Hells Bells (HB) says: Hello everyone, I’m here tonight with MMA fighter Brad Matthews .
Hello Brad.
Brad Matthews (BM) says: Hiya Helen how’s it going?
HB says: Fine thanks Brad.
You had an excellent match last Saturday ignoring the ending of course. How do you feel the match itself went?
BM says: The match itself went great. I think there was a lot of back and forth action but I stuck to my game plan even though I was out numbered.
HB says: How did you feel about Rudy allowing UnaMannera to be present during the match and of course the new referee Phil Race?
BM says: To be honest I was glad UnaMannera was allowed to stay at ring side. I’m always up for a fight with a bigger guy but the new ref Phil Race was clearly playing favourites with the Word Association which made it a lot harder. I didn’t see the point really, Tom may be a good friend but he still would have called the match straight down the middle and no matter what the outcome I’d have respected it.
HB says: I totally agree Brad. Tom would always remain impartial but of course Rudy thought otherwise and as GM was able to bring in Phil as a substitute.
How did you feel when you thought you had beaten Catchweight Champion El Destello with that well executed choke hold?
BM says: Thought!….I did beat the Catchweight Champion El Destello.
I made him tap like a little school girl on a Saturday night. I was over the moon when the bell rang and Tom raised my hand and G-man gave me the belt that I deserved.
HB says: And then the bombshell that Rudy had overturned Tom’s decision.
What is your opinion of that?
BM says: That was a dirty move Rudy did, he knew I made El Destello tap fair and square but he had to dig deep to find a reason to overturn Tom’s decision and if you look over the rules of wrestling the choke I won with is a legal move in both MMA and WRESTLING and the other reason he used as well that Tom wasn’t the official for our match, well I’m sure it would have been ok if it was the other way round. Wouldn’t it? Rudy?
HB says: I’m sure you’re right Brad and we will have to see if Rudy responds to that point.
This has obviously left you feeling cheated of your rightful title as Catchweight Champion, so what are your plans going to be for your future in the BWP?
BM says: Yes you’re right to assume I feel cheated. I deserved that. I’ve bled and broken bones for it but after being cheated like that I’m not sure if I want to continue in the BWP.
I’m thinking of moving into full-time MMA where everyone seems to have respect for one another but we shall see what happens after the talks with Mr Saxon.
HB says: Have you already spoken to The Sax Man about this and explained how you feel?
BM says: Yes we have had a few discussions over it and he understands how I feel about it but our talks are continuing for another few days so nothing is set in stone just yet. If The Sax Man did manage to persuade me to stay I can tell you Destello will need more than the Word Association to protect him from me.
HB says: I’m sure El Destello needs to beware whatever your decision.
BM says: I’m sure he will find out one way or another.
HB says: I’m sure he will and is there anything you would like to say direct to Rudy, who after all is the person holding El Destello’s puppet strings and the person truly responsible for Saturdays Screw-job?
BM says: Yes….Rudy. For now you’re in control of the BWP locker-room but that won’t always be the case and as soon as your puppets have realised that you’re using them I will be waiting to take my revenge.
HB says: Well said Brad. We will wait to hear your decision about your future after you have spoken to The Sax Man and in the meantime I wish you well in your MMA matches and let’s hope that this disgusting travesty has not ruined your love of wrestling permanently.
BM says: Thanks Helen.
HB says: And thanks Brad for agreeing to talk to me this evening
BM says: I’m glad I did. I got a lot of things off my chest.
