--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- NGW Winter Wars - December 8 / 2002 --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- Key Arena in Seattle, WA --=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-- "American
Psycho" by Treble Charger sounded in the background of a montage of
footage leading up to tonight's Main Event were Rob Van Dam defends the NGW
World Championship against Scott Steiner.
For eight long months, Scott Steiner held the World Championship and
destroyed everyone in his path including Rob Van Dam. Steiner's ruthless tactics put RVD on the
shelf two times in the process. On
August 18th at NGW SuperClash, Rob Van Dam ended the reign of Scott Steiner and
became the 2nd World Champion in NGW history.
Scott Steiner returned to NGW a month later and now with the Dangerous Alliance
behind him, Big Poppa Pump looks to steal the show from the Whole F'n Show and
regain the NGW World Championship. Can
Rob Van Dam overcome Scott Steiner once more or is NGW in store for another
reign of terror from Big Poppa Pump?
We'll find out tonight at NGW WINTER WARS... We entered Key
Arena as Joey Styles and Don Callis welcomed us to Winter Wars and thanked
everyone for ordering the event. Don
Callis was making his NGW debut as Styles' new color commentator. Then they
sent us to the ring for action... (1) DANGEROUS ALLIANCE v. JOHN CENA & RANDY ORTON 'DANGER! DANGER!'
blared over the speakers as Paul Heyman led out 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett
and 'K-Dawg' Konnan of the Dangerous Alliance to the ring. Then, "More Human Than Human (NIN
Remix)" by White Zombie brought 'The Prototype' John Cena out. "Here To Stay" by KoRn blared over
the speakers as Randy Orton made his way out to the ring. John Cena has been fighting off the D.A. for
most of his time in NGW while Orton was drawn in after Jarrett put Goldust on
the shelf with a Piledriver on the concrete.
Cena and Jarrett started things out.
Jarrett grabbed a side headlock but Cena shoved him off and ducked down,
Jarrett kicked him in the face and grabbed another side headlock but Cena hit a
side suplex and tagged in Orton. Orton
hit a dropkick on Jarrett then worked over the arm. Orton and Cena made some quick tags, working
over Jarrett. Jarrett managed to get a
tag to Konnan and the Dangerous Alliance started to turn the momenteum of the
match in their favor. The experience of
Jarrett and Konnan combined with Paul Heyman shouting instructions on the
outside gave them a noticeable edge over the inexperienced rookies, John Cena
and Randy Orton. The closing moments of
the match would see Jarrett go for a hotshot on Cena but Cena countered it with
a DDT! Cena crawled to make a tag but
Jarrett got the tag to Konnan first.
Konnan cut the tag off. Konnan
went for a Power Drop on Cena but Orton made a blind tag. Orton went to the top ... Cena dropped down
and spun around Konnan then Orton came off with the Frog Press! Orton covers Konnan for the one ... Jarrett's
in ... two ... Cena cuts off Jarrett with a forearm ... THREE! Randy Orton scores the pinfall to take the
win for his team to kick off Winter Wars! WINNERS: John Cena & Randy Orton in 9:23. Rating: ** We then went to a
short video package set to "Come As You Are" by Nirvana recapping the
feud between Raven and Tommy Dreamer thus far in NGW. It started with a mysterious masked man under
the hood of 'X' attacking Raven two months ago at New York Knockout. The attacks continued on Raven and The Flock
until November To Remember. 'X' revealed
himself to be Stevie Richards. However,
it was just a diversion for the real X, Tommy Dreamer, to attack Raven and lay
him out with the Spicolli Driver. Tommy
Dreamer and Stevie Richards had come to NGW to put an end to Raven's
games. Tommy Dreamer defeated Kanyon in
singles action prompting Raven to fire Kanyon from the Flock. Dreamer and Richards were set to take on
Raven and Saturn in tag team action but only Saturn showed up. Raven picked his spot and pinned Richards
with an Evenflow DDT. The Flock
assaulted Dreamer & Richards until Vampiro came from the crowd to help them
out or so they thought. Vampiro's showed
his allegiance to The Flock with a Vampiro Spike to Tommy Dreamer. Last week, Raven vowed to not make the same
mistake he made five years ago, he won't let Tommy Dreamer get one pinfall on
him. Dreamer faced off with Vampiro and
Vampiro won after interference from The Flock.
Again, The Flock dismantled Dreamer and Richards until KANE cleared
house setting up tonight's six man tag team match... (2) RAVEN & SATURN & vAMPIRO v. TOMMY DREAMER
& STEVIE RICHARDS & KANE "Come Out
And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as Raven, Saturn and
Vampiro all headed out to the ring for this six man tag team matchup. Then, "Man In The Box" by Alice In
Chains sounded as 'The Innovator Of Violence' Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards
walked out of the entrance. Dreamer and
Richards paused as "Slow Chemical" by Finger Eleven blasted over the
speakers and 'The Big Red Machine' Kane joined them. Dreamer, Richards and Kane all stormed the
ring. Raven and Saturn managed to duck
out but Kane caught Vampiro before he could leave. Dreamer and Richards went to the outside and
started brawling with Raven and Saturn while Kane and Vampiro started things
out on the inside. Kane hammered on
Vampiro in the corner then picked him up for a running powerslam but Vampiro
dropped down and hit some kicks, followed with a spinning heel kick taking down
Kane. Vampiro tagged in Saturn and the
two hit a double suplex on Kane. Saturn
headed to the top but Kane caught up to him and threw Saturn off the top. Kane then made the tag to Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer hammered on Saturn in the corner then
tied him to the tree of woe and hit a baseball slide dropkick for two. Dreamer grabbed Saturn and made the tag to
Stevie Richards. Stevie chopped Saturn
then went for a suplex but Saturn blocked it and suplexed Stevie across the top
rope. This six man continued for several
minutes with fast paced action from all six men involved. The closing moments of the match would see
Raven line up Stevie and go for a running kneelift but Stevie moved and made
the tag to Dreamer! Raven rushed to tag
out but Dreamer caught him before he could!
Dreamer hammered on Raven then lifted him up and TOMMY HAWK! Dreamer covers Raven for the one ... two ...
THR ... Saturn breaks up the pin! Stevie
Richards came in and slugged it out with Saturn. Vampiro nailed Dreamer from behind and hit a
sidewalk slam. Kane stepped into the
ring and started cleaning house. Kane

Raven and threw him out! Kane went to
the outside after them. Dreamer and
Vampiro crawled to their feet, Vampiro went for a roundhouse kick but Dreamer
ducked and SPICOLLI DRIVER! Dreamer
covers Vampiro but the referee won't count!
Vampiro's not the legal man!
Raven slid into the ring, spun Dreamer around and EVENFLOW DDT! Raven covers Dreamer for the one ... two ...
THREE! That damn Raven steals the pin on
Tommy Dreamer to win this six man! WINNERS: Raven & Saturn & Vampiro in 10:09. Rating: ** 1/2 After the match,
Kane came back in and grabbed Raven by the throat but Vampiro chopblocked Kane,
allowing Raven to escape... (3) JAMIE KNOBLE v. DEVON STORM v. REY MISTERIO JR. (c) -
NGW World Cruiserweight Title. "A Country
Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr blared over the speakers as 'The
Redneck Messiah' Jamie Knoble headed out to the ring. "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails
blasted over the speakers as 'Dangerous' Devon Storm made his way out along
with Daffney. Then, "R-E-Y!"
blared over the speakers as the NGW World Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio
Jr. headed out to the ring. This match
came about after Jamie Knoble beat Misterio last month at N2R then Storm
changed a non-title match to a title defense against Misterio the next night
and Misterio ended up taking the gold.
Storm deserved a rematch but Knoble also had a claim for a title shot so
this Three Way Dance was made. Jamie
Knoble and Rey Misterio Jr. started things out with Devon Storm on the
apron. Knoble and Misterio went back and
forth for the opening minutes until Storm managed to tag himself in with a
blind tag to Knoble. Storm was eager to
get it on with Misterio. Despite the
mutual respect between the two, Storm really wants that World Cruiserweight
Title back. Knoble would soon get back
in and it was all Knoble and Storm from there as Knoble went to work on the
knee of Devon Storm. Knoble was brutal
and vicious in his assault of Storm's to the point that Storm was having
trouble standing. Knoble would go for
the Trailer Hitch but Storm kicked Knoble off into the turnbuckle. Storm crawled over to Misterio, looking for
the tag but Misterio jumped down off the apron!
Knoble pulled Storm into the middle of the ring and got him in the
Trailer Hitch! Storm tried to fight it
but had no choice but to tap out (12:11).
Devon Storm has been eliminated by Jamie Knoble and it was now down to
Knoble and Misterio. Misterio came right
in, well rested, and went to work on Knoble.
Knoble nailed Misterio in the gut to cut off his offense then sent
Misterio into the ropes but Misterio hit a spinning headscissors sending Knoble
out to the floor. Misterio went for an
asai moonsault but Knoble dodged it!
Knoble threw Misterio into the ring steps then back into the ring. Knoble began wearing down Misterio with his
hard hitting offense. The closing
moments of the match would see Knoble go for the Trailer Hitch but Misterio
rolled him up for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Knoble went for a quick lariat but Misterio
ducked. Misterio went for an irish whip
but Knoble reversed it, Misterio hit the 619!
Misterio went out to the apron and came in with the Springboard
Hurricanrana but Knoble counters it with a power bomb! Knoble covers for the one ... two ... THRENO!
NO! NO! Misterio got the shoulder
up! Knoble picked up Misterio and placed
him up top. Knoble went out to the apron
and climbed up top. Knoble hammered on
Misterio then set him up and SUPER BOMB! NO!
Misterio counters with a hurricanrana!
Misterio makes the cover for the one ... two ... THREE! Rey Misterio Jr just holds on to the World
Cruiserweight Title in this Three Way Dance! WINNER: Rey Misterio Jr. in 19:45. Rating: **** 1/2 (Rey Misterio Jr. retained the NGW World Cruiserweight
Title.) (4) CHRIS JERICHO v. BROCK LESNAR "Break The
Walls Down" by Sevendust blared over the speakers as Chris Jericho headed
out to the ring. Then, "Head
Up" by Deftones blasted over the speakers as Brock Lesnar made his way
out. Chris Jericho brought Lesnar to NGW
for his own personal gain but as Lesnar started to gain success on his own, he
became less concerned with helping out Jericho.
Tensions grew until Jericho snapped, blaming Lesnar for some recent
losses instead of taking the blame himself.
Jericho and Lesnar locked up with Lesnar throwing Jericho down to the
canvas. Jericho swore under his breath
then locked up again and again Lesnar threw him down to the mat. Jericho said 'Screw this!' and rolled out of
the ring. Jericho is walking out of
here! Jericho is leaving! Curt Hennig came out of the entrance and
stopped Jericho. Hennig grabbed Jericho
and threw him back into the ring. Lesnar
grabbed Jericho but Jericho kicked him, bounced off the ropes and hit a flying
forearm. Lesnar went down to a knee and
Jericho hit a jumping side kick sending Lesnar to the mat. Jericho choked and stomped on Lesnar, trying
to maintain control of the match.
Jericho tried to send Lesnar into the corner but Lesnar pulled him into
a hard lariat. Lesnar ran over Jericho
with another clothesline then sent him into the ropes and caught Jericho in a
powerslam for two. There was no way that
Jericho could match power with Brock Lesnar and he was having a tough time
avoiding the power. Jericho took several
nine counts on the outside to try and walk off Lesnar's power moves and
frustrate the young powerhouse. As the
match wore on, Jericho grew more and more visably frustrated with how
ineffective some of his tactics were against Lesnar. The closing moments of the match would see
Jericho dive off the top with an axehandle but Lesnar caught him and hit an
overhead belly-to-belly suplex for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Jericho got
the shoulder up! Lesnar sent Jericho
into the corner and charged in but Jericho moved and hit a bulldog! Jericho went for the Lionsault but Lesnar
rolled out of the way! Lesnar lifted up
Jericho for the Terminator but Jericho dropped down the back and snuck in a low
blow! Jericho then hit the Lionsault for
the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Lesnar
kicks out with authority! Jericho got
the same 'F-This' look on his face and left the ring! Hennig stood in his way, Jericho turned
around and decked Hennig then continued up to the back as the referee counted
out! The fans chanted BULLSHIT!
BULLSHIT! Jericho flipped them off and
went through the curtain taking the countout loss. From the look on Brock Lesnar's face, this is
not over... WINNER: Brock Lesnar via CO in 11:59. Rating: ** We headed
backstage where The Coach got some comments from 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott
Steiner... STEINER: "It
seems like when Big Poppa Pump comes to town, all my hooches come around. Now I want all those Seattle scumbags to
realize one thing. If you've got a woman
that I want, I'm gonna take her and there's not a damn thing you can do about
it. Yeah, just like that scumbag Rob Van
Dam is going to realize tonight. He's
got the World Championship, I want it, I'm gonna take it and there ain't a damn
thing Rob Van Dam can do to stop me.
Nothing is finer then Scott Steiner and Big Poppa Pump is your hookup,
and your next World Champion!" (5) PSICOSIS & SUPER CRAZZY v. THE DUDLEY BOYZ (c) -
NGW World Tag Team Titles. "Roadhouse
Blues Remix" blared over the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis
and 'The Insane Luchadore' Super Crazzy headed out to the ring. Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva
blasted over the speakers as the NGW World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz
made their way out to the ring. Psicosis
and D-Von kicked things off for their respective teams. D-Von powered Psicosis into the corner for a
break but Psicosis got in a cheap shot then sent D-Von into the ropes and hit a
spinning leg lariat. Psicosis bounced off
the ropes and hit a running legdrop.
Psicosis went for a second but D-Von moved and made the tag to Buh Buh
Ray Dudley. Buh Buh decked Psicosis with
some rights then sent him into the ropes but Crazzy made a blind tag. Crazzy came in with a springboard dropkick to
the back of Buh Buh for two. Crazzy
shoved D-Von on the apron, diverting the ref's attention, allowing Psicosis to
come in for the double team on Buh Buh.
Crazzy and Psicosis were at a definate size disadvantage against The
Dudley Boyz so they would have to use every trick up their sleeve if they were
going to be able to take the World Tag Team Titles away from the Dudley
Boyz. Quick tags and double team moves
would be the key for Psicosis and Crazzy in this one. The closing moments of the match would see
Crazzy go for a Moonsault on D-Von but D-Von crotched Crazzy and hit a
hangman's neckbreaker out of the corner for the one ... two ... Psicosis comes
off the top with the Guillotine Legdrop to the back of D-Von's head! Buh Buh Ray rushed over and chased Psicosis
out of the ring. Crazzy rolled over onto
D-VOn for the one ... two ... THR ... Buh Buh just pulls Crazzy off to break up
the pin! Psicosis nailed Buh Buh in the
back then tried to send him into the guardrail but Buh Buh reversed it then
flapjacked Psicosis on the floor! Crazzy
pulled in D-Von for a Crazzy Bomb but D-Von countered it with a backdrop! D-Von sent Crazzy into the ropes as Buh Buh
slid back into the ring and 3D! D-Von
covers Crazzy for the one ... two ... THREE!
The Dudley Boyz fend off the challenge of Psicosis and Super Crazzy to
hold on to their World Tag Team Titles. WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz in 14:21. Rating: ** 1/4 (The Dudley Boyz retained the NGW World Tag Team Titles.) We headed
backstage where Terri got some comments from 'Latino Heat' Eddy Guerrero... GUERRERO:
"Look mamacita, I can see the twinkle in your eye, mami, you're
feeling my latino heat. But my latino
heat just isn't my charisma and my charm that makes all the ladies lust after
Eddy Guerrero. No, no, no, my Latino
Heat is the fuego profundamente adentro de mí!
It's the fire deep inside of me that allows me to be the best wrestler
in the world, mami. It's that fire
that's gonna burn Booker T down to the mat, homey. Look into my eyes, Booker, look into my eyes,
ese, and you will take you and make you regret the day you EVER got involved
with the Dangerous Alliance. La ALIANZA
PELIGROSA SERÁ EL EXTREMO DE USTED!" (6) EDDY GUERRERO v. BOOKER T "Bringin'
The Heat" blared over the speakers as 'Latino Heat' Eddy Guerrero
sauntered out to the ring representing the Dangerous Alliance. Then, "Can You Dig It? SUCKA!"
blared over the speakers as Booker T headed out to the ring. Booker T has been fighting the Dangerous Alliance
for months and even chased Guerrero out of the cage last month at N2R but this
match came about when Booker had a shot at Rob Van Dam. Guerrero interfered, hitting the Frog Splash
on Booker because Scott Steiner wanted the belt to stay with RVD. Booker and Guerrero circled each other then
locked up. Booker hit a right hand, sent
Guerrero into the ropes and knocked him down with a clothesline. Booker twisted the arm and hit a roundhouse
kick for one. Booker pounded and chopped
on Eddy but Eddy fired back, Booker kneed him and went for the Axe Kick but
Eddy side stepped it and dropkicked Booker in the knee. Guerrero stomped away on the knee and went to
pick up Booker but Booker small packaged Eddy for a quick two count. Guerrero responded with a dropkick to the
head. Guerrero sent Booker into the
ropes and knocked him down with a back elbow.
Eddy pounded on Booker's lower back and his leg, trying to pick apart
Booker T. Booker started firing back but
Eddy kicked the knee. Eddy sent Booker
into the ropes but Booker came off with a spinning forearm shot! Booker went for a Harlem Sidekick but
Guerrero ducked and hit a belly-to-back suplex.
Guerrero headed up to the second rope and hit a jumping neck snap for
two. Guerrero would attempt to slow down
Booker T and just wear him out, focusing on the back and the leg of
Booker. Guerrero just picked apart
Booker T in impressive fashion, cutting off Booker's attempts to rally with his
high impact offense. The closing moments
of the match would see Booker go for a slam but Guerrero floated over and
nailed Booker in the lower back then kicked him in the gut. Guerrero bounced off the ropes and went for a
sunset flip but Booker caught him and hit a 110th Street Slam! Booker looked around to the crowd and
SPINAROONI! Guerrero staggered to his
feet and NECKWRECKER! NO! Guerrero
elbowed out and brain buster! Guerrero
to the top and FROG SPLASH! It

Booker doesn't cover ... Booker T to the top and HOUSTON HANGOVER! Right on the money! Booker covers for the... ONE... TWO... ...THREE!
THREE! Booker T takes an incredibly hard
fought win over Eddy Guerrero in a great match with the rarely used Houston
Hangover! What a match and what a win
for Booker T! WINNER: Booker T in 22:13. Rating: **** (7) KEN SHAMROCK v. TAZ (c) - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title. "I Will Be
Heard" by Hatebreed blared over the speakers as 'The World's Most
Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock headed out to the ring. Then, "War Machine" blasted over
the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex
Machine' Taz walked out to the ring.
Shamrock and Taz circled each other, throwing a few shadow punches. They locked up and Shamrock went behind but
Taz elbowed him. Taz went behind and hit
a release german suplex! Shamrock rolled

mat and suplexes. The closing moments of
the match would see Taz hit a Head & Arm Tazplex on Shamrock for the one

Title.) (Main Event) SCOTT STEINER v. ROB VAN DAM (c) - NGW World
Championship. "I Need A
Freak" by Too $hort blared over the speakers as Paul Heyman accompanied
the leader of the Dangerous Alliance, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner along with
his head freak, Trish Stratus, to the ring.
Steiner finds himself in the unfamiliar role as the challenger. Then, "Walk" by Pantera blasted
over the speakers as the reigning and defending NGW World Champion, 'The Whole
F'n Show' Rob Van Dam headed out to the ring.
Steiner and RVD went face to face in a staredown then locked up. Steiner backed Van Dam into the corner then
broke and did some posing. Steiner went
for a right but RVD ducked and landed some forearms, went for a whip, Steiner
reversed it into a fireman's carry.
Steiner resumed his posing, taunting Van Dam. RVD went to lock up but Steiner kicked him
then laid into RVD with some forearms and rights. Steiner sent Van Dam into the corner and
charged but Van Dam flipped over him, rolled underneath a clothesline then hit
a drop toe hold. Steiner got up and RVD
connected with a spin kick sending Steiner through the ropes to the floor where
Trish tried to comfort him and Heyman tried to calm him down. RVD pointed to himself to a huge reaction
from the crowd. Van Dam did some shadow
kickboxing, now taunting Steiner.
Steiner came in and went for a lockup but Van Dam faked out and hit a
legsweep. RVD kicked the legs of Steiner
as he tried to get up. Van Dam grabbed a
side headlock but Steiner just picked up RVD and tossed him off. Steiner stunned RVD with a hard right then
went for a big Steinerline but RVD ducked and hit a savate kick sending Steiner
to the floor. Van Dam followed out with
a plancha but Steiner caught him!
Steiner tried to ram RVD into the post but RVD dropped out and shoved
Steiner into the post. Van Dam then hit
an asai moonsault onto Steiner! RVD
rolled in to break the count and came back out after Steiner. Heyman distracted Van Dam but RVD backed him
off. Steiner grabbed RVD and drove him back first into the ring apron then
rolled him into the ring. Steiner hit a
belly-to-belly suplex then a backdrop suplex on RVD for two. Steiner began now to really take control over
the match and just methodically dismantle Rob Van Dam like Big Poppa Pump can. Even though Steiner was the one challenging
for the title, all his opponents seem like underdogs against him. The closing moments of the match would see
Steiner pick up RVD for a slam but RVD dropped out. Steiner went for a kick but RVD caught it and
hit a step over heel kick! Van Dam
connected with some forearms, tried to send Steiner into the corner but Steiner
