Episode #43
Buddy Luv and Stat Man welcomed an ecstatic crowd to the return of Aftershock.
They recapped some of Civil Action’s events, and told fans they were excited to
see how things played out.
Handicapped match
Statix versus The Godfather and Superfly
Statix came out to the ring looking ready to fight in his scheduled Handicap match.
The Godfather and Superfly came out as a team, with the arena filling up with
fruitful colours, and peace music, ladies following behind. Superfly started things,
laying the beats to Statix. Just as things started to look grim for Statix, he got a
sudden burst of energy, taking him down with a series of high flying moves. The
crowd was really behind Statix as he dropped Superfly with the Blood Bomb.
Statix turned around just in time to nail The Godfather with a block, into a scorpion
kick. The Y2Juggalo countdown hit the speakers, turning Statix toward the entrance
in anticipation, only to be rolled up from behind by Godfather. The two celebrated
their way backstage, leaving Statix in the ring in dismay.
Winner: The Godfather and Superfly via pin fall [8:09]
Jason Shamrock bumped into Michael Lucifer backstage, and asked him if he knew
what loyalty was. Jason told Lucifer that just because his team didn’t come out with
the win at Worlds Collide, it didn't make it right for him to turn his back on them.
Lucifer told Shamrock that his team had disappointed him so much, that he couldn’t
even concentrate in the ring last week with Marz. He assured Shamrock that he
wouldn’t be so lucky on Aftershock, and said he'd be looking forward to seeing
Shamrock in the ring later in the night.
Marc Scott versus The Hurricane
Marc Scott made his way out to the ring to face off against The Hurricane. The
Hurricane’s speed proved to be too much for Marc, as he reversed everything Marc
Scott threw at him. The tag champ went on the offense, showcasing his high flying
abilities. When Marc realized there was nothing he could do to slow the Hurricane's
momentum, he rolled out of the ring and walked away from the match. Marc Scott
wiped his hands clean from the match as he headed up the ramp and went backstage.
Winner: The Hurricane via count out [3:22]
Statix burst into Violent J’s locker room backstage, demanding a shot at his
International title. Statix told the Y2Juggalo to stop hiding behind his lackeys and told
him to fight him like a man. Statix could see the future, and that future was the
International title around his waist. Violent J told Statix that he was a business man,
and as a business man he’d cut Statix a deal. Violent J would defend his International
title later in the night, if Statix agreed to put his hardcore title, and career, on the line
with an opponent of J’s choosing next week on Civil Action. Statix got pumped up
and agreed to the stipulations, saying that it wouldn’t matter who J put him up against,
he’d be the International champion. J told Statix he’d put his title on the line, but he
didn’t tell him to who. Violent J thanked Statix for agreeing, and forced him out of his
locker room, saying that after next week he wouldn’t have to see Statix’s face again.
Hulk Hogan made his way out to the ring to a drowning of boo’s from the crowd.
Hogan explained that he is the strongest superstar to ever grace ICWW, yet ever
since losing to Amazing Red, he’d been hearing nothing but disrespect from the
fans. Hogan said that he was going to get the respect he deserves, and called
Amazing Red out for a match.
Hulk Hogan versus Amazing Red
Hulk Hogan took out his aggression on Amazing Red, nailing him with various power
house maneuvers. Amazing Red barely rolled out of harms way from the big Hogan
Leg Drop, and took Hogan down with a quick bulldog. From there it was the code red
standing star press, and the pin for a clean victory over Hulk Hogan.
Winner: Amazing Red via pin fall [3:36]
Amazing Red took a little too much time celebrating his victory, and was attacked
from behind by an outraged Hulk Hogan. Hogan locked Amazing Red into the bear
hug, and nearly squeezed the life out of him, before leaving him on the mat motionless.
Suddenly, Marz was sitting at the front of an empty classroom on the big screen.
Marz said that undeserving superstars like Albert Beefcake were taking his shot at the
International title. Marz beat Violent J in the Panic Room, he beat Michael Lucifer on
Civil Action, and said he was going to beat Oozaru in the headlining match on Aftershock.
Marz said Violent J was trying to hold his former partner down, but it wouldn't work.
After he would beat Steven Oozaru, it would put him on the top of the contender list,
leaving Violent J no choice but to give him the title shot at Kingdom Come. Marz swore
that Violent J’s time was coming, and he could only avoid it for so long.
Michael Lucifer versus Jason Shamrock
Jason Shamrock started off the match looking good, applying various submission
techniques on Michael Lucifer. Lucifer battled out, and went on the offense with
some mixed martial arts. The devil driver was reversed into an ankle lock, and it
appeared that Lucifer had no choice but to tap out. Lucifer managed to use his last
bit of energy to reverse the ankle lock and nail Shamrock with the devil driver for
the victory.
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [3:09]
The Nomad was backstage being interviewed by Gregory Helms. The Nomad told
Helms that he still was, is, and always would be the best superstar in ICWW. Recently
people had been taking advantage of his injuries, but The Nomad said he was taking
the night off to rest and heal. Once back in action, he'd take out any jobber
backstage who wanted to challenge him. He'd climbed the ladder quickly before, and
he promised he would climb it even quicker this time, because he was better than ever.
A candle lit basement took the big screen, with strange chants filling the room. Daemon
X was shown sitting on a cushion surrounded by a circle of candles, and in front of
him Banging was chained to the wall. The chants continued to grow louder, and louder,
until the room went black, and the chanting ceased.
International Championship match
Violent J (c) versus Albert Beefcake
Albert Beefcake made his way to the ring to a huge pop from the crowd, only to be
down-sized by the pop Violnet J received. Albert Beefcake got right into the match
using a series of cocobutts, getting the crowd behind him. The two large men battled
back and fourth, with Violent J eventually nailing a scissors kick. He followed it up with
a spike DDT, proving to be too much for the Alaskan bear-whale, retaining his
championship gold.
Winner: Violent J via pin fall [3:16]
Paul Heyman and Rhyno made their way down to the ring, and Paul explained that
on Civil Action, Rhyno showed no mercy to Albert Beefcake, just like he would show
no mercy to anyone else who got in their way. HE explained that Rhyno was on a
mission for gold, and was willing to permanently take out anyone who should cross
him. Paul Heyman went on to say that he talked Violent J into signing Rhyno a match
at Worlds Collide. A steel cage match, against the hardcore champion, whomever the
champion should be. Heyman said Statix would be wise to lose his match on Civil
Action, because winning would be a ticket to get in the cage with the man beast, and
to be ripped apart limb from limb. He proclaimed that Rhyno is the future of hardcore
in ICWW, and there was nothing anyone can do to stop him. Rhyno and Paul Heyman
then made their way back up the ramp, as the headliner began.
Marz versus Steven Oozaru
Steven Oozaru made his way down to the ring to face Marz, looking good after
beating the other half of team extreme on Civil Action. History was on Oozaru’s side,
as he tore into Marz, driving him into the turnbuckle with a belly to back suplex. Marz
reversed a suplex attempt, and hit Oozaru with the shotei palm strike. Marz climbed to
the top, and taunted the crowd, before hitting the phoenix splash.
Winner: Marz via pin fall [3:15]
Marz celebrated in the ring, making title motions around his waist, and sending a
message to Violent J. Buddy Luv and Stat Man thanked the fans for tuning in, and
encouraged them to catch Civil Action, to see Statix put his title, and career on the line.
Special mention:
Statix signed a deal
with the devil. His
fate will be decided
on Civil Action.
