ECW Wrestling on TNN: Episode 8
October 15th, 1999
Houma, Louisiana
The show opens with Chris Candido and Tammy-Lynn Sytch coming down to the ring, Lance Storm and Dawn Marie quickly come out to join them. Lance says he saw Tammy’s little confession and it’s good to see that she realized that she’s a has been at 26. But, the rest of us known it was a year ago at 25. And as for Candido, he had some talent, not a lot. Just enough for him to carry him for a year. Lance says there's not room for has been in the company anymore. Dawn calls Tammy a prostitute so Tammy chases her all around the ring as the men fight.
David Kash vs Tom Marquez
This goes all of 40 seconds until Steve Corino and Rhino, both in Falcon’s jersey’s come out. RHINO DEBUTS THE GORE!!!! And GORE’S BOTH MEN FOR THE NO CONTEST!
Steve Corino says to imagine that we have two Saint’s players here tonight. Rhino says he came to kick some fucking ass and he's gonna kick the shit out of both of them. He goes after them in the first row, but security pulls them apart. Tommy Dreamer comes out to calm the Saints players down, when Corino says hasn’t everyone had enough of Tommy playing hero. He says he would destroy Tommy Dreamer, so the ref who's still here rings the bell.
Steve Corino (w/Jack Victory) vs. Tommy Dreamer (w/Francine)
Crowd brawl to start which isn’t shot well because there are way too many people and for some reason, they didn’t have a handheld with them so we got this wide show of the whole thing. They brawl back to the ring, and Tommy catches Corino on the top rope. He pulls down his back and nails him on the ass with a steel chair, a funny spot as Corino sets up a chair and looks like he’s about to do the drop toe hold but instead of that he sits down and applies a front headlock. Dreamer manages to fight out, but as he goes for the DDT Corino drops him on his back on a steel chair. The ref gets in Corino’s face about working on Dreamer’s back so Corino punches him out. That allows Dreamer to hit a spicolli driver, but instead of going for the cover he yells he gonna break his back. Tommy is a dick and uses the Tarantula, so Tajiri obviously comes out to interfere. He runs Francine to the back, but Raven comes out. He hits Tajiri with the Evenflow, and Tommy hits one on Jack Victory. Raven then hit Dreamer with another Evenflow. Corino goes to cover, but Dreamer counters the pin and rolls through pinning Corino. Raven sarcastic claps for him. **1/2 - **3/4
Backstage: Fonzie is with Sabu, Fonzie says the ban is lifted and sooner than later on TNN we will get to see someone will be victimized by Sabu.
Lance Strom (w/Dawn Marie) vs. Chris Candido (w/Tammy-Lyn Sytch)
Just like a lot of the ECW mid-card guys, this has the move, for move, counter for counter for counter spots. Fast paced stuff. This being 6 minutes is really good too as they cut all the filler shit. Candido finally cut out his god awful do a move, taunt/pander then do another move, he’s super aggressive and takes this serious. This goes a few more minutes until both woman get involved which leads to a catfight, Jason and Justin run out. Jason saves Dawn, which allows Dawn to nail Tammy with the loaded purse. As the ref is dealing with Tammy Lance sends Chis into the ropes where Credible nails him in the back with a cane and Lance finishes him off with a credible piledriver for the win. **3/4
ECW World Heavyweight Championship: Rod Price (w/Raging Cajun) vs. Mike Awesome (w/Judge Jeff Jones)
Another really Awesome, Awesome squash match. Mike allows Rod to get some shit in before he Awesomebombs Rod through a table in the ring, Raging gets in so Mike Awesomebombs him through a table on the floor. Mike then heads up and hits the big splash off the top for the win. **
Pulp Fiction
The Impact Players are in the back, Dawn says if yout watching for the just boobs and no brains show, well you better get your thrill right now. Because it’s all gonna end soon, when I run them out of town. Lance says its nothing personal, just business.
Devito, Angel, and Skull Von Krush yell that they're Da Baldies
lmao
Raven is on Bourbon Street at 5:30 am. He says there are debauchery and decadence all around him and as he looks at the wave of people following him, sinners each one, he realizes that it's better to have a condemned soul than to have no soul at all.
Ms. Congeniality clips her toenails, and it bothers Doring while he's cutting a promo. He says Chris Chetti didn't listen because he told him to double cross Nova, but he didn't listen. Now he's laid out and hurt and they set him up. Nova is all alone now, and now he's going to do what they tell him to do and if he doesn't then they're going to lay him up in a hospital bed next to Chetti. Roadkill yells CHICKENS!!!!
Raven says to look at these fools following him. He says these are Tommy's people and for all their sins and problems and hatreds, he feels Tommy's pain.
Balls and Axl are back together and Axl says this is the predominant tag team in ECW and the hottest and most extreme tag team, and challenge anyone to test them.
New Jack is in the parking lot and says when he was five years old, he watched his daddy shoot his momma while she carried him in her arms and at that point, he made a decision in his life. Give him the opportunity, or he'll take it.
RVD says it's November again and everybody's counting on their favorite wrestler to defend his belt and asks Fonzie who he's wrestling.
Jerry Lynn says that in his two years in ECW, he didn't let a broken foot, pelvic bone, and he sure as hell won't let broken ribs stop him. Steve Corino walks by and says to stop his whining and work hurt like everyone else. He leaves and Lynn says he doesn't take shit. He goes to find him, but when he charges, TAJIRI COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND KICKS HIM IN THE RIBS AND THEN THE HEAD. YEAH. Corino says he's not quite the hardcore hero now.
Raven says this is it and says this is his home now. Sinners, one and all, and nobody cares or worries. They don't care about anyone, they just want to leech onto their stardom. He's lived his life and he deserves everything he gets.
RVD tells Fonzie to book him against Sabu.
New Jack says he ain't gonna left no weights to get back in fighting shape. No, he's gonna commit some crime and run from the police to get in shape.
Tajiri cuts a promo in Japanese.
New Jack says he knows nothing but hardcore violence and beating ass until he gets tired, and says he's on a mission.
RVD says it doesn't matter who he fights because he always wins and gives the fans what they pay to see, Mr. PPV. He says it doesn't matter who Fonzie gets because he's the Whole Fucking Show.
I guess this took place during the summer because Joey is still playing off the puzzled why would Rhino join Corino when Corino is like 1 year older than him, and he also has that terrible looking red attire on. Really fun little match, Rhino looks solid on offense but Daniels really shines, he hits the sweet no hands springboard plancha to the floor, the same move TAKA does just not as pretty. Rhino has some good stuff, unfortunately, some of it gets lost as that piece of shit straw hat guy tries to get himself over and jaws with some fans. The match ends when Rhino misses a splash off the top and Daniels hits the not named yet Angels Wings, but Jack has the ref distracted allowing Corino to slide in and nail Daniels with a super kick. Rhino followed that with a powerbomb and cover for the win. **1/2
