[2001-01-13-WWF-Metal] K-Kwik vs Donovan Morgan

[GSR]

It’s time to get rowdy and move some things! There’s an advert for Tough Enough on the bottom of the screen telling you how to apply if you think you’ve got what it takes to be a WWF superstar. Morgan escapes the hammerlock with a lovely roll through and grabs the wrist. Kwik with the reversal, however Morgan backs him into the corner and drives a shoulder into his mid-section on the break. A series of forearms, uppercuts and kicks drop Kwik, but as Morgan starts running his mouth to the fans and forgetting about his opponent, Kwik flips himself up to the top turnbuckle and lands a missile dropkick. The pair of them badly screw up a frankensteiner with Kwik spiking Morgan on his head. Kwik goes for the Irish whip, but Morgan keeps hold of his hand and hits a cracking belly to back suplex. Northern Lights suplex for a two. Reversal by Kwik and he takes Morgan down with a ‘flatliner’. A side kick for a near fall before he puts Morgan away with a sit out face first suplex.

 

I’ll be watching quite a bit of stuff from Metal in the re-watch as there’s a ton of interesting looking matches on the shows this year with the likes of Chris Daniels, Low Ki, Samoa Joe, Scoot Andrews and more all working as enhancement talent. Fundamentally Morgan is so much better than Kwik it’s just the same problem with him, he’s as dull as dish water and struggles to make a connection with the audience. I know he works NOAH later in 2001 and that should be more up his field than working in the US. Kwik has his flashy high spots but still isn’t that good.
