Special: Dead Or Alive X

Fifteen years ago... one fateful decision laid the groundwork for a vision that is still being celebrated to this very day! ICWW was a renegade proposition when it launched, but from The Frontline of its earliest struggles -- a trail was blazed to create a Revolution & Retribution unlike any other!

Legends were forged in the fires of ICWW's Inferno, pushing mere mortals beyond Breaking Point! Their souls danced amidst the Dark Carnival, damned as they pursued a Kingdom Come of glory and gold. Their heinous Reckoning was to walk a Highway to Hell, but their reward for this Fatal Attraction was to go beyond the End of Infinity! Their path ended where it had already been, delivered thy Kingdom Come - but what if they survived...?

On the 15th Anniversary of ICWW, the greatest legends in ICWW history have converged once again at the event that defines their legacy! Imagine their surprise to find themselves living and so very much alive! Kill them if you can! This is the event of immortals! This is: Dead Or Alive X!



15. Ratt & NightHawk issue championship challenge for All-Star Summer Showdown!
Before the celebrations could end: Ratt & NightHawk entered The Great Arena to the shock of everyone in attendance! CCShadow & Scott-Howell may've secured their dynasty with another big victory over the legendary Pacific Connection -- but they will face an even bigger challenge at this year's All-Star Summer Showdown! Ratt & NightHawk lost the Duo Division Championship in a memorable upset at The Spring Classic! On Sunday, August 20th - they will come to reclaim their title in a rematch at Supercard 97! A bombshell challenge to bring Dead Or Alive X to a close!

14. CCShadow & Scott-Howell (c) defeated "The Pacific Connection" Oozaru & Banging in a competitive encounter. [+1] [Duo Division Championship]
The Pacific Connection were revered as two-time ICWW Tag Team Champions, but in their three attempts, they haven't been able to dethrone Duo Division Champions: CCShadow & Scott-Howell! Their epic rivalry began with a blockbuster title match on the May 5th edition of Friday Night Fights. It quickly led to another five-star superfight in the main event of Pre-Show 93! Their final encounter at Supercard 94: Red Reign seemingly proved the champs had The Connection's number, but after Oozaru & Banging's brief pursuit of solo gold at Royal Roulette, there was an appetite for one more main event!

The people wanted to see The Pacific Connection turn back the clock to their title winning glory days of Breaking Point, Highway to Hell, or even Royal Roulette 2012! If they did - it would mean carrying the prestigious Duo Division Championship into All-Star Summer Showdown! Unfortunately for them, the ICWW 15th Anniversary has fallen in the middle of CCShadow & Scott-Howell's ascension to legendary duo status! It was once again a high-level, high-octane clash of these two rival tandems that could've dominated any other teams! They delivered another incredible match, but as fatigue and lactic acid set in - it was clear the champions had the extra gear! A scintillating title defense may have crushed the fairy tale ending for DOAX, but it once again confirms the dynasty of a new era of two-man fighting! The Pacific Connection shook hands with their rivals, before leaving The Great Arena to a chorus of cheers. The Champions joined in the applause, but their celebration would not be the final scene at Dead Or Alive X!...

13. Genku defeated "Y2Juggalo" Violent`J in a comprehensive victory. [+1]
Dead Or Alive V was the last time Chairman Mick went to war as the fabled "Spirit of Vengeance". It was a fitting end to his fighting career, striking down his last unvanquished nemesis - the man who brought an end to ICWW: "Mystery CEO" DaemonX. Though DX returned to lead an Invasion of The Great Arena, Mick remained out of the spotlight as League Chairman. There was no reason to fight -- until Genku began a campaign that culminated in a spiteful challenge for DOAX! True to his word, Genku entered The Great Arena to await the answer to his challenge. Those that knew him as Michael Lucifer likely figured the ICWW 15th Anniversary would inspire a return, but the "quality opponent" the Chairman promised was an ICWW World Champion of a very different kind!

"Y2Juggalo" Violent`J officially pledged allegiance to The Invasion at last year's DOA, but tension with Genku led VJ to support false claims of vote tampering after The Invasion Election. They fought at Battle Royale, and again at The Spring Classic. It probably shouldn't have come as a surprise, then, when Violent`J entered The Great Arena in Mick's place! It simply wouldn't have been an ICWW DOA Anniversary without Violent`J: the only man in history to have held both the ICWW World and great arena Undisputed Championships! Genku wasn't feeling the nostalgia, though. He wasted no time delivering a devastating knock-out to the Hall of Fame legend! Spitting on VJ in disgust, Genku addressed the stunned audience in attendance, declaring Mick a failure as Chairman - and a coward!

12. United: The_Purple_Bunny defeated "The Predator" TonyTheTiger and Marz in a dominant endurance performance! [+1/--/-1]
Hall of Fame legend Marz needed no introduction when he was a surprise entrant into this year's Royal Roueltte match. In ICWW he was the longest reigning World Champion, and in The Great Arena he held the Duo Division Championship for a record shattering 420 consecutive days! He outlasted "The Predator" TonyTheTiger in the Royal Roulette final four, but succumbed to the combined assault of winner Poasty, and United: The_Purple_Bunny! TPB has been desperate to earn his 7th Undisputed Championship win in 2017, but has been continually derailed. He was happy, then, when Marz was taken out of the equation in the first stage of the three-way struggle. TPB kept on top of the fight, rewriting the finish of the thirty-man battle royal with a dominant DOAX victory!

11. "The New Generation" DECEPTION & Onryo defeated "The Invasion" Jason_Voorhees & edge in a comprehensive victory. [+2]
"Hollywood" Jason_Voorhees was one of the last stars to rise in the final days of ICWW. Records of a rumored Tag Team Championship have been lost, but since bringing edge to The Great Arena, he's led one of the hottest Duo Division contenders in the league! DECEPTION & Onryo both had brief brushes with ICWW, but found stardom in The Great Arena! They won Duo Division gold way back at Supercard 18, recently reuniting to conquer Onryo's UGP7 white whales: Mark & Leroy! At Dead Or Alive IX, Onryo went solo to beat edge, setting the stage for a tag team dream match for DOAX! Alas; The Invasion's dreams of payback were cut short as they faced a force unlike any they've met in The Great Arena before! The pure power of "The Hitman" DECEPTION led a dominant New Gen offense, leaving no doubt about the final result and The New Generation's rapid rise back to the top!

10. Statix defeated DaemonX in a comprehensive victory! [+6]
Statix was known for his unique visions in the final days of ICWW, but his expectation to confirm DaemonX as the New Invasion's "Black King" proved false at DOAX! When AlbertBeefcake opened The Case of The Italian Bishop; Statix quickly reached the conclusion that DaemonX was likely the mastermind. He failed to get answers at Supercard 94, but figured the notorious "Mystery CEO" was revisiting an unfinished conspiracy that brought about ICWW's demise. Instead, DaemonX revealed himself in possession of a Black Queen upon defeat! He may have held considerable powerful with The Invasion, but his movements across the board have been in service of another!

9. United: Mime (c) defeated Rockey316 in a comprehensive victory! [+4] [KFL Championship]
Throughout July Rockey316 was heavily promoted as India's only Hall of Famer and a decorated champion. The beloved ICWW legend made his return to Dead Or Alive hoping to add the KFL Championship to his list of accolades, which includes an ICWW Heavyweight Championship win at Kingdom Come (2003)! United: Mime was ill prepared for an opponent he didn't know a great deal about, but that didn't stop the dominant champion exerting his will over the match! Rockey316 is still the same fire cracker he always was, but in Mime he found an opponent of even greater miles! A +4 impact smothered the fire of Bangalore's best, but Rockey316 will always get up again!

8. Baraka_MK & MKMaster defeated Mark & Leroy in a comprehensive win. [+1]
Appearing at their first Dead Or Alive, Baraka_MK & MKMaster were men on a mission! Their goal: to seek retribution for the loss at Ultimate Grand Prix VII that split BMK from his former Duo partner and frequent DOA fighter: "Mad Dog" Onryo. Their last attempt at Supercard 94 went poorly, but with more experience under their belt, BMK & MKM were ready to beat Mark & Leroy at DOAX - or die trying! There was no risk of the latter - the extra experience paying dividends as they dominated the match for a comprehensive win! The pair embraced as they celebrated the victory!

7. Evil AlbertBeefcake defeated The_Hurricane in convincing fashion. [+2]
As "The New Super Friends" they won the ICWW Tag Team Championships in a celebrated match at Panic Attack (2004)! In 2015, they were together again at Pre-Show 72, sensing the imminent danger of The Invasion! It seems inconceivable that The_Hurricane could ever have a reason to want to fight AlbertBeefcake -- but after his shock disappearance, The Beefer returned at Royal Roulette a very different man! Evil replaced the glint in Albo's eye as he callously ignored The_Hurricane's pleas for a sign of the friend he once knew. Instead of a trademark "rar", Albert offered only pain as he steamrolled over his former partner! At Dead Or Alive IX they challenged for the Duo Division Championship. Now, it's very hard to imagine this legendary team will ever fight together again...

6. King Ken defeated "Wild Pegasus" Zentile in a solid victory! [+1]
"Wild Pegasus" Zentile is a man who has been fighting on the edge for too long! This unpredictable renegade has been pushed to incredible highs, but also dangerous lows. No fighter has been able to break him, but at Pre-Show 96: Heat Up Scramble, King Ken kept him out of the annual Royal Roulette match. Seeking an honest revenge, Zentile challenged the "King of the World" to fight at DOAX. What he got was an honest defeat. His high-risk offense failed him as King Ken proved too strong to beat. Despite the result, Zentile remains unbroken and ready to shock at any moment!

5. United: Murdoink defeated Loopster in a solid result. [+1]
When Loopster discovered vulnerability on Monday Night Games, he led The Invasion pawns in an incursion against The United stronghold, established in January. The United had been pulled apart by injury and in-fighting, and Murdoink allowed himself to be distracted with self-interested rivalry. Loopster's Invasion was defeated during the July 31st edition of VS United, but the former ICWW Eurasian Champion demanded a United opponent for DOAX! He drew a fair fight in Murdoink, but found himself surprisingly upset in a solid victory! Redemption at DOA for Murdoink!

4. "Brexiteers" Liam & nif defeated "The Invasion" WilliamRegal & TripleH [+1]
If they'd been around a decade earlier: Liam & nif might've been ICWW Tag Team Champions! They served as tangential agents of The Invasion last year, but broke away as part of The British Exit, conquering the Duo Division in 2017. WilliamRegal & TripleH were opponents at last year's Dead Or Alive, but their introduction created a new Duo for a new Invasion! This clash of old and new proved closer than expected. The Brexiteers secured the win, but The Invasion live to fight another day.

3. PaganFreak defeated Jauger in a strong win. [+1]
They didn't have a lot to do with each other in the days of ICWW, but when The Invasion threatened The Great Arena: PaganFreak and Jauger were quick to pledge their loyalty to The Alliance! They fought together up to Dead Or Alive IX, but it all changed shortly thereafter, at last year's All-Star Summer Showdown! Changes in The Invasion  coaxed Jauger to the darkside, leading him to brutally turn on PaganFreak! The Alliance may've ended, but the bad blood was still boiling as PaganFreak faced his Invasion foe at DOAX! The grudge fueled a vicious victory as PaganFreak fought hard to a strong win!

2. Killswitch & jack4813 defeated "The Invasion" MattHardy & Ghrimm in a solid win. [+2]
MattHardy once held the ICWW Tag Team Championships with The_Hurricane, but his newest partnership as part of The Invasion is yet to yield such noteworthy results. Killswitch & jack4813 only recently forged an alliance to fight rxvt & deadly, but have quickly ingratiated themselves as a winning team to watch. They had no trouble overcoming MattHardy & Ghrimm, picking up a strong win over the ICWW Invasion alum.

1. Shamrock eliminated Shaggy2Dope to win the Elimination Battle Royal!
DOA Battle Royal Eliminations:
1. Shen_DuHBK elim. Jesseman
2. Shaggy2Dope elim. The_Rock
3. Shamrock elim. __-Standards-__
4. SubMan799 elim. Jericho
5. Shen_DuHBK elim. STEROLIZER
6. Shamrock elim. Shen_DuHBK
7. Shaggy2Dope elim. SubMan799
8. Shaggy2Dope elim. Dez-Burnett
9. Shamrock elim. Shaggy2Dope
A wave of nostalgia washed over The Great Arena as a rogues gallery of ICWW superstars and honorary competitors flooded in for a good old fashioned Elimination Battle Royal!

When the bell tolled it was one of the new breed to kick-start the action: SubMan799 wasting no time attacking STEROLIZER and __-Standards-__! He may've been first to attack, but it was the "Red Cyclone" of Shen_DuHBK who blew the first fighter out - eliminating the decrepit Jesseman after just 48 seconds!

STEROLIZER jumped Shen_DuHBK while the ICWW Rising Star of Dez-Burnett took control of the match with a flurry of attacks! Not to be outdone: The_Rock got in on the action by clobbering STERO and Shen! Shaggy2Dope went in to make the save, eliminating The_Rock at the 1 minute 40 second mark!

Former ICWW Heavyweight Champion and Great Arena Hall of Famer Shamrock made his major presence felt with a devastating elimination of __-Standards-__! That was immediately followed by SubMan799 taking out Jericho! It was only another 22 seconds before STEROLIZER was sent packing by Shen_DuHBK, while Shamrock and SubMan799 traded hard-hitting blows!

Dez-Burnett went to work on Shen_DuHBK, soon joined by the heavyweight blows of the Singapore Shamrock! The devastating combination was enough to take The Invasion's Italian Bishop out in a minor upset! Dez-Burnett & Shamrock also did a number on SubMan799, but it was Shaggy2Dope who scooped the elimination while they took care of Shen_DuHBK!

Shaggy2Dope did his best to take the fight straight to Dez-Burnett, but with every man fighting for themselves, the Singapore Shamrock began to exercise his dominance! He took turns clobbering his final opponents, but as he hammered Dez-Burnett -- Shaggy2Dope recovered to steal another upset elimination at the 9 minutes 21 seconds stage! Unfortunately, that left him alone with the power of Shamrock, who showed no mercy! Singapore Shamrock victorious after just over 10 minutes!

Special: Dead Or Alive IX

History is written by the winners. This command of document is the privilege earned by those rare few who devise a means to outlive their enemies. Though the seeds of their foes' dissent may stretch far into the past, their existence is defined by the immortal whim of the victor. Should either side fail to pay fitting tribute to the past, they will be doomed to forevermore repeat it... But what if no story is told? No tale of triumph and glory written? What then?...

As the insidious "Mystery CEO" of ICWWDaemonX brought the organization to an end with no record of a closing chapter. The 10th anniversary of ICWW's founding brought the Immortals of a forgotten age into The Great Arena of 2012. At Dead Or Alive V, The Spirit of Vengeance Michael Lucifer returned to destroy his rival once and for all -- or so he thought!

Behind the scenes, forces were drawing plans for a new Invasion! The Ladder of Lucifer would be invoked to destroy another organization, and DaemonX would eventually rise to be leader of The Invasion! Because how can history be written if the war is still going? This is Dead Or Alive IX!

14. United: Hokey defeated Violent`J (c) in a dramatic main event reveal! [+1]
Talk of a hidden power held back by The Invasion has been rumored since an altercation between ShawnMichaels and DaemonX on May 23rd. The mysterious "secret weapon" was supposed to be revealed July 25th, but Hokey's resignation from The Invasion prevented the reveal. With The United and The Invasion at war heading in to Dead Or Alive IX - it was the perfect time to end the mystery. Little did anyone realize - he'd already fought once before that same night! Violent`J stunned as he returned to expose his Invasion allegiance! The Hall of Famer attacked The Invasion turncoat, but Hokey was well equipped to handle the assault! Fighting fresh, Hokey turned the tables on the Duo Division Champion! It was an exciting heavyweight dual that put the Royal Roulette winner in an even higher stratosphere of contention!

Though the victory puts him in tremendous stead - Hokey hit home the absurdity of Genku's paranoid concerns (voiced August 1), noting a history replete with failed title shots at All-Star Summer Showdown. Not only does he have no desire to rush into a Royal Roulette title match - he has a higher priority! He revealed he wants to face the man who fired him from The United earlier in the year without any good reason. He wants DArqueBishop at Supercard 82 - August 21st! A final bombshell dropped on a special event filled with surprises!

13. m0s defeated "The Fallen" LordSkarlet (c) & Jason_Voorhees in a shock decimation! [+4/+5/-9] [KFL Championship]
Everything seemed to be well in hand as reigning KFL Champion LordSkarlet met The Invasion's arranged title challenger of Jason_Voorhees. LS was clearly in control of the match, dominating the challenger when suddenly m0s inserted himself into the title situation! Making his first appearance since quitting the league the week after Ultimate Grand Prix VI; m0s exploded into the match at the peak of his powers! With Jason_Voorhees out of the way - he absolutely decimated The Fallen KFL Champion! m0s absconded with the KFL Championship - leaving a seething LordSkarlet behind.

The reason for m0s' sudden return is unclear, but certain conclusions can be easily drawn. With All-Star Summer Showdown less than a fortnight away, the chance to humiliate an old rival makes a lot of sense. m0s was in charge of the Kombat Fight League at the beginning of 2015, but he soon relinquished his position of power, entering into a war with LordSkarlet that forced him out of the sub-league all together! The win cannot erase past humiliations, but it certainly reverses their roles!

12. United: Shoe defeated DaemonX in a comprehensive win. [+2]
A pact of protection brought The Invasion into conflict with The United. Fearing Royal Roulette winner Hokey would take his title opportunity, The Great Genku agreed to join The Invasion so long as they prevented a change to the All-Star Summer Showdown main event! With DaemonX calling the shots at Dead Or Alive IX and promising a special opponent for Hokey, it only made sense the two faction leaders would go head-to-head. DaemonX had picked up a big win against Hall of Famer Mimik on the August 8 edition of Monday Night Invasion, but against Shoe he found a sturdier foe. Refreshed since his return, Shoe threw down with a heavyweight potency! He was comprehensive in his defeat of DaemonX - but the war is far from over! When their partners are through with the Summer Olympic Games - they will meet again, because it will be DaemonX & Banging versus Shoe & Artanix at Supercard 82: All-Star Summer Showdown!

11. DArqueBishop defeated United: Mimik in a total destruction! [+16]
At Pre-Show 81, DArqueBishop brought back Hall of Famer Mimik to be a powerhouse player in his new arrangement of The United. It was part of a pursuit for payback after Shoe was shockingly put on the incapacitated list by The Service Krew! Shoe soon returned at Royal Roulette -- reforming The United without their 2016 manager! DOAIX would be a platform for retribution as DAB took the opportunity to pay Mimik's loyalty back in kind! It was a gift from DaemonX, whose Invasion made enemies of The United when they recruited a paranoid Genku into the ranks! Mimik will go to All-Star Summer Showdown to execute his own grudge against Loopster, but he'll do so with the fresh scars of a +16 demolition at the hands of DArqueBishop! All part of The Invasion's master plan!

10. "Secret Weapon" SubScorpTile defeated avenger45 (c) in a solid victory! [+2] [Division 2 Championship]
At Pre-Show 82: Heat Up Scramble, Benjamin secured a title opportunity for All-Star Summer Showdown with an impressive +3 win. At that same event, his rival SubScorpTile earned exactly the same caliber of win. Thus; "The Secret Weapon" is given a chance to step in to the title match as champion - challenging still fresh Div. 2 kingpin avenger45! avenger45 may have outlasted the top seeded SST at Tournament 69, but now confronted by the two-time champion he found himself out of his depth! The Secret Weapon unleashed his best, earning a surprising, solid victory to steal back the gold and set-up a brand new title obstacle for Benjamin on August 21st!

9. "Mad Dog" Onryo defeated edge in convincing fashion. [+2]
"Mad Dog" Onryo hasn't had the best of luck in his two previous appearances in the Dead Or Alive lineage, but his fortunes were ready to change at DOAIX! These two last met in duo competition back on July 18th. With Jason_Voorhees gifted a KFL title opportunity later in the night, and Baraka_MK away at the Olympics -- two team fighters made their beef a solo affair! The Mad Dog was more than happy to take a chunk out of The Invasion, ripping into edge for a convincing +2 impact!

8. Jericho defeated UlcaTron in a hard fought match. [+1]
With his "Fallen" partner Corrupt hydraslash busy fighting for his country at the Summer Olympics [Day 4]; UlcaTron was alone to return to The Fallen's fight with The Invasion after weeks of fighting The Alliance! Jericho was chosen by DaemonX to take up the DOA challenge -- a selection that proved very fruitful! UlcaTron buckled during the hard fought solo match. A disappointing loss.

7. Officials announce Poasty will return at All-Star Summer Showdown!
G0LD may be on a four match winning streak, but come All-Star Summer Showdown he will face the biggest challenge of his career! As if to answer the title "Dead Or Alive" like a question: Officials announced that Poasty will make a miraculous return at the Summer Supercard! His career was thrown into turmoil when he suffered a devastating injury in June - just two days after winning the Division 2 Championship at Pre-Show 80! It's sure to be an exciting match between two of the new fighters lighting up the Division 2 ranks!

6. G0LD defeated Jesseman in a comprehensive victory! [+2]
Since his unprecedented title match debut at Royal Roulette, G0LD has set about living up to the hype of his debut with a string of wins. Unselected for the Summer Olympics, he was invited to play a part as a curiosity at Dead Or Alive IX! Invasion fighter Jesseman has been quiet in recent months, but was granted the opportunity to make an impact by DaemonX. Alas, G0LD was simply too strong for the one-time figure of Pestilence. An unworthy challenger to G0LD's streak!

5. MattHardy defeated __-Standards-__ in a hard fought battle! [+1]
Though he wasn't a part of the original ICWW line-up, the wrestling acumen of __-Standards-__ made him a natural addition to the DOA lineage! As a respected satellite member of Damo's Service Krew, he's been a lingering presence since appearing at DOAVIII! He was a well matched opponent for MattHardy, but found himself up against a tougher customer than expected! MattHardy had to dig deep to go toe-to-toe with the legendary __-Standards-__. A big win for The Invasion fighter!

4. "The Invasion" Rhyno & Grayback defeated "The Alliance" Jauger & PaganFreak [+1]
Since the beginning of 2016, The Alliance has been fighting to curb The Invasion of The Great Arena. The launch of Monday Night Invasion in February has made that struggle a weekly affair in the tradition of Civil Action. With such deep ties to ICWW - it was inevitable the war would play out at Dead Or Alive! Former ICWW Tag Team Champions Rhyno & Grayback proved a little better in an even fought match. Jauger & PaganFreak have been dedicated allies to The Alliance, but on this night they were out classed by their enemy.

3. Sekktor & legoslayer10 defeated Piccolo & GohanSon in a comprehensive win! [+1]
Ever since their friend LordSkarlet fell from grace and turned on them, Sekktor & legoslayer10 have been struggling to make sense of their place in the league. Adrift since their stinging loss at Pre-Show 82, the pair could only put aside the distraction of sharing the card with LordSkarlet, and fight to earn a much needed win. Piccolo & GohanSon have been tough customers of late, but the red team were able to put together a confident win.

2. TripleH defeated WilliamRegal in a solid victory. [+3]
It was a fairly elementary match as former IWA Heavyweight Champion TripleH defended himself against the challenge of one-time ICWW Eurasian Champ WilliamRegal. It was clear TripleH was the stronger of the two as he controlled the match. A fitting +3 impact brought the match to a decisive close, but the pair were able to share a sign of respect after the match.

1. "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J (c) defeated "The Alliance" AlbertBeefcake & The_Hurricane in a comprehensive victory! [+1] [Duo Division Championship]
As Day 5 of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games unfolded: "Team Xtreme" Marz & Violent`J weren't defending their 2012 Duo Gold Medal, but rather, their undefeated Duo Division Championship streak and legacy at Dead Or Alive! Remarkably, the legendary pairing only ever competed for the Tag Team Championship once - at Dead Or Alive 4! Recalling those years of experience, they made light work of AlbertBeefcake & The_Hurricane in an exciting opening match! The Alliance were strong, but outclassed by the Hall of Fame champs who now have a record 13 successful title defense to their 290 day title reign!

ICWW: Dead Or Alive 4

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were at ringside as the crowd went absolutely primal, for Dead Or Alive 4! Buddy Luv and Stat-Man agreed that at the main event of the summer, some legends were going to be forged in some of the great match ups. Stat-Man then informed Buddy Luv that they'd be opening proceedings with a surprise match, giving three recent graduates from the NMW camp!
 
Triple threat match
Shane McMahon versus Lance White versus X-Pac

Three new faces were granted the tremendous opportunity to face off in their inaugural ICWW outing
in a DOA opener. The awe was short felt, as it came down to business, Shane McMahon looking to go straight to work on Lance White. The two exchanged blows, giving X-Pac time to feel out his opponents, before going on the offensive against McMahon. The two superstars went to work, X-Pac making ground with a spinning heel kick, but found himself locked up from behind by Lance White. After a short lived double team attack, X-Pac found himself recovering on the outside while White and McMahon continued what they started, White nailing his opponent with a super kick and a stunner, before scoring the cover.
Winner: Lance White via pin fall [6:33]
 
Backstage Michael Lucifer was carrying his International championship as he headed to his personal locker room, when Albert Beefcake approached him. Albert told Lucifer that he respected him a great deal, and as the Masked Marvel he was trying to uncover who could be responsible for the attacks made against him. Lucifer was about to tell Albert to stay out of his affairs, but never finished the sentence, silenced by the state of his locker room. Inside, Lucifer's locker room was splashed with the crimson tones of what appeared to be blood, and leaning on the wall, a wooden crucifix.
 
Devon Storm versus Patrick Mannion
Buddy Luv and Stat-Man sat stunned from the scenes before, as Devon Storm raced his way to the ring, crowbar in hand. The crowd were pretty excited as Patrick Mannion stalked his way to the ring, looking to be in tremendous shape. Storm looked to jump Mannion, attacking with his crowbar, but the former Eurasian champion managed to avoid the attack as the bell sounded. Mannion out powered Storm with a series of spinebuster slams, finishing with a big elbow drop to the sternum. Storm attempted to use his quickness to effect, going off the ropes for a spring board moonsault, but Mannion's raw power allowed him to catch his opponent, and put an end to things with the smackdown slam and a cover.
Winner: Patrick Mannion via pin fall [5:42]
 
Shane Altmann was with Rockey Rakesh backstage, talking to him about his special match with Chris Benoit. Rakesh told Altmann that he's been away, investing in various business opportunities, but when he heard that it was ICWW's anniversary, and that it was Dead Or Alive 4, he hopped on the first plane he could find and made a bee line for the ICWW arena. The Little firecracker said that he had a lot of respect for Chris Benoit, and was honored to be facing him at the greatest event of the year, but when it came to business decisions he had to do, what he had to do.
 
Hardcore match
Shaggy 2 Dope versus Chris Jericho

Chris Jericho made his way to the ring, and took to the microphone. He said that a week ago he showed the Suck Squad that he was the king of the world, and tonight he was going to show Shaggy 2 Dope, and the whole world that he was the undisputed Y2J problem! It was at that moment the Y2Juggalo countdown started up as Shaggy 2 Dope raced to the ring and dived under the ropes, going straight to work on Jericho with hard right hands. Jericho turned the tables, and sent the Y2Juggalo into the corner, going to work with stinging chops to the chest. Jericho broke it up, and went to work on the midsection with stomping kicks, before tossing Shaggy to the middle of the ring with a hair drag. Jericho taunted a little, leaving himself wide open for a diving forearm. 2 Dope mounted his fallen opponent and unloaded with thundering punches, but Jericho managed to roll over and counter the move. Jericho hopped to his feet, while Shaggy 2 Dope staggered up, into a hurracanarana, but managed to counter it into a sit down powerbomb, scoring a shocking three count!
Jericho attacked the winner without remorse, clamping down with the walls of Jericho, while the referee did his best to remove him from the ring. Shaggy 2 Dope was assisted to the back.
Winner: Shaggy 2 Dope via pin fall [5:12]
 
Fatal four way match
Loopster versus The Rock versus Kurt Angle versus Chaos Drone

The members of the Suck Squad trickled into the arena to a moderate hum from the crowd. Kurt Angle and the Rock paired off, while Loopster went to work on Chaos Drone, taking it to him with a combination of punches and kicks. Loopster looked to be hold nothing back, having suffered a string of defeats against Chaos Drone. The Drone shot Loopster off the ropes, right into the path of the other two superstars, allowing him to double clothesline the Rock and Angle. Loopster took Chaos down with a run around DDT and stomped down on the fallen three. Loopster looked to do some serious damage, going up top for a moonsault, coming down across both Chaos Drone and Kurt Angle. He hooked the leg of the Drone, but Rock managed to break the hold right at the last second. Loopster didn't take kindly to it, taking Rock down with a swinging neck breaker, before nailing a stunned Angle with a super kick to the jaw. Loopster hit Chaos Drone with the suck factor, to find himself with the three count.
Winner: Loopster via pin fall [7:32]
 
In the locker rooms Banging made his way into the Pacific Connection's room where Steven Oozaru was drying himself off with a towel. Banging asked Oozaru if he'd just had a shower, prompting an aggressive reaction from the Australian giant, who wanted to know what business it was of Banging's if he had. Banging told his partner to cool off, because he thought it was important for both men to be on the same page at the biggest event of the year. Oozaru apologized, and told him that Team Extreme have been called one of the best combinations in the history of tag team wrestling, and that wasn't a justified opinion, as they would prove.
 
Rockey Rakesh versus Chris Benoit
Rockey Rakesh made his way to the ring to a standing ovation, the crowd pleased to see their fire cracker back in an ICWW ring! The Crippler Chris Benoit made his way straight to the ring, looking very focused for this battle of wits. The two dance around the ring, Benoit initiating a tie up, going around the back for a waist lock, looking for a German suplex, but Rakesh landed on his feet, and took Benoit down with a sudden clothesline. Benoit made it to his feet, and nodded in acknowledgment, before striking at Rakesh with a savage knife edged chop! Rakesh returned the favour with a slap to the face, and Benoit didn't take too kindly, unloading a series of chops, and taking Rakesh to town with an overhead belly to belly suplex! Rakesh rolled to the outside to gather himself, but Benoit followed, looking to further the damage. Rakesh managed to fend off a whip to the turnbuckle, and reverse it, sending Benoit face first into the outer side of the post. The fire cracker jumped into the ring and got the crowd going, getting into position to hit the 619 as Benoit tried to re-enter the ring! Rakesh used the time to buy some recovery, but Benoit was unrelenting in his attack, taking Rakesh over with snap suplexes, before clamping down with the crippler crossface! It was too much for the rusty fire cracker, unable to reach the ropes, he had to tap.
Winner: Chris Benoit via submission [5:03]
 
Matt Hardy versus Marc Scott
Mattitude version 1.0 walked out into a wall of boos as he headed out for his match against the man revealed to have been the hacker that attacked ICWW's computer systems! Marc Scott took a microphone once in the ring, and congratulated his friend Chris Benoit on a terrific win moments ago. He then said that he admitted, he was the hacker, and did try to manipulate his way into a title match. He said that he was very lucky to be able to attend another DOA, and was honored, as should all the fans be to see him at a DOA. Hardy snatched the microphone, and said that the only thing people should be honoured to see, is an a-grade piece of Mattitude. Scott snatched the microphone back, and then used it as a weapon, slamming it down into the skull of Matt Hardy, as the bell sounded for the match to start! Scott tossed the microphone away, and pounded down on his opponent with hard right hands, before unleashing savage chops. Hardy staggered off the ropes, ducking the clothesline, but finding himself on the receiving end of a knee to the face. Scott took it to the mat, clamping down with a Boston crab, but Hardy was able to reach the ropes with easy, forcing him to break the hold. Hardy pulled out the big guns, surprising Scott with a twist of fate, but only managed a two fall out of it. While Hardy argued that it should've been a three, Scott snuck up behind, nailing the grudge! Hardy's legs sprung him back onto his feet, and right into a school boy, giving Scott the victory.
Winner: Marc Scott via pin fall [3:48]
 
A montage of DOA highlights was shown next, including a series of shots from the famous Hardcore War that took part at DOAII, seeing the debut of Violent J, who escaped with the hardcore title belt in a VIP cart, which would eventually become his choice of transport. Shane Altmann was backstage with Violent J, and asked him how he was feeling about being back at a DOA, after retiring. J said that he was honored to be back at the event that gave him his name, especially after thinking he was out of the game for good. Altmann asked about his thoughts on the tag title match later in the night, to which Violent J said that he would be lying if he wasn't a little nervous. He said that with Marz acting very reclusive, he wasn't exactly sure if they were going to be able to operate as a unit, but he was going to go out there, and give it his all for the fans, and for his buddy - Marz!
 
Meanwhile, Albert Beefcake was trying to talk to Michael Lucifer while he was heading to the offices when Abel Lucifer stepped out in front of them. Abel and Michael looked each other up and down, before Abel asked his brother if he'd had an accident. The International champion asked his brother what he thought he was playing at, and Abel laughed, telling his brother that the idea of him being the brains of the Lucifers was an overrated concept. He told his brother that sometimes he's so busy thinking, he over looks things, and it was that kind of thing that would cost him his crown. The champ shoved his brother aside, and continued on his way, while Abel laughed to himself.
 
Hardcore Championship Battle Royal match
The Hurricane (c) versus The Godfather versus Diamond Dallas Page

The hardcore Hurricane swept into the arena carrying his championship belt to a standing ovation, about to participate in the hardcore battle royal, which was not unlike a hardcore war. Going into the match, a ten minute time limit would dictate it's end, and the person to have made the last pin would win. Although the title would only officially change hands at the end of the match, the person to pin would be the champ at that point. The Godfather sent his hoes away, as the three men lined up in the ring, Diamond Dallas Page used a trash can to kick proceedings off, nailing the hardcore champion. The champ, in special DOA attire, recovered and slammed both his opponents down with a double clothesline, before striking a pose! The Godfather jumped Hurricane from behind, slamming him to the mat with a hard bulldog takedown, and looking for a cover, but only finding a one count. DDP and the Godfather double teamed the Hurricane, sending him over the top rope with a double back body drop! The match moved to the outside as DDP and the Godfather stomped down on the motionless Hurricane, before DDP whipped the Godafther into the guard rails on the outside. DDP rummaged around under the ring, and headed up the aisle with a table, only to have it drop kicked right back into his face by the Hurricane! The Godfather snuck up behind and clobbered Hurricane with a steel chair, and scored a three count! The pimp daddy tried to stagger out of harms way to the back, but the Hurricane and DDP were able to follow. DDP set up the table he carried, while Hurricane and Godfather exchanged weary punches. The Godfather was out on his feet as it was, before turning around into a diamond cutter through the table! DDP then applied the sharpshooter for good measures, forcing Godfather to tap to his hold! With time ticking down, the Hurricane went in pursuit of DDP in the back, when suddenly Violent J appeared out of nowhere and attacked both superstars, shouting something about his VIP cart! The final minute ticked down, and as Violent J retreated, DDP was declared the new hardcore champion!
Winner: Diamond Dallas Page via submission [10:00]
 
Heavyweight Championship match
Albert Beefcake (c) versus The Nomad

Buddy Luv and Stat-Man were still reeling from the hardcore title match, as the Nomad made his way to the ring to take on the man who took his title, Albert Beefcake. The Big Beefer strutted his way to the ring with championship in hand, stopping for a little Beefer bust, but he seemed too preoccupied to give it his all. In the ring the two men measured each other up, before the Nomad went on the attack with an uppercut, and a huge crescent kick, which sent the crowd into a frenzy! Nomad taunted, while Albert used the ropes to drag himself to his feet. Nomad looked to go on the attack again, but found himself on the receiving end of a cocobutt, and an Irish whip. Nomad managed to counter the whip, swinging around into a vice-like sleeper hold! With the hold firmly clamped, the heavyweight champion began to drift away, as the flow of oxygen to the brain was reduced, Nomad would have the last rar, leaving Albert a limp ten count.
Winner: The Nomad via submission [1:31]
 
Shane Altmann caught the Nomad, and asked him how he was feeling after an incredibly speedy victory. The now three-time heavyweight champion declared that he was the master of ICWW, and
the heavyweight title wasn't enough. He told Altmann to go and get a haircut, and real job and stop wasting the heavyweight champion's time. Nomad then demanded a bottle of water, before heading to the backstage area, with a new accolade under his already hefty resumè.
 
First Blood match
Jason Shamrock versus Tito Ortiz

Jason Shamrock stalked his way to the ring looking to put an end to the bitter rivalry between himself and Tito Ortiz. Ortiz, who had celebrated much success in his latest outings looked cool and collected, despite the match being the first ever first blood match in ICWW history! The formalities of the match were out the window, as Ortiz entered the ring and came face to face with the granite-like stare of Shamrock. The two tapped fists, before Ortiz threw the first blow, sending Shamrock face first into the corner. Ortiz turned Shamrock around, and unloaded with a series of kicks and punches, softening Shamrock up to great effect. Shamrock came out with a second wind, grabbing Ortiz by the throat, and turning the tables! With Ortiz cornered, Shamrock unloaded with a thunderous boxing style combination of punches! Shamrock backed off into the middle of the ring, and let out a roar as he ripped his gloves off and went on the charge again, getting a boot to the face for his troubles from Ortiz. Ortiz clamped down with an arm bar, but Shamrock managed to counter it quickly, into the ankle lock! With Ortiz scrambling for the ropes, Shamrock jumped up, and took the mount position, pounding down on Ortiz' eye brow with bare knuckle punches! Ortiz managed to roll Shamrock over, and went to work with his own punches, before picking Shamrock up and using the elbows to great effect! Shamrock shrugged it off, and slammed his knee into Ortiz' face, and then leveled him with a hard right hand, ripping open a huge gash above the eye, and declaring him the winner under the first blood rules. A bruised Ortiz lay motionless in the ring, as Shamrock spat at his opponent, before heading to the back.
Winner: Jason Shamrock via first blood [8:19]
 
Tag Team championship match
Steven Oozaru & Banging (c) versus Violent J & Marz

The challengers, Team Extreme, made their way to the ring for what most fans were calling the first headliner of the match. The time tested combination of Marz and Violent J were ready to do battle, as the crowd went wild for the Pacific Connection as they made their way to the ring! Team Extreme met the champs at the entrance way, battling back and forth, with the champs getting the upper hand. Banging and Oozaru both tossed their opponents into the ring, and slammed them with a big leg drop. Banging took to the apron while Steven Oozaru, the Australian monster, continued to stomp down on both members of Team Extreme. Violent J was the legal man, seeing him to the receiving end of a devastating scoop slam! Oozaru sauntered his way around the ring, cockily picking Violent J up, and locking up in a front face lock, resulting in a vertical suplex. Oozaru laughed, before picking J up again, and holding him an abdominal stretch before making the tag, as Banging came in with a stiff kick to the midsection. Marz was keen to get into the action, as Banging took Violent J down with a clothesline. Banging tied up with a waist lock, but J managed to counter it, and take Banging down with a German suplex! Violent J caught Banging on the way up with a scissors kick, and made the tag to Marz, who went off the top rope with a missile dropkick, connecting with Banging! Oozaru thundered into the ring, and missed with the big boot, giving Marz an opportunity to go off the ropes with the springboard kick! Meanwhile, Violent J locked in the walls of Juggalo on Banging! Order was regained, with Marz dropping Banging on his tested back with the spiral bomb, but only scored a two count on a cover attempt, with Oozaru breaking the attempt. Marz tagged into VJ, who took Banging down with a spinebuster, and against clamped down with the walls of Juggalo! Oozaru again made the save, leaving both Banging and Violent J down. They each made it to their feet, and tagged in their respective partners, Oozaru taking Marz down with a press slam! Violent J snuck up from behind, and caught Oozaru with a strike to the back of the knee, and the psycho flip! Marz recovered, and connected with another springboard kick, hooking the leg with the lateral press, scoring a successful cover to once again become tag champ!
Winner: Marz via pin fall [11:33]
 
A hushed silence fell over the arena, with the much anticipated match between two obscure allies coming up, for the prized International championship belt. First footage of the headlining matches past was shown, showcasing the infamous match from DOAII where Lucifer stole the championship belt from Xio and the Nomad. Stat-Man was a little misty eyed after the footage, but promised to press onward for the good of the fans. Buddy Luv then reminded fans that not only was this Statix' first International championship match, it was also his first time experiencing a Dead Or Alive.
 
International Championship match
Michael Lucifer (c) versus Statix

Green sparking pyros shot up at the entrance way as the sensation made his way down the entrance way to a standing ovation. The fan favourite looked to be in terrific shape, as that wall of fire shot up at the entrance, marking the entrance of the spirit of vengeance, the world champion - Michael Lucifer. Lucifer took slow, long strides as he made his way to the ring, nodding his head as he stepped over the top rope to enter the ring. Statix adjusted his wrist tape, as Michael Lucifer handed over his belt, and removed his sash. Statix offered a hand shake to the phenom, but instead Lucifer smirked and assumed a very confident shotokan styled position. Buddy Luv alluded to Lucifer's martial arts background, but admitted it was surprising to see Lucifer adopting such a disciplined stance. Statix stepped backward to his corner of the ring, and took a more neutral pose, before going on the attack with a series of intricate punches, all of which Lucifer managed to block, sending out a heart punch which fell just short of Statix' chest. Statix stepped back, as Lucifer shot out a high roundhouse kick, allowing Statix to duck it easily and strike at Lucifer with a fast uppercut, spinning heel kick combination attack. Lucifer staggered back and dropped to one knee, wiping blood away from his lip and smiling. Lucifer went on the attack, forcing Statix into the corner with wild throat thrusts, before tossing him across the ring by the throat. Statix slipped to the outside to gather his composure, while Lucifer crossed his arms with a black frown across his face. Statix jumped onto the apron, and then onto the top rope, using it to propel him into Lucifer with a cross body block. With Lucifer down, the challenger looked to capitalize, going off the ropes and connecting with the rolling thunder! Statix then went to the top rope, but was too slow getting there, giving Lucifer time to make it to his feet, and gather himself enough to catch Statix in mid-air, and shift him into position for the devil driver! Statix managed to swing his legs, seemingly defying physics by slipping under Lucifer's arm, and taking him down with a neck breaker! The two men stayed down for a three count, but were soon up, and ready to face off again. Statix staggered Lucifer with a swinging back heel, but experience allowed Lucifer to shift into the next gear, instinctively reaching out for Statix' throat. With the chokeslam seeming inevitable, Marz surprised everyone and raced down to the ring with the tag team title in hand, and slammed Lucifer right in the side of the head! With Statix fallen back, Marz continued to assault Lucifer, when Steven Oozaru ran down! The chaos erupted into a four man melee, eventually seeing Lucifer connect with a big boot to Oozaru, while Statix took Marz down with a Static Slam. The distraction posted Lucifer the opportunity to surprise Statix from behind with a dragon sleeper, which he quickly turned into a devil driver, and a pin, just barely scoring the three count.
Winner: Michael Lucifer via pin fall [9:21]
 
Officials forced Steven Oozaru and Marz up the entrance aisle, keeping them separated, while
Statix remained in the ring, and acknowledged Lucifer's win. Lucifer took the championship belt, and
nodded, holding the title above his head, and pointing out to Marz and Oozaru as DOA4 came to
a startling, action filled conclusion, with Buddy Luv and Stat-Man plugging Civil Action.

ICWW: Dead Or Alive III


The crowd was on their feet for arguably the biggest main event on the ICWW calendar to date, Buddy Luv welcomed the fans to the ICWW arena for the very special main event. Luv warned the crowd that the triad headliner was going to be a huge match with Shawn Michaels really stacked against the odds against Oozaru and Jason Shamrock. 
 
Banging d. Albert Beefcake
The Super Friend Albert Beefcake made his way to the ring accompanied by Stat-Man to face off against the apparently evil, Banging. Albert went straight to work with a nice coco butt, and then slammed Banging down with a nice clothesline. Banging made his wake back into the match with a nice flapjack, and then sent the Beefer into the ropes for a nice Samoan drop! Stat-Man grabbed Banging's legs when he went near the ropes which prompted the referee to issue a warning to him, but while the referee was distracted Albert hit Banging with the mofo low blow and went for a roll up, but only got a two count fall! Banging whipped Albert into the ropes once again and hit the Auckland Drop and got a cover! Stat-Man helped Albert to the back.
 
Four Corners Strap match
The Nomad d. The Rock

The Nomad and the Rock stared each other down after making their way to the ring for their match. Strapped together the two started by standing their ground in a tug of war, but Rock soon ended it with a diving forearm. Nomad made his way to his feet and once more the two locked in a battle of grips and strength, this time Nomad managed to whip the Rock unsteady and then bounced into the ropes and dropped him with a bulldog. The Nomad looked rabid as he began to lay the boot into the Rock, and then made a point of showing that he had just tagged his first turnbuckle. While taunting to the crowd, the Rock snuck up behind him and locked in a back waist lock and tried to send the Nomad over with a German suplex, but a quick mule kick from the Nomad put an end to that. Nomad tagged his second, and third turnbuckles with the Rock struggling to stay upright. The Nomad turned and booted the Rock and then used the strap to choke the people's champion! The Rock managed to elbow his way out in a desperation move, but was gasping for air. Rock tried to tag a turnbuckle, but Nomad yanked him back with the strap and hit the Bible Black. It was all over, the Nomad tagged his last turnbuckle. Then Nomad ripped the strap off of his wrist and began beating down on the Rock, hard boots and then went to the outside and retrieved his scythe staff! He proceeded to beat the Rock savagely before heading to the back grimly.
 
Rhyno made his way to the ring in an unprompted segment and said that he was there to put an end to the farce that was ICWW: Dead Or Alive III. He said it was a disgrace to the old school name of DOA, and he refused to let it go any further. Rhyno said that the new blood was thicker than anything else, and was going to take back the ICWW for the old guys. Suddenly Ghrimm appeared at the entrance way and said the old blood was certainly thick, and then challenged Rhyno to fight him with his hardcore championship online. Rhyno gladly accepted the unorthodox challenge, and jumped out of the ring to meet Ghrimm.
 
Hardcore Championship match
Ghrimm (c) d. Rhyno

Ghrimm raced to the ring and nailed Rhyno with the microphone he had, producing some blood above his eye. Rhyno got savage on Ghrimm and slammed him onto the outside with a hard spinebuster! Ghrimm rolled under the ring and Rhyno slid into the ring and began stamping down trying to psyche out the hardcore champion. Ghrimm slipped out the backside with a chair and attacked Rhyno from behind hard with the steel chair! Rhyno was dazed, but managed to hit a nice neck breaker still. Ghrimm knocked the Rhyno back again with the chair, but it wasn't enough as Rhyno went on the charge! Ghrimm managed to dodge out of the way and Rhyno gored the steel chair right into the turnbuckle! Stunned Ghrimm rolled him up with a school boy and got the pin. Banging ran down to the ring suddenly and attacked the hardcore champion with a sledge hammer! Ghrimm ran to the back nursing his shoulder, which was nailed by Banging! Rhyno and Banging taunted the crowd before staggering back.
 
Backstage Shane Altmann was with Violent J who look confident. Altmann was about to ask J something when he stuck his hand in his face beckoning him to stop. J then shouted finally J had come back to Dead Or Alive. Then the J said this, it didn't matter what Altmann thought because the J was going to go out and prove that he was without a doubt the best damn juggalo in the entire world. He then asked Altmann if he smelled what the J was cooking, before leaving him baffled.
 
National Championship match
Marz (c) d. Violent J

Marz made his way to the ring and stood smugly showing off his National championship to the crowd. Violent J's music kicked in but Violent J did not appear. After a moments silence his music started up again and J drove to the ring in a VIP cart! He jumped out through the front window area and went straight to Marz with a Lou Thesz press. The bell rang and the match was underway, when Marz turned the tables and rolled over and started hammering down on J. They broke up and Marz went into the ropes attacking with a flying knee, and then dropped him with a flapjack. J jumped back to his feet and went on the charge once more with a nice clothesline, and then picked Marz up and whipped him to the ropes. J draped the National champs legs over the turnbuckle and left him hanging like an ornament, before laying down tough toe kicks! Marz dropped on his head as J took a break to show some love to the crowd. Marz cut his former partner's celebrations short with a reverse DDT, and the two both lay on the mat down for the count. They both fought their way to their feet and met with a front face lock, both fighting for a move but eventually Marz planted a kick to the mid section and nailed J with a snap suplex. Marz followed up with a nice sit-down powerbomb, and then signaled for the Spiral!  He picked J up, but Violent J hit the psycho flip! The crowd went wild as both superstars lay flat on their back fighting to stand. Marz managed to get to his feet first and this time hit the spiral bomb and got the cover only just!
 
Jesseman d. Michael Lucifer
Michael Lucifer made his way to the ring first, the crowd exploding as the infamous wall of fire simmered down to reveal the owner of the ICWW. Lucifer looked unimpressed however when Jesseman got an equally explosive ovation upon entry to the arena. Jesseman raced to the ring and the match got underway, Lucifer going straight to work with a nice head butt. Jesseman went for a sweeping trip, but the big man jumped over it and planted a nice big boot to the face. He picked the super hero up and dropped him down with a thunderous gut wrench powerbomb. Jesseman recovered and went on the charge with a flying kamikaze clothesline, and then a nice side slam. Lucifer recovered and whipped the Jesseman into the turnbuckle and went to work with a hard boxing combo and then scooped him up for a tombstone piledriver, but Jesseman managed to power his way out and send Lucifer into the turnbuckle. From there he nailed a nice top rope bulldog, and then dropped Lucifer with the Jesseman Justice Judgment slam! Jesseman hooked the leg but only got a two count! Lucifer got to his feet and wrapped his hand around Jesseman's neck, but Jesseman kicked him straight between the legs but the referee didn't see it! Jesseman rolled Lucifer up and got the three count! Suddenly Albert and Stat-Man raced to the ring and all three began to put the boot down. Stat-Man even hit the stattinator, before the Super Friends dragged Lucifer to the back with them!
 
Barbed Wire Eurasian Championship match
Loopster (c) d. Rockey

Loopster and Rockey made their way to the ring before the last side of ropes were replaced with barbed wire, sending a chill throughout the arena. Rockey went on the charge first looking for a nice stiff right hand, but Loopster caught it and got a boot to the midsection. Loopster whipped Rockey to the ropes, but Rockey used the sick one's arm to save himself and dropped him with a DDT. Loopster dropped Rockey with a neck breaker, and then followed with a nice knee drop. Loopster picked Rockey up and dragged him to the ropes where he dragged Rockey's face against the barbed wire! Rockey fought his way back, already bleeding from the forehead. Rockey went on the charge with hard rights and lefts, and then whipped Loopster hard into the barbed wire! Loopster dropped after the attack, and Rockey repeated creating some deep cuts on the back of the Eurasian champion. Loopster didn't looked happy and managed to slam the little fire cracker with a hard something factor, and then picked him up and whipped him into the barbed wire! Rockey staggered right into a Loop Pile Driver and Loopster covered to retain his belt. Rockey was helped to the back by medical personnel.
 
Backstage Shawn Michaels was at the entrance way with Shane Atlmann. He said he wasn't nervous in the slightest about defending his championship against both Jason Shamrock and Oozaru, because he was the show stopper. He said no one was crazy enough to smile at a gig like this, except for maybe the heart break kid, and then smiled. Suddenly Rhyno and Banging raced in and pounded down on the heavyweight champion, and then Rhyno took over the interview while Banging horded Michaels away. He said that all the newbies in the heavyweight match better savor their moment, because the old blood was taking over ICWW. Suddenly Oozaru raced in with a sledge hammer and chased Rhyno and Banging off!
 
No Holds Barred Triad Heavyweight Championship match
Jason Shamrock d. Oozaru and Shawn Michaels (c)

Jason Shamrock appeared at the entrance way to the pleasure of the fans, making his way to the ring looking rather intense. Oozaru also looked to be meaning business as he stormed his way to the ring, eyes focused dead ahead. Then Shawn Michaels made his elaborate entrance, still smiling despite the attack just moments ago. He entered the ring and each of the superstars paced in their corners, as the bell sounded and the match got underway. Oozaru went on the offensive against the champ straight away, nailing him with a hard DDT, and then a killer elbow drop. Jason Shamrock stepped in and the two double teamed the champ with a wishbone! Oozaru picked Michaels up and dropped him with a flatliner, and then Shamrock hit him with the wipeout!! The double team attack on the champ was clearly too much, Oozaru scored the pin fall and then Shamrock and Oozaru stood either side of the ring staring intensely.
 
Suddenly Rhyno and Banging headed to the ring with chairs and slid in, Oozaru slammed Banging with a flatliner and threw him over the top rope. While Jason Shamrock drop kicked the chair back into Rhyno's face. Oozaru and Shamrock lay the beat down before the Super Friends raced down to the ring and attacked Oozaru and Shamrock! The Nomad and Loopster raced to the ring to help Oozaru and Shamrock. All the superstars were battling it out before Violent J headed to the ring in his VIP cart with Marz on the roof. The group scattered and finally Oozaru and Shamrock were back in the ring, Shamrock used a chair to nail Oozaru and then dropped him with the wipeout for the pin. The mass of ICWW superstars continued to battle as ICWW: Dead Or Alive III came to an incredible end!

ICWW: Dead Or Alive II

October 5th - ICWW: Dead or Alive II
'I'm gonna keep this secret
I'm gonna close my body now
I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna avoid the cliché
I'm gonna suspend my sense
It's not my time to go.
Yes, I'll die another day'

Tag Team Championship match
Shawn Michaels & The Rock d. Acidic Wonder & Ironize (c) via DQ

Ironize started the action against heated rival Shawn Michaels with a nice neck breaker. Acidic Wonder tagged in early dropping Michaels with a single arm DDT. Shawn was on the ropes when the Wonder began taunting to the crowd! The Rock nailed Ironize with a flapjack after the two tagged in and while Acidic Wonder had the referee distracted Ironize retrieved a chair from outside and swung wildly at The Rock, The Rock drop kicked it straight back at Ironize! Ironize recovered and managed a shaky piledriver, but put himself down for the count. The Rock set up for the people's elbow, but just before he nailed it Ironize flung his leg up connecting with the Rock's jaw. The wonder ran in and nailed The Rock with a chair getting Catch 22 disqualified. Shawn Michaels left straight away having a tantrum about the  out come of the match while a dazed Catch 22 celebrated keeping the Tag Team championships. Ironize left his partner with the tag title as he chased off to be a part of the Hardcore war.
 
Hardcore Championship War
Shawn Michaels (c) VS Ironize VS Patrick Mannion

Shane Altmann presented backstage as Shawn Michaels, Ironize and Patrick Mannion prepared to compete in the first ever Hardcore War match. The timer was ticking down in which the three superstars would engage in a match that would not finish until just before the main event at the end of the night. The superstars would fight, with the final pin being the hardcore champ. Michaels started off with a DDT on Mannion, straight to concrete. Ironize charged in quickly with a steel chair, wiping the champ into next week. Mannion reversed the chair into Ironize, and then kicked a shovel back into Shawn's face! Michaels recovered and dropped Mannion with a nice falcon arrow, and then took off his shirt and began strangling former champ Ironize. Mannion broke up the choke, and dropped Michaels straight onto the backstage concrete with a vertical suplex. Mannion then climbed atop a table and clocked Ironize in with a flying elbow. Ironize rolled the pin over to get a three count.

Submission Eurasian Championship match
William Regal d. Albert Beefcake (c)

The Eurasian champion arrived to a huge ovation as he strutted his stuff in the ring busting the Beefer Bus stop. Regal broke up celebrations as he raced into the ring and took the Beefer down with a press and hit him hard with right hands. Albert got to his feet raring loudly, only to have Regal German suplex him! The Alaskan Bear-Whale recovered and the two superstars found themselves rolling across the ring beating the taste out of each others mouths. Regal hammered Albert with a pump handle slam, and attempted to clamp down an abdominal stretch but Albert fought out, reversing it into another pump handle slam. The Beefcake maneuvered into an STF, but was close to the ropes Regal slipping out quickly. Regal managed to drop the Beefer down with a high impact move and clamped down the Regal Stretch. Albert struggled but managed to fight his way out of the move. Once back on his feet Regal revealed a pair of brass knuckles which he used to absolutely plaster the Eurasian champion with legally. He once again locked up the Regal Stretch and Albo tapped out. William Regal celebrated with his fans, taking the time to wave and thank the heavens for the power of the punch.

Violent J picked up the dazed Ironize and slammed him straight back down with a flapjack and then attack Mannion.

Banging made his way to the ring next to defend his National championship. Banging stared on blankly as Jason Shamrock made his way into the ring and went on the charge snapping Banging down with a neck breaker. Banging dropped Shamrock with a nice DDT, but when trying for another got put down with a Shamrock DDT. Shamrock followed the hardcore trend and nailed Banging with a steel chair but couldn't keep him down! The match spilled to the outside of the ring, Banging trying to gash Shamrock with a glass bottle! The challenger busted Banging open with another savage chair shot, but Banging managed to nail his opponent with a Devil Driver!!! It wasn't enough though, Shamrock coming to and hitting him with a stunner and a pin.
 
Backstage Albert Beefcake was half moping, half strutting when he came across ICWW superstar, Stat-Man. Stat-Man assured the Alaskan Bear-Whale that he had done well with three successful title match wins. The Beefer smiled and offered Stat-Man a loud "rar" as he strutted his way to the shower rooms. Stat-Man flew away.
 
Hardcore Championship War
Violent J d. Tony McTier, Shawn Michaels, Patrick Mannion and Ironize

We returned to the hardcore championship war for the third and final time in the night, awaiting a winner. A battered and bruised Ironize staggered away, obviously having had enough after both the Tag and War matches. Tony McTier who had apparently jumped in nailed Shawn Michaels with a knee to the stomach, and then Violent J took him down with a Lou Thesz press. Michaels took Violent J down with a hard flapjack shaking the violent clown to the core, when he tried to stand and hit Michaels with a chair shot he could do nothing but fall to the ground. Mannion capitalized send Michaels into a pile of equipment and clamping down a single legged crab on Violent J. J kicked out but stayed down while Mannion was distracted by the still official hardcore champion Shawn Michaels. Mannion caught him with a powerslam, and attempted a sleeper hold, only to find his move reversed. The referee checked Mannion and began his ten count, but Mannion found a second win after six. Tony McTier and Violent J found themselves a fair way from their opponent in amongst cables and sound equipment. McTier nailed Violent J with a stunner, but Violent J was able to come back with a nice psycho flip and a pin to become the new champ. After being awarded the belt Violent J hopped into a nearby VIP cart and sped away from the battle field, and broken bodies.
 
Backstage Lord Nomad was talking to an interviewer, he had this to say; "I am Lord Nomad, I've never beaten Xio before, but guess what? I've got nothing to lose here. My buddy Mick Lucifer is the referee, so what? Nomad can do the job himself!"

Special Referee Heavyweight Championship match
Xio (c) & Lord Nomad tied when referee stopped the match

Lord Nomad made his entrance first as the challenger jumped into the ring barely visible in the darkness of the arena. Xio made his explosive entrance next, strutting down to the ring with the ICWW heavyweight championship over his shoulder. Mick Lucifer made his big entrance making his way to the ring decked out in striped shirt and then eerily smiling at Xio and Nomad. The bell was sounded and Xio was the first to ignore Lucifer diving at Nomad with a Lou Thesz press. He followed up with a high impact spinebuster, but Nomad jumped right back up sending the champion into the ropes and then down to the mat with a flapjack. Xio quickly retrieved a chair and slid in while Mick Lucifer smiled on, Xio knocked Lord Nomad out of his shoes with a thunderous chair shot. Nomad got to his feet but was bashed over the head again with a chair, he tried to send Xio into the ropes but was rolled up into a pin. Lucifer dropped but only one and a half, Lord Nomad kicking out in no time. Xio soon executed his own version of the VanDaminator! Nomad recovered and attacked back with a chair, he sent Xio into the ropes with an irish whip and nailed the Mail Bomb!
Xio got to his feet quickly, apparently less affected by the move than Nomad. Xio dropped Nomad with a huge stunner, busting his lip open sending blood down his chin. Mick Lucifer smiled as he came between Nomad and Xio, and then wrapped his hand around Xio's neck. With Xio tired from the hard battle he couldn't fight it, Mick Lucifer dropping him out cold with a thunderous chokeslam!
Nomad staggered over to Mick Lucifer and the referee of darkness gave Nomad a hug, only to drop him with a huge belly to belly suplex!! Lucifer called for the bell and smiled as he stood dominant over the two warriors he'd just levelled. The time keeper brought Lucifer the belt and he snatched the microphone from the announcer and sent an evil laugh through the arena. At the ramp Lucifer held the title high and smiled toward the broken bodies of Xio and Nomad  when suddenly a huge hairy fist slammed Mick Lucifer from behind, provoking him to charge backstage as Dead or Alive went off the air.
