"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; Saturn, Too Cold Scorpio, The Sandman, Chris
Kanyon, The Dudley Boyz, Taz, The Acolytes, William Regal, Sabu, Eddy Guerrero,
Vampiro, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Rob Van Dam, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner,
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin and more. This
is New Generation Wrestling and this is RING WARS... We entered the
arena with pyro exploding and Joey Styles standing in the middle of the ring
with a microphone to kick things off... STYLES:
"Ladies and gentlemen, would you please join me in welcoming my
guest at this time, he is the NGW World Champion ... he is none other then 'BIG
POPPA PUMP' SCOTT STEINER!" ["I Need A Freak" by Too $hort] Midajah led out
the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner to the ring. Steiner stepped into the ring and posed a
bit... STYLES: "Big
Poppa Pump, two weeks ago Rob Van Dam came flying off that top rope with a Five
Star Frog Splash onto you and took out Stone Cold with a Van Daminator. Last week in the Three Way Dance tag team
match, not only did Stone Cold pin RVD with a Stunner but he beat you as
well. It looks as if your World
Championship is in danger this Sunday..." STEINER:
"Danger? The only thing
dangerous about this Sunday is steppin' in the ring with Big Poppa Pump. Do you know what happened with Van Dam and
with Stone Cold? They got lucky cause I
was back in the dressing room before the match and my freaks tired out Big
Poppa Pump. That ain't gonna happen this
Sunday, my World Championship is in no danger but RVD and Stone Cold's careers
are! No one's taking this World
Championship away from the genetic freak, not Rob Van Dam, not Stone Cold Steve
Austin, no one!" STYLES:
"Moving on to later tonight, you have a non-title match against
'The Extreme Icon' The Sandman..." STEINER:
"That's right ... The Sandman doesn't even compare to me with his
beer belly and pathetic self. He's
nowhere close to the physical specimen that I am. Look at these arms, Joey Styles, they're the
largest arms in the world. I'm gonna send
a message tonight ... Not only am I gonna rip The Sandman's head off but I got
a little somethin' somethin' for Stone Cold and Rob Van Dam also. Now get outta my face, I'm done wasting my
time, all this trailer park trash is making me sick." STYLES: "Just
one more question, what'd you have planned?" STEINER: "You
just watch like all the other losers out there and be mesmerized the same way
everyone is when they catch a glimpse of Big Poppa Pump!" 'Big Poppa Pump'
Scott Steiner posed a bit more before leaving the ring... Opening Match: Diamond Dallas Page v. Chris Candido. "Alive" by P.O.D blared over the
speakers as Diamond Dallas Page headed out to the ring for our opening
match. Then, "Back In Black"
by AC/DC blared over the speakers as 'No Gimmicks Needed' Chris Candido made
his way out to the ring. Diamond Dallas
Page will team up with Eddy Guerrero against Chris Candido and Jason Jett in
the Lethal Lottery round at Lord Of The Ring this Sunday. The ending of this match would see Page go
for a Diamond Cutter but Candido shoved him off and used a german suplex for
two. Candido chopped Page but Page
returned fire. DDP caught Candido with a
few jabs but Candido ducked the roundhouse clothesline, lifted up DDP and hit a
hotshot. Candido headed up top and came
off with a Diving Headbutt but Page rolled out of the way. Candido got up, clutching his head, and Page
hit the Diamond Cutter for the one ... two ... THREE! Diamond Dallas Page picks up the singles win
over Chris Candido! WINNER: Diamond Dallas Page in 5:06. Rating: ** [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Raven slouched down in a dark corner somewhere in the bowels of the
building... RAVEN:
"Trust, hate, love and faith.
I don't understand social grace, and the human race confuses me. These words I speak bring forth a world of
emotions. Emotions of dreams lost,
dreams found and dreams I'll never see.
So it is written, so it shall come to pass. But the question is will I or will I not be
able to function with TAZ? But isn't
that the same question that I've been asked time and time again since my
childhood? Isn't the question really
have I any dreams I'd like to sell?
Quote the Raven, Nevermore!" Match #2: Raven v. Al Snow. "Come Out And Play" by Offspring blared
over the speakers as Raven headed out to the ring. Raven sat down in the corner and waited for
his opponent. Then, "Breathe"
by Prodigy blared over the speakers as Al Snow made his way out to the
ring. Raven must team up with Taz in the
Lethal Lottery round and face Al Snow and William Regal. This would mainly be a brawl between Raven
and Snow. The ending would see Raven go
for a bulldog but Snow shoved him off and hit a superkick for two. Snow picked up Raven and hit an ocean cyclone
suplex for another two count. Snow
scooped up Raven for the Snow Plow but Raven countered it with an inside cradle
for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Snow
kicked out. Snow sent Raven into the
corner and charged in but met a back elbow from Raven. Raven hit a bulldog on Snow for two. Raven went for the Evenflow DDT but Snow
tried to counter it with a northern lights suplex but Raven managed to hold on
and spike Snow with the Evenflow DDT.
Raven made the cover for the one ... two ... THREE! Raven picks up the win heading into Lord Of
The Ring. Raven has to be considered one
of the favorites if and only if he and Taz can co-exist and that's a big if. WINNER: Raven in 5:18. Rating: * 1/2 [backstage] We cut to a shot
of a black pickup truck arriving to the arena and out steps 'Stone Cold' Steve
Austin. Austin goes to grab his bag from
the trunk and Scott Steiner ambushes him from behind! Steiner drilled Austin in the back with his
lead pipe, Austin staggered around and Steiner nailed Austin in the skull! Stone Cold went down and out. Steiner then looked at Austin's knee and
pulled Austin over to the door of the truck.
Steiner rested Austin's right leg halfway into the car then SLAMMED the
door against Austin's knee! Austin
screamed in pain so Steiner, pulled back the door and slammed it once
more. Austin managed to clutch and pull
his leg away before Steiner could do it again.
NGW officals rushed over as Steiner laughed at Stone Cold... Match #3: Simon Diamond v. Jeff Jarrett - Non-Title. "Simon Says" by Drain STH blasted
over the speakers as Dawn Marie led Simon Diamond out to the ring for our next
matchup. Then, "Cowboy" by Kid
Rock blared over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion,
'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett made his way out to the ring. Jarrett's U.S. Heavyweight Title is not up
for grabs here. However, Jeff Jarrett
teams up with Chris Kanyon against Simon Diamond & Swinger in the Lethal
Lottery Round. Jarrett would like to add
the Lord Of The Ring to his list of accomplishments while Simon and Swinger
have a definate advantage being a well oiled tag team. The ending of this one would see Jarrett go
for a DDT but Simon countered it with a northern lights suplex, Simon held on
picking Jarrett up and hitting a snap suplex, Simon kept ahold of Jarrett,
picked him up again and dropped him with a front-layout suplex! He calls that the Simon Series. Simon picked up Jarrett for the Simonizer but
Jarrett dropped out and grabbed a sleeper.
Dawn Marie got up on the apron to distract Jarrett. Simon shoved Jarrett off into the ropes,
ducked down, Jarrett ran over then crashed into Dawn Marie. Simon picked up Jarrett and went for the
Simonizer but Jarrett countered out of the inverted facelock part and hit the
Stroke on Simon Diamond for the one ... two ... THREE! 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett picks up the
win! WINNER: Jeff Jarrett in 6:21. Rating: *** [backstage] 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin was shown sitting on a stretcher with EMTs testing out his
knee. Austin was in serious pain with
every movement and the EMTs told him that he's got to go to the hospital and
get it checked out. AUSTIN: "I'm
not goin' to a damn hospital! I'm gonna
whip Scott Steiner's ass!" Austin got up but
as soon as he put weight on the right knee, it gave out. The EMTs sat Austin back down on the
stretcher and demanded he got get it checked out... AUSTIN:
"FINE! Scott Steiner, rest
assured, hell or high water, I will be there this Sunday and I will give you an
ass whipping the likes of which you've never seen." We cut away as
Austin was taken into the ambulance to goto the hospital... Match #4: Devon Storm v. Sabu - Extreme Rules. "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails
blasted over the speakers as 'Dangerous' Devon Storm headed out to the ring for
this Extreme Rules match. Then,
"Little Crazy" by Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led
'The Human Highlight Reel' Sabu out to the ring. Devon Storm teams with Flock Enemy #1, Saturn
in the Lethal Lottery round against Sabu and Vampiro. Storm and Sabu pulled out all the stops in
this Extreme Rules match using chairs, tables, trash cans, everything. You name it, they broke it. The ending of this battle would see Devon
Storm go for a brain buster but Sabu blocked it and spiked Storm with a DDT
onto a chair! Scott Vick and Chris
Kanyon hit the ring and went after Sabu.
The assault was quick as Vampiro and Saturn hit the ring. Vampiro took out Vick with a roundhouse
kick! Saturn went for a superkick on
Kanyon but Kanyon moved and Saturn caught Sabu!
Vampiro caught Kanyon with a clothesline, knocking him out of the
ring. Vampiro shoved Saturn then Saturn
started going at it with Vampiro. The
two spilled out to the floor. Storm
hooked up Sabu and spiked him with the Mind Bender onto the chair! Devon Storm covers Sabu for the one ... two
... THREE! A huge upset win for
'Dangerous' Devon Storm over Sabu heading into Lord Of The Ring! WINNER: Devon Storm in 7:02. Rating: *** [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam about Stone Cold's apparent
knee injury. VAN DAM: "Big
Poppa Pump likes to talk a lotta smack but all I know is that Rob Van Dam can
beat Scott Steiner. I wanna beat Stone
Cold, too after last week but if Stone Cold can't go at Lord Of The Ring, I
guess I'll just have to go one-on-one with Big Poppa Pump. That's cool because any way you look at it,
everybody's favorite wrestler ... Rob Van Dam ... is walking out this Sunday as
the World Champion!" All of a sudden
Van Dam was blindsided by Scott Steiner.
Steiner drilled Van Dam in the gut with the pipe then threw him head
first into the makeshift set. NGW
officials were quicker to arrive this time but the damage had been done. Steiner's out of control... Match #5: William Regal & The Acolytes v. Taz &
The Dudley Boyz. "British
Doom" by Jim Johnston sounded over the speakers as William Regal made his
way out to the ring first. "El Cu
Cuy" by Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as the NGW World Tag Team
Champions, The Acolytes headed out to the ring.
Then, "War Machine" blared over the speakers as 'The Human
Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring.
"Turn The Tables" by Saliva brought his tag team partners, The
Dudley Boyz to the ring. Taz will team
with Raven in the Lethal Lottery Round against William Regal and Al Snow. The Acolytes defend their World Tag Team
Titles against The Dudley Boyz in a Double Tables match. This would be solid six man tag action
heading into Lord Of The Ring. The
ending would see Faarooq catch D-Von with a shoulderblock. Faarooq sent D-Von into the ropes for the
Spinebuster but D-Von came off with a spinning elbowsmash. D-Von then planted Faarooq with the Reverse
Neckbreaker! D-Von covered for the one
... two ... THR ... Bradshaw breaks the pin!
Buh Buh came in and clotheslined Bradshaw out of the ring but Bradshaw
landed on his feet and pulled Buh Buh out.
Regal came in and went to drill D-Von with the brass knuckles but D-Von
ducked and Regal hit Faarooq! Taz
grabbed Regal in the Tazmission then took him down to the mat in it. D-Von covered Faarooq for the one ... two ...
THREE! The Dudley Boyz and Taz take a
strong win heading into Lord Of The Ring! WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz and Taz in 6:05. Rating: * [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from Too Cold Scorpio regarding his teaming with Goldust this
Sunday at Lord Of The Ring against Sandman and Nova, plus his singles match
with Goldust in a few moments... SCORPIO:
"Last week that punk Goldust said that I had to make a choice. No, I don't gotta make any choices. The choice is for Goldust to keep gettin'
punked out or stop messin' with Sandman's family. I'll team with Goldust this Sunday and I'll
go at The Sandman cause that Lord Of The Ring is mine. But first, I'm gotta beat that freak's ass
tonight! Don't worry Goldust, I'll leave
a little left for this Sunday so you can make it through the match...." Match #6: Goldust v. Too Cold Scorpio. "Shattered Dreams" sounded over the
speakers as 'The Bizzare One' Goldust made his grand entrance. Then, "Whoomp! There It Is" by Tag
Team blared over the speakers as Too Cold Scorpio. These two men must team up this Sunday at
Lord Of The Ring and attempt to co-exist enough to defeat The Sandman and Nova
in the Lethal Lottery Round. However,
Scorpio wanted a piece of Goldust tonight and he'd get it here. With Sandman pre-occupied with preparing for
Big Poppa Pump tonight, Goldust didn't have to keep looking over his shoulder
and could concentrate on Scorpio. The
ending would see Goldust hit some punches in the corner then pull Scorpio
out. Goldust went for a suplex but
Scorpio dropped down the back and rolled up Goldust for two. Goldust got up and went for a short lariat
but Scorpio ducked then bounced off the ropes and went for a spinning heel kick
but Goldust ducked and Scorpio hit the referee!
Goldust caught Scorpio with a jawbreaker. Goldust setup Scorpio in the corner then
OUCH! Nailed him with the Shattered Dreams kick! Goldust pulled Scorpio out and planted him
with the Curtain Call ... the referee crawled over and counted the one ... two
... THREE! Goldust takes the win! WINNER: Goldust in 5:07. Rating: * 1/2 Afterwards,
Goldust stayed down close to Scorpio told him that he made the wrong choice and
its his own fault he's a loser... Main Event: Scott Steiner v. The Sandman -
Non-Title. "I Need A Freak" by
Too $hort blared over the speakers as Midajah led out the NGW World Champion,
'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner for this non-title Main Event. Steiner's wrath has been felt here tonight as
he injured Stone Cold's right knee by ambushing him with a pipe then slamming
Austin's knee with a truck door twice.
Austin was taken against his will to the hospital after he couldn't put
any weight on the knee. Steiner's fury
didn't stop there as he jumped Rob Van Dam during an interview and took him out
as well. "Enter Sandman" by
Metallica blasted over the speakers as 'The Extreme Icon' The Sandman made his
way out to the ring. Steiner heads into
a huge defence of the NGW World Championship against Rob Van Dam and 'Stone
Cold' Steve Austin in a Three Way Dance at Lord Of The Ring. Steiner's odds increased greatly here tonight
with his attacks on Austin and RVD. The
Sandman heads into the Lethal Lottery teaming with Nova against Goldust and Too
Cold Scorpio with a shot to move onto BattleBowl and become the Lord Of The
Ring. Steiner and Sandman slugged it out
in a slow brawl. Sandman can take a lot
of punishment and Scott Steiner can sure dish out a lot of punishment. That's exactly what happened in this one as
Sandman took everything Steiner threw at him and somehow kept getting up. The closing moments of the match would see
Steiner go for a belly-to-belly suplex but Sandman bit the forehead of Steiner
and hit a DDT in desperation. Sandman
draped an arm over Steiner for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Steiner kicked out! Sandman got up and traded shots with
Steiner. Steiner got the better of
Sandman, sent him into the ropes and went for a Steinerline but Sandman ducked
then hit a White Russian Legsweep!
Sandman headed up to the top and came off with the Flying Legdrop! Steiner moves! Steiner drilled Sandman with a
Steinerline. Steiner picked up Sandman
and spiked him with a power bomb!
Steiner picked Sandman back up and hit a double underhook power
bomb! Steiner picked up Sandman once
more and hit a top-rope samoan drop crushing The Sandman! Steiner turned Sandman over and locked him in
the Steiner Recliner! Sandman's out of
it, the arm is lifted, it drops three times.
That's it! "Big Poppa
Pump" Scott Steiner is dominant in his win over The Sandman. Sandman put up a great fight but Steiner's on
top of his game. WINNER: Scott Steiner in 10:09. Rating: * 3/4 Afterwards, Scott
Steiner walked around and posed with the NGW World Championship for a bit. That was until Rob Van Dam hit the ring! RVD's up top and catches Steiner with a
flying kick! Van Dam looked at Steiner
then hit a rolling thunder! Van Dam
pointed to himself then went over to pick up Steiner but Steiner drilled Van
Dam low! Steiner then planted Van Dam
with a double underhook power bomb!
Steiner turned Van Dam over and locked him in the Steiner Recliner! Steiner locked it in real good. Numerous NGW officials ran out but Steiner
wouldn't release the hold. We ended with
a shot of the officials trying to pry Steiner off of Rob Van Dam. Big Poppa Pump has desimated his challengers
for the World Championship at Lord Of The Ring this Sunday! ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW RAGE taping results for Saturday, April 20th, 2002: Swinger pinned Scott Vick with the Cobra Clutch Russian
