NGW Ring Wars - September 9 / 2002

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

 

  "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 just six days from Revenge.  Tonight; Raven will go one-on-one with Randy Orton, Booker T battles Konnan and in our Main Event; THE DUDLEY BOYZ face CHRIS JERICHO and BROCK LESNAR in a TABLE MATCH!  All that and more tonight on Ring Wars...

 

Opening Match: Super Crazzy v. Michael Modest.  "Roadhouse Blues Remix" blared over the speakers as 'The Insane Luchadore' Super Crazzy headed out to the ring for his debut match in NGW.  Then, "Natural One" by Folk Implosion blared over the speakers as 'The Natural One' Michael Modest made his way out to the ring.  Super Crazzy and Psicosis will face off with Essa Rios and La Parka in a Lucha Libre Rules match this Sunday at Revenge.  Tonight Crazzy had his hands full with Michael Modest.  Modest wasn't interested in falling into Crazzy's arial style and instead grounded Crazzy.  The closing moments of the match would see Crazzy lock Modest in an inverted surfboard with a facelock.  Modest refused to give up and Crazzy soon released the hold.  Crazzy pulled Modest into the corner for a swinging DDT but Modest threw him off then drilled Crazzy with a lariat for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Modest went for the Death Valley Driver but Crazzy slid down the back and cradled Modest for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Crazzy chopped Modest but Modest fired back with some forearms then sent Crazzy into the ropes.  Crazzy came off with a spinning leg lariat then picked up Modest and hit the Crazzy Bomb for the one ... two ... THREE!  Super Crazzy is victorious over Mike Modest!

 

WINNER: Super Crazzy in 6:47.

Rating: ***

 

  We cut to a shot of earlier today as Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar arrived to the arena.  Road agent, Fit Finley, informed them about tonight's Table Match against The Dudley Boyz.  Jericho looked ready to throw a tantrum but Lesnar stopped him and smiled, rubbing his hands in anticipation.  Chris Jericho's inflated ego quickly returned...

  The Coach was standing by with NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels for an interview...

 

MICHAELS:  "Well Coach, we've got a .... what the hell is this?"

 

  Goldust approached Michaels wearing chaps and a vest.  Goldust was dancing around and singing a 'variation' of a familiar tune..

 

GOLDUST:  "I think I'm cute ... I know I'm gold ... I've got the looks that drives them all wild.  I've got the moves (breathes in deep and exhales) that really move 'em.  I send chills up and down their spines.  I'm just a sexy boy ... SEXY boy!  I'll be your boytoy ... BOYTOY! I make them HOT.."

 

MICHAELS:  "STOP IT! STOP IT NOW YOU FREAK!  Get the hell away from me!"

 

GOLDUST:  "Don't break my heart, Shawn.  Come on Caesar ... Feed me to the lions!"

 

MICHAELS:  "Alright you want back in?  You've got a match tonight with ... TAZ!  And stay the hell away from me."

 

Match #2: Raven v. Randy Orton.  "Come Out And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as Raven, one half of the World Tag Team Champions, made his way out to the ring for singles action.  Then, "Here To Stay" by KoRn blared over the speakers as Randy Orton headed out to the ring.  Raven and The Flock have had their problems with Orton and now Raven was looking to take care of Orton himself.  Raven brawled it out with Orton and introduced the rookie to his rugged style.  Raven and Kane defend the World Tag Team Titles in a Double Tables match against The Dudley Boyz this Sunday but Raven had his hands full here with Orton as do The Dudleyz later with Jericho and Lesnar.  The ending of this match would see Orton go for a back suplex but Raven blocked it and hit a bulldog for two.  Raven went for a running kneelift but Orton side stepped it and caught Raven with a dropkick.  Orton quickly headed up top but Raven shoved the referee into the ropes crotching Orton.  The referee got in Raven's face and threatened him.  Orton got back up and came off with the High Cross Body but it looked like Raven pulled the referee in the way!  Raven went for the Evenflow DDT but Orton dropped down and nailed Raven low!  Orton the caught Raven with a bulldog but there was no referee.  Orton went to wake up the referee and Kanyon ran out.  Kanyon grabbed Raven's World Tag Team Title belt and came into the ring.  Kanyon came at Orton but Orton saw him coming.  Kanyon backed off for a moment but only to allow Raven to grab Orton.  Kanyon swung with the belt but Orton moved and Kanyon hit Raven!  Orton drilled Kanyon with a dropkick sending him out of the ring then covered Raven for the one ... two ... THREE!  Randy Orton pulls off his biggest upset yet with a pinfall over Raven!

 

WINNER: Randy Orton in 5:56.

Rating: **

 

  After the match, Kanyon came in after Orton but Orton slipped out of the ring with his victory intact.  Raven got up and looked ready to go off on Kanyon but Kanyon grabbed the microphone first...

 

KANYON:  "Calm down, Raven, please boss, calm down.  Hey Orton!  One more time, me and you this Sunday.  Raven, I'm gonna make it all up to you, I promise.  I'm not only going to beat that rookie Randy Orton within an inch of his life but I'm going to have a surprise for you this Sunday.  I've been working on it for awhile now and its just about done.  You're gonna love it, boss."

 

  Raven snatches the microphone from Kanyon...

 

RAVEN:  "Kanyon, unlike all of these people I don't turn on my friends when they make a mistake.  I'm going to give you a chance to redeem yourself this Sunday.  You better win your match and this surprise of yours better be good. Quo..."

 

  Kanyon pulls the microphone away...

 

KANYON:  "Thank you, Raven, thank you boss.  I won't let you down, I pro..."

 

  Raven kicked Kanyon and spiked him with the Evenflow DDT then grabbed the microphone...

 

RAVEN:  "Redeem yourself this Sunday, Kanyon or you're done with The Flock.  Quote the Raven, NEVERMORE!"

 

Match #3: Psicosis v. Devon Storm.  "Loco" by Coal Chamber blared over the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis headed out to the ring.  Then, "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails blared over the speakers as Daffney accompanied 'Dangerous' Devon Storm out to the ring.  Devon Storm looked to continue to climb the ranks of the Cruiserweight Division while Psicosis was looking to continue his momenteum heading into the Lucha Libre Tag Team match teaming with Super Crazzy against Essa Rios and La Parka this Sunday. The ending would see Storm head to the top but Psicosis caught up to him and hit a superplex for 2 1/2.  Psicosis then planted Storm with a power bomb for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!  Psicosis slammed down Storm and headed up top.  Psicosis with the Guillotine Legdrop!  Storm moves!  Storm spiked Psicosis with a brain buster for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Psicosis kicked out!  Super Crazzy quickly came down to ringside sensing Psicosis was in trouble.  Storm paid no attention, slamming down Psicosis then heading up top and connecting with a big splash!  Storm covered for the one ... two ... Crazzy puts Psicosis' foot on the ropes!  Storm yelled at Crazzy then Psicosis caught him with a release german suplex.  La Parka came out of the entrance, strutting down to ringside with a chair!  Parka shook his finger at Crazzy from behind then tapped him on the shoulder!  Parka drilled Crazzy with the chair!  Parka danced but he was looking a lot smaller.  Parka pulled off his mask to reveal Essa Rios!  The referee's attention was distracted and the real La Parka had come through the crowd!  Parka to the top, Psicosis turns around and Twisting Bodyblock connects!  Parka slid out of the ring and Storm caught Psicosis with the Mind Bender for the one ... two ... THREE!  Essa Rios and La Parka pull one over on Psicosis and Super Crazzy as Devon Storm gets another win!

 

WINNER: Devon Storm in 8:10.

Rating: *** 1/4

  The Coach got some comments from the NGW World Champion, Rob Van Dam about his title defense against Chris Jericho in six days...

 

VAN DAM:  "Hey look, Chris Jericho likes to run his mouth a lot about how he's larger than life.  About how he's some kind of Living Legend.  Does that mean he's gonna be fat, bitter, balding and boring like the last guy that called himself a Living Legend?  Anyways, Chris Jericho, I busted up your nose once but this Sunday, the beating you get will hurt a hell of a lot more then a broken nose.  When its all said and done, after you've been staring at the light for the one-two-three, you're gonna have to shake my hand just like you said.  Now I don't have a problem with Chris Jericho being a living legend or larger than life because he needs something.  Afterall, he'll never be the World Champion and most importantly, he'll never be ... ROB VAN DAM!"

 

  We then cut to a shot of something that happened during the last break.  As Devon Storm walked through the curtain after his victory he was approached by Rey Misterio Jr.

 

MISTERIO:  "Storm, Devon Storm ... Great win out there, man.  Look I'm a fighting champion and you seem to be worthy of a shot at this World Cruiserweight Title.  I'm gonna give you a shot this Sunday at Revenge."

 

STORM:  "That's all I've been working for is a shot at you and at that gold.  You're a great champion, Rey, but I'm gonna have to take that title this Sunday."

 

MISTERIO:  "We'll see, man, we'll see."

 

Match #4: Goldust v. Taz - Non-Title.  "Shattered Dreams" sounded over the speakers as Goldust made his way out to the ring.  Goldust was banished from NGW months ago after playing some twisted mind games but he resurfaced last week, propositioning Shawn Michaels.  Michaels wanted none of it then Goldust did the same tonight.  Michaels let Goldust back but threw him right into a match with Taz.  "WAR MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring.  Taz took off his towel and circled Goldust to start the match.  Goldust grabbed the towel and *ahem* rubbed himself with it.  Taz didn't know what to make of Goldust.  Goldust threw the towel in Taz's face and attacked!  Goldust's sneak attack didn't last long as Taz took over and never looked back.  The ending would see Taz go for a Head & Arm Tazplex but Goldust bit him!  Goldust connected with a flying lariat then picked up Taz for the Curtain Call but Taz flipped over his back and grabbed Goldust in the Tazmission!  Goldust quickly tapped out giving Taz the win.  Taz let go for Goldust but then dumped him with a belly-to-back tazplex!

 

WINNER: Taz in 4:03.

Rating: *

 

  After the match, Taz grabbed the microphone from the ring announcer...

 

TAZ:  "BROCK LESNAR!  Brock, brotha, you're a big nasty son of a bitch but you're human.  Somehow, some way, they all get CHOKED OUT!  One way or another, one slip up, one false move, and you will get choked out.  Brock, you're everything that wrestling promoters dream of.  You're what they see as marketable.  Well this Human Suplex Machine is gonna throw a wrench into their plans by taking down the monster this Sunday.  I am Taz.  BEAT ME IF YOU CAN ... SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!"

  The Coach got some comments from Booker T before his match with Konnan...

 

BOOKER T:  "This guy, Konnan.  He likes to jump people from behind and hit 'em with a crowbar.  I can dig that, he's doin' what he's gotta do cause he can't get it done without that stuff.  Konnan's a guy that likes to act like he's from the hood.  Nah.  Booker T is from the streets.  Booker T was born and bred in the Hood.  Konnan, to me, you're just one of those suckas hanging on the street corner, actin' like you're street, talkin' like you're street but when it comes right down to it, you ain't street.  So playa tonight, I'm gonna send a message to your other boys in the Wolfpac through you.  And I'm gonna show you how we do things down up in Harlem, sucka."

 

COACH:  "One more question, who is your partner going to be at Revenge?"

 

BOOKER T:  "I've found somebody that hates Kevin Nash maybe even more than I do.  I found somebody that wants to take the Wolfpac down and out.  He ain't never gonna be my friend but if I can get him this Sunday, the Wolfpac, they won't know what hit 'em.  If he's not game, then I'll just have to take those two suckas out myself.  Dig it?"

 

Match #5: Konnan v. Booker T.  "Don't Turn Your Back" blared over the speakers as 'K-Dawg' Konnan made his way out to the ring.  Then, "Can You Dig It? SUCKA!" echooed through the arena as Booker T headed out to the ring.  Konnan goes one-on-one with Vampiro this Sunday at Revenge while Booker T will bring a partner to face Kevin Nash and Jeff Jarrett.  If the Wolfpac wins then they never have to deal with Booker T again.  It was Konnan who cost Booker a match against Jarrett a few weeks ago so Booker was looking to get some revenge one-on-one.  The ending of this match would see Konnan go for a rolling clothesline but Booker caught him for the Neckwrecker!  Konnan elbowed out and hit a face slam for two.  Konnan sent Booker into the ropes and connected with a rolling clothesline.  Konnan went for a Power Drop but Booker backdropped Konnan!  Booker with the spinarooni!  Booker connected with a Harlem Sidekick sending Konnan out to the floor!  Konnan held up the Wolfpac sign in the air, calling to the back for help but out came Vampiro instead!  Vampiro walked down the aisle but was jumped from behind by Jeff Jarrett and Kevin Nash!  Konnan went under the ring and pulled out the crowbar.  Konnan slid into the ring, turned around swinging but Booker caught him and Neckwrecker!  Booker T covers for the one ... two ... THREE!  Booker T takes the win over Konnan!

 

WINNER: Booker T in 5:38.

Rating: ** 1/4

 

  Afterwards, Nash and Jarrett didn't make it in time to break up the pin but were in after.  Booker grabbed Jarrett for the Neckwrecker but ate a big boot from Nash before he could hit it.  Jarrett grabbed Booker and Hotshot!  Nash pulled Booker in and planted him with the Jacknife Power Bomb!  The Wolfpac stood over Booker T once again.  Booker better be able to get this partner or he'll have no chance on his own...

 

  We then went to a video promo showcasing the power of John Cena.  Footage of Cena working out was shown.  While he possess all the elements of the ultimate man, he is a man and not some machine.  He has the heart, the passion, the courage, the pride and the desire that will make him the best he can possibly be.  'THE PROTOTYPE' JOHN CENA ... Next week on Ring Wars.

 

Main Event: Chris Jericho & Brock Lesnar v. The Dudley Boyz - Table Match.  "Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust blasted over the speakers as 'Y2J' Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar headed out to the ring for this Main Event Table Match.  Then, "Turn The Tables" by Saliva blared over the speakers as The Dudley Boyz made their way out to the ring.  All these four men are challenging for championships this Sunday.  Brock Lesnar challenges Taz for the United States Heavyweight Title.  The Dudley Boyz challenge Raven and Kane for the World Tag Team Titles.  And Chris Jericho challenges Rob Van Dam for the NGW World Championship.  But first they had to get through each other in this Table Match.  The match started out as a normal tag match at first but soon degenerated into an all out brawl.  Only one wrestler has to go through a table to win this as opposed to the Double Tables rules this Sunday.  While The Dudley Boyz are a well oiled tag team and one of the best, Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar were quite the force together.  The closing moments of the match would see Jericho hit a face slam on D-Von then lay him on the table in the ring.  Jericho was going to Lionsault D-Von through the table but Buh Buh came in and caught Jericho with a Buh Buh Bomb!  Buh Buh climbed up top and D-Von grabbed Jericho but Lesnar came in and took D-Von out with a lariat.  Buh Buh had Jericho up for the Super Bomb but Jericho fought it.  Lesnar came over on the apron and clubbed Buh Buh in the back.  Jericho dropped down and D-Von pulled him out of the ring.  Lesnar came back in and drilled Buh Buh with a few shots.  Buh Buh went to the eyes and got down of the top.  Buh Buh backed Lesnar into the corner then climbed up, drilling Lesnar with punches.  Lesnar shook them off, grabbed Buh Buh, walked out and POWER BOMBED him through the table!  What strength!  Lesnar power bombed Buh Buh Ray Dudley through the table for the win!

 

WINNERS: Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar in 10:34.

Rating: ** 3/4

 

  After the match, Raven and Kane ran out and jumped D-Von Dudley, trying to wear down The Dudleyz as much as possible before Sunday.  Wait!  Taz is in the ring!  Lesnar turns around and T-Bone Tazplex on Lesnar!  Lesnar rolled out of the ring, shocked that he was just tazplexed!  Taz went right out after him.  Chris Jericho slid into the ring and celebrated but not for long as Rob Van Dam ran out and jumped up top.  Jericho turned around and RVD kicked him in the face!  Van Dam to the top and FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!  All hell is breaking loose!  We're outta time!  See you at Revenge!
