NAWA glory 2-28-02:
Black and white flashback footage to last week is shown. The miscue of Scott Steiner and Jarrett kabonging him with the guitar. We then see Scott Steiner vs. Jeff Jarrett graphic for Rage in the Cage.
The cho-cho-chosen one is heard followed by “Cowboy” by Kid Rock. Out comes Jeff Jarrett, the NAWA world champion. We just saw what happened between him and Scott Steiner last week. Tonight Jeff Jarrett will face Sting and Shane Douglas in our feature bout. Jarrett has the microphone and he will speak.
Jeff Jarrett: You may all think what happened last week was a mistake. Well it was not and shall not be considered a mistake. I meant that guitar shot and Scott Steiner screwed up after I warned him not too. Well you know what. I wasn’t ever going to pass that title onto him. I was using him as a puppet to get what I want. I promised him but it was an empty promise. Because All I wanted was this (points to the NAWA world title). I used him to win the battle royal. I used him to beat Shane Douglas at the last PPV. I would have used him again accept he has outlived his usefulness. He is an old washed up puppet that I will throw in the trash because I have no use for it. Steiner, At Truth or Consequences you will get you title shot. Will you leave in one piece? Well I will dissemble you and rip you apart like the old, washed up puppet that you are.
Jarrett pauses while he soaks in the boos.
Jarrett: The Steiners have never been too bright. It is laughable that Vincent K. McMahon would want anything to do with the washed up roided up piece of trash that is Scott Steiner. Don’t insult your intelligence Steiner. Its not like I ever liked you. It’s just that you were too stupid to realize that I used you. So at the PPV I will dismantle you piece by piece. Now why don’t you choke on that…Slapnuts.
Jarrett goes to leave but “Bodies” by Drowning Pool plays and out comes Scott Steiner. Steiner has a microphone. Oh great, open the pocketbook.
Steiner: Listen Jarrett. You are a mother fucking asshole. You are cunning but you are one of the lowest men ever. That last week was a mistake. I think if you can’t handle to hold a wrestler right for the weapon shot then it was you who fucked up. A listen you me you little bastard. When I fight you at Truth or Consequences I will squeeze you so hard in the Steiner Recliner that your little eyeballs will pop out.
Jarrett: You talk the talk Steiner. You may not be able to walk the walk. You may look impressive with big muscles but when it comes to catch as catch can wrestling you don’t know anything. I will outwrestle you at the PPV and that is final slapass.
Steiner: Jeffery, Jeffery, Jeffery. I am a former amateur wrestler. Don’t forget it. I can revert back to that when I want to.
Jarrett: Big deal. You suck Steiner. Those steroids must be affecting your brain if you think you can spend more than 10 minutes in the ring with me. You are in denial Steiner.
Steiner: Listen here fucker. We don’t have to wait to Truth or Consequences. Lets do it right now you son of a bitch.
Jarrett: I will not kick your ass tonight Steiner. I will however since I have a three-way dance hook you up with a certain tag team for a tune up handicap match.
Steiner: Are you a pussy Jarrett. Fine. I will kick your ass at Truth or Consequences if you make it through tonight, slapnuts.
Jarrett is beside himself.
Jarrett: You are pushing it Steiner.
Steiner: and that’s J E Double F J A Double R E Double T. That Double J Jeff Jarrett. Ha Ha Ha.
Jarrett is throwing a fit in the ring.
Steiner: See you at the PPV Jarrett.
Jarrett: Fine Steiner. You want to mock me. We shall see how funny it is when I dismantle your ass at Truth or Consequences. So why don’t you choke on that, slapnuts.
Steiner: Oh I won’t choke on anything. But if you make it the PPV with the belt you will choke on my two fists beating a hole through your head.
“Bodies” replay and Steiner leaves to a mixed reaction. This is basically Heel vs. Heel up until that opening promo for Jarrett. Lets remember that Shane Douglas was booed when he first entered the NAWA only to turn face with a feud with The Chosen One. Could Steiner be going through the same thing? But now we go to a…

Next up is for the NAWA jobber title. A unique match in its own right for a unique title. We see a pole hooked to one of the ringpost. On the post there is a hotdog. Just recently cooked. The rules of this match are simple. This is no-holds-barred. You can win by pinfall, submission, or, if you believe this, eating the hotdog. There is a picnic table at ringside with mustard, ketchup, and hot dog buns. There is also a cooler of beer.
“Loser” by Beck plays and out comes the challenger Bull Pain. Some of the crowd has decided to take a bathroom break for this match.
“Loser” by Beck plays again and out comes the NAWA jobber champion the Gambler. That cardboard belt with NAWA jobber champion written on it, two nickels on both sides, and velcro fastening it.
NAWA Jobber Title Hotdog on a Pole Match Bull Pain vs. The Gambler © The Bell rings. Both men lock up and they trade weak punches. Gambler whips Bull Pain in.

Gambler then throws Bull Pain back into the ring. Gambler then grabs the hotdog. What is he going to do, eat it? No Gambler is perched on the top waiting for Bull Pain. Gambler dives off as Pain turns around and HITS HIM WITH THE HOTDOG. Bull Pain sells this ridiculous move, God bless his soul. Gambler then goes for the cover. One, Two, Three. The Gambler retains the NAWA Jobber Title.
Hotdog on a Pole Match: The Gambler pinned Bull Pain after hitting him with the hotdog in 0:02:11. Rating: -* 3/4 (The Gambler retained the NAWA Jobber Title.)
Bull Pain sold a weapon shot so ridiculous that a three year old would laugh at him going down by that. Gambler sits on the buckle in a token of victory and takes the mustard. Gambler squirts the mustard straight into his mouth. Gambler then takes the ketchup and does the same thing. Gambler then grabs a beer and downs it to finish his victory celebration. Lets go backstage.
We see The Curry Man mask held up in mid-air. We then see that Lenny Lane is lying on the couch with wrestling boots on and a towel strategically placed.
Lenny: Aw Yes. Christopher Daniels. Curry Man. Whatever you want to call him he is an unfortunate victim of circumstance. You see he has what a want. The NAWA cruiserweight title belt is the thing that I desire most of all. That belt should be mine and mine alone but I wasn’t invited for the title match to determine the first champion. That is of no fault of mine. That was the executive committee’s bumbling. Christopher, at Truth or Consequences it will be the hard truth for you. The truth will be erected in stone at the PPV. It will take a cold shower after the PPV to realize that all your dreams were not to be. After I lay on top of you for three seconds at the PPV, your dreams have all come true. If and when I get off of you after that three seconds are up, your dreams will be shattered. Christopher, I heard you don’t like my concrete blowpops. Well maybe if you’re lucky I will let you give me a concrete blow…
As that word is said the screen turns to snow. Then a blue screen appears and these words come.
The following that was said after the cutoff point was too offensive for TV and is something that could get the NAWA into a lot of legal trouble with some certain television watchdog organizations. Thank you.

Backstage:
The Enforcers are conversing with Van Hammer.
C.W. Anderson: So Hammer, the plan is for you not only to destroy Brad Armstrong tonight but end his career. You will get a fat payoff for doing this.
Swinger: Yeah, we are busy with other things. That idiot Commissioner Steamboat booked C.W. in a match with Brian Lee tonight. Simon and I have to defend the titles against some tough competition that we picked so we are out.
Simon: In fact, Hammer, here is a $2,000 down payment (hands Hammer a roll of $100 bills). There is plenty more where this came from. Just destroy Brad Armstrong tonight and you are a made man. Anything you want. More TV Time, limos, leer jets, woman, and cash.
Van Hammer: Deal. I will do this. You won’t regret hiring me.
Well this was interesting. This is proving that there are even more shady dealings behind the scenes in the NAWA.
Lets take you back to last week. We see Alex Wright’s savage beating on Norman Smiley. First with a cane, then with two German suplexes through a table, a throat-first drop into the guardrail, and last an inverted piledriver onto concrete. Norman Smiley was carted off on a gurney but Wright pushed the gurney off the stage once more. This all leads to an ambulance match at Truth or Consequences. Norman Smiley vs. Alex Wright will go one on one. Will Norman Smiley be 100 percent? Lets take you back to these prerecorded comments from a hospital in Atlanta where Norman was taken last week.
We go and we see Cyrus.
Cyrus: Hello. This is Cyrus bring you a special report from this local Atlanta hospital. As you may have seen last week, Norman Smiley was the victim of a premeditated and brutal attack. We will try to get a word with Norman. His doctor told me that he is in a crabby mood from that attack a few days ago and is mumbling in his sleep about wanting to maim Alex Wright. Norman also suffered two compressed vertebrae and sharp pains in his lower back when he least expects it. I will go in now.
The camera shifts to the hospital room. Norman is lying on his bed with a pad of paper and a pen.
Norman: Oh it is you. What do you want Cyrus.
Cyrus: Well I am here to see how you are doing.
Norman: How you think I am doing? I am strapped to a blasted bed, my back is killing me, and there is nothing good on television anymore.
Cyrus: What are your feelings on what Alex Wright has done to you so far?
Norman: Ah yes Alex Wright. Allow me to explain. I tried to be a nice guy. I tried not to use illegal tactics. I took a big beating at Rage in the Cage. My back was a little sore but I iced it. My mouth however was ripped from my head bouncing of the barbed wire. So was my forehead. Alex ripped me open. I then scored a surprise rollup, which proves that he is not good against the element of surprise. Then on Glory I made my international title shot. I had the match one but my old friend Alex hit me from behind with a cane. He suplexed me through a table. My back was now shooting in pain. The table had no give, which I perceived to be worse than if it had broke. Then Alex picked me up and hit that dreaded suplex again. The table collapsed this time, which proved to be a sense of relief. Alex then picked me up and dropped me throat first onto the railing stunning me for a few seconds. Alex then pulled back the mats and put me over his shoulder. Alex then nearly drove me headfirst into the floor. I kind of landed a better angle because my right shoulder hit his left knee. I heard some compacting and realized I was screwed. Two of my vertebrae crushed together causing even more back pain. Then when I was carried out I was pushed off the ramp on a gurney.
Cyrus: Why this match at Truth or Consequences. You are nowhere near 100 percent.
Norman: Well what is done has to be done. I will teach Alex Wright a lesson or die trying. I will fight Alex Wright with ever last bit of energy I can muster. Every last breath I can get in. I will even dig down deep for that one last burst of energy when all hope is lost. Will I win? I don’t know the answer. One thing is for certain. Alex Wright will have a hell of a fight on his hands at Truth or Consequences.
Cyrus: Thank you for your time Norman.
Norman: Don’t mention it.

There was no deal. It was just a plot to soften up Brad Armstrong without the Enforcer’s having to lift a finger and when all the work was done they will close in for the kill.
[commericial]
The Enforcer’s are walking around waiting for their cue to go out for the next match between C.W. and Brian Lee. Commissioner Steamboat however is their waiting.
Steamboat: You guys thought you pulled it off. Well, C.W. you will have to go out against Brian Lee alone because The Enforcers ARE BARRED FROM RINGSIDE.
The Enforcer’s are protesting this but Steamboat holds his hand up.
Steamboat: Also at Truth or Consequences you C.W. Anderson will face Brad Armstrong in a SUBMISSION MATCH. Swinger and Simon your defense against Brian Lee and Chris Candido will have the titles change hands on a countout or a DQ.
The Enforcers are all yelling at Steamboat as he exits. Security is escorting Swinger, Simon, and Dawn Marie backstage. C.W. goes out for his match.

[commericial]
We see Shane Douglas arriving at the arena. Shane Douglas has had some transportation problems and he is here. So that’s why he wasn’t out here to save the Triple Threat. A backstage crew member approaches Shane Douglas.
Crewmember: Mr. Douglas did you here about what just happened?
Douglas: No.
Crewmember: The Enforcers beat down the Triple Threat. It was one of the most brutal things ever and…
Shane Douglas puts his hand up and grabs a tire iron that happened to be lying in the parking garage.
Shane: My good man. Where is the locker room of the Enforcers?
Crewmember: Second hallway from the bathrooms, third door on the left. You can’t miss it.
Shane rushes off with the tire iron in his hand.
“Simon Says” plays and out comes the NAWA tag team champions Simon and Swinger with Dawn Marie. Dawn Marie is allowed out here for some reason. Maybe because she has an actual manager’s license.
Simon: Tonight is going to be the Enforcers first title defense. We have one of the toughest teams in the NAWA to face. Tell them Swinger.
Swinger: Ladies and Gentlemen. Boys and Girls. Children of all ages. The Enforcers proudly bring to you its tag team champions of the…

What in the hell is going on here? “Loser” by Beck plays and out comes two of the members of the NAWA jobber division, Dave Burkhead and Adrian Byrd. This is not one of the top teams in the NAWA. They would probably be on the very bottom rung as tag team contention goes. The bell rings and this title match is underway.
NAWA world tag team titles Dave Burkhead and Adrian Byrd vs. Simon Diamond and Swinger©(w/Dawn Marie)
The bell rings and Swinger starts out with Burkhead. Swinger spits at Burkhead. Burkhead does a wild face first sell. Swinger is trying not to break character.

Simon is up and we cut to the Enforcer’s locker room where we see C.W. lying face down. Shane Douglas then rushes from the back and attacks Swinger and Simon with a tire iron. Dawn Marie protests in the ring and FRANCINE RUNS FROM THE CROWD. Francine rips off Dawn Marie’s skirt. Dawn Marie tries to cover her ass but Francine boots her in the midsection. Francine then picks up Dawn Marie in a power bomb but spins around letting everybody see a view of Dawn Marie’s ass. We here a clicking of cameras and FRANCINE POWER BOMBS DAWN MARIE.
