ICWW: Aftershock (11/08/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      NOVEMBER 08, 2002

Aftershock opened with footage reviewing the Hayley Nick case, and some of the suspects. Albert Beefcake then informed the fans that Ms. Nick was still in hospital in a coma, but he felt his investigation was coming to a head and he would be making further inquiries in the next week or two.

 

Rockey and Tony McTier clashed first up in a one on one match, Rockey started off well but a rock bottom knocked Rockey into next week allowing Tony McTier to get a sturdy pin. After the match Rockey was not happy, and showed it by having heated words with the referee.

 

Backstage Shane Altmann interviewed Team Extreme who said they didn't care about Hayley Nick, all they cared about was coming out on top. They said they were happy to take Oozaru down, and were ready to step up to the plate. They then challenged Banging to a TLC two fall match for the Tag Team and Heavyweight championships with the partner of his choice. Marz invited Banging to answer after he kicked his ass in the match they had scheduled later in the night. Violent J flashed his JCW title and laughed.

 

Oozaru faced off against the Phenom next in a hardcore match up. Oozaru looked impressive early on despite the attacks he had endured in recent weeks. Phenom managed to get back in the match after he nailed a huge top rope superplex. Oozaru took him to the limit with an STF hold, and followed up with a Lag Buster. Phenom tried for a quick roll up pin, but Oozaru followed through and got the cover.

 

Michael Lucifer entered next and stood in the ring not saying anything, his brother Abel appeared at the entrance way and the two stared at each other silently until they each nodded. Michael then said that it was done, and their time would be at ICWW: One Night Only, at which they would finally have their time of final battle, and he would reclaim his wife Gwen.

 

Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring to face Violent J in a non-title hardcore match. Violent J declared that his Juggalo Championsh*t title would be on the line, and despite the title not having any baring he fought like it did. Michaels was out on his feet, eventually falling to the Psycho flip. Violent J got in Michaels' face, taunting him with the JCW title and mocking his MMAF Kumite victory.

 

Heavyweight champion Banging made his way to the ring and said he would be more than happy to accept the challenge from Team Extreme, and guaranteed he would walk away with not only his heavyweight belt, but also one of the Tag Team straps. Marz raced to the ring laughing as their match went underway. The two exchanged heavy blows but it was Banging who was in control until Marz managed to turn the tables with an incredible Spiral bomb! Banging tried for a stunner but missed, allowing Marz to hit another bomb and cover.

 

Lord Nomad entered saying he was more than lord of tables, he was sultan of submissions and he knew Heartbrand and Xio recognised his might, which is why they fled ICWW for grounds where he wouldn't bother. Lord Nomad then defended his National championship to former champion Jason Shamrock in a Singapore cane match. Shamrock attacked Nomad with his cane, but Nomad was too skilled defending and reversing several shots. The National champ set Shamrock up for the Bible Black and wiped him out, getting the pin fall as Aftershock went off air.

ICWW: Civil Action (10/05/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      NOVEMBER 05, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action opened with Patrick Mannion entering the arena with a blow up doll which supposedly represented Hayley Nick. He displayed the mechanics of what he believed happened in the parking lot and then accused Tony McTier of being responsible. Even claiming he had been interested in her, but she turned him down. McTier raced to the ring to face Mannion in a match, which he did well after hitting the Alabama slam and pinned.

Lord Nomad made his way to the ring and told the crowd that Xio and Heartbrand had run away after he was beaten because they were afraid of him getting his revenge. He said that Xio had done it before and the fact was that he wasn't a worthy king of tables because he was afraid to even stick around. It was then the Nomad declared himself the lord of tables once more by default, because Xio was too afraid to be such a man. He then offered an open challenge, asking that his opponent not be a crying child like Heartbrand or Xio. Phenom answered the challenge. Phenom tried to make Nomad tap out with a figure four, but Nomad reversed it forcing Phenom to tap out.

On the arena screen Abel Lucifer appeared in a dark room. He said that both he and Michael knew that their final battle was coming, and only one would walk away so he should inform Michael that Gwen was actually alive. Abel then dragged a woman into site by the cheeks. He said that if it were Michael that won, he could find her. Backstage in his office Michael Lucifer was so angry it appeared as though he was crying.

Violent J made his way to the ring with his Tag Team and JCW championship belts. He said that it was about time he got another defense for his JCW title, and the floor was open. The rising star Dez Burnett showed up saying that he was going to show that Juggalo exactly what a real champion should be like. Dez was eating his words however when Violent J managed to nail the Psycho flip and got a cover, Dez was out cold!

Marz made his way to the ring for a match against a surprise opponent, Oozaru appeared at the entrance way with a ladder and a mic.! Oozaru said Team Extreme had done a nice job, but it wasn't nice enough so he was going to get as nice as possible and offer Marz a little TLC. Oozaru charged to the ring and the match was underway. Marz looked good early on using setting up a ladder after hitting the Spiral bomb, Oozaru snuck in the win however after he nailed Marz through a table with the most destructive Lag Buster ever seen. Violent J raced to the ring to help his fallen comrade, Oozaru left looking pleased with himself and in surprisingly good shape.

Shawn Michaels was interviewed next accompanied by Albert Beefcake. He said before the show Marz had attacked him and Albo was making enquiries about it. His main concern however was the MMAF Grand Kumite final against Michael Lucifer. He said Daemon X backed out for reasons unknown to him, but it didn't matter because being the show stopper he was going to stop Michael Lucifer in the MMAF cage. Michael Lucifer was dominant to start with, destroy Michaels' back with several elbow drops. The tables turned when Michaels reversed an attempt at slamming into the cage, and then proceeded to drop Lucifer with three Devil Drivers! With Michael Lucifer out for the count Shawn Michaels did a little bit of a dance before he got the pin. Michael Lucifer conceded defeat and congratulated Michaels, only to be attacked by Abel Lucifer. Shawn and Michael were left on the mat as ICWW: Civil Action went off the air.

ICWW: Aftershock (11/01/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      NOVEMBER 01, 2002

ICWW: Aftershock opened with Albert Beefcake announcing that Hayley Nick had not yet regained
consciousness and that he would be reviewing tapes of the scene to pick up more clues. Footage of the scenes from last week were then shown as the mystery of who hit Hayley Nick continues.

 

Jason Shamrock and Marz took to the ring for a one on one encounter to determine the next contender for the National championship. It was a close match, Marz looking to be in control early on but eventually being over powered by Jason Shamrock who finished it with his alternate F4 finishing move and got the cover.

 

Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring declaring that as a seven-time ICWW hardcore champion he was an unbeatable show stopper and would accept any challenge for his title right then and there. Phenom answered the call racing to the ring prompting the title match. Phenom had Michaels on the ropes until he finally finished him off with a nice devil driver and a solid pin. Michaels strutted to the back confidently.

 

Violent J hit the ring next saying that he thought Oozaru losing at ICWW: Inferno was appropriate because he wasn't a worthy heavyweight champion. He said Oozaru thought his JCW title was funny, but what was really funny was Oozaru thinking he had a chance for the heavyweight title. This prompted Oozaru to enter the ring prompting a one on one match. Violent J hit hard early making the Psycho flip, but Oozaru won it with the lag buster. Violent J wasn't happy about this laying into Oozaru after the match, soon joined by Marz. The two left Oozaru out cold, as paramedics carried the golden monkey to the backstage area.

 

Lord Nomad and Banging faced off in a scheduled match of champion versus champion. The two went in hard and fast, Lord Nomad proving to be too dominant though. Using a chair, Banging secured himself as the aggressor when suddenly Nomad got a second wind, taking his opponent down with the Mail Bomb and scoring a pin fall - defeating the ICWW heavyweight champion. Abel Lucifer raced down suddenly, clearing the ring of both Nomad and Banging. He then demanded that his brother make his way to the ring for a match, because he could tell the time of final battle was coming. Michael Lucifer appeared with a casket and told his brother that one of the two of them would be leaving in it as it would be a casket match.

 

The match started brutally the two exchanging punches, until Abel broke it up with a spinebuster. Looking for a flying clothesline Abel dived from upstairs, but was caught by his brother and rammed into the turnbuckle. The two exchange beatings until they locked up in death grips, both looking for the chokeslam. Abel booted his brother in the mid section and delivered and armageddon powerdriver and rolled him into the casket, laughing while it was bolted down and wheeled away as ICWW: Aftershock went off air.

ICWW: Civil Action (10/29/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      OCTOBER 29, 2002

Josh Heartbrand began proceedings as ICWW: Civil Action went on the air. He declared that ICWW was nothing more than a haven for the lame and weak to look good. He then announced that he was going to prove that by desecrating every superstar in ICWW, which arguably was impossible to do considering they're all worthless. Heartbrand then explained that his first target would be the original ICWW joke, Lord Nomad who was the first ever ICWW heavyweight champion, and current National. Heartbrand promised to get elite on Nomad, when he was interrupted by Xio's theme music. Xio entered and told Heartbrand that he could get in line for Nomad, saying that he was back to kick Nomad's ass for saying he was in hiding after Dead Or Alive II. Heartbrand reminded Xio that he was the second ICWW champion, and was next on his list. The two stared each other down, before leaving.

 

The Eurasian champion made his way to the ring next to face the similarly named Rockey in a one on one match. The Eurasian champion proved too much for the rookie, finishing the match off quickly with a Rock Bottom.

 

Backstage; recent ICWW addition Superfly was enjoying some coffee when all of a sudden he was attacked by Marz out of nowhere! Marz said he knew about Superfly complaining about Team Extreme not defending the Tag Team titles since they won, and said he was going to beat Superfly's ass down right then and there on Civil Action. Superfly met Marz in the ring, and managed to overcome a brutal attack, scoring the pin after hitting a stunner.

 

Backstage Chris Benoit was psyching himself up in his locker room getting words of encouragement from the new ICWW heavyweight champion Banging. After being eliminated before his fight Benoit was ready to take his aggressions out on Jason Shamrock. It wasn't to be however, Jason Shamrock proving to be too good after leveling the Canadian Crippler with the Alternate F4. After the match Benoit attacked Shamrock with the crossface.

 

Lord Nomad made his way to the ring responding to Josh Heartbrand and Xio's comments from earlier in the show. He said even though he's never beaten Xio, and Heartbrand is a great wrestler he wasn't afraid of either of them. Nomad said he showed the world he could beat Shamrock in his own match, and he could beat either one of them. This prompted Xio to enter and charge to the ring ready to take the National champion on. The match was fast paced but Xio was dominant early on. Nomad paused to taunt, getting a huge response from the crowd but when Xio tried all he got was a can of boos. In the end not even crowd support was enough when Xio hit the stunner and covered. Josh Heartbrand raced down to the ring then, as both Xio and he laid in to the National champion, laughing the whole time.

 

The cameras were directed backstage to the ICWW parking lot revealing a woman lying in a giant puddle of milk. Albert Beefcake was frantically trying to revive the woman, but was relieved by paramedics who took her to hospital. The woman was PR assistant Hayley Nick, and Albert swore then and there to find who had done this to her. He began recording clues including the fact she was covered in her own milk, there was a urine stain near by behind one of the cars, and what appeared to be tufts of hair on her shirt. The incident clearly had Albert concerned.

 

Oozaru challenged Shawn Michaels for the hardcore championship next, a challenge which the cocky Michaels was more than happy to accept. The two battled hard Oozaru unleashing amazing force on his opponent, but it wasn't enough to keep the battler in Michaels down. After hitting an incredible three sweet chin music super kicks he managed to cover Oozaru. After the match Oozaru left the arena quickly, apparently disgusted with losing.

 

Abel Lucifer interrupted proceedings making his way to the ring with a microphone. He said that after Inferno when Michael tried to burn his face he realised that there wasn't as shred of decency in him. This prompted the ICWW owner to enter, telling his brother that he of all people shouldn't speak about decency. Michael then proceeded to accuse his brother of attacking Hayley Nick, just like he had another girl years ago. The two brawled as CA ended.

No Holds Barred - Xio d. Lord Nomad

Albert was the first on the scene to assist Hayley Nick. He's sworn to tax his detective skills to figure out who did it.

ICWW: Inferno

October 27th - ICWW: Inferno Brother, I knew I could lure you out because you've always hated me. You've always hated my success, and you couldn't hide anymore. Now that I have you I will cleanse and purify your soul with hellfire so that you will know when our father died I became the lord of darkness, and you were just another heathen. My power is now, pray for your soul when you lay to sleep, because the reaper is coming.

Albert Beefcake d. William Regal

Albert Beefcake opened proceedings busting a move to take on William Regal in a one on one competition. Regal didn't look impressed as he went straight to work with an elbow to the face. Albert recovered quickly taking his British opponent down with a nice flapjack, and followed up with a powerful cocobutt. With Regal on the ropes, he revealed his brass knuckles, nailing Albert with the power of the punch and getting disqualified. Despite the loss he was satisfied.

 

Backstage Chris Benoit was stretching in his locker room talking to Banging. He said he was going to answer Shawn Michaels' open challenge for the hardcore championship. Banging wished him luck and left the room, then there was a knock on the door and Benoit was brutally attacked by someone that could not be seen clearly.

 

Eurasian championship match

The Rock d. Patrick Mannion (c)

Patrick Mannion put his newly won Eurasian championship on the line against The Rock who had been out of the ring for a little while was in good form. He took Mannion to town with a hard spinebuster and followed up with a nice samoan drop. With Mannion down it was time for the electrifying people's elbow, but Mannion managed to escape at the last minute! It wasn't enough in the end though, The Rock planted the champ with a Rock Bottom and got the cover to win. The Rock celebrated on the turnbuckle with the fans, holding his Eurasian championship high as Mannion congratulated him.

 

Hardcore championship match

Shawn Michaels (c) d. Silver Snake

Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring in an open challenge for his hardcore championship title. There was a silent pause when all of a sudden a familiar song played in the arena welcoming Silver Snake into the ICWW!!! He raced to the ring and attacked with a Lou Thesz press and followed quickly with an incredible spinebuster. Michaels retaliated with a DDT and took the opportunity to rummage under the ring, Silver Snake met him outside but got nailed with a shovel. He managed to hit a stunner, but Michaels took him down with a devil driver and a cocky pin.

 

Marz was interviewed next about Violent J and his absence. Marz said J would be back soon and everyone's wishes should be with the Tag Team/JCW champion. He said he was happy to have the night off, and would be kicking ass once more on ICWW: Civil Action, where he had a certain backstage target in mind.

 

Submission National championship match

Lord Nomad d. Jason Shamrock (c)

Things started with a lot of shoving, until Nomad was pushed into the ropes and took Shamrock down with a Lou Thesz press. Shamrock rolled with it though, hammering away at Nomad. Shamrock took his opponent down with a flapjack, but Nomad recovered locking up and then managing to clamp down a choke lift. Shamrock managed to slip out, but couldn't avoid a nasty short powerbomb. Nomad went for another choke lift, but Shamrock over powered him holding down the same move. Nomad grabbed the ropes and caught the National champ with a short chokeslam. Nomad clamped down the satanic 4, which was too much for Shamrock, eventually he was forced to tap out and give up his championship. Suddenly Chris Benoit's music started up as the new National champ prepared himself, but instead someone from the crowd raced into the ring and assaulted Nomad from behind with a chair - Josh Heartbrand!

Inferno Match

Michael Lucifer d. Abel Lucifer

The brothers stared at each other until Michael took his brother down hard with a clothesline. Abel struck back with a powerful heart punch, which stunned Mick long enough to drop him with a gut wrench powerbomb. Mick nailed his brother with a low blow, and dropped him with a huge death valley driver. Abel recovered well and slammed Mick with a jackhammer, trying to roll him into the fire. Mick escaped and grabbed Abel by the throat, but then Abel grabbed Mick's throat. Abel managed to out power his brother, dropping him with a chokeslam and then picked him up again to hit a devil driver when Mick reversed it into his own. He then sent Abel to the corner with a series of boxing rights and lefts, but Abel managed to backdrop Mick clear over the top and out of the ring. Unable to climb through the fire, Abel climbed the turnbuckle and dived with a flying clothesline, missing and getting planted into the announcers tables. Michael dragged his brother's body to the ring and forced his face into the fire. Abel frantically tore his burning mask off and ran to the back with Michael Lucifer laughing evilly in the ring.

 

After the Inferno match the cage was lowered while commentators Albert and Buddy spoke about the coming heavyweight title match, saying these two had met in hardcore title bouts with Oozaru coming on top, but never before had they or anyone else appeared in a cage match in ICWW.

Cage Heavyweight championship match

Banging d. Oozaru (c)

The competitors entered the ring, now surrounded by unforgiving steel mesh for the much anticipated heavyweight title match. Oozaru started off proceedings with a strong DDT and then went right to work, ramming Banging's head into the cage. Oozaru dropped Banging with a flapjack, which seemed to spawn some life as he hammered away with rights and lefts. Oozaru staggered trying to hit the flatliner, but instead Banging managed to reverse the move! Banging leveled Oozaru with an impressive powerbomb, and then in a humiliating show dropped him with his own finisher the Lag Buster! Oozaru was able to hit a furious Lag Buster of his own, producing blood from his battered opponent, but Banging was still the dominant party nailing his finisher the Kiwi Bomb and then climbed out of the cage to become the new heavyweight champion. Oozaru and Banging stared at each other through the mesh, when Chris Benoit appeared at the entrance way as Inferno came to an end.

ICWW: Aftershock (10/24/02)

ICWW: AFTERSHOCK                      OCTOBER 24, 2002

William Regal opened ICWW: Aftershock claiming that Albert Beefcake was an uncouth moron that had caused him great discomfort, breaking his nose after their previous encounter on the last Aftershock. He then declared that his power of the punch would take revenge, and prove that he was the greatest most skillful superstar in ICWW. Shawn Michaels appeared and said he could defeat William Regal without any problems at all. This prompted a match which resulted in William Regal winning with a Union Jack and a good strong pin. Regal took the microphone once more declaring that he had just proved to all that he was the greatest, Michaels swore that Regal got lucky and demanded Regal face him again, Hardcore title on the line. Regal excepted and Michaels proved too much, busting the former Eurasian champion's nose open and getting the pin fall to retain his hardcore championship.

 

Backstage Chris Benoit and Jason Shamrock found themselves in an encounter after Shamrock bragged his ankle lock submission was going to take care of Lord Nomad on the weekend, being that it was the best hold ever. Chris Benoit furiously declared the Crippler Crossface was the greatest submission in ICWW to date. The two face off in hardcore competition with not one submission being exchanged, instead the two attacked each other with furious anger in their moves. Eventually Shamrock came out on top after hitting the alternate F4.

 

In a hype match for the National match that would be seen on ICWW: Inferno, Lord Nomad took on Marz in a submission match. Marz although no Jason Shamrock proved he was a fair challenge for Lord Nomad utilising various submissions and giving him a lot of trouble. The Nomad found himself in a crossface hold but refused to tap out, instead passing out from the submission hold Marz refused to let go. At ICWW: Inferno not even passing out will save Lord Nomad from the pain Jason Shamrock has prepared to serve up to him.

 

In a reversing of the main events for ICWW: Inferno Michael Lucifer faced off against Banging. The two battled long and hard, but Michael Lucifer was too powerful for Banging this time. Michael Lucifer was able to exact more pain on Banging, who was at the bottom of his list after siding with his brother.

 

In the second reversed match Oozaru took on Abel Lucifer in Abel's first match. The heavyweight bound big monkey was pumped unleashing a fury like never before on Abel Lucifer. Oozaru again brandished a chair using it to plaster the Lucifer brother into next week much the same way he had to Benoit. Oozaru hit the Lag Buster and got the cover, which prompted Banging and Chris Benoit to run to the ring attacking Oozaru. Michael Lucifer raced to make the save, but with Abel recovered Mick and Oozaru were on the receiving end of the beat down this time, until Lord Nomad ran down to even the score. Suddenly Jason Shamrock raced to the ring as well attacking both Nomad and Chris Benoit. Aftershock went off the air with the war in-ring raging.

ICWW: Civil Action (10/22/02)

ICWW: CIVIL ACTION                      OCTOBER 22, 2002

ICWW: Civil Action was electric as the Inferno week kicked off in outstanding fashion.
Rising star Dez Burnett defeated Phenom after reversing a figure four leg lock to win by submission in outstanding fashion. Backstage Phenom managed to get some revenge attacking the rising star from behind with a steel pole. Mad Knifa the Cat was disqualified when he attacked The Rock with a chair in their one on one encounter. JCW champion Scott Hall defeated his rival Violent J in a JCW exhibition match, Violent J wasn't happy. In a hardcore match not for the championship Oozaru absolutely dominated over Chris Benoit maintaining his streak of being undefeated since his return, and proving that he was the ICWW hardcore master. Lord Nomad lost against National champion Jason Shamrock in a long awaited defense of the title. Mick Lucifer made an appearance warning his brother that on his turf there was no way he could be beaten because he had a lot of people supporting him. Abel Lucifer entered the arena telling his brother that he had friends of his own, and challenged Mick Lucifer to face some of them in a tag team match right then and there. Chris Benoit and Banging raced toward the ring in ready stance to face the owner. Oozaru came for the save but got both he and his partner disqualified when he used a weapon in brutal fashion on Chris Benoit. Oozaru and Mick Lucifer laid a beat down on Chris Benoit and Banging as Civil Action went off the air.
