Aaron Neil Always At A Handicap When Facing Impact, Inc.

Posted: Jul 30th 2009 By: CMBurnham

All MSWA Mid-South & IZW Champion Aaron Neil wants is a chance to face Johnny Z in a 1-on-1 match. And while Johnny continues to claim that he wants that as well, it seems like it's the last thing he's willing to accept.

For two weeks, Neil has followed Johnny through 3 differnet federations. And every time, he has challenged Johnny to a 1-on-1 match. In every instance, that 1-on-1 match has been turned into a handicap match. And Neil, not wanting to be perceived as unwilling to fight, has accepted in every instance. But the situation has grown beyond belief and Neil has been made a fool of more than once.

Two weeks ago, Neil came to the rescue of his Real Impact Players partner Se7en after Johnny Z & Bernie D made a post match attack on him. Neil was then told by GPCW Commissioner J. D. Richards that he could get at Impact, Inc., but only if he agreed to face them in a handicap match. In this occassion, it worked out for "The Real Deal" as was able to take advantage of the miscommunication going on between Johnny & Bernie to secure a win in that instance.

This past Saturday, Johnny & Bernie again got a chance to face Aaron in a handicap match. Johnny Z had just been named the #1 contender to the IZW Title and would be facing him at September Slam. Earlier in the night, Johnny had berated Bernie and told him that he better be on his game that night because he was tired of losing due to Bernie's inefficiencies. This pep talk seemed to work, Bernie used a chair to the back of Aaron to allow Johnny to hit the "Final Impact" and win the match. The challenger then grabbed the belt and stood proud over the champion, confident that when September Slam arrived, he would be the new IZW Champion.

That feeling hadn't subsided when the next day arrived and both competitors were in MSWA. Johnny Z & IZW Tag Team & GPCW Wichita Mountains Champion Jermaine Johnson arrived, with full security and personal photographer Ralfus, and opened the show as interim MSWA Commissioner Brad Michaels attempted to interview them. Johnny said that MSWA fans were all inbred hillbilly rednecks and reminded them about how they "kicked the crap out of the paper champion" Aaron Neil. Johnson announced that he loved it when he spit in Aaron's face, because it felt like he was spitting in the face of every MSWA fan. Johnny then went on to call Aaron, MSWA owner Bad Boy and former commissioner Outlaw all cowards. He said that ever since Outlaw left, there were some loose ends to tie up and he was going to handle one of those ends at this point. He declared himself the #1 contender to the MSWA Mid-South Title and said that he was getting a title shot this afternoon. Michaels did nothing to contradict this and the fans fully expected to see the title match in the main event.

As usual, when time for the main event rolled around, things were a little different. When Aaron arrived for the title match, he said that he represented all the fans and would gladly take Johnny Z out. He hoped that one day, Johnny would recognise that the fans outnumber Impact, Inc. Johnny accused Aaron of having a problem with him being handed things, such as the #1 contendership and backed down from his title match, saying he wanted to "prove" that he deserved it. He also made a point of how the fans don't deserve to see it. Instead, he said that since there were "so many" of the fans behind Aaron, he would feel comfortable in a handicap match. Aaron accepted and the match was on. As with the match the night before, Aaron Neil was on the receiving end of a chair shot (this time from Johnson) and Johnny Z ended up pinning the champion. But this time, when Johnny went over to get the belt and stand over Aaron mockingly, either the time-keeper or a member of MSWA security refused to let him have it. This infuriated Johnny, who ended up overturning the announce table and verbally accosting the timekeeper before being restrained by Impact, Inc. security and led to the back.

Johnny certainly seems to have Aaron's number, as long as the numbers favour him. But will things change in a 1-on-1 situation? Johnny has never held a singles title in his career and is looking to make his mark in not 1, but two federations as champion. Odds are that at least one of those titles will go his way. If Aaron can't get some assistance, he could find himself feeling a little empty around the waist.
