-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- NGW Ring Wars - October 14 / 2002 -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- First Union Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA -==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==- We kicked things
off with a montage of stills recapping the major events of last night's New
York Knockout. Eddy Guerrero aided the
Wolfpac leading to them defeating Booker T and John Cena. Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar won the World
Tag Team Titles from Raven and Kane. It
looked like Taz was going to choke Rob Van Dam out but three seconds later, it
was over and Rob Van Dam had retained the World Championship!
"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
First Union Arena with Joey Styles and Paul Heyman hyping up the show. Styles informed us that BOOKER T is not in
Wilkes-Barre tonight as he's still in New York getting an CatScan on a possible
concussion he suffered last night as a result of Jeff Jarrett's Piledriver on
the concrete. Styles said that Booker T
should be back next week, whether he's hurt or not. We then went to the ring for action... (1) Simon Diamond & Swinger v. Chris Jericho &
Brock Lesnar (c) - NGW World Tag Team Titles. "Simon
Says" by Drain STH blared over the speakers as Dawn Marie led Simon
Diamond and Swinger out to the ring.
Simon & Swinger earned this title shot on RAGE with a win over
Evolution & Jung Dragons. Then,
"Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust blasted over the speakers as the
new NGW World Tag Team Champions, Chris Jericho and Brock Lesnar headed down to
the ring. Jericho started it out with
Swinger and was doing quite well until Dawn Marie tripped him up. Simon & Swinger isolated Jericho in their
corner and took turns double teaming him.
Simon would go for the Simonizer but Jericho countered it with a back
suplex then made the tag to Lesnar.
Lesnar just cleaned house, clotheslines for both, a spinebuster for
Swinger and a spiral bomb for Simon Diamond.
Lesnar tagged Jericho back in, Jericho locked Simon in the Walls Of
Jericho for the submission. Chris
Jericho and Brock Lesnar keep their momenteum from last night and look to be an
unbeatable team! WINNERS: Chris Jericho & Brock Lesnar in 3:22. Rating: * (Chris Jericho & Brock Lesnar retained the NGW World
Tag Team Titles.) ["Don't Turn Your Back"] The Wolfpac, 'Big
Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner, 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett and 'K-Dawg' Konnan
all headed out of the entrance. Steiner
stoppped and pointed back to the entrance and out walked TRISH STRATUS! Trish kissed Steiner's biceps then joined
Steiner as he walked down to the ring.
Steiner took a microphone... STEINER: "You
see where Big Poppa Pump goes, the finest freaks follow. When I said I had a new favorite freak, I
didn't lie. When I said she was top of
the line, you can see I didn't lie! The
only time Big Poppa Pump is lieing is when he's got a freak on top! Now all of you Wilkes-Barre wussies, all you Wilkes
Barre white trash that are waiting for Booker T to show up, he's not comin'
cause the Wolfpac put his ass in a hospital.
We gave Booker T and John Cena fair warning that they weren't good
enough to take on the great athletes like the Wolfpac. But they let their egos get in the way and
they went down at the hands at the Wolfpac, isn't that right, Trish?" TRISH: "Oh
that is right, Big Poppa Pump. You might
be wondering what I'm doing here, why I'm a freak. I got tired of being with a loser so I came
to a place with the greatest man alive.
The man that all you other women wish you could be with. The big bad booty daddy! Now as my first official act as the favorite
freak, I'd like to introduce the newest member of the Wolfpac ... EDDY
GUERRERO!" ["Siempre Peligroso" by Cypress Hill] Eddy Guerrero
headed out of the entrance in a Wolfpac T-Shirt. Guerrero scowled at the fans but then began
to smile as he approached the ring.
Guerrero got into the ring and hugged Steiner, Jarrett and Konnan. Guerrero took the microphone... GUERRERO:
"Eddy Guerrero in the Wolfpac?
It don't get any better then this.
A few weeks ago, I had a problem.
Yeah, homeys, I had a real big problem with this new guy, this John Cena
getting all the attention. He was taking
*MY* spotlight ... *MY* television time!
And Eddy Guerrero, el luchador más grande del mundo, couldn't deal with
that, ese! This punk got everything
handed to him. A big entrance. TV time.
Interviews. He got it all while
Eddy Guerrero got pushed aside. USTED NO
PUEDE EMPUJARME A UN LADO! YOU CAN'T
PUSH ME ASIDE! So I found myself a
familia, who represents the same things that Eddy Guerrero does. The same things that Eddy Guerrero is all
about, holmes. I'm not gonna complain
about being screwed around by management anymore, I'm gonna take TV time when I
want it, I'm gonna take the spotlight and anybody that I see doesn't deserve it
will get exactly what John Cena got last night and that was his ass kicked! That brings me to ROB VAN DAM! R-V-D!
The so called World Champion. I
got a problem with R-V-D. He's dodgin'
me, man cause he knows that Eddy Guerrero could take that World Championship
from him in a snap of my fingers. Orale,
Van Dam, I want you in this ring TONIGHT for the World Championship! Or else the Wolfpac is gonna hunt you down
and rip you apart!" ["Walk" by Pantera] The NGW World
Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam headed out of the entrance and onto
the stage with a microphone... VAN DAM:
"Eddy Guerrero, you can whine, you can complain, you can bitch and
moan, you can join any group you want, you can throw out threats and challenges
but no matter how hard you try, no matter what you do, you're never gonna be
ROB VAN DAM! And that means you're never
gonna the World Champion cause I've got no plans on giving this up any time
soon. But if you want a shot, if that
will shut you up, then you've a shot TONIGHT!" NGW Commissioner,
Shawn Michaels came on the big screen... MICHAELS:
"Wait a minute here. You two
can have your matcht onight for the World Championship but there's gonna be a
special stipulation. You see, Eddy, Rob
Van Dam doesn't have to defend against you tonight, but he is so what I'm gonna
do is this. I'm banning the Wolfpac from
ringside, if any of you interfere in the match, not only will you be fined and
suspended but I will be watching and I will overturn any decision and
disqualify Eddy Guerrero. Eddy Guerrero,
you've got your shot tonight but you've gotta do it all on your own. Seeya!" Rob Van Dam
defends the World Championship against Eddy Guerrero tonight! What a main
event! (2) Jamie Knoble v. Low Ki "A Country
Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr blared over the speakers as 'The
Redneck Messiah' Jamie Knoble headed out to the ring. Then, "Boom" by Soulfly blasted
over the speakers as the challenger Low Ki made his way out to the ring. Low Ki is coming off a tough loss to the
World Cruiserweight Champion Devon Storm last night while Jamie Knoble is fresh
off a big win over Taka Michinoku. This
would be a very rough match with lots of mat work and striking. The ending would see Knoble hit a gutbuster
for the one ... two ... NO! Knoble
headed up top but Low Ki came in with a handspring enziguri! Knoble fell to the canvas, Low Ki went up and
hit a Phoenix Splash for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Knoble gets the shoulder up! Low Ki measured Knoble and kicked him in the
chest, again and then went for a big kick to the head but Knoble ducked,
tripped up Low Ki and locked him in the Trailer Hitch! Low Ki had nowhere to go, he tried to hold on
but couldn't and tapped out! Jamie
Knoble wins two big matches in two nights! WINNER: Jamie Knoble in 8:10. Rating: *** We headed out to
the entrance of the building to see TAZ walking into the arena with his head
down and sunglasses on. The Coach
approached Taz, Taz kept walking but Coach hounded him until Taz stopped. COACH: "Taz,
it was a tough loss last night against Rob Van Dam and I'm sure you don't wanna
talk about it but what I wanted was your thoughts on your non-title match
tonight against Randy Orton?" TAZ: "Randy
Orton, huh? Randy Orton. I'm gonna teach this punk kid a lesson. I'm gonna beat his ass so bad that the
fourth, fifth and sixth generations of Orton's are gonna be in pain. I had Rob Van Dam choked out last night and
Van Dam, you didn't beat me, brotha, you can't.
I beat myself and tonight I'm gonna beat Randy Orton. I'm gonna take this kid and I'm gonna take
every bit of rage, every bit of anger that's inside of me and unleash it on
me. You're in the wrong place at the
wrong time, kid and you will go down tonight as JUST ANOTHA VICTIM!" (3) Saturn v. Vampiro "Beautiful
People" by Marilyn Manson blasted over the speakers as The Flock's Saturn
headed out of the ring. Then, "Kong
At The Gates" by The Misfits blared over the speakers as 'The Dark Angel'
Vampiro made his way out to the ring.
Both these men were victorious last night as Vampiro scored the win over
Konnan in a street fight while Saturn got the win for The Flock in a six man
tag. The ending of this match would see
Vampiro go for a superkick but Saturn countered it with a legsweep. Saturn hit a waistlock suplex then headed up
top. Vampiro caught up to him and hit a
belly-to-back superplex for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Vampiro called for the Vampiro Spike. Vampiro scooped up Saturn and Vampiro Spike! Vampiro covered but Konnan slid into the ring
and drilled Vampiro in the back of the head with the crowbar for a DQ! WINNER: Vampiro via DQ in 4:56. Rating: ** After the match,
Konnan threw down the crowbar on a bloody Vampiro and walked out of the
ring. Saturn pulled himself to his feet
when a masked man slid into the ring out of nowhere and planted Saturn with a
DDT! This 'X' masked man escaped through
the crowd again... We headed
backstage where Terri was with the NGW Commissioner, Shawn Michaels who had an
announcement to make.. MICHAELS:
"Now you know Terri since day one, I've said time and time again
that I will do anything ande everything in my power to make New Generation
Wrestling the greatest wrestling organization in the world today. I brought in Vampiro, I brought in Eddy
Guerrero, I brought in Chris Jericho, I brought in Booker T, and many
more. I've been real busy the last few
weeks and that's why I haven't been on TV much.
I've been working on something big and that big thing is trying to sign
'The World's Most Dangerous Man'. That's
right, I'm talking about Ken Shamrock. I
just got off the phone with Shamrock and he has agreed to come here next week
and hear me out in person to decide whether he wants to be a part of NGW. And if anyone can get that deal done, it's
Shawn Michaels." (4) Super Crazzy & Psicosis & James Maritado v.
Devon Storm & Rey Misterio Jr. & Trent Acid "Roadhouse
Blues Remix" blared over the speakers as 'The Insane Luchadore' Super
Crazzy, 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis and James Maritado headed out to the
ring for this six man tag. Then,
"Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails blasted over the speakrs as the NGW
World Cruiserweight Champion, 'Dangerous' Devon Storm, Rey Misterio Jr. and
Trent Acid all made their way out to the ring.
This would be another incredible cruiserweight match coming off three
very different yet great Cruiserweight contests last night at New York
Knockout. The ending would see Crazzy go
for the Trifecta Moonsaults on Storm but Storm rolled out of the way on the
last one. Storm then hit the Mind Bender
on Crazzy for the one ... two ... THR ... Maritado makes the pin! Trent Acid
came in and took Maritado to the outside.
Acid came out with a running somersault senton onto Maritado! Psicosis then jumped out with a ropeflip
moonsault onto Acid! Rey Misterio Jr ran
out but did the fakeout in the
ropes. Psicosis breathed a sigh of
relief but Rey came through with a dropkick then an asai moonsault to
Psicosis! Devon Storm was gonna go out
with a plancha but Crazzy spun him around and hit the Crazzy Bomb for the one
... two ... THREE! Super Crazzy has
pinned the World Cruiserweight Champion to win this six man for his team! WINNERS: Super Crazzy & Psicosis & Jamie Maritado
in 11:25. Rating: *** 3/4 ["Come Out And Play" by Offspring] Raven walked out
of the entrance, trailed by The Flock; Kane, Saturn, Chris Kanyon and Scott
Vick. Raven headed into the ring where
he took a microphone... RAVEN: "Last
night in Madison Square Garden, The Flock let me down. Sure, Saturn, Kanyon and Vick, you won your
match but where were you when this ... this ... this masked man jumped me? You were nowhere to be found. And you, Kane. Your insubordination put our World Tag Team
Titles in jeopardy and ultimatly cost us the gold. I've been thinking that maybe you're not to
blame. The suits up in the skyboxes must
hate the way Brock Lesnar makes everyone else look inferior. Its no secret that you're considered a misfit
and a freak. So is management to blame
for pitting the two monsters of this company at odds? Maybe they figure one of you is bound to get
hurt, one of you will be put out of wrestling.
But I won't give them what they want.
Kane will never step foot in the same ring as Brock Lesnar. It will not happen. Quote the..." Kane grabbed the
microphone from Raven... KANE: "You
listen to me, Raven, you don't tell me what to do! I want Brock Lesnar one on one and I will get
him." Raven takes the
microphone back from Kane... RAVEN: "Shut
up, Kane, you let me to the planning, you let me show you the way because on
your own, you don't have what it takes to survive. I'm the only one that understands your
pain. As I was saying Kane will never
step foot in the ring with Brock Lesnar." Kane grabbed
Raven by the throat and spoke into the microphone... KANE: "I WANT
LESNAR OR ELSE!" RAVEN: "This
is how you treat me? After all that I've
done for you. What about me? WHAT ABOUT RAVEN?" Kane lifted Raven
up for a Choke Slam but The Flock jumped Kane before he could slam Raven. Raven encouraged The Flock to keep beating on
Kane. Kane tried to fight back but Raven
drilled Kane low then spiked him with an Evenflow DDT. Saturn and Kanyon held Kane as Raven grabbed
the microphone... RAVEN: "Kane,
your insubordination has cost you the only people that understand you. You're on your own now Kane and when you
fail, you will never be accepted back into the Flock. So it was written, so it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven, NEVERMORE!" The Flock beat on
Kane some more then Raven called them off and they left the ring. Kane has just been cut out of The Flock! (5) Sonny Siaki v. Scott Steiner We returned from
the break with newcomer, Sonny Siaki already in the ring and being
introduced. Then, "I Need A
Freak" by Too $hort blared over the speakers as Trish Stratus led 'Big
Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner out to the ring.
Trish looked over Siaki, who was in great condition and got him to flex
but then shook her head and moved back over to Steiner as Steiner posed. Steiner threw Siaki down to the mat and posed
some more. Steiner just dominated the
youngster. Steiner would go for a
Steinerline but Siaki ducked and hit a dropkick then went for a frankensteiner
but Steiner flattened Siaki with a power bomb.
Steiner dropped a couple elbows and covered but pulled up Siaki. Steiner dropped Siaki with a military press
slam then locked him in the Steiner Recliner!
Siaki quickly tapped out to end the slaughter. WINNER: Scott Steiner in 2:02. Rating: DUD We headed
backstage where Randy Orton was lacing up his boots for his match with Taz when
Goldust entered the room with a baseball hat, padding to make a 'beer gut', a
whistle and clipboard. ORTON:
"What're you doing, man?" GOLDUST: "You
speak only when spoken to, rookie. You
hear me? Tonight I want you to go out
there and follow my gameplan or else you're gonna find yourself nothing more
then a glorified water boy. Mmmmmmm
water boys. Anyways, here's the plan,
rookie. The best defense is a good
offense. You're gonna hit Taz high, hit
him hard and hit him often." ORTON:
"(shaking his head) I got it covered, don't worry about me." Orton patted
Goldust on the shoulder and walked out of the room... GOLDUST:
"Just remember, kid, it's not whether you win or lose ... Its whether
you can stop Taz from breaking your neck." Goldust looked
worried... (6) Taz v. Randy Orton - Non-Title "WAR
MACHINE" blasted over the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight
Champion, 'The Human Suplex Machine' Taz walked out to the ring for non-title
action. Taz was looking as volatile as
ever coming up short last night against Rob Van Dam. Then, "Here To Stay" by KoRn
blasted over the speakers as Randy Orton headed out to the ring. Orton didn't look nervous at all. Orton looked up with Taz and Taz slammed his
head backwards into the mat. Taz mounted
Orton and viciously clubbed the sides of his head. The ref pulled Taz off but Taz shoved him
aside and went back after Orton. Taz
dumped Orton with a T-Bone Tazplex then started smacking him around. Taz went for a Hardway Tazplex but Orton
elbowed him off, sent Taz into the ropes and hit a dropkick. Taz stumbled out of the ring and Orton came
out with a plancha but Taz moved! Taz
hit a Concrete Crack on the floor then rolled Orton back into the ring. Taz looked to be enjoying himself, just
tearing apart the youngster. Orton got a
few flashes of offense but was looking glassy eyed from all the suplexes. The ending would see Taz hit a Head & Arm
Tazplex then stalk Orton for the Tazmission!
Taz shook his head, grabbed Orton and Hardway Tazplex! Taz covered Orton but pulled him up at
two. Taz laughed then picked up Orton
and placed him on the top rope. Taz
headed up for a Super Head & Arm Tazplex!
Orton blocks it, shoves Taz down to the mat! FROG PRESS!
Orton hit it! ONE! TWO! THREE! OH
MY GOD! Orton just pinned Taz! WINNER: Randy Orton in 5:10. Rating: * 3/4 After the match,
Taz sat up almost in a state of shock then drilled Orton in the back of the
head with a clothesline! Taz locked
Orton in the Tazmission, choking Orton out violently. Taz threw the referee around then went out of
the ring. Taz went under the ring and
pulled out a table. Taz brought the
table into the ring and set it up.
"I'M GONNA BREAK HIS ****ING NECK!" Taz yelled. Taz grabbed Orton in the Tazmission and
looked around but Goldust ran down and pulled Orton away from Taz. Goldust held up Orton and took him to the
back as Taz shook his head in the ring, steaming. Things are not going well for The Human
Suplex Machine... We cut backstage
to a shot of the NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam finishing
his stretching then putting his belt over his shoulder and leaving his dressing
room. Rob Van Dam defends against Eddy Guerrero

representing the Wolfpac, Eddy Guerrero headed out to the ring along with Trish
Stratus. The Wolfpac may be banned but
Trish is a certified manager and allowed to be there. Then, "Walk" by Pantera blasted
over the speakers as the NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam
made his way out to the ring. Styles and
Heyman discussed what condition Rob Van Dam is in, considering he's not
medically cleared from his neck injury and Taz inflicted a lot of damage on
RVD's neck last night. We'd soon find
out as Guerrero went right for the neck of Van Dam. RVD was showing the signs of the pain and
couldn't shake it off. With the World
Championship on the line, Guerrero was gonna do everything he could to that
neck of Rob Van Dam. These two have had incredible
battles in the past including the Ironman Match where RVD narrowly came out on
top but Guerrero beat RVD several times.
The closing moments of this match would see Eddy lock Van Dam in a Gory
Special, putting all the pressure on Van Dam's neck but RVD wouldn't give in. Guerrero spun Van Dam around and dropped him

and headed out to the apron. Guerrero
came in with a somersault senton for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Van Dam kicked out! Guerrero twisted the arm then ran up the

He hits it! RVD struggles over to
make the cover... ONE.... TWO... ....THREE! Rob Van Dam has retained the NGW World
Championship but just barely! WINNER: Rob Van Dam in 13:30. Rating: *** 3/4 (Rob Van Dam retained the NGW World Championship.) After the match,

the Steiner Recliner! Guerrero hit the
ropes and seated dropkick to Van Dam's face!

2002: Essa Rios and La Parka defeated The Jung Dragons when
Rios pinned Kaz Hayashi with the Moonsault in 8:34. Rating: *** -Prior to the

him, "Will ya feel me, dog?"
Konnan wasn't down with that and jumped Goldust to start the match. Goldust pinned Konnan with the Curtain Call in 5:06. Rating: * 1/4 -Vampiro paid
Konnan back for the assault on Ring Wars leading to Goldust taking a big win. -Backstage; John
Cena talked about the incredible roll he's been on since joining NGW. Cena hoped that Kanyon enjoyed the feeling of
