Episode 3

Last week on KPW's "Off The Ropes":

  • Mr Rumble informed the KPW Tag Team Champions the Renegades (The Technician and Kade Morgan "3G") that "Powerhouse" Jade Diamond and Whetu the Maori Warrior had formed a tag team to challenge for the belts!   This news that did not sit well with the champions at all.
  • Whetu managed to defeat the Brute.
  • H-Flame successfully defended the KPW Championship against Irishman Mike Ryan (with KPW GM Terry the Golden Greek).

This week

Backstage...

Mr Rumble delivered his Fire Safety Message to those KPW wrestlers in the locker room: things always had to be "a metre from the heater" ... even when they're the straitjacketed Brute!  Jonnie Juice and Inferno delegated the unpleasant task of moving the Brute to nearby Charlie Roberts.

 

Also backstage...

Jimmy Fox caught up with someone he's admired for some time... his reflection!

 

Singles match: "The Fascination" Jimmy Fox versus Lazarus Volt (with Trinket the clown)

Ref: Mark Freemantle.

The crowd had no time for the vain Jimmy Fox, but thrilled to the arrival of the ex-ringmaster Lazarus Volt and his friend Trinket the clown.   The wrestlers traded technical moves in the early going, each eager for a win to further their reputations.  Both wrestlers were evenly matched, but Fox's viciousness came to the fore and and he managed to beat down Volt.  With the crowd firmly behind the man from the circus, Volt rallied to head Fox off "at the pass" and hit the High Voltage (top rope drop kick) for the three count.

Winner: Lazarus Volt with the High Voltage for the win by pinfall.

 

"Backstage Pass", with Ilex Bell

Ilex Bell interviewed Lazarus Volt, finding out some more about his interesting taste in friends, namely Trinket the clown.

 

Singles match:  Kade Morgan "3G" versus the "Powerhouse" Jade Diamond

Ref:  Mark Freemantle

New Zealand's only third generation wrestler Kade Morgan was all set to take on the "Powerhouse" Jade Diamond.  Morgan is one half of the KPW Tag Team Champions, but could he match up to the Jade Diamond in singles competition?  One thing was for sure - the crowd didn't care for him and he didn't care for them.  Both men were very evenly matched in terms of technical ability, but Diamond used his power to batter "3G".  The match went backwards and forwards, both wrestlers trading power moves in a attempt to get the victory.  Jade Diamond looked to have the match won, hauling Morgan aloft for a powerslam, when Morgan's tag team partner The Technician came out to ringside.   Diamond was distracted by The Technician being up on the apron, allowing Morgan to lariat the Powerhouse from behind!  The Technician then joined in the attack, leaving referee Mark Freemantle no choice but to disqualify Kade Morgan.

Winner: Jade Diamond by disqualification when The Technician interfered on behalf of Kade Morgan.

Proving that they do what they like, The Renegades double-teamed Jade Diamond and left him laying in the ring, to the boos of the capacity crowd.

 

"Backstage Pass", with Ilex Bell

Ilex Bell interviewed The Technician about the controversial ending to the last match.  Despite having distracted Diamond, The Technician claimed he was merely at ringside to watch his tag team partner Kade Morgan in action!

 

Coming up next week

  • Inferno is scheduled to face Lazarus Volt.
  • Chris Deloran takes on "The Fixation" Jimmy Fox in singles competition.

 

For KPW's "Off The Ropes", this is Blair "the Flair" saying, "See you at ringside!"
