ICWW: Dead Or Alive II

October 5th - ICWW: Dead or Alive II
'I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my sense
It's not my time to go.
Yes, I'll die another day'

Tag Team Championship match
Shawn Michaels & The Rock d. Acidic Wonder & Ironize (c) via DQ

Ironize started the action against heated rival Shawn Michaels with a nice neck breaker. Acidic Wonder tagged in early dropping Michaels with a single arm DDT. Shawn was on the ropes when the Wonder began taunting to the crowd! The Rock nailed Ironize with a flapjack after the two tagged in and while Acidic Wonder had the referee distracted Ironize retrieved a chair from outside and swung wildly at The Rock, The Rock drop kicked it straight back at Ironize! Ironize recovered and managed a shaky piledriver, but put himself down for the count. The Rock set up for the people's elbow, but just before he nailed it Ironize flung his leg up connecting with the Rock's jaw. The wonder ran in and nailed The Rock with a chair getting Catch 22 disqualified. Shawn Michaels left straight away having a tantrum about the  out come of the match while a dazed Catch 22 celebrated keeping the Tag Team championships. Ironize left his partner with the tag title as he chased off to be a part of the Hardcore war.
 
Hardcore Championship War
Shawn Michaels (c) VS Ironize VS Patrick Mannion

Shane Altmann presented backstage as Shawn Michaels, Ironize and Patrick Mannion prepared to compete in the first ever Hardcore War match. The timer was ticking down in which the three superstars would engage in a match that would not finish until just before the main event at the end of the night. The superstars would fight, with the final pin being the hardcore champ. Michaels started off with a DDT on Mannion, straight to concrete. Ironize charged in quickly with a steel chair, wiping the champ into next week. Mannion reversed the chair into Ironize, and then kicked a shovel back into Shawn's face! Michaels recovered and dropped Mannion with a nice falcon arrow, and then took off his shirt and began strangling former champ Ironize. Mannion broke up the choke, and dropped Michaels straight onto the backstage concrete with a vertical suplex. Mannion then climbed atop a table and clocked Ironize in with a flying elbow. Ironize rolled the pin over to get a three count.
 
Dez Burnett d. Mad Knifa the Cat
In straight one on one competition rookie Dez Burnett faced off against Mad Knifa in his first ICWW appearance. The Cat showed off his skills running straight at the turnbuckle and performing and incredible moonsault! Burnett recovered and dropped MK with a nice hard clothesline. Mad Knifa attempted a vertical suplex  but Burnett had composure enough to reverse the move. Burnett nailed a DDT, which provoked the Knifa to roll outside the ring. From under the ring he retrieved and urn and knocked Burnett down, being disqualified.
 
Submission Eurasian Championship match
William Regal d. Albert Beefcake (c)

The Eurasian champion arrived to a huge ovation as he strutted his stuff in the ring busting the Beefer Bus stop. Regal broke up celebrations as he raced into the ring and took the Beefer down with a press and hit him hard with right hands. Albert got to his feet raring loudly, only to have Regal German suplex him! The Alaskan Bear-Whale recovered and the two superstars found themselves rolling across the ring beating the taste out of each others mouths. Regal hammered Albert with a pump handle slam, and attempted to clamp down an abdominal stretch but Albert fought out, reversing it into another pump handle slam. The Beefcake maneuvered into an STF, but was close to the ropes Regal slipping out quickly. Regal managed to drop the Beefer down with a high impact move and clamped down the Regal Stretch. Albert struggled but managed to fight his way out of the move. Once back on his feet Regal revealed a pair of brass knuckles which he used to absolutely plaster the Eurasian champion with legally. He once again locked up the Regal Stretch and Albo tapped out. William Regal celebrated with his fans, taking the time to wave and thank the heavens for the power of the punch.
 
Hardcore Championship War
Ironize VS Shawn Michaels VS Patrick Mannion VS Violent J

We crossed back to the hardcore war with Violent J now a part of the battle, legal via the 24/7 rule being reinitiated for the match. Mannion took Michaels down with a huge side Russian leg sweep, and then dropped Ironize with a powerslam. Violent J picked up the dazed Ironize and slammed him straight back down with a flapjack and then attack Mannion. Ironize got to his feet and tried to take the hardcore champions head off with a savage chair shot to the skull. Violent J dropped Patrick Mannion with the psycho flip, and was then caught from behind with a chair from Shawn Michaels. Violent J slammed Michaels with the psycho flip and went for a pin, but Michaels kicked out and hit him with a chair. Violent J made another roll up attempt, but Michaels kicked out again. Meanwhile Patrick Mannion dropped Ironize face first into a pile of backstage equipment with an X-Factor face buster, and went for the pin getting a three count.
 
No holds barred National championship match
Jason Shamrock d. Banging (c)

Banging made his way to the ring next to defend his National championship. Banging stared on blankly as Jason Shamrock made his way into the ring and went on the charge snapping Banging down with a neck breaker. Banging dropped Shamrock with a nice DDT, but when trying for another got put down with a Shamrock DDT. Shamrock followed the hardcore trend and nailed Banging with a steel chair but couldn't keep him down! The match spilled to the outside of the ring, Banging trying to gash Shamrock with a glass bottle! The challenger busted Banging open with another savage chair shot, but Banging managed to nail his opponent with a Devil Driver!!! It wasn't enough though, Shamrock coming to and hitting him with a stunner and a pin.
 
Backstage Albert Beefcake was half moping, half strutting when he came across ICWW superstar, Stat-Man. Stat-Man assured the Alaskan Bear-Whale that he had done well with three successful title match wins. The Beefer smiled and offered Stat-Man a loud "rar" as he strutted his way to the shower rooms. Stat-Man flew away.
 
Hardcore Championship War
Violent J d. Tony McTier, Shawn Michaels, Patrick Mannion and Ironize

We returned to the hardcore championship war for the third and final time in the night, awaiting a winner. A battered and bruised Ironize staggered away, obviously having had enough after both the Tag and War matches. Tony McTier who had apparently jumped in nailed Shawn Michaels with a knee to the stomach, and then Violent J took him down with a Lou Thesz press. Michaels took Violent J down with a hard flapjack shaking the violent clown to the core, when he tried to stand and hit Michaels with a chair shot he could do nothing but fall to the ground. Mannion capitalized send Michaels into a pile of equipment and clamping down a single legged crab on Violent J. J kicked out but stayed down while Mannion was distracted by the still official hardcore champion Shawn Michaels. Mannion caught him with a powerslam, and attempted a sleeper hold, only to find his move reversed. The referee checked Mannion and began his ten count, but Mannion found a second win after six. Tony McTier and Violent J found themselves a fair way from their opponent in amongst cables and sound equipment. McTier nailed Violent J with a stunner, but Violent J was able to come back with a nice psycho flip and a pin to become the new champ. After being awarded the belt Violent J hopped into a nearby VIP cart and sped away from the battle field, and broken bodies.
 
Backstage Lord Nomad was talking to an interviewer, he had this to say; "I am Lord Nomad, I've never beaten Xio before, but guess what? I've got nothing to lose here. My buddy Mick Lucifer is the referee, so what? Nomad can do the job himself!"

Special Referee Heavyweight Championship match
Xio (c) & Lord Nomad tied when referee stopped the match

Lord Nomad made his entrance first as the challenger jumped into the ring barely visible in the darkness of the arena. Xio made his explosive entrance next, strutting down to the ring with the ICWW heavyweight championship over his shoulder. Mick Lucifer made his big entrance making his way to the ring decked out in striped shirt and then eerily smiling at Xio and Nomad. The bell was sounded and Xio was the first to ignore Lucifer diving at Nomad with a Lou Thesz press. He followed up with a high impact spinebuster, but Nomad jumped right back up sending the champion into the ropes and then down to the mat with a flapjack. Xio quickly retrieved a chair and slid in while Mick Lucifer smiled on, Xio knocked Lord Nomad out of his shoes with a thunderous chair shot. Nomad got to his feet but was bashed over the head again with a chair, he tried to send Xio into the ropes but was rolled up into a pin. Lucifer dropped but only one and a half, Lord Nomad kicking out in no time. Xio soon executed his own version of the VanDaminator! Nomad recovered and attacked back with a chair, he sent Xio into the ropes with an irish whip and nailed the Mail Bomb!
Xio got to his feet quickly, apparently less affected by the move than Nomad. Xio dropped Nomad with a huge stunner, busting his lip open sending blood down his chin. Mick Lucifer smiled as he came between Nomad and Xio, and then wrapped his hand around Xio's neck. With Xio tired from the hard battle he couldn't fight it, Mick Lucifer dropping him out cold with a thunderous chokeslam!
Nomad staggered over to Mick Lucifer and the referee of darkness gave Nomad a hug, only to drop him with a huge belly to belly suplex!! Lucifer called for the bell and smiled as he stood dominant over the two warriors he'd just levelled. The time keeper brought Lucifer the belt and he snatched the microphone from the announcer and sent an evil laugh through the arena. At the ramp Lucifer held the title high and smiled toward the broken bodies of Xio and Nomad  when suddenly a huge hairy fist slammed Mick Lucifer from behind, provoking him to charge backstage as Dead or Alive went off the air.
