** This is NOT the first episode of Aggression written. Sadly, we do not have a record of any earlier ICW-A "shows" or anything from when "Vengeance" was the Thursday night ICW brand. This is, however, the first site-posting, and it will be dubbed, officially...001.

[Aggression logo]
A limo is shown pulling up to the Steinman Center Complex where Aggression is LIVE! The driver opens the door and the camera starts at the foot and travels waaayyy up the leg of one Satcy Keibler! As she exits, Triple H, Kevin Nash, Iron Man and finally co-owner of Aggression Ed Moorhouse step out in that order.
01: (looking at each member of his Executioners) Tonight is our night. No bullshit. I'm not in the mood. And...wait....
(Ed notices another limo parked out front...)
Hey you!!! (He grabs a stage hand with a headset by the collar...)
Who the hell does that belong to?? (motions to the limo)
PERSON: Uhhh....The Rock, sir.
01: What did you say?
PERSON: The limo.....it belongs to The Rock......
(HUGE POP)
01: (smiling) Welcome back, Rocky. Listen, you stay out here...and if ANYONE from Explosion shows up here tonight....you keep them out here and let Triple H and myself know as soon as you can!
GUY: Yes, sir.
(01 smirks....)
----------------------------------------
[AGGRESSION INTRO, FIREWORKS, CROWD GOING NUTS!! Mark and Heyman do their thing then, backstage...]
PERSON #2: (Knocks on a door...GOLDBERG's theme hits as he appears in the doorway and begins to menacingly strut around backstage, up some stairs and through the curtain...)
M: What a way to kick off Aggression! It's Goldberg! And he looks pissed!
(Goldberg saunters up to the ring and gets in. While he spits fire and farts thunder and lightning, a wide shot of the arena is shown with a graphic over it)
M: We want to remind you tonight that in just 3 Weeks Playstation 2's Smackdown! Here Comes the Pain presents: ICW: ICONICIDE!)
P: That show is going to be amazing. Four Icons will go into that night, but how many will come out???
[RHYNO'S THEME HITS...Rhyno and Goldberg stare each other down. Rhyno is over as a face BIG time. Goldberg gets huge pops as well, but he has no allegiance to either Stephanie McMahon's Alliance or Ed Moorhouse's Executioners. He's just really pissed off lately]
[The match lasts about 10 minutes to start the show. A lot of brawling, a lot of punches. Rhyno is carrying the match, but surprisingly, Goldberg is handling himself well and the crowd is behind the match. Toward the end, business picks up...
A BIG neckbreaker delivered by Rhyno puts both competitors flat on their backs. After a bit of time, both crawl to opposite corners. Rhyno gets in position to deliver a Gore..he sprints toward Goldberg who TOSSES THE REFEREE INTO RHYNO'S PATH!
The Ref is out cold and Rhyno is stunned. Picking a perfect opportunity, IRON MAN runs down from the back and delivers a HUGE POWER BOMB to Rhyno, but turns and is SPEARED BY GOLDBERG! Nash runs to the ring, followed by Lesnar and before they could get to the ring, Brock catches Nash and swings him into the steel staris!
An unconscious Rhyno comes to, but is met by a HUGE JACKNIFE POWER BOMB from Goldberg. The Ref comes to....1, 2, 3....GOLDBERG WINS!
With Rhyno out, Nash and Lesnar battle into the ring. Goldberg is watching them with a smirk on his face. Nash goes for a big boot, but it's caught and he gets turned around...LESNAR F5s NASH! Just as Brock finishes the job...
SPEAR FROM GOLDBERG!!!
Goldberg is standing amidst all of the carnage when a voice comes over the loudspeaker. Triple H is standing atop the ramp with Ed Moorhouse.
H: Well done, Goldberg. You piece of shit. You just killed half of the upper card. But I like that. I like your style. (They walk toward the ring) That's why, Goldberg...you'd be happy to know that it also means I like you. (In the ring now) So what do you say, Bill? Are you going to join us? Or do I have to END YOUR CAREER?
(The two are face-to-face and the crowd is chanting Goldberg's name. LONGEST STARE DOWN EVER!)
01: Easy there boys. Let's not tear into each other just yet. (H and G are still nose to nose).
G: TRIPLE H!!! You wanna be next? Is that what you're tempting me with?? You are walking a fine line here, Game. You better watch your next step...because mine will likely be a spear straight to hell!
(Pop.)
01: Now Goldberg, you don't want that, do you? I'll tell you what. You think it over big man. If you decide to come with us, that's fine. We'll be even more indestructable. If you turn us down.....then Triple H will tear you apart and you can run back to that other third rate federation that is run by those ignorant p*ssies!
(As H and Ed turn to walk away, Goldberg takes a step forward.)
G: You wanna know my decision??? (Goldberg charges toward them, but dodged and then kicked in the back. Triple H takes off his suit jacket and grabs Goldberg by the back of the head)
01: GOLDBERG...YOU JUST MADE A BIG MISTAKE!
(TRIPLE H PEDIGREES GOLDBERG, and the two leave the ring)
------------------------------
MATCH: Rey Mysterio and Ultimo Dragon v. Los Guerreros for the Number One Contendership to the Tag Team Titles!
AMAZING, PPV WORTHY MATCHUP! This match is EPIC and features EVERYTHING. In fact, the match is so long that Aggression goes to commercial so that they can make sure they get in their sold ad spots!
Back from commercial....
Chavo and Rey are legal. Eddie has set up a table outside of the ring. Dragon sees this and does battle with Eddie all around the outside. Chavo and Rey are bouncing off the ropes and leap frogging each other. Chavo catches Rey for a neckbreaker. Chavo goes for a moonsault...NOBODY HOME! Chavo up, whipped into ropes by Rey...sets up a 619...but Eddie is in the ring and he trips up Rey! Rey kicks Eddie to the face...Dragon in the ring...Asai Moonsault on Eddie...Rey hits the 619 on Chavo... Chavo actually rolls out of the ring and is laid out on the table. Eddie has come to and grabs Dragon. They go up top for a HUGE SUPER DUPER PLEX AND BOTH MEN ARE LAID OUT! Rey sees his chance! Chavo still on the table...Rey bouces on the rope, spins around and does a backwards moonsault onto Chavo and through the table!! All four men are laid out!! The Ref rules DOUBLE COUNT OUT!!!! Bell Rings and he match is over!
Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is watching closely with Kurt Angle.
K: Steph, what the heck are you going to do? Who gets the Number One Contender?
S: Well, I have no choice Kurt. The Tag Team belts will be on the line in a Tag Team Triple Threat TLC Match between Edge and Christian, Mysterio and Dragon, and Los Guerreros! That match will take place at ICONICIDE!
(Pop!)
K: I have to hand it to you, Steph. You do an amazing job here. I just wish you called all of the shots and didn't have to worry about that crooked Icon.
S: Well, I'm working on that.
[There is a knock at the door]
S: Come in..............ADAM!
A: Hello, Stephanie.
S: Adam, this is not a good idea. If he sees you....
A: Don't worry. I brought back up. Listen. You are the only one on this brand that I can trust. As a strictly business meeting here tonight...we need to talk about Iconicide. It's your move, however, if you are going to book the main event for that show, I need to know that Ed Moorhouse is taken care of...TONIGHT!
S: I'm looking over my shoulder as much as you are, Adam. Don't worry. I'm going to stick it to Triple H...
(Kurt and Adam exchange glances)
S: NO!! Not like that! Listen, just follow me out to the ring.....
[They leave. On the way out, THE ROCK is walking by!! He stops and glares intensely at Stephanie. Angle gets between the two.]
S: Rock, listen I....
R: [Puts a hand up] I'll see you out there.
[They part ways]
(Commercial)
--------------------------
[Stephanie McMahon's music hits...she heads to the ring to a HUGE pop]
S: It is with great honor that I am able to come down here tonight and make the first major announcement regarding ICW: ICONICIDE! To help me out here tonight, I'd like all of you Aggression fans to help me welcome the co-owner of ICW Explosion...ADAM LASKOWSKI!
[HUGE Defeaning pop as the Icon's music plays and Adam plays to the crowd and dances to the ring]
A: Steph, thank you for allowing me to come down to the ring tonight and help promote this Pay Per View. I'd just like to say that I am thrilled at what Explosion is doing and thanks to you Ms. McMahon, Aggression is hotter than ever and the two brands are equally amazing. My hat is off to you and what you have done on this show. ICW is amazing!
S: Thank you, Adam. First off, I'd like to announce that in three weeks time both brands will put together an amazing show at Iconicide. Tonight, I am proud to announce that Aggression has done so well recently that our brand will hold the night's main event!
[Pop]
A: And you deserve it, Steph. But just so you Explosion fans in the audience don't feel ripped off...Erica and I promise that the Explosion card will feature some of the best matches of the night.
S: Adam, I can't wait. Explosion will deliver. In addition, I will announce that Aggression has already booked a World Tag Team match between Edge and Christian, Los Guerreros and Mysterio and Dragon in a TLC Match!
[Pop]
S: Also, Mick Foley..er...Cactus Jack and Al Snow have announced that there will be a Hardcore Invitational....which they will detail TONIGHT!
[Pop]
S: But on to the main event...I'd like to bring out a person that will be wrestling in that very main event.....Ladies and Gentleman....THE ROCK!
[Rocky's music hits and he gets a mixed reaction. He takes his time getting to the ring and once there, simply takes in the electric crowd and raises and eyebrow.]
R: Finally...............(pause)
Fiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnaaalllyyyy.........(pause)
FFFFFFFFF.......(pause)
Fiiinnnnaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyyyy (pause).............[ROCKY! ROCKY!]
FINALLY THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO ICW AGGRESSION!
[HUGE POP!!!]
R: No no no no no no! No! You don't cheer the Rock! Not after you all SCREWED the Rock! You people make me sick!
[Boooo!]
R: 2 Months ago. The Rock was on top of the world! He had is TV Title. He had his business associate! And he had a match against that girly Kurt Angle! But what happened? The Rock had it won! He was going to hit the people's elbow! He was going to retain his title! He was going to make all of you redneck pieces of crap happy! But nooooo! BAM! Steel Chair right to the People's temple..Angle covers...1, 2, 3...ANGLE WINS!
[POP!]
R: Go ahead and cheer. The Rock doesn't care. He'll turn his back on you people just like they did to the Rock! Stephanie McMahon....You think that by putting the Rock in the main event of the night at the biggest event of the year will make me forgive and forget? Wrong. You think you'll have the Rock's good graces? Wrong. You think that the Rock WANTS that World Heavyweight Title?......
Right.
But Stephanie...When the Rock WINS in three weeks....he's going to slap the taste out of your mouth! He's going to Rock Bottom Ed Moorhouse! The Rock doesn't need anyone...He'll be the geetar slingin'....folk song singin'....finger lickin'...ass kickin'....jabroni beatin'....lalalalalalalalalowww pie eatin'....got nothing to hold back because the Rock is gonna rub it in that slut face or yours all night long....WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION....IF YA SMELLLLLALALALALA.....
[KURT ANGLE'S MUSIC HITS........]
K: Rocky...that is no way to talk to a lady...and your boss!
R: Kurt Angle.....who....asked you?
K: I---
R: IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO ASKED YOU! I'm coming for you at Iconicide in three weeks and you can't stop me.
K: Oh I'll be waiting Rock. You bring it. You bring it good. I'll whip your freakin' butt!
[Walks to the Ring...]
[MOTORHEAD blares over the speakers. All 4 Executioners stand atop the entrance ramp. Ed is clapping]
E: Very nice Stephanie. Adam. Very very fun and interesting display you're putting on here tonight. But you are forgetting one little thing. Triple H is the World Champion! The Rock and Kurt Angle aren't fighting for the title. Trips here is going to take on Goldberg! I already booked it!
S: [Standing in the ring with Rock and Angle on either side of her. Adam is behind them] Well Ed, that's the thing. It seems as though we have two main events. However, Angle and Rock can't fight each other for the World Heavyweight Title when Triple H has it.
E: Good thinking, genius. Did your dad tell you that?
S: HOWEVER...they will be involved in the main event.
E: Impossible. It's Triple H vs. Goldberg.
S: Yes. But we are forgetting one other thing. You see, I also signed a rematch agreement in Stone Cold's new contract, so technically, he should be fighting Triple H again. By the way Ed....how does that stunner feel now?
E: [visibly angry] STEPHANIE! You are out of your mind! What on earth are you trying to pull...
S: [Still talking, as if Ed hadn't said anything....] And then there's Hogan...
E: HOGAN?? That piece of sh*t! What the hell does he have to do with anything?!
S: Ed...you are missing the point. In three weeks at Iconicide...the main event will be for the Aggression World Heavyweight Title! It will be a Six Man Elimination between Triple H....Goldberg.....Kurt Angle.....The Rock....Hulk Hogan...and STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!!!
[HUGE POP...H and Ed are going crazy]
S: Oh and Triple H....be prepared to defend that title in....HELL IN A CELL!
E: MCMAHON! You can't do this! I'll have you! I'll get you for this! And YOU! ADAM! You little sh*t. I'll take you over. I'll invade your show every day for the rest of my life! I'll get Tony back in there! I'll get your GIRLFRIEND to come over to Aggression!
A: Are you going to do it alone?
E: ?
A: Because you're boys won't be there to back you up!
[Just then...THE PAYNES sneak up behind Iron Man and Nash and beat them around the arena! Chaos breaks out and Angle and Rock go at it in the ring! Ed begins to walk to the ring, leaving Triple H at the top of the ramp. Goldberg appears and SPEARS TRIPLE H! Ed runs through the crowd to escape. Back stage, The Paynes have had their way with the Executioners. Stephanie and Adam exit the Ring and Goldberg chases Rock and Angle away. Goldberg is left in the ring, fuming!]
==================PART TWO======================
Back from Commercial....
[WHAT DOES EVERYBODY WANT??......Al Snow's music hits and he is being accompanied to the ring by two old friends...Cactus Jack and...HEAD!]
A: [Listening to Head] Mmmm hmm. Right. Mmmm hmm. [To Audience] Head here has just told me to announce the plan that Mick and I have been unfolding for the past couple of weeks.
CJ: Al...I think that's a great idea...to let all of these people here in....HOUSTON, TEXAS(Pop!)......
[Texas? Eh, what the hell....)
CJ: ...that Al and I have been talking to Stephanie McMahon about unretiring the Hardcore Title!
(POP!)
CJ: You see...Ed Moorhouse...that manipulating son of a bitch...not only retired that title, but he also put a lot of people out of work. People like myself and Al Snow. Hardcore wrestling is the only thing that we know. It's the only thing that we want to do. And to take that away from us is a crime. Stephanie has given Al and I permission to bring back that title....that way of life....in 3 weeks ad Iconicide!
(POP!)
CJ: So at Iconicide...we will.....(Al stops Foley and motions to Head...) Excuse me...HEAD will hold an 8-Man Hardcore Invitational for the Hardcore Championship! Any man who thinks they are man...or Head...enough to hold that title can come out that night and fight for it. May the most hardcore son of a bitch win!
[THE SANDMAN'S MUSIC hits...]
S: Cactus Jack...Al....Head......I'm in!! But be assured...I'll be walking away with that title. But as for now.....Al Snow....you're mine!!
[Bell rings....match begins...]
[Al Snow d. The Sandman by slamming Head into the skull of Sandman, then delivering a Snow Plow]
---------------------------
Backstage, Ed Moorhouse bursts into Stephanie McMahon's office with Nash and Iron Man. Adam and the Paynes are there.
01: Adam....I don't like the shit your trying to pull!
03: Oh, and invading Explosion was fine with me, I'm sure...
[The Paynes and Executioners are fuming at each other from behind their respective leaders]
01: You want to play like this, do you? Well then...I have a proposition for you. At Iconicide....for ONE TIME ONLY...We will have a CROSS BRAND MATCH-UP! An ICON GRUDGE MATCH, if you will...
03: I'm listening....
01: At Iconicide, it will be KEVIN NASH and IRON MAN versus THE PAYNES in a No Disqualifications Tornado Tag Match, Icon in both corners!!
[HUGE POP]
03: You want those two HENCHMEN to take on a powerhouse like the Paynes??
01: I want these two to tear your two apart!
03: I'll think about it. I'll have the answer for you on Explosion. HOWEVER...if those two show up on my show and cause trouble...the deal is off. You just wait until Monday. I'll have your answer then!
01: Fine. And you listen to me Adam. I know for sure that it won't be long until Tony returns. He has to. He's the reason that ICW was even born in the first place. Don't you worry. Because with your girlfriend Erica laid up at home after that chair shot from Orton, you'll have no control over the Horsemen. You're a sorry excuse for an Icon, Adam. Just you wait until Tony comes back. It will be just the wat it's supposed to be. 01 and 02 reigning supreme again...and Erica under my wing right here on Aggression. You better watch your step, Adam. Big Daddy is breathing down the back of your neck.

[Triple H is shown in the Executioners' suite. He is admiring his title belt, then heads to the door. He opens the door to leave...but THE ROCK is standing there]
H: What the hell do you want?
R: That title.
H: Well, you aren't getting it. Good bye.
R: Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! Did The Rock tell you that you could leave? You see, The Rock and Triple H...they have a lot in common. We're two of the greatest wrestlers who ever lived. We both hate Stephanie McMahon. We're both good look-----
(Rocky looks H up and down)
Well, we're both physical specimens. HOWEVER...The Rock knows this. The Rock knows that in three weeks some things are going to happen. He knows that He's going to Rock Bottom Kurt Angle. He knows that he's going to deliver the People's Elbow to Stone Cold Steve Austin. He knows that he's going to do BOTH to Hulk Hogan and he knows that he's going to SPEAR Goldberg. The Rock also knows that when it's just The Rock and Triple H left in that Cell...The Rock is going to lay the SMACKDOWN on the Champ 1...2....3.
[Stephanie McMahon walks up to the two of them]
S: And Stephanie McMahon knows that you both have a match tonight. A Tag Team match. Against Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan. So get your gear on.
[POP!]

MAIN EVENT: HHH and THE ROCK v. STEVE AUSTIN and HULK HOGAN
The short synopsis is this....
At the end of the match, with the Referee distracted, The Rock is setting up The People's Elbow on Hogan. Just then, KURT ANGLE runs out and intercepts The Rock! He delivers an ANGLE SLAM on Rocky, then runs back up the ramp!
Hogan crawls to Austin in the corner and TAGS HIM IN! Austin looks down as The Rock, who is trying to make his way to H. H tags himself in when Rock is close enough.
H and A exchange blows. Austin REVERSES a Pedigree...Kick to the Gut...Stunner! Hogan is hulking up on the outside! Austin heads over to Hogan and tags him in!!! He's Hulking up with Austin...The crowd LOVES it! Austin tells him to drop the leg but....
HOGAN POINTS IS FINGER AT AUSTIN!!
Austin is confused...Austin is being backed into a corner with Hogan's finger wagging at him. Austin realizes what is going on, SO HE FLIPS OFF HOGAN, but....
HOGAN STUNS AUSTIN!!!!!! HOGAN FLIPS OFF AUSTIN!!!
Ed Moorhouse walks to the ring with a chair! The referee tries to take it from him, but he pushes him away! [Bell, DQ]
Ed picks up Austin, hits him with a chair!!!! H is up, pedigrees Austin onto the chair....Hogan Leg Drops Austin!!!!
Ed grabs a mic and stands over Austin...
01: You like the taste of that, Steve?? That will teach you to stun me!! You think you can get away with that? Let me ask you something Steve...What do you think of my new friend, Hulk Hogan?? Huh? You like him? Yes....HOGAN IS ON MY SIDE!!! HE'S NOT A FAN LOVING BABY FACE! HE'S JUST LIKE MR. AMERICA! HE HATES ALL OF YOU! HE KNOWS WHERE HIS LOYALTIES LIE!!!
So Austin...When Rock takes out Angle and Triple H takes out Goldberg, just remember this: every blow Hogan delivers to you is a slap on the face from me!!! I warned you Austin! I warned you!!!
