WWAW Tuesday Turbo
Aired LIVE 1/30/2001
(We see clips of the PPV, including Kronic's win in the four corners match to win the tag team tiles, Goldberg's win over Bagwell, Norton's squashing of Chavo, and a few other clips.)
("Neckbone" plays and we are live in the Tingley Coliseum in New Mexico for WWAW Turbo! Right away, "Crush 'Em" by Megadeth plays and Goldberg comes out, meaning that we're gonna get started right away. Linkin Park's "One Step Closer" plays and Chavo comes out, and we get started with the opening match of Turbo...)
Bill Goldberg vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.
Summary: The monster, against the "midget" was the opening match in Turbo. Upset that he lost to Norton at Winter Blast, Chavo gave it to Bill in the early going, hitting a few punches and an eye gouge. However, after Goldberg reversed a whip into the ropes, he gained control, hitting a Gorilla Press, a running elbow, and a kick, then threw Chavo out of the ring. Chavo came back into the ring and Goldberg hit him with a savate kick, followed by a forearm smash. Goldberg went for another, but Chavo reversed it, and tried to hit a hiptoss, but he couldn't toss Goldberg. Chavo knocked down Goldberg with a clothesline off the ropes, but Goldberg hit a bodyslam on Chavo after no-selling a kick. Chavo fought back and threw Goldberg outside the ring, and had the advantage. Goldberg blocked a bulldog and went for a backdrop, but Chavo caught Goldberg's legs and hit him with a sunset flip, getting 2. After a few reversals, Chavo hit a dropkick and knocked Goldberg out of the ring. Chavo got a running start and hit a running somersault plancha to the delight of the crowd. Chavo went back in the ring and went for a moonsault bodyblock, but he hit it, only to have Goldberg POP right back up. Chavo blocked a Gorilla Press and threw Goldberg back into the ring at 4. Chavo got another 2 after a hiptoss, but he then threw Goldberg out of the ring again. Chavo went for the running somersault plancha again, but paid for it as Goldberg moved out of the way, sending Chavo to the mat with a sickening splat. Back in the ring, Chavo side-stepped a spear by inches and hit a few punches on Goldberg, but Goldberg went for a spear when whipped into the ropes, but Chavo managed to dive out of the way again. The crowd was going apeshit, waiting for that one spear to knock Chavo's brains out. Chavo hit a moonsault bodyblock on Goldberg, but RIGHT at 3, Goldberg kicked out and it was a 2 count. Goldberg punched Chavo, and hit the spear, and went for the Jackhammer, NO! COUNTER! Cross-body block! NO! 2 count! Chavo tried to fight Goldberg off, but Chavo hit a punch, but Goldberg hit a spear AGAIN. Goldberg hit the Jackhammer and went for the pin.
ONE...
TWO...
THR..NO! HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT!
Goldberg reversed a reversed punch by Chavo and hit a clothesline, followed by a 3rd spear. Once again, Chavo countered the Jackhammer with a inside cradle. Goldberg got his foot on the ropes, so it was only a 2 count. Chavo got on a roll, hitting moves like a kick for a one count, and a spinebuster for 1. Chavo later countered a clothesline with a cruicifix, but only got two. Chavo hit a flying dropkick off the top and went for the cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THR--NO! HE WAS SO CLOSE!
Chavo hit a rally of kicks and punches, and then hit a flying cross body press, but Goldberg kicked out at 1. A clothesline by Chavo set up a sleeperhold on Goldberg, but Goldberg hit a jawbreaker. Goldberg signaled for the Jackhammer, and hit it... could he get it this time?
ONE...
TWO...
THREE! WHAT A MATCH! WHAT A MATCH!
Bill Goldberg pinned Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Jackhammer in 0:14:40.
Rating: ** 1/2
After the match, Goldberg picked up Chavo and shook his hand and hugged to a big pop from the crowd. These two put on a damn good match, and they deserved it.

(Jacob Goodman is with Danny Doring and Roadkill.)
Goodman: Doring, Roadkill, tonight you face the Hardyz, two days removed from a disappointing loss in the four corners match.
Doring: Jacob, we aren't worried about the titles right now, because we'll get them sooner or later. We take it one day at a time, and this day we are facing the Hardyz. It won't be pretty, we won't be nice, but it'll be an asskicking.
Goodman: Anything to say, Roadkill?
Roadkill: CHICKENSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Goodman: My thoughts exactly.
(Doring and Roadkill walk off as we go to commercial.)
(Commercials)
(The Hardyz come out first to their music, accompanied by Lita. Deftones' "Change" plays, but Doring and Roadkill are no where to be found. However, a camera backstage catches Doring and Roadkill laid out. Officials come to check on them, and they both shake off help and start slowly walking to the ring. They come down and the match is on.)
Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. The Hardyz
Summary: Poor Doring. Poor Roadkill. That was the general thought in the crowd's mind going into this match, and their morale certainly wasn't boosted, as Lita distracted Doring as he was catching the advantage in the beginning of the match, and Jeff Hardy took control and never looked back. He hit a flying bodypress, and Roadkill just couldn't get there in time to break the pin. A big squash here, as the victims of a heinous attack pay the price in the ring.

Palumbo: Hey Shawn, look at those jabronies.
Stasiak: Ha, what losers.
Palumbo: I wonder who attacked them.
Stasiak: Who cares?
Palumbo: Yeah, you're right.
Stasiak: We gotta get ready for Kronic tonight anyways.
Palumbo: Yeah.
(We go to Jacob Goodman is with Buff Bagwell.)
Goodman: Buff, last night you were defeated by Goldberg, who you seemed to piss off on his first entry into the federation.
Bagwell: How many times have I told you, Jacob, not to talk about my defeats, and talk about my triumphant victories?
Goodman: ...You haven't.
Bagwell: Shut up, Jacob. That won't matter, because I'm facing Chris Jericho tonight. Jericho, you dirty blond idiot, I'm gonna beat your ass. And that's all there is to it.
(Buff walks off.)
("Break the Walls Down" plays and Chris Jericho comes out. "We Be Clubbin'" plays, and Buff comes out to a little heat for trash-talking Jericho.)
Buff Bagwell vs. Chris Jericho
(Note: This write-up is lackluster, due to the fact that I don't like doing Buff's matches, and that I'm burnt out due to the Chavo/Goldberg match.)
Summary: After losing to Jeff Jarrett at Winter Blast, giving Jarrett the World Title win he was looking for from day one, Jericho stepped into the ring with Buff Bagwell. Bagwell got greedy with Jericho, and Jericho hit an inside cradle on Bagwell when he went for a bodyslam, and Jericho picked up the win, post-Winter Blast.
Chris Jericho pinned Buff Bagwell after an inside cradle in 0:14:59.

(Jacob Goodman is with Mantaur.)
Goodman: Mantaur, tonight, you'll make your singles debut in the WWAW against Scott Norton in the main event, the man who absolutely demolished Chavo Guerrero Jr. on Sunday at Winter Blast. Do you fear you may be next?
Mantaur: To be honest, Jacob, I don't. I feel that I'm the one who should be feared around here. It'll be interesting to see what Norton can give me, but I'm gonna tell him to bring it, and the big bastard better bring it.
(Mantaur walks off as we go to commercials.)
(Commercials)
(We come back from commercials, and we have a rematch from Sunday's PPV, as Chris Kanyon will be taking on Jesse James. "Where the River Flows" plays as Kanyon comes out to heat, and I'm not talking about the temperature. Kanyon has a mic with him as he slides into the ring.)
Kanyon: New Mexico. What a place. Sunday night, Jesse James walked into California, and somehow, picked up a fluke victory. I challenged him tonight, because I feel that Jesse James has something in common with New Mexico-folk. They're smelly, stupid, and ugly, just like James! So Road-diggity-Dogg, or whoever the hell you are, come down to the ring, and I'll show you how to be Positively beaten.
(The DX theme plays and James come down to a moderate pop from the New Mexico crowd. You can hear faint chants in the crowd of "KICK HIS ASS, KICK HIS ASS" as Road Dogg comes down to the ring to start the match.)
Chris Kanyon vs. "Road Dogg" Jesse James
Summary: Kanyon was agressive against James at the PPV, but even moreso here. Kanyon got redemption for his loss at the PPV, in a good match, winning with a German suplex.
Chris Kanyon pinned Jesse James after a German suplex in 0:09:55.
Rating: * 3/4
Kanyon gets the mic after the match.
Kanyon: This is the type of person YOU guys cheer for? Hell, he's almost as much of a hillbilly as that Georgian yokel Bill Goldberg.
He may have been a football player, but he can't be POSITIVELY PERFECT like Chris Kanyon.
(Kanyon dropped the mic and celebrated to the crowd, but "Crush 'Em" plays and Goldberg comes down to the ring. Kanyon looks like he's about to soil himself as Goldberg slides into the ring. Kanyon gets ready for battle, but Goldberg just storms across the ring, hitting Kanyon with a big spear. Goldberg then picked up Kanyon and hit him with a Jackhammer, much to the delight of the fans in New Mexico.)

(Jacob Goodman is with everyone's favorite assholes, the Perfect Event.)
Goodman: Stasiak, Palumbo, up next you're facing the Tag Champs, Kronic, in a non-title match.
Stasiak: Shut your damn mouth, Jacob.
(Stasiak steals the mic from Jacob and pushes him away.)
Stasiak: Kronic, you may think you are big and bad, but we have the brains, we have the brawn, and we have the boots, that we'll be stomping into your head. Like us or not, we'll be sure to get those belts fitted for us, because that's the only damn place their going.
(Stasiak tosses the stick to Palumbo.)
Palumbo: Listen up, you steroid pumped-up jabronies. We're stepping into the ring with you two tonight, and we may not leave with the titles now, but it'll come someday. And you'll look back on this, wishing you wouldn't have fucked with the main event.
(The Perfect Event walks off, as the censors gather their thoughts, and we go to commercials.)

(Billy Squire "The Stroke" plays as the Perfect Event comes out to boos.)
(KRONICKRONICKRONIC... Kronic comes out to a little heat, and they have their belts...even though they aren't defending them.)
Non-Title Match
The Perfect Event vs. Kronic
Summary: Kronic had the weight advantage going into this match, no matter what the Perfect Event said they had. Stasiak and Clark fought inside the ring. Suddenly, the lights went out. They came back on, and Clark was knocked out. Adams had a "WTF?" look on his face, as Palumbo dropped from the apron and ran over to attack Adams. Stasiak looked at the downed Clark, and hit him with a powerslam, as Clark was deadweight. Palumbo and Adams went at it as Stasiak went for a cover, and Adams tried to get into the ring to stop the count, but Palumbo caught his leg and stopped the attempt, giving the match to the Perfect Event, no matter how controversial the ending was.

As the Perfect Event left with smiles on their faces, Adams looked displeased as he checked on Clark, who looked to be busted open.

(Perry Saturn is in his locker room.)
Saturn: Steve Corino, sometimes, after a loss, I like to sit back and watch what I did right, and what I did wrong. When I saw the clips of our troubles together, I remembered how good it felt when I hit a brainbuster through the table on you. It felt DAMN GOOD. I've heard people call me a "tag team wrestler". What do they know? I can go out there, get into that ring, and kick some ass just as good as the next guy. You can say that it's about time I prove myself. Corino, both of us are good wrestlers. You were the better man last night, but I can't guarantee that deja vu will come back tonight. You can bet that I'm coming at you full force, and that you better be ready.
(We now go to Goodman with Scott Norton.)
Goodman: Norton, after a convincing win over Chavo--
Norton: Shut up, Jacob. I'm done with that midget. Tonight, I'm facing Mantaur. I ain't afraid of him, I can kick his ass, and I'm gonna kick his ass, right in the middle of the ring. It's time to learn that I'm the best around here, and to accept no substitutes.
Goodman: Strong words from a strong man.
(Norton walks off as we go to commercials.)
(Method Man's "Judgement Day" plays as Perry Saturn comes to the ring.)
("Come With Me" blares next as Steve Corino comes down to the ring to begin the rematch from the PPV.)
Perry Saturn vs. Steve Corino
Summary: Wow. Steve Corino was using a hardcore old-school style in this match, and Saturn just couldn't match it. Corino hit the Superkick for the win.
Steve Corino pinned Perry Saturn with the Superkick in 0:05:13.

Introductions for the Main Event
(Robert Smith will be making the introductions tonight.)
("Machinehead" plays as Mantaur exits the entranceway.)

(Mantaur enters the ring.)
("Fuel" plays as Norton comes out.)

Main Event
Mantaur vs. Scott Norton
Summary: Going into this match, the fans wanted to see what Mantaur could do. With a 90 pound advantage over Norton, many thought Norton would have trouble with Mantaur, especially when trying to lift him up for his Powerbomb. In a big battle, both men went toe to toe with each other. In the end, Norton hit a football tackle and went for the pin, but the bell ringed in his spite.
Scott Norton and Mantaur battled to a draw in 0:20:00.
Rating: -* 3/4
Norton, pissed he couldn't keep the big man down, let out his frustrations. He clotheslined Mantaur, and then dragged him out to the ring. Norton went to Powerbomb him on the concrete, but Mantaur countered with a backdrop. Norton smacked against the concrete, and Mantaur picked him up and threw him in the ring. Mantaur grabbed a table from under the ring and slid it in, then got in himself. He set it up, and waited for Norton to get up. When he did, Mantaur wasn't ready for the raging clothesline that followed. Norton picked up Mantaur, and set him up for a Powerbomb through the table. 1 try...2nd try...3rd? YES! HE'S GOT HIM UP!!... AND DOWN!!! HOLY SHIT!! MANTAUR just got the FUCK powerbombed out of him! Norton throws his arms up in the air as the show ends, and the celebration begins for "Flash".
