Main Event
RD: Who knows Love? These two have absolute hatred for each other! C4 thinks Joe's holding him back, Joe's life has been made a living hell by C4, who really knows if this will end it.
DL: Well at any rate they have an entire hour to beat on each other so it may very well come to that. Here's a video package which shows everything that's happened in the months leading up to this one match.
A flash goes across the scene and we cut to the video, dramatic music begins playing and the video goes to..some short time before ICW In Your Face, C4 is in the middle of the ring delivering a promo, and wanting to fight Bob Rocket for the World title, just when Mick Hardy is about to let him have his match, Joe interrupts and says that C4 can't have the title on the line. Calon jumps up and pounds his feet on the mat in a hissy fit.
C4: WHAT!! ARE YOU DRUNK? Joe your one sorry piece of sh*t. Calon Cross is the man that puts the ass' in the seats and you know I deserve the damn shot. You either put the title on the line or forget it all together!
JC: Oh I see, so C4 wants to main event ICW No Remorse huh? He thinks since he's the "cock of the walk" he can automatically get a shot against Bob Rocket for the World title huh? I don't much like your attitude, assmonkey! I'll tell you this, you want to main event ICW No Remorse..... HOW ABOUT YOU MAIN EVENT AGAINST JOE COOL!!!!
The fans errupt as Joe and Calon stare each other down.
C4: Me? Versus Joe Cool? The Masterpiece? The Man without Fear? The Smooth Criminal? YOU GOT IT!
We break away from Joe and C4 starting each other down to go to ICW In Your Face, where C4 is fighting GI for the Hardcore title in a death match. GI nails the Codered off the ladder while C4 is slumped on the top turnbuckle, but it ends up to be a double pin and C4 is helped up by Dark Rider when the referee says 10 and GI loses. He then gives GI the Heatstroke...soon after Joe comes out and lays Dark Rider out with a chair shot and the Solitaire Unraveling. We cut to various clips: C4 attacking WWW superstars then Joe having him removed from the building, C4 acting cocky in the ring, Joe gives C4 the Solitaire Unraveling off the stage, followed by a voice clip from Joe Cool..
JC: We don't play by your rules C4, we play by mine. See we do that, because I'm the only one that can make the rules. You can't make the rules because you don't have the authority, and you just plain don't deserve the right to do it.
Clips: C4 winning the Hardcore title, being picked #1 for FNX, defeating Bob Rocket, DLM, and Pozen on FNX
C4: HEY JOE! Face the facts... Calon Cross is in every way shape and form one hundred percent perfect!
JC: C4, you don't even to deserve to have me grace you with my presence in the ring.
Clips: Joe startles a cocky C4 and lays him out once again with the Solitaire Unraveling. C4 assaults Joe backstage, lead pipe shots, and the Heatstroke on the concrete floor, shots of Joe beating up C4, including another shot of the Solitaire Unraveling off of the stage....Then, then we flash forward to July 31, 2003, at ICW No Remorse..the main event of the show is Joe Cool fighting C4 in a I Quit/I Respect You matchup...it shows shots of Both C4 and Joe Cool coming out mixed with commentary from Love and Daniels.
DL: And I think that says it all folks...this matchup has been a long time in the making...
RD: C4 has to say I Respect You, and Joe has to say I Quit!
DL: Which means it may be awhile before we get a winner. Joe has no quit in him, and C4 has no respect for anyone.
The next clip shows Joe steps inside of the ring and removes his overcoat and smiles. C4 glares at him from the corner and Joe flips him off to draw cheers from the crowd.
RD: Man Joe just blatantly flipped off C4..what a total lack of disrespect!
DL: C4 knows how it feels then!
The next clips together are shown from the match...The early part of the match with Joe and C4 battling it out before C4 gets the advantage and works on Joe's neck, Joe tries to fight back and manages to bust C4 open, but C4 goes to the neck again. Joe and C4 fight outside where Joe uses a kendo stick on him, then begins to work the knee. C4 regains the advantage after a lead pipe shot! Joe is busted open, and we cut to clips of C4 choking Joe with a chain, Joe comes off of the ropes with a shining wizard kick! C4 sets Joe up top and tries for a superplex but Joe jumps into the ring with a Sunset Bomb!!! Joe goes outside with a ring post figure 4!!! C4 escapes the Solitaire Unraveling with a HUGE neckbreaker!! C4 WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX ON THE CHAIR!! C4 climbs up for the Disasterpiece....but Joe kicks the ropes causing C4 to crotch himself..Joe grabs the chair and swings it upward into C4's head which makes him fall back down to the mat. JOE COOL GIVES SOLITAIRE UNRAVELING OFF THE LADDER TO THE TABLE BELOW!!! Joe hits the One Step Closer off the ladder! Joe grabs the kendo stick and slams it down on C4's knee and then locks on the Cool Crunch! He's got it locked in tight and if C4 wasn't fully awake before he is now! Joe wrenches the hold and pulls on the knee and as C4 is in visible pain he tells the ref to ask him.
DL: Here we go this could be it.
C4: I RESPECT...CALON F'N CROSS!!
Joe has a look of extreme anger and frustration on his face and he turns around and begins to just wildly punch C4 in the face. C4 reaches out with an effort to get him off and he grabs the kendo stick and pops Joe right in the skull! C4 nails him with a jumping DDT. C4 with a Tiger Suplex. C4 puts Joe in a butterfly lock, wrenching the neck, when Joe refuses to give up C4 shouts WRONG ANSWER and puts him back in the hold after a huge DDt...
C4: Joe...you know I'm going to snap your neck if you don't say I Quit!
DL: Man Joe is in trouble here..I know C4 means it!
RD: If Joe does say I Quit I don't think the fans would love him any less....
JC: Argh....I QUIT!!
DL: HE SAID IT!! JOE SAID I QUIT!
RD: I think C4 just made history!
We cut to right aftewards as the fans in Joe's hometown are giving him a standing ovation...and we go to WWW just a week later...A former ICW employee is in the ring and Joe fires him and tosses him out before getting on the mic and telling C4 that it's NOT OVER! We show clips of Joe and C4 promos, but then we are taken to clips of LOW..where Joe is given a vicious maneuver and it messes up his neck and he's taken to a hospital. We then hear that Joe was released and he makes his match with C4 an Ironman match!!!! Now, "How Can I Live", the PPV theme, kicks in along with various clips like before...
I am...so alike you, in so many ways...
Clip: Joe and C4 posing various times..each clip is of them being cocky..
I know I'm just a copy, that carries on the strain...

Clip: This time it's the final words of the song that echo, along with a shot of Joe bleeding, looking at C4 mouthing, "7 days...." as the video package concludes, leaving the fans in the arena cheering as it's time for the main event.......
DL: They will have an hour to fight, there will be NO overtime!
We go to Kelly as "Instigator" by D12 hits and C4 walks out to an enormous amount of boos, any other man wouldn't want to come out to this, but C4 simply does not care, he flips off the crowd and continues to the ring..
Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the MAIN EVENT! A 60 minute Iron man rules match! In this match whoever has the most victories over the other once the time limit expires will be the winner, if there is a tie, there will be a Sudden Death rules fall to ultimately decide who wins! Introducing first, from Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds....Crucial Conflict Calon Cross...C4!!!!!!!!
C4 raises his Hardcore title high into the air to even MORE boos from the sold-out crowd. "The Man Without Fear" by Drowning Pool and Rob Zombie plays next and Joe Cool recieves a STANDING OVATION from the crowd in Los Angeles..
Kelly: And the opponent...from East Rutherford, New Jersey, weighing in at two hundred and seventy pounds...JOE COOL!!!!!
Joe makes his way into the ring and with his overcoat slides into the rings, and jumps to the middle turnbuckle, clasping his hands together and then slowly raising his arms, his trademark pose. He climbs back down and this time he doesn't get the chance to remove his overcoat, because as he tries C4 runs and knocks Joe to the outside before the match even starts.
DL: What is that? C4 not even letting the bell ring he wants to hurt Joe now, and an attack from behind to boot!
RD: Actually Love, while very unfair, and I'm not condoning it, it's very smart...If C4 can wear Joe down before the bell, Joe's still got 60 minutes to fight C4!
C4 starts kicking Joe outside and Joe surprises C4 with a punch to the face, which C4 holds his still healing jaw in pain and surprise! Joe removes his overcoat and starts choking C4 with it!! After the referee pries Joe off of C4, C4 slides into the ring and is crawling towards the ropes as he tries to regain his air...Joe slides inside and motions for C4 to get up, the bell rings and now the match has officially started, which is acknowledged with a clock counting down from 60:00 appearing at the left side of the screen.
DL: Here we go! It's official now!
RD: Joe got the upper hand when C4's plan backfired now this could be C4's undoing!
C4 turns around and Joe EXPLODES with a clothesline, making C4 do a flip in the air before landing on his stomach/face and holding his jaw, the fans roar with approval that Joe is finally getting to tear into C4. He smirks and he picks up C4 and tosses him into the ropes, and as C4 comes back he is met with a huge back body drop.
DL: If you'll notice Rick, the last time these two started out brawling and then it went into a wrestling match...but now Joe isn't content with wrestling, he wants a fight.
RD: I think after all C4 has put Joe through it's all we could have expected from Joe. But it may not be wise to waste energy like that, Joe had better pace himself.
Joe picks C4 up who is now begging off, Joe just gives him a grin, as if to say, "you had this coming" before punching him right in the jaw with a left hand, then a right, then another right, forcing C4 into the corner with fists before whipping him to the other side, Joe runs at C4 who tries for a back elbow but Joe simply slides underneath to the outside, grabs the legs of C4 and drops him to the mat, before pulling him, groin first, into the ring post! C4 moans in pain and the crowd is going batshit right now.
DL: That can't be good for C4's er...family jewels.
RD: Joe is just toying with C4 right now! He's getting C4 back for everything C4 has done!
DL: And I don't think C4 can take it!
Joe goes back into the ring and C4 has picked himself up and Joe runs at him and whips him into the ropes, C4 comes back with a clothesline but Joe ducks it, and hooks C4 with a crucifix pin...1...2...C4 kicks out. C4 rolls off his neck and to his feet as Joe gets to his feet, runs at C4 but when C4 tries a back body drop Joe uses catlike agility to hop on C4's shoulders and get him in a victory roll! 1...2.....no C4 kicks out again.
RD: Quick pinfalls here by Joe...once again I gotta be the guy who says he shouldn't be wasting energy like this!
As both get to their feet, Joe catches C4 unexpectedly with a superkick! Joe doesn't cover, he instead waits as C4 is getting up and lands a shining wizard kick as well! 1...2....no! C4 kicks out yet again. Joe isn't frustrated, however, he calmly picks C4 up and nails him with a dragonscrew legwhip, and that means he's going to re-aggrivate the knee injury he created last month. He goes for a deathlock on that knee, but C4 boots him off and Joe hits the turnbuckle, headfirst and falls back down on his back.
DL: Ouch! That may have hurt Joe's neck, he crashed into it hard!
RD: Either way it has bought C4 some time to recover.
C4 gets back up and shakes the pain off of his leg, which he avoided having Joe hurt worse. Seeing Joe down, he quickly jumps to the ropes and springboards off with a moonsault..1..2...no Joe kicks out. C4 then breaks out a running Red Star Press, which also gets 2. C4, unlike Joe, seems frustrated he can't put Joe away for the first fall. He picks Joe up, and whips him into the ropes, before hotshotting him, throatfirst across the top rope, Joe falls back down on his back and neck gasping for air, and now holding his neck.
DL: And now it's started. C4 said he's going to end Joe's career, and that neck is the weak point.
RD: Yes and Joe hasn't had the oppurtunity to attack C4's leg yet.
As Joe tries to stand, C4 nails him with a Apoiera Spinning Kick, catching Joe right in the neck and he falls down like he's been shot. C4 wastes no time getting back to his feet and nailing Joe with a running swanton bomb...1...2...only 2. C4 pounds the mat and argues with the referee.
DL: You talk about wasting time and energy, C4's not exactly being smart here either.
RD: No he's not, he's got a large amount of time to do whatever he wins he shouldn't be worried about the first fall.
C4 picks Joe up and whips him to the turnbuckle, which Joe reverses and C4 hits it. Joe tries to whip C4 into the opposite turnbuckle but C4 reverses that and Joe hits it, falling down..C4 catches him with a school boy, and he's got his feet on the ropes! 1...2....3!!! C4 gains the first fall..at 5:50 with 55:10 left in the matchup.
DL: What the hell was that?! C4 had to use the damn ropes just to gain the first pinfall!
RD: It was smart at any rate, now he's one fall over Joe!
C4 tries to hit another school boy, but Joe pulls him into a small package, and he pulls the tights! 1..2....NO! C4 kicked out..the fans groan as they thought C4 would lose a fall by cheating like Joe did. Joe and C4 are back up, Joe catches C4 with a hiptoss as he runs at him, then as C4 stands back up Joe clotheslines him to the outside! Joe follows him out and as C4 runs Joe unleashes a drop toe hold into the steel steps! C4 holds his face as he falls back down..the referee has counted to about 4 by now, Joe rolls C4 inside and follows him back in.
DL: Smart move by Joe, he doesn't want to get counted out and lose another fall to C4.
RD: If I were Joe I would have left C4 out there to get counted out and even the score!
Joe picks up C4, whips him into the ropes again, Joe tries for a clothesline and C4 slides under his legs..Joe turns around and C4 jumps onto his shoulders for a hurricanrana, but Joe counters with a sitout powerbomb!!! 1...2....NO! The fans thought that was it. Joe gets up and starts slapping his knee, signaling to the fans he's going to work on C4's knee. C4 stands up and Joe tries a sweep, but C4 jumps up to avoid it, and as he comes back down nails Joe with an enziguri kick to the back of the head!! Joe falls down and C4 smirks at the booing crowd.
DL: Wow, what a unique counter from C4!
C4 gives Joe a snapmare, then dropkicks his neck and Joe rolls over in pain. C4 pulls Joe to his feet and slams him down with a snap suplex, before going up top. C4 calls for the Disasterpiece, but Joe gets to his feet, C4 instead hits the DEATH FROM ABOVE..driving Joe's head and neck back to the mat! C4 pins Joe cocky, one foot over his chest with his arms raised..1....2.....NO!! Joe kicked out!! C4 can't believe it! He kicks C4 in the ribs to roll him over and he drops a leg across the back of Joe's neck. Joe kicks his legs as he holds his neck, and C4 locks him in an Indian Deathlock with a bridge....Joe acts like he's going to tap out but instead he starts inching his way towards the ropes...C4 wrenches on the hold trying to make him tap..but Joe reaches the ropes! The referee makes C4 get off and he wastes no time pulling Joe to the center of the ring and locking him back in the hold.
RD: That's smart strategy by C4, working on the neck, not letting up and giving Joe an oppurtunity to recover.
Joe grasps at his face tearing C4's hands off of him, and he fights out to his feet, nailing C4 with lefts and rights, C4 pokes him in the eye and pulls him into a powerbomb, dropping him back and neck first onto his knee. C4 grabs Joe and locks him in the crippler crossface!! Joe once again is trying to get out of it, but he manages to drap his foot across the bottom rope, which the referee sees and forces C4 to let go. C4 gets up angry and he tries to an elbow drop but Joe rolls out of the way! C4 gets to his feet the same time Joe does, Joe gets kicked in the gut, C4 tries for a DDT but Joe counters with a Northern Lights Suplex! 1....2.....NO! Now Joe seems frustrated, he picks up C4 and whips him into the ropes, as C4 comes back Joe dropkicks his knee! C4's knee buckles and he drops down to his stronger knee holding his weaker one.
DL: Joe's finally begun to work on that knee of C4.
RD: The tables have turned, it went from C4 trying to hurt Joe's neck to Joe trying to hurt C4's knee.
Joe drops him down with another dropkick, this time to the face, and he puts C4 in the Cool Crunch!! They're in the middle of the ring! Joe hammers on C4's knee with fist shots as he pulls back, the fans are on their feet as C4 pushes himself up with his hands and crawls towards the ropes, C4 does reach them, but Joe pulls C4 back into the center of the ring, C4 escapes with a rollup, Joe gets out easily, kicks C4 and nails him with the Soliatire Unraveling!!! Joe pins C4..1....2......3!!!! They are now tied 1-1 at 15:19 with 45:41 remaining.
DL: We thought C4 might tap out, but as it turns out he didn't, but Joe still managed to land the Solitaire Unraveling to gain another pinfall.
RD: Yeah, plus C4's knee is still bad off.
Joe wisely grabs C4's legs with a bridge pin, hooking the weak knee..1...2....NO! C4 uses his arms to push Joe off of him. Joe decides to pull C4 back into the Cool Crunch, but C4 pushes up with his arms and rolls through with a bridged pin of his own..1...2...no Joe kicks out. C4 stands up and bounces off the ropes, limping towards Joe as he runs but Joe catches him with the "Main Event" Spinebuster! Cover..1...2....NO C4 kicks out again. Joe with the advantage once again, picks C4 up into the "Main Event" Sleeper...but instead of wearing him down with the sleeper he picks him up and flips him behind him into the Osaka Street Cutter...Joe with the cover..1......2.....C4 grabs the bottom rope.
DL: Great prescene of mind there by C4, we're not even halfway into this matchup and both men have begun to wear each other down.
RD: We're almost there though, we've reached 20 minutes already.
Joe picks up C4 and tries to toss him into the corner, C4 reverses and Joe hits it hard..C4 walks over and starts punching away on Joe, but Joe wisely kicks the knee and then uses the pain to toss C4 into the corner and break out the knife-edge chops. He sets C4 up top, possibly for a superplex, but C4 pokes the eyes and slams Joe's head into the turnbuckle...he places Joe in powerbomb position and somehow manages to land the ICONOCLASM OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!!!!!!!!
DL: OH MY GOD! C4 HIT THE ICONOCLASM OFF THE TOP!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
RD: Well I think he may have just killed Joe's neck, and every other part on his body.
C4 with the cover, and gets the acedemic pin..1..2....3. So now it's 2-1 at 26:13...so we have 34:47 left to go. C4 pulls Joe towards the turnbuckles, climbs up top and taunts the crowd, while Joe appears to be not moving much after that horrendous manuever. C4 leaps off for the Disasterpiece..and JOE MOVES OUT OF THE WAY!!! C4 lands on his face!
DL: Joe still has some life in him!! C4 took too long showboating and paid for it!
RD: I guess you could say that ended up in a disaster!!! Ok...bad joke...I'll shut up.
The referee begins to count as both men lay unconscious in the ring...1.....2......3......4.......5.......6........7......8.....9.....both men finally manage to rise to their feet. They trade punches back and forth, they lock up and Joe forces C4 into the corner, but the referee makes them break. They circle around the ring and Joe puts C4 in a headlock, brings him down with it, C4 kips out, giving Joe a judo arm throw over his shoulder and now he's holding Joe in a hammerlock, Joe tries for a back elbow, C4 ducks, grabs Joe and delivers a RELEASE TIGER SUPLEX!!!!
DL: OH MY GOD! Joe has been folded like an accordion!
Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
RD: If Joe wasn't dead before, he sure as hell is dead now..
C4 picks Joe up, who appears to be limp and laughs at the crowd, he gets Joe in position for another Tiger suplex!
DL: Oh my God...Don't do it!!!
RD: Even the referee is telling him not to, but he can't do anything!
C4 shoves the referee down and just smirks, but the has a look of disbelief when the ref DQ's him!!! C4 starts cursing as the ref tells him he'd better just back off. C4 nods his head in agreement before giving Joe another Tiger suplex, only this time a weaker one with a bridge..1....2.......3, and now it's 3-2, C4 is in the lead by 1 at 31:51..we have 29:09 left in the matchup. C4 laughs at the crowd and starts kicking at the limp body of Joe, and then he climbs up top and taunts the crowd who respond with boos, and then they start cheering! C4 thinks it is him, but he's oblivious to the fact that Joe is standing up in the ring, shaking out the cobwebs...and then he sees C4 on the second turnbuckle thinking the cheers are for him..C4 jumps down and turns around into Joe!!! C4 gets startled and jumps back to the turnbuckle, he climbs back up and jumps off with what may be a double axehandle but Joe grabs him as he comes down with a chin crusher!! C4 holds his chin and rolls to the outside as Joe starts holding his neck in pain.
DL: That wasn't a smart move by Joe as far as his neck goes, but it did buy him some time.
C4, pissed off that Joe won't stay down, grabs his Hardcore title and slides into the the ring with it, the referee sees it and stops him, then takes the belt and goes to take it back to the timekeeper, when C4 pulls a chain from his boot, but Joe is up and sees it he gives C4 a superkick that makes him drop the chain outside! C4 rolls out again in pain to get it and Joe uses the ropes to launch himself with a body press!!! Both are down outside the ring, after a few seconds Joe is back up and he grabs C4 and whips him, knee-first, into the steel steps! Joe rolls C4 inside and then takes the Hardcore title and tosses it down at ringside.
RD: Joe is almost daring C4 to use the weapon, I think Joe is trying to play mindgames now, maybe get C4 to get himself DQ'd so Joe can gain another fall.
Joe goes inside the ring as C4 tries to stand and Joe clips the knee, and C4 buckles forward and falls through the ropes to the outside yet again. Joe decides not to follow and he gets the crowd on their feet. C4 decides to use the belt after all, he slides it inside, then grabs a chair! The referee stops C4 yet again and takes the chair away, with the referee trying to remove the chair, C4 smirks and reaches down to grab the belt, but it's not there! He looks around and Joe greets him with a shot with the belt!!! He throws the belt outside as the referee turns back around..1....2......3!!! Joe gains a fall making it 3-3, at 39:21, we have 11:39 left to go.
DL: Not much time left here folks, Joe has to win another fall or this match will be a draw.
Joe picks up C4, and has him up for the Solitaire Unraveling!!! The fans go wild as Joe gets ready to drop him...no C4 manages to escape with a rollup! 1..2....NO! Joe kicks out and C4 is almost crazed. He and Joe are back up and we can tell C4's jaw is back to being busted open, not fully healed from his matchup last week. C4 ducks a clothesline from Joe and kicks him in the gut..Iconoclasm time...no Joe backdrops out of it, bounces off the ropes...SHINING WIZARD!! 1...2....NO!!! The crowd groans in disappointment that the shining wizard didn't get the job done. Joe points up top and shouts out "OSC!" meaning he's going for the One Step Closer! The crowd goes wild now as Joe drags C4 to the turnbuckle..Joe climbs up top but C4, playing dead, gets up there with him and tries for some sort of suplex, but Joe shoves him off! Instead of the OSC, Joe hits his own version of the DISASTERPIECE!!!! Joe with the cover...1......2........C4 HAS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!
RD: I thought Joe had the win there, but C4 had great presence of mind and got that foot on the ropes.
DL: Yes he did, and you can tell the fans thought it was over...as did Joe.
Joe gets back up top, and this time leaps off for the OSC, but C4 manages to crawl out of the way and Joe lands ribs first on the mat! C4 is on the apron now, he springboards in with a moonsault, but does not cover..he picks Joe up and readies him for the Iconoclasm...No wait instead picks him up...TOMMY HAWK!!!
RD: I'm pretty sure former VP Mick Hardy banned that move for a reason!
DL: As it turns out current VP Fiery Phoenix re-instated the move, saying Mick had no right banning it.
RD: At any rate it did the trick.
DL: That might have finished Joe off here, and with the small amount of time left secure C4's win.
C4 puts one foot on Joe with his arms raised in the air..1....2.....Joe not only kicks out, but pulls at the knee of C4 causing him to fall down and Joe locks him in the Cool Crunch! Joe lip is now bleeding heavily, and he's pulling on C4's knee, shouting TAP...TAP...and C4 looks like he may do so, but he knows what is on the line, he doesn't want to lose, so he struggles to reach the ropes, but unlike earlier, he's just too drained to power himself over there. Joe wrenches the knee, demanding that C4 tap out...Joe sits down on C4's back with inside of C4's knee still across his knee being wrenched down on to keep C4 from reaching the ropes...C4 is just centimeters away, the fans are actually booing him, Joe pulls him back to the center of the ring and the fans go wild!!
RD: The clock is now on 30 seconds! Joe has GOT to make C4 tap out to win the matchup!!
DL: No doubt about that one.
C4 struggles to escape and he tries for a rollup like before, but Joe manages to roll THROUGH that and keep the Cool Crunch still locked on to a HUGE POP! The time is ticking down from 10...C4 is desperately trying to hold on through the remaining time...and taps out right as the buzzer goes off signalling the end of the time limit!!!! The fans cheer loudly and the referee is unsure if there's a draw or if Joe gained the tiebreaker and won..
RD: What's going on Love?
DL: It appears as if there is some confusion here! Other referees and the VP Fiery Phoenix are out here discussing, and they go over to Kelly...
Kelly: Ladies and gentlemen, the officials and Vice President of ICW have informed me that Joe Cool managed to gain a submission win from C4...but it was AFTER the bell had expired, and therefore this match ends in a draw!!!!!!
The fans just turn on Kelly and the ICW referees, because they know that Joe should have won the matchup, because he made C4 tap out!!! "Joe Got Screwed" chants break out and C4 looks around pissed off at the fans he quickly nails Joe from behind and starts kicking him and he grabs his chair from earlier but Joe superkicks it into his face, knocking him outside!!! C4, bleeding from his cheek and now his head, grabs the Hardcore belt, makes "F U" motions at the crowd and starts walking backstage..pissed off he couldn't beat Joe.
RD: Well Love.....Joe was right about one thing going into this.
DL: What's that?
RD: He said C4 couldn't beat him this time, and C4 couldn't! C4 could not beat the Smooth Criminal in his own type of match!
Joe manages to regain his composure and he stands up in the middle of the ring...the fans are giving him possibly one of the loudest ovations ever! He waves at them and his music kicks in, causing them to cheer even more, and he heads to the back as the show goes off the air...
Iron Man Match
Joe Cool vs C4
DL: Ladies and gentlemen, this fued has swept ICW throughout the summer, and now that summer's over, hopefully Joe Cool and C4 can settle their differences and end this fued.
