NAWF - Week 4 [Anger Management]

TecmoNickPosted on 04/11/04 at 19:49:34

The fueds continue to build this week. I'm starting to get a good idea who should do well in the upcoming World Title tournament...


[The show begins backstage with Rick Rude and Madman Pondo in their locker room. Pondo is slamming things into lockers as Rude grabs his shoulder...]

Rude: "Get a hold of yourself. It's only a matter of time before we get the tag belts back..."

Pondo: "I'm not sure how long I'll be able to wait to get my hands on..."

[Just then Vader and Sabu enter the locker room...]

Vader: "Hey boy, calm down. Who cares if you lost your tag team titles, there are more important things to worry about around here."

Pondo: "Like what?"

Vader: "Like Vader..."

[Vader pushes Pondo aside and gets in Rude's face...]

Vader: "Listen up Rick, I have something to ask you. I need you to referee the main event tonight. Me and Sabu want to teach that pretty boy a lesson tonight."

Sabu: "And Kendo..."

Vader: "And Kendo."

[Rick thinks about it, then grins...]

Rude: "Sure, I'll referee the match. And don't worry, I'll call it right down the middle."

[Rick and Vader share a laugh as we go to our first match...]

Rating: ****

I figured I'd give Shamrock a shot at one half of the tag champs, and he took adavantage of it. Shamrock followed up his win over Anderson last week with another dominating performance.

Rating: ***

Quality match that didn't see much of Miek Awesome. These four guys have been going at it since the first week. After Spellbinder got pinned Mike Awesome just left the ring in discust, seemingly fed up with tag action.

Rating: ** 3/4

Storm got the better of Pillman in this one. Jericho will take on Al Snow later tonight in singles action.

As soon as the match ended Lance Storm came running down to the ring. He blasts Snow from behind and begins beating him down. Here comes Brian Pillman!

Rick Rude got knocked out by Vader on accident early on, and when he woke up he wasn't very happy. Rude counted Vader's shoulder to the mat and quickly left the ring. Vader and Sabu were pissed and Rude just shrugged his shoulders to them as he headed backstage.


Card rating: ** 3/4


Next week Vader and Shawn Michaels will go at it in the Main Event!  Also, the World Title qualifier matches will begin.

Vader vs Rude!  That is gonna be a GOOD feud!  :)  The heels are starting to fight amongst themselves!  What a circuit!  I can't wait to see just who qualifies now.
TecmoNickPosted on 04/12/04 at 16:40:42

Yeah, the heels really are going at it.  But luckly it is working out alright in these situations.  Keep watching to see what happens with Rude and Vader...
