Episode #38
Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were ring-side for the all new look Aftershock!
They discussed Civil Action and the brutal attack made by Michael Lucifer against
Marz, who was inadvertently saved by Michael's brother, Abel! They speculated some
further developments in the night, and also had a merry word for the date, July fourth!
They said that Kurt Angle had a special announcement later in the night for the occasion.
Enter the Statix.
Green pyros shot across the entrance as the sensation made his way to the ring, with
something on his mind. Statix took a microphone, and asked the crowd if they believed
in fate. At that moment Kurt Angle's theme music hit the PA, and the Olympic hero made
his way to the ring with a big smile across his face. Angle jumped into the ring and
basked in the glow of the crowd, before telling Statix he'd take it from there.
Statix glared at Angle, who was apparently oblivious to the situation, instead focusing
his attention on reminding fans that he was an American hero. He said that it was a
very special day for Americans everywhere, but not just Americans. Angle said that
today was a day that celebrated liberation, and independence, and there were people
all around the world experiencing that. Statix snatched the microphone from Angle,
prompting the Olympian to furrow his brow. He asked Statix what the hell he thought
he was doing, he asked if Statix knew who he was standing in the ring with.
Kurt Angle versus Statix
Statix threw the first punch, following it up with a barrage of elbows, before whipping
Angle into the ropes. Statix hit the mat as Angle went over, and was caught on the way
back with a monkey toss. Statix continued the pace, following it up with the rolling
thunder, causing himself some back problems. Angle made it to his feet, taking Statix
down with a fireman's carry, taking the opportunity to clamp down with the ankle lock!
Statix scrambled for the ropes, desperate to protect his biggest in-ring commodity,
being his vertical base. Angle again looked to take the ankle, but earned himself a boot
to the face for his troubles. Statix continued the assault, striking him with a spinning
heel kick, before following up with a jump swinging DDT. Statix ran up the turnbuckle,
using it to propel him through the air for a springboard moonsault. Statix held his
mid-section, as Angle staggered to his feet and hit Statix with a belly to back suplex.
Both men were down, slowly making their way to a vertical base. Statix took Angle
down with the Static slam, and went upstairs, finishing up with a frog splash.
Winner: Statix via pin fall [4:29]
Backstage Chris Benoit and Marc Scott were having a friendly conversation in the
hallway when suddenly Dez Burnett burst out of a locker room, and slammed into the
hallway wall. Michael Lucifer stepped out looking furious, and demanded to know
where the two jackals were. Lucifer continued to assault Burnett, before heading in
the direction of the parking lot.
Chris Jericho was near by, and asked who the hell Lucifer thought he was. He said
that he couldn't just beat him in the grand tour, and then strut around attacking
people and thinking he was boss. The Godfather told Jericho that he had been in
the ring with Lucifer, and he didn't think it was a good idea to bother him. Jericho
frowned, and asked Godfather who he thought he was. Jericho told him that he
was an ass clown peasant, and he should bow down to his king of the world.
The Godfather laughed and told Jericho that it was all good, which apparently upset
the king, who told him that he'd be his jester in the ring later in the night.
The Hurricane versus Banging
Fans stood back as the Hurricane came blowing in! ICWW's super hero gave fans
the thumbs up as he wooshed his way to the ring for a one on one encounter with
tag team contender Banging, who was a victim of a sinister attack by the tag champs
on Civil Action. Banging wasted no time getting the match underway, exchanging
punches with the Hurricane, before gaining the upper hand and dropping him with
a vertical suplex. Banging hit the ropes, looking for a big leg drop, but Hurricane
managed to scramble out of the way, and shot Banging into the ropes. Banging looked
for a clothesline, but Hurricane managed to dodge it and counter with a floating
neck breaker. Hurricane made a cover, but only got a two count, prompting him
to make the mounted punches. The referee broke the attack, giving Banging the
opportunity to strike Hurricane with an axe kick. It wasn't smooth enough to hold
Hurricane back, who dropped Banging with a toe kick, and then went off the ropes,
connecting with a bicycle kick! He again went for the cover, but got two and a half.
He brought Banging to his feet, and clamped down for what was set to be a chokeslam,
but Banging nailed the hero with a boot to the gut, and slammed him with a DDT!
Banging climbed the turnbuckle, and as Hurricane staggered to his feet, launched a
missile dropkick! Banging rolled Hurricane up, and scored the three count.
Winner: Banging via pin fall [8:14]
The Nomad arrived in the arena with his duffle bag, as Michael Lucifer could be heard
in the background shouting and hitting cars. Shane Altmann approached Nomad and
asked him what his thoughts were on the Rock, and Highway to Hell. Nomad told Altmann
that it was clear to him, the Rock was pathetic. Nomad said he couldn't handle the big
leagues six months ago, and he sure as hell couldn't handle them now. Nomad pondered,
and admitted that he might be intimidated too, seeing that the Nomad was such a
dominating force. Nomad said that he had beaten the best; Marz, Violent J, Michael Lucifer,
and some of the worst, like perhaps Loopster and The Rock. Nomad told Altmann that
the Rock couldn't handle him, he never would be able to, and as far as him this was just
an opportunity to notch one more jobber in his barrel. The Suck Squad pushed Altmann
aside, and approached the Nomad. They asked him what he thought he was doing
bagging the Rock. They reminded Nomad that he was a former Eurasian, and hardcore
champion, a title Nomad had never held. Nomad frowned, and asked the Squad what
they thought they were doing. Chaos Drone said that the Rock supported them, and the
Nomad was nothing more than a hate machine, giving people hate food.
The Nomad agreed that he definitely hated them, and smacked Loopster across the head.
Loopster told Nomad that he couldn't get away with that, and unconfidently challenged
him to a match. Nomad laughed, and walked away.
Chris Jericho versus The Godfather
The King of the World made his entrance, and took a microphone to say a few words,
only to have the Godfather's music interrupt, as the ho-train master made his way out
on the entrance, accompanied by some of his finest ladies. Jericho scrunched his face
up, looking bewildered at the Godfather's entrance. With the pimp daddy in the ring,
Jericho shoved him and asked him what the hell he was doing. Godfather sheepishly
grinned and shrugged, as Jericho threw a wild right hand.
Jericho sent the Godfather off the ropes, only to find himself on the receiving end of
a ho-train running splash! Jericho staggered to his feet while the Godfather danced it
up for the crowd. Jericho attack from behind, slamming the Godfather down with a
face buster, before getting serious with an attempt at a lionsault early on. Godfather
escaped the move, leaving Jericho to land nimbly on his feet. Godfather swung for
a haymaker, but Jericho ducked it, countering into a front russian leg sweep.
Jericho made a cover, but only got a one. He picked Godfather up, and went for the Irish
whip, only to have it countered. Godfather caught Jericho on the back with a high leg
clothesline, and went off the ropes, planting a big leg drop! Godfather backed up into the
corner and started running on the spot, charging as Jericho staggered to his feet
for the pimp drop! Godfather made the cover, as the arena counted along with the three.
Godfather remained in the ring dancing with his ladies as Jericho had a tantrum on his
way up the aisle, clearly not happy with another loss.
Winner: The Godfather via pin fall [5:34]
In the offices Gwen Lucifer was looking concerned when her husband burst into the
room. He demanded to know if she had seen Marz or Abel, and she told him to calm
down. She said that she hadn't seen them anywhere, and he shouldn't be so hasty.
Lucifer peered through the darkness around his eyes, and told his wife that he could not
be at peace until he brought them to justice, before storming out.
Rockey Rakesh entered and asked if everything was alright, and Gwen told Rakesh
that it was just Michael being Michael. Rakesh laughed, but supported his bhai.
Gwen then asked Rakesh if he knew anything about computers, because after getting
her last e-mail from the mystery CEO, she had been having problems.
Rakesh asked what the e-mail was regarding, and Gwen told him that next week on
Civil Action, Abel Lucifer would have an International title shot against Marz!
Oozaru versus Marc Scott
Marc Scott made his way to the ring to face off against Oozaru in a pre-signed matched.
The Aussie wasn't showing any physical signs from the double team he suffered at the
hands of the tag team champions on Civil Action.
The two men sized each other up, tying up, with Oozaru gaining the strong hand. He
shot Scott in the stomach with a hard boot, and took him down with a hard clothesline.
Oozaru taunted to the crowd, before picking Scott up for a powerbomb. Scott managed
to fight his way out of the gut wrench, hammering with hard shots to the body, and a
perfect standing dropkick! He went for the cover, but Oozaru kicked out at one.
Scott went off the ropes, only to be caught by Oozaru with a chokeslam! Oozaru laughed
and said that it wasn't over, picking Scott up for a full nelson bomb. He made the
cover, scoring an easy three with a cocky pin.
The tag team champions raced down to the ring, but this time the Aussie giant came
out on top. Throwing all three opponents out of the ring, and roaring with aggression.
Winner: Oozaru via pin fall [3:15]
Albert Beefcake strutted to the ring as the Rar Rap hit the arena. Indeed they were
dealing with the factor, as Albert had a special Big Beefer announcement. He reminded
fans that it was now down to the final three of; Banging, Shaggy 2 Dope and Rockey.
Albert said that each superstar was asked who they wanted eliminated, which would
be revealed exclusively in the Rar Report, however, another elimination would be
determined via a decision from the mystery CEO. The first interference from the CEO
in the competition, in it's eight rounds.
Albert wished all three luck, before busting his way to the back.
Loopster versus The Nomad
Loopster made his way to the ring accompanied by his Suck Squad partner, Chaos
Drone. The Suck One hit the ropes, having not performed a lot in the past months,
while awaiting the arrival of the Nomad.
The former International champion entered the ring with a smirk on his face, as
he eyed his competition. The bell sounded, and after a brief stand-off, Loopster went
on the attack, looking for what seemed to be the Suck Factor, but was countered
into a short powerbomb by the Nomad. Nomad tied up with a figure four leglock on
Loopster, to which he tapped out to almost instantly.
Winner: The Nomad via submission [0:59]
A wall of fire burst up at the entrance as the Spirit of Vengeance made his way to
the ring, Michael Lucifer. He stood in the ring, peering out at the audience through
heavy set eyes. He called the International champion, and his brother Abel out,
but was only met with the world champ, Marz. He entered the ring and matched the
stare of Lucifer. Michael told him that in his hand he held a leather strap. He told Marz
that it was attached to him, and soon Marz would be bound to it, just as vengeance
was bound to his soul, so that he may know retribution at his hand.
Marz snatched the mic. and said if it was a strap match Lucifer wanted, he was game.
Four Corners Strap match
Michael Lucifer versus Marz
The Referee bound the strap around Marz' wrist, and the bell sounded.
Lucifer lunged at the world champ, who used his speed advantage to avoid the grasp
of Lucifer. Eventually Lucifer used the strap to jerk Marz closer, and strike him with a
throat thrust. He picked Marz up, slamming him into the turnbuckle with a throat toss,
and continued the assault with a barrage of punches, and another throat toss, sending
him across the ring. Lucifer stomped down on Marz, apparently showing no concern
for winning the match, but rather, exacting revenge. Marz managed to nail Lucifer with
a low blow, and swing the momentum in his favour as he attacked Lucifer with punches
of his own, before dropping him with a double arm DDT. Marz tagged his first turnbuckle,
and went back to work on Lucifer, using the strap to choke him out. Lucifer managed
to maneuver Marz in front of him, and slammed him down with a chokeslam.
Both men were down, Lucifer gaping for air, before walking right into a springboard kick
off the second rope from the world champion. Marz tagged a second turnbuckle, before
climbing it and launching himself with a cross body block! Lucifer caught the world champ,
and drove him spine first into the turnbuckle, and slammed him to the mat with a back
breaker. Lucifer attempted to tag his first turnbuckle, but Marz yanked the strap back.
Lucifer clamped down on Marz with a death grip, and again looked like he would
chokeslam Marz, but instead fell victim to a second low blow! Marz tagged his third
turnbuckle, and then turned to use the strap as a whipping weapon!
Michael Lucifer snatched the strap out of Marz' hand, and loomed over him, using his
strength to press Marz above his head, and toss him into the corner. Marz was able to
tag the turnbuckle, earning him the win.
Winner: Marz via 4-0 turnbuckles [10:49]
Lucifer shoved the referee away, continuing the assault against Marz with a tombstone
piledriver! He dragged Marz to his feet and wrapped the strap around his throat, before
tossing him over the top rope to the outside, and effectively hanging him!
The strap snapped, allowing Marz to fall to the outside, as Lucifer remained in the
ring, his eyes rolled back and an evil smirk creeping across his face, as Aftershock
came to an end on this breezy independence day.
Special mention:
Abel Lucifer will
receive a shot at the
International title
belt, next week on
Civil Action!
