We’d started with Kevin Nash and Marvin Ward against The Rock ‘n Roll Express, but when it became clear that Marvin wasn’t working himself into shape to be able to perform in-ring, we wrote him out of the match with a storyline injury at the hands of the Rock ‘n Rolls suffered at a house show a month out from the pay-per-view.

The Finlay-Silva match actually came after two other very forgettable matches on the card. The first featured the return of Perry Saturn after a lengthy absence from the wrestling world facing off with former ECW minor player C.W. Anderson.

I haven’t seen Hank Fawcett since the night of the pay-per-view, technically the early-morning hours the day after the pay-per-view, when he met my wife and I to give us a really big check to catch up on what he’d owed us for our work.

Kevin Nash, we didn’t know at the time, will do anything if his price is met, and his price wasn’t out of reach on this one, not with Hank fronting the money.

The company was coming apart at the seams at this stage of the game. It had been for at least a couple of months, as I had hinted at earlier, when I wrote about how it seemed my main job with AWE had become that of peacemaker between Hank and Marvin, with my responsibilities in creative, PR and marketing taking a backseat role, just as we tried to keep the company moving forward to the night of the pay-per-view.

One night we were messing around on YouTube looking for videos featuring Ricky that we could play off of when we came across a shoot interview that he had done years earlier that had him doing his best to tear Kevin Nash a new one.
