WCW Monday Night Nitro
November 18, 2002
Continental Airlines Arena
East Rutherford, NJ

Triple H walks into the NWO locker room, where Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Eric Bischoff are talking to Sean O’Haire. Triple and O’Haire stand face-to-face.

Triple H: “Listen, I’m going to call this as it is. Trust me, this hurts to say. But you beat me. Straight up, you beat me. I have no excuse. But I’m not about to suddenly cede leadership of the New World Order to you, Sean O’Haire. With all due respect, you still have a lot to learn. From me. From Kevin. From Scott. From Eric. So here’s what we’re going to do. There’s no leader. No go-to-guy. We’re a unit. The four of us, an equivalent part of the NWO. So what does everyone say?”

Scott Hall and Kevin Nash nod their heads, while Sean O’Haire doesn’t react. HHH and O’Haire stare one another down again, and to try to convince O’Haire, HHH sticks his hand out. O’Haire slowly accepts this set-up and shakes HHH’s hand.

Triple H: “Now let’s take care of business tonight and remind everyone that the New World Order run things around here!”

The Outsiders step out first. Sean O’Haire and HHH stare one another down once again before O’Haire finally steps out of the locker room as well.

Eric Bischoff: “You did the right thing, Hunter.

Triple H looks at Eric, shooting him a look that makes it apparent that he’s skeptical of the entire situation.





Mike Tenay: “Welcome to Monday Night Nitro! We have a huge show for you all tonight! The contract signing for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship Match at WrestleWar will take place tonight between WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle!”

Don West: “Mike, I’m waiting to see the fall out from last week’s match between Sean O’Haire and Triple H. I don’t believe everything is just going to be okay after O’Haire beat him!”

Mike Tenay: “That’s what it looks like so far. We’re kicking things off with a tag team match!"

Christian and Rene Dupree vs. Harlem Heat

Booker T and Christian look to get started, but Christian immediately tags in Dupree. Dupree poses, but Booker punches him in the face and shoves him into the corner. Booker hits a couple of blows, but Dupree counters. Dupree tries to hip toss Booker, but Booker counters and hip tosses Dupree. Booker T slams Dupree, then locks in an armbar and tags in Stevie Ray.

Booker comes off the ropes and ducks a clothesline from Christian and hits him with a flying forearm! The crowd pops as Booker T pops up himself with the Spinarooni…but boos follow as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall appear in the crowd and taunt Booker. Triple H and Sean O’Haire run down to the ring and while Stevie Ray tries to tackle O’Haire, he doesn’t get much of him. HHH nails Booker from behind as this match is thrown out…Christian and Dupree bailed anyway.

Winners: Harlem Heat by DQ when the NWO interfered

Triple H and Sean O’Haire continue their attack as Kevin Nash and Scott Hall watch on from the crowd. Triple H gets his sledgehammer from under the ring, but Booker kicks it out of his hands and grabs it himself! That’s enough for the NWO as HHH and O’Haire roll out of the ring as soon as Booker gained control!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Harlem Heat find Shane McMahon backstage.

Shane McMahon: “Hey, guys, I saw what happened. I’m figuring out how to fix it righ…”

Booker T: “Figuring out how to fix it? I’ll tell you how it gonna get fixed! Harlem Heat versus Triple H and Sean O’Haire, tonight! That’s gonna fix it!”

Shane McMahon nods his head.

Shane McMahon: “Alright, you guys got it. And I’ll add a bit to it. No one is allowed at ringside!”

Booker T: “Now we dig that. Me and my brother are taking out the NWO for good tonight!”

***

Mike Tenay: “Wow, I understand that’s our main event tonight, Don!”

Don West: “The New World Order has struck! Let’s hope after this one is all said and done that everyone involved still makes it to the WrestleWar!”

Mike Tenay: “WrestleWar is just twelve days away, Don. We’re about to see a match-up between two men who will be a part of the WrestleWar, two guys looking for a huge victory to break through in WCW.”

At Wrestle War, Kurt Angle looks to regain the WCW World Championship as he takes on Hulk Hogan. Here comes WCW Owner Shane McMahon.”

***

Shane McMahon enters the ring, microphone in hand. He introduces both WCW World Champion Hulk Hogan and Kurt Angle. Hogan sits on one side of the table and Angle sits on the other as Shane explains that this contract is binding.

Kurt Angle: “Well I’ve got something to say since I have Hogan here in front of me. This has been a long-time coming Hogan. Look, I respect you Hogan. You’re a legend, an icon in this business. But all the respect in the world doesn’t mean I forgot what happened or even how we got to this situation. If it weren’t for you and the New World Order I’d still be champion today. Oh it’s true, it’s damn true and you know it. Now you changed sides and in a way this title shot, which I do appreciate, but this title shot is you trying to make things right. I guess I’m grateful you even went that far. But it doesn’t mean I forgive you Hogan. I’m going to take out all the anger and frustration for what you did to me at Slamboree. Yes, what I said before about you wearing the red and yellow and calling yourself the ‘Real American’ still disgusts me. I’m going to let out all my disgust and all my frustrations on you Hogan, and take back my WCW World Title while I’m at it! So Hogan, what are you gonna do when the Real American, the Olympic Gold Medalist, wrestles circles around you?”

Shane McMahon: “Okay, well, let’s…”

Hulk Hogan: “Wait a minute, wait a minute Shane, you think I’m just going to take that and not respond? You want to talk about respect and disgust? You act like your record is all clean, Kurt Angle, but come on we both know the deal. Yeah, I do respect you, I respect anyone who represents the red, white, and blue. But don’t think I’m lesser than because I come out here and do my own thing. I represent America for what I do for the people day in and day out. I give people hope. I visit the kids in the hospital. Yeah, I slipped up and joined back with the NWO, and I learned the error of my ways. But I’m working my way back. But you Angle, you have your moments. You wrestle as dirty as any of them. You unnecessarily crippled Ric Flair just to win that title. And hell when you started you were just an annoying jerk! Yeah, it was business that led me to cost you the WCW Title at Slamboree. But that’s the past. I have the title now. How about you a man and try to take it back from me instead of bitching about how you lost it over and over, brother!”

Kurt Angle: “You want me to do something about it, Hogan? I can guarantee you I can ensure that you don’t make it to WrestleWar…”

Shane McMahon jumps between Angle and Hogan before they come to blows.

Shane McMahon: “Hey, hey, look, let’s get this contract signed and settle this at the Pay-Per-View guys.”

With Shane McMahon standing between them, both Kurt Angle and Hulk Hogan sign the contract while staring into one another’s eyes. Things nearly come to blows as Angle is able to catch Hogan in the face with a slap! This angers Hogan, but Shane again stands between them and Angle decides to leave the ring before Hogan can get a shot in himself. Hogan rips his shirt off and challenge Angle to fight him right now, but Angle now seems satisfied with the interaction, as he’s clearly gotten in Hogan’s head. Angle smirks as he walks up the ramp with Hogan fuming in the ring.

Joey Styles: “Welcome to ECW RISE! I’m Joey Styles with my partner, former ECW World Champion Tazz. We’re just three days away from November to Remember, and partner, we already have questions that need to be answered. Like what the hell are Animal and Hawk doing here?”

Tazz: “What a match, Joey, what a match. But man, Van Dam may have won the battle, but now he has to ask himself if he can trust Sabu!”​

Joey Styles: “Those two have always had a volatile relationship, heck even over the past year those two have had their issues. It looked like everything was smooth sailing until Sabu threw that chair!”

***

RISE cuts to the same dark room we saw the last time we saw Victoria. But this time, instead of sitting and shaking, she stands confidently.

Victoria: “All the things she said…they’ve run through my read and I understand it all. All the scare tactics, Daffney, they won’t save you from what’s coming. The horror show comes to an end, and I promise your screams will be heard from the ends of the world. You betrayed me, Daffney. But you forgot the level of pain that I can inflict on someone. You forgot the tears that come with trying to take me down.”

The camera cuts to La Felina’s mask against a wall, which Victoria ripped away from La Felina months ago. Victoria tosses a small knife into it, like a dart into a dartboard.

Victoria: “At November to Remember, you, Daffney, and the rest of the world, will get a reminder of the pain that goes through my head!


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


We come back to RISE with Chavo Guerrero Jr. standing in the ring. Chavo is oddly dressed, almost looking like a clown.

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: “Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, your entertainment for the evening.”




“This is “THE RINGMASTER” EDDIE GUERRERO!”

Chavo quickly sets the ring up…like we’re getting ready to see a circus performance. Eddie Guerrero steps out looking, well like a circus ringmaster (think Hugh Jackman in the Greatest Showman)…hat and all. Guerrero is carrying what looks to be a bag of stuffed animals with him too.

Joey Styles: “What the hell are we doing here…”

Eddie Guerrero grabs a microphone.

Eddie Guerrero: “I’d like to thank everyone who has joined us today for this million dollar performance! I’m your Ringmaster, Eddie Guerrero! For our first act…”

Eddie pulls out six or seven stuffed animals: a lion, a hippo, a rhino, etc.

Eddie Guerrero: “These animals are going to jump through a hoop held up six feet in the air! Chavo, hold up the hoop!”

Chavo holds up the hoop as Eddie begins to toss the animals through it, although he misses with a couple.

Eddie Guerrero: “Don’t worry, these animals were treated ethically!”

Eddie tosses the last couple before moving on…

Eddie Guerrero: “For my next trick, my assistant, Chavo, will do several acrobatic moves, including a backflip!”

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: “Wait, what?”

Eddie Guerrero: “Come on esse, just like we practiced!”

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: “We didn’t practice anything!”

Eddie Guerrero: “Just try it, ok?”

Chavo rolls around the ring, but when he tries a backflip, he just lands on his butt.

Eddie Guerrero: “What the hell was that? I mean…it’s ok, it’s ok. We’re going to let Chavo redeem himself!”

Eddie goes back into his bag…and brings out Pepe, the Wooden Toy Horse!

Tazz: “Joey, it’s one of WCW’s biggest stars!”

Joey Styles: “Why are you entertaining this…”

Eddie Guerrero: “We’re now going to reunite Pepe with his long time friend, Chavo!”

Chavo rides Pepe around the ring for a few seconds…before things take a turn to the serious as “Glass Shatters” and Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way down to the ring!

Eddie Guerrero: “Hiya, Steve! Welcome to the show!”

Stone Cold Steve Austin: “You know I’m sitting back there in my truck, watching the damn show and wondering just what the hell is going on! Week after week you came out here whining and crying about wanting to take on a top star. Now that you got your big match this is what you do? Come out our here looking like a jackass while your jackass nephew rides a toy jackass? You lookin’ to get your ass whooped in three days son, and you better be preparing instead of doing this crap!”

Eddie Guerrero: “Oh, I promise you esse, I’m very ready for this Sunday. I’ve been ready my whole life. But it’s now time to relax vato! Come on, let’s see Stone Cold try to hoola-hoop!”

Stone Cold bats the hoop away…before Chavo blasts Austin in the back with Pepe! It has little effect and Austin beats the hell out of Chavo! Austin stomps a mudhole in Chavo…but it was all a trap. Eddie pulls out a lead pipe from his bag and when Austin turns his attention back to him, Eddie blasts him over the head, busting him wide open!

Joey Styles: “Oh My God!”

Eddie heads to the top rope and smirks at the crowd before landing a Frog Splash on Austin! Eddie collects Chavo and proudly walks up the ramp, clearly satisfied with how he left Stone Cold, bloodied in the ring.​

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Paul Heyman: “While I expect the audience of Extreme Championship Wrestling to be aware of this, but in case for some reason this is not the case I am Paul Heyman, the manager, agent, and advocate for “The Next Big Thing” Brock Lesnar. Formerly, I also oversaw the career of Shelton Benjamin, Brock Lesnar’s one-time amateur wrestling teammate, friend, and partner. In three short days Benjamin will look to make a name for himself at the expense of his one time friend, live on Pay-Per-View at the November to Remember. It is truly poetic. Two warriors, forged in the same fires of competition back in Minnesota. They trained together, sweated together and bled together. And, there’s a case to be made that there no one on this earth that holds a candle to the athleticism of Brock Lesnar…I would argue that if there’s an exception to that rule, Shelton Benjamin would be that exception. But Brock Lesnar always had something you never had Shelton. Brock Lesnar had the rage. He is a force of nature, a Beast that is truly beyond human. That is why I chose to oversee his career as opposed to yours. It isn’t to say I completely gave up on you Shelton. But you craved more until you made the ultimate mistake and broke that bond between you and Brock when you sided with Booker T. Now you must face that Beast from Minnesota that you know all too well. You must deal with the pain, the punishment and the annihilation that is Brock Lesnar. It will be a November to Remember for you Shelton Benjamin. Because after Brock Lesnar is done with you, your body will be broken, your friendship gone, and memories will be all you have left. You will not be facing the man you once knew, you will be facing the Beast who will end you!”

***​

Tazz: “Man, Joey. I have a lot of respect for Shelton Benjamin, hell I wrested him in my last match, but I don’t know if he can deal with Lesnar. I’ve been in the ring with Lesnar too, and while my last match may have been against Shelton, Brock was the one who did the damage.”​

Joey Styles: “Brock Lesnar vs. Shelton Benjamin is going to be something this Sunday. Speaking of this Sunday, I’m worried about Eddie Guerrero. We saw Stone Cold make his way to the back during the break with that huge gash on his head.”

Tazz: “Yeah and I know you heard what he said just like I did. Stone Cold said Guerrero is a dead man this Sunday and boy do I believe him.”

Joey Styles: “Changing gears, Tazz, we still have the main event tonight. This match came about in a couple of different ways. Of course, Rey Mysterio Jr. defeated Rob Van Dam a couple of weeks ago to become the #1 Contender to Raven’s ECW World Championship. That match takes place in three days as well as November to Remember. But also, this past Saturday at Hardcore TV the World Cruiserweight Championship match ended in chaos when Tajiri got involved. I understand that Super Crazy will now defend the Cruiserweight title against both Little Guido and Tajiri this Sunday as well. But tonight, both of these rivalries come together in triangle tag team action!”

Triangle Tag Team Match – One Fall
Little Guido and Big Sal E. Graziano (w/Johnny Stamboli) vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. and Super Crazy vs. Raven and Tajiri (w/Malice)

Tajiri, Guido, and Super Crazy kick things off. Guido attacks Crazy, but Tajiri quickly hits Guido with a kick as it seems he wants Crazy for himself. Tajiri tosses Guido to the outside. A whip from Tajiri is reversed by Crazy, but Tajiri handsprings off the ropes and hits Crazy with a back elbow! Guido runs back in by Tajiri catches him with another kick and adds some chops. Tajiri sends Guido off the ropes, but Guido goes into a tilt-a-whirl and comes out ahead with an armbar! Crazy breaks that up with a stomp and sends Guido off the ropes, only Guido gets a blind tag from Big Sal. Grazy hits Guido with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker then is immediately body tackled by the 600 pound Big Sal! Crazy tags in Rey. Rey springboards off the top rope with a dropkick on Sal, but that barely moves the monster. Crazy and Rey dropkick Sal at the same time but that still barely rocks the big man. Tajiri then helps as well, and a triple dropkick sends Sal tumbling through the ropes! Tajiri then hits Crazy with a kick to the head, but Rey ducks the same fate and catches Tajiri with a wheelbarrow into a bulldog! Rey points at Raven as that’s who he wants in the ring, but Raven demands Tajiri keep fighting.

Tajiri counters a whip and sends Rey off the ropes, but Rey catches him with a flying headscissors, then spinning heel kick for good measure. Tajiri lands on the second rope and Rey goes for the 6-1-9…only to be pulled out of the ring by Raven! Raven and Rey trade blows on the outside, but Raven wins the exchange when he sends Rey flying into the steel guardrail. Big Sal then squashes Rey against the guardrail…causing him and Rey to spill out into the crowd as the guardrail couldn’t support the impact! Super Crazy is back in the ring as tags seem to be optional here. Crazy and Guido trade slaps to the chest, but Crazy gets a kick and hip tosses Guido. Springboard moonsault connects from Crazy, 1…2…Guido kicks out. Crazy boots Guido then powerbombs him in the center of the ring, but Johnny Stamboli runs into the ring and attacks him! Crazy knocks Stamboli back to the outside. Crazy throws Guido over the top rope onto Stamboli, then jumps onto the apron himself. Springboard Asai Moonsault takes out Stamboli and Guido! Crazy jumps back into the ring but gets caught with a kick from Tajiri. Tajiri then locks Crazy in the Tarantula. Rey makes his way back into the ring and makes the save. Rey punches away at Tajiri, then hits him with a hurricanrana!

Mysterio looks to finish off Tajiri, but when he leaps from the apron Malice pulls him down and Rey’s face slams against the apron. Big Sal is back in the ring and slams Crazy. He goes foe a big splash on Crazy, but Crazy moves and Sal gets all canvas. Raven takes a chair and smashes it against Big Sal’s back, sending Sal through the ropes. Raven sets Crazy up for the Evenflow, but Crazy break free and chops Raven. Crazy sends Raven off the ropes but Raven takes him down with a clotheslines. Raven again sets Crazy up for the Evenflow, but Rey has fought Malice off and nails Raven with a springboard hurricanrana! Rey punches away at Raven in the corner, but Raven hits Rey with a knee to the midsection. Raven sends Rey into the corner and follows up with a bulldog! Raven covers Rey, 1…2…Rey kicks out! Raven sends Rey into the corner again, but this time Rey sidesteps Raven as Raven charges in after him. Rey leaps onto Raven’s shoulders for a hurricanrana, only to get caught and powerbombed! Raven does his T-pose to the crowd. He sets up Rey for the Evenflow, but Rey pushes Raven against the ropes and then sends Raven off the ropes. Rey leaps onto Raven’s shoulders for a victory roll! 1…2…3!

Winners: Rey Mysterio Jr. and Super Crazy when Rey pinned Raven in 14:15

Joey Styles: “Rey pinned him! Rey pinned him! Rey pinned the ECW World Champion!”

Rey doesn’t get a chance to celebrate as he’s immediately attacked by Malice! A brawl completely breaks out as Raven’s Warriors: Saturn, Mikey Whipwreck, Crush, and Wrath all come down to the ring, but they are met by Psicosis and Juventud Guerrera! FBI members Tracy Smothers and Tony Mamaluke have joined the battle too. The luchadores seem completely outnumbered overall, but the FBI and Warriors are going at each other too.

“OOOOOO WHAT A RUSH!”

Hawk and Animal make their way down to the ring too and start blasting members of Raven’s Warriors! Hawk and Animal seem to be on the luchadores’ side as they specifically attack Crush, Malice, and Wrath! Saturn, Whipwreck, and Tajiri get Raven up the ramp as the FBI decide enough is enough as well. Hawk and Animal put Rey on their shoulders as Rey points to Raven, making sure Raven knows that he could lose the ECW World Championship this Sunday as quickly as he lost tonight!

Joey Styles: “We’ll see you all at November to Remember!”

​

ECW/WCW November to Remember 2002
Preview and Predictions





Joey Styles: “Hello everyone, Joey Styles here. Tomorrow night at the HSBC Arena in Buffalo, New York is the biggest annual event for Extreme Championship Wrestling: November to Remember! We have eight huge matches to cover, let’s get to it!”

International Three-Way Dance (Two Falls)
World Cruiserweight Championship
Super Crazy © vs. Tajiri vs. Little Guido

Joey Styles: “Three of the greatest cruiserweights in ECW history will do battle once again with the World Cruiserweight Championship on the line. This match came about on Hardcore TV when Tajiri went after rival Super Crazy after Crazy helped out Rey Mysterio Jr. in his battles with Raven (who Tajiri is aligned with). Tajiri attacked Crazy in the middle of Crazy’s Cruiserweight title defense against Little Guido, drawing the ire of the Full-Blooded Italians. As this is a three-way dance, to win the match requires eliminating both opponents. Will Tajiri regain the title he lost to Crazy back in the summer? Will Little Guido win his first Cruiserweight Championship? Can Super Crazy hold onto the title?”

World Women’s Championship
Victoria © vs. Daffney

Joey Styles: “In the summer the Horror Show featuring Victoria and Daffney made their debut, but we learned quickly that Victoria had no interest in sharing the limelight with Daffney. Victoria quickly won the Women’s Championship and would attack and beat down the women she defeated. This upset Daffney, who finally stood up to Victoria at Halloween Havoc. Daffney has promised a carnival of carnage in route to taking the Women’s Championship from Victoria…but Victoria has been a dominant champion since she won the title. We’ll see if Daffney can pull off what quite frankly in my view would be a huge upset.”

Flaming Table Match
The Archdiocese of Dudleyville (Brother Bubba, Reverend D-Von, Altar Boy Spike, and Deacon Batista) vs. The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Balls Mahoney, and Axl Rotten

Joey Styles: “Despite a change in appearance for the Dudley Boys and a new religious ideology, their goals seem to be the same as always. The Dudleys have tortured Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman and once again have taken away their friend Spike Dudley. Dreamer and Sandman have enlisted the help of the Chair Swinging Freaks to take down the Dudleys once and for all…but this match may be the most dangerous in the years long rivalry: Brother Bubba has declared that HE, whoever HE is, has determine that Dreamer and company must go through the fires of hell to end this rivalry. Case in point, to win this match one member of the opposing team must be driven through a flaming table. We’ll see if this is what it takes for this rivalry to end once and for all.”

If Total Impact Win, They Get the Outsiders
Total Impact (Lance Storm, Chris Candido, and Mike Awesome) vs. X-Factor (X-Pac, Justin Credible, and Albert)

Joey Styles: “This issue started way back on May 30th, 2002, when the New World Order invaded Extreme Championship Wrestling. The original version of Total Impact: Lance Storm, Mike Awesome, and Justin Credible stood up to The Outsiders and X-Pac…only Credible would turn on Awesome and Storm. Chris Candido returned to ECW to aid Total Impact while Credible, X-Pac, and eventually Albert would defend the NWO at the front-line. But after Total Impact had a hand in costing Triple H the WCW World Championship at Halloween Havoc…and the Outsiders in turn cost Awesome the ECW World Championship during Raven’s Nightmare…Total Impact wanted to finish off the Outsiders once and for all. But X-Factor stands in Total Impact’s way once more. X-Pac declared the guarantee though, if Total Impact can get through X-Factor, they’ll get their match with the Outsiders.”

Brock Lesnar vs. Shelton Benjamin

Joey Styles: “It was back at Superbrawl where Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman brought in Shelton Benjamin to aid Lesnar in his battles with Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Since then Heyman, as General Manager of ECW protected Benjamin. But once Lesnar moved to WCW, Benjamin felt that Heyman felt him behind. Heyman called Benjamin to help Lesnar with his issues with Harlem Heat, but when Lesnar tried to take advantage of a beaten Booker T at Halloween Havoc, Benjamin had other ideas. Benjamin refused to help Lesnar beat down Booker, then even took Lesnar down when Lesnar continued to attack. Lesnar would get revenge by attacking Benjamin on RISE, and Benjamin decided he had had enough. Benjamin made the challenge and declared that Heyman had made a mistake choosing Lesnar over him. This is Benjamin’s chance to prove that.”

ECW World Tag Team Championship
AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn © vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu

Joey Styles: “AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn have dominated the ECW Tag Team division since they won the titles in April at Barely Legal II. They made an open challenge to any team they hadn’t beaten yet…and received an answer from Bill Alfonso, representative of Rob Van Dam and Sabu. Lynn and RVD’s rivalry has been well documented over the years, and RVD would defeat Lynn on the go-home RISE. But with AJ Styles and Sabu involved, can Lynn and Styles get the biggest win of their already dominant reign? Or will RVD get one over Lynn once again by winning the ECW World Tag Team Championship with Sabu?”

ECW World Championship
Raven © vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.

Joey Styles: “After surviving Raven’s Nightmare with the ECW World Championship still in-hand, Raven awaited the next challenger. Rey Mysterio Jr. would upset Rob Van Dam in a #1 Contender’s Match to become that challenger. While Raven’s Warriors tower over Rey, Rey has gotten support from fellow luchadores Super Crazy, Psicosis, and Juventud Guerrera, as well as an unexpected assist from The Legion of Doom: Hawk and Animal. Mysterio would pin Raven on the go-home RISE as part of a tag match, giving Mysterio tons of confidence coming into November to Remember. Can Rey Mysterio Jr. win a major world championship in the United States, or will Raven escape once again?”

Eddie Guerrero vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

Joey Styles: “ECW Commissioner Mick Foley found himself in a bind when he gave Eddie Guerrero and Rob Van Dam a match where the winner would receive any match the winner wanted. Guerrero would defeat RVD but instead of expectedly challenging ECW World Champion Raven, Guerrero wanted to face who he felt was the biggest star in ECW: Cactus Jack. Foley refused, citing that “Cactus Jack was dead and Mick Foley was retired from the ring”. After flirting with Nitro, Guerrero was lured back to ECW by a potential substitute for Foley. That substitute turned out to be the returning Stone Cold Steve Austin. Guerrero accepted Austin as a “big enough star” for him to face instead of Cactus Jack. Austin has claimed that he needs to get his fire back and facing Guerrero is the way to get there. A victory for Guerrero would push Guerrero into the main event on any wrestling show he wants. Guerrero showed how cunning he could be too as he lured Austin into a trap on RISE, all while mocking Austin’s time as The Ringmaster. All this did though was piss off Austin. We’ll see what happens tomorrow night!”

ECW/WCW November to Remember 2002
November 24, 2002
HSBC Arena
Buffalo, NY

Raven: “Throughout my reign, I’ve stopped an era in Extreme Championship Wrestling that could have been ruled by martyrs, by beasts, by gladiators. I instilled order into my ECW empire. I stand on the mountain top of ECW, above the broken bodies of those who have fallen to my Warriors. But now a so-called superhero steps into my world. A world where fairy tales are exposed for the lies they are, where those who call themselves hero fall and crumble into nothingness. Rey Mysterio Jr., you embody the hopes and dreams of the masses, all while hiding your face behind what you call a symbol of righteousness, what you call a beacon of hope in a world you wish to believe is just and fair. But I know the truth. This age of superheroes must never come and I will be sure to not allow it. You hide behind the mask to prop up the illusion that you are in fact a superhero. Heroes are built on illusions, on the frail hopes of those too weak to face the truth. I am the only reality. Tonight, at November to Remember, I will shatter your illusion. Quote the Raven, Nevermore.”





Joey Styles: “Hello everyone, I’m Joey Styles alongside former two-time ECW World Champion Tazz. Tonight, it’s the return of ECW’s biggest event of the year, November to Remember!”

Tazz: “It’s going to be a huge night, Joey! I’m rooting for Shelton Benjamin tonight to take down the Beast, Brock Lesnar!”

Joey Styles: “We heard from Raven at the very top of the show. Raven will face Rey Mysterio Jr. one-on-one for the ECW World Championship. That’s our co-main event. The other? Stone Cold Steve Austin returns to the ring for the first time since the Great American Bash, and for the first time in an ECW ring since 1995 when he faces, well, another star who stopped by ECW in 1995, Eddie Guerrero!”

Tazz: “Looks like we’re kicking it off with the Tag belts, Joey. Here comes Van Dam!”








ECW World Tag Team Championsh
Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles © vs. Rob Van Dam and Sabu (w/Bill Alfonso)

RVD and Jerry Lynn king things off and continue their battle from this past Thursday’s RISE. Lynn and RVD come face-to-face once again and Lynn slaps RVD! RVD quickly responds with forearms and kicks. RVD whips Lynn off the ropes and hits a shoulder block, but misses a somersault legdrop. Lynn comes off the ropes and leapfrogs over RVD. When RVD tries to leapfrog over Lynn, Lynn puts on the brakes and slaps RVD again! Lynn kicks RVD then sends him into the corner, only RVD leaps up to the top rope and backflips over a charging Lynn. Drop toehold from RVD and this time RVD hits a corkscrew legdrop! RVD tags in Sabu who quickly hits Lynn with an elbow drop. Sabu quickly locks in a leg grapevine, only Lynn counters into an armbar.

But the celebration is short-lived as “Bawitdaba” plays. Kid Kash and Jamie Noble appear on stage. RVD welcomes them into the ring, but Kash and Noble just make it clear that they want the next title shot. Meanwhile, Jerry Lynn and AJ Styles argue on the outside. RVD and Sabu celebrate a little longer before the camera cuts to the outside parking lot.

Joey Styles: “We have new Tag Team Champions, but what’s going on out there?”

Tazz: “Joey, it’s the Guerreros!”

Joey Styles: “Is that a lowrider? It’s freezing cold out there!”

Eddie Guerrero: “Not even this cold is going to stop Latino Heat!”

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: “Great. Can we go inside already. Us non-Latino Heat Guerreros are cold.”

Eddie Guerrero: “Come on, esse! Chavito, it’s going to be a big night for us! Viva La Raza!”

***

Total Impact attacks right away, with Awesome squaring off on Albert, Candido on X-Pac, and Lance Storm chasing Justin Credible around the ring.

Joey Styles: “Well that was definitive.”

Tazz: “I feel bad for X-Pac, he’s gotta go back and tell Nash and Hall that they need to face these guys!”

Joey Styles: “We’re going to change gears here, Tazz. In what should be much more of a competitive match, the World Cruiserweight Championship is on the line. In one of the greatest three-way rivalries in ECW if not professional wrestling history, Super Crazy defends the title against Little Guido and Tajiri in an International Three-Way Dance.”

World Cruiserweight Championship: Three-Way Dance (Two Falls)
Super Crazy © vs. Tajiri vs. Little Guido (w/ Big Sal E. Graziano)

Crazy punches away at Tajiri to kick things off, but Tajiri quickly responds with a kick to the head. Guido rolls to the outside to “strategize” with Big Sal. Tajiri hits Crazy with more kicks, then catches Guido looking for a cheap shot with a kick. Crazy takes advantage of this distraction and chops away at Tajiri, but Tajiri stops him with an elbow. Tajiri puts Crazy in the tree-of-woe, but when Tajiri backs away, Big Sal grabs his feet and wishbones him against the ringpost! Guido hits a basement dropkick to the head of Tajiri. Guido tries a basement dropkick to Crazy, but Crazy sits up from the tree-of-woe and Guido wishbones himself on the ringpost too! Crazy then dives over the ringpost and takes out Big Sal!

Whipwreck, Tajiri, Mamaluke, and Guido all battle in the crowd as Big Sal attacks Tajiri again. All five of them keep fighting as Super Crazy climbs up a balcony about 15 feet high…and moonsaults off, taking out everyone!

Joey Styles: “Oh Dios Mio!”

There isn’t much of a celebration for Tajiri as the FBI-Warriors brawl spills into the ring…and eventually through the crowd. Tajiri doesn’t get directly involved, clutching his new World Cruiserweight Championship belt and retreating up the ramp.

Joey Styles: “We’ll keep track of the brawl between the FBI and Raven’s Warriors…but the important thing is that Tajiri has regained the Cruiserweight Championship!”

Tazz: “That was one hell of a match, Joey, a true rocketbusta! Hey…what’s this organ music playing, Joey?”

Joey Styles: “It must be the Dudleys. Someone is going through a flaming table, Tazz.”

The Archdiocese of Dudleyville make their way to the ring. Deacon Batista leads the way, Spike has a religious candle, and Bubba and D-Von hold up the WCW World Tag Team Championship as the procession heads to the ring. As they hit the ring, Bubba grabs a microphone.

Brother Bubba: “Gather round everyone, for we have been called upon by HIM to deliver a sermon of fire and brimstone. A true test of faith, a trial by fire, lies before us my brothers and sisters! Four sinners will meet us in this ring, looking to turn the flames against us. BUT WE WILL NOT FALTER! We will DEFLECT the fires of hell onto you Tommy Dreamer. Onto you Sandman. Onto you Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney!”

Reverend D-Von: “Hallelujah, my brother! Let it be known that it is written that we have come to bring the fire on earth not due to confrontation, but due to divine intervention! We will set these tables ablaze and send these sinners crashing through the inferno! This will be a testament to our unwavering faith!”

Brother Bubba: “We saved Spike from your debauchery of violence and anarchy. Now we complete the task at hand. HE has imposed us the role of being the righteous hand of judgment, and we till cleanse your sins with the purifying flames of righteousness!”

Reverend D-Von: “OH MY BROTHER…TESTIFY!”

Heavy boos follow The Dudleys speech…but they quickly turn into cheers as “Enter Sandman” hits the speakers! Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Axl Rotten, and Balls Mahoney make their way through the crowd, drinking beer with fans as they head down to the ring!

Spike leaps off the apron onto Sandman’s back, but Sandman quickly whacks him in the head with the kendo stick as well. Sandman tries to beat on Batista with the kendo stick, but again that doesn’t seem to effect the monster as Batista plants him with a spinebuster. Dreamer grabs something from the crowd and sneaks into the ring behind Batista. Dreamer kicks Batista low…and that finally does some damage. Dreamer then shows what he grabbed from the crowd…a cheese grater!

Dreamer uses the cheese grater on Batista until Bubba and D-Von make the save. Dreamer catches D-Von with the cheese grater, but Bubba dodges and hits Dreamer with a Bubba Bomb. There’s blood all over the ring as Batista and D-Von are cut open. Batista is enraged by the sight of his own blood. He shoves Bubba out of the way and presses Dreamer over his head, then tosses him over the top rope, with Dreamer crashing into the steel guardrail. Rotten and Mahoney jab at Bubba and D-Von in the ring. They each wind up their final punch and knock down the Dudleys. Spike attacks Rotten, but Rotten hits him with a jab. Mahoney prepares with his chair as Rotten whips Spike into him…and Mahoney wallops Spike so hard the seat of the chair flies off. Even Mahoney seems shocked. Batista is back in and knocks both Mahoney and Rotten with a double clothesline. Bubba and D-Von set a table on the outside of the ring. Batista grabs Mahoney with both arms by the throat…and chokebombs him over the top rope through the table!

Dreamer and Sandman get back into the ring and hit Batista with a double White Russian Legsweep.

Spike holds Dreamer down as D-Von sends Sandman off the ropes, leading to the 3D – The Divine Dudley Drop! Dreamer fights off Spike, but he too ends up as a victim of the 3D as well! Both tables are set up in the ring and gasoline is poured on both of them…

Joey Styles: “Oh god…is this really happening in ECW again!?”

Spike grabs his candle and lights it…before using it to light the tables on fire! Somehow, Dreamer and Sandman have the strength to fight off the Dudleys, even almost sending Bubba through the table! The fire goes out as Dreamer and Sandman punch away at D-Von and Bubba, sending them to the outside. Dreamer then grabs Spike by the hair, and for the first time instead of sympathy, Dreamer looks to want to hurt Spike. Dreamer prepares to piledrive Spike, but Batista smashes both he and Dreamer with a collection box! Batista orders Spike to light the tables ablaze once again, and he does so! Batista grabs both Dreamer and Sandman by the throat…and chokeslams them both through the flames! Batista roars as the fire attendants run into the ring immediately with fire extinguishers.

Joey Styles: “Oh my god, Tazz!”

Tazz: “That Batista is a scary man, Joey.”

Batista attacks the fire attendants as he looks like he wants to do even more damage. At first, Bubba and D-Von try to stop him, with Bubba saying that “peace has been achieved”, but Batista shoots Bubba a glare that causes him to back off. Batista demands another table be brought into the ring…but before that happens Shane Helms, Elix Skipper, and Monty Brown hit the ring! Helms and Skipper fight off Bubba and D-Von. Batista and Brown come to blows, and Brown knocks Batista down with a POUNCE! Spike tries to make the save, but Skipper and Helms hit him with the All-Star Takedown! The Dudleys, while victorious, retreat as Skipper, Helms, and Brown checks on Dreamer and Sandman.

Joey Styles: “Who knew Skipper, Helms, and Brown were in the building?!”

Tazz: “They’ve had their issues with the Dudleys as well. They want those WCW Tag Belts.”

Joey Styles: “Commissioner Mick Foley is out here as well to check on the carnage that was left out here.”

Mick Foley checks on Dreamer, Sandman, Rotten, and Mahoney. Skipper, Helms, and Brown help the four men to the back as Foley joins Joey Styles and Tazz at the top of the stage at the commentary position.

Joey Styles: “Welcome Mick.”

Mick Foley: “Hi Joey. I hope you don’t mind that I join both of you. There’s a lot going on and I think it’s a good idea to get close to the action!”

Tazz: “Of course, welcome.”

Mick Foley: “Once they clean up the ring we’ll continue tonight’s festivities.”

Joey Styles: “The next one is one I’m looking forward to, Shelton Benjamin takes on Brock Lesnar!”

Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar enter first, with Lesnar staring down and smirking at Mick Foley. Foley stands up at the desk, showing that he’s not intimidated despite the two’s past. Shelton Benjamin runs down to the ring next and the match begins!

Tazz: “Benjamin definitely gave Lesnar a run for his money.”

Joey Styles: “Coming up next, the Horror Show comes to an end as Victoria defends the World Women’s Championship against Daffney!”

Daffney gets a good reaction as she comes out to Rob Zombie’s “Living Dead Girl”!





Of course Victoria comes out to t.A.T.u’s “All The Things She Said”.

Joey Styles: “Oh my god! I didn’t expect anything like this between these two!”

Mick Foley: “We heard Daffney call it a Carnival of Carnage. I don’t think she was kidding! Look, she’s getting up too!”

Daffney somehow gets to her feet, screaming as the tacks falls from her body. Victoria is still uncharacteristically acting surprised at the violence that took place, even apologizing to Daffney. Daffney welcomes Victoria in for a hug. Victoria decides to accept…but Daffney throws a bunch of tacks in Victoria’s face! Daffney laughs as she jumps the railing and escapes through the crowd, with Victoria now screaming in pain.

Joey Styles: “My god, Mick, this show is out of control.”

Mick Foley: “I’ll have to address this on RISE, Joey. Sure, perhaps that was unacceptable from Daffney…but after the months of torture Victoria has placed upon her, I find it difficult to have sympathy.”

Joey Styles: “What the hell else is going on?”

We cut to the locker room where Malice, Wrath, and Crush are still brawling with Big Sal, Johnny Stamboli, and Tracy Smothers! Despite officials trying to break them up backstage, there’s been no luck.

Mick Foley: “Well on the flipside, that should at least keep most of Raven’s Warriors occupied for the upcoming ECW Championship Match!”





As ECW World Champion Raven sits in the ring, Metallica’s “Sad But True” plays. The Road Warriors come out with Rey Mysterio Jr. following them. Notably, Hawk and Animal have their faces painted like Rey’s mask, and Rey is wearing a smaller version of the spiked shoulder pads the LOD are wearing.

Rey and Raven are both down…when Billy Kidman returns and heads to the top rope! Kidman comes off the top rope and hits Raven with Shooting Star Press!

The LOD help Rey, Kidman, Psicosis, and Juvi to the back as Raven continues to celebrate. Suddenly, someone jumps from the crowd and takes Saturn and Tajiri down! Whipwreck attacks that person…but he gets tossed over the top rope. The guy is wearing a motorcycle helmet to the confusion of everyone.

Joey Styles: “Mick I think we have a fan in the ring.”

Mick Foley: “We gotta get this guy out of here.”

But then it hits everyone. Malice and Raven have their back turned to this guy. When Malice turns around, and with Raven still on his shoulders, the guy violently spears Malice, with Raven crashing down to the canvas from Malice’s shoulders!

Tazz: “That’s no fan!”

The guy takes off the motorcycle helmet…

Mick Foley: “No he’s not!”

Mick Foley leaves the broadcast position as Rhyno sets a table up at ringside. Rhyno grabs Raven…and piledrives him off the ring apron through the table!

Mick Foley: “Hey, hey, Rhyno. You can’t be here. You can’t be doing this!”

Rhyno: “Fuck you, Foley!”

Rhyno takes off through the crowd as Mick Foley looks on. Foley shakes his head in disgust as he heads to the back, not returning to the commentator position.

Tazz: “Joey, this might be the craziest night I’ve ever witnessed in ECW history. And we still got another match!”

Joey Styles: “That we do! It’s been an insane night and the start of an insane week. Don’t forget, we’re just six days away from another Pay-Per-View from the ECW/WCW Alliance. The Wrestle War takes place on Saturday, not Sunday live on Pay-Per-View. Don’t forget that since this Thursday is the Thanksgiving holiday, that RISE will air on Wednesday instead. Now Tazz, it’s time for our main event.”

Tazz: “Looks like Chavo got himself a new gig! Looks like he’s going to introduce Eddie!”

Chavo Guerrero Jr.: “Ladies and gentlemen. I’m here to introduce to you, my favorite wrestler in the entire world and mi familia! He is “The Extreme Superstar” Eddie Guerrero!”





Tazz: “Hey, that was Steve Austin’s name and theme song when he was in ECW!”

Joey Styles: “Once again Eddie Guerrero is out here mocking Steve Austin. He got the better of Austin on RISE, we’ll see if he gets away with it this time around!”

Eddie and Chavo stand in the ring, but there’s no Austin. Guerrero starts to play to the crowd before grabbing a microphone.

Eddie Guerrero: “It looks like Stone Cold Steve Austin got some cold feet after what happened last Thursday night! Well I can’t blame him. Referee, raise my hand and declare “Latino Heat” the winner!”

The Extreme-tron suddenly shows Eddie’s low rider in the parking lot.

Eddie Guerrero: “Hey why are they shooting my car for? What are you guys doing…”

The reason quickly becomes apparent as a loud engine is heard. Stone Cold Steve Austin is shown driving up to the parking lot in a monster truck!

Eddie Guerrero: “No…NO!”

Austin lines up the truck with Eddie’s low rider…then runs over it!

Joey Styles: “Oh my god!”

Eddie Guerrero: “My car! MY CAR! CHAVITO, HE RAN OVER MY CAR!”

Austin climbs down from the truck, and looks back at the destroyed low rider. There’s glass and pieces of metal everywhere. Austin then walks into the arena looking like a man on a mission as Eddie throws a tantrum in the ring!

Stone Cold calls for some beer as he stands tall over Eddie Guerrero. Eddie rolls to the outside as he and Chavo stumble up the ramp. Austrin flips them both off, and drinks some more beer to celebrate his victory.

Joey Styles: “Ladies and gentlemen, what a night! Without a doubt, this was truly a November to Remember! We’ll see you on RISE this Wednesday!”

Blue Cross Arena at the War Memorial

WCW Owner Shane McMahon is on the phone in his office…when he sees someone enter and tells whomever he’s talking to on the phone that he’ll “call them back”.

Shane McMahon: “What do you want, Eric?”

Eric Bischoff walks in with a smile on his face.

Eric Bischoff: “I’m here to inform you, Shane, that the New World Order may have had some issues in the past couple of months, but as a unit we’re stronger than ever. With WrestleWar just five days away, we want to send a message. Now we could have done things the old way and did sneak attacks all night, but Sean, Hunter, Kevin, and Scott, they came to a joint decision. I’m here to officially challenge any four men who are in the WrestleWar to an eight-man tag team match tonight!”

Shane McMahon: “Sounds like a great idea. You’re on, Eric. Earlier we take out the NWO, the better.”

Eric Bischoff: “Heh, right. This is the first step to a NWO victory this Saturday.”​

Mike Tenay: “We are just five days away from the WrestleWar! Tonight, we’ll see the #1 Contender for the WCW World Championship in action in a warm-up match, as Kurt Angle takes on William Regal.”

Don West: “Mike, I watched November to Remember last night and saw Total Impact completely dominate X-Factor. The NWO made a challenge, but they need to be careful with Awesome, Candido, and Storm out here.”

Mike Tenay: “Total Impact is kicking things off in a tag team match. Also, as we just heard, we have a huge eight-man tag team match as our main event!”

Shane McMahon: “Booker, man, I’m sure you heard the NWO issued a challenge for tonight…”

Booker T: “Yeah, I heard Shane. Last week, they took out my brother. I’m tired of all this, Shane. So you don’t even have to ask me. You know I’m in. And I don’t care if I’m out there by myself tonight. I’m kicking ALL THEIR ASSES tonight! Then I’m going to the WrestleWar and I’m gonna win that too!”

Shane McMahon: “Alright, you’re in. I take it your brother isn’t around or even able to go?”

Booker T: “Nah, he’s still out. But again, I’ll go in there one against four. I don’t care. Suckas gotta get got no matter what tonight!”

A familiar voice interjects…

Diamond Dallas Page: “Well lucky for you, Shane-O, the Book-man ain’t gonna have to go out there alone!”

Diamond Dallas Page walks into the locker room with Stacy Keibler.

Diamond Dallas Page: “Tonight, Shane. You’ve got Booker T and D-D-P ready to take out the NWO scum for good. Find us two other guys or don’t, it don’t matter. We’re kicking ass tonight!”

Shane McMahon nods his head and leaves as DDP and Booker begin to prepare for the main event.

Kurt Angle: “Well let’s do this one at a time. William Regal isn’t someone to be overlooked. I’ve been on the same side as Regal and I’ve been in that ring standing across from Regal. Either way, he’s always as tough as they come in that ring. Yeah, I’ll make him tap out, but I know it won’t be easy. Then this Saturday, WrestleWar, the night that Hulkamania meets a Real American. I can’t say I’m surprised Hogan isn’t here, the only city he’s showing up in in New York is New York City. But, Rochester, I’m happy to be here. I’m going to take out Regal. And I’m going to take out Hogan and win back my WCW World Championship. Hogan has five days left. Regal, you’ve got five minutes. Oh it’s true, it’s damn true!”

You guys have a shot at Nash and Hall in the future, we’ll figure that out after WrestleWar, but tonight, I’ve got one spot tonight if you want to get the jump on them.”

Booker and HHH end up trading blows, and Booker gets a hook kick. O’Haire takes Booker out with a roundhouse kick. O’Haire helps HHH up, but then gets in his face about knocking him down before.

Joey Styles: “Welcome to ECW RISE! Happy Thanksgiving Week, we’re on a special Wednesday edition of RISE. With WrestleWar just three days away, we have a 20-Man Battle Royal with the winner getting a spot in WrestleWar Match!”​

Tazz: “And Joey, the FBI and Raven’s Warriors will both be represented in that battle royal. It’s going to be a wild one!”

Joey Styles: “It’s also rematch time tonight as a scarred Victoria has demanded to take on Daffney once again!”

Tazz: “But, Joey, what about the main event? Stone Cold is looking to smash one of the few demons that he’s never had the chance to.”

Joey Styles: “He’ll probably get pissed at me for bringing this up, but at the 1995 November to Remember, Mikey Whipwreck pulled off perhaps the biggest upset in professional wrestling history when he pinned, that’s right, pinned Steve Austin. Tonight, seven years later, Austin will get another track at him!”

Tazz: “Something’s happening Joey.”

Joey Styles: “IN THE CROWD! It’s RHYNO!”

Wrath dumps Roadkill (Elimination #15: Roadkill by Wrath). Raven’s Warriors raise their hands in victory as a unit, not seeing that Rhyno has jumped into the ring. They turn around and Rhyno GORES Saturn! Rhyno levels Wrath and Crush with clotheslines, then sends Malice flying to the floor. GORE to Wrath! Rhyno clotheslines Crush out, then sends Wrath out as well. Rhyno GORES Saturn again and throws him out of the ring, then pounds on his chest and roars to the crowd!

Joey Styles: “Rhyno’s not in this match, he’s not even cleared to complete!”

Tazz: “Uh-oh, here comes the Commish!”

ECW Commissioner Mick Foley comes down to the ring to confront Rhyno, but Rhyno grabs a microphone before Foley gets there.

Rhyno: “Foley, you better be coming down here to fuckin’ give me Raven!”

Mick Foley: “Rhyno, we had this talk backstage at November to Remember. As much as I would love to give you Raven, you aren’t cleared to compete, I can’t do it.”

Rhyno: “Fuck you Foley!”

Tazz: “Commish, you alright?”

Mick Foley: “It isn’t the first time I’ve been beaten up in the ring. Let’s make something clear, for his actions tonight, there is no chance, cleared or not, that Rhyno will not be in the WrestleWar. He didn’t win this battle royal, he wasn’t even an official competitor! Now he’s not cleared anyway, so maybe that’s not much of a punishment, but it seems like he’ll be spending Thanksgiving in a cell anyway! If Rhyno wants to insist on competing again, he needs to either get cleared by Alliance doctors, or he can sign a waiver absolving the Alliance of any legal liability if he gets hurt again. But he better be careful if he wants to attack me again!”

Joey Styles: “Unbelievable. Thanks Mick.”​

Tazz: “Hey, Joey, look!”

Big Sal still has Little Guido in his arms. Big Sal rolls Guido into the ring, and Guido celebrates as he’s officially the winner of the battle royal and has won a spot in the WrestleWar!

Winner: Little Guido in 22:22 since Rhyno eliminated everyone else

Joey Styles: “I hate to say it, but what a smart move by Little Guido and Big Sal.”​

::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


Victoria comes out for the World Women’s Championship match wearing La Felina’s mask, assumingly to mask the scars left from November to Remember. As she walks down to the ring, Daffney jumps on her back attacks, starting the match!

World Women’s Championship
Victoria © vs. Daffney

Victoria tries to wrest Daffney off her back, but Daffney holds on like a rider on a bull at a rodeo. They end up on top of the stage, and Victoria jumps off, sending herself and Daffney through a table 8 feet below!

Joey Styles: “Oh my God!”

Victoria struggles to get to her feet and drags Daffney down the aisleway and into the ring. Victoria looks under the ring and tosses a small bag into the ring (just like the one filled with tacks at N2R) and sets a table up on the outside of the ring. Daffney manages to get to her feet and hits Victoria with a baseball slide. Daffney gets onto the apron and dives off at Victoria, with both slamming into the railing. Daffney lets out a screech before taking the small bag and dumping the tacks on the table! Daffney helps Victoria up on the apron in front of the table. Daffney comes off the ropes but Victoria catches her with a forearm. Victoria then hooks her head…and suplexes Daffney over the top rope, dropping her through the table with the tacks!

Joey Styles: “Oh my God! We can’t do this every time these two go at it!”

Victoria drags Daffney into the ring. Victoria grabs a handful of tacks…and gets revenge for N2R by mounting Daffney and throwing them in her face! Victoria picks Daffney up and hits the Widow’s Peak, then covers. 1…2…3!

Winner: Victoria via pinfall in 7:12 (Retains)

Victoria pulls off La Felina’s mask, showing scarring on her face. She looks menacingly at Daffney before taking the World Women’s Championship title belt. She puts the mask back on and leaves as officials check on Daffney.

Joey Styles: “What a wild night so far.”

Tazz: “Yeah, and we still got Steve Austin in the main event tonight against Mikey Whipwreck!”


::COMMERCIAL BREAK::


When Mikey Whipwreck makes his way out to the ring, the camera shows ECW World Champion Raven in the crowd, watching on.

Mikey Whipwreck vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin

Austin comes down and immediately punches away at Whipwreck. Austin kicks Whipwreck down in the corner then stomps a mudhole in him! Austin tosses Whipwreck to the outside, then sends him flying into the ringpost. Austin drops Whipwreck throat-first onto the railing, then sends him into the railing too. Austin rolls Whipwreck back into the ring and stomps on him some more. Austin looks up at Raven and gives him the finger. Austin sends Whipwreck off the ropes and then drops him throat first onto the ropes with a stun gun. Spinebuster from Austin. Austin jumps up to the second rope for a flying forearm, but Whipwreck moves! Whipwreck goes for a Whippersnapper, which is the same move as the Stunner, but Austin blocks by shoving him off. Whipwreck hits the ropes and Austin catches him with a kick…and the Stunner!

Winner: Stone Cold Steve Austin via pinfall in 2:59

Stone Cold grabs a microphone.

Stone Cold: “Hey, hey, this night ain’t over yet. First off let’s get this piece of trash out of my ring! Everyone’s been asking me all week, ‘Steve, if you win the WrestleWar, would you rather face Kurt Angle or Hulk Hogan?’ And while I’d whip both their asses, I have a feeling the people here want to see something else. When Stone Cold wins the WrestleWar, and I will, if you want Steve Austin to pick Raven as his opponent, give me a hell yeah!”

“HELL YEAH!”

Stone Cold: “Raven you sit up their in your private seat up at the top of the arena. Trying to act all tough and dark with your ECW World Title belt. Let me tell you this I’ve been WWF Champion. I’ve been WCW Champion. Maybe Stone Cold goes up to your little private seat, whip your ass and become ECW Champion! How bout it tough guy?”

Raven looks down at Austin, and while he tries to stand stoically, it’s clear he has fear in his eyes.

Stone Cold: “Hell if there’s anybody here in ECW who’s in the WrestleWar who wants an early piece of Stone Cold I say come down here now and get you some! I’ve got cans of whoop ass for all!”

CW Anderson makes his way out to the ring. Anderson attacks Austin, but he doesn’t last too long as Austin catches him with a kick and drops him with a Stunner! The last of Raven’s Warriors, the World Cruiserweight Champion tries a sneak attack on Austin, but he misses with the Red Mist, and Austin hits him with a Stunner, with Mist spitting out of Tajiri’s mouth as he takes the move. Austin grabs the microphone again, with his attention focused toward Raven.

Stone Cold: “Is that all you got you bastard!”

Bam Bam Bigelow walks out and Stone Cold sees him as a threat, but he decides to wave off his approach and heads to the back. That distraction allows Eddie and Chavo to blindside Austin from behind! Eddie and Chavo stomp on Austin, but Austin fires back. He hits Chavo with a Stunner, and then stomps Eddie mercilessly in the corner! Austin gives Eddie one final middle finger before going for the Stunner, but Eddie pushes off and bails out of the ring and into the crowd. Austin decides to stomp away on Chavo a bit more, but the crowd erupts when “The Next Big Thing” plays. Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar appear on top of the stage, but they don’t approach the ring. Austin gives them both the middle fingers from the ring as the show comes to a close.

Joey Styles: “Oh my god…we’ll see you at the WrestleWar!”
