Donovan Ruddick Unifies the Titles!

We have a new champion.  He’s big and bad; with Travis Cook, he may be unstoppable.

Last night at South Broadway, Dave Vaughn wrestled “The Future” Donovan Ruddick in a rematch from the September 11th debacle (in which the match was ruled a time limit draw).

Vaughn’s MO/IL Heavyweight Championship was on the line against the monstrous champion of the Heritage Wrestling Coalition, “The Future.”

Before the match, MMWA-SICW Executive Director Tony Casta demanded that Ruddick’s manager, Travis Cook, sit in a “special chair” at ringside.  The “special” part was binding Cook to the steel with duct tape — there was no way Travis would interfere in this one.

With a one hour time limit, this contest had the potential to be an instant classic between the determined “Wrestling Machine” Vaughn and the giant Ruddick.

However, Cook passed Ruddick a chain when Donovan was outside the ring.  “Future” nailed Vaughn with a chain-wrapped fist and propelled David across the ring with a colossal crucifix powerbomb.

It was obvious that Vaughn would not be awake for the three-count.

The crowd was shocked as the smug Travis Cook got on the mic and gloated.  His boys, Ruddick and “Thee” Brandon Espinosa (known as The Elitism), are now officially the two most dominant competitors in the Heavyweight and Junior Heavyweight divisions respectively.

We Hate to Say It, But “We’re Sorry, Travis Cook!”

Controversy abounded October 9th at South Broadway in the first match.  Johnny Courageous was advertised and announced as defending his Jr. Heavyweight title against Brandon Espinosa.

However, halfway through the encounter, announcer Ben Simon got word from Commissioner Keith Smith that the proper sanctioning wasn’t obtained by the SBAC and the Missouri Office of Athletics.  Simon then made the announcement public over the PA while the match was in progress.

Immediately, Espinosa and his manager, Travis Cook, became enraged and started arguing with Executive Producer Tim Miller and Smith (they fought back that it was an honest mistake).

Espinosa pinned Courageous for the match, not the championship.

Ever since this match had been signed last month, it had been authorized as a non-title contest.  This gaffe wasn’t noticed until halfway through the match by Smith.

Espinosa retained his Battle Royal Championship later in the night against nine other men.

Cook screamed, “The brass here in the MMWA is trying to put us down, but they saw tonight what ‘Thee’ Brandon Espinosa did.  He’s the real champion.  Promoters Tony (Casta) and Herb (Simmons) just want to protect their boy (Courageous).”

The popular Johnny Courageous later countered, “I really do hope it was an honest mistake; I don’t need to be ‘protected’ ever.  Unlike Cook’s guys, I can live with losing, just as long as my opponent defeats me fair and square.”

We at MMWA-SICW admit it: Travis Cook and “The Elitism” were screwed by mistake.  But they’re big boys and they will rebound just fine… they always do.
