Knicky V James Kash

Bio Warfare 3! James Kash and KnicKy took on each other in what would later be described as one of the finest wrestling matches in IWF history! Neither man wanted to lay down for the other, neither man wanted to quit; this lead to both men pulling out all the stops, every move in their arsenal, every counter and every submission hold. Almost 35 minutes later, James Kash snatched an opportunity that only a few men have had the chance to grab, and managed to catch KnicKy on his shoulders for the three count. KnicKy offered his respect to Kash in the form of a hand shake, but Kash just walked from the ring; the smile on his face showing no respect.

Bio Warfare seemed to be a turning point for James Kash, as the pinfall over KnicKy propelled him to new heights in the business,and a new low professionally. James seemed to feel invincible, and it showed as he ran his mouth about the following Mayhems, and his actions spoke louder than his many words. It was only a matter of time, until KnicKy himself stood up to the new “God” in IWF, and challenged him to a rematch! Kash accepted his challenge, and took it upon himself to throw around his “God” status. The stipulations for the re-match: no holds barred! Everything seemed to be ready for KnicKyV Kash II, but James wasn’t done yet! Taking a once-of moment, Kash turned what should’ve been a defining moment in KnicKy’s career, and turned it into a night he would never forget! Attacking KnicKy during a title shot against Montana, Kash ruined his chances of gold, and then turned his attention to those front row: KnicKy’s girlfriend and best friend. Kash knocked out KnicKy’s best friend, and threw his girlfriend about the ring; whilst KnicKy had to watch on helpless, handcuffed to the bottom rope. There wasn’t anytimefor KnicKy to seek his revenge though, as Collision Course was upon them only six days later! What happened there, was no five-star classic wrestling match...

Collision Course 3! The no holds barred stipulation, recently enforced by General Manager Edward Redding with recommendation from James Kash, took to KnicKy’s side indefinintely. James barely managed to gain any real momentum in the match, as KnicKy man handled him from the beginning of the match to the end. Using everything from a closed fist, to a steel chair and a ladder, KnicKy busted open James Kash, and beat him to within an inch ofhis life. The match was stopped by the referee due to Kash’s inability to defend himself, and KnicKy was declared the winner. EMT’s rushed James to the back and to the hospital, as KnicKy “celebrated” his victory.

The following weeks were hectic ones, as the second IWF Draft was upon everyone! No one was safe, absolutely no one; not even James Kash who had been hospitalised from Collision Course 3! KnicKy was the first man drafted from Monday Night Mayhem to Hardcore Impact, and as the weeks progressed it seemed as though James Kash had managed to duck KnicKy, staying on opposite shows! In the final week, the final draw was James Kash from Monday Night Mayhem to Hardcore Impact, much to the delight of KnicKy; however his joy was short lived as a last minute trade was made - James Kash for Montana! KnicKy didn’t take well to the news, and this started a long running fued against the new General Manager of Hardcore Impact - Casey O’Connor!

KnicKy had his hands full on Hardcore Impact, to the extent that he had no time to deal with James Kash who had returned to Monday Night Mayhem almost two months after Collision Course 3! KnicKy made two ‘guest appearances’ on Mayhem to ‘visit’ James, however O’Connor made sure their paths wouldn’t meet for much longer...

Final Impact was almost upon us, and with another long title run under James Kash’s name, he looked to be going in to Final Impact the champion! It was at Over the Edge though, that things went wrong for James Kash; and very right for KnicKy! Kash defended his title, merely escaping the returning Chris Kendo. With the recent title defence from James Kash, things seemed ready to go, until the winner of the Over the Edge match, KnicKy, decided he would challenge for Kash’s title! With only seven weeks to go before the biggest show of the year, nobody thought things would escalate the way they did! Kash and KnicKy took countless shots at the other, whether it be a verbal berating or a cheap shot in the back, both men wanted to make sure that they would go into their match with as little momentum as possible!

Kerry: These two men have never fully settled their differences! Kash managed to out do KnicKy in a wrestling match almost ten months ago... Josh:...But KnicKy fought right back when they met the second time in a no holds barred match! James Kash had to be hospitalised because of injuries suffered at the hands of KnicKy, so we know KnicKy isn’t out of his league! Kerry: KnicKy certainly can roll with James Kash, and vice versa. Their first match was a five star classic...

Josh: ...Their second match was an all out brawl! Now - it’s time for the rubber match! Kerry: We’ve seen these two men confront each other for bragging rights, and for vengeance - but what will happen when the title, their egos and their pride will be on the line!? What is upon us now,will go down in the books as the conclusion of the most heated rivalry since Mike Chaos and Montana! These two men truly will stop at nothing to be victorious, but who in the end will leave with the title in their hands, and their pride intact!?

Jessica: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s main event is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the IWF Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the world! Introducing first, he is the challenger in tonight’s bout - he weighs in tonight at 210 pounds at a height of 5 foot 11; he hails from Brisbane Australia; he is KnicKy!

Downfall [Trust Company] begins to play throughout the arena as KnicKy makes his way out onto the stage. The crowd erupts as he dances about on the stage, and makes his way towards the front of the stage, looking about the roaring crowd. KnicKy drops to his knees and looks out at the crowd, soaking in the feeling as pyros shoot off from behind him, blue and white pyros. He hops to his feet and makes his way down the ring and claps hands with several fans, before he slides into the ring and paces about; bouncing off the ropes now and then. The music slowly dies down, as KnicKy looks up at the stage and focuses, loosening his neck and wrists shaking them.

Jessica: And introducing the Champion in tonight’s bout! He weighs in tonight at 275 pounds at a height of 6 foot 7, he hails from Lake Jackson, Texas; he is James Kash!

The lights in the arena shut off and darkness sweeps the audience as they go silent. An immense show of green pyros shoot off from the stage and rampway, almost completely lighting the arena as So Determined [Mudvayne] begins to play. James Kash makes his way out from behind the curtain and onto the stage as the arena is lit with green and white lights. James stops atop of the stage and unhooks his belt from his waist and holds it high in the air, the smug look on his face really grinding the crowd. The boos flood the arena as James brushes it off and walks down the ramp towards KnicKy, holding his title firmly in his right hand by his side. He steps up the steel stairs and steps between the ropes as he goes to the corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle - posing for the crowd holding his title high above his

head. James hops off the turnbuckle and comes face to face with KnicKy, as KnicKy looks down at the title, then up at James.

The referee steps between the two men and begins to pat them both down, before he takes Kash’s title and shows the arena the prize at stake. He shortly after hands the title to the ring side staff and asks for the bell.

Both men begin to circle the ring, not taking their eyes off each other, before they lock up centre of the ring. James quickly breaks the lock up and pulls away, circling the ring once more. KnicKy stepsinto Kash and the two lock up once more, again Kash backs out and retreats to a corner, as if to size up KnicKy in the beginning. KnicKy paces a little across from Kash, before he approaches him once more and the two men lock up. KnicKy shoves Kash back one full step before James breaks the lock up for a third time and rolls out of the ring. James ‘catches his breath’ as KnicKy watches on from in the ring for several moments, the referee beginning his count. Kash finally rolls back into the ring, and watches KnicKy very carefully as the two men lock up for a fourth time! KnicKy, wanting to get into the match tries too quickly for a head lock and Kash takes advantage of it; digging his knee into the abdomen of his foe - before he breaks the lock up once more. KnicKy stands upright and coughs before he circles the ring again, wiping his mouth and looking at his challenger across from him. Kash steps into KnicKy,and the two men lock up once more, as Kash just breaks it off again and steps back a bit. KnicKy, having dealt with James’ backing out before, rushes him and gets hit with a straight right hand from Kash!

Kerry: Oh you don’t like to see it Josh, but it happens in today’s sport, even to the best of them! Josh: You’re too right Kerry! James toyed with KnicKy a little at the beginning of the match, breaking the lock ups one after the other, and it got to him. KnicKy rushed James and it didn’t pay off!

James quickly straddles KnicKy and begins to unload with right hands, as KnicKy tries to cover up. The referee gives James to the count of five, and finally pulls him off to give KnicKy some room. James looks at the referee and goes right back to KnicKy, grabbing him and hoisting him to his feet - whipping him across the ring, taking him down off the rebound with a big clothesline. Kash goes for a cover looking for a miracle, but only gets two. James doesn’t stop as he stomps away at his long time foe, working on his chest and face for the most part. KnicKy manages to get to the ropes, as James backs off for a second. He races off into the ropes and sprints across the ring at his challenger, and baseball slides him from the ring to the outside. He hops to his feet, a cocky grin on his face as he looks at the prone KnicKy on the outside. The referee begins his ten count, as James rolls out of the ring and goes right after KnicKy, dragging him over to the barricade. James stands KnicKy against the barricade and throws a wild right hand, and connects. Kash looks over at the crowd, tempting a fan to hit him as KnicKy springs to life, and delivers aaudible chop to the bare chest of James Kash! James steps back holding his chest, as KnicKy shakes some cobwebs loose and delivers another chop, following it with a third one, harder than the first two! KnicKy shoves Kash into the ring and follows him in, dropping his knee into the lower spine of the champion. KnicKy stumblesa little as he grabs Kash and lifts him up to his feet, Kash managing to connect with an upper cut once at his feet; KnicKy stumbles backwards and Kash capitalises with a standing dropkick. KnicKy goes down hard as Kash covers him only getting another two count. He is not however, deterred by the near fall as he just grabs his challenger and hoists him to his feet, shoving him into the corner. Kash stands before KnicKy and methodically places left and right fists, taking his time with each blow. KnicKy tries to cover up, but is unsuccessful as Kash knocks more and more life from him, with each blow. After one vile shot to the face, Kash steps back into the far corner, and sizes up his foe before rushing at him! Kash runs full pace at KnicKy and squashes him in the corner with a clothesline/body splash. KnicKy stumbles forwards onto Kash who remains in the corner, and James just shoves him back against the turnbuckle. He laughs a little as he climbs up onto the second turnbuckle and looks down at the helpless KnicKy. Kash throws a big right hand and connects, as the crowd begins to count with him. Kash throws a second, a third, a fourth and fifth right hand; each one connecting to KnicKy’s face and doing some damage. Kash pausesa little, and poses for the crowd a little before he throws his sixth, his seventh and eight. The crowd, still counting the punches, begins to boo Kash as he looks out at the crowd once more, his facial expressions showing the

sheer joy he is experiencing. KnicKYquickly interrupts it, as he grabs Kash and picks him up on his shoulders! KnicKy takes a step out from the corner and falls to his back, dropping Kash onto the top turnbuckle face first, as the crowd pops big time to the counter!

Kerry: I think James got a little too cocky for his own good there, Josh! Josh: Tehehehe, cocky...

James stumbles back a little from the turnbuckle as he tries to regain himself,KnicKy just begins the climb back to his feet. James finally falls to his back, centre of the ring as KnicKy gets to his feet, and spots James in the centre of the ring. Wasting no time, KnicKy rushes at James and jumps into the air for a leg drop, but the champion rolls out of the way and sendshis challenger crashing into the mat backside first. Both men get back to their feet and meet in the centre of the ring as James throws a clothesline; KnicKy ducks it and hits a neckbreaker! James shows no signs of stopping just yet, as he rolls over twice to the ropes and already begins to pull himself up to his feet, as KnicKy gets to all fours and watches him. The challenger climbs to his feet as the champion does the same, but it’s KnicKy who has control as he grabs James and sets him up for a back suplex and connects, slamming Kash onto his head and neck hard! KnicKy stands over the prone James Kash, as he tries a different approach to turning him onto his stomach, and drops to his side and tries to lock in his Crippler Crossface! James tries desperately to avoid the attack, as he scrambles towards the ropes in a panic! KnicKy manages to lock in the Crossfaceas the crowd pops big time, but Kash manages to get a hand on the bottom rope! KnicKy reluctantly releases the hold, as he grabs Kash’s foot and drags him to the centre of the ring. KnicKy turns James over onto his back, and looks for his patterned Sharpshooter; but the champion kicks him off, panic still pulsing through his body. KnicKy lands on his back but gets right back to his feet, as Kash rolls out of the ring. James stumbles outside the ring against the announcer’s table as he catches his breath, KnicKy looking on from within the ring. KnicKy looks in disgust at the champion, and races off into the ropes, sprinting across the ring at James Kash; he dives through the ropes to the outside, crashing into James face first and tackles him into the announcer’s table! The crowd jumps to their feet, as KnicKy slams into the corner of the table face first, James’ back slamming into the corner with as much impact! Both men go down, KnicKy laid out flat before the announcer’s table, James Kash rolling over the table and crashing into Josh and Kerry.

Kerry: God dammitKnicKy get him off us! Beat his ass in the ring, not out hear at ring side!

Josh: Kerry shuttup! James looks hurt, badly! Did you see how his back bent backwards against our table!?

KnicKy climbs to his feet, his forehead busted wide open from the attack, blood already covering half his face, and looks over at James. He stumbles backwards into the ring apron and rolls into the ring to break the referee’s count, before rolling to the outside and grabbing Kash from the announcer’s seats. He hoists him up onto the announcer’s table, which is still intact, and looks about at the crowd, the blood making its way down onto his chest. Kash makes it to one foot on the table, holding his back tightly, as KnicKy grabs him and hoists him to both feet angrily. KnicKy grabs Kash and lifts him up into the air over his shoulder, and brings him down with some impact with a devastating spine buster, atop of the announcer’s table - the table not giving way at the manoeuvre. The crowd’s reaction doesn’t stop KnicKy though, the “Oh” from them not seeming to phasehim, as he rolls Kash into the ring, motionless now. KnicKy hops onto the apron and walks over to a corner, and ascends to the top turnbuckle, looking down at his long time foe and enemy, in the centre of the ring. KnicKy doesn’t take anytimeto think about it, he just dives into the air and connects with a diving head butt on James Kash! KnicKy goes for the cover ... one .... two .... butno, James gets his shoulder up off the canvas. The crowd jump to their feet, expecting the pinfall as KnicKy rolls off his opponent and begins the painful climb to his feet. He looks down at Kash, who has just managed to roll over onto his side, and drags him up to his feet. Kash, almost dead weight, gets to his feet and looks into KnicKy’s eyes, as KnicKy talks a little trash in the centre of the ring. KnicKy takes a step back from Kash and delivers a super kick, but James manages to catch it before impact, and executes a single leg sweep on KnicKy! James, almost flawlessly, turns KnicKy onto his stomach and tries to lock in an ankle lock! KnicKy is quick to counter however, as he rolls over head and throws James Kash forward; James remaining on his feet and turning to face KnicKy immediately. KnicKy gets to his feet as Kash storms at him and hits a shoulder block! Kash follows it up quickly by delivering an elbow drop to the sternum of his foe, trying to keep him on the mat. Kash stumbles about the ring, holding his lower back in agony. KnicKy begins to get to his feet, as Kash spots him and walks over to him. He helps KnicKy to his feet and whips him across the ring, hitting a back body drop on his challenger as he bounces off the ropes. KnicKy slams into the canvas hard, and instinctively gets right back to his feet. Kash turns and grabs KnicKy, and hits a scoop slam, centre of the ring. Wanting to keep him down on the mat, James jumps into the air for a knee drop, but KnicKy rolls out of harm’s way. Kash crashes and burns, as KnicKy climbs back up to his feet. KnicKy pounces on Kash and tries to lock in his sharpshooter once more, getting his legs nearly hooked before Kash pulls him down onto the mat into a pinning predicament one ... two .. but no, KnicKy kicks out! Both men climb to their feet, as if they had just started the bout, and come face to face and begin to exchange rights and lefts, before James blocks an attack, and kicks KnicKy in the stomach. KnicKy buckles, as Kash sets him up for a

powerbomb! He hoists him up onto his shoulders and slams him down onto the canvas, shoving his bodyweight onto KnicKy’s shoulder’s against the mat, in a pin one .. two ..... butno! KnicKy gets his shoulder off the mat, squirming out of the pin barely! James Kash looks at the referee in disbelief as the crowd make it back to their seats, KnicKy rolls onto his stomach motionless.

Kerry: My god! I thought it was over, everybody in this arena, including James Kash thought it was over! Josh: How in the hell did KnicKy manage to squirm out of that!?

James gets to his feet and grabs KnicKy, angered now, and shoves him into the corner. Kash stumbles over to him, and begins to unload with vicious rights and lefts, cracking him anywhere from his stomach to his forehead! Kash doesn’t stop, even to the referee’s advisement, and has to be forced away from KnicKy. James looks at the referee and walks back over to his challenger, when he is caught off guard with a disturbing head butt from KnicKy! Their heads crack together so hard that James is busted open, as blood dribbles slowly down his forehead. KnicKy looks at Kash, who is somewhat in disbelief at the attack, and raises his hand to his head as he falls to the mat, KnicKy falling on top of him for the pin one ..... two ....... but Kash rolls his shoulder up.

Kerry: Instinct. It has to be instinct Josh! Josh: I think it was, Kerry! Guys like KnicKy and James just hear that hand coming down for a third time, and instinctively get their shoulders off the canvas!

KnicKy rolls off of Kash, as both men lay motionless in the ring. The referee begins his ten count, as neither man shows signs of life...

One... Two... Three... Four... Five... Six...

Seven... Eight... Nine...

The referee stops the count, as KnicKy gets to his feet, and as Kash gets to one foot. Both men are shaking, their muscles on the verge of giving way, their will power running thinner and thinner with each passing moment. KnicKy looks over at James and stumbles over to him, but is caught when the champion locks his left hand firmly around the neck of his challenger! Kash, with all his might climbs to both feet and throws a sickening right hand to the temple of KnicKy, his left hand still clasping his throat! Kashlifts KnicKy up onto his shoulders setting him up for his finisher the Down Payment [F-5 into RKO]. Kash throws KnicKy from his shoulders and turns his body for the finisher but it’s countered, as KnicKy lands behind him, and drops to the mat taking James with him locking in his Crippler Crossface! The crowd get to their feet as KnicKy reefs back, his hands clasped firmly around Kash’s face, the pain pulsing through James’ body, every time his heart beats! Kash writhes in pain, his yells of pain barely heard with his mouth covered as he reaches desperately for the ropes, clawing his way towards them with all his might! The crowd roars louder and louder with each passing second, as KnicKy continues to apply the pressure, the life slowly begins to fade from the champion! The referee gets down before Kash and raises his hand into the air...it drops to the mat lifeless! He signals it, and raises it a second time in the air...again it drops to the mat lifeless! KnicKy reefs back a little as the referee raises his hand into the air for a third time...it falls but Kash snaps to life and stops it before it hits the mat. He shakes his hand about in the air, the pressure building, the pain only increasing as he reaches for the mat one last time, before he shifts his weight and rolls KnicKy over onto his shoulders. The referee makes the count, as KnicKy releases the hold and squirms from the pinning predicament!

Kerry: What more could these two men give us here tonight, Josh!? They’ve both put themselves through hell so far, neither man wants to quit! Josh: It might be a win in the books, but will these men even be able to celebrate their victory here tonight!?

Both men remain motionless on the canvas for several seconds,before they pull themselves to their feet, face to feet. Upon getting to both feet, they use each other to support themselves, Kashpulls back off KnicKy, who stumbles forward one step, as the champion throws a wild right armed clothesline - it’s ducked, as KnicKy

turns and grabs Kash for the 47-15! He connects with it centre of the ring and covers him, hooking a leg desperately one .... two ..... three!

Kerry: It’s over! It’s over! My god it’s finally over! These two men have beaten each other senseless here tonight, but on this occasion it was KnicKy who came out the better man! Josh: It’s all over, Kerry! These two men have given us a match that will, without a doubt in my mind, go down as a classic in the history books! It’s a conclusion to a rivalry that’s lasted almost 11 months, and has culminated in the champion being defeated by the man he defeated to start the fued!

The referee grabs the title and places it on the chest of KnicKy, who has rolled onto his back. He raises his hand into the air as his music begins to play, as both men lie on the canvas, their faces covered in blood. The crowd erupts in cheers as flashes from cameras only flood the arena.
