NAWA Glory 11/3/06
Tonight: The NAWA Women’s Championship will be on the line when the monster that is Awesome Kong challenges champion Gail Kim. Also, two former NAWA World Champions square off with Christopher Daniels taking on Raven. Plus, the NAWA World Tag Team Champions Jerry Lynn and the Gambler take on the Briscoe Brothers in a non title match and much more tonight on Glory.
Harry Harris is out from the back and he says last week, he thought he had the NAWA World Championship within his grasp. He had Teddy Hart on the ropes several times but in his obsession to capture the NAWA World Title, he made one minor mistake and Teddy Hart took advantage of it. He was too focused in making Hart tap out, that he lost his focus on where his shoulders was. Harris says at the end of the day, he will become the NAWA World Champion once again but Harris has another problem. That problem was of course with the NAWA Television Champion Samoa Joe. Harris puts over Joe as one of the top competitors of the New Age Wrestling Alliance, with an impressive undefeated streak. However, Harris is not going to be intimidated by Joe’s power. Harris wants a one on one match with Samoa Joe and he wants it right here tonight. The fans pop big for that match and Harris says he’s not leaving, until he gets his answer.
Out comes Samoa Joe and Joe holds the NAWA Television Title Belt and nods, accepting the challenge. The fans are getting excited, we’re going to see these two great competitors fight one on one but out comes the NAWA Owner Larry Sweeney, along with a wall of armed security guards as well as the Rottweilers, Matt Bentley, and Ron Killings. Sweeney says that if Harris and Joe want to fight, they’re going to do it when it will put money in Sweeney’s pocket and that night will be at Truth or Consequences. Sweeney says the fans must be idiots to think that he would give this match away on free television. He also ejects both Harris and Joe from the building, saying that since they aren’t booked tonight, they won’t be in the building and if Sweeney hears word of them starting something, he will suspend them both without pay.
Joe is lead off and Harris stands in the ring. In ten days, Samoa Joe puts his NAWA Television Title along with his undefeated streak on the line against Harry Harris.

Shelley says that he was in the shadow of Austin Aries, who was selfish and had a high opinion of himself, so that tag team had problems, but now Shelley and Sabin will unite to take the NAWA Tag Team division by storm.

We see Abyss with his arms wrapped up, growling and grunting, as Larry Sweeney stands, talking about how Raven thought he could get inside of Abyss’s head, just like he could every other one of his rivals, but all he did was wake a sleeping monster. Sweeney says that Abyss is not like any other man. He can’t full distinguish between pain and pleasure. To Abyss, getting slammed on glass, thumbtacks, and mangled with barbed wire is like what sex is to many men and women. Sweeney says that there is nothing that Raven can to torment Abyss. Abyss is an engine of pure destruction and the pain only inspires him to go on, to respond in kind. Sweeney says that Raven might have outsmarted himself this time. He says that if Raven wants to take on Abyss, he has a match at Truth or Consequences, but its not going to be pretty. In fact, Raven might be crushed, his wings clipped, completely wiped off of the face of the earth. Abyss rips his bandages off, showing the ugly scars on his arm and Sweeney says that this will be quaint compared to what Abyss might do with Raven.

Or Maybe More? Stylish vows that Teddy Hart can never pin his shoulders to the canvas once during the entire sixty minutes that they will be in the ring and that he will become the NAWA World Champion once again.

Hart does have talent, Stylish grudgingly admits, but he’s no Miles Stylish.

We look at Miles Stylish, who talks about how he was born to be the NAWA World Champion. He talks about how Teddy Hart is the luckiest champion in wrestling history, how he would not be anywhere if it was not for a last name. Stylish says that it will be a sixty minute Iron Man Match at Truth or Consequences between the two men. He asks Hart how many times does he think Stylish can pin him in an hour? Three? Four? Five? Or Maybe More? Stylish vows that Teddy Hart can never pin his shoulders to the canvas once during the entire sixty minutes that they will be in the ring and that he will become the NAWA World Champion once again. Stylish says that Hart doesn’t have the tools to go the distance, after Hart just narrowly escaped with the belt on a technicality. Hart does have talent, Stylish grudgingly admits, but he’s no Miles Stylish. Stylish also comments that he’ll take care of Kurt Angle and prove that Angle’s gold medals don’t matter in the New Age Wrestling Alliance, the NAWA World Title is the only gold that is worth anything.

We are back and Larry Sweeney says that Awesome Kong wants to get her hands on both Stylish and Kim, along with winning the NAWA Women’s Championship, so that will happen in a Triple Threat Match at Truth or Consequences, when all three women collide. Sweeney says that Gail Kim was lucky tonight but her luck is going to run out at Truth or Consequences.
We cut with a few words from Teddy Hart. He talks about how Miles Stylish doesn’t respect him at all and perhaps he has a point. Yet at the End of Days, he had Stylish’s number several times throughout that match. He would have pinned him whether or not Kurt Angle counted the pin. He has blown many chances in the past but he’s reached the top of the mountain and is not going to let go. He will beat Stylish in the Sixty Minute Iron Man Match. We see Hart get ready to prepare for perhaps the biggest match of his life at Truth or Consequences, when he puts the NAWA World Title on the line on the line against Miles Stylish.
