We get the highlights of the old IHLW, circa October 2000: Tzuki getting the snot beat out of him by all the other luchadores, Psicosis competiting in the J-Cup, 911 chokeslamming alot of people, the various announcers IHLW went through who were all taken out by various incidents, neonazi Wall vs street fighter Zandig, Meng fueding with Lex Luger, the formation of Extreme Sin, Funkin' Rotten taking the tag titles, Razor Ramierz, Skinner...it all goes faster and faster until...

Lex Luger suddenly awakes in hotel bed. He's in a cold sweat and looks around nervously. Sting wakes up in the other bed in the room.
Sting: Bad dream Lex?
Luger: Yeah, horrible horrible nightmare. I dreamed I left for WWF for more money, they made me look like an idiot, I came back to WCW, Hogan came to WCW, horrible booking, you hung out in the rafters, WCW was in horrible shape, I got released and ended up in this crazy indy fueding with Meng. It was all so...real...
Sting: Yes no yes no yes no.
Luger: NO!!!
Sting leans out of the shadows to reveal he's actually Ed Leslie in Sting facepaint. Luger freaks and stumbles out of bed, hurridly undoes the locks on the hotel room, and opens the door...to find himself face to face with 911 who grabs him by the throat and chokeslams him through the bed. Leslie laughs like a maniac as the IHLW logo appears on the screen.

We go the old WCW {Pro} studio at Universal Studios, Florida. Commisioner Liller is standing by in the ring with a mic.
Liller: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Insane Hardcore Lucha Wrestling!!! There have been several roster changes and two of our four titles our vacant. The IHLW Championship, formerly
held by Lex Luger, will be decieded tonight in a 10-man battle royale. 911 still holds the Hardcore Title, although he will vacate it if he wins the battle royal tonight. The tag titles are also now vacant and will awarded to the winners of an 8-team tournement that starts tonight. Psicosis still has the Cruiserweight Title.

Commisioner Liller opens the show. He talks about XCWF and the very controversial scaffold match that nearly ended the careers of Chris Daniels and Devon "Crowbar" Storm, calling the match "f***ing stupid.". He talks about how Tajiri, Albert, Marvin, Lynn, and Sabu have all inked big deals but aren't getting abused except for fans chanting "sell out". Silverspoon just can't deal with the fact that he's running not only a dinky indy, but a dinky CANADIAN indy. Liller publicly offers EDGE to work out a talent exchange deal. Why EDGE? Cause WWF and WCW both suck while EDGE rules. He'd like to have a philosophical discussion with the Warrior too.

XCWF was another TNM-SF indy, run by Silverpoon. The details of the inter-indy feud here are lost to history. EDGE was a new minor wrestling federation filling the void left by the demise of ECW.
