Episode #42
Bradley Center, Milwaukee
Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were pleased to welcome fans to ICWW's first
Milwaukee visit, near the lands of the International champion's home grounds.
Stat-Man revisited the shocking events of Kingdom Come, and the amazing
return of Statix. Buddy Luv declared it was one of the most explosive world
title bouts ever seen in ICWW. He also touched on the campaign of pain's
victory over Michael Lucifer, and the speculation of who could be next.
The Godfather versus Jason Shamrock
The action kicked off, Jason Shamrock looking to further his recent success
after continuing his winning ways at Kingdom Come with a victory over Hulk Hogan.
Godfather looked to assert himself in the early goings, but as has been the trend,
Shamrock was able to match his larger opponent pound for pound. Taking it to the
mat, Shamrock worked away on the ankle, but it would be the belly to belly
suplex finishing move that would score Shamrock another extreme victory.
Winner: Jason Shamrock via pin fall [4:43]
In the backstage area, International champion Statix was arriving, when the Nomad
approached him. Statix seemed distant from his friend who asked if it had been he
who asked him to deliver the package to Michael Lucifer. Statix told Nomad that there
were forces at work much larger than their own human desires and fears. Unsure of
what his pal was talking about, Nomad reluctantly accepted an invitation to discuss
matters of business elsewhere.
In the offices Violent J was with Marc Scott watching the backstage area on a monitor.
Violent J folded his arms and nodded, telling his lackey that even though he lost the
world title belt, he could see things were heading in the right direction. He admitted that
he was disappointed in losing, but his job as head booker was secured, which meant he
could continue to enjoy the life of luxury he was becoming accustomed to. Scott lit up a
cigar for his boss, handing it to the Y2Juggalo. As he chomped on it, Violent J let out an
unprovoked laugh, and told Scott that he should sit back, and watch their success fly.
The Hurricane versus Hulk Hogan
One-half of the tag team champions took on the head-booker's right hand man in one
on one competition. Both superstars reflected the signs of just how brutal the weekend
was for the ICWW roster, as Hogan stiffly exerted his influence on the match. Hurricane
struggled to find his grounds, Hogan using the big boot to level his opponent. With the
super hero down for the count, Hogan was able to wrap it up with a big leg drop.
Winner: Hulk Hogan via pin fall [3:46]
In the gym, Abel Lucifer approached Albert Beefcake. Abel asked if Albert knew where
he could find his brother. The big beefer told Abel that Lucifer hadn't come in, due to
injuries sustained at Kingdom Come. Abel seemed to slip into deep thought when Albo
asked him if he was interested in signing up to the ABG. Abel cocked an eyebrow,
staring at the Alaskan with a stale look on his face. Albert backed off like a wounded
animal, informing that he had second-degree burns in his defense.
Gregory Helms was straightening his tie backstage, as he prepared to discuss the
upset victory Amazing Red was able to attain over Marz. The red tornado told Helms
that it was simple. New Yorkers were known for being underdogs, and like a true kid
from Brooklyn, he came out as a giant killer. Helms asked Red how he felt about the
rematch signed later in the night, to which Red said he was insulted. He said he felt
it was all about the lack of faith the people at the top had in him. He guaranteed that
he would make it his mission to be known for something other than his weight.
Daemon X versus The Nomad
Daemon X was accompanied to the ring by X-division champion, Banging, for a bout
with the recovering Nomad. Nomad looked to be in improving condition, wasting no
time jumping the occult superstar while he conversed with Banging. Daemon X was
able to turn the surprise around, using his speed to knock Nomad back with a
handstand kick. Daemon X continued, lashing out with a combo of right hands, and
thunderous roundhouse kicks. Nomad tried to retaliate with a powerbomb, but DX
countered, heading up to the top rope! Out of nowhere, Banging leapt onto the apron,
and inadvertently knocked his master from the top! Nomad rolled him up with a
cradle to score the lucky victory.
Winner: The Nomad via pin fall [3:14]
In the offices Hulk Hogan and Marc Scott were huddled in the corner, while Violent J
conversed actively on the telephone. J shouted repeatedly that Statix was back, but
didn't seem to be getting the desired effect. Slamming the receiver down, J turned to
his men, and told them that the mystery CEO was threatening his position again. He
told them that the CEO had told him he had made other bad business decisions, and
was letting his personal feelings get in the way. J sneered, chomping his cigar.
Marz versus Amazing Red
A grudge rematch was on the card as Amazing Red took on Marz once again.
Proceedings kicked off with a grapple, seeing Marz come out with a go behind into a
German suplex. Marz' grappling game strategy kept a lid on things before Red was
able to send him to the outside with a super kick. The red tornado flew over the top,
catching Marz on the outside, the referee letting them go the distance. The match
deteriorated into a slug fest, as the two exchanged blow after blow. With time counting
on, Marz produced a steel chain, and used it as a weapon against the light weight!
He rolled him into the ring, able to pick up some retribution with a firm cover.
Winner: Marz via pin fall [15:31]
In the locker rooms, Superfly approached the Godfather. He asked his partner if he'd
seen Rockey Rakesh anywhere since the weekend. Godfather asked his escorts if
they'd seen him at all, getting a negative response. Superfly stroked his chin, and told
Godfather that there was an imbalance in the cosmos that he didn't like. Godfather
asked him what he meant, and Superfly warned that as zenlightened as he was, he
might need spiritual guidance if they were to find Rockey Rakesh.
Violent J versus Steven Oozaru
The Y2Juggalo countdown echoed through the arena as the head-booker returned to
the ring after a brutal loss at the hands of Statix. With the mystery CEO still riding
him, Violent J took his frustrations out on the Aussie giant, Steven Oozaru. Unable to
execute his usual power game, Oozaru floundered under a heavy battery of punches.
Violent J was able to hit the psycho flip in the early going, but it wasn't enough to keep
Oozaru down, who managed to hit the desperation flatliner finisher. With fatigue quickly
setting in, it was Violent J who was able to use the spike DDT to wrap it up.
Winner: Violent J via pin fall [4:19]
Violent J celebrated the victory as Civil Action came to an end. Buddy Luv and
Stat-Man turned speculation toward Aftershock, daring to ask what Abel Lucifer
was looking for from his brother. Also turning their attention to Daemon X'
connection to the disappearance of Rockey Rakesh; urging everyone to tune in for
Aftershock, as Civil Action came to an end.
Special mention:
Statix' return hasn't
had the effect the
Y2Juggalo expected.
