ICWW: New Year's Evil

December 29, 2002 - ICWW: New Years Evil 'This fatal fourway has more than just a heavyweight championship on the line, this is about grudges. Oozaru/Banging - Michaels/Lucifer. Tonight the lines will be drawn, and the feuds settled. All ties will be broken, so that there may be a fresh start in the new year. The year of evil...

"Ladies and gentlemen from the edge of 2002 welcome to ICWW: New Years Evil! I'm Buddy Luv, along side of me is Stat-Man and El Tripilacho, what a huge event this is fixing to be. By the end of the night a lot of grudges are going to come to a head. The Eurasian championship match between the Nomad and new comer Loopster is fixing to be a battle of old and new! The fatal fourway for the heavyweight championship! Not to mention the National championship going on the line as we finally find out who the phony cop really is! Here we go!"

 

Albert Beefcake made his way to the ring and jumped on a microphone. He said that he was prepared for any result here, and guaranteed that he would exact justice upon the person who had been posing as the phony cop. Violent J's music kicked up as the National champion made his way down the ramp. Albert began exclaiming that he knew it was Violent J, but at that moment the distorted voice of the phony cop started laughing through the arena. He said, "No Albert, it was so easy to make you think that. However it seems that we've been unable to phase your success, or Violent J's. So now it's time to do it manually..." At that second Marz raced onto the stage and made a b-line for the ring, capitalising on the shock still instilled in Albert and the Juggalo Champion.

 

Hardcore Triple Threat National Championship match
Marz d. Albert Beefcake & Violent J (c)
Marz headed straight for his former partner Violent J, and began hammering away with the mounted punches. Albert tried to pull Marz off, but J interpreted it as a double team attack and planted the Beefer with a DDT! Back on his feet but stunned, Albert then fell victim to a stiff neck breaker, which then allowed Marz to drop him with a flapjack! Just when it looked like Team Extreme may've returned, Marz turned and knocked Violent J into next week with two savage jabs with his nightstick! The phony cop then turned his attention to Albert Beefcake, slapping him hard with the nightstick and then he hooked up and dropped him on his head with a spiral bomb! Albert bought some time with his 'mofo low blow', but spent it on the mat completely dazed. Violent J used this time to roll to the outside to get hold of a steel chair, which he used to plaster Marz, but it wasn't enough! Marz managed to dodge the weapon attack and hit the spiral bomb on his former partner! He laid the stomp down on J, kicking him all the way out of the ring and then pinned Albo for the championship win. Not content Marz began hammering away on the fallen J with his nightstick, while the distorted laugh of the phony cop could be heard again! Albert already reeling in the ring looked even more shocked when William Regal stepped out of the entrance way. He called Albert a bloody idiot and told him that he only proved the point by overlooking the possibility of an alliance. Regal said that Albert had besmirched his career and he wanted nothing more than revenge for that, and for him exposing his bladder problem. He then joined Marz in the beat down, leaving Albo and J for dead.

 

Backstage Loopster was standing by with Shane Altmann who asked him how he felt about his upcoming Eurasian title match. Loopster said that he was surprised how brutal William Regal and Marz were, but said it was only half as brutal as he could be. He promised to go out there and give the folks a show they'd never forget, as he whooped out the old, and waged in the sick.

 

Hardcore Championship match
Ghrimm d. Rockey (c)
Rockey started things in his first hardcore championship defense since defeating the Rock. He looked impressive, starting with a surprising Asai springboard moonsault! Ghrimm recovered dropping the champ with a nice DDT and then followed up with a Lou Thesz press. Rockey dropped his opponent with a nice hag-kor arawan and took it to his opponent with another moonsault! Ghrimm recovered and managed to reverse an attempt at a low blow. Ghrimm started to take hold, nailing the hardcore champ with his Dro Slam finisher! Ghrimm went into the ropes and jumped up to pin the champ with a smooth victory roll to score his first ICWW championship.

 

Table Eurasian Championship match
Loopster d. The Nomad (c)
The challenger Loopster made his way to the ring first psyching himself up as Nomad entered the arena to a positive crowd response. He raced to the ring and wasted no time getting the match started with a vicious bulldog! Loopster shook it off and hit a double DDT combo! Nomad sent the Loopster into the ropes and dropped him with a crescent kick. He looked for another, but Loopster ducked under it and nailed him with a Thai knee right to the face. Loopster nailed Nomad in the head with his 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire, and then dropped him with the something factor! Loopster rolled out of the ring and got sick with the crowd as he slid a table out from under the ring. He rolled back into the ring and used his barbed wire 2x4 once again to knock Nomad silly! Nomad staggered to his feet and managed a bible black, but the impact was lost, allowing Loopster to get to his feet again and hit the Loop Pile Driver! Loopster headed to the outside once more and set up the table at ringside, slapping a high five to someone in the crowd before returning to the ring. He dropped the stunned Nomad with yet another Loop Pile Driver and then hammered down with his 2x4. Nomad seemed to get a second wind suddenly, after reversing another 2x4 shot Nomad hooked up for a powerbomb, driving Loopster's back into a turnbuckle! Unfortunately the move took a lot out of Nomad, allowing Loopster to hit another Loop Pile Driver!! He then taunted Nomad, dropping him on his head with a Bible Black! Loopster laughed and sent Nomad into the ropes opposite, and then flipped him over his head with a back body drop over the top rope right through the table outside for the win!! Loopster snatched the Eurasian championship from the referee and mounted the turnbuckle, showing the crowd his prize to a huge roar!

 

Backstage Oozaru was with Shane Altmann when he said that he would finally take what was rightfully his. He told Altmann that he had never held a heavyweight championship, but it was only a matter of time because he was a monster in the ring. Suddenly Banging attacked Oozaru from behind with a sledge hammer! The grandslam champ hammered away on Oozaru. Before warning Altmann that Michael Lucifer and Shawn Michaels were next in line for an ass kicking.

 

Submission match
Jason Shamrock d. Kurt Angle
Shamrock and Angle stared each other down in the ring before tying up. Shamrock made the first move dropping Angle with a nice DDT. Angle went for his own DDT, but Shamrock managed to fend it off and drop him with one of his own. Shamrock hooked up his fallen opponent in an STF submission hold, but was too close to the ropes. Angle struck with a quick punch, and grabbed his opponent in a front waist lock looking for a belly to belly suplex, but Shamrock countered with a devastating suplex of his own!! Angle managed to hit a low blow, and suplexed Shamrock down giving him a chance to try for the Angle lock, but Shamrock reversed it!! Angle dropped the boot on Shamrock and locked up with an Angle lock! Shamrock's powerful legs managed to get him out of the hold, and got him into position to nail the wipeout! Shamrock followed up with a nice DDT and locked up with the guillotine choke hold, forcing Angle unconscious! Shamrock celebrated the win.

 

It was announced that the beat down Oozaru had received from Banging was so savage that it meant he would be unable to compete in the fatal four way heavyweight championship match. Oozaru had apparently been taken to hospital for a check up on possible broken ribs.

Fatal Fourway Heavyweight Championship match
Shawn Michaels d. Banging & Michael Lucifer (c)
Banging made his way to the ring first still wielding his sledge hammer encouraging Shawn Michaels to stay in his corner. The two jumped as the arena was filled with light from the infamous Lucifer wall of fire as the champion made his way to the ring quickly. The bell rang as Lucifer dropped Banging with a big boot, and then threw the sledge hammer out into the crowd narrowly missing fans. Banging turned looking for a DDT, but Lucifer reversed the move knocking Banging down allowing him to plant a big leg drop. Michaels jumped in and knocked Banging down with a nice crescent kick, but got taken down with a jumping DDT from the heavyweight champ. Michaels knocked Lucifer back with a nice heart punch, but was caught by Banging with a huge Samoan drop! Michaels hit a Judgment slam on Banging, but was sent flying with a huge clothesline from Michael Lucifer. Lucifer sent Banging into the ropes and then slammed him hard with a Death Valley driver. He rolled outside and threw the ring announcer into the crowd, taking his chair and heading back to the ring. Banging grabbed the chair while Lucifer stood on the apron, and drop kicked him off the apron back into the announcers table! Banging turned in time to nail Shawn Michaels once, twice, three times with the steel chair! With Michaels down Banging looked to inflict more pain, but Michaels was cunning enough to kick the chair right back in Banging's face! Michael Lucifer furiously climbed back into the ring and slammed Shawn Michaels with a huge boot to the face, and then grabbed Banging by the throat. The champ picked him up and planted him with an incredible Devil Driver!!! With Banging completely in another world Lucifer readied to pin when Shawn Michaels made a second wind attack with a huge Sweet Chin Music! Lucifer was reeling, and then Michaels hit another super kick sending him over the top rope. The heavyweight champ dived back into the ring but it was too late, Michaels already getting the pin to become the new champ! Michael Lucifer looked furious as he grabbed Michaels by the throat and chokeslammed him! He held the heavyweight title high above his head and continued to stomp Michaels down when all of a sudden Loopster raced to the ring and slammed Lucifer with the Eurasian belt! Familiar carnage as the last main event of 2002 came to a crashing end with Loopster standing tall over the big men!

 

ICWW: Aftershock (12/27/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      DECEMBER 27, 2002

Eric Angle made his way to the ring as ICWW: Aftershock opened, he took to the microphone and said that Shamrock's plans to take on his brother in a submission match at NYE was a poor career move, because losses never help anyone get anywhere, and probably wouldn't help him get promoted to the position of head jobber. Shamrock raced to the ring and a match was prompted, seeing Shamrock get planted early on with an Angle slam!

 

In the shower rooms Scott Steiner was finishing up when Ghrimm walked in looking for his shirt. Steiner shoved Ghrimm, telling him that he was an idiot for walking in on him while he was showering. Ghrimm responded by agreeing with Steiner, saying he could understand why he wouldn't want people knowing about the other freak of nature he was packing. Steiner told Ghrimm he'd see him in the ring. Ghrimm said he wasn't gay.

 

Loopster took on Rockey in a straight one on one match, looking to be in great shape. Commentators Buddy Luv and Stat-Man both agreed that Loopster was the favourite going in to New Years Evil, despite a calculated 50% chance of winning. He had a 100% chance up against Rockey as he absolutely owned him, leveling him with a something factor! He taunted toward the back, and then nailed Rockey with a Loop Pile Driver before scoring the cover. As soon as the bell rang the lights went out quickly, only to come on as Nomad threw Loopster over the top rope! He charged to the commentators table, and slammed him head first into a monitor! With Loopster reeling, Nomad was able to bible black him!

 

Ghrimm made his way to the ring to face Scott Steiner after their little altercation in the shower rooms. Steiner's ferocity proving to be more of a disadvantage than the alternate, seeing the genetic freak utilising a very sloppy attack. After avoiding Steiner's advancements Ghrimm decided to close the gap with the Dro Slam. Steiner was out cold.

 

Backstage the hardcore champion The Rock was heading to his locker room when suddenly the bruised Rockey raced up behind him with a chair!! The Rock dropped with shock from the initial impact, but recovered quickly able to nail Rockey with a spinebuster. It wasn't enough to slow the firecracker down, Rockey striking back with hard rights and lefts. He picked up the chair again and clocked the Rock before hitting a hurracanrana and a pin.

 

On the big screen the phony cop suddenly appeared, speaking with his voice heavily distorted he told Albert Beefcake that the fun was over. He decided that at New Years Evil he would take the direct approach, and unmask himself but only under one condition. If he could face both Albert and Violent J in a national championship match. Albert stormed his way to the ring and grabbed a microphone and told the phony cop that rather than try and track him down, he would humor him and accept his half of the challenge. Albert said that Violent J interestingly enough wasn't present in the arena, so he couldn't vouch for him. The phony cop called Albo a facko - met only with a suspicious "rar". 

 

In no holds barred competition Oozaru and Banging faced off. The two familiar foes were closely matched, but the Grand Slam champ Banging found a dominant role into the match. He dropped Oozaru with a dandy Samoan drop before knocking him flat with a nice crescent kick. Oozaru began to get a second wind, scoring a grueling flatliner! It was academic from there, seeing Oozaru score the come from behind victory with a Lag Buster. Banging lept to his feet, standing face to face with Oozaru. The two stared each other down before heading backstage.

 

Backstage Shane Altmann was standing by with Michael Lucifer. He said that he didn't know what Shawn Michaels was thinking when he attacked him on ICWW: Squared Circle Zone because it only stoked the fire that already burned within his soul. He said that like he had done to so many before, he would raise him high above the ring and rain down upon him with firey vengeance and fury, so that he would know that his angel of end was ready to descend.

 

The Heartbreak Kid made his way to the ring in playful fashion first, but instead of posing in front of his usual fireworks the classic Michael Lucifer wall of fire erupted in the arena. HBK almost jumped out of his boots as Michael Lucifer raced his way to the ring. Michaels met him with harsh boot stomps, but Lucifer managed to overpower him with a Death Valley driver. Lucifer was dominating Michaels as promised until he managed to surprise him with a sweet chin music superkick! Michaels got the quick roll up for the win, fleeing the ring immediately and heading backstage, followed by a furious Michael Lucifer. Both HBK and Lucifer were cut off by Banging and Oozaru wielding chairs as the last ICWW: Aftershock before New Years Evil came to a thunderous crashing end.

ICWW: Civil Action (12/24/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      DECEMBER 24, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action opened to a huge ovation as Buddy Luv welcomed fans to the Christmas even CA. A quick plug for the new ICWW radio show available online was on the agenda, before announcing exciting matches for the night. Loopster and Nomad in a Last Man Standing match, a Tag Team match between Michael Lucifer, Banging, Oozaru and Shawn Michaels, and Albert Beefcake was jacked to face his phony cop suspect, Violent J.

 

The action kicked off with Eric Angle taking the win in a tight match against Rockey. The two duked it out evenly, but it was the Angle Slam that put Eric in front for the win. After the match Eric was joined by his brother Kurt as the proceeding to stomp down on Rockey, declaring themselves the greatest combination to grace ICWW.

 

Backstage Violent J was preparing to address the Juggalo nation which he represented when Albert Beefcake approached him. Albert said that he had his eye on J, and just because he was sure he had something to do with the phony cop. J denied it, saying he was busy as the JCW J-ation champion. Albert warned him that he didn't care what so-called alibi he had, "I'm watching you Violent J baby, rar, if that really is your name!" to which Violent J replied, "It's not, my name is Darren...". Albert let out a rar before heading back to his RSI headquarters.

 

Scott Steiner took on Phenom next in a one on one encounter. Phenom showed evidence of ring rust as he struggled to execute his moves. Steiner was high on the reversals and really turned the match around after a devastating powerbomb. A Steiner stunner was the end of it, seeing him score the cover.

 

Next a battle of the ankle and the angle lock was looking immanent as Jason Shamrock headed into battle at the request of Kurt Angle. It was close quarters seeing the two battle it out with suplexes, both with an impressive belly to belly. It turned out it wouldn't come down to the submission, but instead the wipeout as Shamrock planted Angle with his finishing move and a lateral press for the win. As Angle retreated toward the back he shouted a submission match challenge to Shamrock, which he accepted with a menacing roar.

 

Backstage Michael Lucifer was heading toward his office when Shawn Michaels shouted out to him. Michaels said he had something important he needed to discuss with Lucifer about the match later in the night, and then proceeding to bash Lucifer with a steel pipe he had concealed!! With a referee near by, Michaels prepared to make a cover to take the hardcore championship, when all of a sudden The Rock appeared and began to lay the boot down on Michaels. He dropped him through a near by table with a Rock Bottom, and pinned Lucifer to take the title!

 

The Eurasian champion Nomad made his way to the ring to take on Loopster in a pure grudge match. The two locked up early, eventually spilling to the outside where Loopster looked to show Nomad the meaning of hardcore. Nomad managed to send Loopster through a table with the bible black, but the hardcore sick- one kept coming! Loopster annihilated Nomad with a something-factor onto the exposed floor on the outside, and then went to work with a Singapore cane, lashing Nomad into next week. Back in the ring he propped Nomad on the top turnbuckle and literally shoved him from the top to the outside!! Not satisfied with the beat down already laid, Loopster secured the win by absolutely knocking Nomad out with a Loop Pile Driver. The sick-one celebrated the win and mounted the turnbuckle holding the Eurasian championship high above his head for the crowd to see.

 

Backstage Albert was talking to Oozaru regarding Violent J's position of suspicion. Oozaru wished Albo luck for his match, and headed away to find Shawn Michaels. With Oozaru gone Albert was all alone against a surprise attack from the phony cop! He went to work on Albert with his nightstick. He could be heard calling the Beefer something that sounded a lot like "facko", before fleeing the scene.

 

In the ring Violent J waited for his opponent in Albert, who staggered his way to the ring. The National champion went to work straight away on the Beefer with a vicious Lou Thesz Press. Albert hit hard with a Coco butt, but the JCW champ stunned the Beefer with a stinging jaw breaker. J sent Albo into the turnbuckle and then hooked him up for a tree of woe! The vicious toe kicks sent Albert into next week, but Albert managed to gather himself enough to avoid a Psycho Flip! Instead Albert was disqualified after low blowing J in a lapse of sense. Albert had referee assistance as he staggered his way to the back, still able to say rar and offer a little Beefer Bust.

 

The main event Tag Team match had the room alight with electricity as Michael Lucifer made his explosive entrance first, stalking his way to the ring from behind his infamous wall of fire followed by Banging. Oozaru and Michaels made their way down next, Michaels and Lucifer both looking annoyed after their encounters backstage. Banging and Oozaru started off, going tooth and nail at each other with pure brawling rights and lefts. Oozaru broke it up after stunning Banging and then nailing the Lag Buster! Banging was still able to keep it together, so Oozaru dropped him with a second Lag Buster!! Banging managed to tag into the furious looking Michael Lucifer who grabbed Oozaru by the throat, and planted him into lala land with a devil driver and made the pin! Michaels jumped into the ring only to be knocked back with a boot to the face, and then a chokeslam! Banging held Oozaru at bay with a Kiwi Bomb as ICWW: Civil Action drifted off air, seeing Lucifer and Banging standing tall, whilst eyeing each other.

ICWW: Aftershock (12/19/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      DECEMBER 19, 2002

ICWW: Aftershock kicked off with Rockey taking on Shang Tsung in a one on one match. Rockey was in good shape against the debuting Tsung, taking down the rookie in a tight finish after hitting an Indian powerbomb. After the match Rockey helped Tsung to his feet, as the two made their way backstage.

 

Backstage Oozaru and Albert Beefcake were showing his old friend from Alaska around, when William approached them. Regal said he had heard that there was another RSI case and wanted to offer his services so as to avoid any of his time being wasted as it had been in the last case. Oozaru eyed Regal off suspiciously when suddenly the phony cop attacked all four men in a show of over confidence! He used his nightstick to knock Regal and Albo down, Habib Hernandez helped his close friend whilst Oozaru gave chase after the phony cop.

 

In the ring Kurt Angle took on Scott Steiner in a hardcore match. The two recently returned/joined superstars put on a tough show, Kurt Angle was on the upper foot before too long nailing his opponent with an impressive belly to belly suplex, and then looked for the Angle lock! Scott Steiner survived long enough to fall victim to the Angle Slam.

 

Ghrimm and Jason Shamrock met next in a hardcore match up. Jason Shamrock put it to Ghrimm looking to score the submission win but Ghrimm fought his way out of the hold, heading to the outside looking to raise a little hell with a steel chair! Ghrimm worked on Shamrock's own ankle, hitting a stunner which allowed him to clamp down an ankle lock of his own. Shamrock was unable to escape the hold, and tapped out.

 

Backstage Albert, William and his friend Habib discovered a brutally bashed Oozaru! Oozaru was badly bruised but had a chunk of blue fabric in his hand, likely a piece of material torn from the phony cop's clothing. Albert told his friends that this phony cop had gone far enough, and he was going to ensure that this case be solved.

 

Kurt Angle's brother Eric debuted in a match against the recently dethroned CEO and hardcore champion of ICWW. Michaels made his colourful entrance first, taking an opportunity to address the fans for the first time since his battle with Michael Lucifer at R&R. He said that while the unification between titles would be lifted by the end of the week, and Michael Lucifer had managed to lay low, he wasn't safe until the time was over and he still could feel some heartbreak. Suddenly The Rock's music hit, and The Rock raced to the ring and dropped Michaels with a Rock Bottom! He proceeded to lay the boot down on, resulting Shawn Michaels being stretchered to the back.

 

Backstage Albert Beefcake had managed to find Michael Lucifer, Lucifer looked ready to lock up with the Beefer, but Albert stopped the owner of ICWW from attacking him. Albert demanded that Lucifer help track down the phony cop. Michael Lucifer said it was none of his concern and that Albert should deal with it himself. Albo continued to press the point, eventually convincing Lucifer to set a bounty of a heavyweight title shot.

 

Rhyno made his first official ICWW appearance on a day of debuts against Grand Slam champion - Banging. Rhyno proved himself a worthy foe really pressing at Banging hard, using his clear size advantage to press the advantage. Banging was able to put to use his experience however narrowly averting certain doom at the hands of Rhyno's Gore attack, but instead managed to finish the match with a Kiwi Bomb!

 

Loopster made his way to the ring next taking the mic to send a few words to Nomad. He said that it was a grossly easy win on Civil Action, and now it was time that he relieve Nomad of his title so that it might still have some credibility and integrity injected into it. Nomad raced to the ring to face Loopster in a one on one for the Eurasian title. The match didn't last long; Loopster on the disqualification end of a steel chair shot! Loopster used the chair to absolutely annihilate the Eurasian champion before jumping back on the mic. He said that he was not a joke, and everyone had better be a little more careful because he was hardcore 24/7.

 

In the main event a bruised Oozaru braved his battle injuries to face the National champion Violent J in a scheduled event. The former Tag champ looked to score a little revenge against Oozaru for stealing his title, but had little success. It was hard to tell Oozaru had been injured as he took it the National/JCW champion. After hitting a nice flatliner, Oozaru had the victory laid out for him. After a lag buster it was all over. Violent J was out cold as AS came to an end.

ICWW: Civil Action (12/17/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      DECEMBER 17, 2002

After the week's break the crowd was wild about the return of ICWW at Civil Action. A brief recap on ICWW: Revolution and Retribution, namely Michael Lucifer recapturing his position as CEO, and then the number one contender gauntlet match in which Banging ploughed through an incredible four superstars.

 

Shawn Michaels made his way out to the ring next and announced that he lost his position, and said he wasn't even that fussed about losing the hardcore title. Michaels smiled and said, although Michael Lucifer hadn't arrived in the arena, he'd be finding out that his last act as CEO was to temporary unify the hardcore and heavyweight titles after the match at ICWW: R&R. He said Lucifer was going to have more than paper work to worry about now.

 

Rockey and Billy Kidman went head to head in a brief encounter next, Kidman ending the bout quickly by bringing a chair into the ring and nailing Rockey, getting disqualified. Rockey was able to compose himself before heading to the back.

 

Backstage Loopster approached Lord Nomad and told him that he was a joke. Loopster asked Nomad what the hell was with his lame title, and that he had checked the calendar and couldn't find Eurasiana anywhere! Loopster got in the champs face even further, saying that he had a special Christmas list. First he was going to kick Nomad's ass, and then he was going to take his phony title. Loopster then told Nomad he'd have to kick his ass a second time, because the first time he never takes names. Nomad dumped the contents of a buffet on Loopster.

 

RSI Albert Beefcake teamed with new comer Scott Steiner next in a match against the recently crowned Tag Team champions, Pagan Freak and Oozaru. The lethal lottery winners looked good early on, co-operating until Oozaru refused to leave the ring, locking horns with the Bear-Whale Albert! The two tagged out allowing their partners to take the match, Pagan Freak eventually falling victim to a devastating powerbomb from Steiner! The match ended with Steiner nailing Oozaru with a stunner, and a sturdy pin. After the match Albert approached Oozaru looking rather serious. What was discussed is unknown, but it ended with a quick handshake.

 

Loopster and Nomad faced off next in one on one competition, this being Loopster's second ICWW match up. It didn't last very long, Loopster really showed off his hardcore skills against the Eurasian champion, bludgeoning him savagely with a steel chair, and a trash can! Nomad went down to a strong pin fall, but wasn't finished. Nomad used his scythe to attack Loopster, laying a beat down in the corner, leaving Loopster with a lesson.

 

Backstage Violent J was with Shane Altmann for an interview regarding the National championship. J first of all wanted to tell fans that Marz was a jerk off, and he was glad he left him because he was holding him back. J said his J-tional championship was better than any other title in the promotion, and he was happy to represent the J-ation of the juggalos and juggalettes out there without his nancy 'queen' Marz!

 

A returned Kurt Angle prepared to face off against a debuting Noob Saibot. The black ninja squared off for the first time in ICWW, dropping Angle quickly with a stiff neck breaker. Angle was on the assault next however brutally attacking his opponent with suplexed. Saibot leapt out of the ring and fled to the back, being counted out.

 

Michael Lucifer arrived in the arena looking pissed as he carried a sheet of paper and an envelope, clearly the unification orders. Loopster who happened to be backstage raced to attack Lucifer for his heavyweight/hardcore championship, but the disgruntled CEO dropped him with a big boot and continued his march to the ring. Michael Lucifer jumped on a microphone and called Shawn Michaels out, but instead Banging raced to the ring!  The bell sounded as the two duked it out furiously with rights and lefts before Michael Lucifer gained the upper hand. He planted a big leg drop on Banging, but was soon taken down with a frightening Samoan drop! Michael Lucifer ended the encounter with a devil driver and a pin fall, but suddenly Shawn Michaels raced to the ring and nailed Lucifer in the head with a sledge hammer!! Shawn Michaels pummled Lucifer as Civil Action went off the air.

Pagan Freak was in fine form, finishing off Nomad with a rather outstanding Tornado Kick, despite being nailed with a chokeslam. Loopster made his way to the ring to take on Pagan Freak in what turned out to be quite a tight encounter, Loopster went for a loop piledriver but Pagan Freak rolled with it into a cover, Loopster rolled over that and got the pin fall prompting Banging to race to the ring. Banging who was allegedly on hiatus from ICWW made his presence felt after nailing the Kiwi Bomb and scoring the pin over Loopster. The gasps could be heard as Oozaru thundered his way to the ring next, really taking it to Banging. He sent Banging into the ropes, but Banging managed to reverse the attack nailing another Kiwi Bomb and scoring the pin over him! Oozaru was furious as Albert Beefcake raced to the ring, only to get booted down by the passing Oozaru! Albert regained his composure only to enter the ring and get hit with a Kiwi Bomb!!! The last contestant made his way to the ring, it was X-3-M! Banging was jakked, sending X-3-M to lala land next week! Banging offered X-3-M the finger, and then a Kiwi bomb!

Silver Snake had not been seen in ICWW for quite some time, but made his way to the ring with quite a positive response! The match got off to a fairly fast paced start seeing Silver Snake strike hard with a stinging headbutt! Nomad recovered sending Silver Snake into the ropes and nailed him with a running DDT! Silver Snake returned the favour sending Nomad into the ropes and hitting a bulldog! Silver Snake dropped Nomad with a hip toss, and a hard knee drop. Nomad looked to get in a kick, but the Snake caught it and sent him flying! Silver Snake pulled out the big guns and hit a stunner! He reached out being the first to go for a tag, but Nomad jerked him back with the strap! Nomad struck SS in the stomach with his scythe shaft, and tagged a turnbuckle. Silver Snake was unable to get to his feet, allowing Nomad to tag a second turnbuckle, but not a third! Silver charged with a spear, and hooked up to drop Nomad with a piledriver, only to be on the slam end of a back body drop! Nomad tagged a third turnbuckle, but while he was doing so Silver Snake tagged a turnbuckle of his own! When the push came to shove Nomad got dirty, using his scythe staff once more to nail Silver Snake and tag his final turnbuckle for a successful defense.

Backstage Oozaru, Pagan Freak and Violent J were gathered before CEO Shawn Michaels. He told Violent J that because Marz had abandoned him he had the option to either forfeit the match, or fight alone. Violent J considered the options, before Michaels advised him it was in his best interest that he suggest he relinquish the Tag titles, and offered him a National Championship shot as substitute. Violent J agreed and handed over both Tag Team championships to Oozaru and Pagan Freak.

MMAF Sanctioned Cage match

Jason Shamrock d. Tito Ortiz

In the MMAF arena Shane Altmann was on stand by for the long awaited cage match which would finally put an end to the grudge war initiated by the beach town bad ass, Tito Ortiz. Highlights of their encounters were shown as Altmann informed us that another confrontation had occurred during a training session at the ICWW arena. Ortiz appeared and assaulted Shamrock while stretching in the empty ring, knocking him up fairly roughly. The prep-talk ended as Jason Shamrock made his way to the ring clearly in the zone. Ortiz paraded in next met with an undertone of heavy boos. The two were sealed in the cage as the match got underway. The circled each other stalking before Ortiz went on the charge, only to get slammed face first into the ring, Shamrock looking like a class bull fighter! Shamrock took the opportunity to double back and clamp down his ankle lock! Ortiz struggled with the hold, swinging wildly with his free foot eventually forcing Shamrock to try something new. Ortiz looked to be in trouble, but lured Shamrock in allowing him to hammer hard with savage elbows that busted Shamrock open! Shamrock capitalised on the ankle with a nice Thai kick, and this time marked down with an arm bar. There was no competition, Ortiz had no choice but to tap out to the submission supremacist!

No Holds Barred match for the Vacant National title

Violent J d. Albert Beefcake

Albert Beefcake strutted his way to the ring to a huge ovation offering fans a little Beefer-Bust in the ring before getting a little serious. J raced to the ring and went straight to work dropping Albo with a neck breaker. Albert was on vacation after J followed up with a violent DDT! Violent J looked to go up stairs and flew across the ring with an insane Van Daminator!! J whipped out his JCW title, but Albert booted it right back. Albo followed up with a Death Valley driver, and stunned J with a low blow. Albert stopped to share a little love with the crowd, only to get caught from behind with a German suplex! Albert recovered, sending Violent J into the ropes and then hit the Albo Bomb!! He stopped to rar the crowd once more, only to get nailed with the Psycho Flip, and then a skilled pin!! Violent J grabbed his National title and began chanting JCW as he raced backstage. Albert had a little dance left in him, before he was attacked again by the phony cop!! Albert tried to grab the cop before he escaped the ring, but only managed to pull down the cops trousers and see his red underpants. The cop raced through the crowd maybe a little embarrassed, but still free to cause more trouble. Albert stared out scornfully before heading backstage.

Casket match to name ICWW's CEO

With the Heavyweight and Hardcore titles on the line

Michael Lucifer (c) d. Shawn Michaels (c)

The tension could be cut with a wooden spoon as Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring in this high stakes match up. There was an unusual tone of seriousness about Michaels as he awaited his opponent from behind the wall of fire. Lucifer was focused on Michaels as he made his way to the ring. He slowly disrobed, staring down the acting CEO and hardcore champion. The two stared each other down as the bell was sounded. Lucifer went on the attack first looking for a DDT, but Michaels slipped out and reversed the attack. Michaels wrenched down with a neck breaker on the heavyweight champ, but it wasn't enough to stop him planting HBK with a gut wrench powerbomb! Lucifer whipped Michaels into the ropes, and used a nearby camera man to nail Michaels! Michaels looked for a low blow, but Lucifer gave him a boot to the face for his troubles, avoiding the painful move. Lucifer went to the outside and retrieved a chair before returning to the ring and bending it right over Shawn Michaels' skull! With Michaels stunned, Lucifer hoisted him up and nailed a Death Valley Driver! Michaels grabbed a hold of the chair, and tried to hammer it at the heavyweight champion but had it kicked right back at him. Lucifer opened the casket at ringside and stared down. Lucifer picked Michaels up and slammed him right back down with a Devil Driver, but HBK wasn't out yet! In an amazing feat of strength he dropped Lucifer with his own finisher! He lept right back up though and nailed another Devil Driver! He dragged Michaels by the hair and threw him in the casket before slamming the lid closed. Lucifer rolled out of the ring and locked the casket closed with Michaels inside, and then hooked it to a crane apparatus and hoisted it high above the ring, before rolling back in and posing like HBK mockingly as ICWW: R&R went off the air!

ICWW: Aftershock (12/06/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      DECEMBER 06, 2002

The crowd was electric as Buddy Luv introduced his partner for the evening, Stat-Man, returning from injury. The two recapped on Civil Action where Michael Lucifer made some threats regarding being taken seriously, the mysterious police imposter who had been making attacks, and of course the Lethal Lottery to determine tag contenders.

 

The show kicked off with the second lethal lottery match seeing Chris Benoit in his first match in ICWW since leaving after ICWW: One Night Only, and Pagan Freak and Albert Beefcake getting second chances. The match was fairly tight, until Jason Shamrock became the focus of a triple team effort, which saw him eliminated first. Chris Benoit pinned Albert next but the referee did not see it, allowing Albert to roll Benoit up quickly and eliminate him. But it would be Pagan Freak that would take the Beefer down in the end. The phony cop raced to the ring and nailed Pagan Freak from behind, prompting Albert to take chase after the offender. The two ended up in the parking lot until Albert slipped on a puddle, allowing the phony cop to escape into the shadows. Albert whipped out a pad to take some notes and say "rar".

 

Rockey made his way to the ring in an unexpected moment, saying that while he was happy for his partner Pagan Freak he didn't like the fact he wasn't with him in the Tag Team title shot. Oozaru who had joined the commentary team for the Lethal Lottery was prompted into the ring as Rockey challenged him to a little one one one. Oozaru proved himself in arms as he nailed Rockey with the Lag Buster and finished the confrontation up quickly with a pin.

 

Backstage Michael Lucifer was heading to the locker rooms with his heavyweight championship when Patrick Mannion strutted up to him and started telling him that he was a joke of a champion. Lucifer glanced at Mannion and moved slowly to him. Lucifer grabbed Mannion by the throat and told him that there would be a sacrifice on Aftershock and he should tread carefully, because it might very well be him. As Lucifer left Mannion said, "we'll see!"

 

A promo for the ICWW awards featured next seeing a creative montage of clips including some of the nominated entrances, superstars and super slams of the year! Commentator Stat-Man said he'd be overseeing the ballot collecting and making sure that the votes were fair. Buddy Luv speculated that one of the secret awards may be for Super heroes!

 

Michael Lucifer and Patrick Mannion met next in no holds barred competition. Michael Lucifer looked to be large and in charge, dropping Mannion with a Death Valley Driver and reversing or blocking most moves. Mannion produced a 9 iron golf club and absolutely wiped out the unprepared champion, busting him open and getting the win. Mannion celebrated his win over the heavyweight champ, which earned him a chokeslam as Lucifer stormed backstage.

 

Backstage Violent J burst into Marz' change room and told him he had figured out what Marz' problem was. He said he kept getting his ass whipped by Mick Lucifer and was generally sucking in the ring, blaming his losses on silly things and calling Lucifer a cheat. The 'JCW champion' told Marz that he had been watching Oprah and discovered that if Marz redirected that negative energy into positive training he could beat Michael Lucifer! Marz stared at his fellow Tag Team champion and told him that he was going to redirect his energy into kicking J's ass later in the night and walked out. Violent J stuck his head out the door and shouted, "Sure I'd love to help you train buddy!"

 

The Eurasian championship went on the line next as the first ever ICWW Grand Slam champion defended the belt against surprise challenger, Lord Nomad. The two dueled closely early on before Nomad got the upper hand when he planted the Grand Slam champ with the Bible Black! After absolutely wiping Banging out with a sledge hammer Nomad got the cover, but didn't stop there! He continued the attack, isolating the knee of Banging before heading backstage. Banging had to be assisted out of the ring to the backstage area, clearly in a serious amount of pain.

 

In the main event Team Extreme faced off in a hardcore match which was a fact that must've escaped Violent J's attention. The two tied up initially, Violent J utilising a small neck breaker before whipping Marz around the ring. Marz began his offensive attacking his partner with a fierce flapjack, and then pulled out a weapon! Marz shocked his partner with a tazer, before finishing him off with a devastating Spiral Bomb! Violent J was stunned out of his socks as Marz got the cover and a second Spiral Bomb for good measure! Suddenly the lights went out and a flaming crucifix began to descend from the ceiling!!! When the lights came back on Michael Lucifer hammered Marz with a clothesline, and then a back heel kick! The new CEO Shawn Michaels raced to the ring once more, and joined the fray seeing a triple team attack after Violent J recovered! The three tied Lucifer to the the crucifix and raised it in the air as ICWW Aftershock came to a shocking conclusion!!! Remember to vote in the ICWW awards!

ICWW: Civil Action (12/03/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      DECEMBER 03, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action opened with the CEO and hardcore champion Shawn Michaels making his way to the ring. He showed the footage from Michael Lucifer's win last week and pointed out that Lucifer had cheated by hiding Marz grabbing the ropes from the referee, and for that reason he would give Marz a rematch.

 

Phenom made his way to the ring for his clash against The Game and waited for his opponent to make his way to the ring, only to be met with nothing more than entrance music. Backstage the Game was fending off a savage nightstick baton attack from someone dressed in a police uniform! The attacker wore a tinted helmet, and fled the scene when Albert Beefcake raced in. The Game was left bruised but okay.

 

Backstage Shawn Michaels was sitting with his feet up in his office discussing business decisions with interviewer Shane Altmann. The Heartbreak Kid mentioned that he had already made some appropriate changes to the website ICWW.cjb.net by adding a beautiful banner, and said he was considering a new championship title. He declared an HBK title would be a nice addition, and then he suggested a name changed to SMWW. Altmann asked what the S and M stood for with a smirk, Michaels ordered Altmann out laughing heartily.

 

Buddy Luv next had the pleasure of announcing a first timer in ICWW, former HCWL hardcore champion - The Deputy. The Deputy was a close friend of Luv, and had recently signed a conditional contract with Michaels in ICWW. Up against Lord Nomad in a hardcore match the Deputy looked to have some ring rust, finding himself on the receiving end of several reversals and a devastating DDT. The match began to turn when the Deputy crunched down on the Nomad with a neck breaker and a sneaky low blow! Nomad recovered, and planted his foe with the bible black his trademark! The Deputy shook it off somehow, and dropped Nomad with a modified chokeslam! The sentence was clear from there, the Deputy sent his stunned opponent into the ropes and got the school boy.

 

Backstage Shane Altmann had heavyweight champion Michael Lucifer with him who declared that he did not like the way Shawn Michaels was treating his company. He said the day ICWW was renamed SMWW would be the same day etched into Michaels' tombstone. Lucifer said if he wasn't taken more serious someone would find themselves falling from grace, and being a sacrifice for the sake of all ICWW is.

 

After the chilling words from former CEO Michael Lucifer, Superfly made his exciting return to ICWW. Up against former Eurasian champion Jason Shamrock the Superfly was looking to be in fly shape despite absence. Superfly planted Shamrock with a Lou Thesz press, but Shamrock rolled over sending the fly one into next week with stinging rights and lefts. Superfly bought himself some time with a low blow sending Shamrock rolling to the outside. The silver lining for Shamrock appeared in the form of a cool steel chair which he plastered Superfly with! The stunned Superfly managed to slip in with a Stunner and a killer Rock Bottom! Superfly hit another Stunner for good measure and covered Shamrock for the win. Suddenly Tito Ortiz jumped the rail, racing out from the crowd and throwing Superfly out of the ring! Shamrock was on the receiving end of a sharp elbow attack from Ortiz initiated with a Thai kick. Shamrock was reeling as Ortiz disappeared in the crowd.

 

Backstage Marz was psyching himself up for his match against Michael Lucifer when Violent J entered. He said the first of their opponents for the Tag Titles was going to be determined in the lottery next. Marz told Violent J he didn't give a damn about the Tag Team championship, and certainly didn't care about Violent J. J looked at Marz puzzled and reminded him that he was one half of the Tag Team champions. Marz moved slowly stopping an inch from J's face and simply said, "bigger fish to fry" and walked out. Violent J looked at his JCW title for answers, and then looked out the door and said, "but you're allergic to fish".

 

The lethal lottery was up next introducing Pagan Freak, Shivan Dragon, Albert Beefcake and Oozaru. Shivan Dragon was the first to be eliminated, second was Pagan Freak the second to fall as the match came down to a heated match between Oozaru and Albert Beefcake. Oozaru was looking for revenge for what he called a screw job at ICWW: Panic Attack in the hardcore title match. Oozaru got his revenge after nailing the Lag Buster. The masked police officer raced to the ring looking to take down the Beefer, but Oozaru cut him off nailing him with a flatliner. The phony cop rolled to the outside, and made a quick get away around the screen and toward the back.

 

Next the one on one rematch of Michael Lucifer and current Tag Team champion Marz went underway. The two squared up, Marz attacking brutally with a Lou Thesz press slapping the heavyweight champ silly. The two got to their feet once more, Marz managing to counter Michael Lucifer's attempt at a neck breaker! Marz sent the champ into the ropes and dropped him with a superb flapjack, sending Lucifer into next week! Marz then hooked up looking for a big powerbomb, but Lucifer powered out of it reversing the move furiously. He then unleashed his fury, busting Marz wide open with a strong series of boxing blows. Marz hit Lucifer with his finishing Spiral Bomb which all but had him out cold, when Lucifer rolled to the outside and returned with a chair - using it as a lethal weapon against the challenger! The referee rang for the bell, but Lucifer continued the attack. Violent J raced to the ring to make the save but was missed with his JCW title, instead landing square in Marz! Shawn Michaels raced to the ring and caught Lucifer surprised with a sweet chin music!! The CEO HBK stood tall over the human wreckage as ICWW came to an impact finish!
