Heavyweight title - Rhyno d. Rockey Rakesh [c]

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were in the commentary booth for Civil Action!
They discussed the final confrontation between Rhyno and Rockey Rakesh, plus more
including a match between Marz and Michael Lucifer, and finally the mysterious
law enforcer would be revealed to the ICWW fans and superstars alike.
The promo seen last week played as the crowd prepared to finally meet the arrival
of the new superstar. His music kicked up and out stepped the Godfather!
The Godfather laughed and danced his way onto the stage, bringing out a string of
hoes behind him! An irate looking Deputy ran through the hoes and attacked the
Godfather with his nightstick! The Deputy snatched Godfather's microphone from
him, and asked him who the hell he thought he was interrupting his entrance.
The Deputy told him that there was a new sheriff in town, and he wasn't going to
put up with crap like that. The Deputy stomped down on the Godfather some more,
before telling the crowd that there was a match coming up called Highway to Hell,
a match he had seen first hand, which was why he was in ICWW to be the official
enforcer for the match, to make sure nothing would run afoul.
The Pacific Connection made their way to the ring next and called out the tag team
champions. The champions, Hurricane and Matt Hardy, stepped into the ring resulting
in a stand-off. Oozaru challenged the champions to a title match, but Matt Hardy
said that they deserved a grander stage if they were to defend the titles, because
there wasn't enough mattitude in the arena. Hardy said that if Banging could beat
him one on one, then they would be granted a title match at Highway to Hell.
Oozaru and Hurricane stayed at ringside, as their partners prepared to duke it out
with a title match for Highway to Hell on the line. They tied up, Banging earning the
early advantage with a DDT, and then went off the ropes, missing a big elbow drop.
Hardy used the slip up to his advantage, taking Banging down with a swinging neck
breaker, which left him open for a second rope leg drop. He went for the early
cover, but only scored a two. On the outside Oozaru and Hurricane started to tussle
it up, distracting Hardy momentarily, allowing Banging to shoot Hardy off the ropes
and plant him with a Samoan drop. Banging picked Hardy up, looking for the Kiwi
Bomb, but Hardy telegraphed it, countering into the twist of fate, and a cover.
Albert Beefcake made his way to the ring for the latest round of Big Beefer!
The Alaskan Bear-Whale reminded fans that in this special round, only eliminated
superstars could vote for elimination. He said that the Nomad and Jason Shamrock
elected not to vote, which meant that by a very small margin, this week's eliminated
superstar was Statix by 66%! Albert announced that only four superstars remained
which meant they were reaching the business end of the competition!
Marc Scott made his way to the ring next in an unscheduled moment. He asked for
a microphone and then told the crowd to shut up. He took fans back to last week,
showing footage on the big screen of his victory over Statix. He said with that in
mind, he was horrified to be surfing the internet, and discovering that he is still
ranked below Statix in many people's eyes. He told the crowd that Statix was nothing
but a lucky, dime store hack with big cartoon hair. He reminded the crowd that he
was a two time former tag team champion, and a seven time hardcore champion.
He said that he didn't even like the undisciplined style of hardcore wrestling, but he
managed to adapt as only he could. He demanded satisfaction - Enter the Statix.
Statix said he didn't know what the source of Scott's problem was, and didn't much
care. He told him that bigger things were going on in the ICWW, and then said that
they should finish it right then and there in the squared circle.
Scott met Statix as he slid into the ring, stomping down on him, before tying up with
a front face lock, and taking him over with a vertical suplex. Scott stomped down
on Statix, taunting to the crowd. Statix jumped up with a second wind, hitting the
ropes and taking Scott down with a big spinning heel kick. He picked Scott up, and
shot him into the turnbuckle, looking for a running shoulder thrust, but the experience
of Marc Scott shined as he jumped over Statix, reversing into a roll up, but only
got a two count. They locked up, Statix coming out with a jump swinging DDT, and
from there the rolling thunder allowed Statix to make the cover; Scott kicking out
just after the three. Scott continued to assault Statix after the match, clamping down
with the Boston crab. The Referee had to pull Scott off of the sensation, but not
before he put the boot in a few more times for good measure.
Backstage Michael Lucifer was watching his protégé getting assaulted on a monitor
in the locker room halls, when Marz was heading to his room. Lucifer told Marz to
wait, because he had a question for him. Lucifer said that while IWA was around, he
worked for Marz and Violent J, which was around about the time things started going
to hell for him. He asked Marz if he knew anything, since he had been in charge.
Marz ignored Lucifer, which prompted him to attack him from behind!
With the International champion stunned on the ground, Lucifer challenged him to
a match in the night's headlining slot. Marz was unable to deny the challenge.
Rhyno made his way to the ring to face Rockey Rakesh for his heavyweight title.
Having won the Grand Tour challenge, Rhyno was looking in fine, well earned, form.
Rakesh paced in his corner as the bell sounded, with Rhyno maintaining a steely
gaze. Rakesh hit the ropes, taking Rhyno back with a drop kick, before going off
again, looking to maintain the momentum. Rhyno rolled out of the way of the leg
drop, and began the assault, with a devastating spinebuster slam. With Rakesh
down Rhyno stomped down on the fallen champion, before picking him up and
dropping him straight back down with a powerbomb. The challenger backed off into
a corner, waiting for Rakesh to make it to his feet, and into position for the gore,
but Rakesh saw what was happening, and rolled to the outside. He pulled out a
steel chair and returned to the ring, looking to use it as a weapon against Rhyno!
Rhyno took a hard shot to the head, but didn't go down, Rakesh swung the chair
again, and still no effect! Rakesh tapped the chair to the midsection, and stepped
over for the Indian powerbomb, but Rhyno managed to hold out. He regained his
composure and shoved Rakesh back, taking him down with the gore and a cover.
Rhyno mounted the turnbuckle with the championship in his hand, the new ICWW
heavyweight champion for the first time in his career.
Backstage a brawl was taking place between the Rock and the Nomad! Kurt Angle,
Chris Jericho, Chaos Drone and Dez Burnett were there to help pull the superstars
apart. The Rock warned Nomad that at Highway to Hell, there would be no one to
hold him back from beating the blue hell out of him. The Nomad reminded Rock
of the win/loss record between then, before asking him to cook that.
The International champion made his way to the ring for a non-title match against
Michael Lucifer. Lucifer made his way to the ring accompanied by Statix, despite
the attack felt last week. Lucifer appeared the far more dominating presence in the
ring, but the world champion matched his icey glare. Marz went on the attack first,
taking Lucifer back with elbow shots and then an Irish whip, leaving Lucifer open
for a thrust kick. Lucifer staggered back, and Marz went in with a swinging neck
breaker. The champ turned to the crowd and stood with his arms stretched out,
giving Lucifer an opening to lock up with a dragon sleeper. Marz found the ropes,
only to have Lucifer break the hold, and turn him into a throat toss. Marz struggled
to his feet as Lucifer shot the champ off the ropes, and caught him with a thunderous
back breaker. He went for the cover but only scored a one, Marz going on the attack
once more with an uppercut, sending Lucifer reeling and allowing Marz the room to
hit the springboard kick off of the corner! He looked to follow up with a whip, but
Lucifer reversed it, sending Marz right into the grasp of Statix from the outside!
Statix grabbed the ankle, distracting Marz while Lucifer gathered himself and
prepared for a chokeslam. Marz turned around, and instead kicked Lucifer just south
of the border, and dropped him with a devastating DDT, giving Marz the pin fall.
Lucifer rolled out of the ring and began shouting in Statix' face, while Marz mounted
the turnbuckle with his arms outstretched, and the International championship strap
in hand, as Civil Action came to a conclusive ending.
