WWAW All Star Wrestling
Taped 3/29/2001
Aired 3/31/2001
(We see clips from Turbo, including Jacob Goodman finally getting someone to kick the Perfect Event's asses, Mantaur chokeslamming the hell out of Chavo, Al Snow throwing a tantrum only to get interrupted by Chris Jericho, Vampiro and Muta's brutal attack on the WWAW Tag Team Champions, Chris Benoit and Toshiaki Kawada, Mantaur and Corino teaming up to beat the hell out of Goldberg and Chavo, and the rematch from Sunday's PPV, with Scott Norton and Jeff Jarrett taking each other on, only to have Jarrett come out the victor, with the post-match "lights out" attack, that was NOT done by Norton.)
(However, before the show even starts, we are taken backstage, as Trent Rutherford informs us of the situation that is going on.)
Rutherford: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to All Star Wrestling, but backstage, we have a very big situation developing. Scott Norton and Jeff Jarrett shared a few words just minutes before we went on the air, and the two have begun to fight. Security has broken it up.
(We zoom in on the scene, and we see Jake Ryder running up.)
Ryder: HEY! What the hell is going on here?
Jarrett: I'm trying to get revenge on this slapass for sneak attacking me this past Tuesday, if you're too dumb to see already.
Ryder: Alright, that's enough out of you, Jeff. Get the hell out of here, you've got the day off. Boys, let him go.
(Security lets Jarrett go, and he leaves to go pack his stuff and leave. Ryder watches Jarrett walk down the hall, and then turns his attention to Norton.)
Ryder: As for you, Scott. Last night, you managed to disappoint millions of fans watching across the United States. You failed to deliver, and you failed to capture the WWAW World Title that you've been wanting since you came into this federation. Yet, I don't think you've got what it takes to take on Jarrett. I think I was a fool for letting you step into the ring with him.
Norton: Are you crazy?!?! Did you not see me break him in half on two seperate occasions?
Ryder: The fact remains. In both cases, you failed to pin your opponent. Tonight, you are going to start at the bottom of the ladder and work your way up. Tonight, you WILL be facing Jesse James in the main event. Enjoy yourself.
(Ryder walks away, but Norton, realizing just how easy this might be after all, has a very big grin on his face. He starts to laugh as the camera fades out on him.)
("Sway" officialy brings us into the opening for All Star Wrestling! The crowd is pumped, and especially after seeing the intensity that this night will contain, there's no telling what will go down! As the fans continue to cheer, we are properly introducted by Trent Rutherford.)
Rutherford: Welcome everyone, to Pensacola, Florida, for All Star Wrestling! You just heard it, tonight, in the main event, it will be Scott Norton against Jesse James, as Norton is going to have to start over again, after failing to defeat Jarrett on two seperate occasions. However, that's not the only action that we are going to be having tonight, so let's go to the ring for the opening match.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first..
("Intergalactic" plays, and the crowd immediately explodes into boos as Al Snow comes down to the ring. He flips the crowd off a little bit, only pissing the fans off some more.)
Smith: Al Snow!
(Snow slides into the ring and taunts the fans while standing on the turnbuckles, arms outstretched in the air. "Blue Monday" plays, and the crowd gives a decent pop to Michael Modest as he comes down to the ring.)
Smith: And his opponent... Michael Modest!
(Modest begins to run towards the ring, and begins to fight him as the match begins.)
Al Snow
vs.
Michael Modest
The Good: This match was a chance for both men to show off their ring talent, and they took perfect advantage of this opportunity.
The Bad: Nothing worth noting.
The Finish: Modest hits a DDT and goes for the cover...
ONE...
TWO...
KICKOUT!!!
Modest drags Snow to his feet, and looks to be going for a Frankensteiner...NO! Snow grabs onto Modest and hits a power bomb! Snow goes for the pin...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE! HE GOT HIM!

After the match, Snow immediately went to the outside and asked for a mic from Robert Smith.
Snow: I'm sorry, Chris! I didn't mean to throw a tantrum on Tuesday. Now, I'm sure we can settle this like--
(Al doesn't get to finish his sentence, as "Sleep Now In The Fire" plays, and the crowd erupts as Chris Jericho makes his entrance.)
Jericho: Avatar, Al, whoever the hell you are, will you please SHUT, THE HELL, UP?!
(The crowd cheers as Snow glares at Jericho, pissed.)
Jericho: Now, Alice--
Snow: Al.
Jericho: Whatever. You said that you wanted to apologize.
Snow: Yeah, in fact, I want you to come down here so we can work this out together.
(The crowd boos, but Jericho seems to be in agreement with this.)
Jericho: Sure, let's work this out.
(Jericho walks down to the ring as the crowd chants "BULLSHIT". Jericho enters the ring and gets in the middle of the ring with Snow.)
Snow: Now, Chris--
(Snow throws down the mic and tries to nail Jericho, but Jericho saw it coming, and blocked it, and hit a right hand of his own. Snow was reeling as Jericho kept throwing right hands, whipped Snow into the turnbuckle and hit a spinning heel kick, nailing Snow in his head. Jericho then grabbed his mic.)
Jericho: That was a bad move, Alice. You could have been let off easily, but now you've pissed me off. I'll see you in the ring, bitch.
(Jericho throws down the mic, as Snow slowly gets to his feet, and Jericho is already leaving ringside.)
Rutherford: So much for that. Al Snow tried to apologize for his tantrum on Tuesday, then wanted Jericho to talk it out with him. However, it was an attempted trap from Al. Didn't work too well, as Jericho attacked Snow and then told Snow that he'd see him in the ring. During the match, I recieved word that Jeff Jarrett HAS left the building, and isn't expected to return, after being given the night off from President Ryder. However, Scott Norton is scheduled to wrestle Jesse James later tonight, as Norton climbs back up the ladder, trying to get to the top of the mountain. That is only one of the matches that is sure to get the crowd fired up, however. This past Tuesday, Steve Corino did, quite possibly, the stupidest thing he's done in his career here in the WWAW, and that's make Goldberg mad. After Corino attacked Goldberg with a baseball bat, Goldberg was said to be very pissed off and wanting to get his hands on Corino. Let's go to the ring for the next match.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first...
("We Be Clubbin'" plays, and the crowd gives a modest pop to Buff Bagwell as he enters.)
Smith: Buff Bagwell!
(Bagwell goes down to the ring, enters the ring, and awaits his opponent. "Come With Me" plays, and the crowd explodes into boos as Steve Corino comes out. Almost automatically, chants of "GOLDBERG" begin to echo throughout the arena. Corino hears these chants, and yells to some of the crowd to "SHUT THE HELL UP!" Corino continues to walk down to the ring, however, trying not to be too distracted by what's going on around him.)
Smith: And his opponent... Steve Corino!
(Corino enters the ring and waits for the match to begin.)
Buff Bagwell
vs.
Steve Corino
The Good: Both men are very athletic, and knew what they were doing in the ring.
The Bad: The finish left something to be desired, beyond a shadow of a doubt.
The Finish: Corino whips Bagwell into the turnbuckle, and clotheslines Buff, slumping Bagwell into the corner. As Corino stomps away at Bagwell, the crowd chants "GOLDBERG" again, distracting Corino, again. Unfortunately, he can't forget that name forever, as "Crush 'Em" plays, and the crowd erupts into cheers as Goldberg starts to walk down to the ring. He's got a chair with him, and no one knows what he's going to do with it, until he unfolds it and sits down...go figure. Corino looks at Goldberg, and then tries to whip Bagwell to another corner, but Bagwell reverses it. Corino goes into the corner, and Bagwell looks to go charge in there. However, the momentum of Bagwell takes him right into the ref, who Corino used as a shield. The crowd booed in disapproval as the ref slumped to the ground, knocked silly from the charging Bagwell. Bagwell didn't know what was going on, and Corino took advantage of the situation, kicking Bagwell in the midsection and hitting a quick DDT. Corino then called for the end, but Bagwell tried to fight off the Old School Expulsion. Fortunately for Bagwell, it worked, and he managed to fight his way out of it. However, Corino came right back and smacked Bagwell in the head with a wicked superkick. As Corino went for the cover, Goldberg got up, grabbed his chair, slid into the ring, folded it up, and blasted Corino with it from behind, nailing Corino in the head. Corino rolled over in pain, and Bagwell rolled over onto Corino for the cover. The ref stirred to his feet, and started to make the count...
ONE...
TWO...
THRE-NO! KICKOUT! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!
Corino kicked out, but barely. Goldberg couldn't believe what he was seeing, and as both men got to their feet, Corino grabbed the chair left over from the chair shot from Goldberg, and looked towards Goldberg. He tried to step through the ropes with the chair to get Goldberg, but Goldberg didn't look scared at all. Bagwell tapped Corino on the shoulder, getting his attention. Corino looked over, only to get a dropkick in his face. The only problem was that the chair was in front of his face, and it put Corino in a lot of pain. The surprising thing is that the ref, who saw all of this, never even bothered to give out a warning. Following the dropkick, Buff covered Corino for the 1-2-3 and the win.
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Buff Bagwell pinned Steve Corino after a dropkick in 0:04:38.
Rating: * 3/4
After the match, Bagwell left the ring, leaving Corino laid out in the middle of the ring with the man who he attacked on Tuesday. By the time that Corino had gotten to his feet, Goldberg was already in the ring, poised and ready to strike. Corino, in a daze, turned around to face Goldberg, and Goldberg started charging. However, Corino, with what sense he had left after getting knocked silly, managed to barely get out of the way of the spear. Goldberg went shoulder first into the ringpost, hitting with a huge SMACK. The crowd OOO'd in disbelief as Goldberg just simply shook it off and chased Corino out of the ring.
Rutherford: Wow! Goldberg attempted to interfere in the match between Buff and Corino, but it took a dropkick into a chair into Corino's face from Buff to finally get the pinfall and the win for Buff! Corino is going to be having a hard time getting out of a situation in which you are stuck with a beast like Goldberg. Now, let's go backstage, to where Jacob Goodman is with Vampiro and The Great Muta.
Backstage Interview
(Jacob Goodman is with Vampiro and The Great Muta.)
Goodman: Vampiro, Muta, there are some things in this company that have been heinous, and shocking. However, your attack on the WWAW Tag Team Champions truly defined yourselves as cowards, not to mention sore losers. What the hell are you guys thinking?
Vampiro: Let me tell you something, Jacob. When we went to Katastrophe on Sunday, we figured that we would be having a cake walk, because we thought that whoever our team was that we were facing, they could never be as good as us. We got too confident, and we lost our titles, in what was one of the best tag matches in the history of this company. Two days later, we lost to them in a rematch without the titles on the line. Now, after that match, do you think we were just going to lay back and say, "Oh well, we'll get another chance someday."? Well, we didn't do that. We decided that it was in the best interest of US, as a team, to beat the crap out of Benoit and Kawada. Tonight, we are facing the Perfect Event, the same 2 guys and girl that apparently don't like you. Well, don't expect any help from the Dark Duo, for the Dark Duo don't believe in trust. We believe in honor.
(Vampiro and The Great Muta walk off.)
Rutherford: Vampiro and Muta against the Perfect Event, that's later tonight, but right now, let's go to commercials.
(Commercials)
Back from commercials, and we immediately go to the ring for the next match.
Smith: This match is a triangle elimination tag team match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Natural One" plays, and the crowd boos as Danny Doring and Roadkill come down to the ring.)
Smith: Danny Doring and Roadkill!
(They enter the ring, and get prepared for their opponents..."Anthem for the Year 2000" plays, and the crowd cheers as Jeff and Matt Hardy come out, accompanied by Lita. They immediately start running down to the ring.)
Smith: And their opponents... accompanied by Lita...the Hardy-
(Smith is cut off as the Hardyz enter the ring and immediately begin to brawl with Doring and Roadkill. "Guilty" plays, and the crowd looks to the entryway, where they see the monsters of Kronic come out. They slowly walk to the ring, as the ref calls for the match to begin.)
Triangle Elimination Tag Team Match
Danny Doring and Roadkill
vs.
The Hardyz
vs.
Kronic
The Good: Though some people may think of it as a distant memory, Danny Doring and Roadkill, along with The Hardyz, did have a match this past Sunday. There is still some "bad blood" between these two teams.
The Bad: Since the focus was Doring and Roadkill against the Hardyz, Kronic just seemed to be the odd team out, which didn't support the results, in the end.
The Finish: As Bryan Clark battles with Jeff Hardy on the outside, Brian Adams joins in. Matt hits the Twist of Fate on Danny Doring, and then goes for a flying legdrop, but Roadkill jumps into the ring and drags Doring out of the way, making Matt land hard. With Matt out, Roadkill hit the Amish Splash and got the 3 count, eliminating the Hardyz.
x Roadkill beat M. Hardy via the Amish Splash in 0:06:13
With the Hardyz gone, Kronic focused their attention on Danny Doring and Roadkill. Adams hit a running boot to the face of Doring, knocking him down, while Clark picked up Roadkill, who was still busy getting up from the Amish Splash. Clark somehow hit the Meltdown on Roadkill, and went for the pin...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE! That's all!
No-Time-Limit-Triangle Match:
Kronic defeated The Hardyz and Danny Doring and Roadkill:
x Roadkill beat M. Hardy via the Amish Splash in 0:06:13
x Clark beat Roadkill via the Meltdown in 0:11:20
Rating: 3/4*
The crowd cheered as Kronic raised their hands in victory, but Doring attacked Adams from behind. Adams was unphased by this weak attack, and Doring got a High Times from Adams and Clark for his troubles.
Rutherford: I think that the team of Adams and Clark is coming into its own once again, the same team that won the WWAW Tag Team Titles to begin with. Right now, let's go backstage with Jacob Goodman.
Backstage Interview
(Jacob Goodman is with Jesse James.)
Goodman: Jesse, tonight, you face Scott Norton, who is now trying to climb back up the ladder to get on top of the WWAW again, after losing twice to Jeff Jarrett, the current WWAW Champion. What does it mean to you to be first.
James: It means that I am not appreciated in this company, it means that the people in the locker rooms don't care about Jesse James. Well damnit, it's time for the Road Dogg to give you something to care about.
(James storms off, pissed off.)
Rutherford: That's intense. Jesse James is looking to finally prove himself as a real competitor in this company. He's got his chance tonight, against Scott Norton, later on tonight. Right now, let's go to the ring for the next match.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("Greyhound Pt. 2" plays, and the crowd gives pretty much no reaction to Rikishi as he comes down to the ring.)
Smith: Rikishi!
(Rikishi enters the ring, and awaits his opponent..."The Game" plays, and the crowd erupts into cheers as Chavo Guerrero Jr. comes out.)
Smith: And his opponent... Chavo Guerrero Jr.!
(Chavo walks down to the ring, and slides in, only to be cut off by Rikishi, starting the match a little early.)
Rikishi Phatu
vs.
Chavo Guerrero Jr.
The Good: Both men have an idea how to wrestle, and that's all that counts.
The Bad: Chavo made Rikishi look like an idiot in that ring, and it showed very well in the opening and closing moments of the match.
The Finish: Chavo went for the Tornado DDT, but Mantaur ran down to the ring with a chair, cracked it across Chavo's back, and for the second time tonight, the ref let it go. Rikishi somehow reversed a setup for the Tornado DDT into the Rikishi Driver. Rikishi gets the pin and the win.
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Rikishi Phatu pinned Chavo Guerrero Jr. with the Rikishi Driver in 0:05:50.
Rating: * 3/4
After the match, Mantaur bolted into the ring, and just started to go at it on Chavo. Corino ran down and joined in, but only to have Goldberg run down and clean out Mantaur and Corino. They both had smiles on their faces as they walked off.
Rutherford: Right now, let's go backstage.
Backstage Interview
(The Perfect Event are...with themselves.)
Stasiak: See, folks, Jacob Goodman was supposed to interview us tonight, but since he's a little bitch, then I guess it's our time. Well, let's just say this. Vampiro and Muta, you two may see yourself as bad, or badasses, but there is no way to prove that unless you step in the ring with the two best physically fit wrestlers in this company. So step up to the challenge, and we'll just have to see how manly you both are. And allow me to guarantee this. You can't get a girl like Katie, and you never will, so don't even try.
(Perfect Event walks off and to the ring for their match.)
Rutherford: Right now, let's go to commercials. When we return, it's the Perfect Event against Vampiro and The Great Muta. So don't change that channel.
(Commercials)
As we return from commercials, we immediately go to the ring.
Smith: This match is a tag match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("The Stroke" plays, and the crowd boos like crazy as the Perfect Event enter the arena. They give some of the fans a piece of their mind, and the fans aren't afraid to give something back.)
Smith: The Perfect Event!
(Stasiak and Palumbo slide into the ring together, and then get ready for their opponents..."House of Horrors" plays, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction, as the former WWAW Tag Team Champions come down to the ring.)
Smith: And their opponents...Vampiro and The Great Muta!
(Vamp and Muta slide into the ring, and stare down the Perfect Event before the match.)
Perfect Event
vs.
Vampiro and The Great Muta
The Good: Both teams have great athletic ability. There's no way you can say that one team is a lot better than the other, because they are almost perfectly equal.
The Bad: Nothing. It was a well-rounded match, from start to finish.
The Finish: Vampiro ran into Katie Haynes on the outside, after being dumped over the top from a Stasiak clothesline. Haynes seemed a little scared, but Vampiro tried to comfort her. That didn't work, as Haynes slapped the taste out of Vampiro's mouth. That was a mistake, as Vamp dragged her to her feet, and almost threw her into the ringsteps, until Stasiak came from behind and attacked him. However, in the ring, Stasiak couldn't pay attention to Muta hitting the Moonsault on his partner and getting the win for the former WWAW Tag Team Champions...
Vampiro and The Great Muta defeated The Perfect Event when Muta pinned Palumbo
with the Moonsault in 0:07:33.
Rating: * 1/2
The crowd cheered after the match, as Katie and Stasiak just looked on in disbelief. After Vampiro and Muta had long left, Palumbo and Stasiak had a few words, but Katie managed to create peace between the two, fortunately.
Rutherford: That could have been an explosive conclusion to a good match like that. Fortunately, Katie Haynes intervened before anything happened that is a catastrophe happened. Up next is our main event, but I recieved word during our most recent commercial break that a WWAW official has found that Jeff Jarrett is not in his hotel room, where he should be, considering he was given the night off from WWAW President Jake Ryder. We will keep you updated on the situation as it happens. Very soon is the main event between Scott Norton and Jesse James. Now, before you ask why Norton isn't facing people like Mantaur or Chris Jericho, let me refresh your memory as to what happened. Jarrett beat Norton, twice, and then Jarrett accused Norton of attacking him after the second Heavyweight Title match, when the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Jarrett was laid out and bloody. Jarrett almost got into a scuffle earlier tonight with Norton, but President Ryder broke it up. Now, that leads to tonight. Though Jarrett has apparently escaped his hotel room, Norton is still facing Jesse James, and that is going to go down... right now.
Smith: This match is the main event, scheduled for one fall. Introducing first...
("The Kings" plays, and the crowd gives little reaction to Jesse James as he comes down to the ring.)
Smith: Jesse James!
(James enters the ring and awaits his opponent..."Fuel" plays, and the crowd explodes in the biggest pop of the night for one man: Scott Norton. Norton comes down to the ring.)
Smith: And his opponent...Scott Norton!
(Norton enters the ring, stands on one of the turnbuckles and raises his hands in the air, drawing a big reaction from the section of the crowd he did the gesture to. However, James attacked Norton from behind, starting the match early.)
Main Event:
Jesse James
vs.
Scott Norton
The Good: Though there isn't much of a story behind this match, there is still a reason for it, which makes it alright to be shown as the main event of a secondary show such as this one.
The Bad: Jesse James is Jesse James, no matter which way you cut it. Oh, and the finisher wasn't that great, either.
The Finish: Norton whips James into the ropes, Norton bounces off the opposite set of ropes, they charge at each other... DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Both men are down on the ground. As they get to their feet, Norton kicks James in the midsection and calls for the Powerbomb. However, with Norton facing the WWAW-Tron, Jarrett sneaks in from the crowd, slides into the ring, guitar in hand, and doesn't have the guitar when it is broken over Norton's head. The ref, who has made bad calls all night, actually called for the DQ here, giving Scott Norton the win.
Scott Norton defeated Jesse James by disqualification in 0:11:48.
Rating: DUD
After the match, an irate James went after Jarrett, but Jarrett fended him off, hit a low blow followed up with The Stroke. However, Norton then came over, kneed Jarrett in the head, and then hit the Powerbomb out of nowhere on Jarrett, generating a pretty big pop. And then...
???: HEY! LOOK UP HERE, JARRETT!!
(Jarrett turns his head up to the WWAW-Tron to see that there is a shadow figure on there.)
???: I'm coming to get you, Jeff. This month is going to be the worst month of your life, simply because I'm gonna get so involved with it, that you're gonna hate it. Enjoy your life while you can, because I'm going to be making it a living hell. Have a nice day.
(The show ends with Jarrett staring at the WWAW-Tron in shock, with a gaping jaw, etc.)

The Good: Benoit and Kawada are crazy over. With every offensive move of either team, either they cheered, or they booed. There was never a silent part in the entire match, it was high intensity.
The Bad: It's doubtful whether you should be flaunting your tag champs like that.

("House of Horrors" played, and a mixed reaction is given to Vampiro and The Great Muta as they come down to the ring.)
Smith: Vampiro and The Great Muta!
(Vamp and Muta enter the ring and await their opponents.... "Land of Confusion" plays, and the crowd pops for the newly crowned WWAW Tag Team Champions, Chris Benoit and Toshiaki Kawada as they come down to the ring.)

(Benoit and Kawada enter the ring, and staredown their opposition.)
Non-Title Match
Vampiro and The Great Muta
vs.
Chris Benoit and Toshiaki Kawada
The Good: Just like on Sunday, this match did not disappoint the fans. There was lots of technical, high-flying, tag team, and power wrestling Also resembling Sunday, these two teams went the distance, although it was a little shorter than Sunday's match.
The Bad: You have got to be kidding me. There was nothing wrong with this match, except for the fact that we can't always have a match like this one.
The Finish: Benoit hit a German Suplex on Muta, and went for the cover, but Vampiro broke it up. Kawada came across and hit a brutal clothesline on Vampiro, and then picked him up, hitting him with a Tiger suplex. Meanwhile, Muta went for a misting of Benoit as Benoit was distracted thanks to Kawada's attack on Vampiro. However, Benoit ducked the mist, and went low, sweeping the legs from under Muta. Benoit rushed over and locked on the Crippler Crossface, as Kawada continued to kick Vampiro on the ground. Muta tapped, and the crowd went wild as Benoit and Kawada picked up the win!

Benoit and Kawada stopped what they were doing after the match, and calmly walked off with their belts, showing intensity. However, Muta and Vampiro began to stalk them up the ramp, and once they got to the top of the ramp, Kawada and Benoit finally noticed Vampiro and Muta, and attacked them! They went back and forth, but Vamp and Muta got the advantage! Vampiro hit the Nail in the Coffin on Kawada, making Kawada's head bounce off the cold, hard, unforgiving steel. Together, Vampiro and Muta worked over Benoit, wearing him down, and then dragging him to the edge of the elevated ramp. Vamp started to climb the scaffolding near the WWAW-Tron, used to set up light fixtures, as Muta lifted Benoit up on his shoulders. This happened in front of Vampiro, and Vampiro leaped off the fixture, grabbed Benoit and drove him down with a facebuster. However, the two went THROUGH the ramp, breaking it and sending them collapsing to the floor below. Muta, shocked by this happening, looked down into the chasm, and Vampiro popped out! Muta and Vampiro laughed, successfully taking out the WWAW Tag Team Champions.
Smith: This match is scheduled for one fall, and is for the WWAW World Heavyweight Title. Introducing first...
