LPW Take No Prisoners

Take No Prisoners was a professional e-wrestling pay-per-view produced by Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW) and presented by its Inferno brand. The event took place at the Workers' Arena in Beijing, China during the 13.5 cycle on March 26, 2009. The event marked LPW's first appeance in China.

The event was booked by Wevv Mang, who won the Winner Takes All tournament at Honor Roll and was awarded to head both Insanity and Inferno pay-per-views while LPW's phantom CEO and Inferno General Manager, The Boss, took care of other pending issues behind-the-scenes. Notable for being an international traveler, Mang moved the event to Beijing to increase LPW's global presence due to the decreasing value of the American economy.

In the main event, Inferno's locker-room leader Drew Michaels took on Insanity's Krimson Mask (with Little Red Riding Hood) in a cross-brand dream match. Krimson Mask won the match via disqualification after Michaels hit him with a steel chair, prompting Mask to unleash a vicious assault on Michaels. With Michaels bloodied and handcuffed, The Boss made his first in-ring appearance and revealed himself as Michaels' sworn enemy, D. Hammond Samuels. Samuels announced that he had bought Public Enemy Multimedia, LLC to finance his plans of an LPW takeover. After Michaels' indirect actions of causing Eric Scorpio's death and the media firestorm that followed afterwards, Samuels had the leverage to buyout the company.

The second main event saw Mass Chaos realize his life-long dream when he defeated White Falcon for the LPW International Heavyweight Championship. After the match, Falcon attacked Chaos to turn heel. In other notable matches, Al defeated Eddie B for the LPW Western States Heritage Championship, Styxx defeated NPD to earn a title shot at the LPW International Heavyweight Championship, and Ultramarcus (representing The Boss) defeated Wevv Mang in a Kiss My Ass match.

Background
The predominant storyline on the Inferno brand was the interactions between locker-room leader Drew Michaels and The Boss, an unknown man who was heuristically hired as LPW's CEO and Inferno General Manager by the Board of Directors. The Boss asked for Michaels' help him overcome the financial crisis that had stung the promotion, but Michaels appeared leery of Inferno's newest decision-maker.

Heading into Honor Roll, Michaels agreed to put up the LPW International Heavyweight Championship against Eric Scorpio and NPD, both of whom attacked Michaels at Inferno 13.1. The catch for both of them however, was that Michaels invoked a champion's clause to include Scorpio's estranged brother, Insanity's monstrous Ash Strife, making it a Fatal Four-Way Elimination match.

During the match, Strife's possessed Crazy Ash Killa alter-ego took control of him, resulting in him destroying his brother with several Strife Strikes and ending his career when he jumped from the top rope to the steel ringsteps with a third Strife Strike. Michaels piggy-backed CAK with a sleeper, trying to talk into his ear to bring Strife back. The risk paid off, as Strife returned, but moments later Michaels was ambushed by Insanity's Krimson Mask and Little Red, finishing him off with The End to result in his elimination. Down to two, NPD took advantage when Strife regained control of himself. Using the ropes for leverage, NPD pinned Strife to become the new LPW International Heavyweight Championship. The motives of Krimson Mask's attack on Michaels was unknown, leading to suspicions from Michaels. Also at Honor Roll, Wevv Mang won the Winner Takes All tournament, giving him full booking control for Take No Prisoners and Insanity's Resurrection pay-per-view.

During a Strife in-ring promo during Insanity LIVE from Waikiki Beach, things turned for the worst when a national audience witnessed Strife (under control of the mentally unbalanced CAK) buried alive his brother from a pre-recorded message intended at Strife. The media firestorm that resulted drove LPW stock down, leading many to suspect that LPW was on its last legs. Hoping to regain instant viewership at Inferno 13.4, The Boss gave a title shot to the fan-voted 2008 LPW Wrestler of the Year, White Falcon, who proved victorious when he defeated NPD for the LPW International Heavyweight Championship.

With full booking control, Mang moved the event to Beijing, China with hopes to attract new viewership from a vastly expanding viewing market. Hoping to save LPW from financial doom, Mang booked White Falcon in his first title defense against fan favorite Mass Chaos. In addition, Mang booked Michaels to face Krimson Mask in the main event.

Event
In the main event, Inferno's locker-room leader Drew Michaels took on Insanity's Krimson Mask (alongside his companion and Insanity General Manager Little Red Riding Hood) in a cross-brand dream match. Krimson Mask won the match via disqualification after Michaels hit him with a steel chair, prompting Mask to unleash a vicious assault on Michaels. With Michaels bloodied and handcuffed, The Boss made his first in-ring appearance and revealed himself as Michaels' sworn enemy, D. Hammond Samuels. Samuels announced that he had bought Public Enemy Multimedia, LLC to finance his plans of buying LPW, but the media conglomerate's capital was not sufficient for a takeover. Michaels' indirect actions of allowing the schizophrenic Ash Strife to wrestle his hated brother Eric Scorpio at Honor Roll resulted in Scorpio's death created the media firestorm that drove LPW's value down. From there, Samuels had enough leverage to buyout the company.
