LPW Body Count

LPW Body Count will be a professional e-wrestling pay-per-view produced by Lords of Pain Wrestling (LPW), presented by its Insanity brand. The event is scheduled to take place after the 14.5 cycle during the summer of 2009.

The main event will feature the return of the Death Cube Match, in which X will defend the LPW World Heavyweight Championship against five competitors to be determined. To get in the match, all Insanity superstars will need to build a Body Count. The more opponents put down in a match, the more Body Count points will be rewarded to the victor. The top five e-wrestlers with the highest Body Count will be entered into the Death Cube match.

Background
At the conclusion of the Inferno pay-per-view, Take No Prisoners, Krimson Mask defeated Drew Michaels by disqualification. After the match, Krimson Mask held Michaels in the ring when The Boss made his first public appearance, revealing himself to be D. Hammond Samuels. Samuels announced that the reason he had sanctioned the Winner Takes All tournament was so the winner (Wevv Mang) would run the daily operations of LPW while he leveraged a buyout of LPW through his media conglomerate, Public Enemy Multimedia, LLC. With Michaels allowing Ash Strife into the LPW International Heavyweight Championship Fatal Four-way match at Honor Roll, full knowing Strife's mental condition with his Crazy Ash Killa (CAK) alter-ego and the bad blood between his brother Eric Scorpio, Samuels used that decision to orchestrate the blame on Michaels. After Scorpio’s death at the hands of CAK, LPW’s stock took a nosedive. With the stock at an all-time low, Samuels was able to swoop in and buyout LPW at a fraction of the original bargaining price.

At the following Insanity LIVE from Sydney telecast, the two General Managers formed an alliance, with D. Hammond Samuels teaming with Little Red's Krimson Mask to end the 22-month Tag Team Championship reign of the MWA's Tromboner Man and RaTo. The hope was to split the mega-popular team so that they could branch out as singles stars and earn more profit for Samuels and LPW. In the match, Krimson Mask and Samuels proved victorious, becoming the second LPW Undisputed World Tag Team Champions.

Also, Little Red entered every Insanity superstar into a brand-wide competition called Body Count. The premise of the competition was for the top five wrestlers who could tally the highest Body Count (beating the most opponents) by the end of the cycle would face X for the LPW World Heavyweight Championship in the second-ever DeathCube Match.

The 8 Rules of Body Count

 * 1 – The first rule of Body Count is you do not talk about Body Count.
 * 2 – You need to build your Body Count.
 * 3 – The more guys you put down in a match, the more Body Count points you’ll be rewarded with. For instance, if you put down three other guys in a Fatal Four-Way match, you receive a +3 to your Body Count. If you beat two other guys in a Tag Team match, you receive a +2, etc.
 * 4 – Issue challenges to claim your matches. The first round will consist of all Tag Team matches. After the first show, everyone will be able to view the card lineup which will consist of singles matches, Triple Threats, Fatal Four-Ways, etc. YOU will be allowed to issue open challenges and claim what match type you want to be in. The following two cards will be given with open matches, and it’s up to YOU to fill in your name as to what match you want to partake in. This will create a certain degree of strategy as to who you want to face, and how many Body Count points you think it’ll take to earn your spot.
 * 5 – Backstage Brawls will play as extra credit. You may partake in no more than two challenges (only singles matches), and may gain a maximum of an extra +1 Body Count. Backstage Brawl results will take place during backstage Insanity segments.
 * 6 – You can gamble Body Count points in a match against another. If you both have +3 Body Count and need more points, put it all on the line against someone else with a +3 Body Count. If you're a Transatlantic, Tag Team, or Hardcore Champion, feel free to gamble a title shot against an opponent for more Body Count points. No one is safe unless you keep winning, but a loss will not necessarily knock you out.
 * 7 – If this is your first night at Insanity, you have to fight.
 * 8 – The top five wrestlers with the highest Body Count will be rewarded with a LPW World Heavyweight Championship match inside the DeathCube.
