ICWW: The Reckoning

Sunday June 08, 2003 - ICWW: RECKONING RESULTS:
Fans were pumped as the Reckoning music sounded through the arena, the big main event finally arriving. Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were in the commentary booth, ready for all the excitement, discussing the matches in depth. Of course the world title on the line in a table match between The Nomad, and current champion - Marz, who had been rather evasive in recent weeks. Rockey Rakesh had to defend to his buddy Violent J for the world title, plus some great tag team action and the spirit of vengeance, Michael Lucifer, finally getting his shot at Triple H in the cage!
 
Dez Burnett versus Bill Goldberg
Proceedings kicked off with a surprise one on one encounter between Dez Burnett and Bill Goldberg. Burnett kicked things off, going to work on Goldberg straight up with a big flying head scissors. The jackhammer wasn't ready to go down just yet, striking back at Burnett with hard right hands, and then unleashed a hard Irish whip into the corner. Goldberg looked to continue the assault with shots to the gut, but out of nowhere Burnett pulled out the reserves and took Goldberg down with a swinging hurracanrana! The two were down but Burnett made it to his feet first, climbing up top once again to hit the moonsault. He had to steady himself, giving Goldberg time enough to prepare himself, as he somehow caught Burnett mid-air, and countered with a stalling jackhammer! He scored the three count.
Winner: Bill Goldberg
 
Backstage Michael Lucifer was strapping his wrists with Gwen Lucifer looking nervous. Gwen told him that she wasn't happy about the match, and didn't want Lucifer to go ahead with it. Lucifer turned to his wife and told her that there was nothing to worry about. He said that he'd fully recovered from his injury, and there was nothing Triple H could throw at him that he wasn't ready for. Gwen looked up at Lucifer through concerned eyes and said that it wasn't him she was worried about. Lucifer smiled grimly, and kissed his wife on the forehead before telling her that nature had to take it's course, and she shouldn't fret.
 
Tag Team match
The Pacific Connection versus The Suck Squad

Oozaru and Banging made their way to the ring to a huge ovation. The Connection in their first official tag team outing since reforming weeks ago. The Suck Squad entered with a slightly less spectacular entrance, the crowd chanting "you suck" as the two superstars stumbled their way nervously to the ring. Loopster and Chaos Drone argued over who should start in the ring, Loopster lost the argument. He gazed over at Oozaru, who looked extremely smug. Loopster went off the ropes looking to kick it off, but found himself on the receiving end of a big boot to the face. Oozaru picked him up, and planted him with a big full nelson bomb, before tagging in Banging. The Booker tied up with Loopster, and hit the Kiwi bomb! Banging tagged back to Oozaru before climbing the turnbuckle, and dropping the big double elbow! Oozaru scooped Loopster up for the lag buster, and made the quick cover.
Winner: Oozaru & Banging, the Pacific Connection
 
Hardcore championship challenge
Enter the Statix! The green sparklers shot up at the entrance as the hardcore sensation made his way to the ring for the hardcore championship challenge. He waited in the ring for a challenger, when suddenly someone jumped out of the crowd! Buddy Luv was baffled, but Stat-Man recognized the man as none other than Devon "Crowbar" Storm! Crowbar slid into the ring and the match was on, Statix beating on him stiff forearm shots to the head before sending him off the ropes, using the momentum for an inventive monkey flip in the middle of the ring! Storm rolled to the outside and fished out a chair, looking to use it as a weapon, but Statix predicted it, and countered with a jumping side kick, sending the chair back into Storm! Statix went for a cover, but only scored a two count as he sent Storm into the ropes, but found himself on the receiving end of a spinning heel kick. Storm continued the come back assault, hitting the rolling thunder! Statix kicked out of the cover quickly, but found himself in a front face lock, into a front suplex. Storm again went to the outside and found a crowbar! This gave Statix time enough to recover, dodge the crowbar attack and hit the Static Slam! He scored the three count on Storm, when suddenly Jason Shamrock raced down from the back! He dropped Statix with a belly to belly suplex, and scored the pin fall cover! He stomped down on Statix, and clamped down with the ankle lock before leaving with the title.
Winner: Jason Shamrock, new Hardcore champion
 
In the back Paul Heyman was with Violent J, preparing for the match later in the night. He told Violent J that it was here, and it was glorious. Heyman told him that tonight would be the night that the Y2Juggalo would reign supreme, and finally take the grand heavyweight championship, but not only would he do that, he would show the world how a true champion acted. He would show the world that he wasn't just a joke, just some clown, he was a threat to all in the ICWW. Violent J let out a big, "oooh what a lovely title party!" Shaggy 2 Dope crept up behind and asked Heyman if he could help him get a match. Heyman whispered to Violent J that he would take care of this, and then told Shaggy he had organizes a match for him with two mystery opponents, and so he should just head out to the ring.
 
Triple Threat match
Shaggy 2 Dope versus Marc Scott versus Pagan Freak

Shaggy 2 Dope wandered his way down to the ring looking like a curious cat as he awaited the entrance of his opponents. The crowd was stunned to find Marc "Ironize" Scott walk down the aisle with a smug grin on his face as the announcer called that it would be a triple threat match. Ironize took to his corner, when the Pagan Freak made his way to the ring in another shock entry! The three squared off in a three way tie-up, Shaggy and Scott thumped Pagan Freak aside, and went at it, Scott unloading with an outstanding drop kick! Ironize approached to continue the beat down with hard right hands to the head, but they had no effect on Shaggy who shook his head and started to clap up! When he was clapped up to the max he blocked the punches coming from Scott, and laid him out with a big scoop slam, and hit the ropes, only to be taken down by Pagan Freak with a hard clothesline. The Freak went for a cover, but only scored a one count as Shaggy kicked out. Freak sent him off the ropes, applying a sleeper hold to the Juggalo, only to have it broken as Marc Scott recovered, taking both men down with a running attack. Scott stomped down on the Freak, but was surprised from behind by Shaggy 2 Dope with a school boy, but he kicked out at two. Scott rolled to the outside, as Pagan Freak and Shaggy 2 Dope tied up once more. Shaggy found the upper hand, slamming his opponent down with a modified atomic drop. Scott spun 2 Dope around, only to find himself on the receiving end of the psycho flip! Shaggy was turned around again, this time by Pagan Freak, who pushed out of the psycho flip hold and hit the Ritual! Pagan Freak made the cover with a lateral press.
Winner: Pagan Freak
 
Heavyweight Championship match
Rockey Rakesh (c) versus Violent J

The Y2Juggalo, Violent J, paced his way to the ring slowly as his manager Paul Heyman continued to hold onto his shoulder, whispering advice. The crowd was high for Violent J, but they hit the ceiling as the Little Fire cracker, and current champion - Rockey Rakesh made his entrance! Rakesh handed over the belt and shook hands with Violent J before the match got underway. They tied up, Rakesh getting the early break with a counter for a DDT! The fire cracker was on for the title, going upstairs and connecting with a big top rope moonsault! Rakesh allowed time for Y2J to make it to his feet, and went off the ropes, Violent J ducked it, and managed to swing around Rakesh on the way back looking for a belly to back suplex, but Rakesh flipped over and landed on his feet! Violent J locked up and didn't fail with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Rakesh was a little staggered by the impact, but still managed to hit the Indian powerbomb! Violent J was starting to look desperate, as he hit a low blow! Rakesh was hunched over clearly in pain, but wide open for Violent J to hit the scissors kick and then a J-arooni! Rakesh staggered up to his feet and walked right into the psycho flip, seeing Violent J roll the champ up, and get the clean three count! Rakesh joined Heyman in raising Violent J's hand as the crowd went wild, finally seeing J reach the top! The Fire Cracker took to the microphone and said that he was happy that if he was to lose, he would lose to his bhai Violent J. He then smiled and said that he wanted the first rematch for the title. Celebrations continued to the backstage area, with the crowd on their feet!
Winner: Violent J, new Heavyweight champion
 
The Steel Cage lowered as images of the past feud between Triple H and Michael Lucifer had developed. Footage from their first encounter for the IWA Heavyweight championship match, up until the shocking attack after Lucifer was victorious against Edge at End of Infinity, when he was paralyzed! The footage ended with Michael Lucifer saying Triple H could no longer run, or hide. Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were pretty psyched about the match, as well as what was coming up. They said that there was a lot riding on the tag team championship match, and plus the International title, which could go either way in the table match, where the Nomad likes to put his opponents through hell.
 
Steel Cage match
Michael Lucifer versus Triple H

Triple H entered the cage early, so that it would come down around, as he stared up at the towering construction, the wall of hell fire hit the entrance, prompting Triple H to jump out of his skin! The intimidating form of a spirit of vengeance stomped his way to ringside, staring through dark eyes at his target. Lucifer entered the cage through the door and it was on, Triple H going to meet him with hard right hands. The game shot Lucifer into the ropes, catching him with a knee to the face, and went straight for the nearest turnbuckle to climb out. Lucifer caught him on top, and dropped him down with a reverse Death Valley driver! Lucifer continued the attack, dragging Triple H by his hair, grinding his face into the unforgiving steel mesh of the walls of the cage! Lucifer dragged his face around the entire cage, before picking him up for a chokeslam! Suddenly Bill Goldberg ran down to the ring and burst his way through the cage door! Lucifer grabbed him by the throat on the apron and dragged him over the top rope into the ring! Goldberg was on the offensive, and managed to take Lucifer down with the spear! Triple H crawled out of the pool of his own blood to one of the corners, and used it to steady himself, before struggling with it. He tore away at it, pulling a sledge hammer that had been taped to the opposite side of it, and stared straight into it's head! Lucifer dropped Goldberg with a stiff back breaker and turned his attentions to Triple H. Lucifer smiled and charged straight at him, taking him down with a big boot to the face before the stunned Triple H even knew it. The spirit of vengeance was apparent as he picked the sledge hammer up, and brought it crashing down upon the game's left knee. Goldberg did his best to scramble up the cage to escape, but while Helmsley struggled with his knee, vengeance turned it's attention to Goldberg, bringing him crashing down to the mat from the top of the cage with a belt tug. Lucifer stepped in between the two bloody men, and grabbed them by the throats, dragging them to standing, and then brought them crashing down once again with a double chokeslam! Lucifer raised his arms in ceremonious fashion, only to drop both elbows down upon the two men's chests! Lucifer dragged triple H to the cage door with him, and stepped out, but as the bell sounded he brought the door crashing down on Triple H's knee repeatedly, before stalking his way to the back.
Winner: Michael Lucifer
 
Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were stunned by the severity of the match. They were quick to change topic. As the cage was raised, and the blood was cleaned from the ring highlights of the tag team tournament were shown, plus footage of the singles battles between tag team champions, and the contenders. Buddy Luv and Stat-Man spoke briefly about the excitement surrounding the tag team division at the current moment in ICWW, and also about the International championship match in the headlining slot after, featuring no holds barred table match rules. The match the Nomad is known for!
 
Tag Team Championship match
Rhyno & Chris Benoit (c) versus The Hurricane & Matt Hardy

Hurricane and Hardy made their way to the ring first ready to have their first opportunity at tag team gold. Rhyno and Benoit strolled to the ring with their respective tag titles over a shoulder, looking rather smug. Benoit and Matt Hardy started the match off, locking horns in a strong tie up. Eventually Benoit broke the hold, and the two exchanged chops, Benoit gaining the advantage and pressing Hardy into the ropes. Hardy took Benoit down with a side effect, and made the tag to Hurricane, who went straight to work with big right hands. Rhyno jumped into the ring and fell victim to the tough shots as well. Both Hardy and Hurricane sent their man into the ropes and both took them down with a hip toss! Hurricane continued to work on Benoit, stomping down and then going upstairs for a senton bomb, but Benoit rolled aside! The two men lay flat on the mat, before each made the tag! Rhyno took Hardy down with a big gore! He went for the cover, but Hurricane managed to dig deep down and break the count. Rhyno picked Hardy up and tied up with a front face lock looking for a suplex perhaps, but Hardy countered into the twist of fate! Suddenly Oozaru and Banging raced down to the ring and started attacking both teams! The six man tussle erupted into an out of control melee, forcing the referee to call a no contest.
Winner: No Contest, still tag team champions - Rhyno and Chris Benoit
 
International Championship Table match
Marz (c) versus The Nomad

The Nomad made his way to the ring first, dragging a folded table with him down to the ring, which was already surrounded with folded trestles. The International champion stamped his way to the ring to his theme song, but didn't enjoy it for long, the Nomad running out to meet him at the entrance. Nomad struck down with stiff shots, and jammed Marz face first onto the outside with a bulldog! Nomad dragged a couple of tables and tossed them into the ring. Marz recovered and jumped Nomad from behind with an axe handle smash, and shoved him into the ring. Nomad went off the ropes, looking for a running knee, but Marz dropped to the ground, and took him over with a Japanese arm drag. Marz turned his attention to the tables, looking to end the match early as possible, but the Nomad was up and tapped Marz on the shoulder, spraying the red myst in his face when he turned around! Nomad set up a table in the corner, and then turned his attention back to Marz, dropping him with a big falcon arrow! With Marz down Nomad once again went to the tables, taking the second one in the ring and setting it up on top of the other! With two tables on top of one and other in the corner, Marz hit Nomad down south from behind with a low blow! Nomad keeled over giving Marz time to gather himself on the outside, and pull a taser out from under the ring! Marz slid back into the ring, looking to use the taser, but the Nomad was ready and zapped him with the electrical charge, when suddenly an unfamiliar theme song sounded in the arena, and The Rock raced down the aisle, and made the save, taking Nomad down with the Rock Bottom! With Marz stunned and leaning against the turnbuckle, the Rock went off the ropes twice and dropped the people's elbow on Nomad! He then slapped Marz across the face and pointed to the Nomad, beckoning him to put him through the two tables! Marz staggered over to the Nomad, and hoisted him up with a powerbomb, driving him straight through two tables, allowing him to remain the International champion. 
Winner: Marz, still International champion
 
The Rock retreated whilst abusing the front row fans, as he made his way up the aisle, with Marz standing in the ring, still the International champion, as ICWW: Reckoning came to a shocking end.
