For those who don't know, this was the tournament to determine the first MWA Champion. As most of you know, I wasn't the first Champion so clearly I lost the title match against Fabz Jones. But what you should notice is that these were my first 4 matches ever in the MWA. The X pinned Al Ritter in the first round so that both me and X made it through. Then I had to fight The X and if I got the win over The X after hitting The Final Attack, I would not only advance, but be the third member of the Regime. Then I debuted in the Regime against Darqueness where it was a very close one, but I barely came through. I did say to Ritter to give Fabz the win no matter what, but it just so happened to end up an epic win for Fabz so he changed nothing. Later on Rod got his revenge on Fabz by becoming the second MWA Champion. By this time me and Rod were already aligned, and the following week it was me and Rod at the PPV for the title, where I became the third MWA Champion. I had a contract stipulation that said every 1 on 1 match I went into I was forced to defend my title. J.J. Hunter knowing this, put me in 3 straight singles matches in one night. I defended the title until I finally lost to Rod Lightning in the World War Tournament, and with it, went my title, 8 defenses later. To this point, me and Rod Lightning are the only 2 people to hold the belt over 2 straight months now. Just thought for those of you who weren't here in the beginning would like to know how the first few months of this fed went. I didn't pay very close attention to much anything else though, but I'm sure that someone like "Blake Parish" has a great tag team title story. Oh yeah, he also has the story of how he managed to win a battle royal to face me for the title when the last 4 left were him, me, Divac Riddle (a beast) and Bosero (a larger beast!)
To go back a second, the first ever MWA title match was really hyped up to be a huge one (and trust me, it was) because on the first show, Fabz had the open challenge thing going on, I accepted, but we never quite got the match going as we always had schedule conflicts. It just so happened the match we both agreed to have was for the MWA title at the PPV, and up until the point where I told Ritter to give Fabz the belt because I had other plans in mind for a little bit he was completely baffled on who to give the win to. And to Rod, you may have stolen my longest title run in MWA history, but you also have the shortest at 1 week!!
