-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- NGW Ring Wars - July 8 / 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; 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 as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman informed us the NGW WORLD CHAMPION, SCOTT
STEINER is not in the house. Apparently
one of the security guards that Steiner attacked last week pressed charges so
Steiner is clearing up that whole mess but we expect Big Poppa Pump to be back
next week. As far as tonight we have a
*HUGE* Main Event as 'STONE COLD' STEVE AUSTIN will go one-on-one with get this
... 'THE BIG RED MACHINE' KANE. Stone
Cold and Kane tonight! Plus a whole lot
more... ["Come Out And Play" by Offspring] To kick things
off, Raven and Kane headed out of the entrance.
Raven and Kane made their way out to the ring and Raven slouched down in
a corner with the microphone... RAVEN: "One
week ago I talked about the next step and how you would all bare witness to it
when it cometh and then it happened. The
next step is one I don't take alone, its one I take with Kane. And that step is to become the World Tag Team
Champions. We beat The Dudley Boyz last
week and in just a few weeks we'll take their precious title belts. But tonight ... due to circumstances beyond
my control, Kane has been put into a match with 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Stone Cold represents all of you and for that
fact alone, Kane will destroy him. When
Kane looks at Steve Austin, he will see all those who mocked him, who made fun
of him and who tormented him. You called
him a freak but you made him a monster.
A monster that will destroy all that you love and that includes Stone
Cold Steve..." ["Glass Shatters" by Disturbed] Before Raven
could finish saying his name, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin walked out onto the
stage with an open beer in hand... AUSTIN:
"Raven, I gotta give you your due, you've got a monster there in
Kane. Usually I come out here and talk
about how I'm gonna whip a man's ass but I don't know if even Stone Cold can
whip Kane's ass. I'm scared, I'm intimidated,
I'm weak in the knees, I'm trembling a little bit. So what I've been doing is loading up on a
little liquid courage. Actually a lot of
liquid courage! [Guzzles the beer and
tosses down the can] And now that I'm
done that beer ... I'm done spouting off bull****! It doesn't matter to me how big or ugly you
are, the bottom line is when you step in the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin,
there's only one thing that's for sure and that's you will get your ass
whipped!" Kane grabbed the
microphone from Raven... KANE:
"AUSTIN! Get down here
NOW!" AUSTIN: "Now
I've been drinking a bit and maybe I didn't hear that right, you want Stone
Cold Steve Austin to come down to that ring?
[Kane nods] Well if you wanna see
Stone Cold go down to that ring and whip that big red retards ass then gimme a
HELL YEAH! (HELL YEAH!)" Austin dropped
the microphone and charged right into the ring and started throwing punches at
Kane. Raven came from behind but Austin
decked him. Kane grabbed Austin for a
Choke Slam but Austin kicked Kane low!
All of a sudden Chris Kanyon and Scott Vick jumped out of the crowd and
came into the ring. Austin turned around
and caught Vick with a Stunner! But then
Kanyon drilled Austin from behind.
Kanyon and Raven hammered on Austin then fed him into Kane who planted
Stone Cold with a CHOKE SLAM! NGW
officials stormed the ring but the damage was already done to Stone Cold... Opening Match: Simon Diamond & Swinger v. Sabu &
Devon Storm. "Simon Says" by
Drain STH blared over the speakers as Dawn Marie led her team of Simon Diamond
& Swinger out to the ring for our first match. Then, "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch
Nails as 'Dangerous' Devon Storm and 'The Human Highlight Reel' Sabu made their
way out to the ring along with Bill Alfonso.
Sabu and Devon Storm would attempt to continue their climb up the tag
team ladder here in NGW with a win over Simon Diamond & Swinger. However, Simon and Swinger are far from push
overs. The ending would see Sabu go for
a missile dropkick on Diamond but Diamond stepped back, grabbed the legs and
went for a scorpion deathlock but Sabu rolled him up for two! Sabu then caught Simon with a DDT then hit a
ropeflip moonsault for the one ... two ... THR ... Swinger breaks the pin! Devon Storm came in and took Swinger to the
outside. Storm went for a splash off the
apron but Dawn Marie distracted him.
Fonzie came over and 'fought' with Dawn Marie on the floor! Simon knockd Storm off the apron into the
guardrail but walked into a leg lariat from Sabu. Fonzie passed Sabu a chair and Sabu went for
the Triple Jump Moonsault but Swinger shook the ropes making Sabu fall back
onto his head! Swinger rolled into the
ring and the two hit the Problem Solver on Sabu! Simon covers for the one ... two ... Storm
tries to come in but Swinger cuts him off ... THREE! Simon Diamond & Swinger halt the
momenteum of Sabu & Devon Storm with a big win! WINNERS: Simon Diamond and Swinger in 5:38. Rating: ** 1/4 [backstage] Shawn Michaels is
shown talking on his cell phone in his office when Chris Jericho entered the
room... MICHAELS:
"What'd you want?" JERICHO: "You
are the Commissioner aren't you?" MICHAELS:
"Yes..." JERICHO: "Why
don't you start acting like it? Did you
see what Stone Cold Steve Austin did to me?
I was just standing around, providing some moral support from Brock
Lesnar and out comes Stone Cold. I
didn't wanna have to humiliate Austin again so I was being the bigger man and I
walked away! But of course that drunken
piece of Texas trailer park trash came after me, attacked Chris Jericho from
behind and put my face through a popcorn machine! Look at this face, this is the face of NGW,
this face is money and you can't have Stone Cold Steve Austin messing with your
money." MICHAELS:
"Where is this all going?" JERICHO: "I
think its high time that Chris Jericho started receiving fair treatment around
here..." MICHAELS:
"Fair treatment? You come in
here and bitch about how you're being treated when you're buddying up to Brock
Lesnar? How fair was it when Brock
helped you beat Stone Cold Steve Austin?
So you don't come in here and talk about not being treated fair. As far as I'm concerned the only thing fair
was you getting your face busted up." JERICHO: "Not
another conspiracy, not here..." MICHAELS:
"I've had it up to HERE with people testing me and thinking they
can push Shawn Michaels around. So
here's what I'm gonna do. July 21st at
Summertime Showdown, you Chris Jericho will go one-on-one with Stone Cold Steve
Austin one more time and the winner, he'll get a shot at the World Championship
in August at SuperClash! Now get outta
my face!" JERICHO: "One
more thing, Shawn, if you think Scott Steiner is a pain in the ass to deal with
as World Champion, just wait and see what you're in store for when Chris
Jericho becomes World Champion." Chris Jericho
patted Michaels on the shoulder, smiled and walked out... Match #2: Too Cold Scorpio v. Brock Lesnar. "Whoomp! There It Is" by Tag Team
blared over the speakers as Too Cold Scorpio made his way out to the ring. Scorpio looked tentative stepping into the
ring and with good reason. Then,
"Head Up" by Deftones blasted over the speakers as Brock Lesnar
walked out to the ring. Chris Jericho
was not with Brock Lesnar this week, not taking his chances after being
assaulted last week by Stone Cold.
Lesnar jumped up onto the apron and just stared a hole through
Scorpio. Scorpio ran at Lesnar as he
came in but Lesnar backdropped Scorpio clear over the top rope. Lesnar went to the outside, picked up Scorpio
and rammed his back into the ring apron then rolled him back into the
ring. Lesnar sent Scorpio into the ropes
but Scorpio came off with a spinning heel kick that rocked Lesnar but Lesnar
stayed on his feet. Scorpio hit a
superkick but Lesnar didn't go down.
Scorpio goes for a frankensteiner but Lesnar grabs him and SPIRAL
BOMB! Lesnar walked around Scorpio like
a vulture stalking its prey. Lesnar
muscled up Scorpio and hit the Terminator for the easy one-two-three! Brock Lesnar runs through another... WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 0:54. Rating: 3/4* [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from the NGW World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz... D-VON: "Raven
and Kane, my brothers, a storm cloud is brewing over New Generation Wrestling,
the gods are restless because they know what is coming at Summertime
Showdown. The lord's hand works in
strange ways because you have commited sin after sin after sin. So the lord found his way to make you pay for
those sins. In thirteen days, my
friends, you must take a walk through DUDLEYVILLE!" BUH BUH: "One
thing you are going to learn is that The Dudley Boyz aren't interested in being
second-best. The Dudley Boyz aren't
interested in being 'former champions'.
So your punishment will be an execution, Dudley style. That means someone gets a 3D and someone's
ass goes through a table!" D-VON:
"TESTIFY!" Match #3: Evan Karagias & Jamie Knoble v. The Dudley
Boyz - Non-Title. "You Know Its
Hard" by Crystal Method sounded over the speakers as Evan Karagias and
Jamie Knoble made their way out to the ring.
Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as
the NGW World Tag Team Champions, The Dudley Boyz headed out to the ring for
this non-title matchup. Karagias and
Knoble were looking to follow in the footsteps of Raven and Kane last week and
put down the champions in non-title action while Buh Buh and D-Von seemed hell
bent on making up for last week and build some momenteum again. The ending would see D-Von head to the top
for a flying headbutt on Karagias but Knoble came in and crotched D-Von up
top. Buh Buh came in and disposed of
Knoble. Karagias had gone up for a
superplex but Buh Buh picked Evan up off the top onto his shoulders. D-Von came off with a Doomsday Device! D-Von covered Karagias for the one ... two
... THR ... Knoble pulls D-Von out of the ring!
Knoble tried to send D-Von into the ring post but D-Von reversed,
sending Knoble into the ring steps. Buh
Buh picked up Karagias for a Buh Buh Bomb but Karagias hit a low back
kick. D-Von came back in and sent
Karagias into the ropes, Buh Buh recovered enough to hit the 3D! D-Von makes the cover and Buh Buh takes care
of Knoble for the one ... two ... THREE!
The Dudley Boyz get back on the winning track! WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz in 6:41. Rating: ** 1/2 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro... VAMPIRO: "The
ankle is feeling good and I'm ready to go tonight. While I appreciate the fact that I'm in a
number one contenders match for the U.S. Heavyweight Title against Kanyon
tonight, I just wanna get my hands on Jeff Jarrett. But you know what? I'm not gonna let Jeff Jarrett stop me from
going after the U.S. Heavyweight Title.
Soon enough Jeff Jarrett will be surrounded by darkness with no escape
and I will make him meet his maker..." Match #4: Chris Kanyon v. Vampiro - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title Shot @ Summertime Showdown.
"Immune" by Godsmack blared over the speakers as The Flock's
Chris Kanyon made his way out to the ring.
Then, "Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the
speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro stalked his way out to the ring. The winner here will go to Summertime
Showdown in thirteen days to challenge Taz for the NGW United States
Heavyweight Title. Kanyon and Vampiro
are certainly no strangers and with the title shot on the line it just made
things more heated. Vampiro would have
to put Jeff Jarrett in the back of his mind and concentrate on Kanyon. The ending would see Vampiro send Kanyon into
the ropes and go for a lariat but Kanyon ducked then picked up Vampiro and hit
a samoan drop for two! Kanyon went for a
rocker dropper but Vampiro moved and went for the Vampiro Spike but Kanyon
floated over and grabbed Vampiro for a german suplex but Vampiro elbowed Kanyon
off and hit an uranage for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Kanyon kicked out! Jeff Jarrett then sauntered down to ringside
with his guitar. Jarrett slid the guitar
in then tried to come into the ring but the referee blocked him. Kanyon grabbed the guitar and blasted it over
Vampiro's head! Kanyon made the cover,
Jarrett left, the referee saw the shattered guitar but didn't see the shot so
he had to make the count ... one ... two ... THREE! Chris Kanyon will go to Summertime Showdown
to challenge for the US Heavyweight Title and he can thank Jeff Jarrett for
that opportunity. WINNER: Chris Kanyon in 7:23. Rating: ** 3/4 We returned from
a break and Joey Styles was standing in the ring with a microphone... STYLES:
"Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming my guest at this
time, he is THE WHOLE F'N SHOW! He is ROB VAN DAM!" ["Walk" by Pantera] 'The Whole F'n
Show' Rob Van Dam headed out to the ring for an interview with Styles... STYLES:
"Let's get right down to business, RVD, you requested this time
because you wanted to issue a challenge." VAN DAM:
"That's right, Joey Styles, I understand when you're everybody's
favorite wrestler, when you're R-V-D, that everyone wants a piece of you. Everybody wants to grab a hold of the
coattails of Rob Van Dam but that doesn't mean I'm gonna sit back and let some
greasy haired punk bitch like Eddy Guerrero try and take Rob Van Dam down. Guerrero, we've already proven you can't beat
me on your own but instead of taking your ball and going home, you insist on
taking cheap shots at RVD week after week.
So what I want is Eddy Guerrero at Summertime Showdown but I don't just
want any normal match. No because that's
not enough of a beating for someone like Eddy Guerrero. What I want is a 30 Minute Ironman
match!" STYLES: "You
and Eddy Guerrero in a thirty minute Ironman match?" VAN DAM:
"That's right because that means all the fans are guranteed thirty
minutes of R-V-D and so is Eddy Guerrero." ["Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill] Eddy Guerrero
walked out onto the stage with a microphone... GUERRERO:
"You a little loco, esae? A
little too chonged, vato? You really
want Eddy Guerrero in a 30 minute Ironman match? You must be CRAZY, homey! You can't handle Eddy Guerrero for five
minutes, let alone thirty but if that's what you want, that's what you'll
get. I've been making fools outta vatos
better then you since I was fifteen, man.
And too bad for you homey that you're gonna be schooled, tooled and made
a fool by Eddy Guerrero for thirty straight minutes! I'm gonna blow the lid of RVD, I'm gonna
expose you Rob Van Dam. Expose you for
the fraud that you are. You're not even
in my league, vato, not even close!" Guerrero dropped
the microphone and walked to the back as Van Dam just shook his head. Rob Van Dam versus Eddy Guerrero at
Summertime Showdown in a 30 Minute Ironman Match! Match #5: Juventud Guerrera & Psicosis & Low Ki'
v. Rey Misterio Jr. & Taka Michinoku & Essa Rios. "Size 'Em Up" by Big L blared over
the speakers as Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Low Ki' all headed out to the
ring for six man Cruiserweight action.
Then, "Ashes To Ashes" by Madd One blared over the speakers as
the NGW World Cruiserweight Champion Rey Misterio Jr., Taka Michinoku and Essa
Rios made their way out to the ring.
Juventud Guerrera and Rey Misterio Jr. will battle it out for the title
at Summertime Showdown but tonight they were on opposite sides of a six man
match. These six great Cruiserweights
tore the house down with an incredible action packed match that left the crowd
exhausted. The ending would see Misterio
go for a doctor bomb on Juvy but Juvy dropped out with a DDT for two! Juvy took Misterio to the top and went up for
a super fisherman buster but Misterio shoved Juvy down to the mat. Juvy got to his feet and Rey came off with a
flying headscissors! Misterio covered
for the one ... two ... Psicosis breaks up the count! Taka Michinoku came in after Psicosis which
brought in Low Ki then Essa Rios as it erupted into a pier six brawl. Essa Rios took Low Ki to the outside and hit
an asai moonsault! Psicosis then came
out with a ropeflip moonsault to the outside!
Michinoku then jumped onto the pile with a running springboard
plancha! Misterio looked to slingshot
out but faked the guys on the outside and landed on the apron then came inside
with a Springboard Hurricanrana on Juvy!
Juvy rolls through and holds the cover on Rey for the one! two! THREE! Juventud Guerrera pins the World Cruiserweight
Champion with a quick reversal! If that
happens at Summertime Showdown, Da Juice will be Da Champ! WINNERS: Juventud Guerrera, Psicosis and Low Ki' in
15:20. Rating: **** [backstage] An angry 'Stone
Cold' Steve Austin was shown lacing up his boots when he was approached by The
Coach for an update... AUSTIN: "You
want an update? WHAT? YOU WANT AN
UPDATE? How am I feeling? Is that what you wanna know? SAY SOMETHING!" COACH:
"Ye.." AUSTIN: "SHUT
UP! Here's your update - Somebody is
gonna get their ass whipped tonight and that's the bottom line 'cause STONE
COLD said so!" Match #6: Taz (c) v. The Sandman - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title. "WAR
MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight
Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring. Then, "Enter Sandman" by Metallica
blared over the speakers as 'The Extreme Icon' The Sandman made his way out for
a title shot. If Taz can get by Sandman
here he will defend against Kanyon at Summertime Showdown. The ending of this one came real quick as
Sandman caught Taz with a DDT then headed up top but Taz popped right up and
went up to greet Sandman! Taz dumped Sandman
with a Head & Arm Super Tazplex!
Sandman staggered to his feet and Taz locked Sandman in the
Tazmission! Sandman quickly submitted to
the hold and Taz retained the U.S. Heavyweight Title! Taz is absolutly dominant as he takes apart
The Extreme Icon. WINNER: Taz in 1:38. Rating: * (Taz retained the NGW United States Heavyweight Title.) We then headed to
a video promo set to "Summertime" by Sublime for NGW's next
Pay-Per-View offering ... NGW SUMMERTIME SHOWDOWN ... The event comes to you on
July 21st, live from the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, FL on Pay-Per-View! 30 MINUTE IRONMAN MATCH - "THE WHOLE F'N
SHOW' ROB VAN DAM - EDDY GUERRERO!
"STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN - CHRIS JERICHO - THE REMATCH! Main Event: Steve Austin v. Kane. It was then time for our huge main event
match of the evening here on Ring Wars.
"Glass Shatters" by Disturbed blasted over the speakers as
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin headed out to the ring. Austin took to the four corners then paced
around the ring eager to get his hands on The Big Red Machine. Then, "Slow Chemical" by Finger
Eleven blared over the speakers as 'The Big Red Machine' Kane walked out to the
ring. Raven has brought this monster to
NGW and this is certainly his biggest match to date. As the lights came up, Austin exploded on
Kane with a flurry of punches to start the match. Austin tried to punch the big man down but
Kane drilled him with a knee then threw Austin into the corner. Kane went for an elbow but Austin slipped out
and went back to work on Kane. Austin
would have to keep the pace quick if he wanted to have success against
Kane. Austin faired well in the early
going but soon Kane's power took over and limited Austin to short small bursts
of offense. Both these men have big
matches coming up at Summertime Showdown, Austin with a rematch against Chris
Jericho and Kane challenging The Dudley Boyz for the World Tag Team Titles
along with Raven but Kane made it personal at the top of the show when he laid
out Austin after an ambush from The Flock.
The closing moments of this match would see Kane pick up Austin for a
running powerslam but Austin slipped out and rolled up Kane with an inside
cradle for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO!
Austin went for the Stunner but Kane shoved him off into the ropes and
goes for a big boot but Austin ducks underneath and STUNNER on KANE! But Chris Jericho slid into the ring before
Austin could cover but Austin catches Jericho with a Stunner! Austin flips off Jericho ... BROCK LESNAR is
coming out! Lesnar jumps on the apron,
Kane spins Austin around and grabs him for a Choke Slam but Lesnar comes in and
drills Austin from behind! Lesnar picks
up Austin and Terminator! The referee
calls for the bell DQ'ing Kane! WINNER: Steve Austin via DQ in 12:30. Rating: *** 3/4 Afterwards, Kane
was pissed at Brock Lesnar for causing him to get DQ'ed when Kane might have
put Austin away with a Choke Slam. These
two monsters went face to face but Raven quickly came in, Jericho got up and
the two called off their respective monsters.
Raven and Kane left the ring and backed up the ramp while Jericho took
some shots at Austin. All of a sudden
The Dudley Boyz came out and drilled Raven and Kane from behind! They knocked Raven down then Kane went for a
double clothesline but Buh Buh and D-Von ducked then hit a double suplex in the
aisleway! Chaos was breaking out all
over the place as Jericho and Lesnar were still dismantling Austin! It's chaotic and next week the World
Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner will be back! ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW officials are working to cut negative forces out of
