Captured Kidd: The Failure of Fresh

The amazing thing about Kidd Fresh isn’t his humiliating defeat at the hands of The Freak Show. It isn’t that he’s now literally hogtied and captured, face literally at Lil Buck’s feet; the amazing thing about Kidd Fresh is the fact that he always reboots and rises again.

Kidd Fresh is most famously associated with his ‘taxicab’ trunks that lately more and more beautifully outline his thick backside and thighs. But the Kidd’s best identifying trait is actually his persistence in the face of failure.

When Kidd Fresh arrived, he did so with Stahr Power as the first of a series of independent pro wrestlers entering BWN with an agenda of revamping it and rebuilding it into an indy pro fed. Kidd Fresh entered alongside JT STahr who the group is named after but ended up doing all the heavy lifting as Stahr directed him to fight foe after foe.

When he was ultimately unable to defeat Snake in a brutally hard fought Crossfire match to turn the company into an indy fed, Stahr sent Xavier Cage to punish him for the loss. This despite the fact that Fresh worked incredibly hard, once defeating three men at once including a BWN Legend.

But Fresh survived the loss.

He regrouped and joined BWN officially…but was then immediately mistaken for someone else (Cain) and destroyed by the massive Crusher. Fresh survived that as well.

Having been on the losing side of the BWN vs. Stahr Power war, Kidd Fresh took what he had coming and got destroyed by Cell and Assassin and then MDK as well when they feuded over who should get a shot at the Undisputed Champion Sword. MDK busted the Kidd open, demanding that he submit. Even bleeding from the mouth, Kidd Fresh refused. Only when his ankle was about to be permanently damaged did he finally verbally submit. But he survived.

Fast forward to the rise of The Freak Show and the Kidd stepped up right away. He was among the first to challenge the new Triple Crown Champion Stitch. They went to war and Fresh appeared to have earned the W when Stitch got back up and blindsided him, knocking him out cold. Pink spray paint across his chest spelling out the letters TFS, Fresh lay wasted again.

Determined not to let that be the end of it, Kidd Fresh launched an unprecedented one-year long undefeated streak taking on all comers from outside BWN. He won every single one of those Open Challenge matches including those against far bigger and more powerful men. He survived them all.

Having done so, Fresh declared himself worthy of a second try against The Freak Show and targeted the man that had done the opposite of what Kidd Fresh did: Tiger, who turned against BWN and switched to The Freak Show. Despite having been punished by his own Stahr Power crew when he failed, Kidd Fresh never outright turned on his old crew until after they threw him out and has no respect for anyone that would betray their roots.

Kidd Fresh beat Tiger…for a while…but then The Freak Show’s tricks came into play and Fresh found himself unconscious and then awaking again on the mats. Confused, he continued the match not realizing that while knocked out TFS had attached an electric gimmick to his testicles which Tiger then deployed during their match, shocking Fresh into stunned agony.

Now defenseless, Fresh got dominated by Tiger and carried away.

This time, when he woke up Fresh felt toes pressing his chin up and forcing eye contact with someone he’d never met before: Lil Buck, one of the leaders of The Freak Show.

Hogtied and groggy, Kidd Fresh is then drugged and forced to fight Lil Buck. Even in that stated, the Kidd overperformed and seemed on the verge of a major upset when LB went low and crushed his balls yet again.

This time, Fresh couldn’t mount a comeback and Lil Buck defeated him.

But that wasn’t enough for The Freak Show.

Beaten and laid out, Kidd Fresh is then felt up by Lil Buck and massaged while out cold — a plaything for LB and TFS.

Lil Buck then turns Kidd Fresh back over to Tiger as his reward for beating him. To add insult to injury, Tiger is given the injured Fresh to beat on and this time the taxicabs will be gone: Kidd Fresh will be degraded by being forced to fight with his ass completely out, in a jockstrap.

The ignoble end that Fresh always sought to avoid has come to pass: he’s an ass-out wrestler, owned by The Freak Show.

The Kidd has lost bets before; for a time, he was owned by Papi when he lost that match and was his servant. But even Papi didn’t make him wrestle ass-out.

The failure of Fresh is one of the hardest pills to swallow this year: he now belongs to TFS to do with as they will and there’s nothing he can do about it. The Freak Show broke Kidd Fresh. He now wrestles in their matches, wears what they say, and obeys their commands.

The Kidd deserves better. But he joins the ranks of others that are TFS Property: Trouble, Sgt English, and Novian.
