Episode #37
Stat-Man and Buddy Luv were out of their seats as Civil Action kicked off, taking
easy in the heated ICWW arena with rain pouring down outside.
Stat-Man told Luv that Marc Scott was matched up against X-Pac later in the night,
and he would be accompanied by security, with concerns that someone was
hacking ICWW again. Buddy Luv agreed that there had been problems updating the
ICWW website, and Marc Scott was under suspicion. Stat-Man then told Buddy Luv
that later in the night Michael Lucifer would meet Violent J, with the two of them
signed to fight for the tag team championships at Fatal Attractions!
Backstage Banging confronted the International champion, Steven Oozaru, and
asked him what was going on. Oozaru looked at his partner puzzled, and Banging
said that they had been through a lot of different stages, and breaking the team
up for Oozaru's world title hopes he could live with, but seeing him team with Marz
and Violent J didn't sit well with him at all. The world champion said he was
disappointed that Banging couldn't just be happy for him. He said he was silly to
think Banging wouldn't be jealous of his victory, and he thought that was sad.
Loopster versus The Godfather
The Sick One made his way to the ring for a one on one clash against the Godfather,
since breaking from the Suck Squad Loopster was looking to raise his profile again.
Loopster wasted no time, breaking up the Godfather's ceremonious entrance,
attacking him with a running axe handle, before whipping him into the ring. The
Godfather used the advantage to hit the ropes, taking Loopster down with a hard
clothesline. Loopster stumbled as Godfather hoisted him up, taking him down with
a big Samoan drop, stopping to appeal to his ladies and the crowd with a little bouncing.
Loopster looked for a school boy, but Godfather kicked out quickly. Loopster hit
the ropes, coming back with a flying dropkick, and then connected with a spinning
leg drop. With the Godfather down the sick one went up stairs, coming down with
a flying elbow drop. Loopster looked for a fall, but the Godfather managed to kick
out right at the last second. Loopster helped his opponent to his feet, but found
himself with a struggle, with the Godfather throwing desperate right hands at Loopster
before locking up with a bear hug! Loopster managed to struggle his way out of the
hold, and connected with the sick factor, scoring the cover.
Winner: Loopster via pin fall [4:25]
Gwen Lucifer was in her office when Rockey Rakesh knocked on the door and
entered. He said that Steven Oozaru had promised him a title match if he turned on
Statix and Lucifer on Aftershock, and he wanted to know why it hadn't been signed.
The secretary to the CEO told the firecracker that while Steven Oozaru could
suggest a contender, he was in no position to promise matches. She said the best
she could do was offer him a contender match later in the night. Rakesh agreed,
and before he left Gwen said that there would be one catch, it would not be a no
holds barred match up. Rakesh said that was fine by him.
Marc Scott versus X-Pac
Security accompanied Marc Scott on his way to the ring, for a one on one match
against recent recruit X-Pac! The young superstar raced to the ring, and went to
work, shooting out a series of punches before knocking Scott down with a hard
spinning heel kick. Scott hopped to his feet, and tried to slow X-Pac down with a
hard shot to the jaw, and a uranagi! X-Pac recovered quickly, showing a lot of
heart with another spinning heel kick, and then connected with the x-factor!
The rookie superstar made the roll up cover, and scored a pin fall.
Winner: X-Pac via pin fall [2:36]
Backstage Albert Beefcake was with Statix, discussing the current RSI case.
Statix speculated that the last message was telling them that Steven Oozaru
was a bishop in the attacker's army. They said that much like an attacking bishop,
Oozaru snuck in from the side, took the world title, and slipped away again.
The Beefer pondered, and agreed that Statix had many good theories, and this
was one of them. Albert jotted notes down in his RSI case pad, and told Statix
that he should keep on the look out for new clues.
Number one contender match
Rockey Rakesh versus The Nomad
The Heavyweight champion was looking to further his goals in domination with
an opportunity to become a dual champion on the line. The little fire cracker was
none too happy about the opposition, and it could be seen in his aggressive attack,
as he exploded into the ring with a wild Lou Thesz press.
The heavyweight champion fought back, taking Rakesh down with a crescent kick,
before catching him on the way up with a huge bulldog takedown!
The little fire cracker slipped to the outside to gather himself, but the Nomad followed,
slamming his opponent face first into the apron. He looked to continue the pain,
looking for an Irish whip, but Rakesh managed to counter it, sending the heavyweight
champ into the outer side of the turnbuckle! Rockey tore away at the floor, looking
to use the exposed floor to his advantage, but walked right into the red mist!
Rakesh staggered, giving Nomad time to recover in the ring. As Rakesh looked to
enter Nomad brought him in with a vertical suplex, and stomped down on the fallen
superstar. He turned to the crowd to appeal when suddenly out of nowhere Rhyno's
theme hit and the former champ raced down to the ring and hit the gore on the
Nomad! The referee called the match a disqualification, awarding the victory to Nomad.
Winner: The Nomad via disqualification [4:19]
In the back Shane Altmann was with Mints Jones, and asked him how he was
feeling with a win on the board already. Jones said he was thrilled to have won his
first match in the ICWW, and was about ready to start being taken seriously. He was
disappointed not to be on the Civil Action card, but he was using the time to rest.
Altmann asked him what encouraged him to agree to work in ICWW. Jones told him
that it was all about showing people that he could be a serious competitor. He said
moving up the ranks in the little leagues was fine, but he was ready to get him some
major league game, and some major league gold.
Shane McMahon approached, and told Jones that he shouldn't get out of his class.
Mints offered McMahon a dose of mintitude, and a challenge for Fatal Attractions.
Diamond Dallas Page made his way to the ring next, and said that he hoped he
was sending a very positive message to all the ICWW fans, and that message was
that you can do anything if you set your mind to it. He told fans that he thought
Banging was a good sport, and even though it wouldn't be fair to give him another
shot at the hardcore title, it was fair to give him a round of applause.
Banging stepped out at the entrance way, and told DDP that he could shove
his Doctor Phil act up his arse. DDP acknowledged that maybe it was a little show
boating of him, and offered Banging a chance to earn his own.
Diamond Dallas Page versus Banging
The hardcore champion tossed his title aside, as Banging raced down to the ring
and went on the charge with a running knee, taking DDP down by the jaw. Banging
hit the ropes, catching the hardcore champ with a diving forearm. Banging picked
the hardcore title up, and held it high above his head for the crowd, before coming
down atop DDP with a striking axe kick. The champ was out on his feet, nailing
Banging with a desperation low blow. Banging went down, as DDP used the
turnbuckle to pull himself up, staggering before smiling to the crowd, and going to
work on Banging with unrelenting stomps to the chest. DDP picked Banging up
and tied up, but the experience of the first grandslam champion kicked in, seeing
him escape and shoot DDP into the ropes, catching him with a dandy Samoan drop!
Banging picked the champ up, and slammed him back to the mat with the Kiwi
bomb, scoring the cover and mocking DDP with a thumbs up as he took the win.
Winner: Banging via pin fall [4:48]
Elsewhere in the ICWW arena Jason Shamrock was heading for the ICWW gym
with his gym bag, when suddenly Chris Benoit came out of nowhere, attacking
the shoot fighter from behind in an unprovoked attack! The Canadian crippler
proceeded to annihilate Shamrock, throwing him to the arena floor before laying
in with the boots, before laughing and walking away, leaving a brutalized
Shamrock on the cold floors, with a probable concussion.
Violent J versus Michael Lucifer
Violent J made his way to the ring accompanied by the new Y2Juggalo, Shaggy
2 Dope for his match with Michael Lucifer. The Spirit of Vengeance stalked his
way to the ring, storming into the ring, sending VJ and Shaggy scattering.
Violent J jumped into the ring, measuring the big man up, before heading straight
into the fire. Lucifer unloaded with throat thrusts, driving the tag champ into the
corner, before tossing him across the ring with a throat toss! The crowd went
wild as the spirit of vengeance picked Violent J up and grabbed him by the
throat, but VJ connected with a kick to the midsection, and pounded down on
his opponent, before hitting the scissors kick! Violent J took the opportunity to
whip the crowd into an even bigger frenzy with the J-arooni! Lucifer staggered
to his feet, using the rope to steady him, while Shaggy 2 Dope snuck up on the
outside and pulled his feet out from under him! Violent J leapt on the fallen big man,
locking up with the walls of juggalo. Lucifer managed to reach for the ropes, forcing
J to break the hold. With Lucifer down, J looked to go upstairs, but found himself
with no place to go but down, in the form of a shocking death valley driver.
Lucifer pulled VJ up and sent him into the ropes, ending it with the devil driver.
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [5:41]
After the match, Shaggy and Violent J attacked Lucifer as Marz raced down to the
ring to help. It wasn't long before Statix, Albert and Abel all made the save, but
the damage was already done, gashes on Lucifer's forehead and eyebrow being
reopened, as vengeance lay in a pool of blood, with the jokers of the dark lotus
cackling like jackals laughing out Civil Action.
Special mention:
Retribution comes
for the former grand
slam champion, as
he looks to make
a new name for
himself in ICWW.
