Urge" by Rob Zombie played in background of a video montage highlighting
the events leading up to the main matches here tonight at NGW Blazing
Glory. Tonight; 'The Human Highlight
Reel' Sabu has been having his problems with Raven's Flock, specifically Chris
Kanyon and tonight, Sabu goes one-on-one with Kanyon. 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett defends the NGW
United States Heavyweight Title against 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz. Taz says Jarrett will be 'Just Anotha Victim'
in his Path Of Rage while Jarrett says simply that he's better then Taz and he's
going to stop the Path Of Rage, tonight!
The Acolytes made waves when they jumped to NGW and laid out The Sandman
and Too Cold Scorpio. Sandman and
Scorpio put their World Tag Team Titles on the line against The Acolytes. Our Main Event was supposed to be a Steel
Cage Tag Team Match with the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner
and William Regal against 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and 'The Whole F'N Show'
Rob Van Dam. But Steiner and Regal
viciously assaulted Van Dam, and RVD is not cleared to wrestle. Stone Cold said he doesn't need a tag team
partner but Shawn Michaels stated that if Austin doesn't find a partner then
HBK give him one. All that and more
tonight at NGW BLAZING GLORY! We entered The
Myriad as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcomed us to Blazing Glory and thanked
everyone for ordering the event. They
speculated on Stone Cold's partner then sent us to the ring for action... Opening Match: The Flock v. Evan Karagias & Jamie
Knoble v. Evolution. We kicked things
off with a special bonus match added to the card, a three way tag team
elimination match. "Terrible Lie
(Live)" by Nine Inch Nails blared over the speakers as The Flock's
'Dangerous' Devon Storm and 'Sick' Scott Vick headed out to the ring. "You Know Its Hard" by Crystal
Method sounded over the speakers as Evan Karagias & Jamie Knoble made their
way out to the ring. Then,
"Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys blasted over the speakers as
Evolution, Jason Jett and Nova, headed out to the ring. Three good young tag teams looking to rise
the rankings fought it out in a hot opening match. The first elimination would come when Knoble
send Jett into the ropes but Jett came off with a handspring elbow. Jett hit a standing moonsault for the one ...
two .. Karagias breaks the pin. Nova

with the NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels... COACH:
"Commissioner, what's the word on whether or not 'Stone Cold' Steve
Austin has found a tag team partner for tonight?" MICHAELS: "In
true, Stone Cold fashion, Austin hasn't even asked or looked for a tag team
partner. There's no way as Commissioner
I can let Steve Austin walk into that cage on his own so I've gone out and
gotten him a tag team partner..." COACH:
"Who?" MICHAELS:
"Now what fun would that be?
You'll find out soon enough." Match #2: Diamond Dallas Page v. Al Snow. "Helping Hand" by StainD sounded
over the speakers as 'DDP' Diamond Dallas Page headed out to the ring flashing
his big fake grin. Then,
"Breathe" by Prodigy blared over the speakers as Al Snow made his way
out to the ring. DDP pinned Snow in a
six man tag a few weeks ago on Ring Wars then insulted in his backhanded way
leading to Snow making the challenge for this match. Page and Snow locked up to a stale mate. They locked up again and DDP elbowed Snow in
the side of the head. Page hit a few
jabs then an armwringer on Snow. Page
stomped on Snow then sent him into the ropes, Snow ducked a clothesline but

up the win showing that he can hit the Diamond Cutter at anytime! WINNER: Diamond Dallas Page in 8:03. Rating: * 1/2 Match #3: Chris Kanyon v. Sabu. "Immune" by Godsmack blared over
the speakers as Chris Kanyon emerged from the entrance and walked out to the
ring. Kanyon has become Raven's
right-hand man of sorts in The Flock and Raven has brought out a darker side of
the goofy, Kanyon. Then, "Little
Crazy" by Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led out 'The
Human Highlight Reel' Sabu to the ring.
Sabu has had his problems with Kanyon ever since he found himself in the
middle of the mess between Raven and Saturn.
Sabu and Kanyon locked up and exchanged some basic wrestling counters
until Kanyon got fed up and went to the eyes then took down Sabu with a sharp
clothesline. Kanyon didn't stay on Sabu,
instead he gloated. Kanyon went back to
Sabu but Sabu drilled Kanyon and sent him out of the ring then hit a baseball
slide dropkick! Sabu pounded on Kanyon on
the floor as Kanyon tried to get away.
Sabu smacked Kanyon's head against the announcers table then rolled him
back into the ring. Sabu came in with a
slingshot legdrop on Kanyon for two.
Sabu and Kanyon went back and forth in an exciting spotfest. The closing moments of the match would see

fisherman buster for two. Sabu took
Kanyon up top and went for a top-rope frankensteiner but Kanyon held on and
Sabu fell down. Kanyon came off with a

pulled a table out. Kanyon took a page
out of Sabu's playbook and setup the table on the outside. Kanyon went back in the ring and tried to
suplex Sabu over the top and through the table.

mat. Sabu pulled Kanyon out onto the
table. Sabu went for an asai moonsault
but Kanyon moved and Sabu crashed through the table! Kanyon slowly rolled Sabu into the ring and
covered him for the one ... two ... THR ... foot on the ropes! Kanyon went crazy, stomping away on Sabu. Kanyon picked up Sabu for a Flatliner but

and hit the Triple Jump Moonsault on Kanyon for the one ... two ... THREE! Sabu picks up a hard fought win over Chris
Kanyon! WINNER: Sabu in 10:20. Rating: ** 1/2 Match #4: Simon Diamond & Swinger v. The Dudley
Boyz. "Simon Says" by Drain
STH blasted over the speakers as Dawn Marie led out her team of Simon Diamond
& Swinger to the ring. Then,
"Dead Cell" by Papa Roach blared over the speakers as The Dudley Boyz
headed out to the ring. Simon &
Swinger cost The Dudleyz a match for the World Tag Team Titles a few weeks back
by mistake. The two teams have become
embroiled in a feud ever since. Simon
& Swinger won on Ring Wars last week while The Dudleyz may still be hurting
from their Tables Match with Steiner & Regal. Buh Buh and D-Von were looking to take their
aggression out on Simon & Swinger as we started out with a wild brawl
between the four men. It'd take a few
moments until things got settled down into D-Von against Swinger. Swinger
pounded on D-Von then sent him into the ropes but D-Von Dudley came off with a
spinning elbowsmash. D-Von grabbed
Swinger in a side headlock and made the tag to Buh Buh. Buh Buh did some trash talking while he beat
down Swinger in the corner. The Dudleyz
made some quick tags and worked over Swinger for a bit until Swinger managed to
make a tag to Simon Diamond. Simon took
Buh Buh to the mat and worked over him.
Simon and Swinger isolated Buh Buh in their corner and took control of
the match. This would be a decent back
and forth match between the two teams.
The closing moments of the match would see Swinger go for the Swing Thing
on Buh Buh but Buh Buh blocked it and went for a Buh Buh Bomb. Swinger countered it with a back kick then a
small package on Buh Buh Ray Dudley for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Swinger tried to send Buh Buh into the ropes
but Buh Buh pulled Swinger in and planted him with a BUh Buh Bomb for the one
... two ... THR. .. Simon breaks the pin!
D-Von came in and slugged it out with D-Von. Simon went for a lariat but D-Von ducked and
hit a Reverse Neckbreaker! Swinger tried
to send D-Von into the ropes but D-Von reversed it, picked Swinger up ... Buh
Buh's up and DUDLEY DEATH DROP on Swinger!
Buh Buh covers Swinger for the one ... two ... THREE! The Dudley Boyz get back on the winning
track! WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz in 10:23. Rating: ** Afterwards, Dawn
Marie got into the ring and slapped Buh Buh.
Buh Buh grabbed her by the hair ... 'D-VON! GET THE TABLE!' D-Von got the table and Buh Buh would super
bomb Dawn Marie through the table! Simon
and Swinger carried Dawn Marie to the back... Match #5: Raven v. Saturn - No DQ. "Come Out And Play" by Offspring
blared over the speakers as Raven walked out to the ring on his own. Raven had a look of distain on his face for
the fans as he walked into the ring, took the microphone and slouched down in
the corner... RAVEN:
"Saturn, you've turned into a man that is just like all of these
people ... irrational and blood thirsty.
All you want is to see me lieing here in a pool of my own blood. Well what about me? WHAT ABOUT RAvEN? What about what I want? Saturn, all I want is for you to trust
me! I can do more for your career then
any of these imbociles. Violence doesn't
have to be the answer ... come join me, Saturn, come fight WITH me, not against
me!" "Beautiful
People" by Marilyn Manson blared over the speakers as Saturn headed out of
the entrance and into the ring. Raven
crawled over to Saturn on his knees... RAVEN: "I'm
on my knees, Saturn, I'm begging you ... be my friend! Forget about all these fans! You're a misfit, an outcast, just like me,
just like The Flock. You belong with us
... You are one of us! What'd you say,
Saturn?" Raven stuck out
his hand for a handshake but instead of shaking his hand, Saturn drilled Raven
right in the forehead with a right hand.
Saturn picked up Raven and threw him with a T-Bone suplex! Saturn picked up the microphone... SATURN:
"YOU'RE PATHETIC! You're a
liar, a weasal, and a piece of SHIT!
There's no way in hell that I'd ever want anything to do with you
again!" The referee rang
the bell and the match was officially on.
Raven backed away from Saturn into the corner. Saturn walked in after him but Raven drilled
him in the gut then took down Saturn with a short lariat. Raven mounted Saturn and began hammering away
on him with rights and lefts then started choking Saturn. Raven took off his leather jacket and began
whipping Saturn with it until the referee grabbed it from him and threw it out
of the ring. Raven choked Saturn against
the ropes then bounced off the other side and went to jump on Saturn but Saturn
moved. Saturn sent Raven to the outside
and went out. Saturn was now in control,
beating the stuffing out of Raven on the outside. This match would be purely a brawl between
Raven and Saturn with Saturn beating on Raven and Raven taking cheap shots to
try and recover from his beating. The
closing moments of the match would see Raven hit a piledriver on Saturn for 2
1/2. Raven went to the outside and
brought a steel chair into the ring.
Raven set it up and hit a drop toehold on the chair for the one ... two
... THR ... NO! Saturn kicked out! Raven
picked up Saturn for the Evenflow DDT but Saturn threw him with a northern
lights suplex. Saturn went up top and
came off with a flying elbowdrop for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Raven
kicks out! Saturn turned Raven over into
the Rings Of Saturn! Raven screamed in
pain and struggled for the ropes. Scott
Vick hit the ring and stomped on Saturn.
Vick bounced off the ropes but Saturn caught him with a superkick! Raven drilled Saturn low then spiked him with
the Evenflow DDT! Raven covers for the
one ... two ... THREE! Raven has stolen
a win over Saturn! WINNER: Raven in 12:05. Rating: *** 1/4 Match #6: The Sandman & Too Cold Scorpio (c) v. The
Acolytes - NGW World Tag Team Titles.
"Enter Sandman" by Metallica sounded over the speakers as the
NGW World Tag Team Champions, 'The Extreme Icon' The Sandman and Too Cold
Scorpio made their way out to the ring.
Since it was Pay-Per-View, Sandman took his sweet time coming out. He lit up a smoke and shared a few beers with
the fans. Then, "El Cu Cuy" by
Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as the challengers, Faarooq and Bradshaw,
The Acolytes headed out to the ring. The
Acolytes made waves jumping over to NGW and setting their sights on Sandman
& Scorpio's World Tag Team Titles.
Scorpio and Faarooq started things out for their respective teams. Faarooq overpowered Scorpio in the lockup but
Scorpio shoved Faarooq off into the ropes and hit a hiptoss then a roundhouse
kick on Faarooq. Scorpio was off to a
good start against Faarooq. Scorpio hit
some quick jabs but Faarooq fired back.
Faarooq hammered Scorpio and sent him into the corner. Faarooq charged in but Scorpio flipped over
him and rolled him up for an early two count.
Scorpio made the tag to The Sandman.
Sandman did the only thing he knows how, brawl. Sandman slugged it out with Faarooq which
would prove to be a mistake as Faarooq sent Sandman into the ropes and snapped
him over with a powerslam for two.
Faarooq made a tag to Bradshaw.
The big Texan came in and unloaded on The Sandman in the corner. Bradshaw hit a fallaway slam for two. Bradshaw sent Sandman into the ropes and
ducked down. Sandman kicked Bradshaw in
the face then came back with some punches.
Bradshaw swung wildly but Sandman ducked and hit a White Russian
Legsweep for two. Sandman made a tag to
Scorpio, who came off the top with a flying dropkick. Sandman and Scorpio would have to make quick
tags to wear down their more powerful opponents. The closing moments of the match would see
Sandman and Faarooq going at it. Faarooq
sent Sandman into the ropes and went for a Spinebuster but Sandman countered it
with a DDT! Sandman headed up top and
came off with the Flying Legdrop but Faarooq rolled out of the way. Faarooq made a tag to Bradshaw. Bradshaw ran across the ring and knocked
Scorpio off the apron and into the guardrail hard. Sandman surprised Bradshaw with a DDT then a
gold haze came over the arena... '24 Karat Pictures
Presents ... A Shattered Dreams Production ... GOLDUST!' GOLDUST:
"Here's lookin' at you, kid - Humphrey Bogart, Casablanca,
1942. One man's life as he knows it is
about to come to an end ... his dreams are about to be shattered ... Oh, you
will NEVER forget the name of GOLDUST!" Out of the
entrance walked Goldust in his big robe.
With Goldust was a middle aged woman and young kid. Joey Styles quickly recognized them as Lori
and Tyler Fullington, The Sandman's ex-wife and son! Goldust had an arm over each of their
shoulder's. Sandman was in disbelief in
the ring. Goldust turned and walked away
as the lights came back up. Sandman
turned around into a Clothesline From Hell by Bradshaw! Bradshaw covers The Sandman for the one ...
two ... THREE! We've got new World Tag
Team Champions! The Acolytes are the new
World Tag Team Champions! But what the hell was Goldust doing with Sandman's
family? This sick, twisted and demented
man has been talking about The Sandman all this time? WINNERS: The Acolytes in 11:54. Rating: 3/4* (The Acolytes won the NGW World Tag Team Titles.) We then headed to
a video promo set to "Seize The Day" by Default for NGW's next

Heavyweight Title. "Cowboy" by
Kid Rock blasted over the speakers as the reigning and defending NGW United
States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to the
ring, guitar in hand. Then, "War
Machine" blared over the speakers as the challenger, 'The Human Suplex
Machine' Taz walked out to the ring, shredded towel over his head. Taz has been damn near unstoppable in NGW,
running through all the competition and choking them all out. Can the Chosen One stop the Path Of Rage or
will Taz make Jarrett 'Just Anotha Victim' en route to becoming the US Champ? We would find out. Jarrett started out trash talking Taz which
was a mistake as Taz opened up on Jarrett to start the match. Taz sent Jarrett into the ropes and went for
a lariat but Jarrett ducked, grabbed the ropes and pulled himself to the
outside. Jarrett decided to slow things
down then head back into the ring and try again. This time Jarrett went to the eyes of Taz
then smashed his head against the turnbuckle.
Jarrett punched chopped Taz in the corner. Taz got fired up and fired back on
Jarrett. Taz sent Jarrett into the ropes
and hit the lariat this time. Taz picked
up Jarrett and hit a Wheelbarrow Tazplex for two. Jarrett rolled out of the ring again but this
time Taz went out after the US Champ.
Taz smashed Jarrett's head against the ringsteps then went for a
belly-to-belly Tazplex on the floor but Jarrett blocked it and threw Taz into
the guardrail then back into the ring.
In a smart move, Jarrett started to work over Taz's arm and wear it down
in an effort to prevent Taz's suplexes.
The closing moments of the match would see Jarrett working over Taz's
arm on the outside. Jarrett smashed it
against the ringpost then rolled Taz inside.
Jarrett headed up top and came off with a flying axehandle but Taz caught
him and threw him with a Head & Arm Tazplex. Taz then went for a lariat but hurt his
arm. Jarrett got up and went for an
armwringer but Taz countered it into the Tazmission! Taz has the Tazmission locked in on
Jarrett! Jarrett backs Taz up and the
referee gets sandwiched in the corner!
Low blow back kick by Jarrett breaks the Tazmission! Jarrett takes down Taz with a single arm
DDT. Jarrett then grabbed his guitar,
waited on Taz to get up and broke it over his head! Then for added measure, Jarrett picked up Taz
and STROKE! Jarrett covers Taz ... The
referee crawls over and counts the one ... two ... THREE! Jeff Jarrett has retained his NGW United
States Heavyweight Title over Taz but look at how much it took to do it! WINNER: Jeff Jarrett in 15:08. Rating: *** (Jeff Jarrett retained the NGW United States Heavyweight
Title.) Main Event: Scott Steiner & William Regal v. Steve
Austin & ??? - Steel Cage Match.
"I Am Hated" by SlipKnot blasted over the speakers as the NGW
World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner headed out to the ring first
along with Midajah. "British
Doom" by Jim Johnston sounded over the speakers as his partner in crime,
William Regal made his way out and into the steel cage. Then, "Hell Yeah" by Disturbed
blasted over the speakers as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin headed out of the
entrance and went right into the ring and started hammering on Steiner. Regal jumped Austin from behind. Midajah nailed the outside referee with a low
blow then grabbed the padlock from him and locked the cage! Stone Cold is trapped inside the cage with
Steiner and Regal. Steiner and Regal
took it to Austin for a few moments until the lights went out! "Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits
sounded over the speakers and after several moments the lights returned and
standing inside the cage was ... VAMPIRO!
Vampiro is here in NGW! Oh my
god! Scott Steiner and William Regal
looked stunned then Vampiro went at both of them. Austin got up and pounded on Steiner while
Vampiro beat on Regal in the other corner.
Vampiro is Stone Cold's partner!
Austin and Vampiro looked at each other then whipped Steiner and Regal
into each other. The referee got some
sort of order getting Steiner and Austin into their corners and settling this
down into what its supposed to be, a tag team match inside a steel cage. After the initial shock of Vampiro's arrival
wore off, Scott Steiner and William Regal slowed the match down and did a
magnificant job of wearing down either Austin or Vampiro in their corner, using
the cage to their advantage. Around the
ten minute mark of the match, Steiner picked up Austin on his shoulder and
rammed Austin's head into the cage busting him wide open. Austin fought his hardest for the rest of the
match but was losing a lot of blood which took a lot out of him. Vampiro kept Steiner and Regal on their toes
with his high impact offense added to the fact that Steiner no Regal had
prepared for Vampiro. Austin and Vampiro
worked okay as a team but had nowhere near the continuity of Steiner and Regal. The closing moments of the match would see a
bloody Stone Cold trading punches with Big Poppa Pump. Steiner sent Austin into the ropes and went
for a Steinerline but Austin ducked, kicked Steiner and went for a
Stunner! Steiner ducks and shoves Austin
face first into the cage and plants him with a full nelson bomb! Steiner rolls Austin over and traps him in
the Steiner Recliner! Austin can't hold
out much longer in this hold! Vampiro
came in with a thrust kick to Steiner, scooped up the World Champion and
VAMPIRO SPIKE! William Regal is in, he
goes into his tights for the brass knucks.
Vampiro kicks Regal and pulls the knucks off his hand and throws them
out of the ring! However, Regal catches
Vampiro with the British Neckbreaker!
Austin is up and starts hammering on Regal ... WAIT A MINUTE! ROB VAN DAM JUST JUMPED OVER THE
GUARDRAIL! Van Dam's pulls off his shirt
showing his ribs are heavily taped, he's a mess. Van Dam is climbing up the cage ... RVD's on
top of the cage and OH MY GOD! FIVE STAR
FROG SPLASH from the top of the cage onto Steiner! RVD is hurt and hurt bad! Wait ... STUNNER on REGAL! Austin covers Regal for the one ... two ...
THREE! Steve Austin and Vampiro have won
this Steel Cage match and Rob Van Dam practically killed himself to get some
retribution against Scott Steiner! WINNERS: Steve Austin & Vampiro in 24:18. Rating: *** Afterwards, the
cage was opened and EMTs went to attend to Van Dam, who must've re-injured
those ribs with that Five Star Frog Splash off the top of the cage. Steve Austin got a few beers then climbed to
the top of the cage and downed them as the show ended... |
