QUICK RESULTS:
Loopster d. The Hurricane
Rockey Rakesh d. Statix
Shaggy 2 Dope d. Banging
Jason Shamrock d. Violent J

It was hot in the ol' ICWW arena as Buddy Luv and Stat-Man welcomed fans to the packed house for ICWW: Civil Action. With a big line up including Loopster, Rockey, Statix, Shamrock, the Dark Lotus and many more. Stat-Man then informed Buddy Luv that he thought he had seen Banging backstage again. Buddy Luv took the opportunity to inform fans that Banging had been backstage some weeks ago.

Backstage a limousine pulled into the arena parking lot, and out stepped the heavyweight champion Triple H! Shane Altmann approached the champ for questioning, but was quickly shoved away by a concerned looking Triple H.

Loopster headed to the ring accompanied by Dez Burnett to open the show with a match against the Hurricane. The young superstar received a huge ovation as he flew down to the ring, launching himself over the top rope and going for a cross body block fall straight off the bat. Loopster kicked out quickly and went off the ropes looking for a diving forearm, sending the super hero back. Hurricane regained his footing and shot off the ropes with a high flying plancha. Loopster still reeling from the attack attempted to drop Hurricane with a uranagi but didn't have the strength, instead getting whipped into the turnbuckle. The super hero propped him up top looking for a top rope hurracanrana, but in high risk fashion Loopster reversed it into a huge top rope sick factor! It was academic from there, Loopster scoring the pin fall. Hurricane clearly disappointed with the turn around.

In the Dark Lotus locker room Violent J was pleading a case to team leader Marz. He was still boosting for Albert Beefcake, proclaiming that they could be a tag team called the Juggalo Express! A-Train and J-Train! They could steamroll the competition. Marz asked Albert why they should accept him after he lost, particularly when he already let Chaos Drone in. J pleaded one last time, to which Marz responded, "nevermore". Shaggy started clapping in the background.

Next Rockey Rakesh, number one contender for the heavyweight championship belt headed to the ring to take on one of the men who defeated him for the tag belts - Statix. The two squared off in the ring ready to exchange blows. Statix getting the early advantage with hard elbows to the head, and then sent Loopster into the ropes, catching him with an outside crescent kick. Rakesh gathered himself and went on the charge with hard rights and lefts, and finished off with a nice DDT. Statix went on the return with knees to the midsection, and then dropped Rakesh with a nice spinning heel kick. Statix looked set to hit the rolling thunder, but Rakesh put the knees up, taking it to Statix' lower back! Rakesh went on the offensive with another series of punches, and finished it with the Indian powerbomb!

Banging's theme music hit the arena, as the long unseen superstar headed down to the ring. He said that a lot of things had been going on in ICWW while he had been out of the ring, and he couldn't stay backstage without confront at least one of them. Banging called out the Dark Lotus, saying their recent attacks were just plain wrong. Shaggy 2 Dope answered his call alone, clapping up a storm on the way to the ring. He snatched the mic. from Banging and challenged him right there.

Banging stepped back and threw a punch as the bell sounded. The former grand slam champion picked Dope up, and sent him into the ropes, with a dandy Samoan drop follow up, which whipped the crowd into a frenzy! Banging looked to continue the assault, but Shaggy got a thumb to the eye. Dope continued with a hard clothesline, and followed it up with a nice leg drop. Banging got to his feet and hooked up with a front face lock, but Shaggy managed to counter it with a vertical suplex. Taking a minute to clap for the crowd before dropping the big elbow! Banging was reeling but managed to hit the Kiwi bomb, leaving both men down. It was Shaggy who managed to recover first, hitting a frog splash from the top rope and finishing the match with a lateral press. The crowd applauded Banging's effort as the former superstar headed to the back to rethink he strategy.

Shaggy 2 Dope remained in the ring as Violent J's theme hit the arena. The Y2Juggalo headed to the ring, and took a microphone. He congratulated Shaggy on the win, and then asked the crowd if they wanted to see some more Lotus action. The crowd cheered, but J wanted to hear an "ooh what a lovely tea party". J then asked if the crowd wanted to see new tag team champions, and was met with a mixed response. Jason Shamrock's theme started and the two pretended to look scared before dancing to the music. Shamrock raced down to the ring and started attacking Violent J! Shaggy 2 Dope jumped out of the ring and the bell sounded.

Shamrock sent Y2J into the ropes, taking him down with a nice Lou Thesz press. J struck back with a nice swinging neck breaker, and followed up with a snap suplex! Shamrock jumped to his feet and looked furious, encouraging Violent J to back up pleading for mercy, before he dropped to his knees and begged! Shamrock looked out to the crowd and roared at J, but was caught with a low blow before anything could happen. The referee didn't see it, so J went off the ropes and hit the bent over Shamrock with a scissors kick! The crowd went wild as Violent J shot three fingers in the air and hit the J-arooni right in the middle of the ring! Shamrock leapt to his feet and grabbed Violent J, slamming him down with a belly to belly suplex, and then picked him up again - hitting the psycho flip, and a pin! Shaggy 2 Dope jumped in the ring and attacked Shamrock from behind with a steel chair! Shamrock rolled out of the ring and regretfully retreated up the ramp, but the Juggalos took back the mic and challenged Shamrock to a tag title match at Kingdom Come. Shamrock shouted challenging abuse while pointing and nodding.

It was time to play the game as Triple H headed to the ring with his heavyweight championship belt. He said that since finding Edge with the crap beaten out of him, he had been a little worried. He thought that maybe somehow Michael Lucifer was plotting against him, but then he had a revelation. Triple H said that there was no way it could be Lucifer, and not because he was paralyzed. Triple H said that the company was lying about Michael Lucifer, and that in fact he was not paralyzed, but rather dead! He said it was obviously a conspiracy to keep fans with ICWW, and avoid any controversy that might effect sales at Kingdom Come. He said that he crippled Lucifer, and then someone finished him off in the hospital and that was why he was taking so long to recover. He then challenged someone to produce Michael Lucifer, when suddenly the man in question's theme song hit the arena! The crowd went wild with Lucifer chants, but it wasn't the Lucifer expected - instead the new secretary for the CEO, Gwen, stepped out at the entrance. She told Triple H that he was event more of an idiot than he looked if he thought Lucifer was dead. The game laughed, and then challenged Gwen to produce Lucifer on Aftershock, to which she looked shocked! Suddenly a wave of blood splashed down into the ring from the ceiling, covering Triple H from head to toe! The crowd went wild as the saturated champ struggled on the ground, covered in blood as CA came to an end!

ICWW: Aftershock (Apr 25, 2003)

THE ROAD TO KINGDOM COME

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK APRIL 25, 2003

Special mention:
Marz and his Dark Lotus are becoming a real wild card, as the road to Kingdom Come grows shorter. Can the Nomad remain the world champion?

QUICK RESULTS:
Loopster d. Statix & Shaggy 2 Dope
Jason Shamrock d. Rockey Rakesh
Violent J d. Albert Beefcake
The Nomad d. Jauger

The crowd was erupting as Aftershock came on the air, Buddy Luv alongside him new ICWW commentator the Prince, and both were very excited about Aftershock. ICWW day number two hundred and forty five, and the crowd was excited about Triple H, Rockey Rakesh, the Nomad, the Dark Lotus, and Gwen Lucifer all being in the arena for the big show - as well as Dez Burnett rumored to be tagging Loopster!

The Game's music hit as the heavyweight champion made his way down to the ring in tracksuit pants and a shirt. He took to the microphone and told the booing fans to shut up. The Game was obviously rattled, recapping on the events from Civil Action, where someone spattered blood all over his locker room, and Edge who was tied to a wooden cross. He said since Michael Lucifer was away licking his wounds, it must've been his little zealot Rockey Rakesh. The Game called Rakesh sick and didn't know what he thought he was doing, because all it did was to give him another reason to cripple him too. Rakesh stepped out onto the stage with a microphone, and pulled his glasses down so that he could look at the crowd. Rakesh said he had nothing to do with what happened to Edge, but thought he deserved it for what he did to his bhai's lady friend. He then told Triple H that he'd get what was coming to him at Kingdom Come, where their match would be a no disqualifications match so that he couldn't wimp out and keep his title by cheating. Triple H laughed and told him he just played right into the game, and Rakesh responded by telling him not to leave town.

Statix' theme song kicked up as the tag team champion made his way to the ring to take on Loopster and Shaggy 2 Dope in a triple threat match. On Civil Action Shaggy 2 Dope assisted Statix and Shamrock in their title win, something they weren't entirely thrilled about. The Dark Lotus member danced his way to the ring, coming without any of his Dark Lotus partners. Shaggy clapped up a storm in the ring, before Loopster made his entrance. The hardcore champion was accompanied by Dez Burnett, who was apparently guarding Loopster until his hardcore title shot at Kingdom Come! Shaggy and Statix had already started, exchanging blows before the hardcore champ joined the fight, taking Shaggy 2 Dope down with a hard jump swinging DDT. Statix and Loopster went at it, breaking up with a huge spinning heel kick from Statix. He followed it up with a spinning leg drop, and looked for the rolling thunder, but nobody was there. Loopster and Shaggy duked it out, Shaggy looking for a big swinging neck breaker, but Loopster telegraphed it, countering with a hammer lock, but Shaggy pulled away out of that and dropped Loopster with the something factor! Shaggy and Statix went at it, Statix getting dominated by the juggalo superstar, who took him to the corner with a hard Irish whip. Shaggy went upstairs, taking Statix down with a hard tornado DDT, but was taken out from behind with a bulldog by Loopster, who capitalized on the situation with a loop screw on the falling Statix.

Dez Burnett jumped in the ring and took a microphone. He acknowledged that he was impressed by the way Loopster was able to capitalize on the situation, but said there wasn't going to be any opportunity like that once Kingdom Come arrived. Burnett said that he was many things; the Rising Star, the next hardcore champion - but he was also a king of the cage match. He told Loopster he intended to prove that, by having their match inside a cage. Loopster snatched the microphone, still heaving from his match, and told Burnett that he had would kick his ass however he wanted.

In the Dark Lotus locker room Violent J burst in with Albert Beefcake. Marz asked why J had brought the Beefer in, and he got excited, exclaiming that he had a winner. J said that Albert had what they were looking for, he had the three Ps - Potential, a phrase and most importantly, poise! Marz said he didn't think they needed Albert, and J said he'd prove it by taking him to the ring! Shaggy jumped into the room and started clapping, and the Y2Juggalo began tap dancing. Albert said "rar".

One half of the tag team champions, Jason Shamrock, hit the ring next to take on former tag team champion Rockey Rakesh. The Nomad had declined the opportunity to have a rematch for the tag titles, so it would be singles competition. The little fire cracker started things off with a wild boxing offensive, driving Shamrock to the corner where he mounted the turnbuckle for the ten punch. Shamrock managed to slam Rakesh down with a modified powerbomb, and followed it up with an attacking suplex combo. The fire cracker went off the ropes, and snuck back into it with a diving forearm, and then locked up looking for the Indian powerbomb, but Shamrock managed to counter it with a back body drop! He locked in the ankle lock on Rakesh and there was nothing he could do, tapping out right in the center of the ring!

Gwen Lucifer was backstage with a hookup to Buddy Luv and the Prince. She told them that Michael Lucifer's condition was improving in leaps and bounds each day. She said with the assistance of a frame he was now mobile, but still needs rest. Buddy Luv then asked Gwen about her new position with the ICWW, she revealed that she had gotten a job as the CEO's secretary. The Prince asked if she knew who the CEO is, and she confirmed that the mystery CEO is living up to his name, communicating with her via a pigeon hole in the ICWW main offices.

In the ring Albert Beefcake made his exciting entrance to the ring, his first match in quite some time. Once in the ring he bounced it up for a little Beefer Bust action, before the Y2Juggalo countdown hit the arena, signaling the entrance of Violent J! The two big men squared up in the ring before Albert broke the physical silence with a hard cocobutt, sending Violent J back. The Y2Juggalo used the backward momentum to slingshot off the ropes, taking Albert down with a nice clothesline. Albert sprung up, and J continued the assault with hard knife edged chops, forcing Albert into a wall of ropes, but he fought out well with a baldo bomb! J recovered, and sent the big Beefer over with a nice vertical suplex, and finished it up with the psycho flip.

The Nomad headed to the ring and applauded Violent J's efforts from the previous match. He said that it was just wonderful to see Violent J finally getting some wins, and said that he might even have a chance at the hardcore title. Nomad then said that as world champ, he felt obliged to give someone an opportunity to fight him. A "glass ceiling" chant started, as the Nomad called out anyone from the back who wanted him, which prompted the Hitman's theme music to slide onto the PA! The Nomad took to the microphone again and told Jauger that ordinarily he wouldn't agree to fight him, but because the crowd seemed to be behind him so much, he should bury him.

The Nomad jumped out of the ring and met Jauger on the outside, the two exchanging devastating blows back and forth. Nomad rolled Jauger into the ring, and started stomping down on him, but stopped to taunt for the crowd. Jauger caught the Nomad from behind with a modified powerbomb slam, and returned the favor with a stomping of his own. He picked the Nomad up and looked for a stunner, but the Nomad pushed him away sending him into the ropes, allowing the world champ to take his opponent down on the return with a hard crescent kick. The Nomad picked Jauger up, and took him straight back down with a hard short clothesline, and shouted to the crowd that he was the lord of ICWW! He rolled to the outside and retrieved his international championship belt, and shoved it in the fallen Jauger's face, shouting that it wasn't for him, and then planted a big boot down on Jauger! He went for a cocky cover, but only got a two count. Jauger struggled to his feet, the Nomad taking him back with a hard Irish whip, but the Hitman dodged the clothesline attempt and took him down with a hard cross body block! The Nomad kicked out of it straight away, and planted the Hitman with the bible black, finishing the match with a solid cover.

The Dark Lotus swarmed down to the ring, as Marz and the Nomad came face to face in the middle of the ring. The world champ got in the number one contender's face and pointed to his belt, before knocking Marz down with a crescent kick! Shaggy 2 Dope, Violent J and Chaos Drone jumped the Nomad from behind, for a good old fashioned beat down, as Jauger staggered his way to the back without a care.

ICWW: CIvil Action (Apr 22, 2003)

CIVIL ACTION RETURNS!

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION APRIL 22, 2003

Special mention:
The Rising Star, Dez Burnett, asserts himself as the number one contender for the hardcore title - look out Loopster!

QUICK RESULTS:
[Hardcore] - Loopster [c] d. The Hurricane
Jauger d. Dez Burnett
Violent J d. Chaos Drone
[Tag Team] - Statix & Shamrock d. Nomad & Rakesh [c]

The crowd was electric, as Buddy Luv and Stat-Man welcomed fans to the big show, with the Tag Team championships on the line in the night's headlining match. They were also happy to announce that although still wheel chair bound, Michael Lucifer had been discharged to the comfort of his home, in the care of his wife.

Johnny Begoode headed to the ring to take another chance at singing, as he had done on the previous week on Civil Action, but he got a rude shock when instead of his original track, Loopster's theme hit the sound system! The hardcore champion raced down to the ring and attacked the ICWW singer with the hardcore title belt!

The crowd stood back, as the Hurricane swooped down to the ring to make the save! Hurricane taking Loopster down with a hard swinging neck breaker, and then went for a cover, calling the referee from ringside to make the count. Only scoring a one count, the resident super hero continued the assault with a hard chop, sending Loopster reeling back to the corner, where Hurricane was able to send him across the ring with a rolling toss! From there the hero went upstairs, looking for a big splash, but nobody was home! Loopster picked the Hurricane up and hit the something factor, and then climbed the turnbuckle, presumably for the loop screw, but the Hurricane recovered, causing Loopster to lose his footing by shaking the top rope. Hurricane went up, taking Loopster down with a top rope superplex! Suddenly Dez Burnett raced down to the ring and dropped the Hurricane with a something factor, allowing a still dazed Loopster to make the cover and retain his belt! Burnett snatched microphone and threw the hardcore title to Loopster. He said that from then on to Kingdom Come, the hardcore title was off limits, because the rising star was going to take the title for himself at the center stage.

Backstage Rockey Rakesh was with the Nomad, sporting a sharp new look. The Nomad asked Rakesh who he was supposed to be, and he told him that he was supposed to be the tag team champion, and the next heavyweight champion. The Nomad asked him how that happened, and Rakesh said he was going to make a challenge to Triple H, so that he could get revenge for his bhai getting paralyzed. The Nomad told Rakesh that if he won the heavyweight title he might one day almost achieve the level of greatness the Nomad has. Rakesh gave thumbs up.

In the Dark Lotus locker room Violent J entered with Chaos Drone. He told Marz to come and have a look at him, and Marz asked why he had brought him into their room. Violent J told Marz that he thought he could join the Dark Lotus. Marz said he didn't like the look of him, and J insisted that he had what they were looking for. Marz wasn't aware they were looking for something, but J assured him that they needed Chaos Drone. He said he had the three P's; poise, persistence and paint. Marz still wasn't convinced, so J told him he'd prove it to him in the ring. Shaggy 2 Dope started clapping, setting the beat for Violent J to start dancing.

Jauger the Hitman's music hit next, in an unscheduled appearance. He wandered down to the ring, firing off some winks and finger bangs to his adoring fans. Jauger used his cane to pull himself up and into the ring, and asked for a mic. He reminded the crowd of his match last week, when Dez Burnett cost him the extreme-hardcore title. He said as far as he was concerned Burnett cost him more than his title, but also an excuse to celebrate with the ladies, and that wasn't good. He called Burnett out, challenging him to his first match since his return. The Rising Star's music started up and he skipped on stage. He acknowledged that what he did wasn't right, and granted the Hitman a chance at redemption.

Jauger tossed his cane and jacket out of the ring and prepared to tie up, but Burnett didn't give him a chance, going straight on the attack with a spinning heel kick! The Hitman recovered, looking for a sweeping kick, but the rising star jumped it, but was unable to dodge the spear takedown. Jauger tied up with an arm scissors, but was too close to the ropes to keep Burnett away from the ropes. The Hitman went off the ropes, looking for a clothesline, but Burnett ducked it and took him down with a flying head scissors! With Jauger down he hit a standing moonsault, and then climbed the turnbuckle for the rising star 450 splash! He got some big air, allowing Jauger to roll out of the way right at the last second! From there it was a stunner, and a pin, allowing the hitman to score the win with a lateral press. Jauger kissed one of the lovely ladies in the front row, before heading to the back.

Backstage Jason Shamrock was in the gym preparing himself for the tag team championship match later in the night. Triple H was finishing up lifting some weights when he spotted Shamrock, he wished him luck and told him to squash the little fire cracker for him. Shamrock glanced at him coldly, and told him he didn't squash fighters, he defeated them honorably. The Game laughed and told him to take it easy, before heading to his locker room. The Game told the camera man to follow him so that he could get a good shot of him with the heavyweight title, but when the game opened his locker room door only to find Edge unconscious, tied to a wooden cross, with the title belt over his shoulder. Edge, and much of the wall he was lent against was covered in blood, in what appeared to say "end game". Triple H backed out of the room and shouted at the camera man, telling him to get someone.

Chaos Drone hit the ring, returning after a brief hiatus from ICWW after his grueling X-Division championship match with Loopster. The Y2Juggalo followed, to a big response, dancing his way down to the ring - pointing to his JCW champ t-shirt. He grabbed a microphone and reminded all his fans to buy the new Team Extreme posters available on ICWW.cjb.net to help support the Dark Lotus, and Team X. Chaos Drone attacked Violent J before he was ready, and J started shouting at him for doing so, and then dropped him with a DDT! The Drone jumped back up, sending the Y2Juggalo into the ropes and managed to drop him with a flapjack! Violent J recovered and dropped the Drone with a swinging neck breaker, and followed it up with a leg drop. He clamped down the walls of juggalo but the Drone managed to reach the ropes and save himself. Drone hit a stunner, sending J back and off the ropes, but he blocked a second stunner, hitting the psycho flip instead! With Chaos Drone down Violent J spun around in the middle of the ring for a Jarooni, and then made the cover, picking up himself a much needed win.

There was a hushed anticipation in the arena as fans prepared themselves for the tag team championship match. Statix and Jason Shamrock headed to the ring together, both looking extremely focused. Rockey Rakesh headed to the ring next, sporting his new bad ass look, with the tag team strap under his jacket! The Nomad headed to the ring looking smug as ever, strutting his way to the ring with his championship belts. He handed over the straps and the match got under way, Statix attacking the Nomad, while Rakesh did his best to fend off Shamrock. The referee restored order, getting Statix and Nomad, the two illegal men out of the ring. Shamrock went on the offensive, dropping Rakesh with a hard DDT, and then linked it into a snap suplex. The fire cracker unleashed himself on Shamrock with a boxing combo, driving him into the corner, but Shamrock over powered him and slammed him into the corner, going to work with his own punches! He whipped Rakesh into his own corner and tagged in Statix, who went straight to work with a big back heel. Statix went off the ropes looking for a clothesline, but Rakesh countered with an arm drag, but Statix rolled through it and jumped off the ropes for a huge plancha! With Rakesh down Statix went for the rolling thunder, but he over shot the mark, allowing the fire cracker to make the tag! The Nomad jumped in and slammed Statix down with a clothesline, and then Shamrock jumped in, and Nomad took him down with a clothesline also. Statix snuck up behind and took the world champion down with a German suplex, but suplexed Nomad right into the referee! With the referee down Statix continued to stomp away when suddenly the Dark Lotus raced down to the ring! Violent J and Shaggy attacked Jason Shamrock and Rakesh, while Marz tossed Statix out of the ring and hit the stunned Nomad with a devastating turnbuckle springboard kick! With the Nomad down Dark Lotus fled, allowing Statix to return to the ring and make the cover, making Shamrock and Statix the new tag team champions! The two took their titles but didn't allow the referee to raise their hands, the two instead shaking hands with the Nomad and Rakesh, believing it to be a cheap win. Nomad returned the favour by hitting the bible black on Shamrock and Statix, leaving them down as CA rounded up.

ICWW: Aftershock (Apr 18, 2003)

AFTERSHOCK - HARDCORE 24/7!

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK APRIL 18, 2003

Special mention:
Triple Crown, as Loopster takes the hardcore, X-Division and Extreme championship belts. Can he survive the madness that will ensue as a rule returns?

QUICK RESULTS:
The Hurricane d. Twisted Sanity
Rockey Rakesh d. Jason Shamrock
Statix d. Violent J
[Hardcore-X/Extreme] - Loopster [c] d. Jauger [c]

The crowd was up in arms, going absolutely insane as Aftershock kicked off, bouncing off the hugely successful return of Civil Action! Buddy Luv had a new face alongside him in the commentary booth, welcoming The Prince to the halls of ICWW. The Prince was pretty excited to be on ICWW, during such a monumental occasion. Buddy Luv informing fans that at an earlier meeting a representative of the mystery CEO announced that the hardcore, X-Division and extreme titles would come together. They were also able to update Michael Lucifer's condition, which was on the rise.

Recent NMW graduate Twisted Sanity raced down to the ring next, head banging his way to the ring, and stopping to examine the crowd before jumping on the turnbuckle to raise some adrenaline. Fellow rookie - the Hurricane - made his way to the ring to the excitement of the fans, as the two squared up in the middle of the ring. Twisted Sanity went on the attack with a hard chop, sending Hurricane into the ropes and taking him down with a high offensive drop kick. The Hurricane sprung back, looking for a spinning heel kick, but Twisted dropped under the attack and caught the super hero on the return with a Japanese arm drag. The Hurricane gathered himself, using the turnbuckle to launch himself at Sanity with a high cross body block. Sanity hooked up looking for a neck breaker, but the Hurricane countered with his finishing move the eye of the hurricane, scoring the pin fall victory. Twisted Sanity sprung up once again, and jumped the top rope, racing to the back.

In their locker rooms the Dark Lotus were looking unhappy. Marz told his partners that he was not going to let the Nomad get away with winning the kumite, as well as his ICWW titles. He said that he was going to take some of the Nomad's cockiness away, by dropping him on his head. Violent J stepped up and told Marz to calm down, because he too understood his pain. He said that Nomad was not down with the clown, but that was okay, because if he was not down with the clown, even though this made him frown, he would find the Nomad and assist Marz with a beat down. Marz looked at his partner strangely, while Shaggy 2 Dope started clapping in time.

In the ring Rockey Rakesh headed down to face Jason Shamrock in scheduled one on one competition. The little fire cracker headed to the ring with his tag team championship, and danced around the middle of the ring before Shamrock raced down. The two tied up, Shamrock finding the early advantage with sharp Thai kicks, knotting up the legs of the tag champ. He tied up with a front face lock, looking for the snap suplex, but the little fire cracker exploded, launching Shamrock with a vertical suplex. He taunted the crowd, and then dropped a big leg on the fallen Shamrock, taking his time to amp it up for the fans before attempting a cover, but only getting a one count. Shamrock jumped to his feet, driving Rakesh to the corner with a series of kicks. Here, Shamrock propped Rockey on the top turnbuckle looking for a frankensteiner, but the fire cracker countered it with a top rope Indian powerbomb! He scored the pin fall, and snatched a microphone from ringside. He said that he was the main bhai in the house and no one could beat him, especially not a man in bright coloured underwear like Jason Shamrock. Shamrock took the mic. and asked Rakesh if he thought he was good enough to defend the tag team titles. Rakesh said he could win the match by himself, and would be glad to put the titles on the line to fool J, and then after he took down J, he would get revenge on Triple H for his bhai!

Backstage Shamrock was retreating when he stopped Statix who was heading to the arena. He asked him if he would be his partner in the tag team championship match, and Statix told him that there were few superstars he respected more, and so he would be glad to partner with him. Violent J shouted from the background that Statix couldn't tag if he was wearing sixteen pairs of underwear and started laughing. Statix asked J exactly what he meant by that, and J told him that it was a threat. Statix looked a little puzzled and J got in his face, saying that if he thought he was going to be Shamrock's partner, he would have to fight him for the position.

In the ring the Nomad entered, carrying his tag team, international and MMAF Grand Kumite prizes. He took a microphone and told the fans that Nomad's were attracted to gold, and he was happy to lead them to the promised land. He said he was glad that he could provide leadership, and kingship to the masses of mindless fans out there. Marz' music interrupted the Nomad as the superstar appeared on stage alone. The Nomad asked him exactly what he thought he was doing, interrupting the grand kumite, tag team, world champion. Marz told the Nomad that he was nothing more than a cheap, lucky excuse for a champion, who wouldn't put over new talent. The Nomad acknowledged this, and offered Marz the tag team title shot with Jason Shamrock, but he said he didn't want any part of that. Marz challenged the Nomad to a world championship match at the next main event, and after careful deliberation the Nomad accepted with a smile, as Marz backed off looking on suspiciously.

Statix hit the ring looking in great shape to face off against Violent J after his challenge. The Y2Juggalo countdown sounded in the arena as Violent J stepped out on stage accompanied by Shaggy 2 Dope. They danced their way down to the ring, before mooning Statix! Statix stepped back looking disgusted as Violent J jumped into the ring, capitalizing with a diving forearm. Statix jumped back, going on the offensive with a spinning heel kick off the ropes. He followed it up with a spinning leg drop, but had his ankle caught by Shaggy 2 Dope from ringside! Statix turned to face Dope, buying Violent J the time he needed to go for a school boy, but only scored a two count. Statix went for a kick but J caught it, giving Statix the opportunity to dazzle with a step over heel kick! With J down Statix went off the ropes, hitting the rolling thunder and then picked him up for a static slam, getting the pin fall.

Tension was high in the arena as Buddy Luv and the Prince were joined by Johnny Begoode at ringside for the hardcore/X-Division/Extreme championship match. Begoode said he was definitely routing for the lady killer, the hitman - Jauger. Loopster made his way to the ring first, carrying both the X-Division and Hardcore championship belts. The sick one mounted the turnbuckle making some noise for the crowd, as the unlikely extreme champion - Jauger headed to the ring. The hitman stood on the stage looking out at all his fans, and blowing them kisses before strutting down to the ring and tossing his hat and sun glasses into the crowd. Loopster went on the attack with a kamikaze clothesline, and continued the motion, going off the other side, but Jauger telegraphed it, with a cane trip! The Hitman continued the assault with savage cane slaps to the back, forcing Loopster to retreat to the outside. He headed to the crowd and grabbed a Hitman fan poster and tore it in half, before stealing a crutch from a fan! Loopster jumped back into the ring and raised his eye brows and laughed, going on the attack with the crutch! Jauger deflected it with his cane, and the Hitman took a fencing stance as Loopster desperately tried to break through. Loopster's frustration culminated, prompting the sick one to throw the crutch aside and take the Hitman down with a spear! The Hitman proceeded to beat down on Jauger with his own cane, when suddenly Johnny Begoode jumped out of his seat and climbed out of the commentary booth! He raced into the ring and attacked Loopster from behind! Suddenly the arena went dark as music kicked up and Dez Burnett raced down to the ring! Burnett grabbed Begoode and tossed him out of the ring, and then hit Jauger with a moonsault! Loopster looked stunned as the rising star told him to make the cover and retreated up the ramp, Loopster crowned the new Extreme champion! The crowd went berzerk as the words 24/7 flashed on the big screen, prompting Loopster to flee through the crowd with his title belts, assuming the very worst as AS came to a shocking end!

ICWW: Civil Action (Apr 15, 2003)

CIVIL ACTION RETURNS!

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION APRIL 15, 2003

Special mention:
Michael Lucifer - paralyzed! The former world champion now faces the greatest obstacle of his career, one he can't pound on!

QUICK RESULTS:
Eric Angle d. Rockey Rakesh
Statix d. Twisted Sanity
[Hardcore/X] - Loopster [c] d. Jason Shamrock [c]
Grand Kumite final - The Nomad d. Marz

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man welcomed fans back to another exciting ICWW show, the return of Civil Action no less! They informed fans of the huge stakes on the show, MMAF Grand Kumite final, and a merging X-Division/hardcore championship bout! Buddy Luv informed fans that Albert Beefcake was also live at the hospital where Michael Lucifer was staying, apparently experiencing paralysis, and they'd cross there later in the night to talk to his doctor, and hopefully Lucifer himself.

Marz headed to the ring, accompanied by Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, looking to have a few words. He told the fans that he was sure they were disappointed IWA was closed, but that they shouldn't fret, because the Dark Lotus were still in the house for their entertainment. Marz then said that he had a hugely entertaining show planned for fans later in the night, and thanked the fans for their support in advance for his Grand Kumite victory. The Nomad's music started and the dual International and Tag Team champion stepped out on stage. He told Marz that he was deluded for thinking he could with the kumite, because this was the new era of the Nomad, and not a soul in the arena could change that, least of all a sad clown. He told the Lotus that they shouldn't worry about their tag team championships because the Nomad was going to keep them company with a whole stack of other gold, so that the Nomad's could stop wandering, and start wondering what their hero would do next, and which gold he would win for them. Marz laughed and told the world champion that things were far from over. A flower power chant ended things.

Eric Angle hit the ring next to face the second tag team champion, the little fire cracker - Rockey Rakesh! Rakesh exploded first with an assault of punches, placing Angle on the back foot, but it didn't last. Angle turned the tables with a fireman's carry, and then a nice leg lock. Rockey fought his way out of the hold and went off the ropes, taking Angle back with a shoulder block, and then looked for the Indian powerbomb, but Angle managed to counter it into a DDT! Angle picked his opponent up for the Angle slam, and finished it with a strong pin fall.

Backstage the heavyweight champion strutted past former ICWW superstar, Banging! Banging told him that what he did at the Dark Carnival was pretty low, and something a heavyweight champion should never do. The game asked him who he was to tell him what to do, and Banging got in his face, informing him that he was a former ICWW heavyweight champion himself. The game laughed and shoved the visiting star aside, heading to his locker room as Banging gazed on.

Albert Beefcake now reporting with Michael Lucifer's doctor live from the hospital. Dr. Jeph informed the Beefer that Lucifer was indeed paralyzed from the waist down. He explained that earlier he had been experiencing some minor tension in his lower back, something not uncommon for large athletes. The trauma sustained from Triple H's sledge hammer attack on the weekend had effectively sent Lucifer's spine into a state of shock. He assured Albert that in very few cases an injury of this sort was permanent, and would likely have no future significance, however for the time being Lucifer would not be able to walk. Albert asked when Lucifer's strength would return, to which he found would depend on his will power. It could take anywhere between two hours, to two years, it really would depend on Lucifer's attitude. The camera man followed Albert into Lucifer's room, where he was sleeping. Gwen Lucifer said he had felt some sensation's in his feet earlier in the day, and he was feeling very positive about a return in the future. Albert then invited Gwen for a break and a cup of old fashion Alaskan java, to which she accepted. Back in the arena Buddy Luv cursed the camera man who left his camera down in the room, and still rolling on a sleeping Lucifer. Stat-Man pointed out the costs.

Unfamiliar theme music hit the arena as a young superstar from the NMW training camp prepared to have his first match in the big leagues. Twisted Sanity raced his way to the ring, surveying the crowd with an eagle eye before getting hyped up. The former hardcore champion raced down to the ring to take on the latest rookie. Statix started the match off fast with a spinning heel kick, but Sanity showed fierce tenacity, going on the offensive with hard knife edged chops. Statix was forced into the corner, where he managed to boot the Twisted superstar back, and climb the second rope, launching himself with a spear takedown! With Sanity wavering, it was academic, Statix finishing it off with the Blood Bomb and a pin. Statix tried to congratulate the young superstar on his performance, but he fled from the ring.

Attention crossed once again to the live feed from Michael Lucifer's hospital bed, where someone appeared to be entering the room. With the lights out and Lucifer sleeping it was difficult to tell who it was, appearing to be a male figure at least. The mystery man could be heard whispering, asking Lucifer if he really thought Triple H was responsible for his recent bad luck. The shadowy figured laughed before exiting the room, as Buddy Luv went wild at the commentators booth. Stat-Man pointed out how smart the ICWW camera crew were.

Johnny Begoode headed to the ring next to sing a song about Llama's, a performance intending to hype the next match, which would see the X-Division and hardcore championship belts come together. Apparently Loopster saw the song unfitting for the unification session, brutally attacking Begoode and stealing his mic.! Loopster said he was getting pretty sick of unification matches, and said if he had a similar result to his last title for title match Begoode was going to hear about it.

Jason Shamrock headed to the ring, the new hardcore champion looking in peak physical condition. The sick one went on the attack first, taking Shamrock down with a diving forearm, and then followed it up with a spinning leg drop. Shamrock climbed to his feet and chopped back at Loopster, driving him back with impressive Thai kicks, and then a huge snap suplex! Loopster rolled to the outside, taking a moment to breathe on his hands and knees, but disappeared beneath the ring! Shamrock became impatient and looked under, taking a trash can to the face for his curiosity! Loopster climbed out and plastered Shamrock with the bin lid, thrashing him left and right, before sending him into the crowd barrier with a hard thrust kick. Shamrock managed to duck another weapon assault, and take Loopster down with a belly to belly suplex! He went for the cover but Loopster kicked out, using the near by trash can to beat him back. Loopster tossed the can, setting Shamrock up for a drop kick to can slam! With Shamrock down, Loopster made the cover! Loopster jumped back in the ring to have his arm raised by the referee, when Johnny Begoode jumped into the ring and joined the celebration. Loopster hugged Begoode and the two laughed, Loopster getting the last laugh with a something factor! Johnny Begoode had to be helped to the back by referees.

Crossing live to the ICWW gym, regular home of the MMAF steel cage! Marz was receiving a pep talk from Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, as the Nomad entered the room, with a big pop in the arena where fans were watching on the big screen. Marz entered the cage first taunting the Nomad who handed his two belts to the referee before stepping into the ominous steel boundaries. They tapped fists, Marz jumping the Nomad from behind as he retreated to his side, taking him down with a hard bulldog! Nomad bounced back furiously, driving Marz into the cage wall with a modified spear, and then went to work with a series of hard kicks to the mid section. Marz backed off, protecting his rib cage from any body rips. The Nomad stalked his opponent once more looking for a crescent kick, but Marz ducked under it, and turned his trajectory mid roll, striking him with a rolling wheel kick. Nomad staggered back, and Marz used the cage to spring himself into the world champ with a plancha style attack! Nomad was on the back foot as Marz looked to clean it up with a blood bomb, but the Nomad managed to counter the move, flipping Marz onto his back with a back body drop! The Nomad picked Marz up and drove him face first into the cage, raking his forehead open. From there Nomad hit the crescent kick and went for a cover, but Marz kicked out! Nomad hooked up with a figure four leg lock looking for a submission win, but Marz managed to reach out to the cage and pull himself, elevating the pressure and applying it back down to the Nomad. They broke the hold and squared up once more, Marz hooking up with a front face lock, but the Nomad managed to counter it into a huge jackhammer. He applied a camel clutch, but Marz kicked out. From there it was a bible black, and Marz was out cold, unable to continue.

The referee raised the Nomad's hand, as Nomad pointed out to the fans through the camera and shouted that he was the world, the tag and the cage champ, which practically made him king of the entire freakin' world. He slung his ICWW belts over his shoulder, and accepted the MMAF trophy as Civil Action went off the air.

ICWW/IWA: Dark Carnival

The crowd was wild in the big top, ready for ICWW/IWA: Dark Carnival, and what a big show! Extreme championship, three falls, X-Division and much more - plus the fate of each brand - IWA and ICWW will be decided in the winner takes all match, with the tag team titles on the line as well!

 

Extreme championship match
Jauger the Hitman (c) d. Tony McTier

The smooth theme for the Hitman Jauger kicked up as the unlikely extreme champion made his way to the ring. He stopped to drop his hat on a young fan's head, and to bow at the ladies, before heading into the squared circle to await his opponent. The wait was short, the big trip McTier wasted no time heading to the ring. Jauger was ready, making McTier earn his nickname with a cane trip! McTier went on the charge with a Mongolian chop, and sent the stunned champ to the corner, where he looked for a big splash, but found nothing but steel! Jauger jumped up top, and took McTier down with a diving neck breaker! Jauger went on the assault once more with a cane attack, finishing it off with a splash and cover.

 

In the ICWW Gym Albert Beefcake was on the scene, reporting on the MMAF cage match planned as the second fall in the best of three falls between Jason Shamrock and Statix. Albo said that if the Grand Kumite was any indication, Jason Shamrock is in fine form, and may very well take the cage match. Rar.

 

Best of three falls - First fall
Jason Shamrock d. Statix

Statix headed to the ring first with his hardcore championship around his waist, the title only on the line if a third hardcore match should be required. Jason Shamrock entered next looking extremely focused, the crowd a mixture of anxious silence, and excited cheering. The two respecting superstars knocked fists and tied up, opening up the three fall action. It was Statix who got the early advantage with a quick succession of neck breakers, and other impact moves, but it wasn't enough to hold back the shooting sensation, Jason Shamrock. Shamrock struck hard with chopping kicks to the mid section, and stinging Thai kicks to the back of the leg. Statix look knotted up as Shamrock hooked up for the belly to belly suplex, but the hardcore champ managed to hold Shamrock back, taking him down with a gut wrench suplex instead. He followed up going off the ropes, but Shamrock spotted it and took him down with a countering drop toe hold, picking him up for the f-five and a cover. Statix nodded in recognition, as Shamrock helped his opponent up and they headed to the gym for the cage match.

 

Backstage Michael and Gwen Lucifer were with Shane Altmann who looked a little concerned. Lucifer told Altmann that Edge had been dodging a bullet for a long time, and he had Gwen to thank for that, but now that it was no longer in her hands, but rather in the hands of ICWW, he would know vengeance. Lucifer admitted he was responsible for putting Gwen in the situation, but it was Edge who was the heathen that obviously followed Triple H's orders, and for that he would know no mercy at his hand. Shane Altmann looked on nervously as the Lucifer's headed off.

 

X-Division Championship match
Loopster (c) d. Chaos Drone (c)

X-Division action next as the joint champions looked to settle exactly who should be the one and true X champion. Chaos Drone headed out first  hyping himself up on the turnbuckle as Loopster skipped his way to the ring. the Drone hopped down to meet his opponent, but Loopster dived over the top rope, scoring a near fall with a cross body block! The Drone jumped to his feet and went off the ropes, taking Loopster down with a spinning heel kick. Chaos followed it up with a nice uranagi, but Loopster wasn't out of it, hitting a drop kick and then following with the something factor! With Chaos Drone down Loopster went upstairs looking for a senton bomb, connecting with authority, and scoring the pin fall for the win.

 

Michael Lucifer d. Edge

Edge headed to the ring with a smile on his face, running straight down and sliding in as the crowd went wild. The wall of fire hit as Michael Lucifer accompanied by his wife made his way down, looking very focused. He stepped over the top rope as Edge went on the charge looking for a spear, but Lucifer telegraphed it with a big boot to the face. Lucifer picked the fallen Edge up and wrapped his hand around his throat with a choke hold, and chokeslammed him flat on the mat, taking a moment to smile to the crowd before picking the already brutalized Edge up once more. Edge struggled to steady himself against the ropes as Lucifer went off the opposite side, taking them both over the top with a clothesline! On the outside Edge once again went for a spear, but Lucifer was an unmoveable sentinel, using the opportunity to pound down on Edge's back and plant him on the outside with a powerbomb! He picked Edge up wit ha press, and tossed him back into the ring where he dropped him with the devil driver, but didn't cover! He shook his head and picked Edge up again, kicking him in the chest and then once again nailing the devil driver in the center of the ring. The Referee got in Lucifer's face, prompting him to drop and make the cover.

 

Suddenly Triple H raced down to the ring with a sledge hammer and caught Lucifer in the back of the knee! Lucifer tried to fight the Game off but it was no use, Triple H busting Lucifer wide open with the handle end of the hammer! With Lucifer down Triple H proceeded to hammer down on Lucifer's back, to the point where he was unconscious and spasming, as Gwen looked on in horror! Commentator Buddy Luv shouted for Triple H to stop, and eventually had enough, heading into the ring and taking Triple H down from behind! The Game and Edge headed up the ramp smiling as paramedics raced down to the ring to assist Lucifer to an ambulance, clearly in a whole world of danger.

 

MMAF cage match - Second fall
Statix d. Jason Shamrock

Buddy Luv expressed his disgust as Stat-Man applauded his efforts, but told him to keep his nose out of it. They flashed to the gym where the second fall MMAF cage match was getting ready to get under way. Shamrock and Statix already in the cage, and warming up after a good break from the first fall. Statix went on the charge, slamming Shamrock back first into the cage, and going on the attack with hard knees and strikes. Shamrock went on the attack with stiff kicks to the mid section, and a Lou Thesz press. The two squared off once more in the middle of the ring, Statix going on the offensive once more with a kamikaze clothesline! He looked for an ankle lock submission, but Shamrock rolled over and kicked his way out. The locked up, Shamrock clearly looking for the belly to belly, but Statix managed to counter the move into the Static Slam! From there, scoring a narrow three count. The arena exploded at the prospect of a third fall, hardcore title on the line, with anything going after a short break.

 

Backstage Gwen Lucifer entered the ambulance with the still unconscious Mike Lucifer inside. The situation still unclear on what the former CEO's condition was. Next the man responsible for the injury, Triple H had to defend his heavyweight championship match against the manimal - Rhyno.

 

Heavyweight Championship match
Rhyno d. Triple H (c)

Rhyno headed to the ring for his first main event match without Bill Alfonzo at his side, an unusual sight for some. He bounced off the ropes awaiting the ceremonial entrance of Triple H. The Game headed to the ring, still carrying his sledge hammer as he stalked down to the ring. The Referee wasted no time trying to remove the weapon from Hunter's custody, but only got a taste of it's power for his troubles! Rhyno was unable to attack fast enough to avoid the same punishment! Triple H assaulted Rhyno with the hammer, but it wasn't enough to keep him back, Rhyno managing to snatch the hammer away and throw it away. Triple H backed off to the corner, where Rhyno went on the attack with a barrage of right, and left punches. Triple H struck back with a toe kick, and took Rhyno down with a knee to the face. He picked Rhyno up and dropped him with a pedigree onto the championship belt. The Referee came around at this point, and refused to make the count, instead disqualifying the Game on the spot! The Game laughed, taking his championship belt and sledge hammer with him as he headed to the locker rooms.

 

Team Extreme were with a roving Albert Beefcake, who asked them how they were feeling about their match. Marz said he admitted that they clearly had the more pressure, with so much more on the line than Rakesh and Nomad. He said not only could they lose their titles, but also their promotion, something Nomad and Rakesh really didn't have to worry about. Violent J interrupted and said that the only thing that really mattered was the fact that they weren't down with the clown. He said after they won, and left in his cart with the JCIWA tag team belts, he would fire Rakesh and Nomad from IWA for not being down with the clown. Marz shook his head as Violent J stormed off shouting, "oooh what a lovely tea party". Albert Beefcake said "rar".

 

Hardcore championship match - Third fall
Jason Shamrock d. Statix (c)

Jason Shamrock and Statix once again made their ways to the ring, the referee taking possession of the hardcore title belt that would be on the line in this final fall. The two clearly fatigued, but still in impressive shape squared off in the ring, smiling at the sudden death atmosphere. They tied up, Shamrock looking for a back body drop, but Statix landed on his feet and went for a spinning heel kick, Shamrock too quick for him though and ducked it! The two squared off again, this time Shamrock getting the better of the mix with a snap suplex. He followed it up with a devastating bridging German suplex, but only got a two fall. Suddenly a familiar theme song echoed in the arena as Josh Heartbrand ran down to the ring with a steel chair! Shamrock caught the rather erroneously titled "number one wrestler" and slammed the chair back into his face with a hard punch! Statix grabbed Heartbrand and picked him up from behind with a waist lock, and dropped him backward, with Shamrock adding to the shove. Heartbrand rolled out of the ring battered, and staggered to the back. Statix looked for the blood bomb, but he didn't have enough in the tank, Shamrock was finally able to hit the belly to belly suplex and score a cover.

 

Shamrock helped Statix up, who raised Shamrock's hand and held the hardcore title around his waist. The two congratulated each other, before helping each other to the back. An impressive conclusion to an impressive on-going feud! The crowd went wild as the two headed up the ramp.

 

Winner takes all Tag Team championship match
Rockey Rakesh & The Nomad d. Violent J & Marz (c)

The big main event match finally arrived as the Y2J countdown started up, signalling the entrance of Team Extreme. The tag team champions rubbed their golden belts, as they headed to the ring. Violent J took a microphone once in the ring and said, "ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. IWA proudly brings to you it's JCW tag team champions of the world - the Y2Juggalo Violent J, the funky dope Marz - Team Extreme! And if you're not down with the clown, we've got two words for yaaa - you suck!"

 

The Nomad's music cut J off as the International champion headed to the ring. He took his belt off and handed it to the referee, while Violent J taunted him. Rockey Rakesh's music blasted into the arena as the crowd went wild! Rakesh raced down to the ring and the action started, the little fire cracker exploding on the Y2Juggalo! Rakesh wasn't letting any talent through the gates as he tagged in the Nomad, and the two double teamed Violent J! The Nomad went to work on Violent J, looking for a spinebuster, but J managed to grab the ropes, and save himself. Marz made a blind tag and climbed the top rope while Nomad sent J into the ropes the opposite side, he took J down with a shoulder block, but turned around right into a top rope spear! Marz tossed the Nomad over the top rope, and got some serious hang time with a plancha! In the ring Rakesh and J went at it, with J taking Rakesh down with a jump swinging DDT, and then locking in the walls of juggalo! The referee broke up the hold, and sent them back to their corners as Marz and Nomad returned, Marz tagging in Violent J. J took Nomad down with a swinging neck breaker, and then locked up for the psycho flip, but the Nomad countered it, spewing the red myst at the Y2Juggalo! Nomad managed to make the tag, and the little fire cracker opened a can, racing over the Marz and knocking him flat on his back, and then dropping Violent J with the Indian powerbomb! With Marz climbing back to the ring Rockey raced over to the edge and smacked him down with the 619! He jumped back and covered J, scoring the three count!

 

The crowd went berserk as an ICWW chant started up! Rakesh grabbed his tag team belt and jumped onto the turnbuckle, flashing it to the crowd as they went wild! The new tag champs paraded around the ring to each turnbuckle, showing off their belts, as Team Extreme collected themselves on the outside looking shocked. Once again the ICWW spirit prevailed, this time against the cocky IWA general managers!

ICWW: Aftershock (Apr 11, 2003)

MMAF GRAND KUMITE IN SWING

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK APRIL 11, 2003

Special mention:
Jason Shamrock was in his element, falling to the Nomad but participating in some of the closest matches in Kumite history!

QUICK RESULTS:
Statix d. Loopster
The Nomad d. Jauger
The Nomad d. Michael Lucifer
Jason Shamrock d. Statix
Tony McTier d. The Hurricane
The Nomad d. Jason Shamrock
Banging d. Rockey Rakesh

The crowd was pumped as Buddy Luv, Stat-Man and special guest commentator, Takashi Yorikana welcomed fans to the ICWW arena. Excitement was imminent for the special MMAF Grand Kumite V special of ICWW Aftershock. Particularly seeing the ominous MMAF steel cage in the middle of the arena, instead of the gym where it is usually located. The crowd was wild as Statix/Loopster was announced!

The only former grand kumite champion in the mix, Statix was certainly a prospect for the match against Loopster going in. The ICWW X-Division champion put out a poor effort, and eventually copped out, revealing an illegal stick weapon from his trousers and using it to brutalize Statix. Loopster was booed out of the arena more than ever, as the cage was opened and he was sent away. Statix the winner.

The Nomad hit the ring next to face off against the worldly Jauger, who stopped to hand a rose to someone in the crowd before entering the MMAF cage. Not having any cage experience, the Hitman certainly look out of his elements. The Nomad didn't take him without a fight, but in the end it was the Nomad taking the extreme champ.

The Nomad remained in the cage for his second round clash, having had such a fast match against Jauger at under four minutes. Michael Lucifer headed to the cage, with a rank of third behind him, the Nomad fourth. The two battled it out, Lucifer taking Nomad down with submissions repeatedly, obviously looking for the bonus points. The Nomad was lucky enough to score a quick rollover, and take the fall.

Another second round clash ready to take place as rivals Statix and Jason Shamrock prepared to duke it out in the cage. To most this served as a preview of things to come at the Dark Carnival. Shamrock was able to take the hardcore champion down in a lengthy seven minute match, the two shook hands before heading away.

Tony McTier and rookie the Hurricane squared off in the many-sided cage next for their first round encounter. The Hurricane gave it a good effort, storming into control early on, but McTier managed to use what little experience he had over the rookie to take away the win, and advance to the second round of the Grand Kumite.

The Nomad and Jason Shamrock returned for their semi-final clash, the winner getting the first grand final seat in the house. The two went in hard, Shamrock looking for the submission points as he did with Statix, but with a lot less luck. The Nomad managed to surprise Shamrock and roll him up early on. Shamrock and the fans clearly disappointed, particularly with a submission match in their history.

Finally Banging and Rockey Rakesh were up for their first round match in the lower half of the table. Rakesh certainly had a commanding start, using his boxing skills to great advantage, but Banging had the ability to strike an impressive come back.

ICWW: Aftershock rounded up, with the Dark Carnival just next week Buddy Luv reminded fans to tune in, and until then enjoy their weekend!

IWA: Injustice (Apr 8, 2003)

THE FINAL ACT OF INJUSTICE?

IWA: INJUSTICE APRIL 08, 2003

QUICK RESULTS:
Hardcore - Jason Shamrock d. Tony McTier
Michael Lucifer d. Marz
Rockey Rakesh d. Triple H
Violent J d. Edge
The Nomad d. Rhyno

Lotus and El Jobbo welcomed everyone to what may be the last Injustice. El Jobbo informed everyone that Gargoyle was out on injury, and that they are not yet sure how long he'll be expected to be gone.

Tony Mctier, the extreme title number one contender made his way to the ring to face off against Jason Shamrock, the hardcore title number one contender, in a hardcore rules match. Tony Mctier searched under the ring, and grabbed some weapons, throwing them into the ring. Jason Shamrock ran down the ramp and into the ring eager to get the match started. Jason Shamrock delivered some hard boots to the gut of Tony Mctier, then whipped him into the ropes. Tony Mctier came back, taking Jason Shamrock down with a scissors kick. Jason Shamrock grabbed a trash can lid, then sprung up, planting it in Tony Mctier's face. Jason Shamrock then picked up a trashcan, and set it up in the turnbuckles. Jason Shamrock then helped Tony Mctier to his feet, but Tony Mctier delivered a low blow. Tony Mctier then attempted to whip Jason Shamrock into the trashcan, but Jason Shamrock reversed it, and Tony Mctier went flying into the can. Tony Mctier stumbled towards the center of the ring, where Jason Shamrock finished the match with a nice belly to belly suplex and a cover.

Backstage Marz was standing in the hall with Rockey Rakesh. Marz commented to Rockey that it didn't look like Gwen was really loyal to Mick. Rockey asked Marz what he was talking about, and Marz told Rockey that on aftershock Gwen and Triple H were getting a bit too friendly, and then began to laugh. Rockey told Marz that on Aftershock Triple H came to Gwen's locker room, where he kicked Triple H's ass for her, but that was the only time he's seen him. Marz turned around embarrassed and bumped into Michael Lucifer, who heard the disgraceful things that MArz had said about his wife. Michael Lucifer and Marz stared each other down, and Michael Lucifer said he'd be seeing Marz in the ring later on in the night, before walking away.

Violent J approached Rhyno and told him he needed him to take out The Nomad for him. Rhyno asked Violent J what was in it for him, and Violent J promised Rhyno a shot at the heavy weight title at Dark Carnival, if he took on The Nomad in a match tonight. Rhyno agreed, and the two parted ways.

Marz made his way to the ring for his match against Michael Lucifer. A wall of fire covered the stage, and Michael Lucifer made his way down to the ring. Marz hit Michael Lucifer with hard rights and lefts, but Lucifer just shook it off, and grabbed Marz around the neck for a choke slam. Marz fought out, kicking Michael Lucifer in the stomach, then took him down with a neck breaker. Marz picked Michael Lucifer up to his feet only to get pushed back into the ropes, and then received a big boot, sending him over the top rope, hitting his face on the canvas on the way down. Michael Lucifer looked over the ropes at Marz, then turned around only to get taken down with a spear by Edge, getting Marz disqualified. Edge made his way backstage, with both Marz and Michael Lucifer down and out.

Violent J stopped Edge backstage, and congratulated him on taking down Michael Lucifer. Edge thanked Violent J, then Violent J told him that he was happy for him getting the advantage over Lucifer, but he picked the wrong time to do it. Violent J then told Edge that no one interferes in the Dark Lotus' business, and that he'd have to teach him a lesson later on in the ring. Edge walked away from Violent J, and Violent J let out an 'ooooooooh what a lovely tea party.'

Triple H made his way down to the ring in hopes of getting some revenge on Rockey Rakesh in a one on one match. Rockey Rakesh made his way down to the ring with the fans really showing their support. Rockey began the match by delivering hard slaps to Triple H, then whipped him into the ropes and took him down with a dropkick. Rockey then jumped to the top ropes and went for a cross body block as Triple H got up, but Triple H caught him and hit him with a suplex. Triple H got up and began to stomp away at Rockey, before picking him up onto his shoulders. Rockey slipped off behind Triple H and ran off the ropes, hitting Triple H with a dropkick to the back. Triple H fell onto the second rope, and Rockey hit the 619. Rockey then went for the cover but Triple H threw him off. Triple H got to his feet quickly, and kicked Rockey in the gut, locking his arms in pedigree position, but Rockey managed to power out, sling-shotting Triple H into the turnbuckle. Triple H rebounded off, turned around right into the Indian Powerbomb as Rockey covered for the three.

Edge made his way down to the ring next, to take on Violent J. The Y2Countdown began and Violent J backed down to the ring in his VIP cart, holding his JCW title. Violent J got in the ring, and began the assault on Edge, throwing wild punches, and backing him up into the corner of the ring. Violent J then grabbed Edge by the chin and slapped him across the chest, letting out a giant 'whooooo!' Edge fought back, charging Violent J into the opposite turnbuckle, then delivering hard shoulders to his mid section. Edge then backed up and signaled for the spear, but Violent J saw it coming and moved out of the way just in time, making Edge run into the steel post. Violent J then grabbed Edge and hit the Psycho Flip in the center of the ring, scoring the cover and wrapping the match up.

Backstage Violent J, Marz, and the mystery clown were in the office, making plans on how to finish off The Nomad, when Rockey Rakesh barged in. The mystery clown got up and plowed Rockey into the wall. The mystery clown told Rakesh that Shaggy 2 Dope was in the house, and not to forget it. Shags then threw Rakesh out of the office, and the Dark Lotus laughed.

Rhyno made his way down to the ring to take on The Nomad. The Nomad ran down to the ring and slid in, delivering punches to Rhyno, then whipped him into the ropes and followed up with a spinebuster slam. The Nomad helped Rhyno to his feet, only to receive an elbow to the gut followed by a sequence of hard boots. The Nomad grabbed Rhyno by the neck and threw him into the turnbuckle. The Nomad then speared Rhyno in the corner, and followed up with a Bible Black. With Rhyno in dire need of help, Violent J ran into the ring, but The Nomad took him down with a big boot. The Nomad watched Violent J roll out of the ring then turned around and saw Rhyno coming in time to dodge his Gore, and hit another Bible Black followed by a cover and the three count.

Marz and a debuting Shaggy 2 Dope both ran down the ramp and into the ring and began to deliver punches to The Nomad, then took him down with a double DDT. Marz grabbed a mic, saying that Shaggy 2 Dope was one of the masked men last week, and the final member will be revealed soon enough. He then handed the mic to Shaggy, who said he no longer needed to hide, and that the Dark Lotus cloud is now sweeping over the IWA/ICWW alliance. Violent J told Shaggy and Marz to hold Nomad on his knees, and wrapped a chain around his fist. Suddenly, Rockey Rakesh and Michael Lucifer both ran down the ramp! The two slid into the ring and went on the attack on Marz and Shaggy 2 Dope, and The Nomad took offense on Violent J, forcing the Dark Lotus to retreat to the outside of the ring. Injustice went off the air with The Dark Lotus exchanging words with Lucifer, Nomad, and Rakesh.

The crowd was wild as ICWW: Aftershock kicked off, chants of Harley filling the arena. Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were psyched with Dark Carnival only a week away, and the IWA general managers, seen entering the arena grounds just moments ago! Plus a new ICWW superstar was in the house - none other than the Hurricane!

Chris Jericho's music started up as the king of the world headed to the ring. He took to the microphone, telling the fans to shut up. He said he wasn't a fan of motorcycles, and he wasn't a fan of Loopster or Chaos Drone. Jericho asked why there were two X-Division champions, when he was better than both of them! Loopster stepped out to answer the challenge, saying that if Jericho was trying to get a shot at Loopster, then he'd have to prove he deserved it first.

Jericho was ready for Loopster in the ring, welcoming him with hard boots, and then sent him into the ropes, stopping him still with a stinging chop. Jericho worked Loopster into the corner with chops, and then looked to head up top for a suplex. Loopster fought back and managed to counter the suplex, and followed up with a top rope leg drop! The X-Division champ scored a near fall, and picked Jericho up for the something factor! Jericho managed to power out of it and dropped Loopster with a face jam, and then went off the ropes looking for the Lionsault, but Loop avoided it! With Jericho staggering in pain Loopster hit the something factor, and rolled up.

Backstage Michael Lucifer was in his locker room with Gwen Lucifer. The Nomad entered and stood in front of Lucifer, staring up at him. Lucifer put his arm back toward his wife and asked the Nomad what it was he wanted. The Nomad asked Lucifer if he would help him out later in the night, because he wanted to make a point to Team Extreme. Lucifer said the Nomad wasn't very high on his list since the last time he extended the olive branch, but he could call a favor. The two stepped out, and Lucifer told Gwen to lock the door and not let anyone in.

A familiar theme not heard in the ICWW arena for quite some time hit, as the self proclaimed number one strutted his way down to the ring. Heartbrand said that he had returned because he recognised that ICWW was number one, and he belonged there. He said that last time he was in town, he took care of the Nomad, who was now the international champion, something he considered a sad fact. He said that as the number one performer in the game, he should be the champion. Jason Shamrock stepped out at the entrance way looking a little displeased. He asked Heartbrand who he thought he was, because as far as he was concerned he was one disgrace. Shamrock declared that Heartbrand wasn't anywhere near being number one, which was why he was back, and why he would probably be leaving in less than a week. Heartbrand looked shocked, and asked Shamrock if he could back his words up.

Shamrock stepped into the ring, and the two began circling like sharks. A tie up saw Heartbrand get in the first shot with a knee to the stomach, but Shamrock returned the strike with stinging Thai kicks. They tied up again, this time Shamrock managed to hit the overhead belly to belly suplex, sending Heartbrand straight back on his head! Shamrock went on the offensive once more, stomping away on the fallen stuperstar. Heartbrand slipped to the outside to take a breath, before rolling back in and taking Shamrock down with a running knee lift. Heartbrand tied Shamrock up with a Texas cloverleaf, but found himself on the reversal end of the hold. Heartbrand fought his way to the ropes, but couldn't compete with the power of a Shamrock bridging German suplex, Heartbrand went down for the three. As Shamrock celebrated, Heartbrand slipped out of the ring and retrieved a steel chair, using it to assault Shamrock from behind! Making the save was none other than the hardcore champion - Statix! He fought Heartbrand off, forcing him to retreat. Statix took a microphone and told Shamrock that he didn't need to worry about Heartbrand, because he was without honor. Statix said that he had learned a lot about honor from Jason Shamrock over the past months, and thought it would be fair to have a final deciding match to see who could come out on top. He proposed a best of three falls match, featuring matches that they were both becoming well known for. Shamrock nodded and the two shook hands as the crowd went wild.

Backstage Triple H headed toward Michael Lucifer's locker room with a smirk on his face, and produced a voice changing unit. He knocked on the door and used it to ask Gwen Lucifer to let him in! She unlocked the door and it opened, and much to everyone's surprise the heavyweight champion was pulled into the room!

Tony McTier made his way to the ring and bounced off the ropes, waiting for his opponent who was none other than the Hurricane! The real life superhero made his way to the ring. McTier went on the attack with a stiff neck breaker, taking a moment to taunt to the crowd. The Hurricane returned the favour with a spinning neck breaker, and followed up with a big leg drop. McTier was on the back foot as the Hurricane continued the assault with an Irish whip, and took him down with a spinning heel kick. With McTier down the rookie hero went upstairs, but McTier recovered and hit the top rope, causing the Hurricane to lose his balance. From there McTier was able to press slam the hero from the top rope, leaving him open for the pin fall.

Backstage Team Extreme were sitting in the offices talking about the attack on Injustice. J said that he bet the Nomad was down with the clown now, after they made him look like an April fool with some help from a couple of their boys from the hood. Marz laughed and said that if Nomad thought he had felt the half of it, he didn't know what was coming! The Nomad burst in the door suddenly greeted with a, "oooh what a lovely tea party" from Violent J. The Nomad told J he didn't care about his stupid catch phrases and he didn't care about Team Extreme. Marz asked the Nomad if they needed to get his attention again, and Nomad said they could do one better than that, Nomad then challenged Team Extreme to a match at Dark Carnival, with winner takes all rules. If he and a partner can beat them, ICWW wins, if they win, IWA wins. Team Extreme laughed and said they'd even put their tag titles on the line, Nomad became flustered, and said that if they were so confident, why don't they put the tag titles on the line later in the night in a friendly match of sorts. Marz laughed.

Matt Hardy version 1.0 headed to the ring next taking a microphone. He said that IWA was sucking the Mattitude out of him. He and his little buddy Shannon Moore had planned to attend Aftershock last week, and continue their question for the tag team championships, but they got jumped when leaving the Injustice and couldn't make it. Mattitude said that Shannon was still recovering, and was afraid to return to work! He then turned his attention to Statix, the man who took his hardcore championship. He said of all the people that sapped his Mattitude, Statix was highest on his list. Statix stepped out at the entrance way with his hardcore championship, and told Hardy that he needed to give the whole Mattitude crap a rest. Hardy said if it was all just crap, he should put the hardcore championship on the line right then and there. Statix tapped his title and said he'd be happy to do that, but he'd already promised to put it on the line in a very special match at Dark Carnival, but he would fight him.

Statix raced to the ring and jumped the top rope, inadvertently taking Hardy down! Hardy sprung back up, looking for a clothesline, but Statix ducked under it and went off the other side, taking him down with a kamikaze. Hardy recovered and took Statix down with a swinging neck breaker, following with a series of stomping kicks. The Hardcore champ clambered to his feet, and the two tied up, Hardy taking him down with a gut wrench suplex. Hardy followed with a leg drop and went for a cover, but only got one. Statix fought back, but Hardy took him down with a drop kick. Hardy climbed to the second rope and hit the guillotine leg drop! He went for the cover but somehow Statix kicked out! Hardy picked him up for a twist of fate, but Statix managed to counter the move, and hit the blood bomb, making the cover!

The Y2Juggalo countdown sounded in the arena as Team Extreme made their way down to the ring! The crowd was wild as Violent J and Marz headed down to the ring. J took to the mic. and sounded, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages - JCW proudly brings to you, it's ICWW, tag team champions of the world the Y2Juggalo Violent J, the mad chick magnet Marz - Team Extreme!" The antics could go no further as the Nomad's theme music started up. The International champion raced down to the ring and the action started straight away, the Nomad driving Marz out of the ring, and then going to the corner with Violent J! The Y2Juggalo could do nothing as the Nomad went on the attack with a barrage of punches and kicks, finishing off with a nice judo flip! Marz jumped into the ring, and the double team assault began when suddenly a blast of fire hit the entrance way and the dominating figure of Michael Lucifer started toward the ring. Marz slipped out to meet Lucifer, while J continue the assault on the Nomad with a hard DDT! Marz attempted a spear takedown, but Lucifer didn't go down, using it to powerbomb Marz on the outside! Lucifer picked Marz up and dragged him to the ring, slamming him face first into the apron, and then he rolled him into the ring. The Referee forced Marz to his own corner, but J blind tagged him in. The Nomad slammed Marz down with a wild crescent kick and went for the cover, Violent J making the save. He picked the Nomad up and looked for a neck breaker, but Nomad countered with a take down and slammed down with hard punches on Marz. The Nomad dragged the tag champ to his corner and tagged in the big man, who took him down with a big boot to the face! Lucifer locked up for a chokeslam on Marz, but J jumped into the ring and slammed him from behind with an axe handle smash. The Nomad tried to enter but the referee would not let him in, leaving Team Extreme to continue the double team assault! J held him in a full nelson as Marz went to the top rope looking for a missile drop kick, but Lucifer managed to duck out of the way leaving J to take the huge kick! Lucifer went for a roll up, but only got a two count once the referee saw it. Lucifer tagged in Nomad who went to work on Violent J, hitting the red myst, but too close to their corner, allowing Violent J to tag in Marz. Marz went for a crescent kick but the Nomad ducked it and hit the bible black! Suddenly a clown from the crowd jumped the guard rail and stormed the ring, breaking the pin along with Violent J! Marz went for the cover, while the two other clowns held Michael Lucifer at bay, Marz scoring the rather controversial win.

Suddenly Edge ran down to the ring with a baseball bat and joined the clowns in beating down on the Nomad and Lucifer! Rockey Rakesh and Gwen Lucifer raced down to the ring looking to make the save, but Rakesh was knocked flat by Violent J! Edge approached Gwen and she slapped him, to which he grinned smugly at. Lucifer threw the mystery clown off, and brutally attacked Edge from behind, Lucifer slammed Edge down with a chokeslam, while the Nomad took Marz down with the bible black! Lucifer pulled the ropes open for his wife, and rushed her toward the back, leaving Rockey Rakesh and the Nomad to survey the damage as Aftershock went off the air, after an explosive ending!
