalk to get off the ring apron.

The announcers are going berserk as April Hunter rolls into the ring from the other side. She nails Bayley with her Running Standing Somersault Neckbreaker, and he is out cold. Beard didn't see a thing.

Severn, Stalk, and Hunter withdraw. After a few seconds Riggs manages to be the first one up, and drapes an arm over Bayley. Beard reluctantly applies the count, 1, 2, 3 !!

 

 

Post-Match:

The fans are jeering and throwing debris at the ring. Adam Riggs gets to his knees and has his arm raised briefly by Beard who then tries to drag Bayley out of the ring, rightfully smelling trouble.

April Hunter is joined by Dana Hamm, Dan Severn, and the Stalk inside the ring. Severn menaces Beard who reluctantly leaves the ring without Bayley. The four of them wait until Riggs is back on his feet. The Irishman gives the thumbs down signal and Hunter, Hamm, and the Stalk descend on Bayley like a pack of wolves.

The crowd errupts as Sam Holiday, Diamond Dallas Page, and Sean O'Haire hit the ring. They begin to clean house but it doesn't last. Riggs catches DDP from behind with a lowblow, and then helps Severn double team O'Haire. In the meantime Holiday pauses because he refuses to fully fight back against women, so Hamm and Hunter lay in some licks while he just defends himself and tries to get to the aid of Bayley who is currently suffering in an armbar being applied by the Stalk.

 

It's complete mayhem, and then the fans errupt as Rowdy Roddy Piper makes his way down to the ring...
