RAVEN NOWF Intercontinental Champion Jan. 18, 1998 - Feb. 14, 1998
It was the main event of the NOWF's biggest show of all-time, No Turning
Back, where NOWF Intercontinental Champion Steve Augustine, Raven, and Greg Mills were set to battle it out for
the Intercontinental Championship, and more importantly, to settle months of
animosity that had formed between the three. Falls Count Anywhere, pinfalls
only -- this match would truly settle things. Except Mills didn't show up.
Augustine and Raven had the war fans expected, to be sure, but the semi-outdoor
Texas Stadium held more surprises for them. It began to rain during the match,
and a freak bolt of lightning virtually blinded both men. As they regained their
sight, they realized that Mills was in the ring with them. Mills and Augustine
battled it out as Lodi worked on reviving Raven. Once Mills and Augustine
had virtually knocked each other out, Raven hit the ring to survey the damage.
Augustine very nearly got back to his feet but was grabbed from behind by Taz,
who was looking like he'd been living in a cave for the past two months. As he locked
the Tazmission on Augustine, Raven surprisingly helped Mills up and the two began
stomping Augustine, culminating in a DDT onto the title belt for the win by Raven.
We would later learn that this was not, in fact, Taz, but The Tasmaniac, an
imposter hired by Raven, but for that moment, the three biggest superstars in
NOWF history were united as the New Breed ... and woe be unto any who stand
against them.
