ICWW: Breaking Point (2004)

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were on their feet as the crowd went off for Breaking Point!
They were very excited about the match ups of the night, each showcasing some of the most brutal feuds in ICWW history. Marz/Oozaru, Rock/Nomad, Ortiz/Shamrock, and then the bad blood less travelled. The Y2Juggalo, Violent J getting his first shot at the International championship in a ladder match. They exchanged predictions before having roving reporter Gregory Helms come to them live from the back with Albert Beefcake. The Beefer having the night off shared his views, before Violent J approached. J asked them both to produce their ID tags, to make sure they were authorized to be within viewing distance of the Y2Juggalo. J triple checked the tags before heading to the back, leaving Albert and Gregory with odd looks on their faces.

 

Statix as special guest referee
Tito Ortiz versus Jason Shamrock
Statix made his way to the ring to decide his fate later in the night, whichever winner's hand he would raise to get a at his heavyweight crown. Once in the ring Ortiz and Shamrock wasted no time going at it, Ortiz attacking with fierce elbows. Statix broke the action up, but Ortiz went right back on the attack, only to find himself on the wrong end of a stiff shuffle side kick. Shamrock took it to the mat, applying an STF lock, but Ortiz was more than able to thrash his way out of it, and go on the attack. Shamrock, conserving his energy, went back on the offensive, rolling through with several locks before nailing a big belly to belly suplex! Shamrock applied the ankle lock, wrenching away on the hold until Ortiz had no option, but to tap out. Meaning the former tag team partners, and good friends would have to face each other. Shamrock was cautious before having his hand raised.
Winner: Jason Shamrock via submission [7:50]

 

Backstage Albert Beefcake was with Daemon X, who said he was feeling in very good physical condition, and was taking advantage of not having a match. Albert asked what Daemon X' goals were, and DX told him that he wasn't out to achieve anything in particular. DX acknowledged that he was still getting used to the ICWW style, but was confident that he could maintain his status as a looming threat, and maybe work his way up. Albert asked DX his thoughts on the matches of the night, and DX said even without knowing the feuds as well as everyone else, he could tell that putting money on any of them was foolish. He said he had a feeling gold might change hands though.

 

The Godfather versus The Hurricane
The Godfather was escorted to the ring by his lovely ladies as he got ready for his match with the Hurricane, who hadn't been seen in action for quite some time. The Godfather got on the microphone and was about to welcome everybody aboard his ho-train, when the Hurricane's music interrupted! The Super Hero raced to the ring and took it straight to the Godfather with a spinning heel kick! Pimping continued to be uneasy, as the Hurricane stomped down on the Godfather, offering a thumbs up to the crowd in between asserting himself as the aggressor. Godfather managed to slow the pace to his liking, utilizing the running splash, to which his size really favoured. Slowing things down, Godfather was really able to take control, taking Hurricane from the top rope with a superplex! With the near, Godfather hoisted the Hurricane up for the pimp drop, but Hurricane slipped out the back and hit the eye of the hurricane! A small package saw the Hurricane picking up the shock victory, as he wooshed out of the arena.
Winner: The Hurricane via pin fall [6:25]

 

In the locker rooms the Nomad was physically and mentally preparing himself for the match against his old adversary the Rock. Statix approached and asked the Nomad how he was feeling. Nomad admitted that their table match was one of the toughest on him, but he was more than ready to wander into battle with the Rock. Statix said the Nomad needed to have more faith. Statix told Nomad that he didn't have a good feeling about his match, and that the Nomad needed to realise, he's not a Nomad at all. He's chosen. There's a purity in his path.

 

Hardcore Championship match
Acidic Wonder versus Marc Scott (c)
With the hardcore 24/7 rule suspended by the mystery CEO, Marc Scott confidently strode to the ring with the belt over his shoulder. Scott took a microphone and announced to the fans that he was as shocked, and disappointed when he learned the 24/7 rule had been put on hold. He said that every night he woke up from a deep sleep, he felt guilty. Guilty because he couldn't get attacked, and guilty because he turned on his one time tag partner, Acidic Wonder. Acidic Wonder made his way to the ring, while Marc Scott continued to assure him that there was no bad blood between the two. Acidic Wonder jumped into the ring and asserted himself, tossing Scott, belt and all, across the ring with a big suplex. Acidic continued the vicious assault, stomping down on Scott before he rolled to the outside. Acidic Wonder taunted to the crowd while Marc Scott rummaged under the ring, finding a steel pipe! He tripped the Wonder boy, and dragged him under the rope looking to use the pipe as a weapon, but Acidic blocked it and tossed Scott into the steel ring steps. With Scott in next week the Wonder boy looked to use the pipe against him, but Scott countered with the grudge! He looked for a cover, but Acidic Wonder wasn't done yet, nailing with a uranagi on the outside and a cover.
Winner: Acidic Wonder via pin fall [5:31]

 

The International champion, Michael Lucifer, arrived at the ICWW arena a little late. Statix was there to greet him, and asked Lucifer what was going on. Lucifer tried to shrug Statix off, but the heavyweight champion grabbed the big man by the shoulder, asking him to talk to him. Lucifer said that later in the night he had a ladder match against Violent J, and that was what he was there to do. Not to wax philosophy, not to make a song and dance of everything, and not to play big brother to any kids. Statix furrowed his brow, as Lucifer continued on his way.

 

The Nomad versus The Rock
The Nomad made his way to the ring for the fourth time at a main event to face off against the Rock. The Rock strolled to the ring with an air of uncertainty as the Nomad taunted him from the ring. Reluctant to enter, the Rock stopped at the apron and hopped down, circling the ring. The Nomad stepped back, offering a clear path for the Rock to enter. Reluctantly the Rock entered, and the Nomad went straight on the offensive with a big neck breaker. The Rock struggled to recover from the assault, but found his bearings as the Nomad went to the top rope. The Rock countered with a huge top rope superplex, taking the Nomad down to the matt with ruthless aggression. The Rock nailed Nomad with a DDT and peeled his elbow pad off, tossing it into the crowd. The Rock hit the ropes, ready to hit the people's elbow, but the Nomad found a second wind, nailing him with a wide crescent kick! Both men went down, and struggled to their feet around the same time, seeing the Nomad walk into the rock bottom! The Rock picked Nomad up for another, but Nomad telegraphed it and hooked up for the bible black, but the Rock blocked that in turn! A death valley driver finished the match.
Winner: The Rock via pin fall [5:21]

 

Albert Beefcake and Gregory Helms were backstage, discussing the tag team championships which have remained inactive with no signs of activity. They again reiterated that the night's headlining showdown would pit Violent J, one half of the tag team champions, against against a less than potent Michael Lucifer. With the ladder in play, Albert brought up his doubts about Lucifer pulling it off. Gregory agreed with Albert, and said that from what he's been able to learn the events of the months when ICWW was inactive saw Lucifer take hard times. He said one of the biggest questions had to revolve around his break up with wife, Gwen, who seemed to be the one calming voice of reason. He said he found it odd that Lucifer was weaker.

 

Shawn Michaels versus Banging
The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels strutted his way to the ring as the crowd went wild. HBK ready to kick it with the kliq against fellow former ICWW Heavyweight champion - Banging! The masked superstar stared at the polar opposite facing him across the ring, as the bell sounded. The two went face to face before tying up, Michaels coming out of it with a snapmare take over. Banging was up quick, and shot Michael into the ropes taking him down with a Samoan drop! Suddenly Chris Benoit raced down the entrance way, and attacked Michaels and Banging with a steel chair! The crippler cleared the ring, before rolling out and disappearing as suddenly as he appeared! The Referee called a no contest.
Winner: No contest [0:53]

 

Marz joined Gregory Helms and told him that tonight, he was going to give Oozaru the beating of his life. Marz warned that he was sporting a dangerous new finishing move, a move taught to him by the devil himself. Marz said he had sold his soul, but no cost was too great for greatness. Marz asked Gregory Helms if he'd ever heard of the Shotei palm strike. Helms said he knew of it from his days in Japan, but had never seen it executed. A sick smile crept over Marz' face.

 

Steven Oozaru versus Marz
The crowd were on their feet for Steven Oozaru and Marz' arrivals, perhaps presenting the most anticipated match of the night. The two squared off in the ring as the bell sounded, seeing Marz go straight for the Shotei palm strike. Oozaru desperately dodged it, slipping to the outside momentarily while Marz stalked in the ring, the scares of his match with Rockey Rakesh evident across his back. Oozaru climbed over the rope as Marz shot him into the ropes, catching him with a rolling wheel kick. Oozaru staggered as Marz hooked up for a vertical suplex, but fell victim to a vicious clubbing blow to the back. Oozaru followed it up with a hard back breaker to the mat, slowing it down with Marz writhing in agony. Oozaru picked his opponent up and slowly wrapped his hand around his neck, and he dropped him with a devastating chokeslam! Some of Marz' wounds appeared to be reopened by the impact, but he continued to fight, hitting a limp springboard kick. It wasn't enough, Oozaru finished the match with the flatliner and a lateral press.
Winner: Steven Oozaru via pin fall [2:33]

 

Rockey Rakesh was talking to Violent J in the back as Marz was helped in by officials. Violent J approached to inspect the situation, and asked to see all their ID tags. A bloodied and beaten Marz wished his Team Extreme partner good luck for his International match, and in response the Y2Juggalo thanked him, and asked for his ID. When Marz was unable to produce any, Violent J asked security to remove him from the building. Violent J said he wouldn't be able to fight if Marz kept interrupting the flow of energy by bleeding everywhere. Security escorted a stunned Marz out.

 

Heavyweight Championship match
Jason Shamrock versus Statix (c)
Jason Shamrock strolled to the ring to face his former partner, and the referee that granted him his shot at the title earlier in the night. The crowd went wild as the heavyweight champion offered Shamrock his hand in a show of respect. Shamrock refused it, and lashed out with a right hand! Shamrock was nowhere near as conservative as he was in the match with Ortiz, unloading with a devastating combination of punches and kicks. Statix struggled to find his balance, but found a second wind, allowing him to match Shamrock. Statix took it to the mat with a roundhouse kick, looking for an STF, but Shamrock countered it into a hold of his own. Statix was able to free himself and bought himself some time with the blood bomb! Statix went up top, looking for a high risk maneuver, and nailed it with a five-star frog splash! Statix again looked for the submission hold, but Shamrock was able to counter out of it, into the ankle lock! A belly to belly suplex finished Statix, just like it finished Ortiz. 1, 2, 3 count making Shamrock a two-time champ. After the match, Shamrock put the boot into his former partner, leaving him out cold and in need of a assistance.
Winner: Jason Shamrock via pin fall [9:59]

 

Ladder International Championship match
Violent J versus Michael Lucifer (c)
The headlining epic of the night sent the crowd into a frenzy as the challenger raced into the ring at the sound of the Y2Juggalo countdown. The International champion strode to the ring, Violent J coming out to aisle to meet him. The two exchanged shots, before Lucifer sent J into the crowd guard. Lucifer tossed VJ into the ring, and went to work on him with throat thrusts, driving him into the corner where he signaled for the boxing combination. Violent J had other ideas, hopping onto the turnbuckle to counter with a top rope bulldog! VJ stomped down on Lucifer, and waited patiently for him to get into position for the scissors kick! Lucifer was able to dodged the attack, and counter with a falling sleeper. Lucifer headed to the outside and pulled the ladder our from under the ring, as Violent J came flying over the top with a top rope plancha! The two battled on the outside, Lucifer sending his opponent into the steel ring steps, and he guard rail, trying to wear him down. J knocked Lucifer down and started to rip the padding up, exposing stone cold concrete on the outside! He tied up, but Lucifer dropped him with the Devil Driver! The two headed into the ring, exchanging blows back and forth before Lucifer managed to nail the impaler kick! Lucifer began to climb the ladder as Violent J struggled to his feet as Lucifer climbed up the ladder! The two battled back and forth, Violent J finally gaining the upper hand by knocking Lucifer off the ladder! Lucifer managed to shake Violent J off the ladder, leaving the two to battle it out again. Lucifer dropped Violent J with a powerbomb, and climbed the ladder once more, but when he reached the top, the title was hoisted up out of reach! As the champ looked around for answers, Violent J was able to pull him down, and start climbing himself. J tried to will the title within reach, when the big hand of Lucifer slammed him off the ladder! Slowly, Lucifer climbed to the top of the ladder, struggling to maintain his balance as he used his height to reach for the belt, and snatch it down for a shock victory!
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [31:59]

 

After the match, Michael Lucifer staggered out of the ring and up the aisle, leaving Violent J to ponder what could have been in the middle of the ring. Not letting it get him down, J celebrated the night with a Jarooni in the middle of the ring, closing Breaking Point out as the crowd went wild.

ICWW: Fatal Attractions

 

The crowd were on their feet as Buddy Luv and Stat-Man welcome fans to the first ICWW main event since October 2003! They showed footage of earlier in the night when Michael Lucifer arrived in the arena, wearing the 33 of the Charlotte forward Alonzo Morning. Buddy Luv mentioned that Lucifer wasn't looking as dominating as he could, asking backstage interviewer Gregory Helms to leave him alone. Stat-Man insisted that it was probably just mind games on the part of the mysterious superstar. Trying to psyche Steven Oozaru out for their match.

 

Minty Jones versus Acidic Wonder
For the first time since the early days of ICWW, Acidic Wonder made his way to the ring, enjoying the roar of the crowd for the first time since his retirement in October. Acidic Wonder offered his hand to Jones, already in the ring, but found himself on the receiving end of a jab as the match got under way. Minty followed up with a nice DDT, leaving Acidic Wonder out on his feet and ripe for a bulldog! Minty looked to follow it up with a chop, but the Wonder had none of that, sending Jones to the mat with a stinging chop of his own. Acidic Wonder clamped down with an STF, and scramble as he might, Minty Jones was unable to escape the move giving Acidic Wonder the win. After the match, Jones remained in the ring and had something of a tantrum, much to the disapproval of the fans. Minty raced to the back, covering his face, which appeared to be red.
Winner: Acidic Wonder via submission [3:09]

 

In the back the tag team champions, Team Extreme, were with Shane Altmann whom asked them how they felt about their respective matches that were yet to come. Marz told Altmann that he had a story. A story about a warrior who ran to a rock, but it wouldn't hide him. So he ran to the river, it was bleeding, all on that day. So he ran to the river, and it was boiling, all on that day. So he ran to the lord, but the lord said, go to the devil. He said go to the devil, all on that day. So he ran to the devil, and he was waiting. He ran to the devil, all on that day. Marz warned that in his match, Rockey Rakesh would have nowhere to run, with barbed wire ropes, and he would be waiting. Violent J interrupted and told Altmann that Marc Scott would be able to run either, and neither with the International champion. Marz looked stunned, and asked what Violent J was talking about. He said he deserved a rematch for the belt more than anyone. Violent J shook his head, and reminded Marz that the JCW champion was automatically the number one contender. Marz said he thought J lost the JCW title to Mannion, only to have the Y2Juggalo throw his hand in Marz' face. He told him it didn't matter what he thought, as the tag team champions left Altmann.

 

Hardcore championship battle royal
DDP (c) versus Steven Oozaru versus The Godfather versus Banging versus Chaos Drone
Diamond Dallas Page strolled his way to the ring for the hardcore championship war, only to be ambushed by the International champion, Steven Oozaru! Oozaru wasn't the only superstar in the title hunt, the Godfather was soon on the scene, and asserted his authority with his cane. DDP was eliminated from the fight early, being driven through a table early in the match. The International champion continued the battle, nailing the flatliner to pick up the win. As he headed backstage, the Godfather picked up pursuit, but they each found themselves attacked by Banging! Banging took the Godfather on, as Oozaru tried to sneak away from the fray, only to be caught by Chaos Drone! Out of nowhere the Drone went on the offensive, but Oozaru promptly put the beat down on the former Suck Squader. Banging and the Godfather were tied up, as Oozaru raced further to the back to wait out the battle royal time limit.
Winner: Steven Oozaru via pin fall [17:21]

 

In the back Gregory Helms was with former Eurasian champion, the Rock. He asked the Rock why it was he had chosen not to have a match on the card. The Rock raised his eyebrow, and snatched the microphone away from Helms. He told Helms the situation was a very simple one, and it revolved around the Rock's worth. The Rock said he had done a lot of things in his career outside of ICWW, but the one thing he'd never done, was capture ICWW gold. Helms tried to remind him of the Eurasian and hardcore championship, but the Rock stopped him, and repeated himself. The Rock flashed a filthy look at Helms, and turned his attention to the International championship. The Rock said he deserved a shot at the most revered belt in wrestling history, and he shouldn't have to win any kind of contender match, or anything else. The Rock said he had done it all, and if he wasn't going to appreciated for that, he didn't want to fight for it. He said he shouldn't have to work for it, it should simply be his, if you smell what he's cooking.

 

Shawn Michaels versus Daemon X
The Heart Break Kid's theme song erupted in the arena to a positive response, Shawn Michaels having not been announced to appear at Fatal Attractions. The former Heavyweight champion found himself with Daemon X as an opponent, as he looked to implement the ring psychology that had earned him a position as CEO. Daemon X seemed un-phased, pressing on with hard punches early on. The two tied up, seeing Michaels shoot his opponent into the ropes and take him down with a hard powerslam. Michaels signaled upstairs to the delight of the crowd, mounting the turnbuckle. Again he looked out for confirmation, but it proved costly with Daemon X springing to life and taking the showstopper down with a top rope belly to belly suplex! Daemon X stomped down on the fallen superstar, and looked to go up top himself, only to lose his balance, leaving him open for a press slam off the top by Michaels. Michaels quickened the pace, looking for an Irish whip, but DX countered and took him down with a Lou Thesz press. Michaels rolled to the outside, and retrieved a steel chair, rolling back inside only to have the chair dropkicked right back into his face! Daemon X capitalised with the dust to dust, and a cover.
Winner: Daemon X via pin fall [22:28]

 

While the technical team prepared the ring for the special, barbed wire ropes match to follow, fans were treated to a montage of past highlights in ICWW's history. Fans were surprised to see Superfly step out at the entrance way. He took to the microphone, and asked how everyone in the ICWW arena was feeling. Superfly asked the crowd if they knew what he liked about them, and was quick to inform that he liked nothing about them. The Superfly continued the verbal assault, until Abel Lucifer raced out and nailed him with a charging lariat! Superfly was out cold, as the mysterious superstar left as abruptly as he had entered. Superfly required assistance to the back from the technical boys, as the match got set.

 

Barbed Wire match
Rockey Rakesh versus Marz
The little fire cracker, although the only one of the two familiar with the barbed wire match, was by no means the favourite going in to face one half of Team Extreme. Marz sauntered his way to the ring, pausing to stare out at the crowd, before mounting the turnbuckle fearlessly to enter over the barbed wire ropes. Rockey Rakesh mamboed it up offering a light hearted slant to the match. Despite having the crowd behind him, Rakesh was unable to amuse Marz who went straight to work with a stiff clothesline. The angel with the scabbed wings continued the assault with a sunset bomb, into a leg grapevine. Rakesh struggled out of the hold, and looked for a swinging haymaker, but Marz ducked under it and went off the turnbuckle with the springboard kick! With Rakesh down, Marz combed over the barbed wire with a sadistic smirk on his face. He grabbed Rakesh by the head and dragged him toward the ropes, ready to inflict some serious damage. Rakesh was able to counter the move with a low blow, leaving Marz against the ropes and Rakesh to instinctively jump back and look for  the 619. The little fire cracker pulled back just in time, remembering the danger of the barbed wire. With his finisher rendered useless, Rakesh whipped Marz across the ring into the barbed wire! Marz' shirt tore easily, exposing his skin to the barbed wire  as Rockey Rakesh whipped him from side to side. Barely able to stand, Marz was finished off with an Indian powerbomb in one of the most bloody, and twisted defeats in ICWW history. The technical team returned to change the ropes over once more, but medical assistance first had to be offered to Marz, who had severe wounds to his back and arms. He was stretchered out.
Winner: Rockey Rakesh via pin fall [6:10]

 

Shane Altmann was with the Nomad, and asked him how he was feeling with his Heavyweight championship going on the line in a table match momentarily. The Nomad told Altmann that there were several issues he wanted to address. The first being, the Rock. The Nomad reminded Altmann of his sorted history with the Rock, and said that it's no secret that the Nomad has come out on top time and time again. He said that he'd seen the Rock's comments from earlier in the night, and he was disgusted. He said that it was a disgrace to have someone aim for a championship, but not be willing to earn it. The Nomad said that if anyone should be complaining, it should be him for being held back from the International title! The Nomad said that brought him to the next issue. He said he had been a Nomad for a long time, but it was a lie now. He said it was farcical to call him the Nomad, because he had discovered purpose. His first goal, to keep the Heavyweight championship belt, but he also was keeping an eye on the International title. The Nomad wrapped things up by warning that Statix, who can supposedly see the future, should know that he was going to be serving up a three course ass kicking once the tables were set up. He then warned that if the Rock didn't stop whining, he could be on the menu too.

 

Table Heavyweight championship match
The Nomad (c) versus Statix
Two of the biggest names in wrestling prepared to enter the ring to battle it out for the ICWW heavyweight championship strap. The Nomad, formerly known as the lord of the table match, looked confident coming in with a smug look on his face. Statix wasted no time dealing with Nomad's confidence, going straight on the attack with chops. The Nomad was staggered by the sudden assault, finding himself on the back foot as he went off the ropes, and taken down by a clothesline. Statix looked to keep the momentum in his favour, tying up for the blood bomb, but the Nomad was able to counter with the red myst maneuver! Statix staggered back, leaving the Nomad to tie up and drop the challenger with a uranagi. He slipped to the outside, and pulled a table out from under the ring, as the crowd went wild. The Nomad looked to set the table up, but Statix launched himself over the top rope with a swan dive to the outside! The Nomad went down hard, as Statix catapulted him across the outside area. Statix set the table up, and looked to blood bomb the champ through, but was unsuccessful in his attempt. The Nomad struck back with the red myst once more, and looked for the bible black, but Statix was able to fight out of it! The two exchanged trademark moves back and forth, eventually seeing Statix nailed the Static Slam! It was all over, The Nomad finding himself driven through the table. After the match, Statix helped the Nomad to his feet, the two acknowledging each other's efforts on the outside, as the crowd went wild for both of them. They strolled to the back together.
Winner: Statix via table [27:57]

 

Albert Beefcake was backstage with Gregory Helms to discuss his MMAF sanctioned cage match. The Big Beefer said he was confident that he could use his size, and mastery of the yellow bandana factor to overcome the focus and determined Tito Ortiz. Helms questioned Albo's reasoning, mentioning the confines of the cage favouring the more agile fighter. Albo let out a "rar" and told Gregory that he had obviously never seen some real fights. Albert said he hadn't been as confident as he was then and there since back home in Alaska, when he put money down on the bear fighting the beaver. Beefcake told Helms to put his faith in the yellow bandana force, before strutting his way to the locker rooms.

 

Violent J versus Marc Scott
The arena erupted as the Y2Juggalo countdown sounded throughout the arena, marking the arrival of the man himself! Violent J rolled onto the entrance way in the JCW VIP cart, for his match against Marc Scott. Marc Scott strolled to the ring, giving a member of the crowd the finger before climbing in ring with the Y2Juggalo. The two superstars stared each other down, the crowd going berserk for Violent J. Marc Scott looked out to the crowd with a stunned look on his face, as Violent J performed the J-arooni right in the middle of the ring! With Violent J shouting his catch phrase, Marc Scott when on the offensive, hammering down on Violent J with clubbing right hands. He tied up, wrenching the neck with a powerful neck breaker! Violent J staggered, rolling to the outside to try to recover, but Scott was quick to follow with an atomic drop! With Violent J down, Scott looked to pick him up for the grudge, but the Y2Juggalo took him down with a DDT! J followed it up, stomping down on the fallen Scott on the outside. J rolled back into the ring and hyped the crowd up more with another J-arooni! Marc Scott, furious on the outside, tossed a chair into the ring daringly. He rolled back into the ring, and challenged Violent J to use it. J snatched the chair, and looked out to the crowd for approval. With Marc Scott nodding, J shocked him hitting a toe kick, and following it up with a scissors kick! Violent J went upstairs, combing down with a devastating psycho flip, allowing him the opportunity needed to make the cover on Marc Scott.
Winner: Violent J via pin fall [3:37]

 

MMAF sanctioned cage match
Tito Ortiz versus Albert Beefcake
In the back, the MMAF cage was set up in the ICWW gym, where Tito Ortiz and Albert Beefcake prepared to enter. The referee on the outside made sure they understood the rules, as the bell sounded. Ortiz circled the ring, controlling the movement from the early on. He faked once, twice, before going on the charge with a stinging elbow combo on the Beefer! Albo staggered, using the cage to steady himself as Ortiz continued to menace him. Ortiz again went on the charge, but Albo was able to reverse the situation, leaving Ortiz nothing but cage. Albo staggered back, revealing a busted eye brow! The Beefer tried to tell the referee that he was feeling woozy from the blood, leaving himself wide open to a sleeper hold by Ortiz. He dragged the big man to the mat, clamping in with a scissors hold around the mid section, allowing him a stern hold. The Bear-Whale was put to sleep, but the devastating hold for a sub win by Ortiz.
Winner: Tito Ortiz via submission [4:13]

 

Speculation was high as Buddy Luv and Stat-Man eagerly awaited the night's headlining match, a no holds barred match for the International championship. With Steven Oozaru having picked up the Hardcore title in a hard fought battle earlier in the night, the pair did question the legitimacy of his chances. Buddy Luv again had to mention that Lucifer clearly looked depleted. He offered insight in the form of news, that Michael and Gwen had separated during the time ICWW was closed. Stat-Man also said that something happened between Lucifer and the CEO, whom remains unknown to the general public. Buddy Luv said things would have to be weighing in on Lucifer.

 

No Holds Barred International championship match
Steve Oozaru (c) versus Michael Lucifer
The challenger made his way to the ring first, wearing the classic "black armor" to the surprise of fans. Lucifer's presence was less that dominating as he entered the ring to await the champion. Steven Oozaru strolled to the ring with a big smile on his face, and both the International and Hardcore championship belts over each shoulder. Oozaru got in Lucifer's face, the two going nose-to-nose, until Lucifer broke it with a hard throat thrust, sending Oozaru staggering back. Lucifer sent Oozaru off the ropes, looking for a big boot, but Oozaru ducked it and came off the other side with a hard lariat. Taunting to the crowd, Oozaru gave time for Lucifer to drag himself off the mat. Lucifer came at Oozaru and tied up, looking for a gut wrench powerbomb, but Oozaru was able to fend it off and counter with a gut wrench suplex! Lucifer went down hard, and stayed down until Oozaru picked him up and looked for a chokeslam. Lucifer was able to fight out of it with shoulders, but Oozaru sent him off the ropes, scoring with a big boot to the face! Oozaru taunted again, presumably indicating the impending flatliner, but Lucifer nailed Oozaru with a low blow! He scooped him up for the Devil Driver, and scored the cover.
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [3:00]

 

Michael Lucifer received the championship, and had his hand raised with an exhausted look on his face. Oozaru nodded his head with a wide eyed look on his face, as Lucifer made his way up the entrance ramp to the back. Oozaru pointed to the hardcore championship, and out to Lucifer, as ICWW: Fatal Attractions came to a close.
