-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW Ring Wars - January 28 / 2002 -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-== "The Blood,
The Sweat, The Tears" by Machine Head played in background of a series of
stills recapping last night's Initial Assault where Jeff Jarrett became the
first ever NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, The Sandman & Too Cold
Scorpio won the NGW World Tag Team Titles.
Then in the Main Event, it came down to Scott Steiner and Steve Austin
for the NGW World Championship. William
Regal nailed Austin with brass knuckles then Steiner busted him open with a
lead pipe. Steiner followed that up with
a Steiner Recliner to become the first ever NGW World Champion. How will Austin react? Is there an alliance between Regal and
Steiner? All that and more tonight...
"Praise" by Sevendust played in the background of the NGW Ring
Wars opening sequence which featured a montage of various New Generation
Wrestling superstars such as; The Sandman & Too Cold Scorpio, DDP, Chris
Kanyon, The Dudley Boyz, Taz, William Regal, Sabu, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Rob Van
Dam, Scott Steiner, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and more. This is New Generation Wrestling RING WARS... We entered the
arena as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcomed us to NGW Ring Wars and ran down
the lineup for tonight. Nova goes
one-on-one with Jamie Knoble, Danny Doring & Roadkill battle the Jung
Dragons, DDP faces Sabu, Taz takes on Marc Mero, the NGW World Tag Team
Champions The Sandman & Too Cold Scorpio defend against The Dudley Boyz, then
in the Main Event, William Regal squares off against Rob Van Dam. All that and much, much, more tonight on Ring
Wars... Opening Match: Jamie Knoble v. Nova. "You Know Its Hard" by Crystal
Method sounded over the speakers as Jamie Knoble headed out to the ring. Then, "Intergalactic" by Beastie
Boys blasted over the speakers as Nova made his way out to the ring. Knoble was on the losing end of a six man
tables match last night at Initial Assault while Nova didn't wrestle on the
card. Nova was well rested and fresh so
he took it to Knoble. The ending would
see Nova go for a Spin Doctor on Knoble but Knoble shoved him off and hit a
dropkick. Knoble went up top and came off
with a flying dropkick for two. Knoble
went for a running lariat but Nova countered it with a Novacaine for 2
1/2. Evan Karagias ran out onto the
apron but Nova turned and dropped Evan with a right hand. Nova turned around and Knoble scooped him up,
spiking Nova with the Tombstone Piledriver! Knoble covered Nova for the one ...
two ... THREE! Jamie Knoble picks up the
singles win with a little assist from his tag team partner. WINNER: Jamie Knoble in 5:04. Rating: ** 3/4 [backstage] The Coach was
standing outside in the parking garage... COACH: "We're
out here waiting on the arrival of the NGW World Champion, Scott
Steiner..." A set of lights
was seen and as they came closer we saw that it was a black pickup truck! It pulled up and out stepped 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin. Austin went in the back
and grabbed a flat of Budweiser. Coach
tried to get some comments... COACH: "Stone
Cold ... Stone Cold ..." AUSTIN: "You
don't want me to take out my frustrations on you, do you, Coach? What?
I didn't think so. Now get the
hell out of my face cause I've got some drinking to do..." Match #2: Danny Doring & Roadkill v. Jung
Dragons. "Super Bon Bon" by
Soul Coughing blared over the speakers as 'Dastardly' Danny Doring &
Roadkill made their way out to the ring.
Then, "I Don't Mind" by Drain STH sounded over the speakers as
Kaz Hayashi and Jimmy Yang, the Jung Dragons, headed out to the ring. Doring and Roadkill got a hard fought win
over the Dragons on the first ever Ring Wars.
Tonight, the Dragons get a chance to even the score. The ending would see Kaz Hayashi go for a
Slingshot DDT on Roadkill but Roadkill countered it with a powerslam. Roadkill went up for the the Amish Splash but
Yang came over and crotched Roadkill up top.
Doring came in but Yang caught him with a backdrop sending Doring out of
the ring. Yang and Hayashi went up top
and hit a double superplex on Roadkill.
Doring pulled Yang out of the ring and brawled with him. Kaz then planted Roadkill with his Inverted
Bulldog for the one ... two ... THREE!
The Jung Dragons even the score with Doring & Roadkill. WINNERS: Jung Dragons in 5:10. Rating: * 3/4 [backstage] Lillian Garcia
got some comments from William Regal about the Main Event tonight against Rob
Van Dam and his role in Scott Steiner becoming NGW World Champion... REGAL: "How
dare you question my integrity? You
filthy disgusting wench. William Regal
is a man of class, honor and dignity. I
was simply out there last night to make sure that the right man won and the
right man did walk out the World Champion.
Scott Steiner, sees all you people for what you are, trash. You're trash just like Rob Van Dam. RVD, you're real popular with all that trash
and I'm positive they'd love to see you beat me right here tonight but not on
my watch, sunshine! You will not bismerch
the good name of William Regal, and you will fall like all the rest!" Match #3: Diamond Dallas Page v. Sabu. "Helping Hand" by StainD brought a
groggy Diamond Dallas Page out to the ring.
DDP looked out of it after the head dropping, choke out, beating at the
hands of Taz less then 24 hours ago.
Then, "Little Crazy" by Fight blasted over the speakers as
'The Human Highlight Reel' Sabu made his way out to the ring along with Bill
Alfonso. Sabu defeated Saturn in a hard
fought battle last night so he wasn't at 100 % either. The ending would see Sabu go for a
huracanrana but Page countered it with a liger bomb for two. Page hit some punches then went for a
spinning clothesline but Sabu ducked and hit a dropkick to the knee. Sabu went for a fisherman buster but DDP
dropped out, spun Sabu around and went for a Diamond Cutter but Sabu shoved DDP
off into the ropes and caught him with a DDT.
Alfonso passed Sabu a chair and Sabu hit the Triple Jump Moonsault on DDP
for the one ... two ... THREE! Sabu takes a good win over DDP. Two losses in two nights, not a good thing
for Mr Page. WINNER: Sabu in 6:54. Rating: ** ["Come Out And Play" by Offspring] The enigmatic and
mysterious Raven walked out of the entrance along with Chris Kanyon, Devon Storm
and Scott Vick. Raven walked into the
ring with his 'flock' and slouched down in the corner with a microphone... RAVEN: "The
minions ... the masses ... the public have been waiting on the edge of their
seats whether it be here in the arena or at home on their dust filled sofas to
hear what I have to say. To find out the
reason that these three men stand in the ring with me. It all goes back to when I was a child, when my
mother told me what to do, when to do it and where to do it. I'm an adult now and when New Generation
Wrestling signed me to a six figure per year contract, they knew what they were
getting into. Or did they? Maybe they wanted me to come out here and
wrestle like everyone else. Just be a
part of Stone Cold Steve Austin show. Settle into a spot like everyone else, fall
into line but like our beloved World Champion, Scott Steiner, I refuse to
follow your rules. I refuse to follow
the trends of society, I refuse to be sucked in by the worthless adoration of
the people. I will do what I want, to
who I want and when I want. I will
wrestle when I feel like it and I will make my own rules. You can hate me, you can spit at me, you can
throw garbage at me, I don't care, you mean nothing to me. That brings me to what Joey Styles has dubbed
my 'Flock'. Well as they say, Joey
Styles, birds of a feather flock together.
These three men have been shunned and abused for too long by you people
and by wrestling promoters. I ask you
... Who bettah than Kanyon? Nobody. Who's more Dangerous then Devon Storm? Nobody.
Who's sicker then Scott Vick?
NOBODY! And who is forced to give
them an opportunity? NGW. Or else they will never hear the end of
it..." ["Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson] Saturn walked out
of the entrance with a microphone in hand... SATURN:
"Raven! When you put your
hands on me and you tried to lure me back into your Flock, you made the biggest
mistake of your career!" RAVEN:
"Saturn ... I understand what you're going through because I too
had to overcome people trying to make me into something I'm not. To put this in term's that even you can
understand, lets just pretend life is like a game of cards. You and I have been dealt the same deck of
cards, Saturn. We're not playing with
regular cards like everyone else, our cards are like explosives. As we built a friendship and a trust, we
turned over more and more cards until one day when something happened and all
the cards were swept off the table and it blew up in our face. Saturn, lets put the cards back in place,
lets join together again and show just how great we can be." SATURN: "SHUT
UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! I'm sick of your
rambling nonsense! There's only one
thing I want from you Raven and that's you in the ring!" RAVEN:
"You're making a big mistake, Saturn! Face it, your career has gone nowhere been
into the toilet after you walked away from me.
You're nothing without me! You
want me in the ring? You don't deserve
to wrestle me but you can wrestle ... Kanyon here tonight. And when you realize how much you need me,
I'll be waiting. So it was written, so
it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven,
NEVERMORE!" Match #4: Marc Mero v. Taz. "Superstar" by Saliva blared over
the speakers as 'Marvelous' Marc Mero made his way out to the ring on his
own. Then, "War Machine Survive
Mix" blasted over the speakers as 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz headed
out to the ring. Mero shadow boxed then
wanted to trade punches with Taz. Taz
stepped forward and Mero sucker punched him but Taz just held his jaw and shook
his head. Mero went for another left
hook but Taz ducked and hit a T-Bone Tazplex!
Mero stumbled to his feet and Taz grabbed him in the Tazmission! Mero quickly tapped out! Taz threw Mero down and walked out of the
ring. Taz has destroyed Marc Mero... WINNER: Taz in 0:14. Rating: * [backstage] The Coach was
still out in the parking lot, a white limousine was pulling up... COACH: "This
must be the World Champion, Scott Steiner..." The limo pulled
up and the Coach opened the door then had a strange look on his face as out of
the limousine stepped ... Shawn Michaels. COACH: "Shawn
Michaels? Shawn Michaels ... What're you
doing here?" MICHAELS:
"That's a tough question, Coach ... You'll just have to wait and
see like everyone else. I'll make my
reason for being here known once the World Champion arrives..." Shawn Michaels
walked into the building leaving Coach and everyone else stunned... Match #5: The Dudley Boyz v. The Sandman & Too Cold
Scorpio (c) - NGW World Tag Team Titles.
"Dead Cell" by Papa Roach blared over the speakers as The
Dudley Boyz made their way out to the ring for this big tag team matchup. The Dudleyz won a six person tables match
last night. Then, "Enter
Sandman" by Metallica hit as the NGW World Tag Team Champions, 'The
Extreme Icon' The Sandman and Too Cold Scorpio headed out to the ring. Sandman and Scorpio got past Maximum Force
last night to become the first ever NGW World Tag Team Champions but just one
night later they've got to put the belts on the line against one of the best
tag teams in all of wrestling, The Dudley Boyz.
This match broke down into a wild brawl in no time. The ending would see Sandman go for a
Heinekanrana on Buh Buh Ray Dudley buy Buh Buh countered it with a huge super
bomb! Buh Buh covered Sandman for the
one ... two ... THR ... Scorpio breaks the pin!
D-Von came in and caught Scorpio with a reverse neckbreaker then kicked
him out of the ring. The Sandman
staggered to his feet and The Dudley Boyz lined him up for the 3D but Dawn
Marie and Maximum Force had come out.
Buh Buh Ray got distracted, and Sandman caught D-Von with a DDT for the
one ... two ... THREE! The Sandman and
Too Cold Scorpio hang onto the World Tag Team Titles. WINNERS: The Sandman and Too Cold Scorpio in 5:58. Rating: 1/2* (The Sandman and Too Cold Scorpio retained the NGW World
Tag Team Titles.) After the match,
Simon Diamond and Swinger shoved past Buh Buh Ray Dudley and jumped The
Sandman! Maximum Force didn't intend to
cost The Dudleyz the match, they wanted to get at the World Tag Team
Champions. Buh Buh Ray came over and
planted Swinger with a Buh Buh Bomb. The
Sandman then hit a White Russian Legsweep on Simon Diamond! Sandman & Scorpio and The Dudley Boyz had
a brief staredown and agreed to meet again somewhere down the line... [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from Rob Van Dam... RVD: "Last
night, Scott Steiner, any way you break it down I had you beat and you know
it. More importantly all the fans know
it. But you knocked me out with a steel
chair and that's cool. That's cool with
me but I just hope when I get a title shot at you and when I do beat you, and I
will, that you're cool with that. As far
as that British snob William Regal goes?
You're right, all these people want to see their favorite wrestler ...
R-V-D ... beat your ass tonight. You say
it won't I happen ... I say I will." We cut to the
parking garage to see a black limousine pull up and out stepped Midajah then
the NGW World Champion, Scott Steiner.
BIG POPPA PUMP IS IN THE BUILDING! Match #6: Chris Kanyon v. Saturn. "Immune" by Godsmack blared over
the speakers as Chris Kanyon headed out to the ring. We saw Kanyon last night and earlier tonight
as a member of Raven's 'Flock'. Raven
backed out of a challenge from Saturn and instead sent Kanyon to do his dirty
work. Then, "Beautiful People"
by Marilyn Manson blasted over the speakers as Saturn headed out to the ring
looking disturbed and pissed off. Saturn
took his frustrations out on Kanyon but his anger got the best of him at times,
allowing Kanyon to take control. The
ending would see Kanyon hit a swinging fisherman suplex on Saturn for two. Kanyon went for another one but Saturn
blocked it and hit a swinging fisherman suplex of his own for two. Saturn went for the Death Valley Driver but
Kanyon dropped out and hit an inverted DDT.
Kanyon went up top and came off with a flying legdrop but Saturn rolled
out of the way. Saturn tossed Kanyon
with a release northern lights. Saturn
signalled for the Death Valley Driver then picked up Kanyon and spiked him with
the DVD! Saturn covered Kanyon for the
one ... Raven runs out ... two ... Raven pulls the referee out and knocks him
out. WINNER: Saturn via DQ in 5:43. Rating: * Then, Saturn was
livid and ran out of the ring after Raven.
Raven ran around the ring then inside.
Saturn came in and Kanyon dodged in front of him. Kanyon and Raven began to double team Saturn
until SABU hit the ring with a chair and cleaned house on Raven and
Kanyon! Sabu has come to the aid of the
man he fought just 24 hours ago! Sabu
extended his hand to Saturn and Saturn shook it. The two threatened Raven and Kanyon as they
backed away... [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Stone Cold's locker room, the door was open and it was full of empty beer
cans but no Austin... Main Event: William Regal v. Rob Van Dam. It was then time for our Main Event match of
the evening as "British Doom" by Jim Johnston blared over the speakers
and William Regal headed out to the ring.
The fans hated Regal even more now after he helped screw Stone Cold out
of the World Championship last night.
Then, "Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The
Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam made his way out to the ring. Regal looked at Van Dam with distain and as
RVD did his thumbs pose, Regal jumped him from behind to start the match. Regal hammered van Dam with forearms but Van
Dam countered with a legsweep on Regal.
RVD went for a roundhouse kick but Regal ducked it and hit a release
german suplex for two. Regal stomped
away on Van Dam then drilled him with a kneelift for two. Regal pounded down RVD with forearms in the
corner but Van Dam fought back. Van Dam
threw Regal into the corner and hit some punches then backflipped and speared
Regal in the corner. Van Dam followed
that up with a ropeflip moonsault for two.
Regal and Van Dam went back and forth in a clash of styles. Regal would try and slow RVD and keep him on
the mat with his wide array of submissions.
The closing moments of the match would see Regal go for a double
underhook power bomb but Van Dam countered it with a frankensteiner then hit a
rolling thunder for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Regal kicked out. Van Dam slammed down Regal and headed up top
for the Five Star Frog Splash but Regal rolled out of the way! Regal went into his tights and got the brass
knuckles. Regal lined up Van Dam but Van
Dam ducked and Regal hit the referee in the shoulder. Van Dam kicked Regal then grabbed the knux
from him. Regal stumbled to his feet and
RVD drilled him with the knux. Van Dam
went up top and came off with the Five Star Frog Splash! The referee crawled over to count the one ...
two ... THREE! Rob Van Dam uses Regal's
brass knuckles against him to take the win! WINNER: Rob Van Dam in 11:59. Rating: *** 3/4 [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Scott Steiner heading out towards the ring.
The World Champion is NEXT... We then returned
to the ring from our final break... ["I Am Hated" by SlipKnot] The first ever
NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner headed out to the ring along
with Midajah. Steiner posed a bit then
took a microphone... STEINER: "Big
Poppa Pump is the World Champion ... HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME! Where my freaks at? Where my freaks at? I don't see many freaks here tonight, all I
see is trailer park trash! All I see is
a bunch of ugly guys who can't satisfy their ladies like the Big Bad Booty
Daddy could. And a lot of you broads
need to lose a few pounds before you could ever get a piece of the World
Champ! Last night, not only did I
desimate Rob Van Dam, I destroyed 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin all on my own! RVD and Stone Cold didn't even have a chance
when they met the largest arms in the world!
I am the greatest wrestler ever ... I am the greatest athelete in the
world ... I am everything all you trailer park trash dream you could be but you
can't because there is only one Big Poppa Pump.
Nobody in this promotion ... nobody in the world can take this World
Championship from me so bow down to the largest arms in the world, bow down to
the genetic freak, bow down to the Big Bad Booty Daddy, bow down to Big Poppa
Pump cause there's nothing finer then Scott Steiner!" ["Hell Yeah" by Disturbed] Scott Steiner's
ranting was brought to an abrupt hault when the glass shattered. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin walked out of the
entrance towards the ring, visibly drunk and pissed off. Austin pulled off his short, threw it down,
walked right into the ring and unloaded on Steiner with right hands! Steiner managed to come back with some
punches of his own as these two slugged it out.
William Regal quickly ran down into the ring and jumped on Austin. Steiner and Regal double teamed the Rattlesnake,
assaulting him. Wait a minute ... Rob
Van Dam hit the ring, pulling Regal away and brawling with him. After a few more moments of brawling, a swarm
of NGW officials flooded the ring to seperate the four men. Austin and RVD kept trying to get loose but
everyone stopped when they heard... ["Oh ... Oh ... Shawn!"] 'The Heartbreak
Kid' Shawn Michaels stepped out of the entrance with a microphone in hand... MICHAELS:
"Somebody call the party police because HBK is back in town! You're all asking yourselves, what the hell
is Shawn Michaels doing in New Generation Wrestling? Am I making a comeback? Am I returning to the ring? The answer to that is ... no. So what am I doing here? Well you see its real simple ... For most of
my career, I rebelled against authority, I didn't want anyone telling me what
to do, I spit in the face of those in power but oh, how the tables have turned
because now I find myself in a position of power as the Commissioner of New
Generation Wrestling. If you're expecting
me to be the typical power hungary commissioner who abuses his power and holds
wrestlers down ... don't. When I
accepted this job, I accepted only because I saw New Generation Wrestling as
the place to be. This is going to be the
greatest wrestling promotion in this country and the world. All I want to do is make sure that the fans
get the matches they want. That brings
me to you four in the ring ... You can't seem to keep your hands off each other
so next week, live on Ring Wars, it will be William Regal teaming with the NGW
World Champion Big Poppa Pump against 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam and ...
'STONE COLD' STEVE AUSTIN!" HBK's music hit
as Michaels left. Shawn Michaels is the
NGW Commissioner and next week a huge tag team Main Event with Scott Steiner
and William Regal against Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam! ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -Marc Mero and Rena Mero were let go last night after
