ICW-USWA December Decimation

[tystates]

Last month of the year for ICW. The final show of 2117 is Starrcade!!!
I guess when I hit year #3 then I will create a thread for each of my feds and keep everything there since I haven't been doing that.

ICW #49
Saint Petersburg, Russia
December 4, 2117

The show opened with a short interview from the Million $ Man Ted DiBiase. He talked about there being some changes coming soon and everyone better be prepared. He avoided the subject of his team members not being around much lately.

Yukon Eric and Buddy Rose kicked off the in-ring events with a solid contest. Rose just couldn't keep the advantage against the power of Eric and after the Kodiak Krunch twice Eric got the pin.

Don Leo Jonathan and the Masked Superstar matched up in a battle of big men. DLJ stayed on top and won with the Mormon Swing.

Frank Gotch was heard talking about always being hated by the fans and not understanding why, as well as not getting any title shots the entire year. Johnny Valentine broke up the discussion and the two hit the ring. Valentine avoided getting caught on the mat and put away Gotch with the Skullcrusher.

Out of nowhere Richard Hutton stromed into the ring and attacked Gotch. No one knows why and an explanation wasn't given, although Gotch had beaten Hutton two weeks ago in Sweden.

With Danny Hodge now in the ring, Harley Race and Bruiser Brody came out with Bobby Heenan for their match. Hutton was a man possessed and tore into Race. Hodge took the fall and the underdogs left with a huge win. Heenan and Race lit into Brody and Ravishing Rick Rude jumped Brody from behind and a triple beatdown ensued.

Don Muraco was interviewed and had a lot of negative things to say about the Islander Jimmy Snuka. Muraco & Bob Orton Jr. waited for Snuka and Buddy Rogers in the ring. It was a great tag match with Muraco kicking out of the superfly leap. Muraco took the fall on Rogers with the Asiatic Spike.

Jim Londos, George Hackenschmidt and Ed Lewis defended the World Six-Man belts against Iron Sheik, Sabu and the Sheik. The champs controlled things early with Lewis and Hack. Sheik and Sabu worked over Londos and Sabu was disqualified for using the chair in the ring.

The Vachons put their I-C tag titles on the line against Ox Baker and Killer Kowalski. The challengers asserted their will for most of the match which was spent on the floor. It was the Vachons getting DQed and leaving with the titles.

Next week in Rostov, Russia:
Don Leo Jonathan vs. Ted DiBiase
Jim Londos vs. Sabu
Bruiser Brody vs. Steve Corino

I'll keep both feds here for Dec. like I've been doing recently.

USWA Glory #49
Washington, D.C.
December 5, 2117

World champion Nick Bockwinkel was on hand for an interview in which he ran down the last challenger he had from the USWA in Bobo Brazil three weeks ago in Baltimore. "You know looking back at it now, how did he get a title shot? I beat him so easily. This company better get some better challengers if you want to see me back here with the world title belt."

Bobo Brazil came out and the two stood nose to nose when the Terrible Turk pearl-harbored Brazil and laid him out with a steel chair, yelling something about that was from the Sheik!

Jim Cornette introduced "Loverboy" Dennis Condrey as the newest member of the Midnight Express before a six-man tag match against the Missing Link, SD Jone and Cousin Luke. The underdogs surprisingly took over this match and worked over Bobby Eaton. After he finally got a tag Condrey was able to swing things back in their favor and showed he work well with his new partners and put away Jones for the win.

King Kong Bundy found himself the victim of a very short match. The Crusher stunned the big man and put him down with the Bolo Punch for a three-count.

The Destroyer & Dan Severn saw their road to the world tag team titles take a detour. Koko B. Ware & Gorgeous George showed great teamwork and scored a major win after the Ghostbuster on Destroyer.

Larry Zbyszko started off very well against Rikidozan. The Japanese legend fought back and chopped his way to a victory.

The Sandman continues to show he is among the elite in the USWA and wants a rematch for the U.S. title. Giant Baba had the match going in his favor but Sandman never stops coming at you and a DDT followed by the Singapore Cane knocked down the Giant Baba.

In a Tables Match the Turk and Bobo Brazil wasted no time. The Turk had the fans livid as he battered their beloved Bobo. Brazil was a bloody mess after nearly being choked out and the repeated battered into a table. Brazil made a short comeback but the Turk put Bobo out. Bockwinkel then ran in with a man later identified as Ray Stevens to get some more shots in on Bobo.

Mil Mascaras put his U.S. title on the line against Diamond Dallas Page after Page's tremendous showing at the Survivor Series. Mascaras took his time and kept Page off balance with high-flying moves. Page had no counter and Mascaras came off the top for the pin.

The Road Warriors defended the world tag team titles against the Killer Bees after they won the tag team survivor match. The Bees were no challenge at all in this one as Animal power slammed Brunzell for the pin.

ICW Impact #50
Rostov, Russia
December 11, 2117

An interview with George Hackenschmidt opened the show with former world and I-C champion saying he is looking to get the gold back. He also doesn't want to be held back by his being part of the world six-man tag team champions.

Don Leo Jonathan took over from the start against Ted DiBiase. The big man kept DiBiase down but couldn't put him away. DiBiase fought back time after time until finally downing Jonathan with repeated use of the sleeper.

Jim Londos jumped Sabu before the match and kept him from going for the high risk moves. Londos won with the airplane spin.

Bruiser Brody stormed to the ring and destroyed Steve Corino in very short time. He stomped back to the dressing room in search of Heenan Family members. Bobby Heenan was seeing hiding somewhere in the back and he would not come to the ring with any of his men.

Butcher Vachon attacked Killer Kowalski before the bell and almost won with the Hangman. Kowalski rallied and won with the Claw.

Mad Dog Vachon also hit Ox Baker before the match. It was back and forth with a lot of time spent on the floor. Vachon took the Heart Punch three times before finally hearing the three-count and needed to be helped from the ring.

Rick Rude crushed Danny Hodge from the outset. Hodge just kept getting up until the Rude Awakening ended things.

Dick Hutton came right at Harley Race and had the former 3-time world champion in trouble. Race managed to take control and got the win just before Brody battered him all the way to the back.

The Iron Sheik defended the I-C title against Johnny Valentine. These two pulled out all the stops and went back forth in and out of the ring. Several times the title almost changed hands but a double DQ was rendered for the second time in three weeks.

ICW Impact #51
Volgograd, Russia
December 18, 2117

Ted DiBiase was seen backstage but he wasn't wearing his usual Million $ Man attire and he went in the locker room without saying anything.

Ed Lewis & Jim Londos vs. Steve Corino & Danny Doring

A good back and forth match opened Impact. Doring took a beating to start but Corino's dirty tactics turned the tide in their favor. It took longer than expected but it was Lewis' headlock that got his team the win.

An excellent bout between two big men followd. This one was a slugfest as both competitors pounded away on the other. The match nearly reached the time limit but the Masked Superstar came out on top.

George Hackenschmidt vs. Billy Red Lyons

Lyons surprised Hackenschmidt with a fast start and had the stronger man down and in trouble. Finally Hackenschmidt got a hold with the Bear Hug and it was all over. He wouldn't let go and Lyons writhed in pain and was left laying in the ring with the fans starting to boo with questionable looks on their faces.

Johnny Valentine, Jimmy Snuka, Buddy Rogers vs. Iron Sheik, Don Muraco, Bob Orton Jr.

This was a fairly short match as things got out of hand in a hurry. The heels worked over Snuka and Rogers for awhile until Valentine rushed in to make the save. Johnny V. got the tag and scored the pin with the Skullcrusher.

It was then that two men viciously attacked the Iron Sheik. One was Nikolai Volkoff, the other was Ivan Koloff!!! Volkoff has been out of wrestling for six months since he and the Iron Sheik parted ways.

The excitement was over as two more men stormed into the ring. It was Ted DiBiase and Steve "Dr. Death" Williams!!! After the ring was cleared the former Million $ Man said he wasn't focused on money anymore it was about wrestling and doing what was right.

Bruiser Brody, Dick Hutton, Ox Baker, Killer Kowalski vs. Vachons, Harley Race, Rick Rude
