-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW Ring Wars - February 4 / 2002 -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==
"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 with Paul Heyman welcoming everyone to the show then sending us to the
ring where Joey Styles was standing... STYLES:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming the NGW World
Tag Team Champions .... TOO COLD SCORPIO and THE SANDMAN!" ["Enter Sandman" by Metallica] The NGW World Tag
Team Champions, 'The Extreme Icon' The Sandman and Too Cold Scorpio headed out
to the ring. Sandman downed a cold one
with the fans and smashed the can on his head before getting into the ring... STYLES:
"Sandman ... Scorpio ... I know your history but a lot of fans
don't know how to completely opposite people like the two of you got together
and became such a great team..." SCORPIO: "It
went down a little something like this ... back in Philly a few years ago, we
were wrestling in the same place and after the show one night and after many
cold ones we proceeded to tear the town down!" SANDMAN:
"There ain't many people in this world that can keep up in the bar
with The Sandman but I found one in Too Cold.
The rest as they say is history." STYLES: "Now
I understand you requested this time to make some sort of a challenge..." SANDMAN: "We
wanna throw out a challenge to anyone and everyone that wants to try and take
these World Tag Team Titles from us at the pay-per-view. We don't care how big or small you are, all
we want is a fight..." STYLES: "Well
there you have ... WAIT A MINUTE! LOOK
OUT!" Out of the crowd
had come, Bradshaw and Faarooq, The Acolytes!
The Acolytes jumped into the ring and blindsided the World Tag Team
Champions from behind. Bradshaw knocked
down Scorpio with a big boot. Sandman
was getting the better of Faarooq but turned around into a vicious Clothesline
From Hell courtesy of Bradshaw. Scorpio
got to his feet but Faarooq spiked him with a Spinebuster! Bradshaw picked up the microphone... BRADSHAW:
"You stupid punks ain't never been in a real fight until you've
fought The Acolytes! We're gonna come to
that pay-per-view and take those damn titles right from ya because The Acolytes
aren't here to be funny ... to be cool ... or to please you stupid people! We're here to beat somebody's ass! And that somebody is you two!" FAAROOQ: "We
will beat the living hell out of you two punks and leave you in a pool of your
own blood!" "El Cu
Cuy" by Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as The Acolytes walked up
the ramp to the dressing room and we went to our first break... We returned from
break to Styles and Heyman at ringside as they commented on The Acolytes
showing up in NGW and then hyped up our big Main Event signed by Commissioner
Shawn Michaels last week ... 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and 'The Whole F'N Show'
Rob Van Dam teaming up to face William Regal and the NGW World Champion, 'Big
Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner... Opening Match: Evan Karagias v. Nova. "You Know It's Hard" by Crystal
Method sounded over the speakers as Evan Karagias made his way out to the ring
for our first matchup. Then,
"Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys blared over the speakers as Nova
headed out. Last week, Evan Karagias
played a part in his tag team partner, Jamie Knoble, beating Nova in singles
action. Nova, rightfully pissed off went
to Shawn Michaels and got this matchup against Evan. A solid match to kick off the action. The ending would see Karagias hit a
springboard clothesline on Nova then go up top and come with a 450 Splash! Evan covered Nova for the one ... two ... THR
... NO! Nova got a shoulder up! Evan
couldn't believe it. Nova staggered to
his feet and Evan went for a clothesline but Nova countered that with a
Novacaine for two. Nova called for the
Kryptonite Krunch but was distracted as he saw Jamie Knoble heading out towards
the ring. Evan came from behind and
dumped Nova with a backdrop suplex. Evan
went up top and came off with the Tidal Wave for the one ... two ...
THREE! Evan Karagias gets the win over
Nova! WINNER: Evan Karagias in 5:35. Rating: ** 3/4 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from the NGW World Champion, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott
Steiner and William Regal about tonight's big tag team Main Event... REGAL: "That
bloody fool, Shawn Michaels, thinks he's done something great by making myself
and Scott Steiner team up against Stone Cold and RVD. Well wipe that smug grin off your face,
sunshine. What you've done is guranteed
us another victory because you see, we can co-exist ... Austin and Van Dam,
cannot." STEINER: "I
don't see the point of this match ... I've already beaten Stone Cold Steve
Redneck's ass ... I've already beaten Rob Van Dumbass. I wiped the ring with both those pieces of
trailer park trash in one night. All I
got to say to Shawn Michaels is ... stay outta my way or I'll snap you like the
twig that you are. Speaking of snapping,
my good friend William Regal and the Big Bad Booty Daddy will snap Stone Cold
and RVD's necks. Can't nobody stop the
largest arms in the world ... I'm the greatest athlete in the world, a genetic
freak, Big Poppa Pump, the World Champion ... No one will ever beat me!" Match #2: Simon Diamond v. Buh Buh Ray Dudley. "Simon Says" by Drain STH blasted
over the speakers as Dawn Marie led Simon Diamond out to the ring. Then, "Dead Cell" by Papa Roach
blared over the speakers as Buh Buh Ray Dudley made his way out to the
ring. Last week, Maximum Force cost The
Dudley Boyz a match against the World Tag Team Champions by mistake. Tonight, Buh Buh Ray was looking for revenge
against Simon Diamond in one-on-one action.
The ending would see Simon go for a cobra clutch suplex but Buh Buh
elbowed him off and hit a side suplex.
Buh Buh setup Simon for a power bomb but Dawn Marie came in the ring for
behind and began slapping Buh Buh. Buh
Buh just turned around and grabbed Dawn Marie by the hair and started shaking
his head. The referee got in between
them, forcing Dawn out of the ring.
Simon drilled Buh Buh low then planted him with the Simonizer for the
one ... two ... THREE! Simon Diamond has
stolen a win over Buh Buh Ray Dudley! WINNER: Simon Diamond in 5:58. Rating: * 1/4 Afterwards,
Swinger hit the ring and jumped on Buh Buh Ray Dudley, double teaming him with
Simon, trying to send a message. D-Von
Dudley hustled out to even up the odds as these two tag teams brawled it
out. That was until... ["Hell Yeah" by Disturbed] 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin headed out of the entrance with a steel chair in hand. Austin went right into the ring and tied off
drilling Swinger in the head. Austin
then turned around and blasted Buh Buh Ray Dudley in the head. D-Von shoved Austin but Austin kicked D-Von
and planted him with a Stunner! Simon
jumped on Austin but Austin drilled Simon low then laid him out with a Stone
Cold Stunner! Austin paced around the
ring and grabbed a microphone... AUSTIN: "If
you came here tonight to have a good time with Stone Cold Steve Austin gimme a
HELL YEAH! (HELL YEAH!) Well I hate to
dissapoint you but *EH EH* The fun and
games are over and you have one man to blame and that man is Scott
Steiner. Ya see, Stone Cold Steve Austin
tried to lighten up a bit ... and while it was a lot of fun to come out here
and make jokes, there's a man walking around as World Champion and that man
isn't Stone Cold Steve Austin. I'm not
gonna stand for that, I'm not gonna sit for it, run for it, do anything for it
because that belt belongs to Stone Cold.
Ya see, Scott Steiner and William Regal, those two sumbitches made the
biggest mistakes of their lives when they pissed off Stone Cold. If there's one thing you don't do, its piss
me off, son. I'll give you one piece of
advice ... kiss the good lord goodbye because from now on your ass belongs to
Stone Cold Steve Austin. So if I've
gotta team with RVD to get at you then so be it. I've just one thing I wanna ask of Scott
Steiner and William Regal ... don't be angry when I whip your asses, just be
glad that you're not dead and that's bottom line 'cause Stone Cold Said
So!" Match #3: Diamond Dallas Page & Danny Doring &
Roadkill v. Al Snow & Jung Dragons.
"Helping Hand" by StainD blared over the speakers as 'DDP'
Diamond Dallas Page headed out to the ring along with Danny Doring &
Roadkill for this six man tag. Then,
"Breathe" by Prodigy blared over the speakers as Al Snow and the Jung
Dragons made their way out. This would
be a solid action packed six man tag.
The ending would see Al Snow hit an ocean cyclone suplex on DDP for
two. Snow went for a superkick but Page
moved then tried a Diamond Cutter but Snow shoved him off into the ropes then
scooped him up and planted him with the Snow Plow for the one ... two ... THR
... Doring breaks the cover! This
brought in the Jung Dragons and things erupted into a pier six brawl. Kaz and Yang dumped Roadkill over the top
with a double clothesline. Kaz jumped
onto Roadkill with a plancha but Roadkill caught him! Yang then dove over taking both men
down. Doring went for a Bareback on Snow
but Snow blocked it and nailed Doring with a big headbutt sending him out of
the ring. Snow turned around into a
Diamond Cutter from DDP. DDP covered
Snow for the one ... two ... THREE!
Diamond Dallas Page gets the win for his team! WINNERS: Diamond Dallas Page, Danny Doring and Roadkill
in 5:53. Rating: * [backstage] The Coach got
comments from 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam... VAN DAM: "Scott
Steiner and William Regal sound confident ... too confident because really,
they're scared. Steiner, you're running
around making all these big claims about how you're the greatest athlete in the
world? That's funny, last time I checked
your name wasn't ROB VAN DAM. As for
Stone Cold Steve Austin ... For one night, we can be cool and coexist if it
means getting the two of you in the ring.
Oh and to our new Commissioner, Shawn Michaels, you were the Icon, the
Main Event, the Showstopper but RVD is the WHOLE F'N SHOW!" Match #4: Jeff Jarrett (c) v. Sabu - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title. "Cowboy" by
Kid Rock blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight
Champion, 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to the ring with a guitar in
hand. Then, "Little Crazy" by
Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led out 'The Human Highlight
Reel' Sabu. This would be Jarrett's
first title defense since winning the vacant title at Initial Assault. Sabu took control early but missed an Asai
Moonsault and Jarrett took over. Jarrett
slowed Sabu down and kept him on the mat, out wrestling the daredevil. The ending would see Jarrett hit a single arm
DDT on Sabu for two. Jarrett took Sabu
up top for a superplex but Sabu shoved him off and hit an Arabian Facebuster
for 2 1/2. Fonzie passed Sabu a chair
for the Triple Jump Moonsault ... Devon Storm ran into the ring but Sabu turned
and drilled Storm with the chair. The
referee was distracted getting Storm out of the ring, he didn't see Chris
Kanyon sneak in and drill Sabu with a Flatliner! Jarrett covered for the one ... two ...
THREE! Jeff Jarrett retains the NGW US
Heavyweight Title thanks to the Flock. WINNER: Jeff Jarrett in 8:21. Rating: ** 1/4 (Jeff Jarrett retained the NGW United States Heavyweight
Title.) ["The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson] A pissed off
Saturn stormed out to the ring in his gear and grabbed a microphone... SATURN:
"RAVEN! I know you're back
there somewhere. I know you're
watching. Get out here right now and
face me like a man!" ["(sic)" by SlipKnot] 'Sick' Scott Vick
walked out of the entrance instead... SATURN:
"Raven, you coward! If I
gotta run through all of your braindead goons to get to you then so be it
because sooner or later you ... will be ... ELIMINATED!" Match #5: Saturn v. Scott Vick. A referee ran out into the ring as Scott Vick
walked in. Saturn waved Vick in and
jumped on him as he came in kicking off this impromptu match. Much like last week, Raven has dodged Saturn
and sent in one of the 'Flock' to do his bidding. Saturn took his frustrations out on
Vick. His anger made him make a few
mistakes which Vick capitilized on. The
ending would see Vick go for the Cure but Saturn countered it with a backdrop then
went for the Rings Of Saturn but Vick was in the ropes. Saturn picked up Vick for brain buster but
Vick dropped down the back and hit a reverse DDT. Vick headed up top and went for a flying
clothesline but Saturn ducked. Saturn
picked up Vick and spiked him with the Death Valley Driver for the one ... two
... THREE! Saturn takes care of Scott Vick. WINNER: Saturn in 5:41. Rating: * 3/4 Afterwards, Raven
came out of nowhere, spun Saturn around and spiked him with an Evenflow
DDT. Scott Vick got up and Raven smacked
him then spiked him with an Evenflow DDT... We then cut to an
unusual promo... '24 Karat Pictures
Presents ... A Shattered Dreams Production ... GOLDUST.' GOLDUST:
"Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real?
What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the
difference between the dream world and the real world? ... Morpheus, The
Matrix, 1999. I assure you this is no
dream ... Sean Connery taught us to never say never again ... I turned this
bizaree world upside down once and for years, I've been waiting ... Waiting for
the right moment to make my return. But
why now? He knows why ... He knows what
he's done and he will be exposed. Until
we speak again ... He along with the rest of the world will not forget ... they
will remember the name of GOLDUST!" Match #6: Chris Kanyon v. Taz. "Immune" by Godsmack blasted over
the speakers as Chris Kanyon headed out to the ring. We saw Kanyon earlier tonight when he was
instrumental in Sabu losing to US Champion, Jeff Jarrett. Then, "War Machine" blared over the
speakers as 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz slowly walked out to the ring. Taz has been on a Path Of Rage in NGW,
ripping through the competition. The
winner of this match will go to NGW Blazing Glory to challenge Jeff Jarrett for
the NGW United States Heavyweight Title.
This would be a really good match between Kanyon and Taz. Kanyon countered many of Taz's suplexes and
did a good job of avoiding them. The
ending would see Taz take Kanyon up top but Kanyon shoved Taz down and hit a
rocker dropper off the top for 2 1/2.
Kanyon picked up Taz for the Flatliner but Taz blocked it and dumped
Kanyon with a Head & Arm Tazplex!
Taz waited on Kanyon and went for the Tazmission but Kanyon back kicked
Taz low to break it then planted him with a Flatliner. Bill Alfonso was out of the entrance blowing
his whistle which distracted Kanyon.
Fonzie tried to get in the ring but the referee blocked him. Sabu came out of the crowd and into the
ring. Sabu sent Kanyon into the corner
and hit an Air Sabu! Kanyon stumbled out
and Taz locked Kanyon in the Tazmission.
Sabu left the ring, the referee turned around and saw Kanyon tap out to
the Tazmission! Sabu has gained revenge
on Kanyon while Taz will go to Blazing Glory to challenge Jeff Jarrett for the
US Heavyweight Title! WINNER: Taz in 6:48. Rating: *** [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Shawn Michaels walking through the back towards the ring. Is Shawn Michaels coming out to the
ring? Our Main Event is next... Main Event: Steve Austin & Rob Van Dam v. William
Regal & Scott Steiner. "Sexy
Boy" sounded over the speakers as the NGW Commissioner Shawn Michaels
headed out and took a seat on commentary.
Michaels said he wanted a front row seat for this one. "Hell Yeah" by Disturbed blared
over the speakers as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin headed out to the ring first and
took to the four corners.
"Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as his tag team
partner for tonight, 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam made his way out to the
ring. Then, "British Doom" by
Jim Johnston brought out William Regal.
"I Am Hated" by SlipKnot blasted over the speakers as Midajah
led out the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner. These four men's paths have crossed ever
since the first night of NGW Ring Wars leading up to Shawn Michaels making this
big tag team main event. The question is
... can Stone Cold and RVD co-exist because just two weeks ago Austin gave RVD
a Stunner. Austin and Van Dam did work
well together and co-existed but Regal and Steiner worked better together and
took control of the match. The closing
moments of the match would see Steiner take Van Dam up top for a belly-to-belly
superplex but Van Dam punched out sending Steiner down to the canvas. Van Dam came off with the Five Star Frog
Splash! Regal came in and planted Van
Dam with a British Neckbreaker! Austin
tried to come in but the referee blocked him.
Van Dam and Steiner crawled over and made tags. Austin came in like a house of fire, taking
down Regal and Steiner. Regal ducked a
clothesline but Austin rebounded off the ropes with a Thesz Press and
fist'o'fire! Austin pounded on Steiner
but Regal tripped up Austin and Steiner hit double underhook power bomb! Van Dam came back in and kicked Steiner but
Regal came from behind and hit a german suplex.
Regal went for a double underhook power bomb on RVD but RVD countered it
with a slingshot, Regal stumbled around into a Stunner from Austin! Steiner caught Austin with a full nelson
slam. Van Dam hit a roundhouse kick on
Steiner sending him over the top to the outside. Van Dam jumped onto Steiner with a running
somersault plancha but Steiner moved!
Austin and Regal stumbled to their feet, Austin got the better of a
slugfest then hit another Stunner!
Austin covered for the one ... two ... THR ... Steiner pulls the referee
out of the ring! Steiner got his lead
pipe from under the ring and headed into the ring. Austin blocked Steiner and pounded on
him. Regal grabbed Austin from behind
and Steiner went for a pipe shot but Austin moved and Steiner knocked out
Regal! Van Dam came back in with a chair
and went to waffle Steiner but Steiner moved and RVD hit Austin! The referee came back in and grabbed the chair
from Van Dam. Steiner went for a pipe
shot on Van Dam but RVD moved and Steiner nailed the referee. Numerous officials ran out trying to break up
this melee, ruling it a no contest... WINNER: No Contest in 11:05. Rating: ** 3/4 As the show
ended, Shawn Michaels said on commentary that he'll figure out a way to fix
this next week... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW has Blazing Glory on February 24th, 2002 from The
