r4g 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2004 BACKSTORY OF MIKEY TENDERFOOT VS. ROD STEEL FEUD OF THE YEAR IN FLORIDA IN 2003 -Written by Dave "AODShirt" Tuthill A little bit of backstory to this feud that culminated in that great match at IPW's Five Year Anniversary spectacular: Rod Steel and Mikey Tenderfoot were best friends. They both broke into the business in IPW at around the same time. Mikey worked under a mask as Sejiin Akki (as evidenced by his tights in that match) for many years. Both men tore up the state on an individual basis for several years in IPW Hardcore Wrestling. Akki had memorable matches with the likes of Jeff Peterson, Jet Jaguar, Mike Quackenbush, Jermey Lopez, Tony Mamaluke, Jamie Noble, Scoot Andrews, etc. Rod Steel was doing likewise. In 2002, Scoot Andrews brought down the Alliance of Defiance from Jim Kettner's ECWA to invade IPW. The IPW version of the stable consisted of Scoot, "Marvelous" Mike Sullivan, Billy Fives, and Rod Steel. Mikey Tenderfoot came in as their heel referee (wait, isnt this angle going on now?) as well. All was well with the AOD. Scoot/Sullivan were tag champs, Billy Fives traded the NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship with Agent Steele and Danny Doring, and Rod Steel was your Rod Damn Champ, IPW Heavyweight Champion that is. Mikey Tenderfoot would often run-amuck with his best friend, referring in his title matches and frequently screwing his opponent over to the DISMAY of the Florida crowd. Tensions then began to flair. Fives was booted from the AOD and turned into MEGA BABYFACE. Agent Steele and Roderick Strong were brought in the same night Fives was booted out. All seemed well.....except for tension in the Tenderfoot/Rod Steel friendship. Mikey eventually turned on the AOD and also became a fan favorite. He engaged in a bitter feud with the Alliance of Defiance, in particular Rod, his former best friend. I recall one match between the two at the (RIP) Florida WrestlePlex, IPW's home venue, where Rod Steel and the rest of the AOD literally DESTROYED Mikey. But Mikey didn't quit, he was knocked out. Try as hard as he might, through beatings, through brawls, through 10 page long internet promos laced with innuendo and poor spelling, Rod Steel could NOT make Mikey Tenderfoot quit. He blew his casket and DEMANDED an "I Quit" match as the last match the two would EVER have in IPW Hardcore Wrestling. Well, you saw that match. A few weeks later during a tag match with Florida indy superstar Justice vs. Scoot Andrews/Mike Sullivan, Rod Steel came to the ring after the rest of the AOD bullrushed it and beat down Mikey/Justice, resulting in a DQ. Instead of joining in the gang beating, however, Rod LEVELED (heh) Mike Sullivan with a chair, to the shock of the rest of the AOD. He proceeded to steel chair the rest of them, and after a babyface clearing of the ring, the "Untouchables" of Mikey Tenderfoot and Rod Steel were born, to one of the loudest pops in the history of Florida wrestling (legit) Mikey and Rod continue in NWA Florida as a tag team. They recently had an AMAZING tag match with Scoot Andrews and Bruce (formerly Agent) Steele of the Alliance of Defiance. Rod broke his wrist in that match and is currently on the sidelines. Mikey has been continuing as a single wrestler until Rod heals. (Hopefully NWA Florida gets that tag match up soon as it was one f**king AWESOME match) ----- There you have it...hope it helped explain the backstory a little.

Guest Markingout Report post Posted April 16, 2004 I guess I will put up a review. Mikey Tenderfoot is so green, but the guy is a bumptaker. The match itself had pretty bad timing, and was a spotfest. Rod Steel tried to keep things together at first, but couldn't because of Tenderfoots inexperience. It seemed like Tenderfoot wanted to make himself look like superman rather than put on a good match. Rod Steel is great though. I can't wait for there to be some Lex Lovett, Agent Steel, Scoot Andrews, Roderick Strong and Steve Madison matches to be put up. These guys are some of the best on the circuit.
