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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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]
