SuperFight Recap: Riddle Defends World Title Against Kane & Kojima

SuperFight in Atlanta kicks off with Easy E, Mr. Eric Bischoff himself who after MLW One-Shot wanted more and he’s doing that in the homebase of WCW. During a private dinner, Eric was bestowed with the Ted Turner Lifetime Achievement Award which is sitting on stage Bischoff teases the possibility that he could make his MLW stay permanent before he is interrupted by Alex Kane!

Kane is far from pleased since Bischoff fired him at One-Shot and is ready to take it out on the former WCW prez. Bischoff said he’s ready to fight, but if Kane chooses to take him on, he forgoes his World Title shot tonight. Mr. Thomas talks him out of it, but he doesn’t talk Kane from destroying the Ted Turner award! Bischoff is enraged and demands security escort Kane out of the building!

MATCH 1
Místico & Máscara Dorada vs. Templario & Esfinge

Backstage Eric Bischoff catches a whiff of something burning, and finds out the smell is coming from his office! Inside is Matt Riddle and Tom Lawlor who are cooking up an impromptu pizza party! Riddle offers Eric a slice and Eric makes clear he’s not keen on Matt’s actions, including him bringing back Alex Kane. Riddle says Kane back creates controversy and controversy creates cash. Bischoff says he’ll make Riddle pay and kicks him out of the office. Eric then catches wind that Kane has done something and swiftly leaves. In sneaks Cesar Duran who grabs hold of the MLW “confidential” folder and sneaks out unseen!
