Rugged Ralph retired in August of 1998, but made his return to the MWF in 1999 as a member of the Hard Corp, turned on the Hard Corps, and defeated Mountain of Love for the MWF World title in July.

At the close of 1998, Rugged Ralph was happily retired his last match having been at MWF August Armageddon 1998 against his former New World Alliance partner Mountain of Love.  But the Rugged One came back with a vengeance in 1999 forming the Hard Corps with Mountain and Dr. Destruction in March.  The Hard Corps wreaked havoc on the MWF keeping the belt securely around the waist of Mountain of Love....UNTIL.....Rugged Ralph turned on the very group he helped found and became the man to defeat Mountain of Love for the MWF World title.  Of the events to transpire in 1999, one would have to agree that Rugged Ralph's presence profoundly influenced many key events that happened in 1999.

Once Beach Blanket Bobby got himself away from Big Kahuna and Amazing Grace, Triple B won the MWF World TV title from Meankind in June, giving his legions of Beach Combers yet another reason to cheer him on to victory.

Beach Blanket Bobby started the year as one half of the MWF World tag team champions alongside the Big Kahuna and manager Amazing Grace.  The duo lost the tag titles in April and each man blamed the other for the loss.  A feud ensued which continues to this day.  Triple B never lost the support of the fans, and was able to move up the ladder in the MWF and defeat Meankind for the MWF TV title in June.

With a little help from The Reds, Rugged Ralph was successful in dethroning the Mountain of Love in July for the MWF World title belt.  But in doing so, he also solidified his standing as the MWF's Most Hated Wrestler of the Year.

Normally, this would not be an award to take pride in, but Rugged Ralph's hatred of the MWF fans allows him to take GREAT pride in the award, indeed.  Rugged Ralph formed the Hard Corps with Mountain of Love and Dr. Destruction earlier in the year, but ended up turning on them and taking away the Mountain's MWF World title. Rugged Ralph enfuriated the Hard Corps when he did not give the Mountain of Love a rematch for the title.  Instead, he embarked upon an ambitious title reign although that included belittling the MWF World belt itself as well as his challengers including Bobo Bravado and Sergeant Joe Black.  Rugged Ralph uses this hatred well, as he has the ability to totally psyche out an opponent during a match making them prone to mistakes that often meant the difference between victory and defeat.

Great White Hunter Wesley Kraven lends a helping hand to his MWF World tag team champions Gynecologist Gabe and Slick Caddy as he chokes out Lucius Wiggah with his leather bullwhip.

The Great White Hunter Wesley Kraven started off 1999 as an active MWF wrestler, thus his win in this category was surprising to all including HIMSELF!  The Australian hunter began 1999 by becoming the new leader of Dr. Destruction's Majority Of Superiority stable.  Kraven made a mistake, though, when he boasted that if he could not defeat Choppah Harley in a surprise match, that he would retire from wrestling in the MWF.  After having his MOS partner Andre Agony aid him in double-teaming Harley, the Hunter boasted to the camera giving Harley the chance to small package and pin him.  His arrogant boast was enforced, though, forcing him to continue leading the MOS as its manager.  But serving as a manager, the Hunter was extremely effective in aiding his MOS charges in securing some of the federation's top titles.  Those benefiting from the Hunter's services during this time included A.I.R. Champion Andre Agony, MWF World TV Champion Sycho Analyst Sid, and MWF World Tag Team Champions Gynecologist Gabe and Slick Caddy, all of whom held their respective titles simultaneously.  Aside from these champions, Kraven also managed Meankind and the Coalition 2000 tag team of Private Parts & Major Trouble. 

MWF Rookie of the Year

Unanimous

Sergeant Joe Black gives MWF World Champion Rugged Ralph his finisher "Police Brutality" and a run for his money in their August encounter.

Sergeant Joe Black blazed into the MWF in 1999 with 1 goal - to make an impact.  And make an impact he did as no man was able to intimidate him.  After facing some of the federation's top talent, including nearly defeating MWF World Champion Rugged Ralph, the Sarge managed to defeat Andre Agony for the MWF A.I.R. title in September.  Joe Black was the man chosen by MWF President Fred Travalenee to represent him when the office of president was sought after by Dr. Destruction.  Black nearly came close to defeating Dr. Destruction's man Mr. D several times in the match before finally going down in defeat to Mr. D who unmasked and revealed that he was in fact Dr. Destruction.  But with the Sarge's willingness to face the toughest competition around, there is no doubt he will continue to be a force in 2000 and beyond!!  Ladies and gentlemen....MEET JOE BLACK!!!

Bobo Bravado

 Bobo Bravado returned to the MWF and proved that he was tailor-made for the MWF's new ring.  With a killer instinct unsurpassed, Bravado became the most feared big man in the MWF and defeated Carnage & Double-7 for 2 U.S. title reigns.

Rugged Ralph

 Having nearly won this award every year, Ralph finally breaks thru after having possibly the finest year of his wrestling career.  Ralph showed that he works exceptionally well with others in every match he wrestles, added several new manuevers to his repertoire, and was the master of the psyche-out interview.

Carnage

 Carnage made his MWF debut in 1998, and continues to make incredible strides.  Carnage became the master of high-risk aerial manuevers in 1999 as he moonsaulted, hurracaranna-ed, somersault plancha-ed, and senton-ed his way into the hearts of MWF fans everywhere.

Sycho Analyst Sid

 Wrestlers lived in fear of 1999's "Summer of Sid" hoping that the master of the chokeslam would not come calling on them.  Sid decimated Justin Sane in August for the MWF TV title and no one in the MWF could deny the man his due.

Sycho Analyst Sid (being restrained by MOS partners Gynecologist Gabe and Great White Hunter)had perhaps his best year yet as the MWF was treated to the "Summer of Sid" in 1999.  Sid laid claim to the MWF World TV title defeating Justin Sane for that belt in August, a belt he still holds as the year comes to a close.

The man called Sid stepped up his game in 1999.  No longer content to play second fiddle to other MWF superstars, Sid was unleashed and went on a wrecking spree with the aid of his devastating chokeslam during the 1999 "Summer of Sid".  With the aid of the MOS, Sid defeated (some might call it 'annhiliated') the Asylum's Justin Sane for the MWF World TV title and maintained a stranglehold on the belt keeping it away from contender after contender for the remainder of 1999.

MWF Tag Team of the Year

The Orient Express (from left-to-right and top to bottom) Mr. Hiamoto, Professor Hishitzu, Terry Aki, Takashi Budabay, & Osaka Tamata - had a banner year winning the MWF World Tag Team Titles in April from Beach Crew, after having an impressive run as tag champs before being beaten by C.I.A. & DeathMask, finished out the year regaining the straps from Lucius Wiggah & Blanta.

When the original Orient Express - Mr. Hiamoto & Masa Sushi - recognized thruout the MWF lockerroom as one of the finest tag combos in the MWF, were unable to take the MWF's tag team titles in 1998, Mr. Hiamoto enlisted the aid of his other Japanese countrymen in an all-out assault on the titles in 1999.  Terry Aki and Takashi Budabay managed to finally defeat Beach Crew in April to win the MWF tag belts.  The crafty Orients then embarked on a tag title defense campaign that allowed ANY Orient Express combination to defend the titles.  Add this factor to their unpredictable "hit-them-from-all-directions" wrestling style, as well as some of the most devastating tag team double-team finishers in the history of the MWF, and you have the recipe for dominance.  The Orients reigned over the tag team ranks until finally being beaten by the Flock's C.I.A. and DeathMask in July.   They stayed in contention, however, and when the titles made their way into the hands of the Crib - Lucius Wiggah & Blanta, the Orients once again struck and regained the belts to become 2-time titleholders at MWF Wrestlemania 1999 in October.

Mountain of Love (being interviewed by MWF President Fred Travalenee) answers the 6-man tag match challenge from Rugged Ralph and puts his MWF World title on the line after Ralph's split from the Hard Corps in July.  Rugged Ralph defeated the Mountain for the belt thru the use of underhanded chicanery and catapulted this rivalry to MWF Feud of the Year.

The happy Hard Corps trio of Rugged Ralph, Mountain of Love, and Dr. Destruction came on strong at the start of 1999, but by June, the alliance had all but disintegrated.  Having been defeated by the Flock in a 6-man match, the Hard Corps were down and out - Dr. Destruction succumbing to an injury, and Rugged Ralph and Mountain of Love arguing over which of them had cost their team the match.  Finally, Rugged Ralph got the better of the Mountain brutally sand-bagging him with his "eradicator" finisher and leaving him laying.  The Mountain sought revenge in July and both men agreed to a "mystery partner" 6-man match where neither would know the identity of their partners or opponents.  the Mountain of Love, seething with anger at Ralph's betrayal, even put his MWF World title on the line.  Well, the match went down and it was blatantly apparent that Rugged Ralph DID somehow have knowledge of just who his partners would be - the Reds - and managed to convince them to aid him in winning the title.  After powerslamming Mountain of Love, Little Red held down the Mountain's leg from outside the ring during a Rugged Ralph pinfall attempt allowing Rugged Ralph to win the belt!!!  Not only did Rugged Ralph get the upper hand, he also never gave Mountain a return title shot.  The 2 feuded in tag matches thruout the summer of 1999, until finally, the Mountain of Love won a tag match where the man scoring the pinfall would go on to face Rugged Ralph at MWF Wrestlemania.  Mountain won the match and the rematch at 'Mania was signed in a falls-count-anywhere match.  This time the Mountain emerged victorious with his Death Valley Driver and retook the MWF World belt.  The two remain adversaries to this day, with no let up in sight.

With Mountain of Love recovering from having Dr. Destruction break a wooden crutch across his back, Carnage runs across the ring and executes a somersault plancha out of the ring onto Destruction (MWF 1999 Move of the Year) during the 3-Way Dance.

Since the Hard Corps had cost Carnage the MWF World title at Spring Fling, Carnage demanded a MWF World title match against Mountain of Love at Middletown Massacre and it was signed as a First Blood match.  Dr. Destruction also inserted himself into the match making it a 3-way First Blood elimination match - once a competitor was busted open and bloodied, that person would be eliminated from the match.  All 3 superstars went at it tooth and nail initially, but when Carnage began to decisively take control of the match using his aerial manuevers to devastate both Hard Corps members, Destruction and Mountain then coordinated their efforts to eliminate Carnage.  After several minutes of double-teaming Carnage, Dr. Destruction held Carnage in place for Mountain to swing a steel chair at his head, but Carnage ducked and it was Destruction who was struck with the steel chair, busted open and eliminated from the match.  Destruction proved reluctant to leave once eliminated, however, as he remained to doctor-bomb Carnage thru a table from the second rope in an effort to help Mountain retain the belt.  Carnage's Flock partner Fiend, however, ALSO interfered in the match blasting Destruction with a chair, knocking out the referee and kicking a steel chair into the Mountain's skull forcing him to bleed.  Seeing the Mountain bleeding, Fiend left the ring to revive the referee.  Dr. Destruction recovered, then re-entered the match lacerating Carnage with a screw-driver finally causing him to bleed.  Destruction also washed any trace of blood away from the Mountain's forehead and when the referee revived, she saw Carnage bloodied and awarded the match to the Mountain of Love.

MWF Wrestler of the Year

Carnage

Due to the fact that Carnage was only briefly MWF U.S. Champion - less than 1 month! - it is a testament to Carnage that titles mean little in giving credit where credit is due.  Carnage wrestled his heart out in 1999 executing high-risk manuevers heretofore unseen in the MWF and continues to improve in only his second year of MWF competition!   

Mountain of Love

The Mountain of Love kicked off the year rebounding from his U.S. title loss to Fiend to winning the MWF World belt from Dr. Destruction all in 1 day!   Mountain embarked on a rigorous title defense schedule, and even though suffered a title setback at the hands of Rugged Ralph, regained that belt at MWF Wrestlemania to become the 2-time, 2-time MWF World Champion!

Rugged Ralph

 Retired in mid-1998, Rugged Ralph returned and changed MWF history in 1999!  Rugged Ralph took the Mountain of Love's MWF World title and had an impressive reign as MWF champ before finally losing the belt back to the Mountain at MWF Wrestlemania 1999.
