                                                                                Undertaker      vs      Tank Johnson    vs     Vader

 

  Over 30 years of wrestling experience between the 3 of them, Almost a half ton of humanity, and the main event of the grand daddy of them all, Wrestle Fest 2.  That was the stage set for this timeless masterpiece main event that would happen.  Undertaker had held the TWA title since 2003 when he defeated the Ultimate Warrior at a houseshow. Tank Johnson who formerly wrestled in TWA as the Big Show, had taken 10 years away from TWA to persue Martial Arts, Wrestling, and UFC.  Vader had been competing at the time for 10 years for TWA and felt like this was his big break opportunity. 

 

It was a classic set up for a main event for such a big stage.  You had 2 challengers, who had paid dues to the business, and a dominate champion that many believed couldnt be beat.  The match began fast and furious with all three men jockeying for an advantage.  Undertaker hit on many big moves in the early parts of this epic encounter. Vader was the recipient of the first one, when Undertaker shattered a large light bulb over the mastedon's back.  Undertaker also offered a breath taking high cross body onto both Vader and Tank standing outside the ring.  All of those who believed that the Undertaker was just too strong and too powerful ,were patting themselves on the back believing they were right.  That ended when Tank set up the Undertaker with a hard shot, and Vader polished the Dead Man off with a Vintage Vader Bomb for the 1-2-3, ending a 6 year reign as TWA champ. 

 

The TWA was guranteed to get a new champion on the biggest stage in TWA which is Wrestle Fest 2.  Vader and Tank were realizing their dreams batting for the title at such a big event with the world watching.  This match continued and saw both men leave it all in the ring.  3 more tables were broken and eventually Tank Johnson realized his ultimate dream when he made Vader pass out and became the new TWA champion.
