IWWE: Aftershock (6/22)

Albert Beefcake welcomed the international fans to the very first IWWE: Aftershock, a show broadcasted live around the world with the week in review, and some special matches for the European and Australasian fans.
Albo showed footage of the gruelling casket match from Monday Martial Law and announced that the gutsy Jared Hasselhoff would wrestle Mr. Nomad later on in the night in main event action, and he himself would be in a match.

A montage was played to the song 'Take it' by Insane Clown Posse was shown next, showing the recent exploits of the superstar known as Lotus.
AB then opened the forum to the crowd to discuss the current Canadian champion.
The general response was a positive one, to which AB backed up. He said the current Canadian champion definitely had a bright future ahead of him in the IWWE.
He said he may very well be the first and greatest Canadian champ ever! A fan started a flower power chant, but was soon removed by security on AB's orders.

Albo showed the fans a collection of highlights from the recent IWWE heavyweight title tournament that took place over Monday and Thursday nights on both Martial Law, and Zero Tolerance.
He said he was very excited about the title match between Josh Heartbrand and Mick Lucifer on the first ever pay-per-view event coming up. He then informed the crowd that there were rumours Mr. Kronick had a third superstar picked out for the match.
Highlights of Mick Lucifer versus Jesseman were then shown, and Josh Heartbrand versus Shane McMahon. He said it was one of the hardest matches to call ever, but he had to back Josh Heartbrand to become the first IWWE champion.

After a break, Chris Benoit strutted out to the ring for a match with Albert Beefcake.
Albert was stunned by the offensive mounted by Chris Benoit, reeling from a series of stinging headbutts, in retaliation to AB's own headbutts.
AB fought back; knocking Benoit down with a spinning neck breaker and the Albo pancake. Albo went for a clothesline, missing and getting taken down with an incredible German suplex by the smaller Benoit! AB took him down though with a big gut wrench powerbomb.
Benoit wasn't down for long, going for another German, but getting tossed back by and ass thrust by AB. The Beefer went for the falling headbutt, but Benoit rolled out of the way! Albert, recovered quickly and took Benoit down again with a DDT.
AB proceeded to taunt to the crowd, and Benoit snuck behind going for a roll up, but not even getting a one count.
Benoit dropped the Alaskan with a huge flapjack. AB went for a samoan drop, but knocked the referee down instead. Without an official, Albert looked to his opponent and proceeded to do the big stinky dance in the middle of the ring!
The two shook hands and called it a no-contest, as the referee was helped out of the ring and backstage by Benoit.

Footage of the match between Mr. Nomad and Garfield was shown, with several replays of the chair shot delivered by Mr. Kronick.
AB brought up rumours that Garfield was leaving the world of wrestling again, possibly looking to return to rival company - the IWWF. The Beefer declared that his sources indicated that Garfield had indeed left the IWWE.

AB allowed fans to watch a brief interview with Mick Lucifer, one of the current number one contenders for the IWWE heavyweight title. Lucifer showed great confidence and declared that he would win the title, and finally get the respect he deserved from the fans and his peers. When Lucifer said they would know his name is the Lord of Darkness, AB said "who", only to be attacked by Lucifer.

Jared Hasselhoff made his way to the ring next, to face Mr. Nomad in a hardcore match up. Nomad got a good start, taking Hasselhoff down by reversing his vertical suplex attempt, but soon found himself on the receiving end of a wrenching neck breaker. Nomad soon recovered, unloading on Hasselhoff with right and left hands in a mounted position, busting Jared wide open!
Hasselhoff took master Nomad down with a nice spinebuster, and flew high from the top rope with a moonsault! Hasselhoff followed up with a top rope suplex, and went to the corner again, only to have it reversed into a powerbomb by Mr. Nomad!
Hasselhoff brought out a chair and nailed Mr. Nomad with it. It wasn't enough though to stop the master Nomad scooping him up and getting the three count.

Albert Beefcake then said his goodbyes, and thank the superstars of the IWWE particularly Chris Benoit, Jared Hasselhoff, Mr. Nomad and of course Mr. Kronick and the fans as the very first IWWE: Aftershock went off the air.
