‘The Vagrant’ Nate Dooley defeated
Slick Rick Sanders
These two men laid it all on the line
at RE-AWAKENING. Whoever lost would be gone from EPW for good.
Always the ones to put on a bit of a show, the entrances from these
two men were wildly over the top and spectacular. Slick Rick’s, MI-2
performance would have done Tom Cruise proud and he came out looking
absolutely jacked.
But the Vagrant was not to be outdone
as we saw the debut of ‘The Natrix’.
But once the showmanship was set aside it was down to business for
both men. Vagrant controlled this match early with Sanders showing
the inexperience that goes hand in hand with having never wrestled a
match. But the odds were soon evened as Devlin Reeves made his way
down to ringside.
He acted a huge distraction to the
Vagrant and everytime Slick Rick was in trouble, Reeves was there to
lend a hand. But as the match progressed, Sanders started to impress
with both his wrestling and his will to survive. But he wasn’t
alone. The heart the Vagrant showed to survive against two men was
off the page. The ref was taken out by accident by both men. Rick
thought he had the match won after a he hit the Vagrant with a
kryptonite krunch. But with a half conscious referee the Vagrant was
able to kick out. Devlin’s next attempt to interfere backfired as he
and Slick Rick both had powder thrown into their faces. With Devlin
blinded, he nailed Slick with the Devlin Descent. Not long after
Rick was put away with a kryptonite krunch from the Vagrant. After
the battle the two men had just been through, Rick accepted his
defeat and shook the Vagrant’s hand.
This enraged Devlin who confronted
Rick. Sanders was clearly in no mood to be abused and he took Reeves
out with the biggest R(ic)KO of all time. The crowd then
respectfully cheered Slick Rick Sanders from the ring.
