NAWA Women’s Championship Match
Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong©(w/Larry Sweeney)
Mia Stylish who was supposed to be in this match but was injured by Kong, is watching this match from home. Gail Kim attacks Kong right at the bell with reckless abandon, sticking and moving when she can, because she knows if Awesome Kong gets her hands around her, it’s all over. Kim leapfrogs over Kong and dropkicks her twice from behind, before hitting a sliding leg trip and a rolling falling elbow smash but Kong pulls herself to her feet. Kim is beating on the back of the head of Kong some more and into the ropes. Leaping back elbow smash right in the corner and Kong is stunned, but Kim returns fire with a huge kick to the face. A series of kicks to the face rattle Kong but Kong puts the breaks up and kicks Kim right in the ribs. Series of chops rattle the challenge for the NAWA Women’s Championship and Kong follows up her attack with a savage double underhook suplex.

Kong tortures Gail Kim some more with a number of submission holds. Bow and arrow submission hold including, but Gail Kim will not quick. She fights back from underneath with forearm strikes, desperation, and Kim slides underneath the legs of Kong, grabbing Kong’s arms and using them to trip up the NAWA Women’s Champion. Kong flips onto her back and Kim is now on the ring apron. Springboard dropkick and Kong staggers back, before falling right to the ropes.

She sits on Kim’s chest and gets a two count, before Kim scissors her legs around Kong’s arms and rolls her into a cradle for a nearfall. Kong’s eyes widen and she beats on Gail Kim with savage brutality. The fans are booing and then cheering when Gail Kim continues to fight out from underneath Kong! Gail Kim goes for a rana but Kong catches her and a huge Awesome Bomb brings Gail Kim down! Kong makes the cover but Gail Kim has the ropes just before three.
The announcers wonder at this point if Gail Kim has a deathwish or if her never say die attitude is coming in. Kong picks up the challenger, before hoisting her onto the shoulders. Torture Rack is applied to Gail Kim, folding her small body right over the massive shoulders of Kong. Gail Kim thrashes in pain, screaming in agony but she is making one last ditch effort to fight out, landing on her feet. In one fluid motion, she grabs Kong’s head, putting her feet underneath Kong’s chin and jaws Kong’s jaw with both feet in a modified version of a jawbreaker, using the feet instead of the head. Kong staggers for a moment, before she explodes onto Gail Kim with a spinning back fist. Kim was hit right in the temple with that one and she flops to the canvas, eyes nearly rolling into the back of her head. Kong covers Gail Kim, almost lazily, to score the pin.
Awesome Kong pinned Gail Kim after a spinning back fist in 0:12:34.

(Awesome Kong retained the NAWA Women's Title.)
You could have counted to one hundred, as Awesome Kong put Gail Kim down for the pin. Just one shot, she rendered Gail Kim completely unconscious. Gail Kim is being checked on, as Kong drapes the NAWA Women’s Championship over her shoulder, walking down the ramp. Who will try and stand up to Awesome Kong next? Perhaps we’ll find up all too soon. Mia Stylish is obviously chomping at the bit for another match with Kong but it will be at least a month before we know what her status will be and when she’ll be cleared to wrestle.
Richard Ramos Ricardo, NAWA Commissioner makes his way down to the ringside area for a huge announcement. The return of the Cruiser Cup Tournament, which last took place in 2003, for a shot at the NAWA Cruiserweight Title, with competitors from promotions all across the world competing. Ricardo reminds us that the winner of the only other tournament was Teddy Hart, who translated his tournament success to a run in this company, and is now the NAWA World Champion. Ricardo announces that it will be an eight man single elimination tournament. We could be taking a look at whoever the winner of that tournament will face when Homicide takes on Bryan Danielson for the NAWA Cruiserweight Title.

(Sederick Skyhawk retained the NAWA Television Title.)
An amazing NAWA Television Title Match, but Sederick Skyhawk snuck in the back door and remains champion. Skyhawk takes the belt, as both Daniels and Styles are out, both men having to compete in a matter of minutes in Luck of the Draw, hopefully neither gets an early number and has some time to rest. Skyhawk straps the belt around his waist. We were almost certain that we were going to have a new champion several times but Skyhawk picked his spots and is still the NAWA Television Champion.
On February 12th 2007, the New Age Wrestling Alliance returns to Pay Per View, with Blinded By Fury. All of the superstars of the New Age Wrestling Alliance will no doubt be trying to make a splash.

“Viva Las Vegas” by Elvis Presley plays and the Gambler walks out. The Gambler is most certainly a sentimental favorite, but the cards have not been too kind to him tonight, having drawn number two.

We’ve got the final four, with Miles Stylish, the Gambler, Sederick Skyhawk, and Harry Harris, one of these four men will be getting an NAWA World Title Shot and that was a bit of an opportunistic move on the part of Harry Harris, but it is every man for himself and Abyss just slams Joe on the steel steps with Joe fighting back, breaking the choke with a headbutt.

Harris both completes the Gambler’s elimination of Miles Stylish and eliminates the Gambler!

We are down to two, with Sederick Skyhawk and Harry Harris, and Skyhawk made his boasts that he was going to win the Luck of the Draw, but he could very well back them up and he immediately attacks Harry Harris with a series of leg kicks. Skyhawk throws Harris right into the corner and running elbow smash right into the corner, with Skyhawk following right through with a DDT.

Skyhawk strikes a pose but he has got to eliminate Harris. Skyhawk now picks up Harris and grabs him, trying to throw him to the outside, but Harris only goes right between the second and third ropes. Skyhawk misjudged his trajectory and he thinks he launched Harris right over the top rope, with Harris being allowed to enter back into the ring. Skyhawk immediately goes to correct the error, beating on Harris, and now he puts Harris right into a fireman’s carry, before he dumps him right over the top rope.
Harry Harris hangs on, skinning the cat! Skyhawk walks over, to try and push Harris out, but Harris counters with a triangle choke! Harris has a triangle choke applied to Skyhawk while he is hanging upside down. Harris has got to be careful, if his grip slips, he is out of there. The fans are going nuts, as Skyhawk is trying to fight, but the ropes give some added leverage to Harris, causing him to black out quicker. Skyhawk is slumped right over the top rope and Harris grabs Skyhawk, before snapping him over the top rope with a Judo Throw to score the win. For the Second year in a row, Harry Harris has won the Luck of the Draw Match!

(Teddy Hart retained the NAWA World Title.)
Teddy Hart keeps the NAWA World Title and Kurt Angle cannot believe it. Angle pops up, as Hart is handed the belt, on the canvas, favoring his ankle, with Angle helping Hart to his feet and shaking his hand but mouths “next time” and Hart, pained, but says “we’ll see.” That was a close championship match and had it gone differently, we might have had a new NAWA World Champion. We see Harry Harris standing at the top of the ramp, applauding that classic match with the fans and puts towards the NAWA World Title Belt and them to himself and nods. Harris gets that title shot coming on at March 25th at Reality Check. We are out of time. See you on Glory.

Torture Rack is applied to Gail Kim, folding her small body right over the massive shoulders of Kong. Gail Kim thrashes in pain, screaming in agony but she is making one last ditch effort to fight out, landing on her feet. In one fluid motion, she grabs Kong’s head, putting her feet underneath Kong’s chin and jaws Kong’s jaw with both feet in a modified version of a jawbreaker, using the feet instead of the head. Kong staggers for a moment, before she explodes onto Gail Kim with a spinning back fist. Kim was hit right in the temple with that one and she flops to the canvas, eyes nearly rolling into the back of her head. Kong covers Gail Kim, almost lazily, to score the pin.

(Awesome Kong retained the NAWA Women's Title.)
You could have counted to one hundred, as Awesome Kong put Gail Kim down for the pin. Just one shot, she rendered Gail Kim completely unconscious. Gail Kim is being checked on, as Kong drapes the NAWA Women’s Championship over her shoulder, walking down the ramp. Who will try and stand up to Awesome Kong next? Perhaps we’ll find up all too soon. Mia Stylish is obviously chomping at the bit for another match with Kong but it will be at least a month before we know what her status will be and when she’ll be cleared to wrestle.

(Sederick Skyhawk retained the NAWA Television Title.)
An amazing NAWA Television Title Match, but Sederick Skyhawk snuck in the back door and remains champion. Skyhawk takes the belt, as both Daniels and Styles are out, both men having to compete in a matter of minutes in Luck of the Draw, hopefully neither gets an early number and has some time to rest. Skyhawk straps the belt around his waist. We were almost certain that we were going to have a new champion several times but Skyhawk picked his spots and is still the NAWA Television Champion.
On February 12th 2007, the New Age Wrestling Alliance returns to Pay Per View, with Blinded By Fury. All of the superstars of the New Age Wrestling Alliance will no doubt be trying to make a splash.
It is now time for the Luck of the Draw Match. The rules are simple, thirty men are in, two men start, a new entry every two minutes, the winner will receive an NAWA World Title Shot at Reality Check on March 25th 2007. Let’s see who drew number one.
“Sharp Dressed Man” by ZZ Top plays and the crowd is pleased, as Miles Stylish has entered at number one. Stylish has pretty much claimed that he was the odds on favorite, and now, entering the match at number one, he’s going to be having his back against the wall. Stylish gets on the microphone, telling the fans to take a moment and laugh it up, because an hour from now, he will have the last laugh. They might think that at number one, he is at a disadvantage, but he’s going to show them. Stylish says that whether he was number one, thirty, or any number in between, he was going to win the Luck of the Draw and he calls out the first man that he’ll have to deal with.
“Viva Las Vegas” by Elvis Presley plays and the Gambler walks out. The Gambler is most certainly a sentimental favorite, but the cards have not been too kind to him tonight, having drawn number two. Miles Stylish and the Gambler have had many matches in the past, they know each other very well, and they will be entering the Luck of the Draw to start for the first two minutes.

Skyhawk strikes a pose but he has got to eliminate Harris. Skyhawk now picks up Harris and grabs him, trying to throw him to the outside, but Harris only goes right between the second and third ropes.

Skyhawk immediately goes to correct the error, beating on Harris, and now he puts Harris right into a fireman’s carry, before he dumps him right over the top rope.
Harry Harris hangs on, skinning the cat! Skyhawk walks over, to try and push Harris out, but Harris counters with a triangle choke! Harris has a triangle choke applied to Skyhawk while he is hanging upside down. Harris has got to be careful, if his grip slips, he is out of there. The fans are going nuts, as Skyhawk is trying to fight, but the ropes give some added leverage to Harris, causing him to black out quicker. Skyhawk is slumped right over the top rope and Harris grabs Skyhawk, before snapping him over the top rope with a Judo Throw to score the win.

(Teddy Hart retained the NAWA World Title.)
Teddy Hart keeps the NAWA World Title and Kurt Angle cannot believe it. Angle pops up, as Hart is handed the belt, on the canvas, favoring his ankle, with Angle helping Hart to his feet and shaking his hand but mouths “next time” and Hart, pained, but says “we’ll see.” That was a close championship match and had it gone differently, we might have had a new NAWA World Champion. We see Harry Harris standing at the top of the ramp, applauding that classic match with the fans and puts towards the NAWA World Title Belt and them to himself and nods. Harris gets that title shot coming on at March 25th at Reality Check. We are out of time. See you on Glory.
