-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW Ring Wars - February 25 / 2002 -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-== We opened with
stills from last night's pay-per-view extravaganza, Blazing Glory, where 'The
Dark Angel' Vampiro made his NGW debut teaming with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin
to defeat William Regal and the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott
Steiner inside a Steel Cage. The match
also saw an injured Rob Van Dam come through the crowd, climb the cage and come
off with a Five Star Frog Splash onto Scott Steiner...
"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 Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcoming everyone to the show. We've got some great action tonight with
Saturn versus Chris Kanyon, the new NGW World Tag Team Champions, The Acolytes
defend against Evolution, Taz goes one-on-one with Raven, William Regal faces
'The Dark Angel' Vampiro. All that and
much more tonight on Ring Wars... Opening Match: Diamond Dallas Page v. Balls Mahoney. "Helping Hand" by StainD blared
over the speakers as 'DDP' Diamond Dallas Page headed out to the ring. Then, "Big Balls" by AC/DC blasted
over the speakers as Balls Mahoney made his way out to the ring. Diamond Dallas Page is coming off a hard
fought win over Al Snow last night. A
well rested, Balls Mahoney took control of the match, overpowering and out
brawling Page. The ending would see
Balls dump Page with a power bomb for 2 3/4.
Balls went the Nutcracker Suite but DDP dropped down and went for a
Diamond Cutter but Balls shoved him off into the ropes, scooped Page for the
Nutcracker Suite but again Page dropped out and this time hit the Diamond
Cutter for the one ... two ... THREE!
Once again DDP hits the Diamond Cutter out of nowhere to take a win! WINNER: Diamond Dallas Page in 4:44. Rating: 1/4* [backstage] The NGW World
Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner is shown storming through a hallway
until he found a door marked, 'Commissioner'.
Steiner busted inside where Shawn Michaels was on the phone. HBK put down the phone and stood up... STEINER:
"What the hell was that last night?
First Vampiro shows up like some big shot then Rob Van Dam comes off the
damn cage? No one does that to Big Poppa
Pump. NO ONE. I want Rob Van Dam out in my ring so I can
put him out FOR GOOD." MICHAELS:
"That's just not going to happen tonight because I've forced Rob
Van Dam to stay home but he'll be cleared for action next week.." STEINER: "He
better be here next week or maybe I'll send you to the hospital
instead..." Steiner storms
out while Michaels just shakes his head... Match #2: Danny Doring & Roadkill v. The Dudley
Boyz. "Super Bon Bon" by Soul
Coughing sounded over the speakers as 'Dastardly' Danny Doring & Roadkill
made their way out to the ring. Then,
"Dead Cell" by Papa Roach blasted over the speakers as The Dudley
Boyz headed out to the ring. The Dudleyz
are coming off a solid win over Simon Diamond & Swinger last night where
they also put Dawn Marie through a table.
Buh Buh Ray and D-Von are on the top of their game right now and it
showed as they controlled the match against Doring & Roadkill. The ending would see Doring hit a Panty Drop Elbow
on Buh Buh for the one ... two ... D-Von breaks the pin. Roadkill came in and fought with D-Von. D-Von tossed Roadkill from the ring. Doring went for the Bareback on D-Von but
D-Von shoved Doring off into a Buh Buh Bomb from Buh Buh Ray Dudley! D-Von picked up Doring and The Dudley Boyz
hit the 3D on Doring for the one ... two ... THREE! The Dudley Boyz continue to roll and climb
the ranks of the tag team division! WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz in 4:32. Rating: * 1/2 ["Hell Yeah" by Disturbed] 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin headed out to the ring, took to the four corners, then grabbed a
microphone. Austin had a bandage on his
head as a result of being busted open last night in the cage... AUSTIN: "What
a great night it was last night for Stone Cold Steve Austin. Not only did I get to whip William Regal's
ass in that, I also got to whip Big Poppa Pump's ass. For most people, that would be enough but no,
not for Stone Cold Steve Austin. That
wasn't enough. If you want Stone Cold to
whip some more ass tonight, gimme a HELL YEAH! (HELL YEAH!) What? (HELL
YEAH!) WHAT? (HELL YEAH!)
Then that's exactly what I plan on doing. I saw Scott Steiner bust into the
Commissioner's office earlier demanding to get his hands on RVD. Apparently, RVD isn't here tonight so I've
got a question for Big Poppa Pump. Would
you be willing to settle for Stone Cold Steve Austin? I know, I know, I don't do any of those Five
Star Frog Splashes or split legged moonsaults or rolling thunders, but could
you settle for a match with plain old Stone Cold tonight?" ["I Am Hated" by Slipknot] The NGW World
Champion, Scott Steiner walked out of the entrance with a microphone in hand... STEINER: "I
must have scrambled your brains last night when I busted you open because
you've lost your mind. You don't want
any of the largest arms in the world.
You don't want any of the bid bad booty daddy. You don't want none of this!" AUSTIN:
"You've got a point ... can you give me a few seconds to think
about whether or not I want a piece of Big Poppa Pump? ... Ok, I've made a
decision and that decision is ... I want a piece of Scott Steiner's ass!" STEINER: "It
seems like everyone wants a piece of Big Poppa Pump, everyone's gunning for me
because I am the World Champion and the greatest athlete in the world. No one will ever beat me for this title
because while you're all good, you're not a genetic freak. I was created to mesmerize and destroy. How about next week we have a three way match
with you, Vampiro, and Rob Van Dam? The
winner can get a piece of Big Poppa Pump at March Madness! What'd you think
about that, Stone Cold?" AUSTIN: "I
think that sounds good ... I don't care who's ass I gotta beat to get to you
because I'm coming for you and that World Championship and that's the bottom
line ... 'CAUSE STONE COLD SAID SO!" It's set for next
week ... Steve Austin versus Rob Van Dam versus Vampiro with the winner getting
a shot at the NGW World Championship at March Madness... Match #3: Allan Funk v. Too Cold Scorpio. "Psycho Man" by Black Sabbath
blared over the speakers as 'Angry' Allan Funk headed out to the ring making
his NGW debut. Then, "Bad
Intentions" by Dr. Dre blared over the speakers as Too Cold Scorpio headed
out to the ring. Too Cold Scorpio and
his tag team partner, The Sandman dropped the World Tag Team Titles last night
to The Acolytes after Goldust revealed that Sandman was 'him'. With Sandman apparently now having problems
with Goldust, Scorpio was going it on his own here against Allan Funk. The ending would see Scorpio go for a power
bomb but Funk countered it with a small package for two. Funk went for a lariat but Scorpio ducked and
hit a spinning heel kick. Scorpio went
up for a moonsault but Funk rolled out of the way. Funk went for his Revenge Bomb but Scorpio
countered it with a frankensteiner.
Scorpio caught Funk with a tilt-a-whirl slam. Scorpio went up top and came off with the
Tumbleweed for the one ... two ... THREE!
Too Cold Scorpio picks up a hard fought win. WINNER: Too Cold Scorpio in 5:33. Rating: * 1/4 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from Saturn... SATURN:
"Raven ... The record books might show that you won last night but
everyone saw me kick your ass. Everyone
saw the coward that you are but its become clear to me that to get you all
alone, I've gotta take your Flock completely out of the picture. I start tonight with Chris Kanyon." Match #4: Chris Kanyon v. Saturn. "Immune" by Godsmack blasted over
the speakers as Chris Kanyon headed out to the ring. Then, "Beautiful People" by Marilyn
Manson blared over the speakers as Saturn made his way out to the ring. Kanyon's coming off a hard fought loss to
Sabu last night while Saturn got robbed and lost to his archrival, Raven. So both these guys were looking to get back
on the winning track. This would be a
good back and forth physical match between Chris Kanyon and Saturn. The ending would see Kanyon hit a thrust kick
on Saturn for two. Kanyon went for a
front-layout suplex but but Saturn dropped out and drilled Kanyon with a few
punches. Saturn spiked Kanyon with a
brain buster for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Kanyon kicked out! Saturn headed up top but Kanyon cut him
off. Kanyon went for a superplex but
Saturn shoved him off down to the mat.
Saturn came off with a flying elbowdrop onto Kanyon for the one ... two
... THR ... NO! Devon Storm ran out but
the referee blocked him. Raven came out
of the crowd, into the ring and spiked Saturn with the Evenflow DDT! Kanyon covered Saturn for the one ... two ...
THREE! Chris Kanyon steals the win over
Saturn thanks to Raven! WINNER: Chris Kanyon in 6:18. Rating: ** We returned to
the ring where Joey Styles was standing with a microphone... STYLES: "Last
night we witnessed the debut of a superstar with worldwide experience. Please join me in welcoming ... The Dark
Angel ... VAMPIRO!" ["Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits] 'The Dark Angel'
Vampiro stalked his way out to the ring to a really good reaction from the
crowd. Vampiro stood in the ring next to
Joey Styles... STYLES:
"Vampiro, first off, welcome to NGW!" VAMPIRO:
"It's great to be here, Joey!" STYLES: "Why
did you chose last night to make your NGW debut?" VAMPIRO:
"Well, Joey Styles, when I look at NGW, I see a promotion that's
going straight to the top. I see a
promotion with great wrestlers and great competition. This is the place for me, this is the place
that I want to prove just what The Dark Angel is all about. What a better way to prove that then to start
at the top. Stone Cold Steve Austin
needed a partner so I stepped in. I
can't describe the rush of adrenaline it was to get into that cage and get it
on with three of the best in the world." STYLES: "One
of those men, Scott Steiner, said earlier tonight that next week you, Steve
Austin and RVD will compete for a shot at him, your thoughts?" VAMPIRO:
"There's one thing I've yet to do in the United States and that's
become a World Champion. I want to thank
Scott Steiner for giving me a chance to reach that goal and face him for the
World Championship." STYLES: "One
of the other men in the match was William Regal. Tonight, you make your Ring Wars debut
against Regal..." VAMPIRO:
"William Regal, there won't be light at the end of your tunnel ...
There will be darkness in the form of The Dark Angel..." Match #5: The Acolytes (c) v. Evolution - NGW World Tag
Team Titles. "El Cu Cuy" by
Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as the new NGW World Tag Team Champions,
The Acolytes made their way out to the ring.
The Acolytes took advantage of Goldust's appearance to take the titles
from Sandman & Scorpio last night.
Then, "Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys blared over the speakers
as Evolution, Jason Jett and Nova, headed out to the ring. Evolution earned this title shot winning a
three way dance last night at Blazing Glory.
Jett and Nova kept the match quick to keep the big champions on their
toes. The ending would see Faarooq go
for a Spinebuster on Nova but Nova countered it with a Spin Doctor! Nova crawled over and made the tag to Jason
Jett. Jett went for a Crash Landing on
Faarooq but Faarooq blocked it and powerslammed Jett. Faarooq made the tag out to Bradshaw. Bradshaw laid into Jett with some forearms
then sent him into the ropes. Jett
ducked a big boot then came off with a handspring elbow. Jett went out to the apron for an Afterburner
but Devon Storm and Scott Vick ran out and distracted Jett. Jett flipped in with the Afterburner but he
had waited too long and Bradshaw caught him with the Clothesline From Hell for
the one ... two ... THREE! The Acolytes
hang onto the World Tag Team Titles after The Flock distracted Evolution! WINNERS: The Acolytes in 6:04. Rating: ** 1/2 (The Acolytes retained the NGW World Tag Team Titles.) [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from William Regal... REGAL: "What
is all this nonsense about darkness? I
don't give a bloody damn what you're into, Vampiro. The fact of the matter is this, sunshine, you
stuck your nose in business it didn't belong last night and now you're going to
pay. You're going to pay for bismerching
the great name of William Regal last night and you will pay your price in pain! You may have all the fans supporting you but
what you don't have is the power of the punch." Match #6: Raven v. Taz - NGW United States Heavyweight
Title Shot @ March Madness. "Come
Out And Play" by Offspring blasted over the speakers as the enigmatic
Raven walked out to the ring. Saturn ran
out and jumped Raven as he walked to the ring.
Saturn pounded on Raven until NGW officials ran out and grabbed Saturn,
restraining him. Raven continued to the
ring, trying to shake off the attack.
Then, "War Machine" blared over the speakers as 'The Human
Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring.
Taz must be in a more miserable mood then ever after last night. It took Jeff Jarrett a low blow, a single arm
DDT, a guitar shot and the Stroke to pin Taz and keep his US Title. The winner here between Raven and Taz will
goto March Madness to challenge Jarrett.
This would be a decent brawl between Raven and Taz. The ending would see Raven go for a short
lariat but Taz threw Raven with a T-Bone Tazplex! Taz lined up Raven for a running clothesline
but Raven ducked, kicked Taz and went for the Evenflow DDT but Taz ran Raven
into the corner. Taz picked up Raven and
placed him on the top turnbuckle. Taz
gave Raven a few shots then went up top and threw Raven with an Overhead
Belly-to-Belly SuperTazplex! Taz signalled
for the Tazmission but Jeff Jarrett had come out with his guitar. Jarrett drilled Taz over the head with the
guitar! Jarrett does not want to defend
against Taz. The referee called for the
bell after Jarrett's blatant attack.
Howard Finkel then gave the announcement, "The winner of this match
by disqualification and ... NUMBER ONE CONTENDER to the United States
Heavyweight Title ... TAZ!" Jarrett
flipped out! He's gotta defend his title
against Taz again! WINNER: Taz via DQ in 8:17. Rating: ** 3/4 ["Enter Sandman" by Metallica] 'The Extreme
Icon' The Sandman walked out to the ring still in disbelief over what went down
last night. Sandman took to the ring and
got a microphone... SANDMAN: "Cut
it, cut the music. You all saw what happened
last night, Goldust walked out with my ex-wife and my eleven year old son. Apparently, he's been talking about me all
this time? I don't get it, I don't
understand. Goldust, all I want to know
is why? Why are you doing this? Why did you bring out my family?" ["Shattered Dreams"] The most bizzare
and unpredictable man to ever step foot in a wrestling ring as Joey Styles
described him, Goldust walked out of the entrance with Lori and Tyler by his
side. Goldust had a microphone in
hand... GOLDUST:
"Don't stand there and act like you had no idea that I was talking
about you. You want to know why? Well I'll tell you why your ex-wife and your
son are standing here with me. You're
nothing more then a drunk ... A horrible father ... An abusive husband and a
worthless piece of garbage. You don't
deserve the adoration and the respect of all these people. No!
They fell in love with the violent, beer drinking, politically incorrect
Sandman but they didn't know that Jim Fullington was an abusive insensitive
drunk! Now as I shatter your dreams and
mine come true, all these people will come to love me just like your son Tyler
as come to love me as the father he never had!" SANDMAN:
"SHUT UP! You godforsaken
son of a bitch! You're a liar, you know
you're lying. Tyler, what the hell has
he said to you? Don't let him get inside
your head. Goldust, I'm gonna kick your
freakshow ass!" The Sandman went
at Goldust but Lori and Tyler stood infront of Goldust, blocking The
Sandman. Lori grabbed the microphone
from Goldust... LORI: "Don't
you dare touch him! This right here is a
good man, someone that is a role model for my son, unlike you, YOU DRUNK!" Goldust then
threw powder into the eyes of The Sandman and planted him with a Curtain
Call! Goldust set Sandman up in the
corner and SHATTERED DREAMS! Sandman was
left in pain on the mat as Goldust picked up the microphone again, GOLDUST: "I
told you that you will NEVER forget the name of ... GOLDUST!" Goldust walked
away from the ring with Lori and Tyler by his side... Main Event: William Regal v. Vampiro. "British Doom" by Jim Johnston
blared over the speakers as William Regal headed out to the ring. Regal's coming off a pinfall loss to Stone
Cold last night in the steel cage match after Vampiro foiled his plans to use
the brass knuckles. Then, "Kong At
The Gates sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro stalked his way
out to the ring. Vampiro shocked the
wrestling world when he showed up last night to team with Steve Austin in the
Main Event. Tonight, Vampiro makes his
Ring Wars debut against William Regal.
Regal looked disgusted by Vampiro's freaky appearance, the tatoos and
face paint. Regal managed to slow down
the match and work over Vampiro on the mat.
It was in Vampiro's best interests to brawl with Regal and not get
trapped in Regal's tricky submissions.
The closing moments of the match would see Vampiro go for a spinning
power bomb but Regal countered it with a backdrop. Regal hit a kneelift on Vampiro then a double
underhook power bomb for two. Regal
rolled Vampiro over and locked him in the Regal Stretch. Vampiro wouldn't give up and managed to break
Regal's hold and escape to the ropes.
Regal went for a german suplex but Vampiro countered it with a back
elbow. Vampiro went for a clothesline
but Regal ducked and tried a British Neckbreaker but Vampiro blocked it then
planted Regal with an uranage! Vampiro
covered for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!
Regal kicked out! Vampiro drilled
Regal with a roundhouse kick for another near fall. 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner started coming
down to the ring with a lead pipe but 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was right
behind him, spun Steiner around and started slugging it out with him! Regal went into his tights and got the brass
knuckles. Vampiro turned around, Regal
swung but Vampiro ducked, picked up Regal and spiked him with the Vampiro Spike
for the one ... two ... THREE! Vampiro
gets a big win in his debut over William Regal! WINNER: Vampiro in 13:55. Rating: ** 1/2 The show ended
with a shot of Austin and Steiner brawling then Vampiro having his hand raised
in the ring... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW has March Madness on March 24th, 2002 from the First
