-On the Countdown Show, Joey Styles read a prepared
statement from NGW Management regarding the wrestler known as 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin. STYLES: "In
light of recent circumstances surrounding the personal life of Steve Williams
aka. Stone Cold Steve Austin, New Generation Wrestling has given Steve an
indefinate leave of absence from the company.
New Generation Wrestling does not condone his actions but does not
believe in kicking people when they are down and feel that Steve's recent
actions are not in his character. NGW is
giving Steve an opportunity to seek out the help required to get his life back
in order. There is no time table on a
possible return of Steve Austin but if he can take the steps required to
change, NGW will consider giving him another chance. Thank you." -We then went to NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels who had
an announcement regarding the Main Event of SuperClash. MICHAELS:
"Due to the fact Steve Austin is no longer a part of NGW's active
roster, that leaves a big hole in the promotion and tonight's Pay-Per-View
event. However, some things are beyond
our control and bigger then professional wrestling. Therefore, I have made the decision that the
winner of tonight's match between Rob Van Dam and Chris Jericho will challenge
Scott Steiner for the NGW World Championship later in the show." --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- NGW SuperClash - August 18 / 2002 --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- Compaq Center in Houston, TX --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- "Nothing"
by Unloco played in background of a video montage highlighting the events
leading up to the main matches here tonight at NGW SUPERCLASH. Tonight; the rookie Randy Orton was given a
chance to be set free by The Flock but declined and was beaten to a bloody pulp
but Orton got some revenge and will try to get more tonight against Chris
Kanyon. Juventud Guerrera gets another
shot at Rey Misterio Jr's World Cruiserweight Title but this time it will be a
Mexican Death Match. 'The Chosen One'
Jeff Jarrett has used his guitar as a weapon for long enough so Shawn Michaels
decided to hang it up on a pole when Jarrett meets Vampiro tonight. 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz defends the
United States Heavyweight Title against Eddy Guerrero. Guerrero may not be able to fight Taz but
there's no one sneakier then Guerrero and if anyone can find a way to unseat
Taz it's Eddy Guerrero. Raven has found
himself the best partner he can in Kane and it's shown as the two have
dominated their way to becoming the World Tag Team Champions. However, Sabu and Devon Storm have also found
success in a short time as a team. Sabu
and Storm will put their bodies on the line to walk out with the World Tag Team
Titles. Kevin Nash shocked many when he
turned against Shawn Michaels a few weeks ago out of frustration for being
unable to capture the World Championship.
But it would be a debuting Booker T who put an end to what could have
been a back breaking experience for Shawn Michaels. Booker T makes his NGW in-ring debut tonight
against one of the biggest and baddest men walking, Kevin Nash. NGW was put into a jam tonight but Shawn
Michaels has stated that the winner of the grudge match between Rob Van Dam and
Chris Jericho will go on later in the night to challenge 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott
Steiner for the NGW World Championship.

a video promo set to "Room to Breathe" by Project Wyze for NGW's next
Pay-Per-View offering ... NGW REVENGE ... The event comes to you on September
15th, live from the MCI Center in Washington, DC on Pay-Per-View! Main Event: Rob Van Dam v. Scott Steiner (c) - NGW World
Championship. "Walk" by
Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam headed
out to the ring. Van Dam was not looking
to be at 100% and there's no way that he could be after his grueling match with
Chris Jericho earlier in the night but RVD is gonna have to suck it up if he
wants to have any hope at walking out the World Champion. "I Need A Freak" by Too $hort
blared over the speakers as the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott
Steiner walked out to the ring with his favorite freak Midajah. Steiner had some very candid comments earlier
and while Steiner talks a big game, he's backed it up in the ring every time
and that's why he is the one and only World Champion in NGW's history. Steiner and RVD locked up. Steiner threw Van Dam down to the canvas but
Van Dam sprung right up to his feet.

Steiner into the ring. Van Dam came in
with a ropeflip moonsault for two. Van
Dam headed to the top and came off with a crossbody block but Steiner caught
him and crushed RVD with a backbreaker for two.

the past. Rob Van Dam has great stamina
but the effects of this being his second match of the night started to set in
as he had a little less behind his strikes.
The closing moments of the match would see Van Dam hit a corkscrew
legdrop on Steiner for 2 1/2. Van Dam
hit some forearms and tried to send him into the ropes but Steiner pulled Van
Dam in and tossed him with a T-Bone suplex!
