For the last several weeks, frustration has been building in the camp of Creative Control, following the devastating loss in the rematch for Adam Flash, and his quest to regain the MCW Heavyweight Championship from Joey Matthews at MCW KICKOFF CHAOS this past September. With no titles in their camp, Kimberley McDevitt & Tom Brandi have begun to question just how much power they really have. According to Kimberley McDevitt, it is inexcuseable to not have any championships in their stable.
"Adam's failure to regain the title, was just a minor setback, and we will deal with Flash's failure later," said Kimberley McDevitt. "We control this company, and we control that championship. Matthews' time is over! And at MONSTER MASH, that belt will be back with Creative Control, and back with the 5-time champion, The Bruiser. We picked The Bruiser to face Matthews for one simple reason.....Joey has never pinned The Bruiser. And on November 4th in Dundalk, don't look for Matthews to change that stat. At the end of the night, the real ring announcer, Joel Oresky, will announce the winner, and now 6-time MCW Heavyweight Champion, THE BRUISER!!!!"
Bruiser & Joey Matthews do have a history. Back in September 2002, then-champion Bruiser lost to Matthews via DQ. A No-DQ, Falls-Count-Anywhere rematch was ordered, and took place that December at Michael's Eighth Avenue. In a wild brawl that saw action all over the building, Bruiser defeated Matthews, as Matthews passed out while caught in the Bruise-mission. Will we see a repeat occurrence at MONSTER MASH? Bruiser thinks so.
"Joey can't beat me! He never has, and he never will!" says Bruiser. "I will do what Adam Flash couldn't do, and that is defeat Joey Matthews, again. Regain my title. And once again, take my place as the greatest MCW Heavyweight Champion of all time. 6-time champion after November 4th. No one is even close to matching that."
But what about Adam Flash? Instead of allowing the man who held the MCW Heavyweight Championship for one year, face the champion, Tom Brandi announced that Flash will have to prove himself again. "Flash will have to prove that he deserves to represent Creative Control as its' champion. Prove to us that when happened to him at SHAMROCK CUP VII & KICKOFF CHAOS was a fluke. Ms. McDevitt & I are exercising our "creative control" to make Adam Flash face Joey Matthews' best friend, Christian York, in a #1 contender's match. Flash needs to prove to us that he can get the job done. And once he defeats York, he will get another shot at the title. That is, if Bruiser doesn't take the title first."
