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!
