"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
Municipal Auditorium with Joey Styles and Diamond Dallas Page welcoming
everyone to the show. What a show we've
got tonight. TOMMY DREAMER will get
CHRIS KANYON in the ring. TAZ must
defend his U.S. Heavyweight Title against KEN SHAMROCK. To cap off the night we have a HUGE Main
Event with ROB VAN DAM defending the NGW World Championship against BOOKER T... (1) Jamie Knoble v. Red "A Country
Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr blared over the speakers as 'The
Redneck Messiah' Jamie Knoble made his way out to the ring. Then, "It's Going Down" by
X-Ecutioners blared over the speakers as 'The Amazing' Red headed out to make
his NGW debut. Red has been dazzling the
Northeast indy scene for quite some time, enough that NGW couldn't help but
notice and bring him into the Cruiserweight Division. Red likes to fly but Knoble is a master at
grounding the flyers. The ending would
see Knoble go for a seated Tiger Driver but Red countered it with a
frankensteiner! Red ducked a lariat then
planted Knoble with the Code Red for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! Knoble got the shoulder up! Red headed to the top but Knoble caught up to
him. Knoble hit a big superplex for the
one ... two ... THR ... NO! Knoble
picked up Red sent him into the ropes.
Red ducked a clothesline, then came off with a koppo kick! Red went for the Red Star Press but Knoble
got the knees up. Knoble tied up Red in
the Trailer Hitch for the submission! A
good showing for Red but Jamie Knoble is on top of his game. WINNER: Jamie Knoble in 9:29. Rating: *** After the match,
Jamie Knoble picked up the microphone... KNOBLE: "Hey!
Look at thet, I won again! I jest keep on winnin' on account of when I win, I
get money. AND I LIKE MONEY! Y'all
better lissen to me on account of mah name is Jamie Knoble. I'm the Redneck
Messiah but that's not what I'm hankerin' to talk about. I got robbed cause last week Rey Misterio Jr.
got a shot at the World Cruiserweight Title before me. What in tarnation is
thet? I beat Misterio's ass at November
To Remember. Thet should've been mah shot but now Misterio's the champion, as
any fool can plainly see, I got screwed.
Misterio, I'm hankerin' a match with you so I can take the World
Cruiserweight Title. I will beat you
again, boy!" ["Psycho" by Madd One] The NGW World
Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio Jr. walked out of the entrance with a
microphone... MISTERIO: "Look
man, you've got a legit beef but man, you gotta calm down. I agree that you
should get a shot the title but Devon Storm has got his return match
first. It doesn't look you can wait so
how about we make it a Three Way Dance at Winter Wars? We gonna set it off, Knoble, but this gold,
it's going nowhere, BOY!" We returned from
break backstage where The Coach was standing by with the Dangerous Alliance... JARRETT:
"Randy Orton, it's just like an Orton to sneak attack someone. I hope you had fun last week because I know
you're buddy Goldust isn't having any fun right now. I suggest you put in a call to that freak so
he can get you a hospital bed right next to his. STEINER: "So
Booker T gets a shot at Rob Van Dam tonight?
It really doesn't make a difference to me whether it's Booker T or Rob
Van Dam because at Winter Wars, the World Championship is coming back where it
belongs. It's coming back to the big bad
booty daddy! When I get my hands on the
gold this time, I will have to retire as the World Champion cause no one will
ever beat me. Usually nothing is finer
then Scott Steiner but nothing is more dangerous then Big Poppa Pump and the
Dangerous Alliance with the World Championship in our hands." Paul Heyman was
seen whispering something to Eddy Guerrero in the background and Guerrero
smiled... (2) Jeff Jarrett v. Randy Orton
"Cowboy" by Kid Rock blared over the speakers as Paul Heyman
led out the Dangerous Alliance's Jeff Jarrett to the ring for action. Then, "Here To Stay" by KoRn blared
over the speakers as Randy Orton made his way out to the ring. Orton got the pin on Jarrett in a tag team
match last week but after it was over, Jarrett responded by Piledriving Orton's
tag team partner Goldust on the concrete floor.
Orton was out to avenge Goldust's injury here against the crafty veteran
Jarrett. The ending would see Orton go
for a suplex but Jarrett dropped him on the top rope with a front suplex. Jarrett went for a right but Orton ducked and
drove a shoulder into Jarrett's gut.
Orton came into the ring with a sunset flip for the one ... two ... THR
... NO! Jarrett went for a clothesline
but Orton ducked and hit a DDT for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! Orton headed up top but Heyman got up on the
apron. Konnan ran out and shoved Orton
off the top rope. Jarrett then spiked
Orton with the Piledriver for the one ... two ... THREE! The Chosen One steals the win over Randy
Orton. WINNER: Jeff Jarrett in 6:10. Rating: ** After the match,
Konnan slid back into the ring and jumped on Orton. Jarrett and Konnan took turns pounding away
on the rookie and making him pay for last week.
Jarrett spiked Orton with a second Piledriver! Konnan went to the outside and grabbed a
chair. Konnan told Jarrett to Piledrive
Orton on the chair! Jarrett setup Orton
but JOHN CENA hit the ring! Cena ducked
a shot from Konnan and clotheslined him out of the ring. Orton managed to backdrop Jarrett then Cena
hit a dropkick on Jarrett sending him to the outside. Jeff Jarrett was looking to send Orton to the
hospital but John Cena made sure that didn't happen... We headed
backstage to see Booker T arrive to the building. The Coach got some comments from Booker about
his World Championship match tonight... BOOKER T:
"Oh, dawg, I can just see it now.
Picture this ... Picture this ... Booker T with a Neckwrecker on Rob Van
Dam, the one, the two, and the three.
Wait for it ... Ladies and gentlemen, the winner and new World Champion
... BOOKER T! The crowd, they're on
their feet, they're ready to explode but the roof is about to come off. The roof is gonna blow off the Municipal
Auditorium when Booker T delivers the finest spinarooni that the world has ever
seen. A spinarooni so amazing that it
can only mean that Booker T is the World Champion. In all seriousness, Rob Van Dam, you're game
better be flawless cause Booker T's gonna be bringin' the heat like never
before, and there ain't no way you can stop the Booker man from taking that World
Championship. Now can you dig that? SUCKAAAAA!" (3) The Natural Ones v. Evolution v. Psicosis & Super
Crazzy "Natural
One" by Folk Implosion blared over the speakers as The Natural Ones' Mike
Modest and Donovan Morgan headed out.
"Intergalactic" by Beastie Boys brought Evolution out to the
ring. Then, "Loco" by Coal
Chamber blasted over the speakers as 'Nicho El Millionaro' Psicosis and 'The
Insane Luchadore' Super Crazzy made their way out. The winners of this Three Way Dance will get
a shot at the World Tag Team Champions at Winter Wars. The Dudley Boyz headed out during the match
to scout their competition. The first
elimination would see Morgan hit a fisherman buster on Nova for two but Jett
broke up the count. Morgan sent Nova
into the ropes but Nova leap frogged over.
Jett made a blind tag and came in with an Afterburner but hit Nova by
mistake. Morgan spun Jett around and
spiked him with the Suicide Drop for the one ... two ... THREE (4:32)! Evolution are out. Psicosis & Super Crazzy and The Natural
Ones battled out for a few more minutes.
The ending would see Modest hit a cobra clutch suplex on Psicosis then
tag in Morgan. Morgan went for a
moonsault but Psicosis rolled out of the way.
Psicosis made the tag to Crazzy.
Crazzy sent Morgan into the ropes and hit a spinning leg lariat. Modest came in but Crazzy sent him out of the
ring. Psicosis jumped onto Modest with a
plancha. Crazzy planted Morgan with the
Crazzy Bomb for the one ... two ... THREE!
Super Crazzy and Psicosis earn a shot at the World Tag Team Titles. WINNERS: Psicosis & Super Crazzy in 7:22. Rating: ** 1/2 The camera panned
up to the upper deck of the crowd to spot Vampiro seated amongst the fans, much
like he was last week... ["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust] Chris Jericho headed
out of the entrance along with Brock Lesnar.
Jericho took to the ring and grabbed a microphone... JERICHO:
"Let's get right down to the reason that a living legend like
myself, Chris Jericho, even has to come out here infront of you filth in the
first place. That reason is that Chris
Jericho lost not once but twice last week and that is unacceptable. I didn't lose because of anything I did, I
lost because of you (Lesnar). What the
hell is going on with you, Brock? It's
that Curt Hennig, isn't it? He's feeding
your head with crap. You don't listen to
Curt Hennig, you listen to Chris Jericho.
Or was it that you saw Kane break away from Raven? What happened to Kane? He lost to you. Maybe he wouldn't have lost if he handn't
been so STUPID. I hope you're not making
the same mistake, Brock. Maybe hanging
around a living legend like myself has gone to your head. Do you think you're some kind of big shot
now? That all the press you get is
because of you? NO! It's because of me! Without me ... YOU'RE NOTHING! You're nothing but a clueless
musclehead. You listen to that washed up
hasbeen Curt Hennig, you may as well kiss your career goodbye! You need to get your head in the game and
stop costing me matches! Are you hearing
me Brock? HUH? Do you understand what I'm saying you?" Brock Lesnar had
enough and grabbed Jericho, throwing him into the corner. Lesnar drove shoulders to the gut of Jericho,
wearing him out. Lesnar then lifted up
Jericho and planted him with the Terminator!
Lesnar then picked up the microphone... LESNAR: "I
heard you loud and clear but you're wrong.
YOU'RE NOTHING without ME!" Lesnar dropped
the microphone and walked out of the ring.
What has Chris Jericho done? (4) Chris Kanyon v. Tommy Dreamer
"Immune" by Godsmack blared over the speakers as The Flock's
Chris Kanyon made his way out to the ring.
Then, "Man In The Box" by Alice in Chains blared over the
speakers as 'The Innovator Of Violence' Tommy Dreamer headed out to the ring
for his official NGW debut. Apparently
at Raven's pressing, Kanyon challenged Dreamer to this match. Kanyon made the mistake of trying to brawl
with Dreamer early and paid for it as the match went on. The ending would see Kanyon go for a samoan
drop but Dreamer slipped out and hit a russian legsweep for two. Dreamer tied Kanyon to the tree of woe and
came in with a baseball slide dropkick.
Dreamer picked up Kanyon for the Spicolli Driver but Kanyon dropped out
and hit an inverted DDT for two. Kanyon
sent Dreamer into the ropes but put his head down and Dreamer hit a leaping
DDT. Dreamer then picked Kanyon back up
and hit the Spicolli Driver for the one ... two ... THREE! Tommy Dreamer looks good in his NGW debut. WINNER: Tommy Dreamer in 5:02. Rating: * 1/2 After the match,
The Flock hit the ring and went after Dreamer but Dreamer slipped out of the
ring and headed out through the crowd.
Dreamer's tough but he's not stupid.
Raven had a microphone in hand.
As Kanyon got up, Raven held his arms out in a crucifix then spiked
Kanyon with the Evenflow DDT... RAVEN:
"Kanyon, I've had all that I can take. I've given you more chances then you
deserve. You're incompetence will no
longer be tolerated and your spot in The Flock is gone. Kanyon, you're fired! Stevie Richards and Tommy Dreamer, you
couldn't get the job done five years ago, and your bloodshed and broken bodies
now will all be for nothing. Quote the
Raven, NEVERMORE!" We headed
backstage where Terri got some comments from the NGW World Championship, 'The
Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam... VAN DAM: "I'd
be a fool if I looked past Booker T here tonight but trust me, Terri, Rob Van
Dam is no fool. If I was a fool, would I
be everyone's favorite wrestler? If I
was a fool, would I be the World Champion?
Scott Steiner can run his mouth all he wants because he's scared. He's scared because he knows that he can't
match up to RVD. He knows he's going
down at Winter Wars. As for Booker T
tonight, I'm looking forward to this match.
I don't have to worry about getting hit with pipes in the back or Paul
Heyman blinding me with his hideous skullet.
It's just Booker T and RVD. But
Booker, seriously dude, you're dreaming if you think you're taking this World
Championship away from Rob Van Dam!" We then went to
The Coach who was standing by with 'The World's Most Dangerous Man' Ken
Shamrock before his shot at the U.S. Heavyweight Title. SHAMROCK:
"First, Chris Jericho can make excuses all he wants but the people
that matter, the fans that watched, they know what happened. They know he got beat. That was my first step here in NGW. My second step is the United States Heavyweight
Title. All I hear about is the
Tazmission, how it's the most dangerous submission in wrestling. Taz, I've forgotten more submissions then
you'll ever know." (5) Ken Shamrock v. Taz (c) - NGW United States
Heavyweight Title "I Will Be
Heard" by Hatebreed blasted over the speakers as the challenger, 'The
World's Most Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock headed out to the ring. Then, "WAR MACHINE" blasted over
the speakers as the NGW United States Heavyweight Champion, 'The Human Suplex
Machine' Taz walked out to the ring. Taz
escaped with his title intact last week when he got himself disqualified
against Kane. Taz was in tough again
against an opponent as tough, if not tougher then him. Much like Taz, Shamrock grew up on the
streets. Taz would go for a
belly-to-belly tazplex but Shamrock countered with a belly-to-belly suplex of
his own for two. Shamrock went for the
Ankle Lock but Taz kicked him off.
Shamrock tried to send Taz into the ropes but Taz blocked it and threw
Shamrock through the ropes. That's when
Kane walked down to the ring. Kane
stepped into the ring and grabbed Taz by the throat and hit a Choke Slam! The referee rang the bell to disqualify Ken
Shamrock before this even got going. WINNER: Taz via DQ in 2:56. Rating: DUD (Taz retained the NGW United States Heavyweight Title.) After the match,
Ken Shamrock got back in the ring and confronted Kane. Kane just walked out of the ring and headed
to the back. By extracing revenge on
Taz, Kane may have just made himself an enemy in Ken Shamrock... We cut to a shot
of Rob Van Dam finishing up his stretching then grabbing his World Championship. We then saw Booker T getting pumped up as he
walked out of his dressing room. The
Main Event is up next... (Main Event) Booker T v. Rob Van Dam (c) - NGW World
Championship "Can You Dig
It? SUCKA!" blared over the speakers as the challenger, Booker T headed
out to the ring. Booker earned this
title shot with a win over Chris Jericho last week. Then, "Walk" by Pantera blasted
over the speakers as 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam made his way out to the
ring. Booker and RVD circled then locked
up. Van Dam went around back but Booker
grabbed a side headlock. RVD shoved him
off into the ropes and Booker came off with a shoulderblock. Booker bounced off the ropes, RVD ducked
underneath then caught Booker with a monkey flip off the other side. Van Dam followed that up with a quick
frankensteiner. Booker backed off in the
corner while RVD pointed to himself.
They circled and locked up again, Booker kneed RVD then chopped
him. Booker sent RVD into the ropes and
ducked down but Van Dam fliped over then hit a spinning heel kick. Van Dam hit some forearms backing Booker into
the corner. RVD hit some shoulders to
the gut, backflipped and came in but Booker flipped over, rolling up Van Dam
for just a one count. Booker twisted the
arm and hit a back heel kick. Booker
followed that up with a spinebuster for two.
Booker T and Rob Van Dam battled it out hard in a real good match for
quite some time. Booker seemed to have
much of RVD's offense scouted and was able to counter it. The closing moments of the match would see
RVD hit some forearms, sent Booker into the corner and rolled in and hit a
monkey flip! Van Dam lept to the top and
connected with a flying kick for the one ... two ... THR ... NO! NO! RVD kicked him, drilled him with forearms. Van Dam went for a whip but Booker reversed
and kneed him in the gut. Booker went
for the Axe Kick but Van Dam side stepped it and hit an enziguri! Van Dam bounced off the ropes and went for a
clothesline but Booker ducked and went for a side kick but Van Dam countered
with a legsweep. Van Dam bounced off the
ropes and Rolling Thunder! No! Booker rolled out of the way! SPINAROONI!
Booker went for the Harlem Sidekick but Van Dam ducked, bounced off the
ropes and both men collided in mid-air! With both men down and out Scott
Steiner made his way out. Steiner got up
on the apron but the referee tried to stop him from getting involved. Eddy Guerrero came out of the crowd and went
to the top. Who's he gonna hit? Guerrero with the Frog Splash on ... Booker
T! Guerrero rolls out of the ring and
Steiner heads up the ramp. Van Dam gets
to his feet and sees Steiner and Guerrero.
Van Dam was confused but jumped to the top and came off with the Five
Star Frog Splash on Booker T for the one ... two ... THREE! Rob Van Dam retains the NGW World
Championship! WINNER: Rob Van Dam in 15:46. Rating: *** (Rob Van Dam retained the NGW World Championship.) After the match,
Scott Steiner stood at the top of the aisle and motioned to his waist as if to
say he'll be the one to take the World Championship from Rob Van Dam... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -The beat down of Kanyon by The Flock has fueled internet
speculation that Kanyon is leaving NGW.
While it is true that Chris Kanyon's contract expired some time ago, the
word going around is that Kanyon has come to terms on a new deal with NGW. -NGW RAGE taping results for Saturday, November 23rd,
2002: Taka Michinoku pinned Yang with the Michinoku Driver in
7:42. Rating: ** Rey Misterio Jr. pinned Essa Rios with the Springboard
Hurricanrana in 10:08. Rating: ** (Rey Misterio Jr. retained the NGW World Cruiserweight
Title.) The Dudley Boyz defeated The Flock (Saturn and Scott
Vick) when Buh Buh pinned Vick with the Buh Buh Bomb in 6:08. Rating: ** (The Dudley Boyz retained the NGW World Tag Team Titles.) -Raven wandered
out to ringside during the match to watch The Flock in action. His presence was enough to distract The
Dudley Boyz. However, Tommy Dreamer came
out and started brawling with Raven.
Saturn diverted his attention from the match to go help Raven which left
Vick all alone. -NGW has Winter Wars on December 8th, 2002 from the Key
Arena in Seattle, WA. The tentative
line-up includes; NGW World Championship Match-: Rob Van Dam (c) v. Scott Steiner NGW World Tag Team Titles Match-: The Dudley Boyz (c) v. Psicosis & Super Crazzy NGW World Cruiserweight Title Match-: Rey Misterio Jr. (c) v. Jamie Knoble v. Devon Storm More Matches TBA |
