["I Need A Freak" by Too $hort]

 

  Midajah walked out of the entrance with the World Championship belt high in the air.  A few moments later, the World Champion himself 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner emerged but he wasn't alone.  Steiner had a brunette by the arm.  Styles quickly identified her as Rebecca, the wife of NGW Commissioner Shawn Michaels.  Rebecca's mouth was taped shut and she was visibly shaken as Steiner took her down to the ring.  Steiner took a microphone once in the ring.

 

STEINER:  "Don't move a muscle, bitch!  Well look who's back in the house!  You sit your damn fat asses down and show Big Poppa Pump the proper respect!"

 

  Shawn Michaels quickly rushed out of the entrance with no music...

 

STEINER:  "It's about time you got out here.  Looks like I got somethin' of yours, little man.  I got your bitch and now you're my bitch."

 

MICHAELS:  "What the hell do you want?  Leave her out of this!"

 

STEINER:  "What do I want?  I got what I want.  Well not quite, I'm thinkin' all these people need to see the Big Bad Booty Daddy in action.  They need to see what you get when you're one of my freaks!  All these hooches out here are mesmerized by the largest arms in the world but most of them are too disgusting to ever be one of my freaks.  I think I'm about to take what I want, I'm about to make your bitch one of my freaks.  Come on baby you been with that little man too long, I see you lookin' at me, wondering what it'd be like to be with a real man!"

 

MICHAELS:  "That's enough!  You're a sick bastard!"

 

STEINER:  "Here's the deal, baby, you give in to the Big Bad Booty Daddy, become one my fine freaks and let me [censored] and I won't put your husband in a wheelchair!"

 

MICHAELS:  "Don't listen to him!"

 

STEINER:  "You're just afraid she'll like it too much that she'll leave your ass, little man, and become a permanent freak!"

 

  Michaels couldn't stand it anymore and disregarded his own safety.  Michaels rushed into the ring and started drilling Steiner with punches while Rebecca ran out of the ring.  After being stunned for a moment, Steiner drilled Michaels in the gut with a knee.  Steiner grabbed HBK by the throat and backed him into the corner, yelling threats at him.  Every single NGW official and security bolted from the back and flooded the ring, pulling Steiner off of the Comissioner and preventing him from a further attack.  Steiner has crossed yet another line and is totally out of control...

 

Match #2: Simon Diamond & Swinger v. Evolution.  "Simon Says" by Drain STH blasted over the speakers as Dawn Marie led her team of Simon Diamond & Swinger out to the ring.  Then, "Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys blared over the speakers as Evolution, Jason Jett and Nova, made their way out to the ring.  Simon Diamond and Swinger were looking to keep the ball rolling and build on their win over Sabu and Devon Storm last week.  Decent back and forth action here between the two teams.  The ending would see Swinger send Nova into the ropes and duck down for a backdrop but Nova hit a rocker dropper!  Nova went up to the second turnbuckle and connected with a Nova Blast for the one ... two ... THR ... Simon breaks the pin!  Jason Jett flipped in with an Afterburner to Simon!  Nova and Jett then picked up Swinger and planted him with a Double Team Crash Landing!  Nova covered Swinger for the one ... two ... THREE!  Evolution score a big win over Simon Diamond & Swinger in this highly competitive tag team division!

 

WINNERS: Evolution in 5:17.

  Chris Jericho is shown pumping up Brock Lesnar in his locker room when Eddy Guerrero enters...

 

GUERRERO:  "Damn ése!  That is one big vato!"

 

JERICHO:  "When you're the best, when you're larger than life, when you're Chris Jericho you only run with the biggest and baddest."

 

GUERRERO:  "I guess so.  Tonight, me and you, homey, we gotta team up against Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam."

 

JERICHO:  "Austin [shakes his head] How many times do I have to embarass that man?  How many times do I have to show him he's not on the level of Chris Jericho?  Stone Cold, you know, I know, Brock Lesnar knows, Eddy Guerrero knows, all those idiots in the crowd know that you can't beat Chris Jericho.  The only reason I'm gonna even waste my time beating Stone Cold again is because this time I'll get a guranteed shot at the World Champion."

 

GUERRERO:  "Damn straight.  That RVD, that Rob Van Dam, he must be smokin' a little somethin' funny cause he's loco if he thinks he stands a chance against Eddy Guerrero in a 30 minute Ironman match.  Hey Brock, how many times do you think I can beat RVD in 30 minutes?"

 

  Lesnar just stares at Guerrero and growls.

 

GUERRERO:  "I'll take that as a lot.  See, RVD, the question is not if I can beat you, its how many times?"

 

JERICHO:  "I ay atleast five and I say let's wipe the floor with these jackasses tonight."

 

Match #3: Scotty Riggs v. Brock Lesnar.  "Broken" by 12 Stones blared over the speakers as Scotty Riggs headed out to the ring for an unenviable position.  Then, "Head Up" by Deftones blasted over the speakers as Brock Lesnar made his way down to the ring.  Riggs went right at Lesnar with punches and chops that didn't even faze the big man.  Lesnar grabbed Riggs by the throat and threw him into the corner then drove shoulders into the gut of Riggs.  Lesnar backed up and charged in but Riggs ducked out and Lesnar hit the turnbuckle.  Riggs came in but Lesnar grabbed Riggs, turned and dumped him with an overhead belly to belly suplex!  Lesnar picked up Riggs and planted him with the Terminator!  Brock made the academic cover for the one-two-three!  This man is unstoppable...

 

WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 0:49.

Rating: 1/4*

  The Coach caught up with Shawn Michaels in the parking garage where Michaels finished putting his wife in a limo and sending it away...

 

MICHAELS:  "Scott Steiner!  You put your hands on me, I'm a man, I dealt with it.  But you put your hands on my wife, that just doesn't fly on any level with me.  DO YOU KNOW WHO THE HELL I AM?!  I'm SHAWN MICHAELS and I don't lay down for anybody!  You've forced my hand, Steiner.  You're making me go back on my word, you're making a liar out me.  I said I wasn't gonna abuse my power but I've got other choice.  You dare to show your face this Sunday, I'm gonna do something I shouldn't do, I'm gonna deal with you once and for all and I'm gonna you wish you never put your hands on me or my wife!"

 

Match #4: Scott Vick v. Vampiro.  "(sic)" by SlipKnot blasted over the speakers as 'Sick' Scott Vick of The Flock made his way out to the ring.  Then, "Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro headed out to the ring.  vampiro has had his problems with Jeff Jarrett in recent weeks but would have to concentrate on Scott Vick here.  The ending would see Vick go for a springboard clothesline but Vampiro caught Vick and planted him with an uranage!  Vampiro headed up top and came off with a phoenix senton but Vick rolled out of the way!  Vick went for the Cure but Vampiro countered it with a backdrop then hit a superkick for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Vampiro sent Vick into the corner and charged in but Vick got the feet up.  Vick came at Vampiro but Vampiro scooped up Vick, walked to the middle of the ring and hit the Vampiro Spike for the one ... two ... THREE!  Vampiro picks up a good win!

 

WINNER: Vampiro in 4:31.

  Afterwards, Vampiro wasn't done.  He grabbed a microphone...

 

VAMPIRO:  "Jeff Jarrett!  It's time The Chosen One met his fate.  If you've got any guts, if you're any kind of a man you'll step through the light and into the darkness to meet your fate this Sunday!"

 

["Cowboy" by Kid Rock]

 

  Jeff Jarrett was quick to respond as The Chosen One walked out of the entrance with a mic...

 

JARRETT:  "Hey slapnuts!  You want some of the Chosen One this Sunday?  You got it!  But I'm gonna beat you so bad that I'll send you back to whatever hole you crawled out of!  Choke on that, freak!"

 

VAMPIRO:  "You know what?  I'm gonna do you a favor.  Seeing as you like hitting people with guitar's so much, I'm gonna let you come down here and bash that guitar over my head!"

 

JARRETT:  "You asked for it..."

 

  Jarrett came down to the ring with his guitar.  Vampiro stood with his back to Jarrett.  Jarrett swung but the lights went out!  The lights came back on and Vampiro was gone!  But we heard his voice over the speakers,

 

VAMPIRO:  "I don't think so!  See you this Sunday, Jarrett!"

 

  The Chosen One was left wondering where the hell Vampiro had gone...

  The Coach got some comments from 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin.  Austin paced around then grabbed the microphone from Coach and shoved him away.

 

AUSTIN:  "Chris Jericho ... You bring your monster this Sunday, you bring your cocky ass attitude, you bring every single solitary thing that you have because you're gonna need it.  You're gonna need everything you have to be able to stand up after I get done whipping your ass!  When you run your mouth it becomes clear to Stone Cold Steve Austin that you're runnin' scared.  You're running scared because you know you've done more then piss me off.  You've done it, Chris Jericho, you've gotten to me.  You've gotten under Stone Cold Steve Austin's skin.  You pushed me, you pushed some more and you keep pushing me.  You've pushed me so far that when I lock eyes with you, I don't see the jackass that cost me the World Championship, I don't see the rat bastard that needed a monster to beat me, what I see is a man I will go to the end of the earth and back just so I can whip your ass!  Chris Jericho, in six days, you go one on one with Stone Cold, the ****'s ON! And there ain't a damn thing you do about it and THAT's the bottom line ... 'Cause Stone Cold SAID SO!"

 

Match #6: Kaz Hayashi v. Rey Misterio Jr. - Non-Title.  "I Don't Mind" by Drain STH blared over the speakers as Kaz Hayashi headed out to the ring for our next match.  Then, "Ashes To Ashes" by Madd One blared over the speakers as the NGW World Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio Jr. made his way out to the ring.  This is a non-title rematch from Hostile City Showdown where Misterio beat Hayashi in the finals of the Cruiserweight Cup to capture the World Cruiserweight Title.  During this match, Misterio's challenger for Summertime Showdown, 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera walked out and watched the match.  The ending would see Kaz go for a DDT but Rey swept out the legs and hit a legdrop low on Hayashi.  Rey went out to the apron for a Springboard Hurricanrana but Kaz dropkicked the ropes and Rey fell hard to the outside!  Kaz then jumped out onto Misterio with a Quebrada!  Kaz rolled Misterio into the ring and headed up top.  Kaz came off with the Senton Bomb but Misterio got the knees up into the spine of Kaz!  Kaz struggled to his feet and Rey hit a Misterio Rana for the one ... two ... THREE!  Rey Misterio Jr pulls out the win over Kaz Hayashi!

Rating: *** 1/2

 

  After the match, Juventud Guerrera exploded into the ring after Misterio, Rey tried to whip Juvy into the ropes but Juvy reversed it, went for a spinning backbreaker but Rey countered it with a spinning headscissors sending Juvy to the floor.  Rey bounced off the ropes to dive out but Juvy backed off and Misterio spun around in the ropes.  Juvy was pissed that his sneak attack didn't work while Rey challenged Juvy to come get some more but Juvy walked away...

 

Main Event: Steve Austin & Rob Van Dam v. Chris Jericho & Eddy Guerrero.  "Glass Shatters" by Disturbed blared over the speakers as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin headed out to the ring first.  "Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam made his way out.  Austin and Van Dam have teamed before but have been on opposite sides of the ring just as much if not more.  Then, "Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill blared over the speakers as Eddy Guerrero walked down the aisle but stopped short of the ring.  "Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust blasted over the speakers as 'Y2J' Chris Jericho headed out.  Austin and RVD were eage for Jericho and Guerrero to get into the ring but Jericho and Eddy stalled until one of Austin and RVD was on the apron.  The referee forced Austin out to the apron.  As he did, Jericho and Guerrero rushed into the ring and ambushed Rob Van Dam with a double team.  Stone Cold came right in and evened things up and the match was on.  Austin took Jericho to the floor with a big right hand then went out after Jericho leaving Guerrero and Van Dam in the ring.  It'd take a few minutes before things would settle down into a tag team contest.  As we know, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Chris Jericho will meet once more but this time the winner will be the Number One Contender for the World Championship.  Rob Van Dam and Eddy Guerrero will take their feud to a new level in a 30 Minute Ironman match where the most falls in 30 minutes wins it.  The closing moments of this tag team match would see Guerrero go for a brain buster on Van Dam but RVD floated over and went for a german suplex but Guerrero elbowed him off.  Guerrero sent Van Dam into the corner but RVD jumped up top and came off with a flying kick but Guerrero pulled the referee in the way!  Guerrero nailed Van Dam low and hit a reverse neckbreaker!  Eddy headed to the top and came off with the Frog Splash!  It hits!  But Stone Cold came in and caught Guerrero with a Stunner!  Austin flipped off Guerrero but Chris Jericho slid in with a steel chair and smashed Austin in the head busting him open!  Jericho covered Austin as the dazed referee crawled over and counted the one ... two ... THREE!  Chris Jericho has scored another pinfall over Steve Austin heading into their match this Sunday!

 

WINNERS: Chris Jericho and Eddy Guerrero in 12:21.

  We cut to The Coach as he caught up with the NGW World Champion, Scott Steiner as he was leaving the building.  Coach asked Big Poppa Pump if he was gonna show up at Summertime Showdown...

 

STEINER:  "You bet your ass I'll be there.  Shawn Michaels doesn't scare me, his threats don't scare me, and no matter what he thinks he has up his sleeve, he can't stop me.  No one can.  I just hope he tries."

 

  Steiner laughed as he got into his limo and left.  What will Shawn Michaels have in store for the World Champion this Sunday if Steiner shows up?  There's only way to find out...
