M.V.P. kicks out of KANE-ing

20OCT2006: Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center. The pumped up near capacity crowd is HOT as M.V.P. makes his way down the ramp. Recap of last week's surprise matchup between Porter and KANE ends with M.V.P. running for the back after a thorough trounce by the Big Red Machine.

M.V.P. gets on the mic and says he wasn't prepared for a matchup against KANE last week, and the only reason he left the ring was because he had something in his eye! Yeah! A couple of knuckles belonging to KANE! Fans are chanting "POWER RANGER" as Porter goes on to say he's ready this week for KANE, and this time the outcome will be different.

KANE walks out through the erupting fires of hell, larger than life and grim as the reaper, and the first match of the night is about to begin. In the ring, M.V.P. takes a shove at the ref before he can call for the bell, and goes at KANE with his fists thinking to catch him off guard. KANE pushes his opponent away only to have him come at him again to land a few right punches and get the same results. M.V.P. moves in again and KANE sends him crashing to the mat with a powerful right of his own. After getting his head slammed against the turnbuckle, another jarring right uppercut and an Irish whip across the ring, M.V.P. stumbles into KANE who picks him up for a slam, but Porter wriggles out over KANE's back to roll out the ring.

This week, KANE isn't willing to wait and see, he meets the disoriented M.V.P. on the outside with an uppercut then slings him back into the ring. As KANE enters the ring, M.V.P. drops an elbow but the Big Guy was ready and moved - M.V.P. met the mat. Now KANE drags him out of the ring and M.V.P. is giving a time-out signal!!! KANE stumbles over Porter's legs after that one grabs his trunks and pulls and KANE hits the steel steps knee first. MVP capitalizes on KANE's position, stomping on him before getting back in the ring before a count out. KANE is back in the ring before the count of 8, M.V.P. is waiting and goes on the offensive pounding KANE's back and working the injured knee with kicks and punches. Each punch and kick by Porter seems to rally KANE rather than keep him down, and when he finally gains his knees, he stops M.V.P., grabbing his boot in mid kick to follow-up with an uppercut. Porter resorts to raking at KANE's eyes - and here's where we get the promised 'different ending' from last week . . .

Instead of hightailing it out of the ring THIS time, M.V.P. kicks the back of KANE's leg, bringing him back down to one knee. M.V.P. does this weird little dance I've only seen on the playground then goes to bounce off the ropes only to be met by a Big Boot to the face from KANE. Before M.V.P. can recover, KANE sweeps him up for a side slam then exits the ring, climbs the ropes and jumps back in with a flying clothesline. KANE waits as MVP staggers up, clamps his mighty mitt around MVP's throat, poised to deliver the ChokeSlam only to have MVP deliver a swift and stunning kick to his groin - and the ref calls for the bell! AAAAAOOOOOW MAN! KANE staggers about a bit, starts to head after MVP who has rolled out the ring, grimaces then raises a burning glare at the fleeing self-proclaimed hottest property in sports entertainment. Winner by DQ - KANE.
