"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 Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcoming us to the show. Tonight; 'Dangerous' Devon Storm and 'The
Human Highlight Reel' Sabu will battle it out in another Extreme Rules match. We have the debut of two well known
Cruiserweights as Taka Michinoku faces Essa Rios. Raven will go one-on-one with Vampiro and
much more... ["Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill] Eddy Guerrero
walked out of the entrance. Guerrero
shuffled his feet then cupped his ear and was met with boos from the
crowd. Guerrero looked on with disgust
of the fans as he continued down and into the ring where he took the
microphone... GUERRERO:
"Relax ... Relax ... I know you're all up in arms because of what I
did to your so called favorite wrestler last week but once you hear my side of
the story, you'll understand ... SHUT UP AND LET ME TELL MY SIDE OF THE
STORY! You people ... You need to look
at the big picture. I wasn't trying to
hurt Rob Van Dam, I was just trying to show him what happens to a thief. See, long before there was a R-V-D, Eddy
Guerrero was down in Mexico coming off the top with the Frog Splash. Now I see that Rob Van Dam has seen fit to
steal my move? You don't steal from Eddy
Guerrero and get away with it. We can
solve this the easy way ... You stop using the Frog Splash or we can solve this
the hard way ... Guardo el batir de su everytime del asno que usted roba de mí! I keep beating your ass everytime you steal
from me! What's it gonna be, RVD?" ["Walk" by Pantera] 'The Whole F'n
Show' Rob Van Dam walked out onto the stage with a microphone... VAN DAM:
"Eddy Guerrero, there's no trademark on a wrestling move ... You
screwed me last week, plain and simple.
But I know what's really going on here.
You're jealous ... Everytime I fly through the air with that FIVE STAR
FROG SPLASH, I make you look bad. You're
Frog Splash is good, maybe four stars but you're no Rob Van Dam. You can't do what I do, but you don't have to
get all pissed off about it because nobody can do what RVD does. That's why I'm the WHOLE F'N SHOW!" GUERRERO: "It
sounds like we're gonna have to do things the hard way..." VAN DAM: "Oh
that's cool with me ... Why don't you try and beat my ass in the ring?" GUERRERO:
"You got it ... I'll beat your ass at Animosity but you won't even
get a chance to hit that Frog Splash..." VAN DAM:
"Animosity? Cool but I want
some of you tonight!" GUERRERO:
"You want me tonight? How
about we have ourselves a little tag team match ... I'll bring the United
States Heavyweight Champion and you bring whoever you can find that'll team up
with you..." Just then Jeff
Jarrett snuck up from behind and cranked Van Dam over the head with a
guitar! Jarrett picked up the
microphone... JARRETT: "Van
Dam, you punk, you don't stand a chance against The Chosen One and Eddy
Guerrero tonight. Choke on that,
slapnuts!" ["War Machine"] Jarrett's eyes
almost buldged out of his skull with that music. Jarrett seemed frozen in fear. TAZ walked out of the entrance, Jarrett
backed off and Taz just shook his head.
Jarrett tried to sucker punch Taz but Taz blocked it and hammered on
Jarrett then locked him in the Tazmission!
Jarrett's tapping out! Eddy Guerrero
ran up the ramp to help but Van Dam tripped up Guerrero and started hammering
on him! NGW Officials rushed out to
break the four men up. What a main event
tag we'll have tonight, Rob Van Dam and Taz against Eddy Guerrero and Jeff
Jarrett! Opening Match: Taka Michinoku v. Essa Rios. "A Touch Of Evil" by AC/DC blared
over the speakers as Taka Michinoku made his way out to the ring, making his
NGW debut. Then, "Papi Chulo"
by Funkdoobiest blared over the speakers as Essa Rios headed out to the ring,
also making his NGW debut. Styles and
Heyman talked about the beginnings of a Cruiserweight Division in NGW and that
many more great Cruiserweights are on their way. Next week, we will begin a Cruiserweight Cup
which will eventually lead to the crowning of a Cruiserweight Champion in
several weeks. Michinoku and Rios pulled
out all the stops to impress in their debut and impress they did. The ending would see Essa slap and chop Taka
then go to send him into the ropes but Taka reversed it. Essa came off with a spinning leg
lariat! Essa went up top and came off
with a shooting star press but Taka rolled out of the way! Taka came in with a springboard dropkick on
Essa Rios for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!
Taka scooped up Essa for the Michinoku Driver but Essa floated over and
hit a reverse DDT. Essa went up for the
Moonsault but Taka kicked the ropes, crotching Essa. Taka pulled Essa down, hanging him in the
tree of woe then nailed him with a dropkick!
Taka scooped up Essa and spiked him with the Michinoku Driver for the
one ... two ... THREE! Taka Michinoku
takes the win in a great showcase of the Cruiserweight action that is to come
in NGW! WINNER: Taka Michinoku in 10:22. Rating: *** 1/4 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from The Acolytes... FAAROOQ: "I
don't see why we even had to go in some four corners match last week, we
should've gotten a rematch against The Dudley Boyz right away!" BRADSHAW:
"Jason Jett got lucky, he caught me by surprise but his luck has
run out. Evolution, you boys are
stepping into the ring with two angry, pissed off son of a bitch's that are
just looking to kick somebody's ass! I'd
like to see you try and get lucky tonight.
You won't lucky, you'll get your head knocked off your shoulders!" FAAROOQ:
"DAMN!" Match #2: The Acolytes v. Evolution. "El Cu Cuy" by Coal Chamber blasted
over the speakers as The Acolytes made their way out to the ring. Then, "Intergalactic" by Beasties
Boys blared over the speakers as Evolution, Jason Jett and Nova, headed out to
the ring. Last week, in a Four Corners
Elimination Tag Team match, Evolution eliminated The Acolytes after Jett
surprised Bradshaw with an Afterburner and got the pin. The former World Tag Team Champions were out
to prove that was a fluke and get back in contention for the titles while
Evolution looked for another big win over the former champs. The ending would see Jett go for a power bomb
on Faarooq but Faarooq countered it with a backdrop. Faarooq sent Jett into the ropes and hit a
powerslam for two. Faarooq picked up
Jett and sent him into the ropes for the Spinebuster but Jett came off with a
handspring elbow! Jett went for a
standing moonsault but Faarooq got the knees up. Faarooq crawled over and made the tag to
Bradshaw. Bradshaw ran over and knocked
Nova off the apron before Jett could make the tag. Bradshaw picked up Jett and hit a backdrop
suplex for two. Bradshaw picked up Jett
for a fallaway slam but Nova came in with a springboard dropkick onto Jett,
Jett fell on Bradshaw for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Bradshaw kicked out. Faarooq ran around the ring and went after
Nova. Bradshaw bounced off the ropes and
went for the Clothesline From Hell but Jett ducked at hit the Crash Landing on
Bradshaw for the one ... two ... THREE!
Evolution make it two in a row over The Acolytes! Faarooq and Bradshaw couldn't believe it! WINNERS: Evolution in 5:03. Rating: ** [backstage] 'Stone Cold'
Steve Austin was shown arriving to the arena and The Coach approached him... AUSTIN: "I
did exactly what I said I was gonna do and now finally I get Scott Steiner's
ass one on one for the World Championship.
Where is that sorry sumbitch anyways?" COACH: "He's
not here, yet." AUSTIN: "Well
when that jacked up jackass arrives, you tell him Stone Cold's looking for
him..." Match #3: 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. These two faced off in an Extreme Rules match
a few weeks ago with Storm taking the win.
Storm and Sabu brawled it out in a crazy match. The ending would see Sabu and Storm brawling
on the floor. Sabu caught Storm with a
DDT. Fonzie set up a table against the
guardrail, Sabu placed Storm on the table.
Sabu went in the ring and came out with a springboard plancha but Storm
moved and Sabu crashed through the table!
Storm pounded on Sabu and rolled him into the ring. Storm went for the Midn Bender but Sabu
blocked it. Sabu elbowed Storm off but
Storm hit Sabu with some forearms. Storm
planted Sabu with a front layout suplex for two. Storm went up top and came off with a big
splash for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!
Storm sent Sabu into the ropes but Sabu came off with a dropkick. Sabu headed up top for a moonsault but Storm
crotched him then went up for a belly-to-back superplex. Sabu countered it in mid air, Storm rolled
through and got a two count on Sabu.
Sabu went for a lariat but Storm ducked, kicked Sabu and went for a
brain buster but Sabu blocked it and spiked Storm with a fisherman buster! Fonzie threw Sabu a chair and Sabu hit the
Triple Jump Moonsault for the one ... two ... THREE! Sabu pulls out a hard fought win in a crazy
brawl! WINNER: Sabu in 6:27. Rating: ** 1/2 After the match,
Sabu offered Storm a handshake in a big show of respect. Storm grabbed Sabu's hand then nailed him
with a short arm clothesline. Storm
picked up Sabu and planted him with a Mind Bender then left the ring... [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from the team that will challenge The Dudley Boyz for the NGW
World Tag Team Titles at Animosity, Simon Diamond and Swinger along with Dawn
Marie... SIMON: "You
want to know what Simon thinks of The Dudley Boyz? Simon thinks The Dudley Boyz are overrated
... No, SIMON SAYS that the Dudley Boyz are overrated. Sure, they won a brawl against The Acolytes
but can they get in there and wrestle with us?
Simon Says they don't have what it takes. Simon Says you're looking at the next World
Tag Team Champions and everyone knows what Simon Says comes true." Match #4: Simon Diamond & Swinger v. Al Snow &
Too Cold Scorpio. "Simon Says"
by Drain STH blasted over the speakers as Dawn Marie led Simon Diamond &
Swinger out to the ring. Then,
"Whoomp! There It Is" by Tag Team blared over the speakers as Too
Cold Scorpio and Al Snow made their way out to the ring. Simon & Swinger won a Four Corners match
last week to get a shot at the World Tag Team Titles at Animosity. During the match, the NGW World Tag Team
Champions The Dudley Boyz walked out onto the stage. The ending would see Swinger hit a backspin
DDT on Scorpio. Swinger went for a
kneeling headbutt but Scorpio rolled out of the way. Scorpio drilled Swinger with a spinning mule
kick and made the tag to Snow. Swinger
made the tag to Simon. Simon and Snow
traded shots. Simon sent Snow into the
ropes but Snow caught Swinger with a kneelift.
Snow hit a moonsault for two.
Dawn Marie got up on the apron and distracted Snow. Snow went over and kissed Dawn. Simon hit the Simonizer on Snow for the one
... two ... THREE! Simon Diamond &
Swinger pick up another strong win while The Dudley Boyz got a close up look at
their challengers. WINNERS: Simon Diamond and Swinger in 4:27. Rating: * ["Enter Sandman" by Metallica] 'The Extreme
Icon' The Sandman walked out to the ring with a bandage on his face after being
hit with that fireball by Goldust last week.
Terri was with him. Sandman took
a microphone... SANDMAN:
"Goldust ... You raised the bar last week. Just when I thought it couldn't be raised
anymore, you pulled it off. You burned
me but not as bad as you're gonna get burned.
This has all got to come to an end ... Let's leave the women at home ...
Leave my family out of it and let's settle this like men, once and for
all." '24 Karat Pictures
Presents ... A Shattered Dreams Production ... GOLDUST!' GOLDUST:
"Sandman, you want to take me out forever. You want to get rid of me. Didn't you know? They can only kill me with a
golden bullet - Peter O'Toole, Lawrence of Arabia, 1962. You don't have that golden bullet, Sandman
but you're right, it's time to end this.
It's time for one of us to pass.
It is time for the Final Curtain to be drawn on one of our careers. One more match ... One last match ... And
then for one us it will all be over.
Until then ... may we share a kiss, Sandman? So we can kiss your career goodbye. You will be gone and you will be forgotten
but no one will ever forget the name of GOLDUST!" We then headed to
a video promo set to "Ride Of Your Life" by Nuerotica for NGW's next Pay-Per-View
offering ... NGW ANIMOSITY ... The event comes to you on May 26th, live from
the All-State Arena in Chicago, IL on Pay-Per-View! Match #5: Raven v. Vampiro. "Come Out And Play" by Offspring
blared over the speakers as Raven headed out to the ring. Raven slouched down in the corner and waited
for his opponent. Then, "Kong At
The Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel'
Vampiro stalked his way out to the ring.
Raven and Vampiro have had problems over the past few weeks, with Raven
even eliminating Vampiro from BattleBowl.
This would be a chance for Vampiro to get some retribution against the
leader of The Flock. The ending would
see Raven pound on Vampiro in the corner.
Raven bounced off the near side ropes with a clothesline but Vampiro
grabbed him and hit an uranage for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Vampiro went up top for a Phoenix Senton but

signalled for Vampiro Spike but Chris Kanyon ran out and jumped up on the
apron. Vampiro knocked Kanyon off the
apron, Raven hit the Evenflow DDT on Vampiro but Saturn came out of the
crowd. The referee was distracted with
Kanyon and Saturn picked up Raven and planted him with a Death Valley
Driver! Vampiro draped an arm over Raven
for the one ... two ... THREE! Vampiro
takes the win and Saturn gets some payback on Raven after last week. WINNER: Vampiro in 5:35. Rating: ** 1/2 [backstage] A black limousine
pulls up to the arena and out steps the NGW World Champion, Scott Steiner. The Coach approaches Steiner, wanting to know
why Steiner's so late... STEINER:
"I'll show up whenever the hell I want to show up. I'm Big Poppa Pump, I do what I want..." Steiner shoved
The Coach aside... COACH:
"Steiner, one more thing, Stone Cold Steve Austin's looking for
you..." STEINER: "Is
that so? Well I'm not a hard man to
find..." Main Event: Rob Van Dam & Taz v. Eddy Guerrero &
Jeff Jarrett. "Walk" by
Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam made his
way out of the ring. "War
Machine" blasted over the speakers as 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz, the
Lord Of The Ring, walked out to the ring.
Then, "Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill brought Eddy
Guerrero out. Guerrero stopped midway
down the ramp to wait for his partner.
"Cowboy" by Kid Rock blared over the speakers as the NGW
United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to
join Guerrero. Last week, Guerrero took
out Van Dam costing him a shot at the World Championship. Guerrero came out earlier tonight and said
that he was pissed that RVD 'stole' the Frog Splash from him. Van Dam came out to setup a match between the
two at Animosity and made the challenge for this tag match. Jarrett blindsided Van Dam with a guitar then
Taz came out and choked out Jarrett.
That all led to this tag team match.
The closing moments of the match would see Jarrett go for a single arm
DDT on Taz but Taz countered it with a northern lights for two. Taz then caught Jarrett with a T-Bone Tazplex
and signalled for the Tazmission but Guerrero came in. Guerrero nailed Taz from behind, Van Dam came
in and took Guerrero out of the ring and hit a running somersault plancha! Jarrett sent Taz into the ropes, Taz came off
with a big clothesline but Jarrett ducked and Taz hit the referee. Jarrett caught Taz with a DDT. Jarrett grabbed his guitar and lined up Taz but
Van Dam came back in, grabbed the guitar from Jarrett and smashed it over his
head! Taz grabbed Jarrett in the
Tazmission and took him down to the mat.
The referee crawled over and checked Jarrett. He was out!
Taz has choked out Jeff Jarrett to win this match! Does Jarrett have any
shot at retaining his US Heavyweight Title in the Submission Match at
Animosity? WINNERS: Rob Van Dam and Taz in 9:54. Rating: ** 3/4 We returned from
our final break... ["I Need A Freak" by Too $hort] The NGW World
Championship, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner headed out to the ring on his
own. Steiner stepped into the ring and
took the microphone... STEINER: "I
showed up here tonight and I heard that Stone Cold Steve Austin is looking for
me. What is he stupid? Stone Cold doesn't want none of Big Poppa
Pump. Austin, I took out your knee a few
weeks ago but that was just the beginning.
I'm gonna tear you apart, limb from limb, until there's nothing left of
you. Just like everyone that's stepped
in the ring with the greatest athlete in the world today, when its all over,
Big Poppa Pump will be standing over you still the World Champion. You see my motto is winning isn't everything,
it's the only thing. And if I gotta
break bones, bust knees, break rules, I'm gonna do that cause nobody can stop
me." ["Glass Shatters" by Disturbed] Out came the man
that'll get his shot at stopping Scott Steiner at Animosity, 'Stone Cold' Steve
Austin. Austin's knee was still taped up
as he walked out to the ring. Austin had
a microphone with him as he entered the ring... AUSTIN: "If
you wanna see Stone Cold Steve Austin stop Scott Steiner, gimme a hell
yeah! (HELL YEAH!) Scott Steiner, I've been waiting a long time
to stand in this ring, face to face and give you piece of my mind. So if you'll allow me a few moments of your
precious time, I'd like to tell you exactly what Stone Cold Steve Austin thinks
of Scott Steiner. I think you're big ...
You're strong ... You're dominant ... You're ruthless ... You're the Champion
... You've had a great run ... but you're a jackass ... A jacked up jackass ...
You're reign is almost over ... You're lookin' at the man's that is gonna whip
your ass and end your title reign." STEINER:
"You've got no chance, Austin.
You can't beat me, no one can.
You call yourself the world's toughest son of a bitch ... well you're
looking at a son of a bitch that's tougher then you. You're looking at a genetic freak ... You're
looking at the largest arms in the world!" Steiner flexed
his massive bicep... AUSTIN: "You
like to flex your muscles? Well, if you
don't mind, I'd like to flex a few muscles of my own..." STEINER:
"Let's see what you've got..." AUSTIN: "Look
at these muscles..." Austin gave
Steiner two middle fingers right in the face... AUSTIN: "Your
ass belongs to Stone Cold Steve Austin and that's the bottom line 'cause Stone
Cold ..." Steiner grabbed
Austin's microphone and threw it down to the mat before he could finish... STEINER: "No
... Your ass belongs to Big Poppa Pump because no one is finer then..." Austin grabbed
Steiner's microphone and threw it down to the mat. Stone Cold and Big Poppa Pump went face to
face as the show came to a close. What a
war its gonna be in just a few weeks at Animosity... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW is proud to announce the beginning of a
