Directly after the match under the order of [[Rad Hazard]] the team of Tommy Tenacious and The Prototype faced and defeated The Scharnhorst Brothers to become the new GBYWN Midwest Tag Team Champions. This act from Rad was in response to Rick defeating the newest member of the Radical Movement Zaq Cass at MWA 4. At MWA 9 the duo was set for a rematch for the Midwest Tag Team championship. That match was altered when King BW added Tomato Juice to the match. This addition proved beneficial to Tomato Juice when Mikee pinned Rick to claim the belts. MWA 12 marked Rick's final match when he was revealed as the 6th member of the 6 man battle royal. Scharnhorst eliminated Tristen Parker with some assistance from rival Mikee. Shortly after this however Rick was pinned after an Adam Black jawbreaker. This marked the end of Rick's nearly 6 year backyard wrestling career. | ||
