[2000-04-22-MPPW-TV] Wolfie D vs Derrick King

Recommended Posts

Wolfie backs King into the corner and starts to unload, however King quickly reverses things and he’s the one doing the unloading. Big backdrop and a dropkick for an early two. Tilt-a-whirl headscissors. King posts Wolfie, covers him again, but this time he’s able to get a foot across the bottom rope. Sleeper hold, Wolfie shoots him off and replies with one of his own, although King then counters with a belly to belly suplex. Rear chinlock and Wolfie with a jawbreaker to escape. Running powerslam by D for two. He misses a ‘Stinger splash’ in the corner, King ducks under a clothesline and hits a ‘Rude Awakening’ neckbreaker. Superkick attempt, but Wolfie pulls the referee in the way and he’s the one who gets hit. As King tends to the official Wolfie attacks him from behind, spinning powerbomb, however there’s no-one to make the count. A few seconds later a second referee slides into the ring and a great nearfall as King gets his shoulder up at two. Wolfie telegraphs a backdrop and King with a backslide for two of his own. Facebuster and now ‘Evil Knieval’ is and drops an elbow on the official to stop the count. King with a superkick to Evil, but Wolfie then tosses him through the ropes to the floor. Brandon Baxter is out and throws King into the ringpost. He rolls him back into the ring, spinning powerbomb and that’s enough for the win.

 

We return after some advertisements and King is confronting Randy Hales who was commentating on the match. King says how everyone saw what just happened and he was screwed out of his dream again. He tells Hales that, after what he just did, he wants Brandon Baxter in the ring today, but Randy says how the show is loaded and they don’t have the time. King say how he’s noticed that you can’t be a nice guy around here; the guys with all the heat they get to do what they want, but he doesn’t! He gives Hales one more chance to give him a match and again he says how they’re running late. King tips over the announcer’s desk and starts pushing Hales wanting Baxter out here now. Randy again tells him that he doesn’t have time, but what he will do is add them both to next week’s ‘Evening the Odds’ match and they will be the first two men in there.

 

Another good outing from Wolfie and King and the two of them work so well together. Just like previously though the finish drags this one down with the overbooked outside interference, ref bumps etc. The Cartel is approaching groan territory for me and that’s not good. Real strong promo from King at the end, although it would help if Randy Hales could keep a straight face when King is in his face, pushing him and tipping the desk over!

Another good outing between these two but I did prefer the match from the week before. The interference with the Cartel is something you do expect from Memphis but pretty uncreative here with Wolfie reaping the rewards and Randy Hales on commentary not doing much of anything about it. King continues to impress. **1/2
