New York" by Raekwon played in background of a video montage highlighting
the events leading up to the main matches here tonight at NGW NEW YORK
KNOCKOUT. Tonight; the Wolfpac left
Konnan a bloody and beaten mess in a vicious locker room assault but Vampiro
returned last week to get some revenge on Konnan. Konnan and Vampiro square off tonight in a
Street Fight. Rey Misterio Jr. may have
been challenging for the World Cruiserweight Title tonight if it wasn't for
Super Crazzy. Rey Rey will get his hands
on The Insane Luchadore tonight. The
intense and mysterious Low Ki will be the one getting the shot at the World
Cruiserweight Champion, 'Dangerous' Devon Storm tonight. Several weeks ago, the Wolfpac attempted to
recruit John Cena but Cena turned them down.
The Wolfpac didn't take that very well, taking out Cena and threatening
to put an end to his short career. Cena
was brought together with Booker T, who has well documented problems with the
Wolfpac. John Cena and Booker T team up
tonight to wage war against the Wolfpac's Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett. Who is the most dominant big man in NGW? Kane feels he's been overlooked with the
emergence of Brock Lesnar. The two big
men have butted heads over recent weeks and have both done everything in their
power to face off here tonight but it won't be one-on-one as Chris Jericho and
Brock Lesnar attempt to take the World Tag Team Titles from Raven and
Kane. It was one month ago that Taz
viciously assaulted Rob Van Dam with a Tazmission Plex through a table. Rob Van Dam momentarily lost the feeling in
his limbs and suffered a stinger. RVD
had a choice, defend against Taz or forfeit the World Championship. Rob Van Dam has defied doctor's orders and
will step back into the ring tonight, risking his career to defend his World
Championship against Taz! Is Rob Van
Dam making the biggest mistake of his career here tonight? Taz has promised to attack the injured neck
of Van Dam like a shark. Does Rob Van
Dam stand any chance of walking out of MSG with the World Championship or will
he not be walking out at all? We'll find
out tonight at NEW YORK KNOCKOUT! We entered
Madison Square Garden as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcomed us to Revenge and
thanked everyone for ordering the event.

moonsault for the one ... two .. THR ... NO! NO! Taz got the shoulder up! Van Dam went for a kick but Taz grabbed the
leg. Van Dam stepped over but Taz grabbed
him and HARDWAY TAZPLEX! Van Dam landed
right on his head! Van Dam rolled out of
the ring and was just out of it on the ground!
The referee started to count the lifeless Van Dam out but Taz shoved the
referee away. Taz went out and threw Van
Dam back into the ring. Taz waited on
Van Dam to pull himself up and TAZMISSION! TAZMISSION! Taz has the Tazmission locked in on Van
Dam! RVD is fading! Van Dam runs up the ropes and flips over,
pinning Taz's shoulders to the mat while still in the Tazmission ... ONE! TWO!
THREE! HE GOT HIM! Rob Van Dam has
retained the NGW World Championship! WINNER: Rob Van Dam in 16:12. Rating: *** (Rob Van Dam retained the NGW World Championship.) After the match,
Taz rolled right of the ring pissed off.
Taz grabbed a steel chair and slid back into the ring. Taz swung but RVD saw him at the last second
and ducked. VAN DAMINATOR! Van Dam's music hit as he grabbed his World
Championship in one hand and his neck in the other as the show came to a close! |
