Greatest Match: 7/17/99 vs. Brett Krueger. Having
been entrenched for weeks in a feud with the Hard Corps along with Fiend
and the rest of the Flock, Carnage signed to wrestle the reigning U.S. Champion
Brett Krueger on Saturday Slugfest 5 in a focused attempt to win his first
singles title. Carnage upset the wily veteran Krueger as Krueger attempted
his finishing manuever, the Krueger double-underhook face bomb, Carnage reversed
it into a backslide and locked Krueger's shoulders to the mat for the 1-2-3.
Favorite Match: MWF Independence Day - July 31, 1999 vs. Mountain
of Love. This match was for Carnage's MWF United States title and not
only did he have to defeat the former MWF World Champion Mountain of Love,
he also had to endure the shenanigans of the special referee for the match
- the man that he had defeated for the MWF U.S. title - Brett Krueger.
Carnage overcame the odds in the match though, as well as perfecting
many of the high-risk aerial manuevers he uses today such as the hurricarana,
and defeated Mountain of Love with his top-rope superfly splash.
Toughest Opponent: Dr. Destruction. Carnage was a rookie at
the time when Dr. Destruction was the MWF World Champion - a man that had
been an enemy of Carnage's Flock partner Fiend - and therefore Carnage
- for many years. Carnage was undefeated in the MWF when
he signed an open contract to wrestle the MWF World Champion Destruction
at MWF In Your Face 3 : Revolution Calling in late August 1998.
Suffered his first defeat at Dr. Destruction's hands after being tossed
off the top rope thru 2 stacked tables at ringside, then doctor-bombed and
pinned. In their subsequent confrontations, they continually raise the bar
when it comes to in-ring violence as Carnage is generally forced to use his
aerial skills to their most brutal intensity to counter the frustrating toughness
and durability of Dr. Destruction. Yet when this happens, Carnage always
rises to the occasion and is at his best when the 2 meet. When Carnage
and Destruction collide, it is literally the true test of the irresistible
force meeting the immovable object.
Most Hated Opponent: Fiend. Carnage was the cornerstone
member of Fiend's Flock in summer of 1998 when Fiend assembled his small
faction as Carnage was a rookie at that time. In the beginning, Carnage
and Fiend were a devastating force in the MWF as both men waged war against
the MWF world title reigns of Dr. Destruction and Mountain of Love respectively.
But as Carnage was always there for Fiend in their battles whenever
Fiend needed him, it seemed that Fiend's feelings were not mutual. At
MWF Summer Showdown 1999, as Carnage was defending his MWF U.S. title against
Bobo Bravado, Carnage was the victim of the Hard Corps - Mountain of Love
and Dr. Destruction who interfered during the match executing sit-down tombstone
piledrivers to Carnage severely injuring his neck. As a result not only was
Carnage pinned to lose his MWF U.S. title, but he also suffered the indignity
of being stretchered out of the ring by MWF medical staff. But instead
of seeking revenge against Mountain and Destruction, immediately, Carnage
instead blindsided Fiend at the next MWF event MWF In Your Face 7 : Wrestlers
in the Mist. After teaming with Fiend and easily defeating an MWF
preliminary tag-team, Carnage turned on and smashed Fiend with a steel chair
and with Fiend helpless, he poured lighter fluid all over him and nearly
succeeded in lighting him on fire for revenge. It was Carnage's contention
that Fiend should have been there to back him up at the previous event and
that he had in fact betrayed him. Carnage was unable to set Fiend on
fire thanks to the timely assistance of Mountain of Love, but the Flock was
now history and now the two men who were once close allies were now the
most hated of adversaries - and the hatred exists to this very day.
| Favorite Manuever: "Carnage Crash Splash". This is the classic top-rope superfly splash that Carnage has perfected. Carnage dives from the top turnbuckle onto a prone opponent burying him into the canvas. A 3-count and victory almost always follows. |  |
Scouting Report
==Strengths==
: Top Rope Comfort. Seems as if he could sleep on the
top turnbuckle. Scales the ropes as easily as many wrestlers can walk. This
ease of use translates into a superb aerial assault.
: Natural Athlete. Nimble and flexible, Carnage has the perfect wrestler's
physique, not overly muscular yet possesses a deceptive wiry strength and
exceptional endurance.
: Refreshing Rookie Attitude. Is not bothered with the thought of
losing a match as this can offer a valuable learning experience. Would rather
lose and learn than gain a victory too easily.
: Confident. Has wrestled well against the best in the MWF and can
compete against virtually any style. Can often execute entire series
of moves with lightning speed before an opponent can even think about mounting
a defense.
: Black Widow. The lovely yet deadly Black Widow serves well as Carnage's
valet. Has proven that she too is unafraid to stand up to her charge's opponents
and has become an effective distraction tool.
==Weaknesses==
: Over-the-top Sadism. In 1999, MWF fans learned what
lengths Carnage was willing to go to to get revenge on those that he feels
betray him. Feeling his Flock partner Fiend had abandoned him when
Fiend was nowhere to be found when Carnage was violently attacked and stretchered
out of MWF arena following the loss of his MWF U.S.title, Carnage sought
to gain revenge by crippling Fiend. Carnage succeeded in injuring the
leg of Fiend and was nearly successful in setting Fiend on fire proving how
despicable he could truly be.
: Attempts finisher too early. When trying to put away an opponent,
Carnage often attempts his superfly splash prematurely before an opponent
has been completely weakened. If this happens, an opponent can either
roll out of the way or put up his knees to block the move - either way, the
results of this are always painful.
Career Bio
1998
Carnage began his MWF career as an associate of Brother Fiend at MWF Lunatic Fringe 1998. Seeing potential in the young wrestler, Brother Fiend oversaw Carnage's training at the MWF Funkin' Power Dojo Plant. Became an active wrestler at MWF In Your Face II : August Armageddon defeating Private Parts by pinfall with his patented Carnage Crash splash in his debut match as a founding member of Fiend's Flock.
At Summer Showdown 1998, once again was victorious by pinning Justin Sane. Accompanied Fiend to ringside following a match involving C.I.A. and Deathmask who had just been defeated by the Coalition in a tag team match. Fiend offered both C.I.A. and Deathmask Flock membership - a membership both competitors declined. Not taking kindly to this refusal, Fiend instructed Carnage to administer a horrendous beating to the two superstars. Fiend DDT'ed both men onto a steel chair, and Carnage executed his crash splash leaving the two laying. Apparently, by the time of the next event, MWF In Your Face 3 : Revolution Calling, this bizarre strategy seemed to have worked to bring over C.I.A. into the Flock's fold as Carnage accompanied C.I.A. to ringside for his AIR title match against the champion, Mr. Hiamoto. Indeed, Carnage took advantage of C.I.A.'s distracting the referee to smash the Japanese superstar with a metal tray knocking him unconscious allowing C.I.A. to get the pinfall and the AIR title belt. Later in the event, Carnage and C.I.A. accompanied Fiend to the ring to finish the job they had started on Deathmask. Fiend pummelled Deathmask from pillar to post finally defeating him. After the squash victory, Carnage carried Deathmask back to the lockerroom, sealing Deathmask's Flock membership. Finally, it was revealed that it was in fact Carnage who had accepted Dr. Destruction's open challenge for the MWF World title and the two locked up. Carnage wrestled well against the MWF champion and with the aid of the Flock, nearly managed to cost him the title. The champion persevered, however, and literally "turned the tables" on the Flock as Destruction pushed Carnage off the top rope thru 2 tables that Fiend had stacked on top of each other intending Dr. Destruction to be it's recipient. Nearly unconscious after sustaining the attack, Carnage was ultimately defeated following a doctor-bomb from Destruction.
Stinging from his first loss, Carnage was given the opportunity to once again challenge for the title at MWF Superclash 1998 providing he could defeat the Franchise Brett Krueger, as the winner of that match would go on to face Destruction for the belt. Despite having the entire Flock present surrounding the ring against Krueger, was pinned after Krueger managed to superkick Fiend, double-Krueger-kill C.I.A. and Deathmask, then apply the Krueger-kill onto Carnage for the victory. This indignity was not lost on the enigmatic Fiend, however, as Fiend and the entire Flock attacked Krueger prior to that MWF title match against Destruction leaving Krueger little more than the proverbial sack of potatoes and easy pickings for Destruction. However, having once again cost Krueger a shot at the MWF title, Krueger issued a challenge to Fiend for a 1-on-1 match at MWF In Your Face IV : Heart of Darkness. Answering the challenge, however, was C.I.A. and Carnage, who confronted Krueger. Krueger was instructed to pick a partner as Fiend would not face Krueger 1-on-1. Krueger chose the Mountain of Love and together, they took on Fiend and Carnage. After a competitive match between all 4 men, Krueger managed to secure the win by pinning Fiend.
At MWF Wrestlemania 1998, received a U.S. title match against the reigning champion Double-7 Chris Simmons. Gave his fellow MWF newcomer Simmons a run for his money actually at one point kicking out of Simmon's finisher, the Double-7 deathdrop. The resourceful Double-7, however, managed to reverse a sunset-flip attempt by Carnage, and hook his legs to retain the title.
Carnage sustained a foot injury prior to his scheduled rematch against Brett Krueger at MWF Season's Beatings, and did not wrestle, but along with the rest of the Flock, managed to once again dish out a tremendous beating to Krueger. Along with his valet Black Widow, also accompanied Fiend to ringside for Fiend's shot at the MWF World Champion Dr. Destruction. Able to walk with the aid of a cane, Carnage used the cane to strike and choke the champion during various points of the contest enabling Fiend to recuperate from the violent extreme death match and take back an advantage. Destruction managed to defeat Fiend however, resulting from a violent leap from the top rope onto the ladder that had been placed atop the prone Fiend. Following the match, Carnage jumped in the ring in an effort to aid the Flock leader, but received a doctor-bomb for his trouble to close out the 1998 MWF season. With 2 title match experiences already under his belt, however, Carnage could be ready to mount some even more serious challenges to any belt-holder in 1999.
1999
Carnage began the 1999 MWF season aiding Fiend and the Flock against new-found rivals, the Hard Corps consisting of Rugged Ralph, Dr. Destruction, and Mountain Of Love - a new version of the New World Alliance formed by Rugged Ralph at the conclusion of the first 1999 MWF Saturday Slugfest event. With the Mountain defeating Dr. Destruction for the MWF title, Destruction and Ralph punked out the Mountain's ally at the time, Brett Krueger who had come to the ring to congratulate the new champion only to see Mountain, Ralph, and Destruction unite as a new force in the MWF. Fiend and Carnage came down appearing in defense of Krueger, but when they had chased the Hard Corps out of the ring, they too attacked Krueger and the battle had been set : group vs. group, Flock vs. Hard Corps. With the Mountain of Love the reigning MWF World Champion, both Carnage and Fiend embarked upon a campaign to unseat Mountain as MWF World Champion.
At MWF Spring Fling 1999, Carnage, along with enemy Brett Krueger, was involved in the MAIN EVENT 3-way dance for the Mountain Of Love 's MWF World title. Both of the MOL's Hard Corps partners Ralph and Destruction interfered in the match-up costing both Carnage and Krueger a chance to win the belt as the Mountain managed to hit Carnage with his Death Valley Driver to win the match.
In an effort to get another MWF World title shot, faced one of Mountain's Hard Corps partners Dr. Destruction at MWF BattleBowl 1999. With his own valet Black Widow neutralizing the presence of Mountain, Carnage defeated Dr. Destruction after leaping from the top of a ladder and superfly splashing him for the victory. Seething from the loss, Destruction challenged Carnage and any of his Flock partners to face him and Rugged Ralph at Saturday Slugfest 3. Carnage selected DeathMask as his partner and defeated Destruction and Rugged Ralph when he was able to throw salt into the eyes of Dr. D blinding him and causing him to doctor-bomb his own partner Rugged Ralph allowing Carnage and DeathMask to get the victory. Also at the same event, Carnage teamed with Fiend as he gained revenge for Krueger taking his U.S. title in a tag team match against Krueger and Double-7 Chris Simmons. Fiend took advantage of Simmons turning on Krueger to Backlash Krueger and pin him to take the match.
With these 2 victories over the Hard Corps, Carnage was signed to wrestle Mountain of Love 1-on-1 in a First Blood Match at MWF Middletown Massacre 1999 for the MWF World belt, but Dr. Destruction also entered the match citing his right as former champion to make the match a 3-way elimination First Blood match - once a competitor was bloodied, they were eliminated from the match. Despite being viciously double-teamed by both men, Carnage managed to cause Dr. Destruction to be eliminated from the match when he ducked a MOL chairshot which instead struck Destruction bloodying and elmininating him from the match. Destruction refused to leave ringside however, as he and the MOL continued their attack on Carnage in an effort to bloody him. All Hell then broke loose as Carnage's Flock partner Fiend appeared taking out Dr. Destruction and turning the tables on the Hard Corps. Together with Fiend, managed to cause Mountain of Love to bleed. The referee, however, had been knocked unconscious, thus Fiend left to revive her. This allowed Dr. Destruction to return and blindside Carnage with a screwdriver causing him to bleed, and Destruction used water and a towel to wash away any trace of blood from the Mountain's forehead. With the referee reviving, she awarded the match to the Mountain of Love as she only saw Carnage bloodied from Dr. Destruction's screwdriver attack allowing the Hard Corps to win this chapter of their war as Mountain of Love retained his MWF World title.
Carnage and Fiend gained a measure of revenge against the Hard Corps when they faced off against Mountain & Destruction in the first MWF Double Tables match - to win the match, both opponents must be put thru tables. Carnage fell victim to the Hard Corps first of all as Dr. Destruction caught him in a side-slam position allowing Mountain of Love to legdrop him from the top rope thru the table. The Flock took advantage of the Hard Corps' bloodlust, however, as they attempted to put Carnage thru a second table to possibly end his career, Fiend caught Destruction and with Dr. D on his shoulders, drove him face-first thru the table instead. With the Hard Corps scrambling, Fiend managed to powerbomb Mountain thru another table to win the match.
Having defeated 2 out of their 3 opponents, Carnage and Fiend sought to get Rugged Ralph back in the ring to finish them for good, thus both teamed with their partner DeathMask against Ralph, Destruction and Mountain of Love at the MWF Water Under the Bridge event in England. This time, it was the Flock's turn to pull a swerve as the man who had been wearing the attire and mask of DeathMask unmasked during the match and revealed to be the returning Bobo Bravado. With the added surprise factor, the Flock defeated the Hard Corps in the 6-man match when Bravado jack-hammered and pinned Rugged Ralph. The Flock left in triumph as the Hard Corps self-destructed; Dr. Destruction was injured during the match and was rushed by ambulance to medical facilities, and Rugged Ralph and Mountain of Love argued over Ralph being the man who was defeated to lose the match. Rugged Ralph then turned on Mountain attacking him from behind and left him laying.
With the Hard Corps dissolved, Carnage refocused his energies and defeated Flock enemy Brett Krueger for the MWF U.S. title at Saturday Slugfest 5 to win his very first MWF belt. Outfoxed the cagey Krueger as he countered Brett's double-underhook face-driver finishing move into a backslide to get the win and the belt. Krueger let it be known that he wanted the belt back, however, as he at first offered his hand to congratulate the new champion, but ended up super-kicking him and leaving the new champion all but unconscious.
Carnage would next hear from Krueger at the next event, MWF Independence Day 1999. Carnage was slated to defend his newly-won MWF U.S. title against his old enemy, Mountain of Love (who had recently lost his MWF World title to Rugged Ralph) but the man he defeated for the U.S. title, Brett Krueger would serve as special referee. With Krueger remaining mostly unbiased during the match, Carnage managed to defeat the Mountain with his superfly splash with Krueger fast-counting Mountain of Love ensuring that the U.S. title stayed around Carnage's waist to be on the line for their next encounter.
The MWF U.S. Champion Carnage received a MWF World title match against Rugged Ralph at the MWF's first Portugal event, In Your Face 6- Los Punlados. Wrestled well against the champion but was defeated when the former MWF World Champion Mountain of Love came down during the match and hit Carnage with a big boot from the ring apron enabling Ralph to hit his "eradicator" standing bulldog to get the win.
Carnage resumed his MWF U.S. title defense schedule at MWF Summer Showdown 1999 and faced the man he had teamed with against the Hard Corps at MWF Water Under the Bridge, Bobo Bravado. Maintaining the majority of the upper hand in the contest, Carnage was suddenly attacked by old foe Mountain of Love as well as a masked man wearing a Dr. Destruction t-shirt both of whom executed Dr. Destruction-style sitdown tombstone piledrivers on Carnage injuring his neck. The two men left the ring allowing Bobo Bravado to cover the injured Carnage for the easy victory. Having lost his MWF U.S. title, Carnage was also stretchered out of MWF arena to ensure no permanent damage had been done to his neck. During this altercation, Carnage's Flock partner Fiend was strangely absent yet wrestled later on in the event against MWF World Champion Rugged Ralph in a world title match.
At MWF In Your Face 7 - Wrestlers in the Mist, Carnage teamed with Fiend against the preliminary tag team of Purple Reign. The duo quickly dispatched them when Carnage superfly splashed one of the Purples for the victory. After the match, however, Carnage smashed Fiend with a steel chair and in one of the most heinous displays in MWF history, poured lighter fluid all over Fiend and began to light a match with the clear intention of setting Fiend on fire. While about to toss the match onto Fiend, Carnage began to taunt Fiend and said that he was not there to back him up when he was stretchered out of MWF arena, so this would be his revenge. Before Carnage could throw the match, however, the Flock's old foe Mountain of Love ran down to the ring with a chair and chased Carnage away. In the main event of the card, Carnage was also set to take on the man he defeated for the U.S. title, Brett Krueger. Midway thru the contest, the man Carnage had tried to set on fire earlier in the card, Fiend, made an appearance at ringside. The instant Carnage defeated Brett Krueger, Fiend entered the ring with a steel chair and hit Carnage with his finishing move "back-lash" onto the steel chair for a receipt for trying to set him on fire.
In the main event of MWF Superclash 99 : You Want Blood, You Got It, the match was signed Fiend, Mountain of Love, and Sergeant Joe Black vs. Double-7 Chris Simmons, Carnage and MWF World champ Rugged Ralph. This was a 6-man team elimination match, once a member of 1 team was busted open and bloodied, then that man was eliminated from the match until 1 side remained. Carnage was eliminated after he was pushed off the top rope to the outside of the ring landing on a steel chair by Mountain of Love.
At MWF In Your Face 5 : Ride the Lightning, in the MWF lockerroom, Fiend was preparing for the scheduled main event 5-way elimination match to determine the #1 contender to MWF World Champion Rugged Ralph, when he was brutally attacked by Carnage who repeatedly smashed Fiend's left leg with a sledgehammer until the trio of Bravado, Mountain of Love, & Mr. D made the save chasing Carnage away. As a result of this assault, the main event was changed from a 5-way elimination match to a tag team match pitting Mountain of Love and Bobo Bravado against Carnage and Double-7 Chris Simmons. With Bravado and Mountain's Hard Corps partner Mr. D present at ringside interfering during the match, Mountain of Love managed to catch Carnage in a death valley driver and pin him to win the match.
Following that victory over Carnage, Mountain of Love was able to defeat Rugged Ralph to regain the MWF World title and took on Carnage and Double-7 Chris Simmons in a 3-way dance for the MWF belt at MWF Season's Beatings 1999. The end came when Double-7 went for his flying headbutt off the top rope, Mountain of Love blocked it with a steel chair incapacitating Simmons, allowing Mountain to apply the death valley driver onto Carnage to win the match and defend the title.
At MWF Survivor Series, MWF President Dr. Destruction rechristened the MWF A.I.R. title that he had won from Sergeant Joe Black at MWF Wrestlemania the MWF Hardcore title. He gave the first MWF Hardcore title shot to Carnage. Carnage was disadvantaged right from the start as Destruction's Hard Corps teammates Fiend, Mountain of Love, and Bobo Bravado attacked Carnage as per President Destruction's orders and had to constantly thwart their interference thruout the match. But as one might suspect would happen when Carnage meets Destruction, during the course of the match, Carnage placed Destruction on a table outside the ring, set up a ladder inside the ring, and leaped from the top of the ladder splashing Destruction thru the table leaving both men devastated. Both men managed to make their way back into the ring where Destruction eventually came out on top following a doctor-bomb after Carnage missed his superfly splash to retain the MWF Hardcore title and defeat Carnage to close out 1999.
2000
At the first card of 2000 - MWF Saturday Slugfest 7 - participated in the WAR GAMES main event of the card. The match was a 6-man tag team match where partners were drawn at random to compete against opponents drawn at random. By the luck of the draw, Carnage was matched with Double-7 Chris Simmons, and nemesis Fiend against the team of Dr. Destruction, MWF World Champion Mountain of Love and Sergeant Joe Black . The real story of the match, however, turned out to be the special referee, Rugged Ralph. Rugged Ralph called the match fairly until Carnage got in his face several times during the match. The end of the match came when Carnage became so enfuriated by Rugged Ralph's slow counts of his pinfall attempts, this allowed a member of the opposite team - Sergeant Joe Black - to hit his finisher the TKO on Carnage and pin him to win the match. Following the match, with Carnage recovering from the manuever, Carnage's manager BLACK WIDOW confronted special referee Rugged Ralph and slapped him in the face. Rugged Ralph then locked her in his ERADICATOR standing bulldog finisher driving the Widow's head into the canvas totally laying out the Widow. Black Widow was severely injured from the attack and needed to be stretchered out of MWF arena. Despite being on the opposite team, Sgt. Joe Black was disgusted with his old foe Rugged Ralph's conduct and assisted Carnage in administering aid to the Black Widow as the event ended.
But Carnage would have to wait to get his hands on Rugged Ralph as Ralph perhaps out of fear of Carnage retribution, took the next MWF event off. In the main event of MWF IYF10, Dr. Destruction & partner Mountain of Love faced Carnage and a partner of his choosing. With Carnage's former Flock partner Fiend defecting over to the Hard Corp's side, Carnage had been going it alone against the Hard Corps in his battles so far in the MWF - until this match as he enlists a true MWF icon - BONECRUSHER BOB - as his partner. The Bonecrusher also had a bone to pick with Destruction and Mountain as 1 year ago he was robbed of becoming MWF World Champion when Destruction and Mountain joined forces to overcome his challenge. With the Mountain's MWF World title on the line should he be the man pinned, Carnage ultimately pinned Dr. Destruction with a superfly splash following a Bonecrusher flying elbowdrop. Thus, each man scores a measure of revenge against their enemies as CARNAGE and BONECRUSHER BOB take the victory.
Finally, at MWF After Hours, Carnage faced Rugged Ralph in one of Rugged Ralph's specialties - the Triple Death Match To be declared the winner of the match, you must take 3 falls - 1 by countout, 1 fall by submission, & 1 fall by pinfall. After dropping 2 straight falls to Rugged Ralph: Rugged Ralph pinned Carnage with the eradicator standing bulldog and rendered Carnage unconscious with a sleeperhold to take a submission, Carnage came back and forced Rugged Ralph to submit to the tarantula, caused Rugged Ralph to be counted out, and finally pinned Rugged Ralph with the superfly splash from the top rope. But before Carnage had the opportunity to extract further revenge for the injuring of his wife the Black Widow, following the match, Black Widow turned on Carnage striking him with a steel chair. Fiend then appeared at ringside and back-lashed Carnage setting him up for a superfly splash executed by the BLACK WIDOW! Black Widow then taunted Carnage claiming that he did not have the ability to protect her (stemming from Rugged Ralph injuring her at Wargames) so she obtained the services of Fiend. Fiend now with Carnage's wife and manager, then challenged Carnage to a 1-on-1 match at the next MWF pay-per-view spectacular - MWF Middletown Massacre and left Carnage laying. Following this turn of events, Carnage's daughter Serenity appeared at ringside following the departure of Fiend and Black Widow to console her father to end the event.
At MWF Spring Fling 2000, before his scheduled match against MWF World Champion Mountain of Love, Carnage interfered in Fiend's match against MWF U.S. Champion Sergeant Joe Black following interference from Carnage who blasted Fiend with Fiend's MWF TV title belt. But this would come back to haunt Carnage as in the MAIN EVENT : Dog-Collar Chain Match : MWF World Champion Mountain of Love successfully defended the MWF World title by pinning Carnage with a guillotine leg-drop off the top rope putting Carnage thru a table following interference by Fiend who returned to cost Carnage his own chance at the MWF world title. This time, it was once again Carnage who was left laying by Fiend as he and the Black Widow celebrated over the fallen Carnage.
Carnage was an extremely busy man at the next MWF event, MWF In Your Face 11 : Mission Impossible - May 20th, 2000. MWF Hardcore Champion Dr. Destruction made his way out to the ring and called down opponents to face him in a MWF Hardcore title match. His challenge was answered by Overkill & Carnage to make the match a 3-way dance. Carnage succeeded in eliminating Overkill with a superfly splash following a Dr. Destruction senton-splash. Now down to Carnage vs. Dr. D, Dr. Destruction got the upper hand and doctor-bombed Carnage, but Dr. Destruction made a mistake and went outside the ring to get a metal ladder to put away Carnage, but Overkill returned to ringside and speared Destruction thru the ladder which was propped up against the ring apron. Carnage followed this up with a superfly splash from the top rope to the ground onto Destruction and pinned him for the 1-2-3 outside the ring to become the N-E-W MWF Hardcore Champion. As Carnage was preparing to leave the arena following his match, he was served with divorce papers prepared by the Black Widow. Carnage destroyed the messenger with a cookie sheet and vowed to kill both Black Widow and Fiend. Thus, in the MWF World Champion Mountain of Love-Fiend match-up, while the referee was inadvertantly distracted by Fiend's valet the Black Widow, Carnage came down to the ring and smashed Fiend with a steel chair. As this was happening, Sergeant Joe Black smashed Mountain of Love with a steel chair and Mountain fell on top of Fiend as the referee turned around and counted the 1-2-3. After the match, as Black Widow was helping Fiend to his feet, Carnage speared BOTH Widow and Fiend thru a table that had been set up during the match. As MWF referees stretchered out the injured Black Widow, Fiend's scheduled MWF World TV title opponent - Professor Hishitzu - made his way to the ring and Professor Hishitzu pinned the near-unconscious MWF World TV Champion Fiend with a springboard splash off the second rope and covered him for the 1-2-3 - thus Carnage left Fiend laying and cost him his MWF TV championship.
At MWF Superclash 2000 - June 3rd, 2000, MWF Hardcore Champion Carnage called out any MWF opponent for a "warm-up" match before his scheduled title match with MWF U.S. Champion Sergeant Joe Black. The Menace accepted the challenge of Carnage. After being severely beaten by Carnage, the Menace rolled out of the way of Carnage's top-rope superfly splash finisher, climbed to the top rope and hit Carnage with his finisher the top rope flying clothesline and pinned Carnage for the 1-2-3 in a huge upset. Later on, the scheduled Sergeant Joe Black -Carnage MWF U.S. title match was interrupted by the surprise return to MWF arena of the MWF World Champion Mountain of Love. Mountain of Love demanded to be part of the match so he could get his hands on Sergeant Joe Black to get revenge for the attack that Black had perpetrated on him earlier on in the card. Thus, in a 3-way dance for the MWF U.S. title, Sergeant Joe Black was able to successfully defend the MWF U.S. title against MWF World Champion Mountain of Love & MWF Hardcore Champion Carnage when he pinned Mountain of Love with 1 foot on his chest after Mountain of Love had been injured back suplexing Carnage from the top rope thru a table.
Though finally signed to wrestle Fiend at MWF Middletown Massacre 2000 - July 8, 2000, in the MWF lockerroom area, MWF Hardcore Champion Carnage violently attacked Fiend severely injuring his leg. Now BOTH Fiend and MWF World Champion Mountain of Love (which will become VERY important for the career of Carnage at the next event) were physically unable to compete in their respective main event matches, thus Carnage would now face the man that injured the Mountain of Love - Ares - in an MWF Hardcore title match. Carnage proved the superior crippler as he superfly splashed Ares thru a table to defend the MWF Hardcore belt.
Before the scheduled MWF Hardcore Title Match main event at MWF Summer Showdown 2000 - July 22, 2000, between MWF Hardcore Champion Carnage and Bobo Bravado, MWF owner Joseph T. Joseph appeared and announced that the MWF World Champion Mountain of Love was in attendance. Mountain of Love announced that due to the attack by Sergeant Joe Black and Ares last card, Mountain of Love would not be able to wrestle for at least 2 months. Mountain of Love voluntarily surrendered the MWF World title and Joseph T. Joseph announced Carrnage and Bobo Bravado were the #1 contenders for the belt, thus their match would indeed be for that title. Carnage pinned Bobo Bravado in the main event with maximum carnage - Carnage set up a steel chair in front of Bobo Bravado's face and top rope springboard dropkicked the chair into his head from the opposite side of the ring to become the N-E-W MWF World Heavyweight Champion!!
Now MWF World Champion, Carnage went on a rampage! Since Carnage was the reigning MWF Hardcore champion when he defeated Bobo Bravado to capture the world title, random tag-teams were drawn to compete against each other - the winning teams advancing to the BattleBowl battle royale to decide the N-E-W MWF Hardcore Champion. But Carnage was incensed that he would therefore have no MWF title match as the top MWF superstars were vying for the MWF Hardcore title, thus Carnage entered HIMSELF into BattleBowl! But before Carnage would see action, he ensured that his enemy Fiend could once again not compete in the event. Carnage assaulted Fiend (with a leg brace) and his valet the Black Widow in the parking lot of MWF arena. Carnage dragged Fiend to the ring and destroyed him with steel chairshots to the head and repeatedly smashed Fiend's injured left leg. Carnage hit Fiend with maximum carnage and attempted to do the same to the Black Widow before he was stopped by MWF officials. In the random tag-team portion of BattkeBowl, Carnage and Beach Blanket Bobby easily defeated their opponent Blanta (whose partner did not even appear out of fear from witnessing the earlier attack on Fiend) and advanced to BattleBowl royal rumble. Thus, in the MWF BattleBowl rumble, Carnage was instrumental in eliminating both the man he defeated for the MWF title, Bobo Bravado and the man he had defeated for the MWF Hardcore title, Dr. Destruction who had made his return from injury at that event. Finally, Carnage eliminated himself as he asai-moonsaulted Bravado, Destruction, and Beach Blanket Bobby as his reign of terror as MWF champion had barely begun!
At MWF In Your Face 12 : Armed & Dangerous - August 19, 2000, Carnage finally had the chance to defend his MWF title for the first time. It would be against Dr. Destruction and Double-7 Chris Simmons in a 3-way dance. Carnage succeeded in pinning Dr. Destruction with a lion-sault moonsault to eliminate him from the match, then pinned Double-7 as well after a double-decker powerbomb.
With Fiend advised not to wrestle by doctors, Carnage continued his wrecking spree and called out a man he had unfinished business with, the Menace (the Menace had upset Carnage in a match at MWF Superclash 2000). To entice the Menace to come out, Carnage offered him $50, 000 and a shot at his MWF World title. In a MWF World title match, Carnage successfully defended the MWF World title when he pinned the Menace with a superfly splash from the top rope. Following the match, Carnage executed maximum carnage on the Menace TWICE! The Menace was stretchered out of MWF arena and that looks to be the last time the Menace ever competes in an MWF ring - thanks to Carnage. Later on in the event, Carnage successfully defended the MWF World title when he pinned MWF TV Champion the Jock with a superfly splash from the top rope. Following the match, FIEND appeared and attacked Carnage with a steel chair and backlash-ed him (back suplex turning into a sidewalk slam) onto the chair and left him laying as a receipt for Carnage's attack on him at MWF BattleBowl 2000.
FINALLY.....at MWF Wrestle-Mania 2000 - September 9, 2000, the long-awaited Carnage-Fiend match went down! In a Dog Collar Match - MWF World Champion Carnage endured a tremendous beating from Fiend but successfully defended the MWF World title by pinning Fiend with a fade away superfly splash thru a table following interference from the BLACK WIDOW who low-blowed Fiend as Fiend was about to powerbomb Carnage thru a table. This swerve enabled Carnage to lie Fiend on a table and fade-away splash him thru the table to defeat him. Finally, Black Widow and Carnage put an end to their mind games with Fiend and reunited.
At MWF Autumn Onslaught 2000, Dr. Destruction returned and called out Carnage with the intention of ending his career as Carnage had ended the career of the Menace and nearly ended Fiend's career earlier in the summer. Dr. Destruction mocked Carnage by allowing him to strike him with his own singapore cane and a steel chair. Dr. Destruction was finally put down by a Carnage rock-bottom onto a ladder and superfly splash, but somehow battled on and nearly had Carnage beaten down following one of his signature flying elbowsmashes. Dr. Destruction then sought to break the back of Carnage by applying a full nelson/camel clutch on him attempting to end his career but the Black Widow entered the ring and threw steaming hot coffee in Dr. Destruction's face. Forgetting about Carnage, Dr. Destruction chased the Black Widow outside the ring, but this allowed Carnage to recover, then blindside Dr. D and hit Fiend's backlash finisher on Dr. Destruction outside the ring. Carnage then bridged a steel ladder between the ring apron and the announcer's table, lied Dr. Destruction on it and superfly splashed him thru the ladder. Seeing as how the impact had hurt the left leg of Dr. Destruction, Carnage used Dr. D's singapore cane and repeatedly smashed his knee. Thus, in addition ot the Menace, now Dr. Destruction as well fell to the crippler Carnage. Carnage and the Black Widow mocked their old enemy as they left Dr. D laying. But Carnage would not have the last laugh this day, as Fiend - still stinging from his loss of both his MWF Wrestlemania match to Carnage and the loss of the Black Widow - reformed THE FLOCK with Justin Sane and Andre Agony. Just as Carnage & the Widow were on the way down to the ring, the Flock struck and kidnapped Carnage's daughter Serenity spiriting her away in a van from MWF arena. Unaware of this affront, Carnage took on the man whose title he had taken - the Mountain of Love - who had returned from his injury earlier in the summer looking for his MWF belt back. But Carnage was equal to the task as he moonsaulted Mountain of Love and pinned him to retain the MWF World title. When he returned to the lockerroom, he and Black Widow were absolutely INFURIATED that Serenity had been abducted by Fiend!!!!!
Thus, at MWF Lunatic Fringe- October 21, 2000, MWF World Champion Carnage interrupted a singles match infuriated that MWF owner Joseph T. Joseph had "allowed" the abduction of Carnage's daughter Serenity at the hands of Fiend's Flock 2000 at the last MWF event. MWF World Champion Carnage was able to successfully defend the MWF World title by pinning Slick Caddy following a superfly splash. Following the match, Carnage beat down Joseph T. Joseph and executed his maximum carnage springboard missile dropkick. Joseph T. Joseph was then stretchered out of MWF arena - yet another victim of the brutality of Carnage. Then, in the tag team main event, Mountain of Love gained a measure of revenge at Carnage as he and his protege Mr. Black defeated Carnage & Bobo Bravado following a MOL mangler piledriver off the top rope on Carnage.
Before the start of MWF Harborview Havoc 2000, Fiend and Flock 2000 (Andre Agony and Justin Sane) were shown holding MWF World Champion Carnage's daughter Serenity prisoner in an animal cage in the basement of MWF arena. Fiend taunted Carnage and told him the only way he would get his daughter back was to accept the challenge of Fiend for the next MWF event in a MWF World title match. Later on in the event, MWF Hardcore Champion Fiend once again became Carnage's #1 contender as he & Brett Krueger defeated MWF World Champion Carnage & Double-7 Chris Simmons when Fiend pinned Carnage with his backlash back suplex-sidewalk slam onto a steel chair.
2001
Carnage began 2001 the reigning MWF World Champion and at the biggest event in MWF history - MWF New Year's Evil at Roger's High School - was set to face Fiend once again for the MWF World title. Carnage injured Fiend early on in the contest and delivered his maximum carnage springboard missile dropkick, but Fiend escaped being defeated....as Carnage was set to deliver his maximum carnage springboard missile dropkick a second time, Dr. Destruction (whom Carnage had injured in October 2000) appeared and gave Carnage a singapore cane shot to the back as Carnage was in mid-leap. After a brief exchange, Fiend pinned Carnage after spearing him thru a table to become the N-E-W MWF World Champion
