"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; Vampiro, Tommy Dreamer, Randy Orton, The Dudley
Boyz, John Cena, Taz, Jeff Jarrett, Raven, Kane, Eddy Guerrero, Chris Jericho,
Brock Lesnar, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Rob Van Dam and more. This is New Generation Wrestling and this is
RING WARS... Inside the Gund
Arena, Joey Styles and Diamond Dallas Page, welcomed everyone to the show. We've got a jam-packed night of action
tonight as 'THE CHOSEN ONE' JEFF JARRETT goes one-on-one with 'THE PROTOTYPE'
JOHN CENA ... 'THE WORLD'S MOST DANGEROUS MAN' KEN SHAMROCK will battle 'THE
BIG RED MACHINE' KANE for a shot at TAZ ... TOMMY DREAMER will get his hands on
RAVEN but it will be in a tag team match as Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards
face off against Raven and Saturn... ['DANGER! DANGER'] The Dangerous
Alliance headed out to the ring in full force to kick off tonight's show. Paul Heyman took the microphone... HEYMAN: "I've
just come from speaking with our fearless Commissioner Shawn Michaels in
regards to the Dangerous Alliance's involvement in the Winter Wars
Pay-Per-View. We already know that Big
Poppa Pump will be taking the World Championship from Rob Van Dam. I have one more punishment to hand out and
that punishment is to the two young rookies, John Cena and Randy Orton. Cena and Orton, you saw what we did to
Goldust but you're young, dumb, and full of ... fun. Just like a child, you've made a mistake by
getting involved with the Dangerous Alliance so at Winter Wars you two are
going to team up against 'The Chosen One' Jeff Jarrett and Konnan." JARRETT: "As
far as I'm concerned, Randy Orton, you can't lace my damn boots, your father
wasn't fit enough to lace my boots and you're grandfather? Well I'll spare him because he doesn't have
much time left. Now John Cena, we may
have a tag team match in thirteen days but tonight you're going one on one with
The Chosen One. Don't think I've
forgotten about a few weeks ago when you got lucky and beat me. Justice will be served tonight and Jeff
Jarrett will beat your rookie ass. Now
choke on that, slapnuts." ['Can You Dig It? SUCKA!'] Booker T stepped
out of the entrance to a big reaction.
Booker had a microphone in hand... BOOKER:
"Usually I'd come out here and cut you suckas off because I didn't
wanna hear your voices no more. That
ain't the case tonight cause Scott Steiner or Eddy Guerrero, one of ya's betta
start explainin' just where in the hell you think you get off ruining my shot
at the World Championship?" GUERRERO:
"Chill out, holmes ... Cool your jets, ese. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong
time ... It's real simple, homey, Scott Steiner here, el mal papá grande del
booty, wants to to take Rob Van Dam and break him into a million pieces because
it, hehe, it was RVD that stole the World Championship." BOOKER: "That
still didn't give you any right to get up in my business so I'm gonna keep
making you my business. Whether it's you
Guerrero or you Steiner, one of you as got to be bad enough to step in that
ring with the Booker man." GUERRERO:
"You know what? I don't like
the way you're talking to me, holmes ... I don't like that tone in your voice,
ese so I'm gonna grant you your wish.
I'm gonna take you on at Winter Wars, ese and voy a tomarle hacia
fuera! I AM GONNA TAKE YOU OUT!" BOOKER: "I'll
take it ... I'll take it but what about you Steiner? You call yourself Big Poppa Pump, the big bad
booty daddy, are you bad enough to get some of Booker T?" STEINER: "You
don't want me, Booker T, you don't want the largest arms in the world sending
you to a hospital." BOOKER:
"Funny, I seem to remember the last time me and you hooked it up,
dawg, you were flat on your bizack for the one-two-three. So either you gimme some tonight or I'll find
a way to get some anyways. Can you dig
it?" STEINER: "Me
and you tonight? You're on Booker but I
just gotta say first to Eddy Guerrero, I'm sorry, man. I'm real sorry because there won't be
anything left of Booker T for you at Winter Wars." Booker T's music
hit as he nodded and walked to the back.
The Dangerous Alliance conversed in the ring and we were about to a
break when Booker T walked back out, signalled to cut the music and ...
"SUCKAAAAAAAAAAA!" Booker then
left for good as we headed to our first commercial break... (1) Super Crazzy v. D-Von Dudley "Roadhouse
Blues Remix" blared over the speakers as 'The Insane Luchadore' Super
Crazzy made his way out to the ring. We
cut to a shot in the crowd to see Vampiro taking a seat in nosebleeds
again. Then, "Turn The Tables"
by Saliva blared over the speakers as one half of the World Tag Team Champions,
D-Von Dudley headed out. The Dudley Boyz
will defend against Super Crazzy and Psicosis at Winter Wars. During the match, Raven wandered out to
ringside with a microphone... RAVEN:
"Vampiro! Vampiro ... I know
you can hear my voice so please just listen to me. I feel your pain, Vampiro. You're thinking that this has been your life,
and it's been as good as its ever going to be.
Vampiro, you are not useless, you do not have to give up. Your life, it can get better. You can be reborn if you come with me. If you come with the Flock. Fate has brought you to this crossroad but
you can come with the Flock, come with me and Vampiro, I will set you
free. COME WITH ME, VAMPIRO! COME ON!
COME ON, VAMPIRO! Damnit!" Raven dropped the
microphone and stormed to the back as Vampiro just shook his head. D-Von Dudley turned his attention away from
Super Crazzy and Crazzy hit an inverted swinging DDT! Crazzy followed that up with the Trifecta
Moonsaults for the one ... two ... THREE!
Super Crazzy scores what can be clasified as an upset of sorts over
D-Von. WINNER: Super Crazzy in 5:11. Rating: ** 3/4 We headed to the
arena entrance to see the NGW World Champion, 'The Whole F'n Show' Rob Van Dam
arriving to the arena. The Coach
approached Van Dam for some comments... VAN DAM:
"Scott Steiner's making a mistake if he thinks that he's doing himself
a favor by making sure that Rob Van Dam is the World Champion come Winter
Wars. You're not unbeatable, you're not
invincible, you're not Rob Van Dam and you're not going to be the World
Champion at Winter Wars. What I wanna
know is after I beat Steiner this time, is he gonna leave again? The closed caption guys need another break
from trying to figure out what the hell comes out of your mouth every
week..." (2) Ken Shamrock v. Kane - #1 Contenders Match (U.S.
Title) "I Will Be
Heard" by Hatebreed blasted over the speakers as 'The World's Most
Dangerous Man' Ken Shamrock headed out to the ring. Then, "Slow Chemical" by Finger
Eleven blared over the speakers as 'The Big Red Machine' Kane made his way
out. The winner of this match will get a
shot at Taz's United States Heavyweight Title at Winter Wars. This was a clash of styles which ended up
being mainly a brawl. The ending would
see Kane go for a running powerslam but Shamrock dropped down the back. Shamrock tried to send Kane into the ropes
but Kane reversed it. Shamrock went for
a hurricanrana but Kane power bombed Shamrock down for the one ... two ... THR
... NO! Kane grabbed Shamrock and picked
him up for the Choke Slam but Shamrock rolled Kane into a cross armbreaker in
an amazing counter! Kane was in the
ropes so Shamrock let go, pulled Kane to the middle of the ring and locked him
in the Ankle Lock! That was when Taz hit
the ring and grabbed Shamrock in the Tazmission! Taz squeezed Shamrock until his oxygen was
gone and Taz threw him down to the mat.
The referee rang the bell DQ'ing Kane which means Shamrock gets the
shot. Taz nodded his head in approval... WINNER: Ken Shamrock via DQ in 5:12. Rating: * After the match,
Taz trash talked the out cold Shamrock until Kane spun Taz around, grabbed him
by the throat and Choke Slam'ed Taz.
Kane walked out of the ring as he went to a break... We returned to
the ring from a break... ["Break The Walls Down" by Sevendust] Chris Jericho
emerged from the entrance and walked down towards the ring, taunting fans as
usual. Jericho took a microphone... JERICHO: "I
hear you snickering, I hear you cheering BRAAAWWWKK Leeesssnar for giving me a
Terminator last week. Well if you people
think that Brock Lesnar stands a chance of being somebody without me, without
Chris Jericho controlling his every move then you will be sadly mistaken. Brock Lesnar, you made your choice last week
... You could have been LARGER THAN LIFE but instead, you're going to be
nothing more then a could have, should have, would have if you didn't turn your
back on the man who brought you to the dance.
Brock, I brought you here, I showed you the ropes, I told you everything
that you know but Brock ... I didn't tell you everything that I know. I didn't teach what it means to be a living
legend, no, because you didn't give me a chance. I made you into the monster that you are and
I'll be the one to take you down at Winter Wars. I won't only take you down, Brock, but I will
make you wish that you never EVER laid your hands on Chris Jericho. Brock, you're big, you're strong but you're
no different then all of these people ... You're stupid. Too stupid to beat Chris Jericho." Brock Lesnar had
come through the crowd and was now standing in the ring behind Chris Jericho. JERICHO: "Too
stupid to realize that you've thrown a promising career away. TOO STUPID TO KNOW..." Lesnar tapped on
Jericho's shoulder, Jericho turned around and almost had a heart attack. Lesnar pulled the microphone from Jericho... LESNAR: "I'm
guess I'm also too stupid to know when to stop beating your ass in two
weeks. I'll just be beating you and
beating you and beating you while you're screaming for mercy but since I'm so
stupid, I won't stop. So Chris Jericho
... any last words?" JERICHO:
"Last words? You'll never
shut me up because all of these people hang on my every word. I am the biggest thing this business has ever
or will ever see. No one ... Not you,
not anyone can matchup to Chris Jericho and that is why I am LARGER THAN LIFE
... Why I am a LIVING LEGEND ... Why I am better then each and everyone of you
... And why I am the man that will break Brock Lesnar down and make you
TAP!" Lesnar picked up
Jericho and drove him into the corner hard.
Lesnar then lifted up Jericho for the Terminator but Jericho dropped
down and low blowed Lesnar! Jericho
rolled out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. Jericho came in and swung but Lesnar grabbed
the steel chair and threw it hard into the mat.
Jericho high tailed it out of the ring and backed up the ramp not
wanting any of Brock Lesnar... (3) Jamie Knoble & James Maritado v. Devon Storm
& Taka Michinoku v. Rey Misterio Jr. & Red "A Country
Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr blared over the speakers as 'The
Redneck Messiah' Jamie Knoble and James Maritado headed out. "Terrible Lie" by Nine Inch Nails
as 'Dangerous' Devon Storm and Taka Michinoku made his way out. Then, "Psycho" by Madd One blared
over the speakers as the NGW World Cruiserweight Champion, Rey Misterio Jr. and
'The Amazing' Red headed out. Rey
Misterio Jr will defend the World Cruiserweight Title against Jamie Knoble and
Devon Storm in a Three Way Dance at Winter Wars. The first elimination would see Storm go for
the Mind Bender on Maritado but Maritado reached out and made the tag to Jamie
Knoble. Knoble pulled Storm in and
planted him with the Tiger Driver for the one ... two ... THREE (7:12)! It was now down to Rey & Red against
Knoble and Maritado. The ending would see
Maritado go to the top but Misterio countered and caught him with a super
bulldog. Rey tagged in Red, who hit the
Red Star Press on Maritado for the one ... two ... THREE! Rey and Red celebrated but Knoble decked Rey
from behind then left the ring... WINNERS: Rey Misterio Jr. & Red in 11:30. Rating: *** 1/2 We headed
backstage where The Coach got some comments from 'The Prototype' John Cena
before his match with Jeff Jarrett... CENA: "Jeff
Jarrett and the Dangerous Alliance ... You talk, talk and then talk some more
about how I'm just a rookie. You talk
about how Randy Orton is just a rookie.
So us rookies, it looks we've gotta stick together because some of the
so called established stars around here are SHAKING IN THEIR BOOTS! Step aside, Jarrett, the future has
arrived." (4) Jeff Jarrett v. John Cena
"Cowboy" by Kid Rock blared over the speakers as 'The Chosen
One' Jeff Jarrett headed out to the ring.
Then, "More Human Than Human (NIN Remix)" by Nine Inch Nails
blasted over the speakers as 'The Prototype' John Cena made his way out. Jeff Jarrett and Konnan will team up against
Cena and Randy Orton at Winter Wars.
Jarrett and Cena faced off shortly after Cena debuted with Cena getting
what was a surprise win at the time but Cena's established himself since then
so a win would no longer be a surprise.
The ending would see Cena catch Jarrett with a spinebuster for the one
... two ... THR ... NO! Jarrett backed
into the corner, Cena splashed him. Cena
climbed up and punched away on Jarrett but Jarrett stepped out with a
hotshot. Jarrett covered for the one ...
two ... NO! Jarrett left the ring and
went underneath the ring. Jarrett pulled
out his guitar and held it up in the air but Randy Orton ran down and yanked
the chair away from Jarrett. Konnan came
out and nailed Orton from behind.
Jarrett stepped back in the ring, laughing at Orton. Jarrett turned around and Cena caught him
with the Proto-Bomb for the one ... two ... THREE! John Cena takes the win! WINNER: John Cena in 5:23. Rating: ** After the match,
Konnan hit the ring and jumped Cena from behind until Randy Orton came back in
to run him off. The rookies have gotten
the better of the Dangerous Alliance tonight... We headed back to
the locker room where Tommy Dreamer and Stevie Richards were shown getting
ready for their upcoming tag team match... STEVIE: "That
was great last week, Tommy, with Kanyon gone that's one less guy that stands
between us and Raven. His days really
are numbered." DREAMER:
"Just watch your back tonight, Stevie, I'm sure that Sick Scott
Vick will be lurking around somewhere.
Let's do every wrestler in this locker room, every NGW fan watching a
favor, let's not stop until we run Raven out of town." STEVIE: "It
won't be easy but nobody has a better shot of getting it done then us." Tommy Dreamer and
Stevie Richards punched fists then exited their dressing room... (5) Raven & Saturn v. Tommy Dreamer & Stevie
Richards "Come Out
And Play" by Offspring blared over the speakers but Saturn was the only
one that came out to the ring. Saturn
took the microphone and said that Raven had 'taken ill' and gone to the
hospital so Saturn was going to defend The Flock's 'freedom of expression'
against Dreamer and Richards on his own.
Then, "Man In The Box" by Alice In Chains blared over the
speakers as 'The Innovator Of Violence' Tommy Dramer and Stevie Richards headed
out. Neither looked too impressed or
surprised by Raven's cop-out. Saturn
held his own early but the two on one advantage was just too much for him to
take. Dreamer and Richards seemed to be
sending a message through Saturn but its doubtful that Raven really gives a
damn about Saturn. The ending would see
Dreamer go for a big flying splash on Saturn but Saturn moved. Dreamer made the tag to Stevie then rolled
out of the ring in pain. Stevie caught
Saturn with a Stevie Kick sending Saturn out to the floor. Scott Vick ran out into the ring but Stevie
side stepped him and hurled Vick over the top.
Out of nowhere, Raven slipped into the ring and spiked Stevie with the
Evenflow DDT for the one ... two ... THREE!
That damn Raven! WINNERS: Raven & Saturn in 6:12. Rating: ** After the match,
Tommy Dreamer came back in and started hammering on Raven with rights. Scott Vick grabbed a chair, came in and
drilled Dreamer in the back. Raven set
up the chair and started picking up Dreamer but VAMPIRO came through the crowd! Vampiro cleared the ring of Vick and Saturn
then went after Raven but Raven ducked out of the ring. Vampiro helped up Dreamer then no! Vampiro Spike on Dreamer! Raven smiled as Vampiro walked out of the
ring and too the back with The Flock... (Main Event) Scott Steiner v. Booker T "I Need A
Freak" by Too $hort blared over the speakers as Trish Stratus led out 'Big
Poppa Pump' Scott Steiner, as well as Paul Heyman. Then, "Can You Dig It? SUCKA!"
sounded as Booker T headed out to the ring.
Scott Steiner has his shot at the NGW World Championship in thirteen
days at Winter Wars but last week he helped screw over Booker T when Booker was
challenging Rob Van Dam for the title.
Steiner claims he did it because he wants to beat RVD for the title
because RVD was the one who took it from him.
However, he crossed Booker T in the process and hand more then his hands
full with Booker T tonight. When Booker
could keep the match quick, he was well in control as Steiner couldn't keep up
with him. When Steiner slowed the match
down, he could out power and out brawl Booker so it was a fairly back and forth
match. During the match, Rob Van Dam
walked out onto the stage and began watching the match. The closing moments of the match would see
Steiner go for a Steinerline but Booker ducked, kicked Steiner and hit an Axe
Kick! Booker covered for the one ... two
... THR ... NO! Booker sent to send
Steiner into the ropes, Steiner reversed and Booker came off with a spinning
forearm shot! SPINAROONI! Booker went for a Harlem Sidekick, Steiner
ducked and went for a Steinerline but Booker ducked and Steiner connected with
the referee. Booker then planted Steiner
with the Neckwrecker! Trish got up on
the apron but Booker grabbed her by the hair.
Heyman came up but Booker grabbed him and bashed their heads
together. All of a sudden, up on the ramp,
Eddy Guerrero nailed Rob Van Dam from behind!
Guerrero grabbed the World Championship belt and ran into the ring. Booker turned around and Guerrero blasted him
in the skull with the belt! Steiner
trapped Booker in the Steiner Recliner ... the referee crawled over, checked
the arm and Booker T was out! WINNER: Scott Steiner in 11:39. Rating: ** 1/2 Afterwards, Scott
Steiner raised his arm in the air.
Guerrero came back in and passed him the World Championship. Steiner held it in his hands while Rob Van
Dam got back to his feet. RVD started
heading down towards the ring. Guerrero
dove out with a plancha but RVD moved!
Van Dam slid into the ring and Steiner dropped the belt between
them! RVD drilled Steiner with a forearm
then sent him into the ropes but Guerrero tripped up Steiner and pulled him out
of the ring, 'holding' Steiner back as the show came to a close... ==-==-==-==-==-==-== NGW News & Notes-: ==-==-==-==-==-==-== -NGW RAGE taping results for Saturday, November 30th, 2002: Simon Diamond and Swinger defeated Essa Rios and La Parka
when Diamond pinned Parka with the Simonizer in 5:23. Rating: ** 'The Human Suplex
Machine' Taz came out to the ring and said that at Winter Wars he's going to
make the so called World's Most Dangerous Man just anotha victim but tonight,
he's sending out an open challenge.
He'll put the U.S. Heavyweight Title on the line against anyone that
wants to get choked out. The challenge
was answered by one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, Buh Buh Ray
Dudley. Buh Buh said he may not know
submissions but he'll beat Taz into submission. Low Ki' pinned Trent Acid with the Ki-Krusher in 7:32. Rating: ** 1/2 The Natural Ones defeated Evolution when M. Modest pinned
