This is the second part of what will be a three part series examining all the matches that will take place at Evil Intentions. Of course, Evil Intentions will take place at the Margaret Cockman Pavilion in Wanneroo on April 12th 2003. This event is shaping up to be a great event and should not be missed. In the first Evil Intentions update, we looked at Mixer versus Azazal and Richter versus Jamie Jurah. We will now dissect three of the other matches on the card, including the highly explosive, Chair on a Pole match, featuring Brad West and Mikey.

PSYCHOFETT v ‘The Playboy’ DEVLIN REEVES

This match certainly shapes up to be one of the most entertaining bouts taking place at Evil Intentions. This could be touted as the battle of two of Explosive Coastal Wrestling’s most bizarre characters.

Psychofett is a cult hero in ECW. His antics have been some of the highlights of many a show. Some of his greatest hits include his ‘STOP/LOOK’ routine, his extremely strange dancing/spinarooni attempts and, perhaps most famously, the KFC incident. No matter what he has done for entertainment value, there can be no denying that Psychofett is a much-improved wrestler. His performances have steadily improved with every event. The last two events have seen him take Damien Kross and F.N. Carnage to their limits. Against Carnage, it took the interference of Jamie Jurah to put Psychofett away for the three count.

Devlin Reeves was the first new wrestler to debut in Explosive Coastal Wrestling in 2003. And his debut certainly won’t be forgotten any time soon. He put up a great fight against Brock Freeman but that wasn’t what caught everyone’s attention. This young man certainly appeared to think that he was god’s gift to women. After just two matches, we have a list of Devlin’s greatest hits too. Among them his mid match groin thrusts at various crowd members, his inability to enter the ring without making a clown out of himself, his constant bicep posing and his carrying of women’s underwear in his own wrestling tights. But his skills have been quite solid and he has shown that he has been well trained.

ANALYSIS: This seems like a bit of a mismatch on paper. Psychofett’s antics seem to be designed to distract his opponents, where as Devlin appears to distract himself from the task of defeating his opponent. But maybe Reeve’s peculiarities will work in his favour for once. Will Psychofett know how to deal with someone who is every bit as bizarre as he is? Only time will tell.

Non-Title Match
JIMMY PAYNE v ?????????

It’s very hard to comment on this match when we have no idea who Jimmy will be facing in this match. What we do know is that Azazal has declared that this will be a non-title match. Exactly why the chairman has done this is not clear but he always seems to have a reason for his action. We asked Azazal who the opponent would be. He answer left us no closer to the truth. “What makes you think that I’ve even selected
an opponent yet?!! Whoever it is will be well aware of the task that I want carried out in this match,” he commented. Let’s look at who could be a possible adversary in this bout.

The self-proclaimed ‘King of the Piledriver’ F.N. Carnage has to be the strongest candidate for two reasons. 1) He is the number one contender by virtue of his win in the ECW Invitational Tournament at Re-Awakening and 2) He has no match at Evil Intentions at this stage. Reason number one also serves as grounds for him not to take this match. Why would the number one accept a non-title match? I think that the only reason would be to try and gain a psychological edge over Jimmy Payne before a possible title match. There is also the chance that Carnage could go into the match and not worry about winning or losing. He could use the match as a chance to try and spot a weakness in ‘Mr Anarchy’s’ armour. As these two have never done battle in an ECW ring it would be a strong plan of attack indeed.

What other options are there though? Of course there is the chance that Azazal has used the prospect of an ECW contract to entice an uncontracted wrestler to try and take out Jimmy Payne. This is a win-win situation for Azazal. If they manage to hurt Jimmy Payne, then the task of taking the title from him will be easier. However, if Jimmy destroys the unknown wrestler, Azazal will have lost nothing. The first name of possibles would have to include the three losers from the trainee match at The Uprising. Shane Haste, Kiel E. and BobbyBadBlood would surely jump at the chance to prove themselves again.

And speaking of the trainee match, what about Chris Lazareth, the winner of the ECW contract at the last event? Or, Anda Nothica, who also doesn’t have a match? Or Xeriyous Blade, the leader of The Uprising?

ANALYSIS: I wasn’t too sure of who it would be until I started to write this article. The more I wrote, the more I became convinced that F.N. Carnage would be the man here. That certainly doesn’t mean that I am certain. But whoever it turns out to be, I have to back the ECW champion. Jimmy has managed to overcome the odds this year. Jimmy defended the belt against Mikey with injured ribs and The Uprising at ringside. If he can beat those odds I don’t know how anyone is going to beat him, belt on the line or not.

Chair on a Pole Match
MIKEY v BRAD WEST

This match has the longest running history of any of the matches that will take place on April 12th. Brad West first raised the ire of Mikey by trying to help out The Vagrant at Re-Awakening. Since then Mikey has been obsessed with gaining a measure of revenge on Brad. This leads us to April 12th and the Chair on a Pole Match.

Brad West’s career had been marked ‘Work in Progress’ for some time. Brad had an unusual introduction to ECW by facing then ECW champion Davis Storm for the title on his very first night in Explosive Coastal Wrestling. After such a strange introduction, it seemed that Brad struggled to settle into ECW. He was improving with every match but was failing to come through with victories. Re-Awakening was a turning point for two reasons. Firstly Brad gained his first victory. And secondly, he gained the unwanted attention of Mikey and The Uprising. During the Vagrant versus Azazal match, Brad came down to ringside to try and stop The Uprising from getting involved in the match. Unfortunately, Brad was unsuccessful in negating the effect of The Uprising on the match.

Brad let The Uprising know that he wasn’t running from them, as he volunteered to be Shiggins tag team partner at The Mark Has Been Made. Again, the numbers got the better of Brad and Shiggins and The Uprising left with the win.

Mikey’s obsession with Brad is quite simple. Mikey has wiped almost every name off his hit list, which is on his chair that he carries. He has had four opportunities to strike Brad with the chair, and every time Brad has managed to escape from harm’s way. The first three chair shots missed completely but the fourth almost cost Brock Freeman his head. Brad may have ducked but Brock didn’t and he paid the price. There can be no doubt that Brad was the intended target of the vicious chair shot. Mikey will seemingly never rest until every name is rubbed off that list. This match provides him with the chance to get one step closer.

ANALYSIS: Has Brad bitten off more than he can chew? Mikey is one of ECW’s elite and is determined to ensure that Brad does not leave Evil Intentions with his head intact. He seemed more upset that he missed West with his chairshot at the last event, than he did by losing the title match to Jimmy Payne. Brad does not seem intimidated by Mikey or The Uprising. He has stepped up to this battle without any hesitation. He seems to be going into this match with a cool clear head, something that Mikey is clearly lacking at the moment. This may be Brad’s chance to make a huge move up in ECW………….or he may just wind up being another hit on Mikey’s ever growing list. (PS Watch out Richter. You are the only other name left on that chair)
