Hello fans. Welcome back to our latest news update. Well, we have seen that Negronomicon is way in over his head in regards to running the NWWA. During the last glimpse we got of his office, we saw his desk was overflowing with past-due notices. It appears that N had not been able to pay off the arenas that he’s been booking in full and now even fewer arenas are willing to let him book there. N had hoped that by cutting payroll (as some stupid-ass computer companies have been doing lately) that he could cut back on expenses but that has not been happening. In fact, he’s actually losing money since fewer people are coming to see the shows. Negronomicon was informed by CSWA owner Jeff Meyers and GM William Regal that his wrestlers will no longer be able to wrestle on CSWA shows. This means that NWWA must host (and pay for) their own venues. This is not a good sign. The NWWA roster keeps shrinking and this is not helping the situation. While in his office, the Negronomicon was visited by John Cena. Cena asked why he wasn’t getting any ring time. N replied “You lost your world title match against Jarrett. You think you can just walk in here and demand a match? I should just fire you for being such an idiot.” Cena replied “No, no, no. You can’t fire me. You only have 3 world championship caliber wrestlers left….me, Christian and Steiner. You get rid of me, you’ll have nothing. What do you expect to keep doing? Having Christian vs. Steiner matches for the rest of the year? Give me a break. I’ll tell you what though. I don’t need a championship match…yet. Give me a shot as Scott Steiner. If I win, I take his place in the US title contention. If I lose, hell, give Steiner a world title shot against Christian. What’s there to lose? I’ll put asses in seats and you may actually get caught up on some of those bills.” Negronomicon was ticked (that he didn’t think of this sooner). “Fine, you and Steiner have a match. If you win, you get a shot at Carlito’s belt. If you lose, well, I’d hate to see you relegated to sweeping and mopping up floors…if you get my drift. Now get the hell out of my office.” Cena left.
The NWWA card has a few matches scheduled. The NWWA tag champs Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin have to defend the titles against the Bruiser and Tommy Dreamer. This match was up first.
Shelton started off the match against the Bruiser. Bruiser never had a chance. Shelton and Charlie double-teamed him for 5 minutes sneaking in a pin where they could. Finally around the 8 minute mark, the Bruiser got in his second offensive move of the night and made the tag to Dreamer. Dreamer came in only to be met with double-teaming by the champs also. Dreamer was beat from pillar to post and he was only able to get a single offensive move in. Finally, and mercifully, Shelton hit a huge power clothesline on Dreamer and made the cover. Haas knocked the Bruiser off the ring and the ref counted 1-2-3. The World’s Greatest Tag Team is victorious.
The next match for the night is Golddust taking on Mike Knox to deterimine who will get a shot at the North American title. Knox starts off the match with a power clothesline on Goldy. Golddust hits the Shattered Dreams on Knox but he gets right up and hits another huge clothesline. A blatant choke from Knox is met with a grinding headlock from Golddust. Another choke by Knox and a pin attempt but G kickes out. A headlock from Golddust is met with a power clothesline by Mike and a pin attempt but G kicks out at 1. Golddust manages to ram Knox into the ringpost giving him a chance to catch his breath. Golddust goes to the ropes but misses but Knox doesn’t. Mike hits a huge powerbomb and goes for the pin but somehow Goldy manages to kick out. Unbelievable. Golddust starts to battle back hitting a double fist to the jaw a couple of times, a headbutt and a piledriver. Knox somehow hits a powerbomb but can only get a 2 count. Knox hits another powerbomb and Golddust kicks out of that one too. Golddust hits the Shattered Dreams and Knox hits a powerslam but Golddust, ever the ring veteran, puts his foot on the ropes to break the count. Golddust hits the Golden Slam and then tosses Knox into the ringpost again. The bell rings signifying the end of the match as a time limit draw. Neither man get a shot.
The next match is Jay Lethal taking on the Hurricane for a shot at the X-Division title. Just as the bell rings, Hurricane starts to choke Lethal out with his cape. Hurricane goes to the ropes and does nothing but Lethal hits him with the ringside bell twice. I guess he didn’t like getting choked out at the beginning of the match. A neckbreaker from the Hurricane is met with an axe handle smash. Lethal goes for the pin but barely gets a 2 count. Lethal goes to the top rope and hits another axe handle smash. He goes for the pin and almost gets the three. A headlock from Lethal is met by the Nightmare on Helms Street. Both men are down (rest period). Lethal is up first, goes to the top rope and nails the Flying Elbow. He goes for the pin…1….2…desperation kickout by the Hurricane. Hurricane appears to be out on his feet. Lethal connects with a back suplex and makes the cover. 1…..2…..3. Jay Lethal is the winner and will get the next shot at Santino’s belt.
Since there was no winner between Golddust and Mike Knox, another contention match was held. This one has Matt Hardy taking on Fit Finley. The match begins with Hardy kicking Finley in the gut. Finley went for a kick of his own but was reversed by Matt and he delivered another kick to Finley’s gut. An eye rake by Finley is met with a standing suplex by Matt. A kick to the gut by Finley is met with the Twist of Fate by Hardy. Matt make the cover and gets the 1-2-3. Matt Hardy now gets a shot at Chris Masters’ North American title.
John Cena vs. Scott Steiner was next. Steiner starts off with a belly to belly suplex but Cena locks in a reverse chinlock. Cena went for and missed a knuckle jam and Steiner hit him with a standing suplex. A stomp to the gut by Cena is met with a side suplex from Steiner. Cena then tosses Steiner out of the ring but he is back in at 7. At this point, the Negronomicon comes out and stands at the top of the ramp. Steiner, taking advantage of the distraction, tosses Cena to the outside where he is thrown into the ringside steps. Steiner remains outside the ring to make sure Cena doesn’t make it back in. He rolls back in just as the ref counts to 10 and Steiner wins the match by countout. Scott Steiner now gets a shot at Christian’s belt.
With the IC spot now vacated, a match between John Morrison and Chris Daniels is set up to see who will take that spot. The match started off pretty even with Daniels keeping up with Morrison. About the 5 minute mark, Morrison turned up the heat and Daniels just couldn’t keep up. Morrison went for many pin attempts but somehow Daniels kept kicking out. Finally, in the final minute of the match, Morrison went for a turnaround sidekick but Daniels got out of the way just as the bell rang signifying a time limit draw. Even though Morrison was way ahead on points, he does not get a shot at the IC belt.
The Negronomicon still was not happy even though Steiner got win over Cena but he still wanted to see Cena punished for talking back to him. Negronomicon knows that he no longer can fire people at whim. If he does not want to go bankrupt in the next 30 days, he knows he needs Cena on his staff. He determines that he can punish him though by making him wrestle a second time tonight. This time, his opponent will be Kane and the winner will get a shot at the IC title.
Kane is already at ringside and out comes Cena to a huge pop. Cena gets in the ring as the bell sounds and tosses Kane out. Kane is really frustrated and almost gets counted out but he makes in back in at 9. Cena goes for a suplex but it is reversed by Kane who then tosses Cena to the ropes and attempts to bodyblock him but Cena does not go down. Kane looks concerned. An eye rake from Kane just gets him tossed out of the ring again. Kane makes it back in at 8. Cena turns to rap with the crowd and as soon as he turns around, Kane hits a chokeslam. Cena rolls out of the ring so there is no pin attempt. Cena is back in and gets scooped slammed but he just tosses Kane out of the ring again. As soon as Kane gets back in the ring, Cena grabs him and hurls him over the top rope. He follows Kane out and slams him against the ringside barrier. He rolls back in just as the ref counts to 10 and wins the match by countout. John Cena wins a shot at Carlito’s IC title.
So we now have 4 matches from the NWWA for their next PPV. Lethal will take on Santino, Matt Hardy takes on Chris Masters, John Cena takes on Carlito and Scott Steiner takes on Christian. Stay tuned for the updates from the CSWA.
