MMAF: GRAND KUMITE VIII

HISTORY

- MMAF Grand Kumite When Michael Lucifer's brother Abel emerged from exile, he felt a sudden urgency to bring about their necessary final battle. Trying to create the appropriate atmosphere for their tradition born fight, Michael Lucifer would announce the very first MMAF: Grand Kumite. Although an open invitation tournament, Lucifer's true intentions were to lure his brother in. The winner of the tournament would face Michael Lucifer himself, and not only win great recognition as an awesome fighter, but a position in the Lucifer empire as well... Shawn Michaels would go on to win the tournament, and eventually replace Lucifer as CEO of ICWW. - MMAF Grand Kumite II Shawn Michaels becomes a targeted man as the second kumite is surprisingly announced. After enjoying a relatively smooth run in the initial tournament Both Abel and Michael Lucifer enter, knowing that their time of final battle would come before the tournament. Each shared the same goals - to reclaim total control. The Rock would overcome Rockey Rakesh and Tony McTier in the final round, earning him a shot against Shawn Michaels. Michaels would make MMAF history by becoming the first reigning MMAF: Grand Kumite champion.

- MMAF Grand Kumite VII With the four champions; Shawn Michaels, Statix, The Nomad and Steven Oozaru all entered in the one tournament, it almost comes as no surprise that this, the seventh Grand Kumite, would also be whispered in legend, forevermore known as the unfinished Kumite. The potential winner would be debated for months on, but an answer would not be presented... until now!

- MMAF: Grand Kumite VII announced August 26, 2003 In it's history, the MMAF: Grand Kumite has created for itself, a legend. With only four former champions in six tournaments, this seventh ushers in the invitation for one of the greatest matches of all time, a four way MMAF cage match, with only one man walking out the champion. With one in each heat, could the final four be the former champions, or will a new challenger rise to claim the prize? To win, superstars will have to accumulate the greatest total points from their matches. The two combatants with the most points at the end of their group heats will progress to the semi-finals. In the semi-finals, the matches will not depend on points at all, instead seeing the winners progress to the grand final, which will be an elimination four way match.

MMAF GRAND KUMITE VI The fifth Grand Kumite champion was crowned, but he'll be tested almost immediately, as the legend of kumite's coming in pairs is proven.

ICWW: Civil Action (Apr 15, 2003)

CIVIL ACTION RETURNS!

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION APRIL 15, 2003

Special mention:
Michael Lucifer - paralyzed! The former world champion now faces the greatest obstacle of his career, one he can't pound on!

QUICK RESULTS:
Eric Angle d. Rockey Rakesh
Statix d. Twisted Sanity
[Hardcore/X] - Loopster [c] d. Jason Shamrock [c]
Grand Kumite final - The Nomad d. Marz

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man welcomed fans back to another exciting ICWW show, the return of Civil Action no less! They informed fans of the huge stakes on the show, MMAF Grand Kumite final, and a merging X-Division/hardcore championship bout! Buddy Luv informed fans that Albert Beefcake was also live at the hospital where Michael Lucifer was staying, apparently experiencing paralysis, and they'd cross there later in the night to talk to his doctor, and hopefully Lucifer himself.

Marz headed to the ring, accompanied by Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, looking to have a few words. He told the fans that he was sure they were disappointed IWA was closed, but that they shouldn't fret, because the Dark Lotus were still in the house for their entertainment. Marz then said that he had a hugely entertaining show planned for fans later in the night, and thanked the fans for their support in advance for his Grand Kumite victory. The Nomad's music started and the dual International and Tag Team champion stepped out on stage. He told Marz that he was deluded for thinking he could with the kumite, because this was the new era of the Nomad, and not a soul in the arena could change that, least of all a sad clown. He told the Lotus that they shouldn't worry about their tag team championships because the Nomad was going to keep them company with a whole stack of other gold, so that the Nomad's could stop wandering, and start wondering what their hero would do next, and which gold he would win for them. Marz laughed and told the world champion that things were far from over. A flower power chant ended things.

Eric Angle hit the ring next to face the second tag team champion, the little fire cracker - Rockey Rakesh! Rakesh exploded first with an assault of punches, placing Angle on the back foot, but it didn't last. Angle turned the tables with a fireman's carry, and then a nice leg lock. Rockey fought his way out of the hold and went off the ropes, taking Angle back with a shoulder block, and then looked for the Indian powerbomb, but Angle managed to counter it into a DDT! Angle picked his opponent up for the Angle slam, and finished it with a strong pin fall.

Backstage the heavyweight champion strutted past former ICWW superstar, Banging! Banging told him that what he did at the Dark Carnival was pretty low, and something a heavyweight champion should never do. The game asked him who he was to tell him what to do, and Banging got in his face, informing him that he was a former ICWW heavyweight champion himself. The game laughed and shoved the visiting star aside, heading to his locker room as Banging gazed on.

Albert Beefcake now reporting with Michael Lucifer's doctor live from the hospital. Dr. Jeph informed the Beefer that Lucifer was indeed paralyzed from the waist down. He explained that earlier he had been experiencing some minor tension in his lower back, something not uncommon for large athletes. The trauma sustained from Triple H's sledge hammer attack on the weekend had effectively sent Lucifer's spine into a state of shock. He assured Albert that in very few cases an injury of this sort was permanent, and would likely have no future significance, however for the time being Lucifer would not be able to walk. Albert asked when Lucifer's strength would return, to which he found would depend on his will power. It could take anywhere between two hours, to two years, it really would depend on Lucifer's attitude. The camera man followed Albert into Lucifer's room, where he was sleeping. Gwen Lucifer said he had felt some sensation's in his feet earlier in the day, and he was feeling very positive about a return in the future. Albert then invited Gwen for a break and a cup of old fashion Alaskan java, to which she accepted. Back in the arena Buddy Luv cursed the camera man who left his camera down in the room, and still rolling on a sleeping Lucifer. Stat-Man pointed out the costs.

Unfamiliar theme music hit the arena as a young superstar from the NMW training camp prepared to have his first match in the big leagues. Twisted Sanity raced his way to the ring, surveying the crowd with an eagle eye before getting hyped up. The former hardcore champion raced down to the ring to take on the latest rookie. Statix started the match off fast with a spinning heel kick, but Sanity showed fierce tenacity, going on the offensive with hard knife edged chops. Statix was forced into the corner, where he managed to boot the Twisted superstar back, and climb the second rope, launching himself with a spear takedown! With Sanity wavering, it was academic, Statix finishing it off with the Blood Bomb and a pin. Statix tried to congratulate the young superstar on his performance, but he fled from the ring.

Attention crossed once again to the live feed from Michael Lucifer's hospital bed, where someone appeared to be entering the room. With the lights out and Lucifer sleeping it was difficult to tell who it was, appearing to be a male figure at least. The mystery man could be heard whispering, asking Lucifer if he really thought Triple H was responsible for his recent bad luck. The shadowy figured laughed before exiting the room, as Buddy Luv went wild at the commentators booth. Stat-Man pointed out how smart the ICWW camera crew were.

Johnny Begoode headed to the ring next to sing a song about Llama's, a performance intending to hype the next match, which would see the X-Division and hardcore championship belts come together. Apparently Loopster saw the song unfitting for the unification session, brutally attacking Begoode and stealing his mic.! Loopster said he was getting pretty sick of unification matches, and said if he had a similar result to his last title for title match Begoode was going to hear about it.

Jason Shamrock headed to the ring, the new hardcore champion looking in peak physical condition. The sick one went on the attack first, taking Shamrock down with a diving forearm, and then followed it up with a spinning leg drop. Shamrock climbed to his feet and chopped back at Loopster, driving him back with impressive Thai kicks, and then a huge snap suplex! Loopster rolled to the outside, taking a moment to breathe on his hands and knees, but disappeared beneath the ring! Shamrock became impatient and looked under, taking a trash can to the face for his curiosity! Loopster climbed out and plastered Shamrock with the bin lid, thrashing him left and right, before sending him into the crowd barrier with a hard thrust kick. Shamrock managed to duck another weapon assault, and take Loopster down with a belly to belly suplex! He went for the cover but Loopster kicked out, using the near by trash can to beat him back. Loopster tossed the can, setting Shamrock up for a drop kick to can slam! With Shamrock down, Loopster made the cover! Loopster jumped back in the ring to have his arm raised by the referee, when Johnny Begoode jumped into the ring and joined the celebration. Loopster hugged Begoode and the two laughed, Loopster getting the last laugh with a something factor! Johnny Begoode had to be helped to the back by referees.

Crossing live to the ICWW gym, regular home of the MMAF steel cage! Marz was receiving a pep talk from Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope, as the Nomad entered the room, with a big pop in the arena where fans were watching on the big screen. Marz entered the cage first taunting the Nomad who handed his two belts to the referee before stepping into the ominous steel boundaries. They tapped fists, Marz jumping the Nomad from behind as he retreated to his side, taking him down with a hard bulldog! Nomad bounced back furiously, driving Marz into the cage wall with a modified spear, and then went to work with a series of hard kicks to the mid section. Marz backed off, protecting his rib cage from any body rips. The Nomad stalked his opponent once more looking for a crescent kick, but Marz ducked under it, and turned his trajectory mid roll, striking him with a rolling wheel kick. Nomad staggered back, and Marz used the cage to spring himself into the world champ with a plancha style attack! Nomad was on the back foot as Marz looked to clean it up with a blood bomb, but the Nomad managed to counter the move, flipping Marz onto his back with a back body drop! The Nomad picked Marz up and drove him face first into the cage, raking his forehead open. From there Nomad hit the crescent kick and went for a cover, but Marz kicked out! Nomad hooked up with a figure four leg lock looking for a submission win, but Marz managed to reach out to the cage and pull himself, elevating the pressure and applying it back down to the Nomad. They broke the hold and squared up once more, Marz hooking up with a front face lock, but the Nomad managed to counter it into a huge jackhammer. He applied a camel clutch, but Marz kicked out. From there it was a bible black, and Marz was out cold, unable to continue.

The referee raised the Nomad's hand, as Nomad pointed out to the fans through the camera and shouted that he was the world, the tag and the cage champ, which practically made him king of the entire freakin' world. He slung his ICWW belts over his shoulder, and accepted the MMAF trophy as Civil Action went off the air.

ICWW: Aftershock (Apr 11, 2003)

MMAF GRAND KUMITE IN SWING

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK APRIL 11, 2003

Special mention:
Jason Shamrock was in his element, falling to the Nomad but participating in some of the closest matches in Kumite history!

QUICK RESULTS:
Statix d. Loopster
The Nomad d. Jauger
The Nomad d. Michael Lucifer
Jason Shamrock d. Statix
Tony McTier d. The Hurricane
The Nomad d. Jason Shamrock
Banging d. Rockey Rakesh

The crowd was pumped as Buddy Luv, Stat-Man and special guest commentator, Takashi Yorikana welcomed fans to the ICWW arena. Excitement was imminent for the special MMAF Grand Kumite V special of ICWW Aftershock. Particularly seeing the ominous MMAF steel cage in the middle of the arena, instead of the gym where it is usually located. The crowd was wild as Statix/Loopster was announced!

The only former grand kumite champion in the mix, Statix was certainly a prospect for the match against Loopster going in. The ICWW X-Division champion put out a poor effort, and eventually copped out, revealing an illegal stick weapon from his trousers and using it to brutalize Statix. Loopster was booed out of the arena more than ever, as the cage was opened and he was sent away. Statix the winner.

The Nomad hit the ring next to face off against the worldly Jauger, who stopped to hand a rose to someone in the crowd before entering the MMAF cage. Not having any cage experience, the Hitman certainly look out of his elements. The Nomad didn't take him without a fight, but in the end it was the Nomad taking the extreme champ.

The Nomad remained in the cage for his second round clash, having had such a fast match against Jauger at under four minutes. Michael Lucifer headed to the cage, with a rank of third behind him, the Nomad fourth. The two battled it out, Lucifer taking Nomad down with submissions repeatedly, obviously looking for the bonus points. The Nomad was lucky enough to score a quick rollover, and take the fall.

Another second round clash ready to take place as rivals Statix and Jason Shamrock prepared to duke it out in the cage. To most this served as a preview of things to come at the Dark Carnival. Shamrock was able to take the hardcore champion down in a lengthy seven minute match, the two shook hands before heading away.

Tony McTier and rookie the Hurricane squared off in the many-sided cage next for their first round encounter. The Hurricane gave it a good effort, storming into control early on, but McTier managed to use what little experience he had over the rookie to take away the win, and advance to the second round of the Grand Kumite.

The Nomad and Jason Shamrock returned for their semi-final clash, the winner getting the first grand final seat in the house. The two went in hard, Shamrock looking for the submission points as he did with Statix, but with a lot less luck. The Nomad managed to surprise Shamrock and roll him up early on. Shamrock and the fans clearly disappointed, particularly with a submission match in their history.

Finally Banging and Rockey Rakesh were up for their first round match in the lower half of the table. Rakesh certainly had a commanding start, using his boxing skills to great advantage, but Banging had the ability to strike an impressive come back.

ICWW: Aftershock rounded up, with the Dark Carnival just next week Buddy Luv reminded fans to tune in, and until then enjoy their weekend!

ICWW: Aftershock (Apr 4, 2003)

MMAF GRAND KUMITE IN SWING

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK APRIL 4, 2003

Special mention:
Jason Shamrock was in his element, falling to the Nomad but participating in some of the closest matches in Kumite history!

QUICK RESULTS:
Loopster d. Chris Jericho
Jason Shamrock d. Josh Heartbrand
Tony McTier d. The Hurricane
Non-Title - Statix d. Matt Hardy
Team Xtreme d. Michael Lucifer & The Nomad

The crowd was wild as ICWW: Aftershock kicked off, chants of Harley filling the arena. Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were psyched with Dark Carnival only a week away, and the IWA general managers, seen entering the arena grounds just moments ago! Plus a new ICWW superstar was in the house - none other than the Hurricane!

Chris Jericho's music started up as the king of the world headed to the ring. He took to the microphone, telling the fans to shut up. He said he wasn't a fan of motorcycles, and he wasn't a fan of Loopster or Chaos Drone. Jericho asked why there were two X-Division champions, when he was better than both of them! Loopster stepped out to answer the challenge, saying that if Jericho was trying to get a shot at Loopster, then he'd have to prove he deserved it first.

Jericho was ready for Loopster in the ring, welcoming him with hard boots, and then sent him into the ropes, stopping him still with a stinging chop. Jericho worked Loopster into the corner with chops, and then looked to head up top for a suplex. Loopster fought back and managed to counter the suplex, and followed up with a top rope leg drop! The X-Division champ scored a near fall, and picked Jericho up for the something factor! Jericho managed to power out of it and dropped Loopster with a face jam, and then went off the ropes looking for the Lionsault, but Loop avoided it! With Jericho staggering in pain Loopster hit the something factor, and rolled up.

Backstage Michael Lucifer was in his locker room with Gwen Lucifer. The Nomad entered and stood in front of Lucifer, staring up at him. Lucifer put his arm back toward his wife and asked the Nomad what it was he wanted. The Nomad asked Lucifer if he would help him out later in the night, because he wanted to make a point to Team Extreme. Lucifer said the Nomad wasn't very high on his list since the last time he extended the olive branch, but he could call a favor. The two stepped out, and Lucifer told Gwen to lock the door and not let anyone in.

A familiar theme not heard in the ICWW arena for quite some time hit, as the self proclaimed number one strutted his way down to the ring. Heartbrand said that he had returned because he recognised that ICWW was number one, and he belonged there. He said that last time he was in town, he took care of the Nomad, who was now the international champion, something he considered a sad fact. He said that as the number one performer in the game, he should be the champion. Jason Shamrock stepped out at the entrance way looking a little displeased. He asked Heartbrand who he thought he was, because as far as he was concerned he was one disgrace. Shamrock declared that Heartbrand wasn't anywhere near being number one, which was why he was back, and why he would probably be leaving in less than a week. Heartbrand looked shocked, and asked Shamrock if he could back his words up.

Shamrock stepped into the ring, and the two began circling like sharks. A tie up saw Heartbrand get in the first shot with a knee to the stomach, but Shamrock returned the strike with stinging Thai kicks. They tied up again, this time Shamrock managed to hit the overhead belly to belly suplex, sending Heartbrand straight back on his head! Shamrock went on the offensive once more, stomping away on the fallen stuperstar. Heartbrand slipped to the outside to take a breath, before rolling back in and taking Shamrock down with a running knee lift. Heartbrand tied Shamrock up with a Texas cloverleaf, but found himself on the reversal end of the hold. Heartbrand fought his way to the ropes, but couldn't compete with the power of a Shamrock bridging German suplex, Heartbrand went down for the three. As Shamrock celebrated, Heartbrand slipped out of the ring and retrieved a steel chair, using it to assault Shamrock from behind! Making the save was none other than the hardcore champion - Statix! He fought Heartbrand off, forcing him to retreat. Statix took a microphone and told Shamrock that he didn't need to worry about Heartbrand, because he was without honor. Statix said that he had learned a lot about honor from Jason Shamrock over the past months, and thought it would be fair to have a final deciding match to see who could come out on top. He proposed a best of three falls match, featuring matches that they were both becoming well known for. Shamrock nodded and the two shook hands as the crowd went wild.

Backstage Triple H headed toward Michael Lucifer's locker room with a smirk on his face, and produced a voice changing unit. He knocked on the door and used it to ask Gwen Lucifer to let him in! She unlocked the door and it opened, and much to everyone's surprise the heavyweight champion was pulled into the room!

Tony McTier made his way to the ring and bounced off the ropes, waiting for his opponent who was none other than the Hurricane! The real life superhero made his way to the ring. McTier went on the attack with a stiff neck breaker, taking a moment to taunt to the crowd. The Hurricane returned the favour with a spinning neck breaker, and followed up with a big leg drop. McTier was on the back foot as the Hurricane continued the assault with an Irish whip, and took him down with a spinning heel kick. With McTier down the rookie hero went upstairs, but McTier recovered and hit the top rope, causing the Hurricane to lose his balance. From there McTier was able to press slam the hero from the top rope, leaving him open for the pin fall.

Backstage Team Extreme were sitting in the offices talking about the attack on Injustice. J said that he bet the Nomad was down with the clown now, after they made him look like an April fool with some help from a couple of their boys from the hood. Marz laughed and said that if Nomad thought he had felt the half of it, he didn't know what was coming! The Nomad burst in the door suddenly greeted with a, "oooh what a lovely tea party" from Violent J. The Nomad told J he didn't care about his stupid catch phrases and he didn't care about Team Extreme. Marz asked the Nomad if they needed to get his attention again, and Nomad said they could do one better than that, Nomad then challenged Team Extreme to a match at Dark Carnival, with winner takes all rules. If he and a partner can beat them, ICWW wins, if they win, IWA wins. Team Extreme laughed and said they'd even put their tag titles on the line, Nomad became flustered, and said that if they were so confident, why don't they put the tag titles on the line later in the night in a friendly match of sorts. Marz laughed.

Matt Hardy version 1.0 headed to the ring next taking a microphone. He said that IWA was sucking the Mattitude out of him. He and his little buddy Shannon Moore had planned to attend Aftershock last week, and continue their question for the tag team championships, but they got jumped when leaving the Injustice and couldn't make it. Mattitude said that Shannon was still recovering, and was afraid to return to work! He then turned his attention to Statix, the man who took his hardcore championship. He said of all the people that sapped his Mattitude, Statix was highest on his list. Statix stepped out at the entrance way with his hardcore championship, and told Hardy that he needed to give the whole Mattitude crap a rest. Hardy said if it was all just crap, he should put the hardcore championship on the line right then and there. Statix tapped his title and said he'd be happy to do that, but he'd already promised to put it on the line in a very special match at Dark Carnival, but he would fight him.

Statix raced to the ring and jumped the top rope, inadvertently taking Hardy down! Hardy sprung back up, looking for a clothesline, but Statix ducked under it and went off the other side, taking him down with a kamikaze. Hardy recovered and took Statix down with a swinging neck breaker, following with a series of stomping kicks. The Hardcore champ clambered to his feet, and the two tied up, Hardy taking him down with a gut wrench suplex. Hardy followed with a leg drop and went for a cover, but only got one. Statix fought back, but Hardy took him down with a drop kick. Hardy climbed to the second rope and hit the guillotine leg drop! He went for the cover but somehow Statix kicked out! Hardy picked him up for a twist of fate, but Statix managed to counter the move, and hit the blood bomb, making the cover!

The Y2Juggalo countdown sounded in the arena as Team Extreme made their way down to the ring! The crowd was wild as Violent J and Marz headed down to the ring. J took to the mic. and sounded, "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages - JCW proudly brings to you, it's ICWW, tag team champions of the world the Y2Juggalo Violent J, the mad chick magnet Marz - Team Extreme!" The antics could go no further as the Nomad's theme music started up. The International champion raced down to the ring and the action started straight away, the Nomad driving Marz out of the ring, and then going to the corner with Violent J! The Y2Juggalo could do nothing as the Nomad went on the attack with a barrage of punches and kicks, finishing off with a nice judo flip! Marz jumped into the ring, and the double team assault began when suddenly a blast of fire hit the entrance way and the dominating figure of Michael Lucifer started toward the ring. Marz slipped out to meet Lucifer, while J continue the assault on the Nomad with a hard DDT! Marz attempted a spear takedown, but Lucifer didn't go down, using it to powerbomb Marz on the outside! Lucifer picked Marz up and dragged him to the ring, slamming him face first into the apron, and then he rolled him into the ring. The Referee forced Marz to his own corner, but J blind tagged him in. The Nomad slammed Marz down with a wild crescent kick and went for the cover, Violent J making the save. He picked the Nomad up and looked for a neck breaker, but Nomad countered with a take down and slammed down with hard punches on Marz. The Nomad dragged the tag champ to his corner and tagged in the big man, who took him down with a big boot to the face! Lucifer locked up for a chokeslam on Marz, but J jumped into the ring and slammed him from behind with an axe handle smash. The Nomad tried to enter but the referee would not let him in, leaving Team Extreme to continue the double team assault! J held him in a full nelson as Marz went to the top rope looking for a missile drop kick, but Lucifer managed to duck out of the way leaving J to take the huge kick! Lucifer went for a roll up, but only got a two count once the referee saw it. Lucifer tagged in Nomad who went to work on Violent J, hitting the red myst, but too close to their corner, allowing Violent J to tag in Marz. Marz went for a crescent kick but the Nomad ducked it and hit the bible black! Suddenly a clown from the crowd jumped the guard rail and stormed the ring, breaking the pin along with Violent J! Marz went for the cover, while the two other clowns held Michael Lucifer at bay, Marz scoring the rather controversial win.

Suddenly Edge ran down to the ring with a baseball bat and joined the clowns in beating down on the Nomad and Lucifer! Rockey Rakesh and Gwen Lucifer raced down to the ring looking to make the save, but Rakesh was knocked flat by Violent J! Edge approached Gwen and she slapped him, to which he grinned smugly at. Lucifer threw the mystery clown off, and brutally attacked Edge from behind, Lucifer slammed Edge down with a chokeslam, while the Nomad took Marz down with the bible black! Lucifer pulled the ropes open for his wife, and rushed her toward the back, leaving Rockey Rakesh and the Nomad to survey the damage as Aftershock went off the air, after an explosive ending!
