"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 Paul Heyman welcoming everyone to the show because Joey Styles was
in the ring. We'll get to that in a
minute. Heyman announced tonight's giant
Main Event as it will be 'THE WHOLE F'N SHOW' ROB VAN DAM going one-on-one with
'BIG SEXY' KEVIN NASH! Also Jeff Jarrett
and Eddy Guerrero team up against Taz and Vampiro. All that and more just six days from
SuperClash but first we kick it to Joey Styles in the ring... STYLES: "For
a couple weeks we've seen this young man score a few upset wins. We've heard a lot about him but we haven't
heard from him. So ladies and gentlemen,
would you please join me in welcoming ... RANDY ORTON!" ["Here To Stay" by KoRn] Randy Orton
headed out to the ring in street clothes to a decent reaction from the crowd... STYLES:
"Randy Orton, how's it feel, at the young age of 22 to not only
make it the big time but already have two wins under your belt?" ORTON: "It
feels great to be here but I wouldn't be here if I didn't belong. You know, Joey, I've been involved in
wrestling my whole life and I've always been told ... Kid, you're gonna lose
most of your matches in the beginning but you've got to take those losses and
use them to make yourself better. Well,
as my dad would say, that's just plain BULL****! I didn't come here to lose, I didn't come
here to make mistakes, I came here to win, I..." ["Come Out And Play" by Offspring] Orton was
interrupted as Raven walked out of the entrance. Raven paused, looked around then continued
down to the ring. Raven outstretched his
arms to a chorus of boos and then took a microphone.. STYLES:
"Raven, just what are you doing out here? This isn't your time, you've a match with
Sabu tonight you should be preparing for." RAVEN:
"You're going to tell me, one half of the World Tag Team Champions,
how to act? Go back and sit behind that
desk before I do to you what I'd like to do to all the inhabitants of this den
of iniquity. I didn't come out here to
answer your asinine questions, Joey Styles, I came out here to speak to Randy
Orton. Randy, you've probably been
wondering why I put down Kanyon with the Evenflow DDT last week and gave you a
second win. I gave you another win
because I feel your pain." ORTON: "My
pain? What the hell are you talking
about?" RAVEN: "Allow
me to elaborate. For those who remember
your father, Cowboy Bob Orton, will remember that he really never was that
great. He was a cheater and everyone
knew it. You knew it. The kids on the playground knew it and there
was no escaping it. The neighborhood
children would gather around to watch wrestling but what did they see? They saw their heroes being cheap shotted and
broken down by your father. They hated
him and that hate was transfered to you.
And now you're expected to carry on his legacy? You're expected to follow in his
footsteps? Why? So one day your children will go through the
same pain you went through? Randy Orton,
I feel your pain. But put aside your differences
with Kanyon, come with me and I'll set you free!" Orton stood with
his head in his hands, pondering Raven's offer and taking in everything that he
just laid on him. ORTON:
"No..." RAVEN:
"No? NO? You can't refuse me. I'm the man that understands you, and the man
that feels your pain. You'll be nothing
without me. Nothing but ashamed by your
loser of a father. What about me? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?" Orton lost it and
drilled Raven with a right hand. Raven
tried to fire back but Orton took down Raven and started pounding him with
rights and lefts. All of a sudden Scott
Vick, Chris Kanyon and Kane hit the ring!
Orton knocked down Vick with a lariat but was grabbed by Kanyon. Kane went for a big boot but Orton moved and
Kane hit Kanyon! Raven nailed Orton low
then Kane grabbed him by the throat and CHOKE SLAM! That wasn't enough for Raven. Raven barked out orders and Kanyon brought a
chair into the ring. Kane and Vick
picked up Orton and fed him in to Raven, who spiked Orton with the Evenflow DDT
onto the chair busting him wide open!
NGW officials flooded the ring but the damage had been done... Opening Match: Psicosis v. La Parka. "Loco" by Coal Chamber blasted over
the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis headed out to the ring. Then, "The Best Way To Die" by Jet
Set Satellite blared over the speakers as La Parka made his way out to the
ring. La Parka isn't exactly a Cruiserweight
but his lucha style fits right in with the Cruiserweights and he's wrestled
many of them in the past. Parka's
ability sometimes gets lost due to his flamboyant nature. The ending would see Parka take Psicosis up
top for a belly-to-belly superplex but Psicosis shoved him off. Psicosis came off with a crossbody block but
Parka caught him in a big powerslam.
Parka picked up Psicosis and planted him with a power bomb for the one
... two ... THR ... NO! Psicosis got the
shoulder up! Parka was sure he had won
but the referee informed him it was only two.
Parka headed up top and came off with the Twisting Bodyblock but
Psicosis moved out of the way! Psicosis
then planted Parka with a falcon arrow.
Psicosis went top the top and came off with the Guillotine Legdrop for
the one ... two .. THREE! Psicosis picks
up a hard fought win over La Parka. WINNER: Psicosis in 7:05. Rating: *** [backstage] We cut to The
Coach, who had some information regarding 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin... COACH:
"Thanks, Scott. While not
scheduled for a match tonight, 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin was planning on being
here. Now I just got off the phone with
Stone Cold and he had some transportation problems. He's just landed and he's gonna do whatever
he can to make it here before the night is done. We're still not sure whether the World
Champion, Scott Steiner plans on showing up here tonight but I'll keep you
posted." [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Brock Lesnar walking through the halls with Chris Jericho. Jericho was still sporting his hideous nose
cast. JERICHO: "You
ready, big man? You've got Bradshaw
tonight. He's a tough guy but he's got
nothing on you. You'll destroy him. Things are finally starting to go my way because
tonight, Rob Van Dam has to face Kevin Nash and Nash is one big mean guy. He's no you of course but he's tough. And then the best news of all ... tommorow I
get this stupid cast of my face and once again the world can embrace the beauty
of Chris Jericho. And then Sunday, that
jackass RVD, oh look at me and my big ego, I'm everybody's favorite wrestler,
blah, blah, blah, I can't stand him! RVD
gets more then he can handle with Chris Jericho." Match #2: Brock Lesnar v. Bradshaw. "Head Up" by Deftones blasted over
the speakers as Brock Lesnar walked out to the ring along with Chris
Jericho. Halfway down the aisle, Jericho
got upset with the fans remarks and returned to the back. Then, "El Cu Cuy" by Coal Chamber
blared over the speakers as Bradshaw made his way out to the ring. Bradshaw slid into the ring and drilled
Lesnar with a flurry of hard rights. Bradshaw
sent Lesnar into the ropes and drilled him with a big boot that knocked Lesnar
in a circle but not down to the mat.
Bradshaw bounced off the ropes and went for the Clothesline From Hell
but Lesnar ducked. Lesnar picked up
Bradshaw and planted him with a spinebuster.
Lesnar hammered on Bradshaw in the corner then picked him up for a
running powerslam but Bradshaw dropped out and pushed Lesnar chest first into
the turnbuckle. Bradshaw then drilled
Lesnar with the Clothesline From Hell and down goes Lesnar! Bradshaw celebrated this but Lesnar just
popped right back up to his feet looking more angry then ever. Lesnar drilled Bradshaw with a running lariat
of his own. Lesnar picked up Bradshaw
and planted him with the Terminator for the one ... two ... THREE! This man cannot be stopped. WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 1:40. Rating: * [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera... JUVY: "The
Juice got robbed last time against Rey Rey but not this time. This time there will be no escaping the Juice
for Rey Misterio Jr. and I will be the World Cruiserweight Champion
forever! But I don't just want to beat
Rey, I want to hurt him so let's make it a Mexican Death Match! That is if little Rey is man enough!" Rey Misterio Jr.
walks up to Juvy... REY: "Let's
do it, Juvy but just one question, what the hell is this Juice you're always
talking about?" JUVY: "I got
the juice, its what you don't got." REY: "Ok, you
can your 'Juice' cause I've got the World Cruiserweight Title and its what you
don't got! And its what you won't get
this Sunday!" Match #3: Juventud Guerrera v. Essa Rios. "Size 'Em Up" by Big L blared over
the speakers as 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera headed out to the ring. Then, "Papi Chulo" by Funkdoobiest
blared over the speakers as Essa Rios made his way out to the ring. We just found out that when Juventud Guerrera
challenges Rey Misterio Jr. for the World Cruiserweight Title this Sunday at
SuperClash it will be a Mexican Death Match.
Essa Rios has put together a few good wins in recent weeks and was
looking to upset The Juice. The ending
would see Rios send Juvy into the ropes and go for a backdrop but Juvy
countered it in mid-air with a dropkick.
Juvy went for the Running Powerbomb but Rios countered it with a
hurricanrana for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Rios tried to send Juvy into the ropes but
Juvy pulled Rios in and hit a Blockbuster Suplex for two. Juvy headed up top but Rios would springboard
off the ropes and catch Juvy with an armdrag!
Rios went up for a Moonsault Press but Juvy came over and picked up Rios
off the top and hit the Running Power Bomb for the one ... two ... THREE! Juventud Guerrera pulls out the win over Essa
Rios heading into his Mexican Death Match with Rey Misterio Jr. WINNER: Juventud Guerrera in 11:37. Rating: *** 1/2 [backstage] We cut out to the
garage to see two limousines pulling up to the arena. Out of the first limo stepped five scantily
clad women. Then out of the second limo
stepped two more women, followed by Midajah and then the NGW World Champion,
'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner. Steiner
headed into the building with his women proclaiming, "We are
gonna have a party tonight!" Match #4: Raven v. Sabu.
"Come Out And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as
one-half of the NGW World Tag Team Champions, Raven headed out to the
ring. Then, "Little Crazy" by
Fight blared over the speakers as Bill Alfonso led 'The Human Highlight Reel'
Sabu out to the ring. We saw Raven at
the top of the program where he attempted to mentally break down Randy Orton
and get him to join The Flock but Orton refused and The Flock left Orton a
bloody mess. Raven and Kane will defend
the World Tag Team Titles against Sabu and Devon Storm this Sunday at
SuperClash. The ending would see Raven
go for a short arm clothesline but Sabu ducked and hit a fisherman buster for
two. Sabu got a chair from Fonzie and went
for the Triple Jump Moonsault but Raven countered it with a drop toehold sending
Sabu's face down into the chair. Raven
covered Sabu for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Sabu kicked out! We were quickly sent backstage to see Devon
Storm standing over a downed Kane with a chair in hand. Storm was then jumped by Scott Vick and Chris
Kanyon as NGW officials tried to break it all up. Meanwhile in the ring, Raven picked up the
chair but Fonzie came in and grabbed it away.
The referee tried to force Fonzie out of the ring. All of a sudden Randy Orton came out of the
crowd, his forehead bandaged up. Orton
to the top ... Raven turns around and High Crossbody! Orton quickly gets out of the ring before the
referee can see. Sabu takes the chair
and Triple Jump Moonsault! Sabu covers
Raven for the one ... two ... THREE!
Sabu scores a big win over Raven and Randy Orton gets a measure of
revenge for earlier in the night! WINNER: Sabu in 6:02. Rating: ** [backstage] The Coach was
standing by with Jeff Jarrett, Vampiro and the NGW Commissioner, Shawn
Michaels... MICHAELS:
"With all the crap that's been going on around here, maybe you
forgot that I'm the Commissioner and I make the matches around here. Jeff Jarrett, you sure like to use that
guitar and Vampiro, you wanna give it right back to ol' slappy over here. So this Sunday at SuperClash, the two of you
are gonna go at it in a Guitar On A Pole match!" JARRETT:
"Fine, slapnuts, cause the Chosen One is gonna take this freak to
school." VAMPIRO:
"Keep running your mouth, Jarrett, just show up this Sunday and try
and back up those words." Match #5: Jeff Jarrett & Eddy Guerrero v. Taz &
Vampiro. "Cowboy" by Kid Rock
blared over the speakers as 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to the
ring first. "Siempre
Peligroso" by Cypress Hill sounded over the speakers as Eddy Guerrero made
his way out. Then, "Kong At The
Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel'
Vampiro walked down to the ring. "WAR
MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight
Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz made his way out. Taz defends the U.S. Heavyweight Title
against Eddy Guerrero this Sunday at SuperClash. Jeff Jarrett and Vampiro will settle their score
in a Guitar On A Pole match. The ending
of this tag team match would see Jarrett hammering on Taz in the corner with
rights. Taz grabbed Jarrett and walked
out with him but Jarrett dropped down and raked the eyes of Taz. Jarrett headed up top and came off with a
flying axehandle but Taz caught Jarrett and dumped him with a Head & Arm
Tazplex. Taz made the tag out to
Vampiro. Vampiro planted Jarrett with an
uranage for the one ... two ... THR ... Guerrero breaks up the pin! Taz came in after Guerrero and the two
brawled to the outside. Taz treid to
send Guerrero into the ringpost but Guerrero reversed it. Guerrero then slid the guitar in to
Jarrett. Jarrett picked it up and went
to swing but the referee grabbed it away.
Jarrett yelled at the referee then turned around, Vampiro scoops up
Jarrett and Vampiro Spike! Vampiro makes
the cover for the one ... two ... Taz ties up Jarrett ... THREE! Vampiro pulls out a big pinfall over The
Chosen One heading into SuperClash. WINNERS: Taz and Vampiro in 7:05. Rating: ** [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Kevin Nash walking through the back looking very angry and then we saw Rob
Van Dam exit his dressing room with his usual cocky smirk present. Big Sexy versus The Whole F'N Show is NEXT! Main Event: Kevin Nash v. Rob Van Dam. 'Wolfpac Theme' sounded over the speakers as
'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash walked out to the ring for our Main Event. Nash is heading into a big time grudge match
against Booker T at SuperClash. Then,
"Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as 'The Whole F'N Show'
Rob Van Dam headed out to the ring. RVD

meeting between Kevin Nash and Rob Van Dam.
Nash and RVD locked up with Nash throwing RVD into the corner then
connecting with forearms, elbows and knees.

laughed and taunted the crowd for making fun of his nose cast. Van Dam springs up to his feet. Jericho turns around and spin kick! No!
Jericho just ducks and bails out to the floor! Jericho backed off before Van Dam could do
anymore damage! Rob Van Dam will get a
piece of Y2J in six days at SuperClash! [backstage] We cut to a shot
of Scott Steiner and his girls leaving his locker room. It must be party
time. We headed to our final break... ["I Need A Freak" by Too $hort] We returned as
Midajah led the seven other scantily clad women out of the entrance. Midajah held the World Championship over her
head. Then, the World Champion, 'Big
Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner emerged from the entrance. Steiner headed into the ring with all his
women. Steiner flexed for a bit then
took the microphone... STEINER:
"I've always talked about what its like to be Big Poppa Pump and
party like the World Champion and now all of you trailer park trash can see how
the big bad booty daddy gets his freak on.
There has only been one World Champion in the history of NGW and you're
looking at him! I've got the largest
arms in the world and ain't nobody in this company or in the world can beat
me! Normally when you're this good, when
you're this great, it might get lonely on the top but I've got all my freaks to
keep me warm at night. Now a lot of
people think that this Sunday will be Stone Cold Steve Austin's time. That he'll finally beat Big Poppa Pump but
I'm here tonight to prove to you that he doesn't have a chance. So what I've done is make a video showcasing
the past eight months that Big Poppa Pump has been the one and only World
Champion. Roll it..." We went to a
video package showing clips of most of Scott Steiner's wins over the past eight
months highlighted by his Pay-Per-View title defenses. It started with Stone Cold Steve Austin at
Initial Assault. Rob Van Dam at March
Madness. Steve Austin and Rob Van Dam at
Lord Of The Ring. Stone Cold at
Animosity. Taz, Eddy Guerrero and
Vampiro at Hostile City Showdown then it jumped past what happened at Summertime
Showdown to Steiner retaining over Kevin Nash the next night on Ring Wars... STEINER:
"Anybody who is anybody has gotten a shot at the largest arms in
the world but they've all gone down for the count. They've all gone down at the hands of the
greatest athlete on the planet. They've
all gone down to Scott Steiner! Stone
Cold Steve Austin, you're just another piece of trailer park trash that I've
beaten before but this Sunday, I'm gonna snap that neck right off your
shoulders and Austin 3:16 will be dead and buried! Now hit my music and let's party!" ["Glass Shatters" by Disturbed] It wasn't
Steiner's music that sounded, it was the glass shattering. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin drove through the
entrance in a big Miller Lite beer truck!
Austin drove down the aisle to the roar of the crowd. Austin put the truck in park, went around to
the side and grabbed the hose. Austin
proceeded to hose down Steiner and all the women with beer! Steiner was livid as Austin sprayed him down! Austin had a microphone.. AUSTIN:
"Scott Steiner, the time for talking is over cause this Sunday at
SuperClash, THE S***'S ON! and that's the bottom line ... 'CAUSE STONE COLD
SAID SO!" Austin grabbed
the hose and knocked down Steiner again with big blast of beer. Austin charged into the ring and took down
Steiner with a flurry of punches!
Steiner was blinded with beer in his eyes and Austin drilled him with a
Stunner! Austin grabbed the World
Championship belt and headed out of the ring.
Austin grabbed a case of beer and climbed on top of the truck. Austin cracked a few cold ones open and
toasted the World Championship, flipping off Steiner as the show came to a
close! ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW RAGE taping results for Saturday, August 17th, 2002: Simon Diamond and Swinger defeated The Jung Dragons when
