-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-

 

  "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; Kane, Chris Kanyon, The Dudley Boyz, Taz, Brock Lesnar, Sabu, Eddy Guerrero, Vampiro, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash, 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 hyping up tonight's Main Event as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'THE HUMAN SUPLEX MACHINE' TAZ teams up with 'STONE COLD' STEVE AUSTIN to battle EDDY GUERRERO and the NGW WORLD CHAMPION, 'BIG POPPA PUMP' SCOTT STEINER!  Plus, Jeff Jarrett and Vampiro will meet in their No Holds Barred Match, Juventud Guerrera and Psicosis have signed to go one-on-one plus much, much more...

 

Opening Match: Randy Orton v. Chris Kanyon.  "Pressure" by From Zero blared over the speakers as Randy Orton headed out to the ring to make his New Generation Wrestling debut.  Then, "Immune" by Godsmack blared over the speakers as Chris Kanyon made his way out.  Kanyon was fighting back a smile as he looked at the newcomer in the ring.  Orton may be a young rookie but he's no stranger to wrestling as he's a third generation wrestler and the son of the legendary Cowboy Bob Orton.  Kanyon seemed to be taking Orton a little lightly in the beginning until Orton got some offense going.  Kanyon showed his experience by cutting off the offense of Orton.  The ending would see Kanyon go for a rocker dropper but Orton slipped out and rolled up Kanyon with a small package for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Kanyon went for a superkick but Orton ducked it and hit a bulldog for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO!  Kanyon got the shoulder up!  Orton tried to send Kanyon into the ropes but Kanyon reversed it and hit a shoulder lift flapjack!  Kanyon picked up Orton and hit a swinging fisherman suplex for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Orton kicked up!  Kanyon headed up top and came off with a flying clothesline but Orton ducked, quickly went up top and came off with the High Cross Body!  Orton hits it and one! two! THREE!  ORTON WINS IT!  Orton upsets Kanyon!

 

WINNER: Randy Orton in 5:04.

Rating: ** 1/2

 

  Afterwards, Randy Orton rolled out of the ring as Chris Kanyon got up enraged and embarassed after losing to the newcomer!

  The Coach was standing by with NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels who apparently had some big news...

 

MICHAELS:  "Last week was a rocky week and the past couple months haven't been the best for me personally.  But that's gonna change tonight because tonight I've got a treat for all those people out there.  I've got a huge surprise for all of you.  The surprise is on its way and I gurantee you that when its revealed, no one will be dissapointed."

 

Match #2: Brock Lesnar v. Faarooq.  "Head Up" by Deftones blared over the speakers as Brock Lesnar headed out to the ring.  Then, "El Cu Cuy" by Coal Chambers blasted over the speakers as Faarooq made his way out to the ring.  Unlike his previous opponents, Faarooq was much bigger, stronger, experienced and just not afraid of Brock Lesnar.  Lesnar couldn't throw Faarooq around in the beginning but when Faarooq tried to match power with Lesnar, Brock was much stronger.  The ending would see Brock go for a military press but Faarooq blocked it and raked Lesnar's eyes twice.  Faarooq then came at Lesnar with a diving shoulderblock sending Lesnar down to a knee.  Faarooq sent Lesnar into the ropes and went for the Spinebuster but Lesnar drilled Faarooq with a knee.  Lesnar picked up Faarooq and hit a big Terminator for the one ... two ... THREE!  Brock Lesnar continues to dominate with a huge win over Faarooq.

 

WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 1:06.

Rating: 1/4*

  The Coach got some comments from Sabu and Devon Storm, the team that will challenge Raven & Kane for the World Tag Team Titles at SuperClash...

 

STORM:  "Funny thing ... It's because of Raven and Kane that we came together as a team.  So SuperClash couldn't get any better for us.  Not only do we get a shot at the World Tag Team Titles but he get revenge on Raven and Kane.  Raven wants everyone to feel his pain, well Raven, pain is only a four letter word.  We're not gonna feel your pain or Kane's pain, but mark my words, you will feel pain."

 

  The Dudley Boyz walk up to Sabu and Devon Storm...

 

BUH BUH:  "With all due respect, you've been a tag team for what?  A few months?  We've been busted our asses together for over six years and we're not gonna stop until put those World Tag Team Titles back where they belong, on our shoulders."

 

D-VON:  "So if you think you're gonna go into SuperClash without going thruogh The Dudley Boyz then think again!  Quit thinking about Raven and Kane, and get your mind on us."

 

STORM:  "We're not looking past you, not in the least.  I agree with you, we gotta go through the best tag team in wrestling history, The Dudley Boyz, but believe me when I say this ... We're up to the challenge."

 

  That tag team match is next...

 

Match #3: Sabu & Devon Storm v. The Dudley Boyz.  "Little Crazy" by Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led out 'The Human Highlight Reel' Sabu and 'Dangerous' Devon Storm headed out to the ring.  Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as The Dudley Boyz made their way out to the ring.  The Dudley Boyz held onto the World Tag Team Titles for three months until dropping them to Raven & Kane at Summertime Showdown.  Buh Buh and D-Von were looking to put down the number one contenders and possibly take their shot at Raven & Kane at SuperClash.  The ending would see Sabu go for a frankensteiner on Buh Buh but Buh Buh countered it with a power bomb and covered Sabu for the one ... two ... THR ... Storm breaks the count!  Buh Buh and the referee forced Storm out.  Buh Buh went back to pick up Sabu but Sabu caught him with a DDT!  Sabu made the tag to Storm.  Storm sent Buh Buh into the ropes for a backdrop but Buh Buh kicked Storm in the face and hit a clothesline then made the tag to D-Von.  Buh Buh slammed down Storm and D-Von headed up top.  Sabu came in from behind and caught Buh Buh with an inverted DDT.  D-Von came off with the flying headbutt but Storm rolled out of the way!  Storm hit the Mind Bender on D-Von for the one ... two ... THREE!  Sabu & Devon Storm take a big win over the former World Tag Team Champions!

 

WINNERS: Sabu and Devon Storm in 6:06.

["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust]

 

  Chris Jericho slowly came through the curtain, revealing a big white cast on his nose.  The cast was held on by two long strips of white tape and looked just ridiculous.  Jericho walked down to the ring and took a microphone...

 

JERICHO:  "First of all would please all SHUT THE HELL UP!  You people should be sympathizing with Chris Jerihco, not mocking me!  How dare you mock me!  Look at me!  Look at this hideous cast!  I ... I ... I look like all of you ... HORRID!  Now I almost didn't come out here tonight but I couldn't deprive all the Jericholics.  Unlike all of you fat slobs who are in denial about just how ugly you are, Chris Jericho is fully aware of how stupid this cast looks.  Chris Jericho cares about his appearance because this face is MONEY."

 

["Walk" by Pantera]

 

  Chris Jericho was cut off as 'The Whole F'N Show' Rob Van Dam walked down to the ring in street clothes.

 

JERICHO:  "What the hell are you doing out here?  Haven't you done enough already?  LOOK AT ME!  Look at what you've done!"

 

VAN DAM:  "That's why I came out here, to take a look at my work.  What'd you say people?  I say Chris Jericho looks a lot better with his face covered up."

 

JERICHO:  "You jackass!  JACKASS! JACKASS! JACKASS!  I hate you, you son of a bitch!  I am gonna make you pay for this!"

 

  Rob Van Dam steps up into Chris Jericho's face...

 

VAN DAM:  "I broke your nose without even trying, do you really wanna piss me off?  Do you really wanna see what I can do to you when I'm trying?"

 

JERICHO:  "You're right, how about we put all of this behind us?  It was a mistake, it happens.  Put 'er there Rob..."

 

  Jericho extends his hand out but Van Dam just shakes his head, seeing through Jericho's phony apology.  Quickly, Jericho's motives emerged as BROCK LESNAR hit the ring!  Van Dam turned around but it was too late as Lesnar grabbed him by the throat with two hands and threw him into the corner.  Lesnar drove shoulders into RVD's midsection then pulled him out and leveled RVD with a lariat.  Lesnar picked up Van Dam and drilled him with a Sprial Bomb!  Jericho laughed then paintbrushed RVD, pointing to his broken nose then leaving with Brock Lesnar.  Rob Van Dam has been dismantled...

 

Match #4: Juventud Guerrera v. Psicosis.  The winner of this match will go onto SuperClash to challenge Rey Misterio Jr. for the NGW World Cruiserweight Title.  "Size 'Em Up" by Big L blared over the speakers as 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera made his way out to the ring.  Then, "Loco" by Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis headed out to the ring.  Juvy and Psicosis seemed to be attempting to form an alliance over the past couple weeks but both attempts ended in miscommunications and losses to Rey Misterio Jr.  The ending would see Psicosis go for an inverted suplex but Juvy flipped over onto his feet and hit a german suplex for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Juvy placed Psicosis on the top rope, went out to the apron and came in with a springboard frankensteiner on Psicosis!  Juvy positioned Psicosis then went up top and came off with a 450 Splash but Psicosis rolled out of the way!  Psicosis slammed down Juvy, went up top and hit a Cancun Tornado Senton!  Psicosis covered for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Psicosis hit a wheelbarrow suplex then headed back up top.  Psicosis came off with the Guillotine Legdrop but Juvy rolled out of the way!  Juvy pulled Psicosis in for the Running Power Bomb but Psicosis dropped out!  Psicosis went for a falcon arrow but Juvy blocked it and hit a fisherman buster for the one ... two ... THREE!  Juventud Guerrera pulls it out over Psicosis to get another shot at Rey Jr.

 

WINNER: Juventud Guerrera in 10:08.

Rating: *** 3/4

  The Coach got some comments from the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner...

 

STEINER:  "All is right in the world ... All is right in New Generation Wrestling because Big Poppa Pump is still the World Champion.  Shawn Michaels tried to screw me outta the title but he couldn't get the job done.  In a way, I was happy with all that went down because atleast in Kevin Nash I got somebody new to hurt.  Someone new to break and someone new to destroy.  But at SuperClash, its the same old, same old, Stone Cold Steve Austin.  Stone Cold, when are you gonna just quit?  You tried once, I beat you.  You tried again.  I beat you.  Then you tried once more, and once again you went down to the largest arms in the world!  I want some competition!  Stone Cold, you are no competition for a genetic freak.  Its like a broken record, at SuperClash, I will beat Stone Cold Steve Austin again."

 

Match #5: Jeff Jarrett v. Vampiro - No Holds Barred.  "Cowboy" by Kid Rock blared over the speakers as 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out of the entrance with his guitar in hand.  A referee came out of the entrance and took the guitar away from Jarrett.  That was the deal last week, Jarrett would leave the guitar in the back.  Jarrett was pissed but headed down to the ring anyways.  Then, "Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro made his way out to the ring.  Vampiro went right at Jarrett but Jarrett ducked out of the ring, slowing things down.  Jarrett came back in and scored with an early cheap shot to take over on Vampiro.  Vampiro soon came back and the fight was on.  These two rivals slugged it out in a back and forth brawl.  The ending would see Vampiro head up top for a phoenix senton but Jarrett caught up to him, went up and hit a belly-to-back superplex for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Jarrett hit a single arm DDT on Vampiro for 2 3/4!  Jarrett then went for a piledriver but Vampiro countered it with a backdrop sending Jarrett over the top to the outside!  Vamprio was down and out on the inside.  Jarrett went under the ring and pulled out a guitar then turned his back to the ring.  Vampiro came through the ropes, Jarrett turned and blasted Vampiro in the head with the guitar!  Jarrett slid in and covered Vampiro for the one ... two ... THREE!  Damn that Jeff Jarrett!  What a sneaky bastard!

 

WINNER: Jeff Jarrett in 7:41.

Rating: ** 1/2

  We cut out to the parking garage as a white limousine pulled up to the arena.  Who's in the limo?  Could that have something to do with Shawn Michaels' surprise?

 

Main Event: Scott Steiner & Eddy Guerrero v. Taz & Steve Austin.  "I Need A Freak" by Too $hort blared over the speakers as the NGW World Champion, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner headed out to the ring.  "Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill brought Eddy Guerrero down to the ring.  Then, "WAR MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out.  "Glass Shatters" by Disturbed blared over the speakers as 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin made his way out.  Scott Steiner will defend the World Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin at SuperClash while Taz and Eddy Guerrero were on opposite sides of a tag team match last week and have an ongoing issue.  Steiner and Guerrero worked a little better as a team then Austin and Taz as Austin and Taz both wanted to do it all on their own.  The closing moments of the match would see Austin go for a Thesz Press on Steiner but Steiner countered it with a belly to belly suplex for two.  Steiner took Austin up top and hit a super samoan drop for the one ... two ... THR ... Taz breaks it up!  Steiner sent Austin into the ropes but this time Austin hit the Thesz Press and hammered on Steiner.  Austin picked up Steiner and hit a Stun Gun for the one ... two ... THR ... Guerrero breaks it up!  Steiner caught Austin with a full nelson bomb then made the tag to Guerrero.  Guerrero tried to send Austin into the ropes, Austin reversed it, Guerrero ducked a clothesline then came off with a leg lariat!  Guerrero tried a brain buster but Austin blocked it and hit a vertical suplex then made the tag to Taz.  Taz came in and hit a Hardway Tazplex on Guerrero for the one ... two ... THR ... Steiner breaks it up!  That brought in Stone Cold.  Austin peppered Steiner with rights then sent him into the ropes.  Steiner came off with a Steinerline but Austin ducked and Steiner caught the referee!  Austin then knocked Steiner out of the ring with a clothesline.  Guerrero drilled Austin low then Taz went for the Tazmission but Guerrero caught him with a low back kick.  Steiner grabbed the lead pipe and came back in.  Steiner went to nail Austin but Austin ducked and grabbed the pipe away.  Austin swung at Steiner but Steiner ducked and Austin drilled Taz!  Steiner then crushed Austin with a Steinerline!  Guerrero went to the top and came off with the Frog Splash on Taz!  The referee crawled over and counted the one ... two ... THREE!  Eddy Guerrero picks up the pin on Taz after an errant lead pipe shot from Stone Cold!

 

WINNERS: Scott Steiner and Eddy Guerrero in 10:54.

  We returned from our final break...

 

["Oh! Oh! Shawn!"]

 

  The NGW Commissioner, 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels headed out to the ring looking to be in much better spirits then we've seen him in recent weeks.  Michaels took the microphone...

 

MICHAELS:  "Its been a rough few weeks but things are changing.  I'll admit, I got in over my head with Scott Steiner and I'll be leaving Big Poppa Pump to Stone Cold Steve Austin because Stone doesn't need or would want my help.  Now let's get to the big surprise for tonight.  I'm committed to New Generation Wrestling and committed to expanding this company and making it the best that it can be.  That means bringing in the best talent that I can find and that's what I've done.  I've signed one of the biggest names in wrestling and he's here tonight.  So..."

 

["Wolfpac Theme"]

 

  Shawn Michaels was cut off as 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash walked out of the entrance.  Michaels seemed a little confused as the big man walked down to the ring and stepped over the top rope looking to be in a foul mood.  Nash had a microphone...

 

MICHAELS:  "Whatever this is, can't it wait?"

 

NASH:  "Hell no it can't wait!  You want a surprise?  You all want a surprise?  I'll give you a damn surprise.  Shawn, you used to have balls but now you're exactly what Scott Steiner said you were, you're a big pussy!  Yeah that's right, you're a goddamn pussy!  The old Shawn Michaels would never have caved in to the Board of Directors.  The old Shawn Michaels would've said to hell with them but you?  You're a joke!  Now instead of lighting the world on fire, not giving a damn about anyone or anything, turning this business on its ear, you'll do anything to hold onto your job as Commissioner.  Yeah, you've gotta be the Comissioner because without that job, you wouldn't be on television because nobody really gives a **** about Shawn Michaels anymore!  You're done, you can't wrestle but you're ego won't let you sit at home so you've turned into everything we rebelled against.  I should be the World Champion but I'm not because you're ego wouldn't allow you to stand up for your friend!  So I'm gonna do you a favor, Shawn, I'm gonna send you home for good before you turn into more of a pussy then you are right now!"

 

  Kevin Nash drilled Michaels with a forearm then pulled him in for the Jacknife Powerbomb when...

 

["Can You Dig It? SUCKA!"]

 

  WHAT THE?!  BOOKER T came out of the entrance with a microphone and headed down towards the ring.  Booker T must be the surprise, the man Shawn Michaels signed...

 

BOOKER:  "Back the hell up off him, big man!"

 

  Booker slid into the ring and pulled Shawn Michaels away from Kevin Nash.  Michaels rolled out of the ring to the outside while Booker T stepped up in Nash's face.

 

NASH:  "What're you thinkin' getting in my face?  This doesn't involve you."

 

BOOKER:  "It does involve me cause you're stepping in on my time.  That man right there gave me a job.  He gave you a job and he even put his ass on the line for you.  It's not his fault, you blew your shot at the World Championship.  You're big, you're mad, you're pissed off and you wanna take it out on somebody.  Why don't you take it out on Booker T, sucka?"

 

NASH:  "Ok, ok, this was supposed to be Booker T's big debut.  You don't want your first appearance in NGW to be your last, do ya?  Sucka?"

 

BOOKER:  "Save the drama for yo mama, and let's get it on like a neckbone, SUCKA!"

 

  Booker and Nash started trading right hands.  Nash kneed Booker then sent him into the ropes but Booker came off with a big Harlem Sidekick sending Nash through the ropes and out of the ring!  Booker's music hit as Nash backed off.  Shawn Michaels slid back into the ring and shook hands with Booker T then raised his hand as the show came to a close.  BOOKER T is in NGW!
