NWA Wrestling All-Star Revue (NWA W.A.R.)
December 23, 2005
War Memorial Auditorium
Rochester, NY
Announcers Rich Landrum and Mike Sanders welcome us to the show and talk briefly about the NWA Seasons Beatings PPV from this past Tuesday night. It's was a big show with a lot of things happening including several new champions. There will be more on that later on. Right now, let's go straight to the ring where Blackjack Mulligan is standing by with an edition of "Blackjack's BBQ"...
Mulligan is in the ring and calls out his guest for the BBQ - it's NWA Womans Champion Lisa "Ivory" Moretti. Ivory comes out to a big pop and has a beef to get off her shoulder. At the PPV, she didn't have an opponent. She worked as a ring announcer. She's the Womens Champion and is ring-announcing at the biggest PPV of the year??? That's not right... And she comes to work tonight, and doesn't have a match scheduled either. This isn't the WWE! Women here wrestle - and she wants to defend her title. She's calling out NWA Commissioner Harley Race right now to find out why she's being ignored...
Harley comes out and he apologizes to Lisa. He's not ignoring her.. She's already defeated all the women on the roster in the NWA and is a two-time Champion. Harley has been busy trying to find Ivory some fresh opponents. And he's found one. Ivory says to being her out. Harley signals to the back and out comes Diva Search Winner Christy Hemme... Christy waves to the fans as Ivory just smiles and shrugs her shoulders. This is the best Race can do - a Playboy centerfold bimbo? Christy takes offtense at Ivory's comments and gets in her face. Ivory backs off and then slaps the taste out of Hemme's mouth. CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! CATFIGHT! Race & Mulligan pull Hemme & Moretti apart and Race tells them both to quit now! Next week on W.A.R. - it's Lisa Moretti versus Christy Hemme - and it's for the Women's Title...
We see a clip from the PPV - showing highlights of the Copani - Iron Sheik cage match... and Mark Copani taps out - giving the Iron Sheik the win...
(commerical)
We come back and Mark Copani is in the back upset. Arn Anderson is also there trying to calm Copani down. Arn lost his title, but you don't see him getting all upset and flustered. Copani tells Arn that maybe he needs to get upset - the Horsemen lost it all at the PPV. Copani lost to the Iron Sheik. Haas & O'Haire lost the tag titles. And Arn lost the North American Championship. And all Arn can say is calm down! Woman steps in and tells Copani to watch himself - Arn is the leader of the Horsemen and he knows what he's doing! Copani says that maybe it's time for the Horsemen to have a new leader. Arn and Copani stare at each other as we go to the ring and David Penzer...
LODI versus ALEX WRIGHT
We see clips of the "Pink Slip Battle Royal" and Lenny Lane is eliminated, thus losing his job with the NWA. Lodi is on his own now and is a singles wrestler....
Both men circle and trade takedowns before Lodi moves in with a knee. Slam and elbow and Lodi gets two. Wright fights back with forearms and elbows and a suplex. Slam and a knee for two. More back and forth with neither man able to keep the advantage for too long a time. Finally, Wright catches Lodi with a flying forearm and goes up top. Missle dropkick by Lodi and he covers for two as Wright makes the ropes. Lodi is frustrated and decides to argue with the referee about the count. Lodi shoves the referee and the ref shoves back. Lodi falls back into a roll-up by Alex and the ref makes the count of three.
Winner: ALEX WRIGHT
Wright dances in the ring to celebrate as Lodi and the referee continue to argue.
We go to the back where Missy Hyatt is standing by with The Iron Sheik. Sheik is proud of his win at the PPV - be took the best Copani had to offer and beat him down, making him tap. Here is Mark Copani and he's in the Sheik's face. It was a fluke and nothing more. Sheik says that he can do it again anytime and that Copani is a punk - and will never be anything more. Copani attacks and starts brawling with the Sheik. From out of nowhere, Arn Anderson attacks the Sheik from behind and all of the Horsemen follow. It's a four on one beatdown on the former WWF Champion until the referees and road agents move in and break the scene up.

We come back and see the Iron Sheik being loaded into an ambulance. The Horsemen are standing by and watching. Here is NWA Commissioner Harley Race. He's mad as hell and tells the Horsemen that he's had enough of these four on one attacks. He tells them to get out of his building now. He'll deal with them later. Arn just smirks and says that Harley needs to get used to it - they're the Horsemen and do what they want - when they want. Race is livid and says that they'll see about that. The Horsemen start to leave, but Race tells O'Haire and Haas to stick around. They have a match tonight against Kronik in the "Best of 7 Series" for the Tag Team titles. They stay. The rest of the Horsemen have to leave the building now.
We see video from the PPV of Bobby Eaton & Jim Cornette trying to ambush Disco Inferno after their loss to the team of Blackjack Mulligan and Greg Valentine. Disco fights back and later helps Masked Superstar clear the ring after his match against Vampiro when the Express interfered.
Back to the ring and David Penzer...
BOBBY EATON & STAN LANE - THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (with Jim Cornette)
versus
THE MASKED SUPERSTAR & DISCO INFERNO
Disco starts off by dancing a moment and then nailing Lane with a kick to the guts. Lots of double-teaming by Disco & Superstar to take the early advantage. A cheap shot by Cornette allows Eaton to take control of the match over the Superstar and score with several neckbreakers in succession. Lane & Eaton keep Superstar over in their side of the ring and repeatedly double-team the masked wrestler. Disco gets the hot tag, but the referee is out of position and doesn't see the tag or allow it. While the ref puts Disco back out of the ring, Cornette nails Superstar with the tennis racket from the outside. Lane covers and grabs the tights to get the pin.
Winners: THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS (with Jim Cornette)
We go to the back where Missy Hyatt is standing by with the new NWA North American Heavyweight Champion - Mike Awesome. Awesome is proud of the belt and vows to be a fighting champion who takes on everyone and anyone. He'll give Arn Anderson a rematch whenever he wants it. Tonight, he takes on Greg Valentine in his first title defense and he knows Valentine is tough, but Awesome vows to keep his title.

We come back to the show and here comes Christian Cage to the ring. We see video footage of the match from Seasons Beatings against Sting and see Cage get the pinfall. Christian Cage is the NEW NWA World Heavyweight Champion. It's a big pop for the new champ as he does a trademark "Five second pose" with the championship belt and sends a big shout out to the peeps. It's a dream come true and the payoff for years of bumps and bruises and busting his tail. Tonight, he defends the title against the Great Muta, who won the Pink Slip Battle Royal at the PPV. That's cool! Muta will wish he had been fired when the night is over because Cage is primed and ready to take on the world. Cage is the champ and will be the champ for a long time - and they'll have to kill him to take the belt away from him. He's Captain Charisma and that's how he rolls!

Back again to David Penzer...
SCOTT HALL & STEVIE RICHARDS versus MIKE ROTUNDO & BARRY WINDHAM
A quick handshake at the beginning in a sign of respect between the two teams, but the good sportmanship is quickly tossed out the window as tempers flare and the brawling begins. Lots of quick tags and double-teaming by WIndham and Rotundo as they work over Richards and keep Stevie-Cool trapped in their corner for most of the match. Stevie manages to hit Rotundo with a borderline punch to the lower realms and tags in "The Bad Guy". Hall is on fire and scores with clotheslines and a snake-eyes for Rotundo. Windham comes in and the fists are flying. Windham tries to go for the bulldog, but Stevie catches him with a Stevie-kick from the ring apron. Hall takes advantage and quickly applies the Razors Edge for a pin on Windham as Richards cuts off Rotundo to keep him from making the save.
Winners: STEVIE RICHARDS & SCOTT HALL
Back to the back where Missy Hyatt is standing by with Kronik. Brian Adams & Bryan Clark are both in fairly good moods. They didn't win the titles at the PPV, but they're just a few matches away from beng the champs again. It's a "Best of 7" series and Adams knows that no team can beat them in this kind of event. And especially with the Horsemen gone from the building - Haas & O'Haire are on their own. Clark predicts a easy victory and some high times for The Horsemen and lots of pain and hurt as a Christmas present. After all, it's all about Kronik and tonight, they're one step closer to being the World Tag Team Champs.

Back to David Penzer...
NWA NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
MIKE AWESOME (c) versus GREG "THE HAMMER" VALENTINE
A relatively short match. Valentine takes the early advantage with forearms and clubbing blows to the back and neck of Awesome, but Mike fights back with fists and a clothesline that sends Valentine hard to the floor. Awesome follows with a suicide dive that connects on the outside and both men are down. Back in the ring, Awesome keesp control with chops and a suplex. Running power bomb and Valentine is pinned in less than three minutes.
Winner: MIKE AWESOME

We see clips from the PPV as Hunter Hearst Helmsley and X-Pac do the swerve in the mixed-tag team match and turn on both Joanie Laurer and Madusa after the match. Next week on NWA Danger Zone Wrestling - both Laurer and Madusa will be the guests on Ted DiBaise's "Money Pit" to address this situation and what the future holds for both ladies.
Cue David Penzer...
BEST OF SEVEN SERIES - NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP - MATCH 1
BRIAN ADAMS & BRYAN CLARK - KRONIK versus CHARLIE HAAS & SEAN O'HAIRE
A brawl and utter chaos from the get-go as Clark just opens up a can of whoop-ass on Haas with several chops and a big clothesline that sends Haas flying to the floor. Adams goes after Haas on the floor and puts him hard into the steel ringpost. Back in the ring, a backbreaker by Adams and it looks like easy pickings for Kronik as they signal for the "high times". O'Haire manages to get in and break up the scene before Kronik can apply their finisher and catches Clark with a big kick. Adams and O'Haire are brawling and trading chops. Suplex by Adams. Haas is in and he gets nailed by a clothesline. Clark is in as well and all four men are in the ring brawling. The referee gets caught by an inadvertant elbow and goes down. Kronik hits the "high times" on Haas, but the referee is down and can't make the count. O'Haire is in with a chair and levels Adams from behind, sending him to the floor. Clark nails O'Haire, but is caught from behind by a low blow by Haas. Haas covers and the referee slowly crawls over and makes the count.
Winners of Match 1 - SEAN O'HAIRE & CHARLIE HAAS
We go to the back and see Scott Hall and Stevie Richards watching this match on a moniter. Stan Lane walks by and asks if the're enjoying the show because watching from the back is as close as Hall & Richards will ever get to being tag team champions. Hall shoots back, asking how many titles Lane has held recently? It gets a bit heated for a moment as Bobby Eaton also steps into the picture and the four men go nose to nose, but that looks to be it as we cut to... a split screen with The Great Muta practicing his karate moves and Christian putting a final shine on his belt. They're both called to the ring. Christian Cage versus The Great Muta is next...
(commercial)
We see clips of Muta winning the "Pink Slip Battle Royal" at Seasons Beatings... and then later on, misting Jimmy Hart with the green mist.
Landrum and Sanders announce that the NWA's next big PPV will be coming from Las Vegas, Nevada on January 26, 2006. It's called "NWA Thunder & Lightning"...
Now to David Penzer and the main event...
NWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
CHRISTIAN CAGE (c) versus THE GREAT MUTA
Muta starts off quickly with kicks and going after the leg of Cage. A takedown and Muta locks in an anklelock. Cage kicks out and rolls to the floor. Muta follows, but gets caught by a big chop by Cage. They trade chops on the floor and it looks as if Muta gets the best of this exchange. Cage drops down, grabbing Muta by the tights and pulling him face first into the ringpost. Muta eats steel and is down. Cge puts him back into the ring and gets two. Kicks and stomps by Cage on the challenger. Muta reverses a whip into the corner and catches Cage with a big kick to the face. Both men are down as we take a commercial break.

We come back and Muta has the advantage with Cage locked in a nerve hold. Cage uses elbows to escape and catches Muta with a high knee. Fists by Cage and a big slam. Cage goes up to the top, but comes off into a big boot and kick by Muta. Cage is down and Muta covers for two as Cage gets the foot on the ropes. Muta slams Cage and whips him into the corner. Big chops. Muta goes for the kick again, but Cage manages to duck it and catch Muta with a jawbreaker. Cage rolls Muta up in a small package, but Muta reverses and gets two. Cage reverses again and grabs a handful of the ropes. The ref counts and hits three.
Winner: CHRISTIAN CAGE
Muta complains to the referee as Cage raises his arms in victory. Muta is frustrated and goes after Cage who quickly drops out of the ring and to the floor to get away from the incensed Muta. The referee gets between Muta and the fleeing Cage and Muta sprays him in the face with the red mist. The ref goes down, thrashing around and we see a close up of Muta's face and a bewildered Cage on the ramp as the show credits appear and we fade to black...
The end....
