ICW Aggression presents: SUDDEN DEATH!!
Opening video of tonight's main event between Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. It has all the bells and whistles that builds drama and suspense. Ed Moorhouse is the special guest referee, but if Triple H loses, Ed has to step down as Co-GM of Aggression. If Austin loses, Stephanie McMahon steps down. The video ends with what heppened last week, as Ed Moorhouse gave Austin an Icon Cutter and quick counted HHH to win over Goldberg, securing Ed's spot as referee tonight! OMG!
All KINDS of crazy pyro and a SICK set that makes WWE Unforgiven's set look like a bunch of two year old's put it together. (They probably did)
But anyway, Mean Mark and Paul Heyman do their whole bit and they are pumped up for tonight! Mark can't wait to see Ed Moorhouse get dismissed from his Co-GM duties while Heyman INSISTS that Stephanie's time is running out. The butt heads over the issue, but are interrupted by....
LA RESISTANCE'S MUSIC!
World Tag Team Championship
Edge and Christian (c) v. La Resistance
La Resistance gets some pretty decent heel heat from the crowd. They're cocky, they hate Americans, Canadians...you name it. And...they cheat. The crowd would LOVE it if they had to job here tonight and earn their stripes the hard way instead of being put over a month after their arrival. We'll find out soon.
YOU THINK YOU KNOW ME? ROB ZOMBIE blares over the speakers and the Champions are out. The crowd loves the return to their totally awesome personalities that made them fan favorites. The Tag Champs totally reek of awesomeness.
The two teams figure out who will start the match while the referee hold up the Tag Team Title Belts. The bell rings...
Dupree and Edge start this one off. Good match to start the show that lasts about 15 minutes. Dupree is really impressive and is dominating Edge in the early going. Some good wrestling here, but Dupree maintains the clear advantage and after some time, he wrenches Edge into a headlock and moves him into the corner where Granier is waiting. Dupree tags in the other half of La Resistance and they double team Edge! The Ref kicks Dupree out of the ring and Granier goes to work right where Dupree left off.
Christian has been outside the ring for quite some time, rooting hard for his teammate as Granier lulls him to sleep with a hold. Edge has his consciousness checked....
Arm goes up...and flops back down...ONE!.....Arm goes up...and back down...TWO!...Once more...the arm goes up....but half way down, Edge shows signs of life!! Edge elbows furiously to the gut of Granier and then swings him off the ropes and is met by a SPINEBUSTER from Edge!
HOT TAG! And Christian is finally in. Dupree charges him but Christian knocks him down quickly and then as Granier gets up...he goes back down hard after a Right hand from Christian!
Dupree rolls out of the ring and Christian and Edge hit a DOUBLE SUPLEX on Granier! Edge out of the ring and as Christian plays to the crowd, Granier crawls to his side. Christian grabs Granier's legs to try and pull him back, but it's too late...DUPREE TAGS IN! Dupree climbs the top rope and, as Christian still clings to Granier, Dupree smacks Christian in the face with a flying leg kick and then covers!
1......2....KICK OUT, and Christian reverses his fortunes by rolling up Dupree!
1......2....KICK OUT! Not over yet and the Champs were so close.
Now Christian tags Edge back in and pounds away on Dupree. From La Resistance's corner, Granier is distracting the Ref! Dupree capitalizes in the ring and hits a LOW BLOW on Edge! Ouch! But Christian is in the ring...UNPRETTIER ON DUPREE!
Christian rolls out as the ref turns around, but Granier tries to help his friend!
SPEAR! EDGE SPEARS GRANIER!
La Resistance is taken out and Edge hooks Dupree's leg...
1......2......3!!!!
Winners and STILL Tag Team Champions: Edge and Christian
==========
After the celebrations conclude and as all four competitors leave ringside, we see a video of the intense feud that has been building up between our next two competitors.
Rhyno v. Iron Man
This match is No Disqualifications!
Rhyno is out first and the crowd loves him. Iron Man is out next. These two men have an intense dislike for each other. Rhyno is coming off of a brutal and violent match in the Gauntlet against Triple H and it is a wonder he's even standing. He has a bandage over his forehead.
Another good match that lasts about 15 minutes. Sheer Brute Force is displayed in this one. We'll keep this short so I can get to the big matches later and write a lot.
The crowd gets behind this match as it goes along and is really behind Rhyno. They hate Iron Man. He has been influenced by the likes of Ed Moorhouse and Triple H and is just pure sadistic evil. He is giving Rhyno an enormous beat down.
We pick it up at a crucial point. Iron Man has just power bombed Rhyno straight to hell. He goes for the pin....but stops. He wants to dish out more punishment. He does, but it is costly. After receiving some huge blows to his injured head, which busts him wide open, Rhyno takes charge. The Man Beast is able to duck a punch and...
GORE!!! GORE ON IRON MAN! Rhyno celebrates and the crowd LOVES it! What a change of momentum! However, down from the back...
IT'S KEVIN NASH! Nash runs down from the back -- with a LEAD PIPE!
Iron Man sits up in the ring and Rhyno is cornered -- though he doesn't know Iron Man is behind him.
The referee tries desparately to get Nash out of the ring, but Nash doesn't listen! He swings the lead pipe...RHYNO DUCKS!
THE PIPE SMASHES IRON MAN right across the face!!! Nash is horrified!
Rhyno wastes no time. GORE! GORE ON NASH! Rhyno covers Iron Man...
1........2.......3!!!!
WINNER: RHYNO
Rhyno celebrates up the entrance ramp while Nash goes to the aid of his buddy Iron Man. Iron Man slowly gets to his feet...and PUSHES NASH AWAY!
Iron Man grabs Nash...AND CHOKESLAMS HIM STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!
Iron Man leaves his buddy in the ring totally laid out as he leaves, angry as all hell, and walks up the entrance ramp!

Backstage...
Katelyn Hamm is with Stone Cold Steve Austin:
KH: Stone Cold...the deck is stacked against you tonight with Ed Moorhouse being Special Referee. What can you do to overcome this disadvantage?
SA: What can I do? Last Thursday night, Ed Moorhouse came marching down to the ring with a little referee shirt on and he gave Stone Cold and Icon Cutter. Let me tell you this young lady...If Ed Moorhouse so much as looks at Stone Cold funny tonight...he's getting a stunner, Triple H is getting a stunner and Stone Cold will be the next World Heavyweight Champion. I've been screwed to many times on this federation. No one...and I mean no one...will get away with screwing Stone Cold tonight. Guaran-damn-teed. What's Stone Cold gonna do about it? STUNNER! WORLD CHAMPION!
...That's what.
===========
United States Championship:
Booker T (c) v. Scott Steiner
HOLLA....IF YA HEAR ME! Steiner, the challenger...is out first.
CAN YOU DIG IT...SUCKA?! Booker T, the Champion, is next. He is accompanied by Jonathan Coachman of the Nation of Domination.
An "okay" match. Booker T is a tremendous athlete and Steiner is a lumpy, slow, talentless jerk, but the fans seem to like him if only because Book and the Nation are total Heels.
Steiner and Book go back and forth for a bit. Steiner kisses his muscles, Book looks at his hand...you know the drill.
Steiner picks Booker T up above his head and drops him hard to the ground behind him, then does some push-ups...which turns out to be costly. He covers...BUT BOOK KICKS OUT after a huge TWO!!!
Booker T capitalizes and hits that scissors kick and Steiner is toast...1....2.....3!
The rest of the Nation -- Faarooq and New Jack -- run out to the ring and beat Steiner's face in to a chorus of boos.
Only a swarm of referees can break up this mauling as the bell rings over and over again. Booker T is still the US Champ. And Steiner is still the US...CHUMP! HAR!!!
Winner: Booker T
==============
In the Executioners' suite...
IM: You little bitch! What'd you have to come out and f--- up my match for?! I had him! I had him laid out!
KN: Iron Man, I'm sorry....Executioners always have each others' backs...You were just GORED! I thought I'd help out by taking him out!
IM: STAY OUT OF MY MATCHES......or you'll get worse than the choke slam I gave you!
01: GUYS! ENOUGH! I have so much shit on my mind right now...I don't need this! Iron Man, go blow off steam or something.
IM: OH -- I'LL BLOW OFF STEAM! Someone's going to regret crossing Iron Man....Rhyno's days are numbered....And Nash...so ARE YOURS!

A video plays reacapping the history of this Rock-Goldberg match. We see Rock's car get struck by that train for the 1000th time and then Angle's "funeral." This match was set up after Goldberg won a #1 Contender's Match between himself, Rhyno, Iron Man and Nash.
Lights flicker around the ring, the ropes replaced with barbed wire. This is one of the most violent matches in wrestling.
THE ROCK's music hits and he is greeted by boos from the crowd. He examines the ring and the barbed wire. He carefully climbs into the ring.
Backstage, Goldberg is walking.....He reaches the entrance ramp....PYRO pops all around him and crazy explosions accompany the challegner to the ring, along with a HUGE pop from the crowd....
Intercontinental Championship Barbed Wire Match:
The Rock (c) v. Goldberg
The bell rings. The two stare each other down and then lock up. Each time one of them is pushed to the brink of the wires, they stop short and sigh relief. The two men flirt with the dangerous ropes, but no one gives until....
The Rock hits a SPINEBUSTER on Goldberg and sets up for a would-be People's Elbow. Since there are no ropes to bounce off of, Rocky removes his elbow pad...looks to the left...looks to the right....raises and eyebrow...AND DROPS THE ELBOW WHILE STANDING UP!
The pops right back to his feet and picks Goldberg up by the back of the head. One....Two....KISS THAT RIGHT....THREE! big punches to the face and the Rocky starts to whip Goldberg....but Goldberg hold onto the Rock and reverses the Irish Whip...and the Rock goes flying into the Barbed Wire!!!
My God, that has to hurt! The Rock is in serious pain and Goldberg grabs a People's Leg and drags the Rock out of the mess...the wires digging into The Rock's body and pulling flesh away as he is dragged.
Goldberg picks up Rocky and slams him to the mat. and goes for the pin. 1...KICK OUT after just one!
The Rock is back up and, bleeding from his legs and torso, claws back to try and regain momentum.
This 45-minute bloodfest continues. Momentum changing hands at each blow as these two men duke it out, sweat and blood dripping from their tired bodies.
Soon, Rocky pushes Goldberg into the barbed wire! Goldberg has his leg stuck in the wire!! It's wrapped up in there and he can't move, he's helpless! The Rock grabs the other leg and starts working it over, the pain increasing at every second in Goldberg's massive legs!
Finally, Goldberg manages to somehow kick The Rock away and he drags himself to his feet. Goldberg, who can hardly walk now, starts to fight...but the Rock hits a neckbreaker and both men are laid out on their backs.
The Rock POPS UP and picks up Goldberg. Goldberg is able to reverse and whip Rocky into the ropes where the Rock gets stuck. Goldberg limps over to the IC Champ and wraps barbed wire around his head...pulling back on the wire as it cuts the Rock's skull wide open. This is NOT for the squeemish.
More of the same. More blood. More momentum shifts...then...
The Rock....with an ounce of energy left...wearing a crimson mask...ROCK BOTTOMS GOLDBERG and goes to cover...1.....2....KICK OUT!
The Rock is beside himself. He gets up and starts to argue with the referee! Goldberg slowly gets to his feet, then puts his hands on his knees and stoops down low...
SPEAR! SPEAR ON ROCKY!
Goldberg goes over to the ropes and starts growling and pulling them apart! What on earth is he doing?! He wants to wrap the Rock in those barbed wires!
Goldberg drags the entire left side of the barbed wired ropes over to Rock and mashes them into his face! Then...Goldberg covers...
1.....2......KICK OUT!!! My God!
The Rock is up...slowly...and Goldberg is stunned! Rock..skin bathed in blood...suplexes Goldberg on top of the heap of barbed wire...then picks him up and...ROCK BOTTOM! ROCK BOTTOM!!!
The Rock stands over Goldberg and starts to mouth off to him...but the crowd...is cheering....
Miraculously.....as if sent down by God.....
KURT ANGLE IS IN THE CROWD! ANGLE.....IS MAKING HIS WAY THROUGH THE CROWD!!!!!!!!! ANGLE.....ANGLE....ANGLE.....IS ALIVE! AND GODDAMNIT...HE'S GOT A SCORE TO SETTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As Angle stands in the ring, The Rock, white eyes bulging from his blood-soaked skull...looks like he has seen a ghost.
Then...without warning...ANGLE SLAM! ANGLE SLAM! ANGLE SLAM!
ANGLE PULLS DOWN HIS STRAPS! ANGLE PICKS UP ROCK AGAIN AND ANOTHER ANGLE SLAM ONTO THE BARBED WIRE....AND A THIRD ONE...JUST AS A FINAL SCREW YOU!!!!!!!!!
Goldberg slowly comes to and drapes a bloody arm over The Rock.
1........2..........3!
YOUR WINNER AND NEW INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION:
GOLDBERG!
Goldberg is awarded the IC belt, but is barely conscious. The Rock isn't conscious at all...but KURT ANGLE IS BACK...AND HE JUST TORE THE ROCK APART!!!!!!!!

Katelyn Hamm is backstage with HHH...
KH: Triple H...even though Ed Moorhouse is in your corner tonight, isn't the distraction with Iron Man and Nash taking you off your game?
H: Taking me off my game? I AM THE GAME! And whatever Nash and Iron Man want to do...that's fine. Listen to me...Ed Moorhouse or no Ed Moorhouse...I am coming into tonight as the World Heavyweight Champion. And I plan on leaving like that. And Austin better watch out because Steve....IT'S GAME OVER!
===========
Cruiserweight Championship/Winner gets Lita's services:
Ultimo Dragon (c) (w/Rey Mysterio) v. Eddie Guerrero (w/Chavo and Lita)
Los Guerreros are out first and they secure Lita to the ringpost with handcuffs. Dragon is out next, with Mysterio.
However, before the match begins, Mysterio and Chavo are sent to the back! It will be Dragon v. Eddie G. with no help in this one.
I'm going to keep this SUPER short.
Dragon has the match wrapped up with an Asai Moonsault...but no one is home!
Eddie capitalizes with a 5-star frog splash for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have written this feud pretty well and I sure as hell am not going to let it end, so stay tuned. You can bet this was a good match with plenty of crazy spots....but this is far from over.
Eddie G. leaves with the Cruiserweight Title AND Lita's services!
Winner: Eddie Guerrero

Backstage:
Ed Moorhouse is in his dressing room getting ready.
??: You always did look hot in a referee jersey.
01: (Looks up and smiles) Yeah, well....I am the Big Daddy......BROTHER!!!
(The camera pulls out to reveal TONY SADOWSKI standing with Ed. SUPER HUGE POP!!!)
01: What are you doing here? Wait---last time I had a Pay Per View, it ended with Hogan and Lesnar going home with you...
02: Don't worry my brother...I am here to support you. I know that your job is on the line here. But just be advised....There is a higher power pulling for you...no matter what happens.
01: Thanks, Big Shot. But I think I can handle this.
02: Ed, you have been aligned with Triple H for some time now. I know you trust him. Just....you are in a sense going face to face with a McMahon tonight.
01: You're forgetting who I am on Aggression, brother. Besides...a McMahon? Please. You brought one in to work with you. You know what I told you in that statement I released.
02: Yes.....and brother.......take your own advice. Good luck tonight.

Stephanie McMahon is in her office. There is a knock on the door.
SM: Come in.
(A look of shock crosses her face.)
??: Hello, Stephanie.
SM: Dad---
VM: I just wanted to stop by to say that if you needed any help with...you know....
SM: Dad, I can handle this on my own.
VM: Okay Stephanie. I have no doubts you can handle this. The Icons are ruthless sons of bitches and I wouldn't-----
SM: Dad---I can handle this.
VM: Well....Good luck, Steph.
=====================
World Heavyweight Championship/Losing GM leaves Aggression:
Triple H (c) v. Stone Cold Steve Austin w/ Ed Moorhouse as Special Referee
GLASS BREAKS!
The challenger, Stone Cold Steve Austin is out first.
IT'S TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!
Triple H comes to the ring, World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. He poses on the ring apron, spits, growls and enters the ring....
ICON THEME!
Ed Moorhouse, dressed in referee garb, is next. He takes the belt from HHH and holds it up high. Austin sneers at him and Ed instructs the two men. Clean fight. He's calling it right down the middle.
The two men stare at each other. The bell rings. 01 looks intently at the two wrestlers. The crowd is buzzing...
They lock up. HHH takes control and backs Austin into a corner. WHOOO! BIG chop to start...then Austin grabs H and tosses him into the corner! WHOOO!
They do this three times each before Austin, in the corner, kicks H away and smiles. The crowd cheers and H and Austin stare at each other again.
Another lock up. H gets Austin into a headlock and wrenches on his neck. HHH is playing his game early own and preventing Austin from brawling. You don't want Austin to start stomping his mudhole. He'll gain momentum and it will be over.
HHH does a good job of keeping it on his terms. He pounds on Austin and then whips him into the ropes then hits a facecrusher!
H picks Austin up and they continue their fight, H weakening Austin and continuing to outmaneuver him.
About 15 minutes into the match...
Austin turns the tables. He catches H off the ropes and H goes hard to the ground. Austin jumps on top of him...smashing him in the cut forehead of his with that club fist. Austin gets up and whips H into the corner...H is busted open. Austin stands on the ropes in the corner over H and 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10! Ten big punches to HHH's skull and H falls flat on his face. Austin is making the Game play his game now.
This goes on for a while, with Austin in charge.
HHH's turn now. He hits a big move on Austin then takes a minute to catch his breath in the corner...But Triple H is...unhooking the turnbuckle and exposing the steel post!
Ed Moorhouse has his back BLATANTLY turned to HHH so he does not see. HHH grabs Austin and takes him to all four corners, smashing his head onto each turnbuckle and then finally the exposed one. Austin's head hits the steel not once, not twice...but Three Times!
Austin is cut now. Triple H is manhandling Austin at this point.
At about the 25-minute mark, Stephanie McMahon, seeing her job in jeopardy, comes down to the ring.
Ed Moorhouse sees her and immediately preoccupies himself with her. He is trying to get he to leave ringside.
Austin beginning to show some signs of life, but his offense is reversed and HHH goes for the PEDIGREE!!! AND HE HITS IT!
H covers...but Ed is still trying to get Stephanie to leave!
He turns a bit too late....1......2.......KICK OUT!
H is furious and the two have words. H has some words for Stephanie too and from behind, Austin rolls up H.
Slowest count ever..............1...............1 1/2...........KICK OUT!
Now Austin is furious and he has some words with Ed and they really get into it.
Stephanie has made her way closer to the ring and Ed takes notice.
Austin and HHH go at it. Triple H again reverses Austin...who kicks H in the gut...but H won't go down and back body drops Austin hard onto the mat.
Ed is still preoccupied with Steph.
01: STEPHANIE! GET OUT OF HERE! GET TO THE BACK! I'LL HAVE SECURITY KICK YOU OUT!
HHH, trying to get his attention, pushes Ed in the back. Not knowing who it was...Ed turns....and SLAPS TRIPLE H IN THE FACE!
H turns the other cheek and looks furious. From behind...Austin has gotten up and shoves HHH into Ed and Ed falls back into the exposed steel ring post and goes down hard!
On the outside, Steph has a look of shock on her face!
H looks down at Ed and then turns....STUNNER! STUNNER!!!!!!
MY GOD A STUNNER! Austin covers!!!! BUT ED IS IN THE CORNER...BARELY MOVING...He crawls to the center of the ring....1.....2.....HHH KICKS OUT!
AUSTIN IS FURIOUS! He gets H up, kicks him in the gut TWICE...STUNNER!!!!!!!
Austin covers again.
Ed...slowly......barely....lifts his arm...
ONE...
TWO....
THREE!!!!!!!
GLASS SHATTERS!
STEPHANIE MCMAHON'S CHIN IS ON THE GROUND...THEN SHE STARTS TO SMILE!
WHAT KIND OF MATCH WAS THAT?!?!?!?!?!
ED MOORHOUSE MUST STEP DOWN AS CO-GM OF AGGRESSION!
STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN IS THE NEW CHAMPION!!!!!!!
STEPHANIE MCMAHON....IS NOW IN FULL CONTROL OF AGGRESSION!!!!!
MY GOD!!!!
Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin
