"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, Randy Orton, The Dudley Boyz,
Taz, Brock Lesnar, Eddy Guerrero, Vampiro, Raven, Jeff Jarrett, Kevin Nash,
Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, 'Big Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner and more. This is New Generation Wrestling and this is
RING WARS... We entered the
arena as Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcoming everyone to the show. Tonight; Booker T and Vampiro will team up to
take on the Wolfpac's Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett. Also, 'Y2J' Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar
will team up to face the NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam
and a partner of his choice... ["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust] 'Y2J' Chris
Jericho headed out of the entrance and soon Brock Lesnar followed behind. Jericho and Lesnar made their way into the
ring where Jericho took a microphone... JERICHO:
"WELCOME .. to my world!
Where Chris Jericho is king of the world! There few things in my world that are the
same as in all of you jackasses' mundane, nine-to-five, boring world. The main thing that's the same is that
September 15th at NGW Revenge on pay-per-view, Chris Jericho will not only be
better than all of you but I will be better then Rob Van Dam and I will be the
champion of the worrrrrrrrrrrrld! The
World Championship is coming to Y2J and there ain't a damn thing Rob Van Dam
can do about it! All of you idiots with
your RVD chants do nothing but motivate Chris Jericho even more to show all of
you that Rob Van Dam is not in Chris Jericho's league! Now Brock Lesnar and I are out here to find
out just who the hell Rob Van Dam managed to dig up to be his tag team
partner. I mean who in their right mind
would get into the ring with Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho? I'm sure RVD is back there begging Shawn
Michaels to call off the match but that's..." ["WAR MACHINE"] The NGW United
States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out onto the
stage... TAZ: "I ain't
talked to Rob Van Dam but all five foot nine of the Human Suplex Machine is
steppin' up to the plate. So by your
book, Jericho, that must make me stupid or crazy. I ain't too bright but I didn't get into
wrestling by writing SAT's! I got into
wrestling to beat somebody's ass, choke 'em out, dump 'em on their head and
walk over them so they know they just punked out by the one man crime spree
known as Taz!" JERICHO: "Hey
Taz! You might be a tough guy, you may
have made some kind of name for yourself but come on! You can't seriously think you're gonna throw
Brock Lesnar around the ring?! You can't
think that you're gonna punk this man out?!" TAZ: "You'd
be surprised what these hands can do.
These hands are weapons, my weapon of choice. Brock Lesnar, you're just anotha in a long
line of pumped up monkeys that's gonna get brought down to size cause you may
be huge, you may be tough, you may be everything but you're human and every
human can get CHOKED OUT! I am Taz. BEAT ME IF YOU CAN ... SURVIVE IF I LET
YOU!" Taz will be Rob
Van Dam's tag team partner tonight against Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar. What a huge main event tag team match! Opening Match: Kane v. Faarooq. "Slow Chemical" by Finger Eleven
blared over the speakers as 'The Big Red Machine' Kane, one half of the World
Tag Team Champions, walked out to the ring.
Then, "El Cu Cuy" by Coal Chamber blasted over the speakers as
Faarooq made his way out to the ring.
Faarooq threw out this challenge to Kane after The Acolytes went down to
Raven and Kane on RAGE. This was all out
power from both men. The ending would
see Faarooq go for a Dominator but Kane countered it with a backdrop. Kane headed up top and came off with a flying
clothesline for two. Kane sent Faarooq
into the ropes but Faarooq came off with a shoulderblock! Faarooq then sent Kane into the ropes for the
Spinebuster but Kane grabbed Faarooq by the throat and went for the Choke
Slam. Faarooq fought it off and hit a
belly to belly suplex for two. Faarooq
now headed up top but Kane bounced into the ropes, crotching Faarooq. Kane picked up Faarooq off the second rope,
walked to the middle of the ring and Tombstone!
Kane covers for the one ... two ... THREE! Kane was just too much for Faarooq to handle. WINNER: Kane in 4:09. Rating: 1/2* After the match,
Buh Buh Ray Dudley slid into the ring out of nowhere and drilled Kane in the
back with a chair. D-Von pulled a table
from under the ring and slid it into the ring.
D-Von setup the table while Buh Buh worked over Kane. D-Von sends Kane into the ropes and 3D
through the table! Raven, Kanyon and
Scott Vick ran out from the back but it was too late as The Dudley Boyz had
done their damage to Kane! [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from 'Dangerous' Devon Storm... STORM: "Last
week, I lost a lot. Not only did I lose
a match for the World Tag Team Titles. I
lost my partner Sabu to injury. I lost
to a close match to Vampiro but most importantly, I lost my direction. Where does Dangerous Devon Storm go from
here?" A voice was
heard, "DEEEEEEEEEEEEVVOOOOOON! AHHHHHHH!" STORM: "D ..
d .. Daffney?" DAFFNEY:
"What's up Devon? Long time
no see! Did you miss me?" STORM: "Yeah
of course but what're you doing here?" DAFFNEY: "I
came to see you silly. But I hear you're
lacking direction. You have a match with
Taka Michinoku tonight, start there and go after the World Cruiserweight
Title!" STORM: "World
Cruiserweight Champion Devon Storm ... That sounds good ... That sounds
right! That sounds like a
direction!" Devon Storm's
eyes were buldging wide as he envisioned being the World Cruiserweight Champion
while Daffney looked pleased. Match #2: Taka Michinoku v. Devon Storm. "Touch Of
Evil" by AC/DC blared over the speakers as Taka Michinoku headed out to
the ring for our next match. Then,
"Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails blasted over the speakers as
'Dangerous' Devon Storm made his way out along with Daffney. Devon Storm has his direction and that's
making the climb to the World Cruiserweight Title. However, Taka Michinoku doesn't care about
Storm's vision and wants to move up in the Cruiserweight Division himself. Storm seemed like a new wrestler facing
someone around his size after putting his body on the line against big men like
Kane for the past few months. The ending
would see Storm go for a brain buster but Taka floated over. Taka tried a Michinoku Driver IIb but Storm
elbowed him off. Storm went for a german
suplex but Taka landed on his feet. Taka
dropkicked Storm in the knees then in the face for two. Taka headed to the top and came off with a
cross body but Storm caught him with a dropkick. Storm went up and came off with a big splash
but Taka rolled out of the way. Taka
scooped up Storm for the Michinoku Driver but Storm floated over and hit the
Mind Bender for the one ... two ... THREE!
Devon Storm takes a big first step in his new direction with a solid win
over Taka Michinoku. WINNER: Devon Storm in 8:08. Rating: *** [backstage] The Coach tried
to get some comments from Konnan about his involvement last week, debuting and
joining the Wolfpac but Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett walked up and took over... NASH: "Konnan
is what the Wolfpac is all about. He
embodies the attitude of the Wolfpac.
Yeah, we like to party, like to have some fun but if you get in our
way? If you cross the pac? Then we'll take you out and pick your bones
dry." KONNAN:
"Randy Orton, it's me and you tonight, strawberry. No, no, not that kind of strawberry. Randy Orton is a strawberry cause he's fresh
and ripe for the picking. Orton, it's
time for your wake up call tonight courtesy of the K - Diggity Dawg! We're gonna get bout it bout it and rowdy and
rowdy ... ahhhhh yeeeah, that's enough!" Match #3: Konnan v. Randy Orton. "Don't Turn Your Back" sounded over
the speakers as 'K-Dawg' Konnan headed out to the ring for his NGW debut
match. Konnan made his surprising debut
last week helping Jeff Jarrett defeat Booker T and joining up with his old
buddy Kevin Nash in the Wolfpac. Then,
"Here To Stay" by KoRn blasted over the speakers as Randy Orton made
his way out to the ring. Orton's been
embroiled in a feud with The Flock ever since his debut and scored a measure of
revenge last week beating Scott Vick.
Konnan took Orton lightly in the opening moments but quickly realized
what everyone else in NGW has realized that Randy Orton is the real deal. The ending would see Konnan tie up Orton in a
ziplock but Orton just wouldn't submit.
Konnan sent Orton into the ropes and went for a rolling clothesline but
Orton ducked and caught Konnan with a DDT for the one ... two ... THR ...
NO! Konnan kicked out! Orton went for a swinging neckbreaker but
Konnan spun out and caught Orton with a faceslam! Konnan picked up Orton and went for a Power
Drop but Orton slipped down the back and inside cradled Konnan for the one ...
two ... THR ... NO! Konnan just kicked
out! Orton connected with a couple
uppercuts, staggering Konnan then headed up top for the High Cross Body but
Konnan shoved the ref into the ropes.
Orton got crotched and fell down to the canvas. Konnan picked up Orton and spiked him with
the Cradle DDT for the one ... two ... THREE!
Konnan gets off to a winning start over Randy Orton. WINNER: Konnan in 5:33. Rating: * 1/4 [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from The Dudley Boyz about their attack on Kane and their
upcoming match with Chris Kanyon and Scott Vick... D-VON: "The
Dudley Boyz have stayed quiet for too long.
Raven! Kane! Those World Tag Team Titles belong to
us. It is now time for Buh Buh Ray and
D-Von to take back what never should have been taken from us in the first
place." BUH BUH:
"Raven and Kane, if we've gotta put you through tables, we'll put
you through tables. If we've gotta go
through The Flock, we'll go through the Flock.
We'll do whatever we have to do to show you that The Dudley Boyz are the
greatest tag team in wrestling. And we
will show that when you commit the sin of messing with The Dudley Boyz, you
will pay for that sin and you will pay in pain!" D-VON:
"Testify, my brother, TESTIFY!" Match #4: Chris Kanyon & Scott Vick v. The Dudley
Boyz. "Immune" by Godsmack
blared over the speakers as The Flock's Chris Kanyon and 'Sick' Scott Vick made
their way out to the ring. Then,
"Turn The Tables" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as The Dudley
Boyz headed out to the ring. Buh Buh Ray
Dudley and D-Von Dudley made a statement earlier tonight by putting Kane
through a table. The Dudley Boyz had
taken a backseat in the tag team division since dropping the belts to Raven and
Kane but they've put themselves in the forefront again. The ending of this match would see Kanyon and
Vick beat down D-Von in their corner.
Kanyon hammered on D-Von but D-Von stepped out and dropped Kanyon face
first on the top turnbuckle. D-Von
crawled over to make the tag but Kanyon cut him off. Kanyon sent D-Von into the ropes but D-Von
came off with a spinning elbowsmash.
D-Von made the tag to Buh Buh.
Buh Buh went for the Buh Buh Bomb but Kanyon elbowed him off and made
the tag to Scott Vick. Vick came in with
a springboard lariat! Vick then picked
up Buh Buh and planted him with the Cure!
Vick covers for the one ... two ... D-Von breaks it up! Kanyon started to come in but D-Von knocked
him out of the ring. Vick hammered on
D-Von but D-Von sent Vick into the ropes and 3D! Buh Buh makes the cover for the one ... two
... THREE! The Dudley Boyz take the win. WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz in 5:46. Rating: * After the match,
Raven snuck into the ring and caught Buh Buh Ray Dudley with a short arm
lariat. Raven then went for the Evenflow
DDT on D-Von Dudley but Buh Buh grabbed Raven from behind and planted him with
the Buh Buh Bomb! Buh Buh shoved D-Von,
'D-VON ... GET THE TABLE!' D-Von brought
the table in. Kanyon came back in but
Buh Buh caught him with a facebuster.
D-Von setup the table and Buh Buh went up top. D-Von fed Raven to Buh Buh and SUPER BOMB
through the table! Kane walked out and
The Dudley Boyz challenged him to get in the ring but Kane just picked up Raven
and carried him to the back... [backstage] The Coach got
some comments from Booker T... BOOKER T:
"The Wolfpac may think they're gonna run things around here, they
may think that people are gonna back down from them but Booker T ain't backin'
down from those punk ass suckas. Booker
T is steppin up in their face until the Wolfpac is just a bunch of dead
dogs. Speakin' of steppin up, Vampiro is
steppin up to help take these suckas down tonight. Booker T and Vampiro .. oh it's gonna be on
like a neckbone, now can you dig that?
SUCKA!" Match #5: Booker T & Vampiro v. Kevin Nash & Jeff
Jarrett. "Can You Dig It?
SUCKA!" sounded over the speakers as Booker T made his way out to the
ring. "Kong At The Gates" by
The Misfits blared over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro headed out to
the ring. Then, "Don't Turn Your
Back" sounded over the speakers as the Wolfpac's 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash and
'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett made their way out to the ring. Vampiro tried to help even the odds last week
and prevent Kevin Nash from interfering but Konnan came out of the crowd,
jumping Booker T and allowed Jeff Jarrett to get the win. Nash and Jarrett teamed up well with
Jarrett's technical wrestling and Nash's power.
The ending would see Booker go for an axe kick on Jarrett but Jarrett
side stepped it and hit a DDT on Booker for two. Jarrett picked up Booker and went for the
Piledriver but Booker picked up Jarrett and hit a 110th Street Slam! Booker crawled over and made the tag to
Vampiro. Jarrett also tagged in Kevin
Nash. Nash went for a forearm but
Vampiro ducked it and nailed Nash with some kicks to the legs. Vampiro bounced off the ropes but Nash caught
him in a sidewalk slam but Booker broke up the count. Jarrett came in but got backdropped out of
the ring. Booker then caught Nash with
the Neckwrecker! The referee forced
Booker out of the ring. Konnan slid into
the ring with a chair but Vampiro kicked him and pulled the chair away. Booker came back in and went at Konnan but
Vampiro swung at Konnan with the chair but hit Booker T by mistake! Nash drilled Vampiro with a big boot then
pulled him in and Jacknife Power Bomb on the chair! Nash covers Vampiro for the one ... two ...
THREE! The Wolfpac steals yet another
win. WINNERS: Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett in 7:40. Rating: ** 1/2 We then went to a
video promo showing a man being digitally scanned in a futuristic manner. The
Prototype of the ultimate athlete. It
was said that all men were created equal but then there's John Cena. If humans had a choice to choose one man to
mold all men after, it would be John Cena.
He is the blueprint of greatness.
He is 'THE PROTOTYPE' JOHN CENA ... And he's on his way to NGW! Match #6: Psicosis v. Essa Rios. "Loco" by Coal Chamber blasted over
the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis made his way out to the
ring. Then, "Papi Chulo" by
Funkdoobiest blared over the speakers as Essa Rios headed out to the ring. Psicosis and Essa Rios had a real good match
last week where Essa Rios pulled out the win over Psicosis. Psicosis demanded a rematch to redeem himself
and Essa Rios obliged. The ending would
see Rios go for a springboard armdrag but Psicosis dropkicked Rios sending him
to the floor. Psicosis then hit a
ropeflip moonsault to the outside!
Psicosis rolled in and hit a slingshot legdrop for two. Psicosis went for a power bomb but Rios
countered it with a frankensteiner. Rios
caught Psicosis in a rolling front slam.
Rios went up for the Moonsault but Psicosis rolled out of the way! Psicosis hit a falcon arrow for the one ...
two ... THR ... NO! Psicosis sent Rios
into the ropes and went for a backdrop but Rios armdragged Psicosis sending him
out of the ring. Rios came out with a
corkscrew plancha but Psicosis dodged it!
Psicosis slid back into the ring and distracted the referee. Someone came out of the crowd ... That's ...
Super Crazzy! Crazzy grabbed Rios and
sprung off the apron with a swinging DDT on the floor! Crazzy threw Rios back into the ring. Psicosis to the top and Guillotine
Legdrop! Psicosis covers for the one ...
two ... THREE! Psicosis picks up the win
thanks to Super Crazzy! WINNER: Psicosis in 9:16. Rating: ** Afterwards,
Psicosis and Super Crazzy left to the back together. Super Crazzy has jumped ship to New
Generation Wrestling! [backstage] We cut to a shot
of the NGW World Champion, Rob Van Dam walking out of his dressing room. The Main Event is next... Main Event: Rob Van Dam & Taz v. Chris Jericho &
Brock Lesnar. "Walk" by Pantera

Van Dam headed out to the ring.
"WAR MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United
States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the
ring. Then, "Break The Walls
Down" by Sevendust blasted over the speakers as 'Y2J' Chris Jericho and
Brock Lesnar made their way out to the ring.
Last week, Rob Van Dam granted Chris Jericho a shot at the NGW World
Championship at Revenge due to the contreversial finish of their match at
SuperClash. The one stipulation is that
if Chris Jericho loses he has to shake Rob Van Dam's hand. Brock Lesnar jumped RVD and laid him out. Van Dam issued a challenge to Jericho and
Lesnar, Jericho responded by wanting a tag team match. At the top of the show tonight, Taz stepped
up to the plate and inserted himself into this match. Jericho wrestled most of the match for his
team as RVD and Taz tried to keep Jericho in the ring. When Lesnar got in there, it was pure destruction. The closing moments of the match would see
RVD go for a kick but Jericho caught the leg.
Van Dam stepped over with a spinning mule kick but Jericho ducked. Jericho drilled RVD with a jumping side kick
for two. Jericho went for the Walls Of
Jericho but Van Dam rolled him up for two.
Both men got up, Van Dam ducked a lariat then drilled Jericho with a
spinning heel kick! Van Dam headed to
the top and FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH! Van
Dam covers for the one ... two ... THR ... Lesnar breaks the pin! Lesnar sent Van Dam into the ropes and caught

Splash but Lesnar stands in the way. Van
Dam dives off but Lesnar catches him, powers RVD up and TERMINATOR! Van Dam is out! Jericho locked Van Dam in the Walls Of

twice, three times! Van Dam is out! Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar take the win
and Chris Jericho gets the fall over Rob Van Dam! WINNERS: Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar in 13:39. Rating: ** 3/4 After the match,
Taz came back at Lesnar with some rights but Jericho caught Taz with a bulldog
then hit the Lionsault! Chris Jericho
