Who Is The Midnite Rider?

Posted: Jul 18th 2009 By: CMBurnham

Just who is the Midnite Rider? This masked man of mystery was thought to be Shane Rawls, after he removed his mask and attacked Carnage the week prior. Yet upon reviewing security camera footage from the locker room, Shane Rawls was discovered to be attacking the Midnite Rider from behind. So, not only is it not Rawls, but his identity is once again a mystery. I spoke with the Rider for a moment, and he said nothing except to flip a coin gesturing that he would get retribution against Rawls.

Later that night, I tried to get a word with Shane Rawls in the locker room. I knocked on his room's door, but before he could leave a hand reached out and grabbed his shoulder. "Just do everything I've told you to do. You are the next big thing in IZW," he said. Shane Rawls had a match against Carnage that night, and during the bout, Bad Brad Michaels?a member of the IZW Hall of Fame?came out and attacked Carnage with the timekeeper's hammer. So... it's been Michaels in Rawls' ear all along!? What plans do they have in store for IZW? and just who exactly is that masked man!?

In other news from the show, Johnny Z was set to compete in the main event against IZW Heavyweight Champion Aaron Neil. But after the match began, Johnny decided to remove himself from it, citing a clause in the contract which allowed him to name a suitable replacement if he so chose. He did, and selected Bernie D to take his place. Is Johnny Z conserving his energy for a fight at a later date? Or is he running scared?
