"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,
John Cena, Taz, Brock Lesnar, Eddy Guerrero, Vampiro, Raven, Jeff Jarrett,
Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Booker T, Scott Steiner and more. This is New Generation Wrestling and this is
RING WARS... We entered the
arena with Joey Styles and Paul Heyman welcoming everyone to the show. We're just six days away from New York
Knockout and things are heating up.
Tonight; BOOKER T and JOHN CENA will team up against JEFF JARRETT and
KONNAN of the Wolfpac and much, much more... (1) Jamie Knoble v. Taka Michinoku "A Country
Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr sounded over the speakers as 'The
Redneck Messiah' Jamie Knoble headed out to the ring. Then, "A Touch Of Evil" by AC/DC
blared over the speakers as Taka Michinoku made his way out to the ring. We kicked things off this week on Ring Wars
with some real good Cruiserweight action.
Taka Michinoku showed some great mat work and technical wrestling
against Jamie Knoble. The ending would
see Knoble go for a Tombstone Piledriver but Michinoku floated over. Taka grabbed Knoble and went for the
Michinoku Driver IIb but Knoble flipped over behind and hit a german suplex! Knoble covered for the one ... two ... THR
... NO! Knoble pulled in Taka for a
power bomb but Taka countered it with a backdrop. Michinoku headed to the top and came off with
a missile dropkick but Knoble stepped back and grabbed Taka's legs. Knoble hit a knee breaker then held onto
Taka's leg and locked Taka in the Trailer Hitch! NO! Taka rolls up Knoble! ONE!
TWO! THREE! Taka Michinoku surprises
Jamie Knoble and scores the win! WINNER: Taka Michinoku in 8:11. Rating: *** After the match,
Knoble flipped out and decked Taka with a hard lariat. Knoble picked up Taka and planted him with a
power bomb! Knoble grabbed Taka's leg
and hooked him up in the Trailer Hitch!
Knoble started screaming at Taka, "You ain't nothin' to me, boy! How you like that, boy?" as Taka
screamed in pain. Knoble released the
Trailer Hitch and walked out of the ring with his hands in the air. ["Come Out And Play" by Offspring] Raven and The
Flock headed out of the entrance and down to the ring where Raven took a
microphone and slouched down in the corner... RAVEN: "You know,
fate is a cruel mistress and the hand that she has dealt me is defending the
World Tag Team Titles against Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar this Sunday. Chris Jericho, you've claimed that I've lost
control of The Flock. I do not control
anyone. We work as one, feeding of the
torment, the pain and the torture our souls have endured during our existence
and it is that pain that you will feel.
It is THAT PAIN that will bring you to your knees this Sunday." Saturn takes a
microphone... SATURN: "So
we're supposed to work as one, then what the hell were you (Kane) doing last
week? When you choke slammed me, when
you choke slammed Kanyon, you may as well have Choke Slammed Raven because you
defied The Flock." Kane grabs the
microphone away from Saturn... KANE: "You
may have been trying to dodge Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho but I want Brock
Lesnar and no one, not even you will stand in MY WAY!" RAVEN: "If
that's the case, Kane, then this Sunday you better destroy Brock Lesnar. You better take Brock Lesnar and show him why
you are the most dominant man in this company.
Where was your University scholarship?
Where was your big money contract?
You take Brock Lesnar and make him feel your pain and as far as Chris
Jericho goes. You leave him to me." ["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust] Chris Jericho
stepped out of the entrance and onto the stage with a microphone in hand... JERICHO:
"Raven, Raven, what about Raven?
You and your band of misfits can whine and complain all you want. Stop blaming people because you're not larger
than life like Chris Jericho. Stop
blaming other people because you're not a LIVING LEGEND like Chris Jericho. You tried to dodge me and Brock Lesnar for
good reason, you're gonna lose those World Tag Team Titles this Sunday,
junior. Raven, just what do you think
you're going to do with me this Sunday?
I'll tell you, absolutly nothing becuase you can't stop rock'n'roll, you
can't stop people making fun of you and you can't stop Chris Jericho." RAVEN: "Is
that so? Let's see what kind of a man
the self proclaimed Living Legend. Let's
see if you're running your mouth with a chair bashed into your skull. Chris Jericho, let's begin the persecution of
your soul tonight. No Holds Barred. You and me." JERICHO:
"You're on, Raven and you will get the beating you deserve." RAVEN: "Then
so it was written ... so it shall come to pass, Quote the Raven,
NEVERMORE!" Raven and Chris
Jericho, one-on-one, No Holds Barred, TONIGHT! (2) Psicosis & Super Crazzy v. Essa Rios & Rey
Misterio Jr. "Roadhouse
Blues Remix" blared over the speakers as 'The Insane Luchadore' Super
Crazzy and 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis headed out to the ring. Then, "Ashes To Ashes" by Madd One
blared over the speakers as Rey Misterio Jr. and Essa Rios made their way out
to the ring. Rey Misterio Jr. and Super
Crazzy will face off in a grudge match at New York Knockout. This would another real good lucha style tag
team match with tons of high flying moves.
The ending would see Crazzy go for the Trifecta Moonsaults on Rios but
Rios rolled out of the way on the third.
Rios went up and hit his Moonsault for the one ... two ... THR ...
Psicosis breaks up the pin! Crazzy made
the tag to Psicosis. Psicosis went for a
front layout suplex on Rios but Rios dropkicked Psicosis and made the tag to
Rey Misterio Jr. Misterio came in with
the Springboard Hurricanrana on Psicosis!
Rios just barely cut off Super Crazzy allowing Misterio to get the one
... two ... THREE! Rey Misterio Jr. and
Essa Rios pick up the win! Super Crazzy
went after Misterio but Misterio ducked out of the ring. WINNERS: Essa Rios and Rey Misterio Jr. in 8:21. Rating: *** 3/4 We headed out to
The Coach in the parking lot as a black stretch limo arrived to the arena. Out of the limo stepped the Wolfpac. Coach approached Jarrett for some comments on
his loss to John Cena last week. JARRETT:
"(Grabs away the microphone)
How about I ask the questions around here? Who was standing when the show ended last
week? The Wolfpac. Who was down screaming in pain? John Cena and Booker T. Who's gonna be left standing tonight? The WOLFPAC.
Who's going down at New York Knockout?
John Cena and Booker T. I lost
nothing last week, NOTHING." STEINER:
"Booker T, John Cena, all I got to say is don't say I didn't warn
you. If you mess with the man with the
largest arms in the world, you're gonna feel the pain, 'cause I'm the man with
the power, I'm the man with the Wolfpac watchin' my back." (3) Saturn v. Randy Orton "Beautiful
People" by Marilyn Manson blasted over the speakers as Saturn headed out
to the ring. Styles talked about how he
still doesn't understand why Saturn would go back to The Flock after breaking
free from Raven's mind games. Heyman
explained that desperate men do desperate things and Saturn was desperate to
get back into NGW. Then, "Here To
Stay" by KoRn blared over the speakers as Randy Orton made his way out to
the ring. When Saturn rejoined the Flock
he did so by costing Orton a match against Kanyon at Revenge so Orton was out
for revenge tonight. Styles announced
that this Sunday at the PPV, Randy Orton will team up with The Dudley Boyz
against The Flock. The ending would see
Saturn go for a brain buster but Orton floated over and hit a bulldog on Saturn
for two. Orton headed to the top and
came off with his Frog Press but Saturn moved out of the way. Saturn went up and connected with a flying
elbowdrop for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Orton got the shoulder up! Saturn lifted up Orton for the Death Valley
Driver but Orton countered with a crucifix for the one! TWO! THR! NO! Saturn went for a quick clothesline but Orton
ducked and hit a DDT on Saturn! Orton to
the top and Frog Press! He hit it! The ref counts one ... two ... THREE! Randy Orton gains some revenge over Saturn! WINNER: Randy Orton in 5:09. Rating: ** After the match,
Chris Kanyon and Scott Vick hit the ring.
They jumped Orton and double teamed him until The Dudley Boyz hit the
ring! Buh Buh caught Saturn with a Buh
Buh Bomb! Kanyon attacked Buh Buh from
behind. D-Von took Vick out with a
clothesline. D-Von spun Kanyon around
and sent him into the ropes. The crowd
knew what was coming. 3D! 3D! 3D on
Kanyon! Scott Vick and Saturn pulled
Kanyon out and dragged him up the aisle... We headed
backstage where The Coach stood outside of Taz's locker room to try and get
some comments from the U.S. Heavyweight Champion. Coach knocked on the door and Taz opened the
door. TAZ: "I guess
you want some comments, somethin' to talk about, I'll give you somethin' to
talk about but I'll do it on my terms. I
don't do things unless they're on my terms.
So I'll give you somethin' to talk about when I'm good and ready,
brah." (4) Michael Modest v. Low Ki "Natural
One" by Folk Implosion blared over the speakers as 'The Natural One'
Michael Modest headed out to the ring.
Then, "Boom" by Soulfly blasted over the speakers as Low Ki
made their way out to the ring. Low Ki
is heading into a shot at the World Cruiserweight Title this Sunday but first
he had to get by Mike Modest. This would
be an extremely stiff match as both Modest and Low Ki wrestle a real aggressive
style. Midway through the match,
'Dangerous' Devon Storm walked out on the ramp to scout his challenger for this
Sunday. The ending would see Modest take
Low Ki to the top and go for a headstand super rana but Low Ki landed on his
feet. Low Ki kicked Modest in the thigh
then hit some chops. Low Ki sent Modest
into the corner then came in with a handspring into a rolling koppo kick! Modest fell down to the mat and Low Ki headed
up top. Low Ki came off with a Phoenix
Splash but Modest rolled out of the way!
Modest grabbed Low Ki for a Fisherman Buster but Low Ki blocked it,
scooped up Modest and spiked him with the Ki Krusher for the one ... two ...
THREE! No one gets up from that! Devon Storm walked down to the ring after the
match and offered Low Ki a handshake.
Low Ki looked around then drilled Storm with a sharp kick to the side of
the head, knocking Storm down to the mat.
Low Ki then walked out of the ring as intense as usual. Low Ki's not interested in anything but
winning. WINNER: Low Ki in 6:43. Rating: *** We headed
backstage where The Coach got some comments from Booker T... BOOKER T:
"Like I've been saying, you want some, you gotta be bad enough to
take some. The Wolfpac took some last
week. They keep takin' and takin' but
the Booker man ain't givin' no more." John Cena
approaches Booker T... CENA: "Look,
man, we've gotta be on the same page if we're gonna take these guys down. You may not trust me but that was me beating
Jeff Jarrett in the ring last week. That
was me gettin' jumped and laid out right next to you, last week. We've got no choice but to work
together." BOOKER T:
"You know what, man, you're damn right that I got no choice but to
trust you. All you gotta do is hold up
your end and I'll take care of my end.
Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett, its gonna be like a neckbone, and its gonna
be straight up off the hook when we get us some of the Wolfpac. This ain't about gettin' money, this about
gettin' diamonds, this ain't about gettin' gold, this ain't about gettin'
nothin' but revenge. Now can you dig
that? SUUUUUUCCCKKKKAAAAA!" (5) Jeff Jarrett & Konnan v. John Cena & Booker T "Don't Turn
Your Back" blared over the speakers as the Wolfpac's 'The Chosen One' Jeff
Jarrett and 'K-Dawg' Konnan headed out to the ring. Then, "More Human Than Human (NIN
Remix)" by White Zombie blasted over the speakers as 'The Prototype' John
Cena made his way out. Cena stopped
short of the ring, waiting for his tag team partner. "Can You Dig It? SUCKA!" sounded as Booker T made his
entrance. Booker T and John Cena will
team up this Sunday against Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner but they'll take any
chance to get at the Wolfpac they can get.
Cena and Booker looked good early but the Wolfpac managed to trap Booker
T in their corner and wear him down. The
ending would see Jarrett and Konnan taking turns beating on Booker in the
corner. Jarrett hit a single arm DDT on
Booker for one ... two ... Cena breaks it up.
Jarrett complained to the ref then sent Booker into the ropes but Booker
came off with flying forearm shot!
Booker crawled over and made the tag to Cena while Jarrett rolled over
and tagged in Konnan. Cena cleaned house
on Konnan and sent him into the corner.
Cena came in with a big splash.
Jarrett came back in and caught Cena with a hotshot! Booker came in and went at Jarrett. Jarrett went to the eyes and went for an
irish whip but Booker pulled Jarrett in and hit a side kick. Booker waited on Jarrett and went for a
Harlem Sidekick! Jarrett ducked and
clothesline Booker to the floor. Jarrett
went out after Booker T. Konnan had
rolled out of the ring and grabbed a crowbar from under the ring. Vampiro ran out and into the ring. Vampiro grabs the crowbar from Konnan. Konnan turns around and walks right into the
Proto-Bomb! Cena covers Konnan for the
one ... two ... THREE! John Cena picks
up the win for his team. Vampiro kept
the crowbar and headed to the back. WINNERS: John Cena and Booker T in 6:01. Rating: ** We returned from
the commercial break, backstage where the Wolfpac was pacing around pissed off
and had grabbed The Coach... KONNAN:
"Vampiro, I thought we showed you just what happens when you cross
the Wolfpac. We left you for dead but
you're coming back for more? Are you
loco? You want more, you're gonna get
more cause my dance card is free for this Sunday and it looks like your punk
card needs to be filled again. Vampiro,
you and the K-Diggity Dawg this Sunday, Street Fight, that's enough." The Coach tried
to get some words from Scott Steiner but Big Poppa Pump just looked ready to
explode and stormed off. Styles said he
wouldn't want to be in Booker T or John Cena's shoes this Sunday... (Main Event) Raven v. Chris Jericho - No Holds Barred "Come Out
And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers as Raven pushed a shopping
cart full of plunder out to the ring for our No Holds Barred main event. Raven and Kane will defend the World Tag Team
Titles against Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar this Sunday at New York Knockout. Then, "Break The Walls Down" by
Sevendust blared over the speakers as Chris Jericho headed out to the
ring. Raven went right after Jericho in
the opening minutes, biting on Jericho's forhead and throwing him out to the
floor. Jericho didn't seem quite ready
for this No Holds Barred contest. Raven
caught Jericho with a russian legsweep into the barricade. It wasn't until Raven threw Jericho back in
the ring and went to get a garbage can that Jericho got into the match. Jericho hit a baseball slide dropkick sending
the garbage can into Raven's face. The
fact that Jericho and Raven are two of the most hated men in NGW, probably got
the crowd more into the match as they popped for both guys just beating the
hell out of the other. The No Holds
Barred rules were more of Raven's environment and it showed. Jericho would have to keep the match in the
ring and try to neutralize Raven's use of the weapons. The closing moments of the match would see
Raven send Jericho into the ropes but Jericho came off with a flying forearm. Jericho picked up Raven and tried to send him
into the ropes, Raven reversed and hit a drop toehold sending Jericho face
first into a steel chair! Raven covered
for the one ... two ... THR ... NO!
Jericho got the shoulder up!
Raven grabbed another chair and wedged it in the corner. Raven tried to send Jericho in but Jericho
reversed it sending Raven hard into the chair.
Raven staggered out and Jericho hit a bulldog! Jericho put a trash can on Raven and
LIONSAULT! Jericho was in a lot of pain
and couldn't get over to cover Raven.
That's when KANE walked out to the ring.
Kane grabbed Jericho by the throat for a Choke Slam but Jericho kicked
Kane right in the nuts! Brock Lesnar is
in and clotheslines Kane over the top to the floor! Kane lands on his feet and pulls Lesnar
out! The two monsters traded punches on
the floor. Jericho turns around and
EVENFLOW DDT on the chair! Raven covers
... one ... two ... THREE! Raven has won it over Chris Jericho with an Evenflow
DDT on a chair! NGW officials came out
to seperate Lesnar and Kane as we headed to a break. WINNER: Raven in 11:41. Rating: ** 1/4 We returned from
our final break of the evening to Joey Styles and Paul Heyman hyping up this
Sunday's New York Knockout when.. ["WAR MACHINE"] The NGW United
States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' TAZ walked out to the
ring. Taz headed around the ring and
grabbed a microphone then walked into the ring... TAZ: "Rob Van
Dam ... ROB VAN DAM ... You claim you're gonna show up this Sunday to face
Taz. You're coming to kick my ass? It just ain't gonna down like that,
brotha. What I'm gonna do is beat you
within an inch of your miserable life. I
am the World Champion and Rob Van Dam, we're gonna make trade this Sunday. I get my belt and you get choked out! RVD, I know you're listening so I'm gonna
tell you my gameplan, brotha. I'm comin'
after your neck like a shark goin after blood in water, I'm comin' after that
neck. Rob Van Dam, you're a tremendous
entertainer, everybody's favorite wrestler, one of the best athletes this
business has ever seen but you know what?
You can't beat me, I'm gonna make you, in a New York minute, I'm makin'
you tap! Rob Van Dam ... BEAT ME IF YOU
CAN ... SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!" TAZ raised his
arms in the air and the crowd exploded but not for Taz ... For Rob Van
Dam! Van Dam came out of the crowd with
a neckbrace on. Van Dam to the top and
connects with a flying kick to Taz's jaw!
Taz rolled out of the ring while Van Dam ripped off his neckbrace and
threw it at Taz. "walk" blared
over the speakers as the show came to an end.
