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.
