Day" by Default played in background of a video montage highlighting the
events leading up to the main matches here tonight at NGW March Madness. Tonight; Saturn's ongoing problems with The
Flock continue but he's found himself some allies in Evolution to face Chris
Kanyon, 'Dangerous' Devon Storm and 'Sick' Scott Vick. The Sandman has been a man ready to explode
and tonight he will when he gets Goldust in the ring. We know Sandman has an ass whipping in store
for Goldust but what does the bizarre one have in store for The Sandman
tonight? The leader of The Flock, Raven
issued a challenge to Sabu before a rematch between him and Saturn could be
signed. However, Raven will have more
then he can handle with 'The Human Highlight Reel'. The NGW World Tag Team Champions, The
Acolytes were looking dominant until The Dudley Boyz beat them on Ring Wars in
a non-title match. Can The Dudley Boyz
repeat that performance with the gold on the line? 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz will take the
NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett to the
streets in a Street Fight. Jarrett
narrowly escaped with his US Heavyweight Title against Taz last month and now
he's gotta step into Taz's world. 'Stone
Cold' Steve Austin ... William Regal ... 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro ... One of
these three men will go onto Lord Of The Ring next month to challenge for the
NGW World Championship. Stone Cold said
that no one can stand in his way while Vampiro said that he will and it'll be
him that goes on and William Regal continues to devastate opponents with the
brass knuckles. We'll find out who the
challenger will be but who will be the World Champion? 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam returned
from a vicious assault at the hands of Scott Steiner to win a Three Way Dance
and get a shot at the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner right
here tonight. Steiner has vowed to not
send RVD to the hospital this time but to the morgue while RVD wants to put
that World Championship where he feels it belongs ... around his waist. It all goes down tonight at NGW MARCH
MADNESS... We entered the
First Union Center as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcomed us to March Madness
and thanked everyone for ordering the event.
Then they sent us to the ring for action... Opening Match: Diamond Dallas Page v. Too Cold
Scorpio. "Helping Hand" by
StainD blared over the speakers as Diamond Dallas Page headed out to the ring
first. Then, "Whoomp! There It Is"
by Tag Team blared over the speakers as Too Cold Scorpio danced out to the
ring. Page insulted Scorpio a few weeks
back after Scorpio stood up for The Sandman against Goldust. Scorpio beat up DDP in a tag match after
Goldust no-showed then DDP cost Scorpio a match against Kanyon last week
leading to tonight's match. Page and
Scorpio locked up with Page getting a side headlock. Scorpio shoved off Page, went for a
clothesline, DDP ducked and hit a forearm.
DDP laid in with the forearm shots to Scorpio then spun him around and
started to pound on the lower back of Scorpio.
Page sent Scorpio hard into the corner and hammered on him some
more. DDP then whipped Scorpio across
the ring and charged in but Scorpio moved, kicked DDP and planted him with a
power bomb for two! It was now Scorpio's
turn to take over on DDP. Scorpio
staggered Page with some chops then went for a roundhouse kick but Page
ducked. Page went for a short lariat but
Scorpio ducked, went for a kick, DDP caught the leg but Scorpio hit an
enzuigiri for two. Scorpio picked up
Page for a german suplex but Page countered it with a back kick, turned around
and leveled Scorpio with a lariat for two.
Page choked away on Scorpio until the referee broke it up. Page argued with the referee, Scorpio got up
and caught Page with a spinning heel kick then hit a standing moonsault for
two. Scorpio and DDP battled it out for
a few more minutes in a decent opener.

Cutter but Scorpio shoved him sternum first into the turnbuckle. Scorpio caught Page with a german suplex for
the one ... two ... THR ... NO! DDP got

fought win over Diamond Dallas Page to kick things off! WINNER: Too Cold Scorpio in 8:32. Rating: ** 3/4 Match #2: The Flock v. Saturn & Evolution. "Immune" by Godsmack blasted over
the speakers as Chris Kanyon, 'Dangerous' Devon Storm and 'Sick' Scott Vick
representing The Flock made their way out to the ring for this six man
tag. Then, "Beautiful People"
by Marilyn Manson blared over the speakers as their opponents, Saturn and
Evolution headed out to the ring together.
Saturn's had tons of problems with The Flock in his attempts to get at
Raven while The Flock targeted Evolution after Evolution beat The Flock in a
three way at Blazing Glory. So Saturn
and Evolution have been brought together by a common hate for the unwashed and
unruly The Flock. Chris Kanyon and
Saturn would start things off for their respective teams. Kanyon sent Saturn into the corner and hit a
clothesline. Kanyon pulled Saturn out
and went for a spinning leg lariat but Saturn moved out of the way. Saturn threw Kanyon with a takeover
suplex. Kanyon quickly made the tag out
to Devon Storm. Devon Storm ran right at
Saturn but Saturn knocked him down with a punch but that opened the door for
Kanyon to hit a thrust kick on Saturn.
The referee forced Kanyon out but the damage was done and Devon Storm
could take over on Saturn. Storm chopped
away on Saturn then went for a suplex but Saturn dropped down the back and hit
a release tiger suplex. Saturn made the
tag out to Nova. Nova came off the top
with a spin kick onto Storm. Nova then
planted him with an armtrap rocker dropper for two. Nova sent Storm into the ropes but Storm came
off with a flying forearm shot. Storm
grabbed Nova and tossed him into his corner and made the tag to Scott
Vick. This is how the match would go on,
all non-stop action from the six men.
The closing moments of the match would see Devon Storm send Nova into
the ropes but Jett made a blind tag on Nova.
Nova dropped down and Jett came in with an Afterburner on Storm for
two. Jett hit the Crash Landing on Storm
for the one ... two ... THR ... Vick breaks it up! Vick hammered on Jett but Nova came in. Nova caught Vick with a clothesline which
took both men over the top to the outside.
Storm rolled over and tagged in Kanyon but Jett also made the tag to Saturn. Saturn hammered Kanyon with a flurry of
punches then went to send him into the ropes but Kanyon reversed it and hit a
shoulder lift flapjack! Kanyon went up
to the second turnbuckle and came off with a flying clothesline for two. Kanyon lined up Saturn for a thrust kick but
Saturn beat him to it with a superkick.

blocked it in mid-move with an elbow then picked up Kanyon and DEATH VALLEY
DRIVER! Saturn covers Kanyon for the one
... two ... THREE! Saturn has overcome
The Flock here with Evolution and takes a big step closer to getting his hands
on Raven! WINNERS: Saturn & Evolution in 11:41. Rating: *** Match #3: Goldust v. The Sandman. "Shattered Dreams" sounded over the
speakers as the bizzare one, Goldust walked out to the ring. However, in the midst of his entrance The
Sandman nailed him from behind in the aisle way. Sandman hammered on Goldust then rolled him
into the ring. The referee rang the bell
as Sandman shouted obscenities at Goldust.
Sandman stomped away on Goldust then yelled at him to get up. Goldust did and Sandman knocked him down with
a right hand. Goldust rolled to the
outside and the refere held Sandman back from going out after him. Goldust managed to get his robe off and then
smiled at The Sandman pacing around the ring.
Goldust rolled back in and Sandman came at him again but Goldust went to
the eyes. Goldust kneed Sandman in the
gut and threw him into the corner.
Goldust opened up on Sandman with slaps and punches then hit a bulldog
for two. Goldust sent Sandman into the
ropes and ducked down but Sandman caught him with a DDT. Sandman didn't cover, instead he just
continued to pummel on Goldust. The
referee pulled Sandman back and Goldust snuck in a low blow. Goldust rolled out of the ring and started
walking away, not wanting anymore of The Sandman. Wait!
Too Cold Scorpio drilled Goldust from behind and throws him back into
the ring! The referee argued with
Scorpio to leave. Sandman had pulled a
roll of tape out of his pocket and taped up a fist. Sandman drilled Goldust with the taped
fist. Sandman hammered on Goldust's
forehead until the referee came back and then he crouched over in the corner,
taking off the tape. The damage was done
as Goldust's forehead was busted wide open.
Sandman would just beat the living hell out of Goldust, teaching him to
never mess with his family. The closing
moments of the match would see Sandman take Goldust up top. Sandman went for the Heinnekenrana but
Goldust shoved Sandman down to the canvas.
Goldust came down and went for the Curtain Call but Sandman blocked it
and hit a White Russian Legsweep!
Sandman headed upstairs and hit the Flying Legdrop! Sandman went back up top and hit a second
Flying Legdrop! Sandman was gonna cover
Goldust but Tyler ran into the ring and stood in front of Goldust, not letting
Sandman cover him! Sandman pleaded with
his son. His ex-wife Lori came out on
the apron and Sandman argued with her to get the kid out of this. The referee took Tyler from the ring and
Goldust drilled Sandman low then hit the Curtain Call! Goldust covers for the one ... two ...
THREE! Goldust just stole this one from
The Sandman after getting his ass handed to him the whole match! WINNER: Goldust in 9:19. Rating: * 1/4 Afterwards, Lori
helped a bloody Goldust from the ring and to the back while Sandman recovered
in the ring looking stunned and more angry then ever... [backstage] The NGW World
Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner had grabbed The Coach because he had
something on his mind... STEINER: "Rob
Van Dam ... what I want to find out is what kind of a man you are! We already know what kind of a man I am. I'm a genetic freak, I've got the largest
arms in the world. I'm gonna make good
on my word tonight and take you out again but I want it to be all legal. RVD, are you man enough to face me in a No
Disqualifications match tonight? I'll
even one up that, if William Regal or any NGW wrestlers interfere I'll forfeit
my World Championship to you! All I want
is it to be perfectly legal when I snap you in half and leave you in a pool of
your own blood! Are you man
enough?" Match #4: Raven v. Sabu.
"Come Out And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as
Raven headed out to the ring first. We
saw Raven's Flock lose earlier to Saturn and Evolution in a six man. Then, "Little Crazy" by Fight
blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led out 'The Human Highlight Reel'
Sabu to the ring. One has to wonder
about Raven's condition after that rough brawl with Stone Cold on Ring Wars
just six days ago. Raven drilled Sabu in
the gut with a knee to start then threw Sabu into the corner. Raven hammered on Sabu then went for a
bulldog but Sabu threw him off. Sabu

with an Air Sabu but Raven ducked out and rolled out of the ring. Sabu recovered and surprised Raven with a

Raven blocked it and hit a snap suplex.
Raven slowed things down a bit, choking and pounding on Sabu. Raven went for a hiptoss but Sabu blocked it
then hit a clothesline. Sabu went out to
the apron and came in with a slingshot somersault senton but Raven rolled out
of the way. Raven picked up Sabu and
threw him to the outside. Raven pounded
away on Sabu on the floor. Sabu fought
back and the two brawled back and forth on the floor for a bit. Raven managed to get a drop toe hold sending
Sabu face first into the ring steps.
Raven tried to take a page out of Sabu's book by setting up a table but
he was unable to make use of it. The
fight raged on for several minutes as both men did what they do best and that's
brawl. The closing moments of the match
would see Sabu send Raven into the corner and charge in but Raven got a foot up
then hit a bulldog on Sabu for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Raven picked up Sabu and spiked him with a
piledriver for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!
Sabu kicked out again! Raven got
frustrated and went to the outside and grabbed a chair. Raven slid it into the ring but Sabu drilled
him with a baseball slide dropkick. Sabu
went out and hit a DDT on Raven on the floor!
Sabu took Raven around to the other side of the ring and placed him on
the table that was set up earlier. Sabu
went back into the ring and set up the chair.
Sabu bounced off the ropes, sprung off the chair and flew widely out
with a somersault plancha but Raven moved off the table! Sabu crashed through the table with his leg
nailing the guardrail! Raven went right
to work on the leg, smashing it with broken pieces of table. Raven rolled Sabu into the ring and used a
spinning toe hold, working over that leg.
Sabu hobbled around and Raven went for the Evenflow DDT! NO! Sabu
countered it with a northern lights!
Sabu then caught Raven with a DDT of his own. Sabu placed the chair, limped around then
went for the Triple Jump Moonsault but his leg gave out, trying to jump off the
chair. Raven picked up the chair and
threw it at Sabu's head! Raven placed
the chair on the mat and spiked Sabu with the Evenflow DDT onto the chair for
the one ... two ... THREE! Raven has
taken a really hard fought win over Sabu after Sabu's leg just couldn't support
his weight going for that Triple Jump Moonsault! WINNER: Raven in 10:16. Rating: ** 1/2 [backstage] The Coach got a
response from 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam on the challenge of making
tonight's World Championship match a No Disqualifications match... VAN DAM: "Am
I man enough? What kind of question is
that? I'm R-V-D! Of course, I'm man enough. Since we're here in Philadelphia, I couldn't
think of a better place for No DQ's. I
accept, Steiner but I gotta ask you, will you be man enough to show your face
on Ring Wars tommorow night when everybody's favorite wrestler, Rob Van Dam, is
the World Champion?" Match #5: The Acolytes (c) v. The Dudley Boyz - NGW World

the ring with his guitar for this Street Fight.
Jarrett was talking trash as usual but he's got to be nervous. Then, "War Machine" blared over the
