NWA Wrestling All-Star Revue (W.A.R.)
January 20, 2006
East Rutherford, NJ
Continental Airlines Arena
Disclaimer: It's like the alleged sanity of "The Warrior" aka Mr. Warrior Warrior - pure fiction.
Rich Landrum and "Above Average" Mike Sanders open the show from ringside. Sanders crows about his recent victories over such stars as Blackjack Mulligan & Yoshihiro Tajiri in recent weeks. Landrum switches the subject to "The Horsemen" and how it appears that Mark Copani has been booted from the group. We see video from last week's "Danger Zone Wrestling" with Arn Anderson & Woman walking out on Copani in a tag match against Bagwell & Douglas, allowing Copani to be pinned.
Music hits and here comes Arn Anderson, Woman, Charlie Haas, Sean O'Haire & Jackie Gayda - The Horsemen - to the ring. Arn talks about opportunities and giving people a chance. He then talks about "tough love" and how sometimes, you have to hurt the ones you love to make them better. Arn calls Mark Copani out and to the ring.
Copani comes down and he's rightfully incensed about Arn & Woman walking out on him last week. Arn tells him to shut up. Copani has been messing up again and again. He was given a simple task - beat the Iron Sheik - and failed repeatedly. Arn had to employ an outside source, Great Muta, to finally put Sheik on the shelf. Arn then mentions how Copani cost Haas & O'Haire one ot their matches in the "Best of 7" series against Kronik. Copani starts to explain, but Arn tells him again to shut up! Copani has a choice. Arn says he likes Copani and thinks he can be a big star. But Copani can't keep screwing up. So here's the choice. It's about "Tough Love" - Copani can quit the Horsemen right now and then - and probably get beaten down to within an inch of his life by the other Horsemen... OR he can take one more challenge and prove himself to the Horsemen.
Copani quickly replies that he'll do "anything" to stay a member of the Horsemen. He's very apologetic and humble. Arn says that at the PPV, "Thunder & Lightning", all Copani has to do is beat Sting. He's on his own at the PPV and it's either beat Sting or face the wrath of The Horsemen. Copani gets cocky for a moment and says that Sting will be history. Arn says that Sting had better be or else Copani will be... period!

We come back and Landrum & Sanders talk about what just transpired. It's been signed for the PPV - Mark Copani versus Sting and if Copani loses, he's "fired" from the Horsemen. Later tonight, Arn Anderson defends the North American Championship against Buff Bagwell. Also, the "Best of 7" series continues as Charlie Haas & Sean O'Haire take on Kronik. The Horsemen lead the series 3 - 1 and can put it away tonight to claim the NWA World Tag Team titles. And in a special match, the two NWA Co-Commissioners - Harley Race and Juventud Guerrera will be teaming up against the team of "Dirty" Doug Gilbert & "Wildfire" Tommy Rich. Landrum speculates how Race & Juvi will get along in the ring with their different styles. Time to go to the ring and David Penzer...
"THE BOOGIE WOOGIE MAN" JIMMY VALIANT versus THE GREAT MUTA
As Muta comes to the ring, we see video of his match against The Iron Sheik last week on DZW. Landrum mentions that Sheik was injured in that match and will be out of action indefinitely. Valiant is dancing to his music and making nice to the fans at ringside as the bell rings. Muta goes to the floor and attacks almost immediately and unloads several chops and kicks on Valiant. Muta rolls Valiant into the ring and gets a quick two. Valiant rips at the eyes and starts to fight back with fists and kicks of his own. A spinkick by Muta knocks Valiant senseless and Muta covers for another two. Muta whips Valiant into the ropes, but Valiant reverses and catches Muta with an elbow. Fists and another elbow. Valiant moves in, but Muta hits him with a superkick out of nowhere. Dragon sleeper by Muta and Valiant quickly goes out. The ref calls for the bell.
Winner: THE GREAT MUTA
We go to the back and see Doug Gilbert and Tommy Rich talking to Michael P.S. Hayes. What are their thoughts about the match tonight against Harley Race and Juvi? Rich talks about beating 'em like dogs and mentions that Race is an old man and calls Juvi an illegal immigrant. Hayes brings up that if they get out of line against Juvi & Race, there could be ramifications since Juvi & Harley are still the Commissioners. Gilbert acts like he just realized this and looks shocked. It's damned if they beat them and damned if they don't. Rich says it doesn't matter - beat their asses now and worry about the consequences later. Gilbert agrees although he doesn't really look convinced like that's a great idea.

Back to David Penzer for the next match...
VAMPIRO (with Jim Cornette) versus "HACKSAW" BUTCH REED
Cornette tears into Reed verbally before the match, poking him in the chest. Reed swings at Cornette, but gets nailed from behind by Vampiro as Cornette goes to the floor and the referee rings the bell. Kicks and elbows by Vampiro and a big suplex. Chops and punches. Reed starts to fight back with fists and kicks, but misses a clothesline. Vampiro counters with the "Nail in the Coffin" and covers for a quick pin.
Winner: VAMPIRO (with Jim Cornette)
In the back, Missy Hyatt is standing by with NWA Commissioners Juventud Guerrera and Harley Race. Tonight, they're in the ring as a team. What are their thoughts. Race says that he's still not crazy about the idea of Juvi as the Co-Commissioner, but he's a good lucha-style wrestler and Race respects his abilities in the ring. Tonight, they're going to see if they can work together. Juvi puts over Race again as a "true legend" and talks about what an honor it is to be his partner tonight in the ring and as the Co-Commissioner of the NWA. Harley slaps Juvi on the back and Juvi winces in pain as Harley ends the interview by saying that their opponents tonight are going "back to school" and getting beat - period!
We see Brian Adams & Bryan Clark, aka Kronik, in the back warming up. A referee sticks his head in and tells them it's time. Clark and Adams are headed towards the ring. The "Best of 7" series match is next.

BEST OF SEVEN SERIES - NWA WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
(Horsemen lead 3 -1 )
BRIAN ADAMS & BRYAN CLARK - KRONIK versus SEAN O'HAIRE & CHARLIE HAAS (with Miss Jackie) - THE HORSEMEN
Haas starts out strong, taking down Clark with a firemans carry and a chinlock. Forearms by Haas. Clark with the clothesline and a big slam. Adams tags in and unloads with several kicks on Haas, knocking him to the floor. Haas climbs back to the ring and tags in O'Haire. Fists are exchanged as a brawl develops between Adams & O'Haire. Haas gets the cheap shots in from the outside and the Horsemen do the double-team. This continues for a little while and Adams takes a tremendous beating as Clark can do nothing but watch from the outside. Haas goes for a backdrop, but Adams catches him with a neckbreaker. Crawl to the corner and hot tag to Clark. Lots of clotheslines by Clark and he cleans house on the Horsemen. A slam sends O'Haire rolling to the floor. Tag to Adams and it's "high times" for Haas. Adams covers for the pin as Clark nails O'Haire as he tries to break it up. The ref makes the count and Kronik is still alive and wins the match.
Winners: BRIAN ADAMS & BRYAN CLARK - KRONIK
Series is now 3 - 2 in favor of the Horsemen...
We go to the back and see Arn & Woman watching the match on the moniter. Arn curses as we see Kronik get the win. He tells Woman to tell Haas & O'Haire to meet him in their dressing room later. They need to talk. Arn's cell phone rings as Woman takes off to find O'Haire and Haas. Arn answers his phone as we cut to...
Michael P.S. Hayes standing by with Mike Awesome. Awesome says that he feels like a ghost around here. He won the North American championship and was ECW World Champion for a time, but no one seems to remember that when it comes time for making matches. Awesome doesn't think he gets any respect. Here is another ECW alumni, The Sandman. He tells Awesome that he shouldn't even mention being ECW champ, because as Sandman remembers it, Awesome deserted ECW and went to WCW - leaving ECW high and dry. Awesome asks how Sandy can remember anything since he stayed drunk all the time. Sandman gets in Awesome's face and says he might be a drunk but he can still kick Awesome's ass. Awesome and Sandman are ready to go when in steps NWA Commissioner Harley Race. If they want to fight - take it to the ring... right now! Awesome says fine and walks away, headed towards the ring. Sandman pulls a beer out of his tights and takes a big swig, He's ready and plans to beat Awesome's ass!

Sandman pulls a fire extinguisher out from under the ring and nails Awesome with it. A big kick and Sandman puts Awesome in the ring and covers for two.

The referee counts the pin and Sandman is the winner.

We see Harley Race and Juvi talking and going over their match strategy. Harley is telling Juvi to just follow his lead. He knows Rich and Gilbert better than most and they're tough, but they're a couple of goofballs and prone to making stupid mistakes. Juvi is cocky and conident and says that it's time to rumble because "The Juice" is in de' house...

NWA NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
ARN ANDERSON (c) with Woman versus BUFF BAGWELL
ARN ANDERSON (c) with Woman versus BUFF BAGWELL
Buff is first to the ring and he's all smiles, strutting and posing and showing his "stuff".. Arn comes to the ring and he's not happy - and all business as he unloads on Buff at the bell with several left hands and stomps. Buff fights back with punches and chops. Buff goes for a backdrop, but Arn catches him with the DDT. It's over quickly as Arn then moves in with a brainbuster for and a cover for the pin.
Winner: ARN ANDERSON

We come back and music hits as Christian Cage, the NWA World Champion and Disco Inferno come to the ring. They almost didn't make it to the show tonight - they were fighting off the women at the motel and have been partying all week with the Peeps in E. Rutherford. **cheap pop** At the PPV, it's Christian against Scott Steiner in a TLC match. Cage goes over his resume in that kind of match. Steiner is a freakzilla, but he's not "Captain Charisma" and Cage prefers the "Peeps" to the "freaks" anytime. Disco talks and he puts over hanging with Cage - it's the best thing since Donna Summer and KC and the Sunshine Band. Disco has a challenge for Test. How about him and Disco at the PPV? Disco says if Test has the guts, be there and they'll boogie all night long. Christian ends the segment by saying "cause that's how WE roll!"

Landrum says that he's gotten word from the back - Disco Inferno versus Test has been added to the PPV. It's time for the main event...
Cue David Penzer..

Juvi tags in with kicks and chops. He gets caught in the corner and double-teamed by Rich & Gilbert who work over Juvi pretty well. Gilbert with a slam and cover for two - Race breaks it up for the save. Juvi tags to Race who levels Gilbert with a suplex. Diving headbutt by Race and it scores on Gilbert.
