"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; Too Cold Scorpio, The Sandman, Chris Kanyon, The
Dudley Boyz, Taz, Brock Lesnar, Sabu, Eddy Guerrero, Vampiro, Raven, Jeff
Jarrett, Chris Jericho, 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 everyone to the show. NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels is in the
building tonight as is the NGW World Champion, Scott Steiner. Tonight; The Dudley Boyz face Raven and Kane
in non-title action and in the Main Event, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz will
put the NGW United States Heavyweight Title on the line in a Three Way Dance
against Eddy Guerrero and 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam. All that and more tonight on Ring Wars... Opening Match: Chris Kanyon v. Jason Jett. "Immune" by Godsmack blared over
the speakers as The Flock's Chris Kanyon headed out to the ring to kick things
off. Then, "Ultra Mega" by
Powerman 5000 blared over the speakers as Jason Jett of Evolution made his way
out to the ring. This was a good way to
start off the show with Kanyon and Jett battling it out with many innovative
moves. The ending would see Kanyon go
for a superkick but Jett ducked underneath, sent Kanyon into the ropes but
Kanyon came off with a clothesline.
Kanyon hit a samoan drop then headed up top and came off with a
moonsault but Jett rolled out of the way!
Jett hit a standing moonsault on Kanyon for the one ... two ... THR ...
NO! Jett went out to the apron and came
in with the Afterburner but Kanyon caught Jett and planted him with the
Flatliner for the one ... two ... THREE!
Chris Kanyon looks real sharp taking a good win over Jason Jett! WINNER: Chris Kanyon in 5:23. Rating: ** ["I Need A Freak" by Too $hort] The NGW World
Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner walked out of the entrance but then
paused and looked back to the entrance.
Midajah came out in a nurses outfit pushing a wheelchair. Midajah pushed the wheelchair out then
Steiner took it into the ring and grabbed a microphone... STEINER: "Did
I hear Joey Styles right? Shawn Michaels
is in the building? For his sake, I hope
that's not true but I thrive on being prepared for anything. No one has the dedication like Big Poppa Pump
whether it's crafting the most mesmerizing physique in the world or keeping
this World Championship around my waist.
Shawn Michaels, I heard you were gonna be here tonight so I came
prepared. I said I was gonna put you in
a wheelchair and I wasn't kidding so because I'm such a generous man, I've
bought you a wheelchair. When I get my
hands on you, this is your future. When you get the [censored] to get in the
face of Big Poppa Pump, I'll break your spirit, I'll break your pride and I'll
break your back. Only this time you
won't recover ... I'm gonna mess you up so bad that you'll never be able to
walk again! So why don't you come out
here and come get your wheelchair?!" ["Oh! Oh! Shawn!"] The NGW
Commissioner, 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels cautiously walked out onto
the stage with four big security guards.
Michaels had a microphone... MICHAELS:
"You speak the truth, Steiner.
You could put me in that wheelchair but I'm not the same Shawn Michaels
that risked his livelihood just for the hell of it. No Steiner, I'm not gonna let you break
me. I'm a smarter man then I was when I
used to step in that ring..." STEINER:
"Shut up and get the hell down here you [censored]!" MICHAELS:
"HEY! We don't need that
crap on this show. Get a hold of
yourself, Steiner and stop pushing me before I do something I'll regret." STEINER:
"You're not gonna come down here?
Then I'm comin' up there!" Steiner threw
down the microphone and started up the ramp towards Michaels. The four security guards stepped in front of
Michaels. Steiner stopped then charged
at the security guards. Steiner knocked
one down and went towards Michaels but the other three tackled Steiner from
behind. Steiner was still fighting them
off but one of the guards pulled out pepper spray and incapacitated Big Poppa
Pump. Steiner was then handcuffed and
dragged out of the building while he shouted obscenties at Michaels... Match #2: The Acolytes v. Sabu & Devon Storm. "El Cu Cuy" by Coal Chamber blared
over the speakers as The Acolytes headed out to the ring for tag team
competition. Then, "Little
Crazy" by Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led out 'The
Human Highlight Reel' Sabu and 'Dangerous' Devon Storm to the ring. Sabu and Storm were so pleased with their
effort and success as a tag team last week that they've decided to keep teaming
but this week was a true test as they went up against the rough and tough
former World Tag Team Champions, Faarooq and Bradshaw. The ending would see Devon Storm go for a
brain buster on Faarooq but Faarooq blocked it, sent Storm into the ropes and
caught him with a big powerslam for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Faarooq went for the Dominator but Storm
slipped down the back and caught Faarooq with the Mind Bender! Storm made the cover for the one ... Bradshaw
comes in ... two ... Sabu cuts off Bradshaw with a leg lariat ... THREE! Sabu and Devon Storm continue their success
as a tag team with a huge win over The Acolytes! WINNERS: Sabu and Devon Storm in 5:08. Rating: * 1/4 [backstage] Michael Cole got
some comments from 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam about tonight's Three Way
Dance for the U.S. Heavyweight Title... VAN DAM:
"Last week Taz kicked my ass and he got his ass kicked by
R-V-D. That's what happens when you put
two wrestlers of our caliber in the ring together. But hey that's what I got into this for, to
take a beating and give one right back.
Everything was going just fine until that mullet headed bastard Eddy
Guerrero got involved. What're you
thiking Eddy? Yuo had no business out
there but tonight you find yourself in one match with two men that wanna kick
your ass. First I'll get my payback on
Eddy Guerrero and then everybody's favorite wrestler, R-V-D, will be the next
United States Heavyweight Champion. I
wasn't planning on going after the U.S. Heavyweight Title but it's all gravy
when you're the Whole F'n Show!" Match #3: Jeff Jarrett v. The Sandman. "Cowboy" by Kid Rock blasted over
the speakers as 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to the ring for
singles action. Then, "Enter
Sandman" by Metallica blared over the speakers as 'The Extreme Icon' The
Sandman made his way out to the ring.
Last week, Jeff Jarrett goated Vampiro into a Street Fight then smashed
a guitar over his injured ankle taking him out of commission. Jarrett and Sandman mainly brawled it out
here. The ending would see Jarrett go
for a piledriver but Sandman countered it with a backdrop. Sandman sent Jarrett into the corner and charged
in but Jarrett got the feet up. Jarrett
grabbed Sandman for the Stroke. The
lights flickered and Vampiro stood on the stage. Sandman rolls up Jarrett ... ONE! TWO!
THREE! Vampiro laughed and limped to the
back while Jarrett couldn't believe that he just let that match slip away
because of Vampiro! WINNER: The Sandman in 5:22. Rating: * [backstage] The NGW United
States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz is shown with a
shredded towel over his head... TAZ: "Alls I go
by is the final outcome so last week, I beat Rob Van Dam and I'm still the
United States Heavyweight Champion.
There's no such thing as a fair fight in this world but that doesn't
mean Eddy Guerrero gets off. Guerrero,
you stick your nose in my business, brotha and that's something you don't
do. Let me make it clear for ya. Tonight, RVD may be gunnin' for ya but you
better be worried about getting CHOKED OUT!
I am Taz ... The U.S. Heavyweight Champion ... Beat me if you can ...
SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!" Match #4: Allan Funk v. Brock Lesnar. "Psycho Man" by Black Sabbath
blared over the speakers as 'Angry' Allan Funk made his way out to the
ring. Then, "Head Up" by
Deftones blasted over the speakers as Brock Lesnar headed out to the ring along
with Chris Jericho. Lesnar challenged
Funk to come at him, Funk did and Lesnar just knocked him down with a
shoulderblock. Lesnar sent Funk into the
ropes and hit a big flapjack.
"Glass Shatters" by Disturbed blasted over the speakers and
'Stone Cold' Steve Austin bolted out of the entrance and went right after
Jericho. Jericho hopped over the
guardrail and ran for his life but Austin gave chase. Funk comes from behind with a cradle but
Brock kicks out with authority at one.
Lesnar decked Funk with a clothesline then picked up Funk and spinning
power bomb! Lesnar puts a hand on Funk
for the one-two-three! WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 0:58. Rating: 1/4* After the match,
Lesnar quickly headed out through the crowd after Austin and Jericho. We cut to the concession area where Austin
was giving chase to Jericho and Jericho slipped! Austin stomped away on Jericho then picked
him up, swore at him and threw Jericho's head right through a popcorn machine! Jericho's busted wide open! Austin flipped off Jericho and talked some
more trash before leaving. Brock Lesnar
arrived on the scene but Austin was already gone and the damage had been done
to Y2J... [backstage] Michael Cole got
some comments from Eddy Guerrero... GUERRERO:
"Listen up vatos, everybody may be gunning for Eddy Guerrero but
that's only because they're afraid of me.
That's right. They fear my looks
and my ability. Rob Van Dam is just
jealous cause he can't hit a Frog Splash like me and Taz? I could make Taz submit any day of the week
but I don't wanna embarass the guy. He's
pushin' me, Taz is pushin' me and I might just have to make Taz tap out. Michael, what'd you see when you look at me? I'll tell you what you see, homey. You see a handsome man ... You see a world
class wrestler and you see the next United States Heavyweight Champion!" Match #5: Juventud Guerrera v. Kaz Hayashi. "Size 'Em Up" by Big L blared over
the speakers as 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera made his way out to the
ring. Then, "I Don't Mind" by
Drain STH blared over the speakers as Kaz Hayashi headed out to the ring. With a great win over Taka Michinoku last
week, Juventud Guerrera earned the right to meet the NGW World Cruiserweight
Champion, Rey Misterio Jr. at Summertime Showdown but first he had to get
through Kaz Hayashi. Hayashi looked to
put an end to Juvy's momenteum in another great Cruiserweight matchup. The ending would see Kaz go for an inverted
bulldog but Juvy slipped out and hit a german suplex for the one ... two ...
THR ... NO! Juvy sent Kaz into the ropes
and went for a leg lariat but Kaz held onto the ropes then dropkicked Juvy in
the face for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Juvy got a shoulder up! Kaz went out to the apron and came in with a
Slingshot DDT on Juvy! Kaz covers for
the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Juvy got
a shoulder up again! Juvy went for a
lariat but Kaz ducked and caught Juvy with an inverted bulldog for the one ...
two ... THR ... NO! Kaz slammed down
Juvy and headed up top. Kaz comes off
with the Senton Bomb ... it misses! Juvy
pulls Kaz in and plants him with the Running Power Bomb for the one ... two ...
THREE! Juvy pulls out another great win! WINNER: Juventud Guerrera in 12:18. Rating: **** 1/4 [backstage] We went to some
comments from earlier today as Raven is shown slouched against a chain link
fence with The Flock behind the fence... RAVEN:
"Saturn, poor Saturn. It
didn't have to be this way. If only you
would have seen that a man's pride is synonymous with stupidy. You could've been with me ... You could've
been with the Flock. But instead you
tried to blaze your own path of success but you failed and you're gone. You're out of life for good and I won't
gloat. I don't have time because the
masses are demanding to know what is next for Raven? That is a question wrapped in a mystery
wrapped in an enigma. But for those who
are too unintelligent to decipher my conundrums, I'll say it so even the lowest
beings on the totem pole of brain power, like a Dudley, can understand ... I will
do whatever I want because I can and you will see what's next for Raven when it
happens. So it was written, so it shall
come to pass. Quote the Raven,
NEVERMORE!" Match #6: Raven & Kane v. The Dudley Boyz -
Non-Title. "Come Out And Play"
by Offspring blared over the speakers as Raven and Kane headed out to the ring
for tag team action. To his credit,
Raven defeated Saturn without the help of Kane or the Flock last week to send
Saturn packing from New Generation Wrestling.
Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as
the NGW World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz made their way out to the
ring for this non-title match. Due to
the fact Raven and Kane haven't teamed up that much they weren't considered
eligible for a shot at the titles but they proved to be a very formidable force
against the World Tag Team Champions.
The ending would see Raven go for a russian legsweep on D-Von Dudley buy
D-Von slipped out and hit a Reverse Neckbreaker for the one ... two ... THR ...
Kane breaks the pin! Buh Buh came in and
with D-Von's help sent Kane to the outside with a double clothesline. Raven staggered to his feet and the crowd
chanted '3D! 3D!' D-Von sent Raven into
the ropes but Kane pulled Buh Buh out of the ring and threw him into the
guardrail. D-Von didn't know Buh Buh was
gone and lifted up Raven but Raven grabbed D-Von in a front chancery and spiked
him with the Evenflow DDT for the one ... two ... THREE! Raven and Kane have defeated the World Tag
Team Champions! Like them or not, Raven
and Kane have scored a major win! WINNERS: Raven and Kane in 6:53. Rating: * 1/2 Main Event: Taz (c) v. Eddy Guerrero v. Rob Van Dam - NGW
United States Heavyweight Title Three Way Dance. "WAR MACHINE" blasted over the
speakers as the reigning and defending NGW United States Heavyweight Champion,
'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring for this Three Way Dance
Main Event. "Siempre
Peligroso" by Cypress Hill blared over the speakers as Eddy Guerrero
headed out to the ring. Then,
"Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The Whole F'N Show'
Rob Van Dam made his way out to the ring.
These three men's paths have crossed over the last few weeks leading up
to this match. Taz and Guerrero have had
an issue since Guerrero debuted. Eddy
and RVD have had an ongoing issue over the past couple months. Taz got the elimination on Guerrero at the
main event of Hostile City Showdown then last week when Taz and Rob Van Dam
were fighting it out for the U.S. Heavyweight Title, Guerrero got
involved. It looked as if Guerrero was
targeting Taz with his Frog Splash but he got Van Dam instead which led to Taz
getting the win over Van Dam. The first
elimination would come when Taz hit a High Cradle Tazplex on Guerrero and made
the cover but Van Dam broke up the three count with a rolling thunder on
Taz! Van Dam kicked Taz out of the ring
and went up top but Guerrero shoved the referee into the ropes. Van Dam got crotched and fell down to the
mat. Van Dam got up and questioned the
referee. Guerrero came from behind and
rolled up RVD with a handfull of tights for the one! two! THREE! (14:08) He got him!
Van Dam couldn't believe it! The
referee forced Van Dam out of the ring.
Guerrero taunted RVD and pointed to himself ... Wait, Taz is back in the
ring and TAZMISSION on Guerrero!
Tazmission! Guerrero's out! Taz retains the NGW United States Heavyweight
Title! WINNER: Taz in 14:49. Rating: *** The show came to
a close with Taz standing victorious in the ring. We'll see you next week... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW RAGE taping results for Saturday, July 6th, 2002: Taka Michinoku pinned Chris Candido with the Michinoku
