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.
