Wrestling ... Ring Wars ... The First Show ... ["Hell Yeah" by Disturbed] 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin headed out of the entrance in jean shorts and a '101 Proof' shirt
to a monsterous ovation from the crowd.
Austin headed into the ring and climbed all four turnbuckles before
taking a microphone... AUSTIN:
"Stone Cold Steve Austin is here in New Generation Wrestling for
one reason and one reason only ... the World Heavyweight Title. I live and breath World Championships and
this one will belong to Stone Cold Steve Austin. When I look at the seven other men who will
attempt to win this title ... I see nothing but trash! I see seven men that have the opportunity to
get their ass whipped by Stone Cold Steve Austin on my way to becoming the
World Champion!" ["Helping Hand" by StainD] DDP walked out of
the entrance with a big smile on his face.
DDP headed into the ring with a microphone... DDP: "Now
Stone Cold before you do anything crazy let me explain why I'm out here ... I'm
out here because I like you, these people like you but I'm not so sure that you
like you." AUSTIN:
"Huh?" DDP: "You
called all the other superstars in the World Title Tournament ... trash and
that's not a GOOD thing ... that's a BAD thing!
If you were secure enough in your own abilities you wouldn't have to put
others down. So help me, help you, to
become a better person!" AUSTIN: "What?" DDP: "I said
I'm going to help ..." AUSTIN:
"What?" DDP: "Help
... " AUSTIN:
"WHAT?! Let me get this
straight, you're going to help Stone Cold Steve Austin become a better
person? Well I'm cool with that and I'd
like to show you my gratitude by giving you something..." DDP: "See
everyone just like all of you, Stone Cold Steve Austin can become a better
person..." AUSTIN:
"Remember what I'm about to give you won't be a bad thing ...
WHAT? It'll be a good thing..." Austin imitates
DDP's fake smile then kicks DDP and STUNNER!
Austin got down and trash talked into DDP's face ... WAIT! Jeff Jarrett
is in the ring ... Austin gets up but doesn't see Jarrett ... KABONG~! Jarrett
just laid out Austin with a guitar to the head!
Jarrett picked up the microphone... JARRETT: "You
can't dodge me anymore ... now choke on that slapnuts!"
"Cowboy" by Kid Rock played as 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett
left the ring leaving Austin down in a broken guitar as we headed to our first
break... We returned to
Joey Styles and Paul Heyman at ringside, who welcomed us to the first ever
edition of NGW Ring Wars! Styles and
Heyman talked about the big night of action tonight as we head into NGW's first
pay-per-view offering ... INITIAL ASSAULT ... which is just under three weeks
away. On that show there will be a four
man one night tournament to crown the first ever NGW World Heavyweight
Champion. Tonight we'll find out who two
of those four men are as William Regal faces 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz and
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin goes one-on-one with 'The Chosen One' Jeff
Jarrett. Also, NGW World Tag Team Titles
Tournament action with The Sandman and Too Cold Scorpio against Evan Karagias &
Jamie Knoble. NGW US Title Tournament action
as Al Snow battles 'Marvelous' Marc Mero.
All that and much more tonight on RING WARS! Opening Match: Scott Vick v. Nova. "(sic)" by
SlipKnot blasted over the speakers as 'Sick' Scott Vick headed out to the ring
for our first match. Then, "Intergalactic"
by Beastie Boys blasted over the speakers as Nova made his way out to the
ring. A good quick opening contest
between two young wrestlers showing off creative moves especially Nova. Both these guys are much more polished then
when either were on TV in the past. The
ending would see Nova connect with a Spin Doctor on Vick for the one ... two
... NO! Nova went for a power bomb but
Vick countered it with a backdrop then a running powerslam. Vick headed out to the apron and came in with
a springboard dropkick for 2 1/2. Vick signalled to the crowd and went for the
Cure but Nova countered it with a slingshot then picked up Vick and spiked him
with the Kryptonite Krunch for the one ... two ... THREE! Nova scores a hard fought win in the opening
contest... WINNER: Nova in 5:02. Rating: ** After the match,
the crowd stood up because RAVEN was walking through the crowd. Raven jumped over the guardrail and into the
ring. He stood behind Scott Vick and did
a crucifix pose. Vick turned around and
Raven dropped him with the Evenflow DDT!
Raven then left the arena through the crowd... [backstage] Taz was shown
with a shredded towel over his head... TAZ: “I am not the
one you wanna look up to. What I am is a miserable, mean, and nasty son of a
bitch. I’m not the guy who you see on
the street and ask for an autograph cause you look at me the wrong way, I'll
beat your ass. They tried to make me a
commentator. They tried to make me a
joke. They tried to ruin my career but
alls they did was piss me off. Why'd
they do it? Cause alls I am is five foot
eight. Two hundred and forty-eight pounds. I’m not six foot nine. I’m not three
hundred and twenty pounds, all juiced up. No. I’m just a guy that busted his
ass for twelve miserable years to get a spot in primetime but that don't mattah
to them. I'm not your cookie cuttah
babyface or your freaky heel, I'm just a little man that'll beat your ass and
choke you out. I'M TAZ. BEAT ME … IF YOU CAN! Survive … if I let
you." Match #2: Danny Doring & Roadkill v. Jung
Dragons. "Super Bon Bon" by
Soul Coughing blared over the speakers as "Dastardly" Danny Doring
and Roadkill headed out to the ring first.
Doring bad mouthed the fans at ringside as he came out. Then, "Come Original" by 311 sounded
over the speakers as Kaz Hayashi and Jimmy Yang, the Jung Dragons, made their
way out to the ring. Another good fast
paced high spot oriented matchup. The
ending would see Kaz Hayashi hit a Slingshot DDT on Roadkill for the one ...
two ... thr ... Doring breaks it up!
Yang came in but Doring backdropped Yang sky high over the ring to the
floor. Kaz chopped Doring but Doring
went to the eyes then caught Hayashi with the Bareback! Roadkill went up top and came off with the
Amish Splash for the one ... two ... THREE!
Danny Doring & Roadkill take the win over the Jung Dragons as
Roadkill uses his size to his advantage! WINNERS: Danny Doring & Roadkill in 5:10. Rating: * [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from William Regal... REGAL: "When
I look at Taz I see a dangerous man ... I see a man ready to explode ...
Looking to make a point but listen to me you miserable little toerag if you
think for one second you're going to make your point at the expense of me? You're bloody out of your mind,
sunshine. The reputation of the great
William Regal will not be bismerched by some dirty American thug." Match #3: Saturn v. Balls Mahoney. "Real Solution #9" by White Zombie
blasted over the speakers as Saturn made his way out to the ring. Saturn looked as disturbed as usual. Then, "Big Balls" by AC/DC blasted
over the speakers as "Big" Balls Mahoney headed out to the ring. This match would be different from the first
two matches as Saturn and Balls had a wild brawl around the outside of the ring
and inside. The referee stepped back and
let them go at it. The ending would see
Saturn drill Balls with a superkick for two.
Saturn picked up Balls and went for the Death Valley Driver but couldn't
get Balls up. Balls sent Saturn into the
ropes and Balls caught Saturn with a spinebuster slam. Balls headed up top and came off with a
flying legdrop but Saturn moved. Saturn
picked up Balls and hit the Death Valley Driver this time for the one ... two
... THREE! Saturn wins a tough contest! WINNER: Saturn in 5:30. Rating: 3/4* [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett... JARRETT:
"Stone Cold Steve Austin claims that he can whip any man's ass at
anytime and he'll fight anybody. What a
load of crap. Stone Cold, you and I both
know how you've ducked and dodged The Chosen One for years. Haha, finally ... finally, I've got you right
where I want you and ol' Stone Cold will be flat on his back looking up at the
lights as The Chosen One takes another step to what is his ... the World Title
... now choke on that, slapnuts!" We then cut to
Mike Tenay who talked to 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin... AUSTIN: "Jeff
Jarrett, just what the hell were you thinking when you hit Stone Cold Steve
Austin in the head with that guitar, son?
You thought you were going to take me out? WHAT?
You didn't. All you did was sign
away your ass to Stone Cold Steve Austin.
I will have no mercy on you Jeff Jarrett as I stomp a mudhole in your
ass and walk it dry ... Can you hear it, Tenay?
Can ya? My watch is saying
something. Its saying that Jeff Jarrett
is in over his head. Thats what its
saying. You wanted me? Now you've got me and there's no turning
back." Match #4: William Regal v. Taz - NGW World Heavyweight Title
Tournament - Quarterfinals.
"British Doom" by Jim Johnston sounded over the speakers as
William Regal headed out to the ring first.
Then, "War Machine" blasted over the speakers as 'The Human
Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring with the towel over his head. Regal tried to jump Taz but Taz moved and
hammered Regal in the corner. Taz sent
Regal into the ropes and crushed him with a lariat. Taz picked up Regal and threw him with a
T-Bone Tazplex! Regal quickly rolled out
of the ring for a breather. Regal took a
nine count then got back into the ring.
Taz went for a lockup but Regal went to the eyes. Regal pounded on Taz then smacked his head
with a kneelift. Regal mounted Taz and
hammered away wildly with punches then started choking him. The referee pulled Regal off. Regal threatened the referee then Taz hit a
northern lights suplex. Regal and Taz
went back and forth in a rough, stiff and physical contest. The ending would see Taz go for a Head &
Arm Tazplex but Regal went to the eyes again.
Regal drove a couple knees into Taz then hit a double underhook power
bomb! Regal covered Taz for the one ...
two ... THR ... NO! NO! Taz got a shoulder up.
Regal went for another but Taz picked Regal up and drove him over with a
suplex type move. Taz drilled Regal with
two lariats then hit a Head & Arm Tazplex!
Regal stumbled to his feet and Taz locked him in the Tazmission! Regal backed Taz into the corner, catching
the referee behind Taz. Regal reached
into his tight and grabbed a pair of brass knucks then punched back nailing Taz
in the head, the referee didn't even see it.
Regal pulled out the almost out cold Taz and hit the British Neckbreaker
for the one ... two ... THREE! William
Regal steals the win and will go onto NGW Initial Assault as one of the four
men to compete in the one-night tournament for the World Heavyweight Title! WINNER: William Regal in 8:06. Rating: *** 1/2 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'Marvelous' Marc Mero (with Rena Mero)... COACH: "Marc
Mero, its been quite some time since we've seen you and your wife in the world
of wrestling. Where have you been and
why have you come back?" MARC: "Its
simple, Coach, I grew tired of the lack of competition and Rena became way too
big of a star for our former boss to handle.
So we waited, we bided our time and now its time for the Marvelous one
to return to wrestling." Al Snow walks up
to Marc and Rena... SNOW: "Cut
the crap, Mero, the reason you've been gone was because you sucked and you
still suck! Your wife here has got your
so whipped and everyone can see it.
[Snow turns to Rena and lifts up Head]
We Want Head!" Match #5: Marc Mero v. Al Snow - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title Tournament - Semi-Finals.
"Superstar" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as 'Marvelous'
Marc Mero headed out with his wife Rena Mero.
The crowd didn't like these two pompous asses at all. Then, "Breathe" by Prodigy blared
over the speakers as Al Snow (with Head) made his way out to the ring to chants
of "WE WANT HEAD!" Mero showed
some ringrust but also took a lot of chances like he used to early in his
career. Snow kept things on the mat and
outwrestled Mero. The ending would see
Mero go for a TKO but Snow dropped out and hit a superkick. Rena grabbed Head and got up on the apron
distracting Snow. Marc charged at Snow
but he moved and Mero hit Rena. Snow

and Scorpio are back together after many years apart and ready to tear up the
tag team scene. Then, "You Know
It's Hard" by Crystal Method sounded over the speakers as Evan Karagias
and Jamie Knoble headed out to the ring.
Karagias challenged Scorpio to a dance off. Karagias did his 'riding the cadalliac' then
Scorpio started to do the robot. Knoble
jumped Scorpio while Karagias jumped Sandman to kick things off. This would be a decent back and forth tag
team match with Sandman's wild brawling being a bit out of place. The ending would see Scorpio slam down
Karagias and hit a running somersault legdrop for two. Scorpio hit a spinwheel kick Karagias then
headed up for the Scorpio Splash but Knoble came over and crotched Scorpio up

pissed off. The Main Event is next... Main Event: Steve Austin v. Jeff Jarrett - NGW World
