ICWW: Aftershock (11/29/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      NOVEMBER 29, 2002

ICWW: Aftershock opened with Marz arriving to the arena after the rolling theme. Marz was approached by Violent J who wished his fellow Tag champion a happy birthday. Marz shoved Violent J aside into a wall and J responded by telling Marz he wasn't so sure he liked him anymore. He was upset that Marz had been pushing him around, and even claimed his JCW title wasn't even real! He said Marz better be a little nicer in future. Marz turned and got in J's face and told him that if he didn't leave him alone, he wouldn't have a future.

 

The commentators welcomed fans to ICWW: Aftershock, the show still alive now under the rule of Shawn Michaels. Buddy Luv and Albert Beefcake briefly discussed the situation revolving around the recent Michaels/Lucifer angle, as well as touching on some matches. The heavyweight title rematch between Michael Lucifer and Marz, and Albert's second match against Banging in his quest to regain the Eurasian championship title.

 

A new hopeful prospect for ICWW entered the ring for the first time in X-3-M, the Extreme one himself. He was set to take on Patrick Mannion in a one on one encounter with no special stipulations. It was X-3-M that got off to a good start, taking Mannion down with a Lou Thesz press. Mannion got back to his feet and dropped the rookie with a DDT, but X-3-M retaliated with another Lou Thesz press. With Mannion down Mr. Extreme went to the outside retrieving a chair, he plastered Mannion with the weapon finding himself disqualified. The naturally extreme superstar looked shocked for a moment, but confidently strolled his way to the back.

 

Backstage in his office newly appointed CEO of ICWW Shawn Michaels was lounging around shining his hardcore championship belt. He was telling interviewer Shane Altmann that now he was the CEO of the promotion no one dared touch him or his belt, Shane then asked if he could touch him. Michaels told the sick freak to get out of his office and turned the camera to him. He said he is the show stopper and he was going to defeat Mick Lucifer in the casket match at R and R. He said Michael Lucifer had as much chance to win the match, as Albert Beefcake did going completely bald. Michaels asked off camera if Bear-Whales malt as we returned to action.

 

The aforementioned superstar Albert Beefcake made his way to the ring for his match against current ICWW Eurasian champion, and Grand Slam superstar. Suddenly from the crowd a security guard faced to the ring and began brutally attacking the Beefer. It was the Game in disguise!! He grabbed a microphone and shouted at Albo that he was the game, and Albert had made a big mistake messing with him last week on Aftershock. His final words for Albert were, "it's all about the game, and how you play it" before laughing and heading backstage.

 

Oozaru and Violent J made their way to the ring for one on one competition. Oozaru went in hard from the start with a strong offensive of DDT, flapjack, rights and lefts. It all came down to the lag buster, which sent Violent J into a completely different world, Oozaru scored the pin fall. Oozaru pointed to himself and made a belt motion before leaving.

 

Backstage Jason Shamrock was standing by with Shane Altmann, Altmann asked why Shamrock had requested the submission match on Aftershock against Lord Nomad. Shamrock said he felt that there were unresolved issues surrounding the battle between Nomad and Shamrock. He said that he had fallen victim to Nomad's hold a few weeks ago, and he had to make up for that. He said his technical skills and training were second to none, and tonight he would prove that he was king of the ring, and king of the world by defeating the first of many.

 

Shamrock looked pumped as he made his intense entrance to the ring. The two squared off, Nomad looking a little stiff perhaps from his table match with Trell still, and earlier in the week his match with Oozaru. Nomad and Shamrock locked up, Nomad scoring the bulldog takedown to start. Shamrock took Nomad down with a DDT, and a Lou Thesz press. Shamrock hooked up and dropped Nomad once more, this time locking up with an STF forcing Nomad to tap out! Shamrock kicked Nomad all the way out of the ring, and stood in the center yelling clearly in his zone! Suddenly out of nowhere Tito Ortiz raced down from the back, and brutally attacked Shamrock from behind with a devastating elbow strike to the head! Otriz headed back looking down at the bleeding Shamrock smugly from the ramp.

 

The heavyweight championship went on the line next as Marz got his rematch with Michael Lucifer unmasked. Michael Lucifer made his way to the ring first taking hold of a mic., he said that he hoped Michaels was watching because he was going to show him exactly what it means to oppose Michael Lucifer. Marz jumped in and Lucifer began using the microphone as the match began. Marz went into the ropes and took Lucifer down with a Lou Thesz press, but Lucifer retaliated with a nice neck breaker. Michael looked for an atomic drop, but Marz managed to reverse the move, stunning the heavyweight champion. Marz went on the attack with another Lou Thesz press but Lucifer regained his composure, rolling with it and laying into the challenger with rights and lefts. Back up Lucifer knocked him back down with a stinging right, left combo and then an elbow drop. Marz looked for the Lou Thesz press once more, but was caught my Lucifer with an elbow reeling back. The champ applied a dragon sleeper wrenching down on Marz, but Marz reached the ropes! Lucifer made sure he kept the referee out of sight, scoring the submission win. Marz blasted the referee only to be caught and slammed by Lucifer with a chokeslam as Aftershock went off air.

ICWW: Civil Action (11/26/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      NOVEMBER 26, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action opened to highlights of the Panic Room triple threat matches seen at ICWW: Panic Attack. The match featured Violent J and Marz, seeing Michael Lucifer become the new heavyweight champion. The footage of Michael Lucifer revealing himself to be disguised as his brother was confronted with the shocking news that he was unable to save ICWW, and that it would be closed due to lack of an appropriate CEO.

 

Marz spoke about the Panic Room next in a special interview saying he thought some of Michael Lucifer's tactics were a little underhanded, and while he had come to terms with the loss he wasn't happy about it. He said he hoped to get his hands on Michael Lucifer sometime in the near future.

 

Buddy Luv welcomed fans to the closing ceremonial episode of ICWW: Civil Action. Buddy Luv discussed some of his personal highlights and favourite moments in ICWW, deciding that Dead Or Alive II when Michael Lucifer vacated the heavyweight championship was probably his favourite moment. Footage of the infamous double screw job was shown, Luv adding just how great it was when Lucifer stood with the title in hand.

 

The current Eurasian champion Banging made his way to the ring to face off against former champ of Eurasia, Albert Beefcake. The match was relatively quick, apparently proving Albert's coco butts weren't enough to stop the rampaging Grand Slam champion. The Beefer fell victim to a Kiwi Bomb, and a pin.

 

Banging was then interviewed about his victory at ICWW: Panic Attack over The Rock and Jason Shamrock. He said it was definitely one of his favourite ICWW moments, being that it made him the very first Grand Slam champion. He said his next goal is to take back the heavyweight championship, but he'd take each step as it comes.

 

Lord Nomad and Oozaru met in the final match in ICWW history with no holds barred conditions. The two faced off closely, Oozaru getting the initial upper hand and setting up to hit the Lag Buster! Nomad fought back with fierce tenacity to hit both the Bible Black, and then the Mail Bomb for a cover.

 

Michael Lucifer entered the ring in the final segment beginning with an apology to the fans of ICWW. He said over the course of ICWW he had always done what was right for him, because it was right for the ICWW fans. This time his plans backfired, and for that he was deeply sorry. The former ICWW CEO was cut off by the familiar music of the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels. Michaels said they couldn't close ICWW without the fans seeing the Heartbeak Kid one last time. He then proceeded to tell both Michael Lucifer and the fans that they couldn't close ICWW at all. He then appointed himself CEO of ICWW thanks to the board. You can hear what he had to say here. ICWW: Civil Action closed with a stunned Michael Lucifer watching HBK dance his way up the ramp.

Banging d. Albert Beefcake
No Holds Barred - Lord Nomad d. Oozaru

Special mention:

As the acting ICWW CEO, hardcore champ, reigning MMAF kumite champ, and current number one contender Michaels may've just become the hottest thing in wrestling today!

ICWW: Panic Attack

November 24th - ICWW: Panic Attack               For the last time the patrons will march down the ramp. For the last time the battles lines will be drawn. For the last time the champions will be crowned. For the last time there will be a winner, and losers. For the last time there will be - ICWW...

The crowd was electric as ICWW: Panic Attack opened to a standing ovation. Commentators Buddy Luv, El Tripilacho, Albert Beefcake and Maaki welcomed fans to the capacity packed final event for ICWW at this point in time. Emotionally the four reflected on recent ICWW history and summed up some of the nights upcoming matches. Fans could expect the return of Jeff Hardy in Tito Ortiz' debut match, a huge hardcore title match, Trell and Nomad would finally have their table match show down, The Panic Room plus Banging would try to become the only ICWW Grandslam champion!

 

A video from Rockey was played next. The superstar said although he was unable to be at ICWW: Panic Attack because he was away on business he wanted to wish everyone luck for the big event. He said even though ICWW was closing his colours would always be the orange, the grey, the marone or whatever of ICWW. He said ICWW is the one for him, it's the one for everyone. It's the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be, it's number one and he's going to miss it. The crowd roared at Rockey's speech.
 

No Disqualifications match
Tito Ortiz d. Jeff Hardy

New comer Tito Ortiz made his way to the ring to face returned veteran and former member of Team Extreme - Jeff Hardy. Ortiz got off to a good start taking Hardy down with a press and hammering in hard with rights and lefts before Hardy dropped him with a hard DDT. With the pace quickened Hardy followed up with an amazing flying VanDaminator which leveled Ortiz.
Hardy pulled him up once more, but got caught with a nice slamming flapjack. Hardy went to the outside looking to capitalise on the no disqualifications situation with a ladder. Ortiz was ready for it though, slamming the ladder right back at Hardy. Ortiz shocked with a normally illegal low blow, but Hardy bounced back nicely with a sweeping trip which sent Ortiz into the ladder.
Ortiz retaliated with another low blow and then charged with a frightening elbow combo.
Hardy recovered, and knocked his opponent down in time to go upstairs and nail the Swanton!
The damage done effected Hardy more so, allowing Ortiz to climb over for the close cover.
Ortiz mounted the turnbuckle and taunted the crowd.
 

Ironize d. Fire Storm

In another special match IWWF superstar Fire Storm took on formerly black listed ICWW superstar Ironize in regular rules competition. Ironize was on the offensive straight away dropping his opponent with two wrenching neck breakers. He followed up with a familiar flapjack which dazed Fire Storm enough for him to absolutely wipe him out with a single arm DDT. Fire Storm had taken enough, as he raced out of the ring and to the backstage.
Ironize celebrated in the ring with the count out victory.
 

Fatal Fourway Hardcore championship match
Shawn Michaels d. Albert Beefcake (c), Oozaru & Patrick Mannion
Albert Beefcake left his position at the announcers table to defend his recently won hardcore championship. Superfly then joined the team at the desk for special comments. He said he would've liked to have had a match, but was unable to compete on the night.
Albert Beefcake opened the match with a sturdy head butt which sent Patrick Mannion reeling.
Michaels looked to join the fray with a neck breaker, but Mannion composed himself in time to reverse the move. Albert took advantage and nailed Mannion with his trademark Coco Butt, seeing Oozaru add the exclamation point with a hard clothesline! Mannion got to his feet and slammed Oozaru with a desperation jaw breaker. Only to be dropped once again by Albert with another head butt. The Bear-whale followed up with a crushing leg drop, and was able to reverse Oozaru's attempt to nail him with the Flatliner. Oozaru hit Albert with a Lag Buster but Michaels took him out from behind with a steel chair. Michaels flattened the champion and pinned him to become an eight-time ICWW hardcore champion.
 

The crowd went wild as backstage Shane Altmann interviewed The Rock. He asked the Rock how he expected to fair in the match considering the crushing defeat he had felt at ICWW: One Night Only when he originally lost the title. The Rock said that didn't matter anymore, because he was going to become a two-time Eurasian champion right there tonight in front of the millions of fans. The Rock said he didn't care about Banging and his Grandslam aspirations, he didn't care about Shamrock and his F4 aternative sideburn attitude. All the Rock cared about was winning.

 

Triple Threat Eurasian championship match
Banging d. The Rock & Jason Shamrock (c)
The match began with Shamrock going straight for his enemy The Rock with a DDT, but the Rock was quick enough to evade the move and nail his own! Rock turned to former heavyweight champion Banging and nailed him with a rather jealous flapjack, taunting his fallen opponent. Shamrock nailed the Rock from behind with an axe handle smash and then clamped down the ankle lock submission on Banging. The Referee reached a five count before Banging was able to slip out of the hold, but The Rock swiped Shamrock out of the way and dropped Banging with a punishing piledriver! Shamrock spun Rock around, but was planted with a huge powerbomb. Shamrock sent Rock into the ropes and dropped him with a Samoan drop. Shamrock followed up with his finishing Alternate F4 when Banging suddenly sprang at Shamrock, tossing him out of the ring. Banging hit the Kiwi Bomb and covered The Rock. The Rock broke down with one of his familiar tantrums while Banging strutted away smugly the only ever ICWW champion to have held all of the championship belts! Shamrock got some revenge however, clamping down on the whining Rock with an Ankle Lock!

There was electricity in the air as fans prepared to see a long awaited match. A table match between two knights of the table match - Trell and Nomad. First Chris Benoit appeared on the monitor sending his fond wishes to ICWW. He said despite anything that may've happened ICWW was a fun place to work, and he was sorry there were no matches for him. 

Table National championship match
Trell d. Lord Nomad (c)
Nomad and Trell made their ways to the ring to a huge ovation. The two stared at each other coldly before Nomad went on the attack with a bulldog. Trell was on his feet straight away, charging at the National champion with a Lou Thesz press. Trell took his opponent down with a flapjack, but Nomad was on the front foot again this time with a high crescent kick. The two squared off once more before Trell hit a crescent kick of his own! Nomad had clearly had enough, rolling to the outside and brandishing a steel chair. He grinned at Trell as he rolled back in and plastered his skull with the chair! Nomad taunted his fallen foe, only to get stung with not one, but three rapid low blow shots! Nomad recovered surprisingly fast, able to hit his trademark Bible Black maneuver. With Trell down he took the time to roll outside and bring a table into the ring. Nomad began to taunt, before Trell surprised him and sent him into the ropes. Nomad grabbed onto the ropes, and grabbed Trell by the neck looking for a modified chokeslam. Trell kicked out of it and sent Nomad into the ropes once more, this time hitting the Glass Prison! Trell picked him up and repeated the move, before finishing him off with the steel chair. Trell looked to set up the table, but Nomad stopped him! Nomad used the chair to stagger Trell, before he sent him into the ropes and hit a third Glass Prison! Trell hit Nomad with the chair once again for good measure busting him wide open, but Nomad stopped him setting the table again! Trell fought the Nomad back with a chair, and finally set the table and drove his opponent through with an  onslaught move of devastatingly epic proportions. Trell climbed the turnbuckle with the ICWW National championship and shouted 'King of the Tables' before heading back.

An ICWW highlights montage was shown sending commentator Albert Beefcake into a blubbering state of perpetual crying. He said he had started in IWWF, got his break in IWWE but ICWW was what he was and that it would always be the yellowist of the rar feds. 

Panic Room Heavyweight championship match
Michael Lucifer [Abel] d. Marz & Violent J
The steel cage was lowered next as the Panic Room was ready to begin. Inside the cage stood a casket, a ladder, a table before the ropes were ignited in flame. Team Extreme snarled at each other before Abel Lucifer made his explosive entrance. Abel was met with a barrage of boos from the crowd, Abel being the man responsible for the closing of ICWW.
The bell sounded and the match was underway seeing Marz attack his fellow Tag Team champion with a Lou Thesz press. Violent J got to his feet and flew at Marz dropping him with a stiff neck breaker. Abel entered the match, attacking Marz with a punch combination which sent him back to the mat. He looked for a big leg drop, but Marz rolled out of the way. Violent J tried to capitalise on the distraction, flying at Abel with a VanDaminator from the top rope. Abel was able to catch his opponent however, and drive him spine first into the turnbuckle. He turned his attention back to Marz, dropping him with a gut wrench powerbomb. Marz pulled out his infamous taser and lunged at the new CEO, but had the stunning weapon pushed back at him sending x volts through his body. Abel attacked one of the camera men enclosed in the cage cell and grabbed his camera, driving it into the forehead of J. Abel Lucifer sent Violent J into the ropes and dropped him with a Devil Driver. Marz made the save, nailing Lucifer with a monstrous Spiral Bomb! Abel recovered and tossed Marz into the cage and nailed Violent J with yet another devil driver! Abel Lucifer slammed Marz with a powerbomb, and then rolled him into the casket before closing it and scoring the win.

 

As the cage raised Abel took a microphone and ripped off his mask. He announced that their hero had arrived, because it was him all along - he was Michael Lucifer! He said he realised there must be a lot of confusion right now in people's minds and explained. He said at One Night Only it was in fact him who had gotten the better of his brother, and donned his outfit in the hopes of finding out where the last of their family relics and heirlooms were. That had worked successfully, and so he could end the charade right there. The real Abel appeared at the entrance ramp with two ICWW lawyers and shockingly revealed that the wrong people had been informed about Michael's ruse and that ICWW was officially closing right then and there. Michael Lucifer stood in the middle of the ring in disbelief as ICWW: Panic Attack came to an emotional climax. The commentators thanked everyone for joining, and following ICWW as it ended.

ICWW: Aftershock (11/22/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      NOVEMBER 22, 2002

The final Aftershock before ICWW: Panic Attack opened with Abel Lucifer making his way to the ring. He said that his destruction plan for ICWW had clouded his mind, but he had gone back and reviewed his plans to take the heavyweight championship. He then said he thought Team Extreme both had cases toward the title as well, but since Violent J hadn't arrived at the ICWW arena the match would be a thriple threat table match including Marz.

 

Edge made his way next to the ring to face The Game in one on one competition. The two fighters took it to each other evenly before Edge began to take the clear advantage. He nailed the 'Game' with his Edgecution move and finished it off with a firm. The Game jumped to his feet after the match and started declaring how bad ICWW is and that it's no wonder it's closing down. Albert Beefcake leapt up out of his commentators seat and in a moment of patriotism brutally attacked The Game, dropping him out cold with the Albo Bomb! The Bear-Whale dragged his opponent to the backstage area where he demanded police security arrest the Game for disturbing the peace. The two officers laughed at Albert, telling him no one really gets arrested at Wrestling shows, it'd be silly because they're always fighting each other a yelling obscenities. Albert said rar and began laying into the Game, the police officers lent a hand.

 

Back in the spotlight Buddy Luv was left alone to commentate the match between two of ICWW's most loyal superstars - Patrick Mannion and Rockey. The two traded blows with Mannion looking good to take the match but Rockey managed to reverse the trademarked Mannion Smackdown Slam, and take the win with a sunset flip.

 

Backstage Violent J arrived and said he was disappointed he couldn't get the title shot but happy for Marz. Marz told Violent J to shut up because he wouldn't have gotten a title shot. He said that it was Violent J who cost them the gold in the first place at One Night Only, and if it wasn't for him they wouldn't have the Tag titles. Marz shoved his partner and Violent J scorned, telling his friend not to push around the JCW champion. Marz yelled that there is no real JCW title, J made it up and walked away. J stared into space able to say only, "not real?"

 

Next it was announced that the hardcore championship would be on the line in an open invitational match. Rockey returned to the ring and waited in the ring for his opponents. The Hurricane and Albert Beefcake both ran down the ramp next as the match went underway in triple threat conditions. The Hurricane was getting hammered by the Beefer with nice flat coco butts, but Rockey dove in on the attack with a nice bulldog on the Beefer. Ine the end both Rockey and Albo took it to the Hurricane, Rockey nailing him with the F5 and then Albert took both his opponents down with a nice Albo Bomb for the pin. Albert celebrated over his fallen foes by dancing his way back to the commentators chair. When he jumped back on he said that he hadn't felt that good since when back home in Alaska the salmon defeated the bear in a swimming match up stream with tears in his eyes.

 

Lord Nomad on the big screen and called for Jason Shamrock. He said that the two of them had been going back and forth for a while and the fact was he had something Shamrock wanted, and Shamrock had something he wanted - the Eurasian title. He invited Shamrock to show backstage in the special ring that had been prepared for him, for the two of them to face each other in a barbed wire match. Suddenly Shamrock attacked Nomad from the side and the two rolled into the ring for the match. They exchanged pleasantries with a DDT and a neck breaker before the carnage began seeing Shamrock the first to feel the sting of barbed wire. The two whipped each other back and forth in to the barbed wire, when Nomad used a chair against Shamrock! Nomad dropped his opponent with a modified choke slam and then retrieved a table from the outside. He prepared to whip Shamrock into the table, but Shamrock reversed into the wire and got the cover. As Shamrock retreated with his Eurasian title Nomad pointed to the table and told Shamrock he'd be seeing him!

 

The triple threat elimination table match for the heavyweight title was ready to begin as Marz headed to the ring. He was followed by the new ICWW CEO Abel Lucifer who tried to intimidate the Team Extremer. Banging raced to the ring quickly and the match was underway seeing Marz and Abel duking it out straight away. Abel dominated with a nice DDT and followed up with an elbow drop. Banging entered the fray only to get pounded on by both Abel and Marz. The two double teamed the champion looking to count him out of the match. Banging dropped Marz with a dandy samoan drop, but was taken out from behind by Abel with a TV camera. Abel took it to the outside by setting Banging up on the announcers desk and dropped him with a chokeslam. Banging tried to nail the CEO with a weapon but he kicked it right back at him, then used a monitor to clock the champ! Abel set up a table and scooped the heavyweight champion over his shoulder, Banging slipped out and hit the Kiwi Bomb but it wasn't enough to stop the rampage, Banging was put through the table with a devil driver! The match continued with Abel in charge over Marz, kicking back several chair shots. Marz got a second wind and hammered at Lucifer with a chair, and then nailed him with the Spiral Bomb! Marz retrieved a table and set it up in the center of the ring. Abel Lucifer hit a low blow, and avoided going through the table. Marz kicked Abel stiffly and then planted him through a table with a tough Spiral Bomb to win the title!

 

Violent J raced to the ring to congratulate his partner but Marz nailed him out cold with the heavyweight championship! He snatched Violent J's Tag Team title belt and spat on him as Aftershock went off the air for maybe the last time.

ICWW: Civil Action (11/19/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      NOVEMBER 19, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action opened with the new man in charge Abel Lucifer making his way to the ring. He said that now that he was in charge things were going to change and that would be seen this weekend on ICWW: Panic Attack. He said the TLC match was a one man show, and never provided any entertainment or surprise for the fans. He declared that Panic Attack would appropriately feature a new match called - the Panic Room. Abel said that he's not idiot, and he wasn't going to give it away, but later in the night he would face Kurt Angle in a number one contender match for Panic Attack to face heavyweight champion Banging.

Billy Kidman and Timmy Wizardy made their way to the ring to face each other in one on one competition. It was a close battle with Timmy Wizardy managing to hit a pedigree and then land a swanton bomb on Kidman. It wasn't enough to stop the rampaging Kidman though who nailed Wizardy with a rock bottom and a pin.

Backstage Banging approached Abel Lucifer and asked him if he still wanted him to surrender the title. Abel looked at him oddly and told him to get ready for his Tag title match. Banging didn't stay to question and shot off looking for Chris Benoit while Abel Lucifer headed toward Michael Lucifer's former office.

Rockey defeated Choob in a one on one confrontation. The match was tight seeing both hit their respective trademarks, but it was Rockey who finished it with a stunner which apparently knocked Choob unconscious.

Lord Nomad made his way to the ring and announced that he hadn't seen Heartbrand around and didn't really care because he decided not to give him a National championship. Jason Shamrock headed down and said that while he didn't like Josh Heartbrand much, it wasn't a nice thing to taunt him like that and challenged the Nomad. Jason Shamrock took care of Lord Nomad in a non-title match. The Eurasian champion dominated the National champion to add another loss to his unfortunate streak. Shamrock finished it with the Alternate F4.

Kurt Angle faced Abel Lucifer in a no holds barred match to crown a number one contender for Panic Attack. Abel Lucifer had the advantage to begin with, but it wasn't long before Kurt Angle began to amount an offense. He avoided an axe kick and managed to reverse it into an Olympic slam. A failed Devil Driver saw Angle score the pin.

Backstage Shane Altmann spoke with the heavyweight champion Banging about his upcoming title defense. He said that Chris Benoit had bugged out on him but he didn't care about that little girl. Banging declared that he would defend the Tag Team titles alone in a handicapped match and Team Extreme would feel his might. Banging lived up to his word taking it to Violent J early on. Marz ended it falling to the Kiwi Bomb, but managing to hit the Spiral Bomb. Violent J celebrated but Marz turned and nailed J with his Tag belt as CA ended!

ICWW: One Night Only

November 17th - ICWW: One Night Only The lines were drawn with the inevitable to come on the stroke of the century. One hundred days would mark the night of legends - when the extreme ones would face the champion in a golden match to reach the heavens. The brothers who curse with vengeance and fury would end their clash. On this night of purity all will know retribution as fate sets it's eye upon them. They will stare at the face of the end and feel that which can never be felt again. They will become gods - for one night only...

Triple Threat match
Tony McTier d. Phenom & AJ Styles
ICWW: One Night Only was electric as Phenom, Tony 'Tripp' McTier and Phenom made their way to the ring for a Triple Threat match. McTier sent AJ Styles into the ropes with an irish whip and dropped him with a nice leg sweep. AJ got back to his feet and nodded, before sending McTier down with a nice spinebuster slam. Phenom jumped Styles with a hard knee to the gut, and styles retaliated with a nice Lou Thesz press. Phenom sent Styles packing with a back body drop, and then sent him to the outside of the ring with a huge vertical suplex! Styles was counted out, and the match became a one on one affair as Phenom took McTier down with a quick belly to belly suplex. Phenom hooked up with a half nelson looking for the submission, but McTier reversed it clamping down hard on the arm. Phenom managed to finally slip out of the hold but was dropped by the T-bomb. Phenom tried to roll McTier up, but to no avail. McTier wins.

 

Hardcore championship match
Oozaru d. Rockey (c)
Oozaru challenged Rockey for the Hardcore title next in a match starting backstage. Oozaru attacked Rockey with a shovel but Rockey managed to sneak in a nice boxing combo. It didn't take long for Oozaru to hit the lag buster and pick up the win. He strutted away laughing as Rockey nursed his head wondering what happened.

 

Patrick Mannion d. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels and Patrick Mannion met next in an exhibition match up, Michaels attacking with a neck breaker straight up. Michaels sent his opponent into the ropes, but Mannion dropped his opponent with a firm clothesline. Michaels took him down with a Lou Thesz press, and then followed up with a high flying kamikaze clothesline! Mannion started to take control after hitting a jackhammer, and then dropped Michaels with his trademark Smackdown! slam! Mannion took a minute to yell "all rights reserved" at the crowd after the electrifying move. With Michaels dazed, Mannion went for a firm pin but Shawn kicked out. A second attempt was it. Shawn Michaels rushed off hastily as Mannion strutted around the ring celebrating.

 

The commentators Buddy Luv and Albert Beefcake took a minute to discuss the huge main event that was to come. A TLC Tag Team match - but one of your opponents through a table to take the Tag Titles. Climb the ladder to take the heavyweight gold! They speculated that after the insane ladder match on Aftershock Banging might be a little sore, Albert said he tried to arrest Banging and he knew just how resilient he was. However he was unhappy about not being his partner, so he tipped Team Extreme to come out on top.

No Holds Barred Eurasian championship match
Jason Shamrock d. The Rock (c)
The Rock prepared to defend his Eurasian championship match with no holds barred! He started off the match well with a DDT, but Shamrock nailed him with the same move. The two stared at each other, Shamrock challenging The Rock saying he could match anything. The Rock then went on the charge for a neck breaker, but Shamrock ducked out of it and prepared to hammer with boxing rights and lefts, but The Rock beat him to it! Shamrock slid out of the ring, and pulled a chair from beneath the ring and slid in smiling. The Rock ready himself, and Shamrock absolutely plastered him with the steel chair! The Rock staggered but pulled Shamrock in for a piledriver and then it was time! The Rock removed his elbow pad, went left to right and then dropped the people's elbow! He picked Shamrock up to deliver the Rock Bottom but Shamrock hammered his way out of the move and then hit his own finishing move - the alternate F4! Shamrock got the cover to win!

 

The Rock stared in disbelief as Shamrock stood on the ramp pointing at the Eurasian title and then back to The Rock telling him "there's no stopping, I'm in the zone!" as he backed away. The crowd gave The Rock recognition for a great match as he headed back.
 

Submission match
Josh Heartbrand d. Lord Nomad
Lord Nomad got on the mic. and chortled as he looked toward the entrance way. He laughed heartily, before announcing that if Josh Heartbrand could beat him and his Satanic 4 he would consider giving him a National championship title shot on Civil Action. Heartbrand looked smug as he made his way to the ring in a clash of egos. Nomad began the match going for a crescent kick, but Heartbrand caught it and sent the National champ back with a hard right hand.
Heartbrand dropped the Nomad with a huge flapjack and wasted no time clamping down the Hail Mary submission. Nomad slipped out and fell forward with a running powerbomb, flowing into a Satanic 4 submission. Heartbrand managed to reverse the hold clamping down to send Nomad into the world of hurt. Nomad slipped out again, this time dropping Heartbrand with a standing powerbomb. Again he tried for the Satanic 4 but Heartbrand refused to even come close to submittion, rolling it over and reversing the pressure. Nomad reached the ropes but was unable to stand, Heartbrand draggd him to the center of the ring and hooked up with another Hail Mary forcing Lord Nomad to tap out under the extreme pressure.

 

Heartbrand laid a boot down on Nomad until he was out of the ring and then jumped on the microphone. He said he would be seeing Mr. Nomad on Civil Action, and would be happy to show him once again how much of a joke he and ICWW really is.

 

Final Battle
Abel Lucifer d. Michael Lucifer
Backstage now; Abel and Michael Lucifer stared at each other coldly and exchanged honorable acknowledgments as they prepared to fight in their final battle in what could only be described as a monumentous atmosphere. The backstage area had a few superstars from the locker room milling around to witness the fight for their very company. Michael was the first to move.
He took Abel down hard with a clothesline, and then began stomping away at him. Abel got to his feet and attacked fiercely with a thrust kick and then a heart punch which sent Mick back.
Abel pressed on forcing the two toward the boiler room, where Michael through his brother down the small flight of stairs. The two brothers continued the fray violently slamming each other into steam pipes and the concrete floor. Abel managed to throw his brother right into the window of a working station busting his forehead open. Michael retaliated with a tremendous devil driver! He found a ladder and climbed to the top of the workstation daring his brother to follow - which he did. The two duked it out atop the station before Abel managed to gain the upper hand and chokeslam his brother off the other side of the small building!
Cameras were unable to follow to this area but the sounds of battle raged on until finally one of the brothers could be heard yelling in pain. There was silence for a moment and then a fatigued body could be seen dragging itself over the fence that separated the camera man and the fight.
The man was Abel Lucifer.

 

TLC Tag Team/Heavyweight championship match
Banging & Chris Benoit d. Team Extreme (c)
Banging (c) & Chris Benoit d. Marz & Violent J
The three men made their way to the ring followed by Chris Benoit in anti-climatic fashion. Benoit didn't take the focus though as the match was underway for both the Tag Team and Heavyweight titles. Violent J reversed Banging's attack and put him down with a DDT.
Violent J followed with a nice neck breaker, and then went corner to corner with a VanDaminator! Violent J then looked for the tag, but Marz only tagged back ordering him to stay in longer. Violent J reluctantly did but put on a good show reversing a savage chair attack from the heavyweight champion! Benoit was tagged in and connected with the chair this time!
Marz got into the match and knocked Chris Benoit out cold with a spiral bomb! With Benoit down Team Extreme pulled a table into the ring and set it up. Banging tagged in and surprised Marz with a Kiwi Bomb! Marz managed to fall into his corner and make the tag, Banging hit the Kiwi Bomb on Violent J and Marz made a blind tag. Banging scooped him up and dropped him through the table with another Kiwi bomb to crown himself and Chris Benoit as Tag champs.
Bruised and battered the Marz and Banging struggled to move. Banging tagged in Benoit who went on the offensive with a combination of jabs and hooks. Marz turned the tables delivering his own punches, but Benoit sent him reeling with a Lucifer heart punch. Marz bought himself some time dropping Benoit with a low blow in the no disqualifications situation.
Marz took the chance to drag the ladder into the ring, Marz and Benoit both made tags, Violent J having his VanDaminator attempt turned against him. The ladder was set up and Banging began to climb, only to be shaken off with the ladder still standing. Marz tagged in as Banging began to climb the ladder, Marz joined him as they both made their way to the top only to have Banging shove Marz right off the top. He reached up and grabbed his belt to retain!

 

Standing at the top of the ladder with his Heavyweight championship Banging looked out to the crowd with his arms raised. He pointed down to Chris Benoit who had both Tag belts over his shoulders and Benoit gave the cut throat to the crowd! ICWW: One Night Only went off the air as Team Extreme argued their way to the back.

ICWW: Aftershock (11/15/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      NOVEMBER 15, 2002

The Hardcore championship went on the line as Aftershock began seeing rookie champion Remonstate take on Rockey. The match didn't last long with Rockey taking control with a weapon early on. It wasn't long before Rockey hit a dragonrana and got the cover to become a two-time hardcore champ.

 

Backstage Albert Beefcake approached Banging and asked him who his partner would be at ONO. Banging looked at Albo sourly, so the Beefer asked if he could be Bangings' partner. Banging didn't look pleased once again and said no. Albert then decided to put Banging under a citizens arrest for an unknown charge. ICWW security dragged Albert away from the heavyweight champion, but not without a rar.

 

Eurasian champion The Rock took on Phenom in a one on one match up. Phenom looked good early on but The Rock soon took control with a nice Samoan drop, and a spinebuster. With Phenom down it was time for the most electrifying move in ICWW - the people's elbow! The Rock followed up with a Rock Bottom for a clean pin victory over Phenom. Jason Shamrock raced to the ring and attacked the celebrating Rock applying an ankle lock while Phenom laid the boot down on The Rock. Rock required assistance from the ring.

 

Backstage on 'RSI: Aftershock cam', Chris Benoit was seen entering the locker room of the heavweight champion. After a short while Benoit looked around suspiciously as he left the room, with Banging apparently laughing about something. Footage was then shown of Banging's title win was shown for milestone week.

 

Chris Benoit made his way to the ring to face Terry Bogard in his first ICWW match. The knock-out legend looked to dominate the recently returned Benoit in his first match. It started off close the two exchanging moves evenly, until Chris Benoit managed to get the upper hand. He leveled Bogard with a devil driver and then went upstairs to deliver a little diving head butt - Air Canada style. Benoit connected hard apparently knocking Terry Bogard out cold! Chris Benoit strutted around the ring smuggly, before heading backstage.

 

Abel Lucifer made his way to the ring next declaring that just like years ago he had taken his brother's wife, he was going to take Michael's entire organization by defeating him in the final battle at One Night Only. He said that he wished their people could be there to witness the dawning of a new age; when the favoured became the demised, and he would begin his unstoppable quest for the heavyweight championship. Abel said that the title was all that mattered to him now, because his brother was as good as dead to him. Lord Nomad then raced to the ring to apparently defend the owner's honor - however Michael was no where to be seen.

 

Lord Nomad started hard with a nice belly to belly suplex, but Abel looked in premium shape as he tossed the Nomad around with animal like ferocity. The match hadn't been going long before Abel managed to avoid falling to a Bible Black, and planted Nomad with a chokeslam from hell. He then followed with an armageddon powerdriver and a very firm cover. He stood over Nomad triumphantly not allowing him to stand before slowly making his way to the back, mocking the crowd on his way before getting attacked by Heartbrand! Lucifer was driven to the back as Josh Heartbrand raced to the ring and began stomping a mudhole in Nomad. Heartbrand took to the mic. and said that he had defeated Nomad and he could defeat anyone in ICWW. He said ICWW and Nomad was as pathetic a joke as the infantile drivel found on Comedy Central. Josh Heartbrand then declared that he could defeat anyone in ICWW, because they were all bottom of the barrel compared to his elite, prestigious, uncanny ring skills. Heavyweight contender Marz answered!

 

Marz started off hard attacking with a Lou Thesz press. Heartbrand regained his composure and fought back with a nice DDT, and a flapjack. Marz battled back in the swaying match with a powerbomb, before producing his trademark taser! Marz decided to try and shock some respect into the blue blood before dropping him with a spiral bomb, and getting the cover. Marz laughed hysterically and sent taunts to the back directed at Banging.

 

In the main event Banging faced Oozaru in a ladder match just days before the TLC match at One Night Only. In what was arguably the greatest match in the history of ICWW Banging was in control to begin with, annihilating Oozaru with a tombstone piledriver. He brought the ladder into the ring, and followed up with a Kiwi bomb! This allowed him time to set up the ladder, and nailed Oozaru with his own Lag Buster finisher. Oozaru wasn't out of it yet, returning the humiliation with a Kiwi bomb. Banging managed to knock him down again after ducking a flying lariat and nailing him with his own. Banging climbed to the top of the ladder and reached for the the win but missed, only to be brought flying down by Oozaru! The two wrestled over the ladder before nailing him with a Kiwi bomb. Oozaru retaliated with a devastating flatliner but Banging retaliated with a Samoan drop. Banging began to climb the ladder, but so did Oozaru! They both reached the top and began shoving each other until finally Oozaru managed to send Banging flying with a huge punch, and reached up to take the win.

 

After the forty-five minute match Oozaru stood high atop the ladder holding the winners belt above his head as Banging lay motionless and Aftershock came to a climatic end.

Abel Lucifer d. Lord Nomad
Hardcore - Marz d. Josh Heartbrand
Ladder - Oozaru d. Banging

The Beefer says:

"Baby, Oozaru and Banging in the ladder match. I thought I saw and angel falling, then I realised it was just Oozaru shoving Banging off of the ladder. Match of the year baby - rar!"

ICWW: Civil Action (11/12/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      NOVEMBER 12, 2002

Civil Action opened with Chris Benoit returning to the ICWW arena. He faced the Game and Rockey in a triple threat match. With disqualification rules in place the Game soon found himself eliminated after nailing Rockey with a steel chair. The referee sent him to the back and the match continued as a one on one but soon finished after Chris Benoit nailed the diving headbutt and got a cover.

 

We crossed to a hospital where Albert Beefcake informed fans that Hayley Nick had come out of her coma and he was waiting to finally interview her to find out who hit her in the parking lot. The Beefer said he knew she would point out the extreme culprits. Albo let out a loud rar as we crossed back to the arena.

 

Abel Lucifer made his way to the ring next to send a message to his brother. He said after he wins the final battle at ICWW: One Night Only, he would seize control of ICWW and it's associates by default. After that happened he guaranteed Banging would then surrender the heavyweight title to him, or he would take it from him because the number one gold is all that matters to him.

 

With milestone week underway at ICWW the recently returned Kurt Angle prepared to face the Eurasian champion in a non-title match up. The first time these two met was at the very first ICWW event, the Frontline. The match kicked off fast and well, seeing Kurt Angle get the early advantage but it was the Rock that took control after dropping the people's elbow. It was long before he planted the Rock Bottom and got the cover.

 

Backstage Banging was asking Abel if he really wanted him to surrender the heavyweight title to him. Abel said that if he didn't he would pry it from his cold hands because all that mattered to him was eliminating his brother, and the heavyweight title. The two glared at each other before heading out. In a Tag Team match Banging teamed with Abel Lucifer against Jason Shamrock and Choob. The match was quick, Banging and Choob exhausting themselves leaving it down to Shamrock and Lucifer. Abel was up after hitting a chokeslam, but couldn't get the cover falling victim to an F4 and a pin.

 

Oozaru made his way to the ring and said that on the last Civil Action he got revenge on Marz, and there tonight he was going to take out Violent J. Violent J raced to the ring to answer the challenge and the match was underway. The big monkey was fighting furiously but Violent J managed to turn things around with a steel chair! With Oozaru reeling Violent J continued the assault, finishing him with a Psycho flip! Marz raced to the ring and the two proceeded to lay a beat down on the former hardcore champion.

 

Albert Beefcake returned to the screen entering Hayley Nick's room. He asked how she was and dropped a vase of flowers on her. He ignored her discomfort and demanded to know who was responsible for attacking her. Ms. Nick looked at Albert oddly and asked him what he meant by attack. Albert quickly exclaimed that she must have amnesia. She then explained she wasn't attacked - when she was taking some food to her car she noticed William Regal urinating, was so shocked she slipped on a grease stain and must have hit her head. Albert stared blankly and could say nothing but - rar.

 

Josh Heartbrand made an entrance and started by telling the crowd ICWW is a joke. He said that the comments Nomad had made about Xio and himself being scared were preposterous and that he had returned to make sure Nomad was no longer under the delusion that Heartbrand was afraid or concerned about him. Nomad raced to the ring for the main event match. The two battled hard, Heartbrand managed to avoid falling victim to the Bible Black and soon reversed the Satanic 4 on Lord Nomad! Nomad broke free but fell victim to the Hail Mary submission. Heartbrand grabbed the National title and held it high above his head laughing at the fallen Nomad as ICWW Civil Action came to and end.

Special mention:
