Hardcore Wars

Hardcore Wars refers to a period in the IFW between 7th July 2005 and 24th May 2009 where a number of wrestlers got heavily involved a period of Hardcore oneupmanship.

Beginning
There is some doubt as to the "best" date to pin-point as the beginning of the Hardcore Wars, as it got off to a slow start. However, it has been set for the World Heavyweight Championship Match at Summer Heat '05 between Sado Masochist and Damien Death because of it's sheer brutality. This Hell in a Cell Match also attracted Devastation ringside to applaud when it was over.

End of an Era
On 24th May at Apocalypse 2009 the tag team of Devastation reformed after a period of fighting, a lot of it to do with the Hardcore Wars themselves. This caused Damien Death, Sado Masochist and Extreme Warfare to form a pact in order to combat this move. The sixth individual involved in the main event at the time, Ronnie Whiplash, became isolated, cut his losses and left the ring. The event suddenly ended at that point with the three "factions" staring each other down.
