LPW Inferno 11.3: Pick Your Poison was a professional e-wrestling supershow that was produced by Lords of Pain Wrestling and presented by its Inferno brand (the 11.3 represents Inferno's way of chronicling its shows, this event being Inferno's eleventh cycle in its third show since the original LPW brand split). The event took place on December 12, 2007 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
The show was headlined by two Pick Your Poison matches which served to set-up the main event stipulation in the heated rivalry between D. Hammond Samuels and Drew Michaels for the LPW International Heavyweight Championship at Inferno's upcoming Dead Reckoning pay-per-view. Michaels picked Pen to face Samuels, while Samuels picked X to fight Michaels.
Background[]
After D. Hammond Samuels successfully retained the LPW International Heavyweight Championship against fan favorite Drew Michaels in a 60-Minute Iron Man Match at Sacrament, Michaels could not stand to see his arch-enemy walk away scott-free. During the opening of the Inferno 11.2 broadcast, Michaels got into a fist fight with Samuels in front of general manager Spectre. Spectre ordered that the two would face each other at Dead Reckoning with stipulations to be added.
During Inferno 11.2, Spectre announced that Ham and Michaels would pick each other's opponents for Inferno 11.3: Pick Your Poison. The man who would win in the shortest time (if he wins at all), will earn the right to choose the stipulations for the main event title match at Dead Reckoning. If only one wins, that winner will choose the stipulations. In the off chance that both men lose, the man who survives the longest will choose the stipulation.
After Ham successfully defended the International Heavyweight Championship against 2006 Owner's Cup winner, Wevv Mang, Michaels announced that Ham would be facing Pen. Pen was the last man who defeated Ham, not to mention beating him in back-to-back matches for the World Heavyweight Championship at Schizos Wild and then the Martinez Cup at Altered Reality III. During a LPW.com exclusive, Ham picked X as Michaels' opponent, who had beaten Michaels in a heated hardcore match during At All Costs earlier in the year.
