Match Card

NWGP Heavyweight Championship
Ken Shamrock (c) vs. Bill Goldberg
Surely The Berg has to win, putting the company even more on the map with one of the biggest stars in history holding the belt.

NWGP Tag Team Championship
Curt Hennig & Bryan Danielson (c) vs. Eddy Guerrero & Rey Mysterio, Jr.
Don't think we need a change up here yet. Hennig and Danielson as champs is still pretty new

Steel Cage Match
Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles
Steel cage so Joe can't get involved feels like heel finally gets his comeuppance and AJ gets the big win.

4-Way Ladder Match for the NWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship
Kid Kash (c) vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Amazing Red vs. Sonny Siaki
Do it. I dare you.

No Holds Barred Match
CM Punk vs. Sabu
Normally I'd be all about the younger talent going over, but Punk is still pretty green at this point. Could go with a Sabu win to push Punk further to the extremes of his Straight Edge personality.

Strap Match
America's Most Wanted (Chris Harris & James Storm) vs. The Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe)
I like them better.

Adam Pearce vs. Ron Killings
Feels like you're building Pearce up for something big eventually, so he wins this placeholder match

NWGP WrestleWar
December 15, 2002

Adam Pearce vs. Ron Killings
A solid opener to NWGP’s biggest show of the year saw Killings use his experience to his advantage to control the majority of the match but Pearce fought back and managed to hit Killings with a Piledriver to get the pinfall victory, perhaps the biggest of his career to date.
Winner: Adam Pearce via pinfall

No Holds Barred Match
CM Punk vs. Sabu
This match epitomized what ECW used to be about, it was violent, and weapons were strewn all over the ring and the two even fought into the audience on several occasions. Punk was busted open early after a steel chair shot and bled profusely throughout the match. Sabu was put threw a table and smacked his head off the concrete floor at one point. The ending saw Sabu jumping off the stage onto Punk who lay prone on the floor to get the pinfall.
Winner: Sabu via pinfall

NWGP Tag Team Championship
Curt Hennig & Bryan Danielson © vs. Eddy Guerrero & Rey Mysterio, Jr.
An extremely fast paced affair that saw both teams flying all around the ring but it slowed down with Hennig using his technical wrestling skills to get the two cruiserweights to the mat but the two fought him off. One of the better sequences saw Guerrero and Danielson exchange holds and nearfalls. The ending of the match came when Hennig hit Mysterio, Jr. with the Hennig-Plex to score the pinfall to retain the NWGP Tag Team Championship.
Winners: Curt Hennig & Bryan Danielson via pinfall, still NWGP Tag Team Champions

Steel Cage Match
Christopher Daniels vs. AJ Styles
Both men used the cage as it was intended, as a weapon. Styles was bloody within the first five minutes as Daniels dominated him. Samoa Joe paced back and forth on the outside. Styles managed to fight his way back into the match and nearly won after a Styles Clash. As Styles began to control for several minutes, Samoa Joe began getting increasingly agitated and began ripping at the cage. He approached the door and ripped it straight off the hinges. Styles was oblivious to this until he was assaulted from behind. Daniels laughed in the corner as Joe destroyed Styles, allowing him to walk through the door to get the win.
Winner: Christopher Daniels via escape

Strap Match
America’s Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) vs. The Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark Briscoe)
An absolute bloody brawl between two teams that very clearly hate one another. There’s not much else to say about it as the ending came when the referee called it off as Jay and Mark were being choked out by Storm and Harris and could not keep their arm up as the referee checked consciousness.
Winners: America’s Most Wanted (James Storm & Chris Harris) via referee stoppage

Ladder Match for the NWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship
Kid Kash © vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Amazing Red vs. Sonny Siaki
Siaki was pulled from the match before it began due to injury and was not replaced meaning that it was now a three-way dance. All three men pulled out all the stops attempting to win the championship and flew all over the rid. Kash hit Red with a Brainbuster onto a ladder. As Kash scaled the ladder and looked incredibly close to victory but Lynn pushed the ladder over and sent him crashing to the floor. Lynn would scale the ladder and retrieve the belt become the new champion.
Winner: Jerry Lynn, new NWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion

NWGP Heavyweight Championship
Ken Shamrock © vs. Bill Goldberg
A surprising squash as Goldberg ran through Shamrock with three Spears before hitting him with a huge Jackhammer to get the pinfall and become the new champion.
Winner: Bill Goldberg via pinfall, new NWGP Heavyweight Champion​
