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

 

  "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 with Joey Styles and Paul Heyman hyping up tonight's show as Raven & Kane & Chris Kanyon team up against Randy Orton and The Dudley Boyz.  We will have a Three Way Dance to decide who challenges Taz for the U.S. Heavyweight Title at Revenge with the Wolfpac's Konnan versus 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro versus Brock Lesnar!  That and much more tonight on Ring Wars...

 

["Walk" by Pantera]

 

  The NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam made his way out to the ring to kick things off.  Van Dam took a microphone...

 

VAN DAM:  "Chris Jericho likes to come out here and call all you people idiots.  Now I don't know all of you, I've never talked to you but if you're chanting R-V-D! R-V-D!  Then you can't be idiots.  Chris Jericho is just jealous because he's not everybody's favorite wrestler.  Chris Jericho is jealous because he's not ... ROB VAN DAM!  Chris Jericho, you and Brock Lesnar can do whatever you want to me but when it comes down to it at Revenge, Jericho, you're gonna be bowing down and showing your respect for the Whole F'N Show!  Chris Jericho, when I look at you I see a massive ego.  An ego just like Scott Steiner had but what I wanna know is that when I beat you at Revenge, are you gonna make like Big Poppa Pump and go home?"

 

["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust]

 

  'Y2J' Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar walked out of the entrance with a microphone...

 

JERICHO:  "The man that is LARGER THAN LIFE, the man that is an icon in the making, and the undisputed king of kicking Rob Van Dam's ass ... The man ... The myth ... The LIVING LEGEND ... Chris Jericho has arrived!  First off, RVD, I'm surprised to see you out here after the Y2J beating you received last week.  I had you locked in the Walls Of Jericho and I sucked the life right outta you and right outta all of these jackasses!  Now Van Dam, you're taking credit for Scott Steiner not being around?  Maybe he is embarrased about losing to everybody's favorite jackass but at Revenge, I won't suffer the same fate.  Chris Jericho will put you in the Walls Of Jericho one more time but this time, I will be the WORLD CHAMPION!"

 

VAN DAM:  "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and come get a piece of R-V-D?"

 

  Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar started walking towards the ring.  Lesnar jumped up on the apron but Van Dam caught him with a spin kick.  Jericho slid and jumped on Van Dam.  Lesnar came in and the two double teamed on Van Dam until TAZ ran down into the ring with a chair.  Taz swung at Jericho but Jericho dodged it and slid out of the ring.  Taz nailed Lesnar in the back.  Lesnar shook it off but Jericho pulled Lesnar out of the ring.  Taz picked up the microphone...

 

TAZ:  "Brock Lesnar, I hope you win your numba one contenders match tonight so you can get the beating you deserve.  Hey Chris Jericho, you ain't got a match tonight.  Van Dam, you've got Jericho at the Pay-Per-View so why don't you do the one man crime spree a favor and let me get my hands on Y2J tonight?"

 

  Rob Van Dam told Taz to go ahead and take on Jericho tonight.

 

TAZ:  "Good then Chris Jericho, brotha, I just I got a few words for you ... BEAT ME IF YOU CAN ... SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!"

 

  Chris Jericho versus Taz tonight...

 

Opening Match: Kaz Hayashi v. Devon Storm.  "I Don't Mind" by Drain STH blared over the speakers as Kaz Hayashi headed out to the ring for our opening match of the evening.  Then, "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails blasted over the speakers as 'Dangerous' Devon Storm made his way out to the ring with Daffney.  Devon Storm is attempting to continue in his mission to be the World Cruiserweight Champion.  Storm was getting more adjusted to wrestling the cruiserweight style and looking good in the process.  The ending of this match would see Storm send Hayashi into the corner and come in with a rolling koppo kick but Hayashi jumped out to the apron.  Hayashi came in with a slingshot DDT on Storm for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Hayashi headed up top for the Senton Bomb but Storm crotched him.  Storm went up and went for a top-rope frankensteiner but Hayashi held onto the top!  Hayashi came off with the Senton Bomb but Storm rolled out of the way.  Storm picked up Hayashi and planted him with the Mind Bender for the one ... two ... THREE!  'Dangerous' Devon Storm gains another victory over a top cruiserweight.

 

WINNER: Devon Storm in 8:10.

Rating: *** 1/4

  Raven and The Flock was shown in a dark area of the arena...

 

RAVEN:  "Buh Buh Ray Dudley.  D-Von Dudley.  I thought we were done with you.  I thought we had sent you back to wherever the hell Dudleyville is with your tails between your legs.  But I should know that a thought is often a dream and is never reality.  The reality was you jumped Kane and put him through a table.  You jumped me and put me through a table.  Now begs the question ... what should I do about it?"

 

KANE:  "Raven ... Raven ... Double Tables.  They like tables, we'll give them tables.  They want a shot at the titles, we'll give a shot but it will be their last."

 

RAVEN:  "So it was written, so it shall come to pass.  The Dudley Boyz will be the ones going through tables.  Quote the Raven, NEVERMORE!"

 

Match #2: Raven & Kane & Chris Kanyon v. Randy Orton & The Dudley Boyz.  "Come Out And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as the NGW World Tag Team Champions, Raven and Kane along with Chris Kanyon headed out to the ring for six man tag team action.  Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva blasted over the speakers as The Dudley Boyz and their tag team partner Randy Orton made their way out to the ring.  We just found out that Raven and Kane will put the World Tag Team Titles on the line against The Dudley Boyz in a Double Tables match at Revenge.  The ending would see Kanyon go for a swinging fisherman suplex on Orton but Orton blocked it and hit a suplex.  Orton then headed up top for the High Cross Body but Raven came over and shoved Orton off the top to the outside.  D-Von exploded over and knocked Raven off the apron and into the guardrail.  Kane grabbed D-Von by the throat and planted him with a Choke Slam!  Buh Buh ran at Kane and both men went over the top with a clothesline.  Kanyon staggered to his feet in the ring.  Orton got up on the apron.  Kanyon grabbed Orton to suplex him in but Orton blocked it then came in with a sunset flip on Kanyon for the one ... two ... THREE!  Orton got him!  Orton got another pin on Kanyon! 

 

WINNERS: The Dudley Boyz and Randy Orton in 6:13.

Rating: 1/2*

 

  Afterwards, Kanyon went to nail Orton with a lariat but Orton ducked and caught Kanyon with a clothesline.  Raven came in and grabbed Orton for the Evenflow DDT but D-Von Dudley pulled Orton out of the ring.  Kanyon was half angry and half begging for forgiveness from Raven...

 

  We then went to a video promo showcasing just one of the many qualities of 'The Prototype' John Cena.  We looked at the speed of John Cena as he ran a 40 yard dash in under 4 seconds.  We saw Cena working out in a ring, running the ropes and looking to amazing speed and agility for a man his size.  The blueprint of greatness.  He is 'THE PROTOTYPE' JOHN CENA ... And he's on his way to NGW!

 

Match #3: 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 the charismatic La Parka made his way out to the ring.  Last week, Psicosis got a win over La Parka's friend/tag team partner Essa Rios after Super Crazzy made a surprise appearance to help out Psicosis.  La Parka was out to avenge Rios' loss tonight.  La Parka only had brief flashes of his showmanship as he seemed very focused on getting revenge on Psicosis.  The ending would see La Parka send Psicosis into the ropes and Parka caught Psicosis in a powerslam for two.  Parka picked up Psicosis and sent him into the ropes, Psicosis ducked a clothesline then drilled Parka with a spinning leg lariat.  Psicosis headed up top but Parka cut him off and hit a belly-to-belly superplex.  Parka hit a senton and hooked the leg for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Super Crazzy ran out and jumped up on the apron.  Parka drilled Crazzy with a forearm knocking him off the apron.  Parka turned around and Psicosis planted him with a falcon arrow for the one ... two ... THREE!

 

WINNER: Psicosis in 8:02.

Rating: ** 3/4

 

  After the match, Psicosis and Super Crazzy celebrated then La Parka nailed Crazzy from behind.  Parka started hammering on Crazzy until Psicosis kicked him in the back.  Psicosis and Crazzy started double teaming on Parka.  Essa Rios ran out and came in with a springboard leg lariat on Psicosis!  Crazzy drilled Rios with a chop and sent him into the ropes.  Crazzy went for a spinning backbreaker but Rios countered it with an armdarg sending Crazzy out of the ring.  La Parka then grabbed Rios and sent him into the ropes.  Parka backdroped Rios high in the air over the top and Rios came down with a plancha on Psicosis and Super Crazzy!

 

["Can You Dig It? SUCKA!"]

 

  Booker T made his way out of the entrance and down to the ring.  Booker T has had a rough time in NGW ever since his first night when he stopped Kevin Nash from Jacknifing Shawn Michaels.  Booker took a microphone...

 

BOOKER T:  "WHAT'S UP?!  MAKE SOME NOISE!  Are you people ready to see a fight tonight or what?  Do you wanna see those punk ass suckas the Wolfpac get smacked, jacked and pimp slapped by Booker T?  Well Booker T is ready and willing to lay a hurtin' down on those suckas.  Nash, Jarrett, Konnan, each time you suckas pull the type of crap you've been pulling all you do is get me more fired up.  The more you push Booker T around, the more you attack me from behind, the more you act like cheap ass suckas, the more pissed off I get.  When you piss Booker T off, dog, you ain't never gonna get me outta your face!  So Wolfpac, why don't you say we do it one more time here tonight?"

 

["Don't Turn Your Back"]

 

  The Wolfpac's 'Big Sexy' Kevin Nash and 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett walked out of the entrance.  Nash had a microphone...

 

NASH:  "Booker T, you're about as stupid as you look.  How many weeks in a row do we have to leave you for dead?  When are you gonna realize that you can't beat the Wolfpac?"

 

BOOKER T:  "Incase you've got a problem seeing, Booker T is looking fine here tonight.  How about you try and leave me for dead one more time tonight?"

 

JARRETT:  "Hold up, slapnuts.  You know, Big Sexy, as much as you want to beat Booker T's ass again and I know you do, that just isn't gonna happen tonight.  Booker T, we've proven our point.  We've proven you're nothing compared to the Wolfpac and we're not gonna waste our time with you anymore.  Let's go, Nash..."

 

BOOKER T:  "Hold on just a damn minute.  You ain't done with Booker T, not yet, not while I'm still breathin'.  How about I find myself a partner and face you two suckas and if you win, you never have to deal with Booker T again?  Can you dig that?  SUCKA!"

 

  Nash and Jarrett consult...

 

NASH:  "Yeah, we can dig that but it won't be tonight.  It'll be in a thirteen days at the Pay-Per-View.  Me and Jarrett against you and whoever the hell you can drag up.  One last time, you're going down to the Wolfpac, sucka!"

 

  Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett team up against Booker T and a partner at Revenge.  If the Wolfpac wins, they never have to deal with Booker T again.

 

Match #4: Konnan v. Vampiro v. Brock Lesnar - Three Way Dance.  "Don't Turn Your Back" blared over the speakers as the Wolfpac's Konnan headed out to the ring.  "Kong At The Gates" by The Misfits sounded over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel' Vampiro made his way out.  The referee struggled to keep Konnan and Vampiro seperated.  Then, "Head Up" by Deftones blasted over the speakers as Brock Lesnar headed out to the ring.  Lesnar got into the ring and grabbed Vampiro and threw him into the corner.  Lesnar drove his shoulder into Vampiro repeatedly and Vampiro crumpled to the mat.  Konnan looked on in excitement and went to high five Lesnar but Lesnar grabbed Konnan and threw him with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex!  The winner of this match will go to Revenge to challenge for the U.S. Heavyweight Title.  The closing moments of the match would see Konnan go for a rolling clothesline on Lesnar but Lesnar just shrugged it off.  Vampiro drilled Lesnar from behind, taking him down.  Vampiro stomped away on Lesnar then caught him with a superkick sending Lesnar through the ropes to the outside.  Konnan had obviously had enough of this and pulled a crowbar out of his pant leg!  Konnan then drilled Vampiro in the skull with the crowbar for the blatant DQ! (5:01)  Konnan drove the crowbar into Vampiro's midsection then spat on him and left.  Brock Lesnar came back into the ring, picked up Vampiro and hit the F5 for the one ... two ... THREE!  Brock Lesnar will challenge for the NGW United States Heavyweight Title at Revenge.

 

WINNER: Brock Lesnar in 5:29

Rating: * 3/4

  Vampiro was shown steaming backstage when he found Commissioner Shawn Michaels in the hall..

 

VAMPIRO:  "I want Konnan and I want him right now!"

 

MICHAELS:  "I'll do you one better.  I'll give you a chance to cool off and you can have Konnan at Revenge.  How about that?"

 

VAMPIRO:  "I'll take it."

 

  Vampiro stormed off while Michaels continued on into his office.  When Michaels entered his office, Goldust was inside sitting in his chair...

 

MICHAELS:  "What're you doing here?  Last thing I remember was that you lost your spot in this company."

 

GOLDUST:  "All I want is chance, come on Shawn, gimme a chance, gimme a chance to be star again!"

 

MICHAELS:  "And why should I let you come back?"

 

GOLDUST:  "Because I am the icon that can still go! I am the showstopper!  I am the main event!  I am the man that makes all the girls go wild.  I am the man that revolutionized this industry and I will lay down for nobody!  I am ffffffffff Goldust!"

 

MICHAELS:  "That sounds familiar ... My answer is something that you've probably heard a lot from whatever kind of tail you chase ... no and get out!"

 

GOLDUST:  "I will remember this and you will remember the name..."

 

MICHAELS:  "OUT!"

 

  Michaels steps towards Goldust and Goldust sulks and walks out...

 

Match #5: Juventud Guerrera v. Rey Misterio Jr. - Non-Title.  "Size 'Em Up" by Big L blared over the speakers as 'The Juice' Juventud Guerrera headed out to the ring.  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.  Juvy and Rey have had great battles over the past couple months with Rey coming out on top in the majority of them so Juvy was looking to get one over Rey here even if it was non-title.  The ending would see Rey go for the Springboard Hurricanrana but Juvy caught him and turned it into a Running Power Bomb for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Rey got the shoulder up!  Juvy questioned the count then slammed down Rey near the corner.  Juvy went up top and came off with the 450 Splash but Rey rolled out of the way!  Rey went out to the apron and hit the Springboard Hurricanrana for the one ... two ... THREE!  Rey Misterio Jr. makes quick work over The Juice.

 

WINNER: Rey Misterio Jr. in 5:20.

  We cut to a shot of 'Y2J' Chris Jericho exiting his dressing room then to 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walking through the halls with the shredded towel over his head.  Chris Jericho versus Taz ... Our Main Event is next!

 

Main Event: Chris Jericho v. Taz - Non-Title.  "Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust blasted over the speakers as 'Y2J' Chris Jericho headed out to the ring.  Then, "WAR MACHINE" blared over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring.  The U.S. Heavyweight Title is not on the line here, this just simply a grudge match between Jericho and Taz.  "Walk" by Pantera blasted over the speakers as the NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam headed out of the entrance and took a seat with Styles and Heyman for commentary.  Van Dam said he always enjoys seeing Jericho get his ass handed to him.  Jericho started trash talking with Rob Van Dam and wasn't paying attention to Taz.  Jericho turned around, Taz hooked him and dumped Jericho with a Head & Arm Tazplex!  Taz covers for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Taz almost scores a very quick pin on Chris Jericho but Jericho managed to get the shoulder up.  Taz decked Jericho with a clothesline for two.  Taz sent Jericho into the ropes but Jericho grabbed the ropes and exited the ring but Van Dam got up and threw Jericho back into the ring.  Taz hit a German Tazplex for two!  Taz sent Jericho into the corner and charged in but Jericho moved then planted Taz with a bulldog to take control.  Somehow Jericho managed to maintain control of the pace of the match despire the early onslaught by Taz.  The closing moments of the match would see Taz go for a High Cradle Tazplex but Jericho went to the eyes.  Jericho hit an inverted atomic drop then headed up top and hit a missile dropkick for two.  Jericho went for the Walls Of Jericho but Taz kicked him off.  Taz then hit a belly-to-belly Tazplex!  Taz waited on Jericho then went for the Tazmission but Jericho countered it with a back suplex.  Jericho went for a Lionsault but Taz got the knees up.  Brock Lesnar ran down from the back.  Lesnar jumped up on the apron and distracted Taz.  Rob Van Dam rushed around and pulled Lesnar off the apron.  RVD tried to send Lesnar into the guardrail but Lesnar reversed it and sent RVD in hard.  Lesnar charged in but Van Dam ducked and backdropped Lesnar into the crowd!  Jericho came from behind with a low blow on Taz then planted him with the Breakdown for the one ... two ... THREE!  Chris Jericho steals the win over Taz!

 

WINNER: Chris Jericho in 13:30.
