ECW Hardcore TV: Episode 325
July 17th, 1999
Queens, New York

Paul Heyman is in the ring and says it's official, starting Friday Night August 13th at 8 PM WE’RE ON TNN! Joey Styles says the deal is at least one special in mid-august, then the weekly series starts Friday Night, August 27th.

Skull Von Krush is now Vito “The Skull” Lograsso is in the ring and his pins Spanish Angel. After the match; the Dudleyz hit the ring and take out Vito with a 3D. Buh Buh tells someone in the crowd to sit down you fat fuck He then tells someone to sit their scrawny Puerto Rican ass down and taco bell is across the street you little fuck Buh Buh says he has to be honest, he went a little too far….ARE YOU MAD AT ME! OR ARE YOU MAD THAT D-VON IS GONNA STICK HIS BIG DICK………Suddenly, the fan throws a beer bottle at them They immediately bail to the floor and start attacking him, D-Von pulls him over but security stop it from escalating. BUT SPIKE IS ON THE BALCONY AND DIVES ONTO ALL OF THEM. HOLY SHIT! He tries to fight them in the ring, but he gets 3D’ed. Balls comes out for the save by murdering them with chair shots.

Joey Styles says it will be Balls and any partner of his choosing challenging the Dudleyz for the straps this Sunday on PPV. HOLY SHIT! The PPV IS THIS SUNDAY AND THEY HAVEN’T EVEN MENTIONED IT OUTSIDE THAT FIRST SHOW AFTER THE LAST! Man this company So they just gonna announce all the matches on the go home show, way to sell it

Lance Storm (w/Dawn Marie) vs. Jerry Lynn
Fine match tv match, Lynn might throw worse chops than Shawn. This is kinda the same formula as Lynn/RVD, Storm/RVD, very quick, some smooth counters with the added shitty rolling pin sequence at the wrong time. The match is back and forth, IDK if it’s just me but through the flaws I really like it. Neither man can never seem to gain the control the match for long periods of time, Lance does a great job at every time he can feel Lynn making a comeback he would cheat to do something heelish to swing the momentum into his corner. Piece of shit crowd, no sells the match by chanting “Spit or swallow” I guess this match needs fuckin flaming tables, New York is the worse. The ref gets bumped leading to fuckery, Credible and his entourage come out, they put a beating to Lynn and Justin cane’s him. Jazz then randomly starts feeling compassion for Jerry so Jason shoves her ad begins beating her up WHY? Nevermind that, SABU IS HERE! He begins beating them all up as Fonzie sets up a table on the floor. He goes to put Jason through the table with the double jump but Credible canes him to stop it. RVD hits the ring. He tries the Van Daminator on Lance, but he ducks and holds the chair up, so RVD takes hits Lynn with the Van Daminator, he then tries to dive on Credible on the floor but he moves and RVD takes out Sabu lol RVD taunts instead of checking up on Sabu he and Sabu argue to the back. Lance hits Lynn again with his Cradle Piledriver to win. **1/2

Last week at the ECW Arena, Danny Doring introduces us to his in Heyman words “Skank, lying, turd, tattooed, second-rate groupie that he picked up from a strip bar” Oh that woman is Lita, by the way. Chetti has it won, but instead of going for the cover he starts dancing like a magic mike adjace, the “RAT” comes in and starts dancing with him but Nova isn’t a fan, he calls her a slut and slaps him. NOVA her with the Kryptonite Krunch and yelled at Chetti for not winning. Roadkill then hit Nova with a Flying Splash to win. Joey announces a rematch for Heatwave, also can we give woman names instead of just calling everyone rat? Tbf that’s coming from me, who calls every woman thot. So don't pay me any attention.

Little Guido (w/Big Sal E. Graziano) vs. Super Crazy vs. Tajiri
Tajiri has moved on to his classic baggy leather pants. Joey says this seems to be a new Tajiri, he’s more vicious and aggressive now. Again, this is fun due to 2 of the 3 being awesome, Guido is just a body because Heyman couldn’t get any of the WCW cruiserweights. This has some really great dives, its nothing we haven’t seen before tho. The usual spots and callback spots because these guys have pretty much wrestled each other in some form of a match for the past 7 months. Hilarious camera angle shows the ref in the ring yelling at Guido and Tajiri on the floor so Sal comes in and delivers a leg drop to Crazy in the ring, the ring is shaking and you see the ref do the confused face but instead of turning around he shakes it off like nothing happen lmao this company I might have to gif this All 3 do some cool fast paced, counter wrestling and highspots. Sal tries to interfere so Crazy dives on him, but is caught in mid-air and is powerslammed through a table at ringside. Guido smartly puts the boots to Tajiri in the corner, before telling Sal to roll Crazy back in, as soon as he does Guido locks in the Sicilian Crab and Crazy taps. Tajiri destroys Guido and has this evil crazy look in his eyes now. Tajiri hits blatant low blows and a Brainbuster to win. **3/4

Sal comes in with a steel chair……BUT TAZ COMES OUT! Sal leaves, and Taz gets on the mic, he says he doesn’t do this a lot but that was a hell of a match. He says he respects his ability, and he says Tajiri has some impressive shit. He says anytime Tajiri wants a title match he will give him one. Suddenly, Steve Corino, Rhino, and Jack Victory come out. Corino says Taz is afraid to admit he is scared of him, Taz says the only thing Steve is choking is Jack Victory's limp dick. Corino says to keep cursing so he can get over, so Taz just yells curses that get bleeped out. Taz challenges them to come in and fight he and Tajiri, but TAJIRI KICKS TAZ! He takes him out with some kicks to the head. Jack Victory gives Tajiri money. Corino says it's just like Jack Victory told him he's theirs. Jack Victory waves a Japanese flag while Tajiri holds up the World title. Corino asks who's the stupid son of a bitch now?

Backstage: Steven Prazak is with Little Guido, he says at Heat Wave he and Sal are gonna take out Super Crazy.

PULP FICTION

Nova says he's finally earned his spot on an ECW PPV

Cyrus tells Jason he’s heard some stuff, and Jason says is it about the woman I didn’t care enough to name (oh, yeah I forgot ECW didn’t even name her this whole time, I called her Jazz because that’s what here name would be, instead of me writing “Big Jacked black woman”)Jason says she is at the bottom of his sexual food chain and calls her irrelevant. JAZZ THEN RUNS UP AND BEATS HIM UP

Chetti tells Nova to look at his face.

Sabu and RVD are arguing when Lynn walks over RVD says it was a mistake, and Lynn says he saved him in Chicago and he owes him one. Lynn says he doesn't want another title shot, and he wants a tag partner to whip both their asses. Fonzie says RVD's not allowed to tag with anyone with Sabu. RVD says he chooses to tag only with Sabu. Lynn says Sabu tagged with him so he's a hypocrite. RVD shrugs as Fonzie holds Sabu back. He says if Jerry needs his help to get over on PPV again, he'll carry him too. Because he can do whatever he wants, and Fonzie and Sabu look mad at this

Backstage: Taz says Corino you want to be big time, be in the main event, so congratulations. You got Tajiri and my attention. He says he’s gonna beat the hell out of Tajiri and show you a side of Taz you’ve never seen, he says he has a rep in Japan, the Taz no one wants to wrestle, the TAZ ON ONE WANTS TO DO BUSINESS WITH! He says he’s gonna beat the shit out of him and do things that'll get them thrown off PPV and thrown off TNN. He says doesn't care as long as he sees Tajiri down and in pain because he messed with the wrong guy. BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, TAJIRI. YOU CAN’T. SURVIVE IF! IF!, AND I PROBABLY WON’T LET YOU.

Another good show, not on par with the other two. But still really solid work. ECW WITH THE THREEPEAT!

ECW Heat Wave
July 18th, 1999
Dayton, Ohio

Backstage: Taz says tonight is the night, Tajiri gets torn apart by the human suplex machine, because I am the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!

PULP FICTION

Danny says everyone in TV land wants to know who the hottest stars at heat wave are gonna be? Well, look no further than Danny Doring and Roadkill. He says we’re here to stay. CHICKENS!

Nova says he's going to be the hottest star on Heatwave because nothing or no one is gonna cost him his shot. Chris Chetti says look at how good his face looks.

The Dudleyz shove Gertner, Buh Buh says everyone talks about being the hottest star, but it's NOT going to be the six-time World Tag Team Champions and the greatest tag team in pro wrestling today. The hottest star in ECW tonight is Balls Mahoney, because when they Powerbomb him through a flaming table, his ass is going out in a blaze of glory. TESTIFYYYYY!

Steve Corino says the hottest star is him, and when his man Tajiri wins the title he’s gonna hand it over to him, and you know what that makes him. THE ECW CHAMPION!

Lance says it doesn’t matter who the hottest star it because you're looking at the impact players, and our momentum started 9 years ago, back in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Jerry Lynn says he doesn’t like RVD and will never like him, but he respects him and that’s why he chose him. He says Lance and Strom will get their asses smoked. Fonzie and RVD are in the locker room, he says he'll be teaming with Jerry Lynn with or without their permission and Fonzie has to hold Sabu back again. He says he's Mr. PPV, he's the TV Champ, and he has the pull to do what he wants on his own and if Sabu has a problem, he'll show him that he's also the Whole Fucking Team. Fonzie holds them apart.

Danny Doring, Roadkill, and his RAT AKA Lita come out, how old was Lita during this? Because she really bangable, and her ass looks great. Good to know someone in the 90’s knew what a squat was. Danny says normally he would come out and put everyone down, but he’s not gonna do that tonight…….because as he was asleep last night, he realized the “DANACONDA” needs to stop his destructive sexual race and settle down. He says he found a girl that is pure, and chaste. Joey laughs and calls her a HOE, while the crowd chants she has herpes. DANNY THEN PROPOSES, AND SHE SAYS YES! Danny doesn’t have a ring, so Roadkill pulls out a condom and puts it on her finger what the fuck. Nova and Chetti comes out, Chetti is now wearing a cape and a top hat. WHAT THE FUCK!

Danny Doring & Roadkill (w/RAT) vs. Nova & Chris Chetti
This is what it is, Chetti is showing off his new male stripper/smurf gimmick. So it’s kinda a Danny/Roadkill showcase. Nova adds nothing apart from being god awful at everything. Roadkill was pretty good here he breaks out some cool athletic big man moves that carried the match. The match breaks down, and everyone delivers moves and shit. Chetti does the double springboard moonsault, he then grabs the mic and says it’s time to dance. He starts dancing again, Lita joins him. NOVA is pissed. She goes to slap him but he ducks and hits Chetti, so Chetti hits her with Death Valley Bomb. Chetti then hits Roadkill with one and they hit the splash/leg drop combo off the top for the win. *1/2

A replay of Tajiri turning on Taz.

Jason vs. Jazz
THIS GETS 6 FUCKIN’ MINUTES! NO! NEVER EVER IN MY LIFETIME!

Cyrus joins Joey Styles on commentary, Cyrus says he’s happy with his character development and he’s doing tremendous work. And his tagline “OH MY GOODNESS” is brilliant.

Little Guido (w/Big Sal E. Graziano) vs. Super Crazy
Joey and Cyrus do their best to try to hype up Guido so we look at him in the same light as Crazy, no byes. I will give Guido his credit, he looks jacked tonight like he’s been doing nothing but riods and juice since the last time we saw him live and not those edited spot shows thrown on Hardcore TV. Alright feeling out process to start, for some reason Cyrus and Joey keep lying and says Guido is better on the mat and is faster Also the longer the match, the better for Guido. Back and forth match, before they begin brawling in the crowd, Crazy hits a standing moonsault before heading up and hitting a moonsault off the bleachers. Back in the ring, it’s more back and forth with spots, nothing is sold or even really worked on. Sal interferes by power slamming Crazy on the concrete floor. E rolls Crazy in and Guido locks in the Sicilian Crab but Crazy grabs the ropes. Sal again comes in, as Guido has the ref distracted he hits the legdrop and Guido follows up with a diving headbutt for two. Crazy kicks out of a couple near falls and Guido randomly locks in a modified kamora, but then breaks it to do more spots. FUCK SAKE! Crazy makes a comeback and hits the crossed armed powerbomb for the win. **1/4 - **1/2

​

Falls Count Anywhere for the ECW Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz (w/Joel Gertner & Sign-Guy Dudley) vs. Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney
Balls is soaking wet like he was standing in the shower for a minute, he’s also wearing sleeves on his t-shirt and arm pads. PUSSY! So this is usual, Spike is miles better than Axl, and I like this team better. Right off the bat, Buh Buh press slams Spike on that shitty catwalk ramp. All 4 brawl, Buh Buh kills Balls with his own chair, he goes to do it to Spike but Spike avoids and hits the acid drop on the catwalk. D-Von comes off the top and nails Spike with the ring bell busting him open, more brawling. Sick moment, Buh Buh has a “Dudley Steet” street sign and bounce it off Spike’s head you can hear the knock. He then uses the cheese grater on Ball’s head busting him open, it gradually breaks down into a crowd brawl and quiet is kept, Spike is becoming the king of crowd brawling, his willingness to take bumps on the exposed floor and use of his surroundings are great. Buh Buh gets opened up with the greater, Spike does his balcony dive whipping out everyone before all 4 go back to the ring for the finishing stretch. The Dudleyz beat the shit out of Balls and Spike in the corner, they go for 3D but Spike blocks the lift with a cradle and Balls schoolboys Buh Buh for the pinfall. NEW CHAMPS! After the match; The Dudleyz attack them, they hit 3D on Balls and Spike. Joel and Sign-Guy bring 2 tables. They light both tables, but Buh Buh botches his powerbomb and completely misses the table and drops on his neck, D-Von then powerbombs Spike through his. NEW JACK! FUCKIN’ NEW JACK IS BACK! He beats up the Dudleyz before celebrating with Balls and Spike. *** - ***1/4

Tommy Dreamer comes out wearing this ridiculous silk shirt which is one size too small and this shorts that are two sizes too small. He has Francine with him, who looks great as usual. Tommy says if you think there wasn't going to be a Heatwave without the Queen of Extreme and the Innovator of Violence, you must be nuts. Tommy says as soon as this PPV is over he’s gonna go back to the hotel, get drunk, get naked and have one hell of an after party. He says he's supposed to make this huge announcement, but first 3 weeks ago he watched WWF King of the Ring three weeks ago and last week he watched WCW Bash at the Beach, and that one damn near put him to sleep. He says this puts nothing on the wrestlers for those companies because every wrestler just about deserves their respect, and says ECW is yet again setting the PPV standard Here we go again worrying about other companies instead of your own Tommy hypes up the TNN deal, he says from the bottom of his heart he thanks all the fans and says lets make ECW the number one federation in the world Tommy begins fake crying, teasing retirement. His acting is terrible Thankfully, Steve Corino, Rhino, and Jack Victory come out. Corino says he thinks what Dreamer was trying to say is, he’s a 28 year old has been. See Tommy, you are a casualty of this stupid hardcore wrestling and for six years, he's been a slave for ECW. He's fallen through 18 tables and bashed in the head with more chairs than anyone, spilled more blood than anyone that's ever walked into ECW. He says Tommy Dreamer's physical therapy isn't working. Tommy Dreamer's two herniated discs are not getting better and Tommy Dreamer needs back surgery. 1+1+1=Tommy Dreamer's career is over. He says he respected the Tommy in 1993 because he was a wrestler, but the people got to him and made him a cancer in ECW. The W in ECW still stands for wrestling, he asks Tommy if it was worth it. He nods so Corino yells that he's dead, he needs surgery, and his career is over and asks what's wrong with him. He says he gives the people what they want, WRESTLING! But Tommy had to prove something. Now he's got a role for him and since he's never ever going to wrestle on TNN and he will, he'd like him to do the traditional thing and to lay down for him. He'll even hook his leg because he respects the veterans, and he can go get a job somewhere else because Heatwave is his night. Tommy says he doesn't care if he leaves in a wheelchair but he's never laying down for someone who's been here 1/10th as long as him and he can shove it up his ass. Corino jumps him when he tries to leave and attacks his back, he begins attacking the back whole yelling at him. Tommy no-sells it and fights back. He beats on Corino and Francine hits a Tornado DDT and pins Corino. TAJIRI RUNS FROM THE BACK AND KICKS TOMMY IN THE HEAD! FUCK YEAH! FRANCINE SLAPS HIM SO HE KICKS HER LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HER! RHINO AND JACK VICTORY GET IN WITH THE JAPANESE FLAG AND TAJIRI PUTS TOMMY IN THE TARANTULA! CORINO PUNCHES AT HIM! BUT TAZ’S MUSIC HITS AND OUTCOMES TAZ! And the match is on.

ECW World Heavyweight Championship: Tajiri (w/Steve Corino, Rhino & Jack Victory) vs. Taz
This gets 10 minutes, Tajiri does his usual sequence of moves, kicks, dive into the crowd but when he goes for the Tarantula, Taz blocks, and counters with the Alabama Slam. Taz begins dumping Tajiri on his head and it’s AWESOME! Good back and forth match, Evil Tajiri is more methodical and seems to be pandering to crowd chants, he low blows him and begins kicking the shit out of his head but only gets 2. Taz blocks a moonsault by throwing him into Rhino and Corino on the walkway, he then throws the wheelchair into Victories head just because Taz powerbombs Tajiri on the ramp, while Corino and Rhino set up a table on the ramp. Taz baited Tajiri into kicking him over near it and catches a kick, he traps the arm and leg and suplex’s him through the table. Taz then looks at Corino so he runs to the back, Taz chases him but stops when he sees something. JOEY YELLS TO GO WIDE WITH THE CAMERA. IT’S BARBED WIRE! Taz picks it up and he begins choking TAJIRI WITH THE BARBED WIRE, HE THEN LOCKS IN THE TAZ MISSION WITH THE BARBED WIRE! IDK if Tajiri taps but Corino and other refs run down and stop it, I guess the match is over. After the match; Judge Jeff Jones runs out and yells at Taz so Taz throws him off the ramp, he grabs the mic and yells “I’M TAZ, THE ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU” Awesome match. ***1/4

The Impact Players (w/Dawn Marie) vs. Jerry Lynn & Rob Van Dam (w/Bill Alfonso)
Way too long, 21 minutes, it really didn’t need 21 minutes. Sadly they work this as this big main event tag match, so we 3 of the 4 combination matchups, Lynn/Credible, Strom/RVD, Lynn/Lance thankfully Credible whacks Lynn with the cane which leads to an Impact Players heat segment, I swear if they would have scratched that whole chain, counter wrestling to start and had the Players pearl harbor job RVD and Lynn and started the match at the cane spot I would have been much more hyped for this. Fuckin’ Lynn, he refuses to sell anything then he just goes right into his stupid fuckin’ rolling pin sequence, the only time that pin sequence is somewhat logical is at the beginning of the match when both are fresh, not mid or towards the end. Justin still throwing shade at Douglas even though he’s no longer in the company and now works at WCW by hitting the Razor’s Edge lol. This has so much filler, so I’m skipping to RVD hot tag which ruled, flying kicks and even busting out new moves. The match breaks down, Lynn bulldogs Credible on the ramp, which RVD hits his spinning leg lariat on the steel rails. RVD is on tonight, he’s flying around hitting all these crisp high spots, not even a botch. Lance and RVD have this great mini-match in the ring as Credible and Lynn watch on, adding nothing. The match again breaks down, Fonzie puts Justin on a table but as RVD goes to dive on him SABU RUNS FROM THE BACK AND STEALS RVD’s THUNDER BY DIVING ONTO JUSTIN, back in the ring, Lance takes out Lynn but as he goes for the cover RVD comes off the top with a frog splash, Lance moves and RVD hits Lynn by mistake, Lance covers by Lynn kicks out. FUCK OFF! RVD then hits Lynn with the Van Daminator and Lynn has now recovered and hits the cradle piledriver for the win. After the match; Lynn, Sabu and RVD all argue. Sabu shoves RVD into Lynn and all 3 begin fighting to end the show. **1/4

 

[Deezy]

Lynn was the high spot and kick out originator.....he's ruined more careers than Soma's did.

July 24th, 1999
Dayton, Ohio

A replay of the Tommy/Carino promo from the PPV.

Recap of the tag team championship match.

Backstage: Balls in a neck brace is with Spike, he says winning the titles from the Dudleyz was better than watching Sports Center, in his lazy boy with two naked Lesbian strippers on his lap. Spike asks was is? Balls says yes.

Recap of the world title match.

Recap of the tag team main event, along with the backstage promos from Lynn and RVD.

Backstage: Jerry Lynn calls Justin Credible is the biggest coward he's ever seen and Lance Storm is the biggest waste of talent this sport's ever seen, he could rule the world if pulled his heads out of his ass, but he should first pull his own head out of his ass for believing Rob Van Dam. He didn't double cross him or turn on him, but he let him get beat up all night so he could try and steal the glory, but he didn't let that happen. I smoked their asses. Maybe he's a little bitter. Or is that better? And that's something RVD is going to have to come to terms with.

They air the Sabu, RVD, Lynn brawl that ended the PPV.

Backstage: The Impact players cur a promo, Lance says this company is going national and we’re taking it over. Nobody is gonna stop us, The Sandman, Shane Douglas, and Tommy Dreamer all tried and we left them in a hospital. Now, Jerry Lynn, RVD, and Sabu are next, none of them can stop them on their own and after tonight, they're no longer unified. Divide and conquer. They'll beat them mentally or physically, because he's a professional athlete from CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA. Justin says that’s not just the coolest or the best. THAT’S JUST-IN-CREDIBLE!

RVD and Fonzie are in the empty arena after the show, Fonzie says RVD stole the show again. RVD says he carried yet another PPV just like he's carried this company to national exposure and now they can call him Mr. TNN where they can watch him Friday nights at 8 PM. He says he knows Jerry appreciates him carrying him at the PPV. Fonzie says no more title shots, and RVD says some people think this isn't RVD's title only, and he does what he wants. He says he's more than willing to put this on the line against Jerry Lynn since he's beaten like everybody. RVD asks if Sabu wants a shot now and Fonzie tries to say it was an accident. He says he got Sabu a belt last year, but he went and lost it, and here's some English for him. THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW! He tells Fonzie to teach him that

Joel Gertner cuts this long ass promo that has nothing to do with ECW

Taz cuts a promo saying, we invented hardcore, but now everything is doing it so now we have to up it. Burning tables, but he only ever needed his hands. And sometimes, his hands need to be upped now so he put barbed wire around them. He says he ain't your role model because I stuck the barbed wire down his fuckin throat. Why? Two reasons, 1. Because I wanted to, and 2. He laid me out in my hometown. He says this is real to me, what else is real is Tajiri you can’t eat sushi. BECAUSE YOUR MOUTH IS CUT UP! I CAN’T EVEN LIFT UP MY BABY SON BECAUSE MY FINGER IS CUT UP! But it was worth it. This isn't over because he's just starting with him. Steve Corino I TOLD don’t play with me, I’m gonna beat the living shit out of you, you can’t beat me brutha. It's just a matter of time when he gets both of these hands on his scrawny piece of shit body and I’m gonna take you out. He can bring guys in wheelchairs and tall guys and puffed up idiots because he wants more. HE NEEDS TO EAT, BRING ME SOMEBODY TO BEAT. Tajiri, I will not lose my belt or my job, nobody can beat me. I DON’T CLAIM TO BE IMPACT OR THE SHOW, I CLAIM ONE THING! MiSERABLE, ANGRY, MEAN MOTHERFUCKER! Tajiri it’s just begun. Beat me if you can, Survive if I let.

July 31st, 1999
New Orleans, Louisiana

The Dudleyz, Joel Gertner, and Sign-Guy are in the ring, Buh Buh begins ripping the fans and says if the crowd doesn’t shut the hell up they’re going him. The crowd begins going nuts, one fan throws his beer into the ring.

ECW Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz (w/Sign-Guy Dudley & Joel Gertner) vs. Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney
This is different, they work a tornado match right from the jump it’s mostly brawling and moves, they don’t introduce weapons until 5 minutes in. Balls wrestles the match in a neck brace, we then get the usual spots cheese grater, chairs and shit like that. But it seems to be a very toned down version of the PPV match, they do add some new stuff e.g Balls randomly hitting this sweet Belly-to-belly suplex, the crowd brawl is great once again because Spike allows Buh Buh to throw him around with no regard to his body, and D-Von/Balls beat the shit out of one another. Back in the ring, Buh Buh hits a sit down BuhBuh bomb off the top. He then looks into the camera and says “we not just gonna beat them, we’re gonna kill them” Buh Buh then piledrives Balls on a steel chair. FUCK YEAH! Despicable Dudleyz. They proceed to beat the living shit out of them until Spike makes this great desperation comeback and Balls feeds off Spike energy and makes his own comeback. All 4 start doing spots, BUH BUH STOPS SPIKE MOMENTUM DURING THE ACID DROP AND THROWS HIM THROUGH A TABLE SET AT RINGSIDE. The Dudleyz continue to mug and attempt to kill backs until Balls breaks up the 3D with a chair to Buh Buh and Spike hits D-Von with the Acid Drop on the chair and covers for the win. After the match; The Dudleyz tease fighting one another, but end up hugging it out. ***

Joey Styles talks about the Dudleyz legacy and everything they’ve accomplished.

Tommy Dreamer vs. Lance Storm from Hardcore Heaven 199 airs in FULL. Joey says this could be Tommy Dreamer's last match as he's going through with potentially career-ending back surgery.

Roadkill, Danny Doring and his RAT aka Lita, who is now called Angelica come out. BUT NEVER MIND THAT! SABU RUNS OUT! He beats them both up as Fonzie sets up a table on the floor. Angelica tries to save Doring from the table dive, BUT FONZIE SUPERKICKS HER! HOLY SHIT lmao Fonzie then pulls her onto the table and Sabu hits the double jump elbow drop through her and the table. Sabu does RVD's pose and has RVD’s name on his arm tape, Justin Credible then comes through the crowd and nails Sabu with the cane to end the show. GOD DAMMIT! YOU WANNA TALK ABOUT MAKE ROMAN LOOK STRONG, HAS JUSTIN LOST A FEUD OR EVEN HAD HIS COMEUPPANCE? LOOKED STONG FOR 2 YEARS. FUCKING HELL!

ECW Hardcore TV: Episode 328
August 7th, 1999
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The show opens with Jerry Lynn pinning Jason with a cradle piledriver, but before he can celebrate the Impact Players rush out and beat him down. Credible cane’s him in the head, busting him open.

Joey Styles is in the ring and welcomes us to the show, he says we are counting the days until ECW makes its debut on national TV. He brings out the tag team champions, Joey says they have an open challenge to any tag team in the world, on one condition. They have to face them in a no-rules, extreme death match. Balls says to bring out any tag team with the BALLS TO FACE THEM. Suddenly, Axl Rotten comes out. He says not a lot has changed since he’s been gone, Philly still has the sickest fans in wrestling, he says a couple of months ago he and balls made a promise, and that promise was if they didn’t beat the Dudleyz they would come back and kick the shit out of one another. WELL, he’s here to FIGHT! Joey asks can he ask a question, and Axl says no you can’t ask me a question, what do you want to know? Joey asks who his partner is……………NEW JACK!!!! HOLY SHIT! I LOW-KEY MARKED OUT! I’m a sucker for mesh up tag matches.

Extreme Death Match for the ECW Tag Team Champions: Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney vs. Axl Rotten & New Jack
Jack gives no fucks and beats the shit out of Spike, as Balls and Axl just watch on. Jack brings out a fuckin staple gun and staples Spike in the head. Axl begins forking the shit out of Balls’ forehead as we go to a commercial. When we return, everyone is bloodied and beating the shit out of one another. All 4 brawl to where the stage is and Spike hits an acid drop to New Jack through a table which had balls on it. They fight back to the ring, where Balls brings out a table and lighter fluid. He lights the table and spinebusters Axl through the table for the win. After the match; All 4 show mutual signs of respect, FUCK THAT NEW JACK punches Balls. Axl murders Balls with a chair shot, he places a table in the crowd and Jack puts spike through it with an elbow off the top.

In the ring, Justin Credible is cane’ing D-Von, but Lynn runs down to get him some. Lance then makes the save followed by Buh Buh. All fight, okay then. Joey then recaps things saying a dream partner six man tag. The Impact Players chose Jerry Lynn, and when the Dudleys refused to pick one, RVD was chosen for them.

It then cuts to Lynn/RVD doing their counter wrestling thing, with the Dudleyz in one corner and Kamala and Credible in the other. Okay, then. I guess that match was god awful as they cut to post-match fuckery, Joel, who has finally taken the neck brace off is in the ring, The Dudleyz are mad and hit him with a 3D. RIP! AMAZING 20 MINUTE PRE-MATCH PROMOS The crowd begins celebrating and thanking the Dudleyz.

After a commercial, we again cut to finish of that dream 6 man match, what the fuck is going on?

Guido comes out and says he is the only man in ECW to make him tap, and he wants his World Title match. And slaps Tajiri in his jaw (I should mention, Tajiri has his jaw and throat taped up)

Tajiri (w/Steve Corino & Jack Victory) vs. Little Guido (w/Big Sal E. Graziano & Tony DeVito)
For some reason, Guido controls the majority of the match with his awful “tough guy”/” little man syndrome” gimmick. Like this match goes 7 minutes and Guido has 5-6 of those minutes. Tajiri’s offense is mostly kicks, but they’re amazing so I’ll give this terrible booked match a pass. GuIdio hurts his leg on a leg drop so Tajiri targets it before locking in a clover leaf and Guido taps. **1/4

DeVito and Sal come in after the match to protect GuIdio, but suddenly DeVito turns on Sal and hits him with a steel chair. Corino and co begin beating on Sal. Corino grabs the mic and asks if they're happy now. He says this is another two victims of stupid hardcore wrestling. He says it doesn’t have to end Dreamer, he says Tommy is sitting and watching what he Sal is feeling. Corino says Tommy can sit with his slut, and wish he could be him and a superstar that he will be on TNN. But he's just a mark now like everyone else in the crowd on the other side of the guard rail unable to do anything. And if he could, he'd beat him like at Heatwave, Tommy and Francine come through the crowd and get onto the apron. Corino says to get in here and let him pin him like he offered at Heatwave, and he can be the INNOVATOR OF EVERYTHING! Tommy asks if he wants to end his career and be famous. Corino says yeah, and Tommy says they can end his career but he's taking one of them with him. Tommy fights everyone and breaks the Japanese flag on Victory's leg. Tommy and Francine put Victory and Corino in Stereo Figure Fours. BUT TAJIRI SPRAYS GREEN MIST IN FRANCINE'S FACE! Tajiri then kicks Tommy in the face, DeVito brings a table in and they put Tommy on it………….BUT TAZ COMES OUT! Corino, Victory and Tajiri bail, but Tommy grabs DeVito ankle. He tries to Powerbomb Taz, but he lifts him up and hits the Alabama Slam through the table instead. Corino has the mic and says he can kill Tony all he wants, but he'll never kill him. BECAUSE I’M STEVE CORINO. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN. KEEP THE TITLE IF I LET YOU lmao Taz says no, no, no you stupid fuck. I AM THE WORLD CHAMP! WCW, WWF, JAPAN, CANADA, IT DOESN’T MATTER MOTHERFUCKER! BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!

ECW Hardcore TV: Episode 329
August 14th, 1999
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Closing segment from last week's show airs.

Then they air the Jason/Jazz match from Heat Wave ’99 in full, fuck off. Also RIPHardcore TV Streak of good shows. To make matters worse Joey says we’re getting the rematch next week. FUCK EVERYTHING!

Simond Diamond makes his debut, he says Simond has a problem, you see the authorities in the back say he needs a tag partner, personally, I don’t feel I need a tag partner to beat a superhero wannabe and a Ricky Morton look alike. But, rules are rules. He asks Tom Marquez…..but says he didn’t say Simond says so no. He then calls for anyone in the back………SUPER CRAZY comes out.

Nova & Chris Chetti vs. Simond Diamond & Super Crazy
Well to waste Crazy’s talent on these 3 fucktards. When we return the match has already begun, Crazy does some dives and Simond adds nothing along with Nova and Chetti. Diamond keeps referring to himself in the third person, refuses to let Crazy win because he wants to win his debut so hits him with the three Moonsaults and leaves, allowing Nova and Chetti to hit the double splash off the top for the win. Blah.

Replay of Tajiri turning on Taz.

Taz says he can hear the scream now, he can hear Tajiri screaming in Japanese for him to release the most vicious hold in the business. He says everybody said he went too far at Heatwave and crossed the line, but he didn't. People ask why he didn't just make him tap in the ring, 2 reasons. 1, I didn’t want it to go down like that and 2, you picked the fight in Queens, brutha. so he feels the fight should end in Queens. Taz says he often thinks about Corino and wonders about Steve Corino's little brain, but he likes his little game they have. And that's real bad for him. The barbed wire deal was nothing and Tajiri is dead in Queens. He’s gonna make his tap out and he wants Corino to do one thing, take his hand and put it on his throat and squeeze, feel the pain. He tells Corino that that's what he's got coming when he chokes the life out of him. You can pull your own hand off your own throat, but who's gonna pull his hands off Corino's throat. Tajiri is in a world of shit. WHERE I’M FROM! IT’S KILL OR BE KILLED! I’M TAZ THE ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!

now we're trying to make Steve Corino a viable heel....between him and Justin Credible, no wonder this place didn't make any money.

ECW Hardcore TV: Episode 330
August 21st, 1999
Toledo, Ohio

WHY THE FUCK ARE WE OPENING UP WITH THE FINISH BETWEEN A Uganda/Kamala match vs. Spanish Angel?

Joey Styles welcomes us to the show, he says the Dudleyz have signed with the WWF. But first, ECW are gonna show us the footage of the Dudleyz regaining the tag team titles in Cleveland.

Fan Cam Footage: Spike/Balls vs. The Dudleyz for the tag titles, Buh Buh powerbombs Spikes off a bar table through a table. He then drags Spike up to the balcony with the fans and beats the shit out of him, Buh Buh then starts challenging the fans which gives Spike the opportunity to come back on him. They brawl around the building and eventually make their way back to the ring. Buh Buh throws a steel guard rail onto Spike but when he steps on the rails and Spike he slips to a huge “You Fucked Up” chant. Spike comes back and hits an acid drop onto the same rails on the floor moments later. Spike then leaves to climb the balcony and hits a crossbody to Buh Buh on the floor. The Dudleyz continue to beat up Balls and Spike in the typical ECW/Dudleyz fashion. Buh Buh complains about a slow count so they try to beat up the ref Jim Molineaux, but he counters and gives them a double clothesline. Spike and Balls hit their stereo finishers but Sign-Guy breaks it up with a loaded sign shot. Spike again goes for an Acid Drop but Buh Buh throws him off and through a table on the floor. Balls destroy’s them with chair shots. He puts a table up with thumbtacks on it but gets Powerbombed through it. Spike then crawls in so the Dudleyz 3D him and cover for the win.

Joey hypes up the possibility of the Dudleyz handing over the belts to Vince McMahon and the WWF.

The Dudleyz are in the bathroom, Buh Buh says in a promotion filled with misfits, in a promotion full of outcasts, you're looking at three brothers from Dudleyville, the biggest misfits and the biggest outcasts this world has ever seen. Goofy guys wearing glasses with tape and tie-dyed shirts, but goofy guys who did it their way. They gave their notice and everyone knows the Dudley Boyz are on their way out, but the question is “Are we gonna do the ring thing by ECW?” The Public Enemy passed the torch to the Gangstas who passed it to the Eliminators who passed it to Sabu and Van Dam. Me and D-Von took the torch from everybody. They're not doing the right thing. They're not doing the job. He's not putting anybody over, D-Von isn’t putting anybody over. They're the greatest tag team to ever step foot in an ECW ring and they plan to keep it that way. Now, they're doing something they should have done a hell of a long time ago. They're taking the belts, heading on I95 and heading to the capital of hardcore wrestling, Stamford, CT. They're going to the front door, up the elevator to the top and to the office of the man that means EVERYTHING in professional wrestling. To the office of the man that's going to make them millionaires and let them do whatever they please. To the office of their hero and savior, Vince McMahon. They're going to take the belts and lay them at his feet and give him their souls because the people don't deserve to see the Dudley Boyz here ever again. And if you ever want to see these titles again, all you have to do is tune into WWF Monday Night RAW. Now get the hell outta here.

Backstage: Cyrus is with Lance Storm, Dawn Marie, Justin Credible, and Jason. Cyrus says he carried Joey on commentary, but now he’s just a stand-in for…..Steven Prazak. OH, MY GOD! Justin says he and Lance have just become America’s most wanted and everyone is gunning for them. When you think we’re going high, we’re going low, when you think we’re ahead, we change the directions. Lance says everyone asks how you beat 10 guys to take over a company, but they make 10 guys beat themselves. Divide and conquer. Nobody can stop them. That's not just the coolest or the best, but that's just incredible.

Rhino vs. Tom Marquez
FUCK YEAH! Rhino, he’s still a little green so his squash matches aren’t the same as it would be in 2000 ECW or even WWF pre-broken neck. Anyway, Rhino beats the shit out of him and curses the whole time. He hits this gross looking piledriver and covers for the win.

Jason pulls up on Rhino in the back and congratulates him on his match, he says he has a problem and would like him to deal with. Corino then rushes over and congratulates him too, Jason then cuts in with “I need someone taken out” so Corino says who. Tazz? Jerry Lynn? RVD? Sabu? Jason says no, his problem is a little more ferocious and vicious...JAZZ. Corino sends Rhino to the back and Corino says he’ll do it, Jason then hands him, someone. Corino says he’ll do it BECAUSE HIS NAME IS CORINO. I GOT THE CASH, AND I’M GONNA TAKE OUT THE GASH Victory is happy and Corino says the camera's on, so he goes back to faking his injury and sits back in the wheelchair.

Backstage: Fonzie is with RVD, he says they call him Mr. Friday Night and on this show, Mr. Syndication. RVD says this isn't a re-run with him talking about him defending the TV Title because he's had this for decades and it's the longest title reign ever. RVD says he's doing what comes naturally to him and that's smoking the competition. Basically, THE WHOLE FUCKIN’ SHOW!

RVD video package airs.

Lance Strom and Dawn Marie video package airs, the way ECW is hurting for content right now

Jazz vs. Steve Corino (w/Jack Victory & Rhino)
This happens, smh. This goes 5 minutes, Corino bumps and sells a shit ton for her before he just stops. Tommy and Francine come out to cheer on Jazz, Corino constantly eggs on Tommy for a fight, during this Rhino sets up a table in the corner but as he goes Alabama slam she rolls through, he taunts her for not finishing so she grabs his balls. She begins to attack his nuts so Victory makes the save, that leads to Francine making the save. The woman hit stereo bronco busters a and DDT’s for the win. SMH! After the match; the girls hug and celebrate. BUT FUCK THAT! TAJIRI hits the ring, he kicks Tommy in the face and sprays red mist in the face of Jazz and Francine. Tajiri hits Tommy with the Tree of Woe Dropkick and they lay the Japanese flag over Tommy him. Corino does Tommy's pose and Taz runs out to end the show. *3/4

ECW Wrestling on TNN: Episode 1
August 27th, 1999
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

So here it is, the DEBUT show on TNN. I think you know the story by now, Heyman hated the first show which took place in Toledo, he thought the crowd sucked. yeah, that’s right. Heyman tried to have his first show on a network take place in a place he’s never been before. JESUS Christ. So, as a result, we get a clips/best of show. YAY!

The show opens with Balls being put through a flaming table for the first time in Philly, Joey Styles says this is not WCW, this is not WWF, THIS IS ECW!

Joey gives a list of all past wrestlers to hold the ECW TV Championship, they then air RVD/Lynn from Hardcore Heaven in full, a couple of edit jobs but for the most part, it’s aired in full, well that’s 20 minutes of the show done.

Joey then namedrops all the wrestlers that are now in WCW and WWF, that have never won the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. They then air the Douglas throwing down the NWA title again. Oh look at that, this happens on August 27th, 1994. UGH!

Taz/Rhino airs from the June 26th, 1999 show in Villa Park, Illinois.

A video package on Sabu airs, he’s still BANNED IN THE UNITED STATES! That is unless you go to any live ECW event or order any of their PPV’s. BUT HE’S STILL BANNED!

Spike vs. Big Sal from a Queens show airs.

Backstage: Jason introduces himself as the sexiest man on earth, Justin Credible then announces himself as the one-man crime spree, Lance Strom says he’s the greatest natural athlete in this sport or any other. HI, I’m his personal bitch, BYTCH! Honey, I’m a star on TNN, how do you spell that Cyrus say’s he’s the host of ECW on PPV and boost the ratings. He says he can’t get the camera time or mic time, but he’s okay with that and will get over regardless. Clips air of them beating up everyone.

ECW video package airs of the current roster in ECW, with highlights and names under.

Taz says all the talk is about ECW and TNN, he says think about the guys that take Hardcore and Extreme to another level. Chair shots, barbed-wire, flaming tables but when the smoke clears. It’s just me standing with the two most vicious weapons in the business, THESE HANDS! I don’t need a weapon, you can ask all the “Superstars” that have stepped foot in this company. Chris Jericho, Shane Douglas, Bam Bam Bigelow, 2 Cold Scorpio, Chris Candido and Jerry Lawler. He says he’s the guy your mother warned you about, he say’s he's not a role model. And will not be in the media with celebrities. Taz says he will dump anyone on their heads and choke them out, why? BECAUSE I’M TAZ, THE ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION. BEAT ME IF YOU CAN, SURVIVE IF I LET YOU!

Hey doesn’t he sign a WWF contract in the next 2 weeks

Terrible debut show, just gonna name drop all the “rival companies top talent names” no wonder TNN want out so fast and the company died.

ECW Hardcore TV: Episode 331
August 28th, 1999

Recap of the Corino/Jazz match and the aftermath, it picks up where the show ended, Taz comes out and Tazplex’s Rhino through a table. He grabs a mic and says, TAJIRI! IN 7 DAYS BROTHA! I’MA DUMP YOU ON YOUR HEAD AND YOU WILL TAP OUT! I am the guy your mother warned you about. Beat me if you can, survive if I let you.

Joey Styles welcomes us to the show, they then air the Rhino squash from last week again in full.

Backstage: Danny, Roadkill, and Miss Congeniality, she says Roadkill smells and Doring calms her down and says he's working on a farm all day. Chickens.

Backstage: Steve Corino, Tajiri, Rhino and Jack Victory are in a hallway. Corino says before my time in the childhood of Jack Victory, there was a television show called Barnaby Jones. He comes close he'd come this close every time to catching his man, but when he got that close, the bad guys ould run him off the road yell "DIE! YOU SON OF A GUN!" Case and point, they must be THIS close, because Tommy Dreamer tried to cripple Jack like Christopher Reeve, but Jack Victory is his Superman. He says Taz should be put in jail for assault, he tried to put out the hottest rookie in professional wrestling and Tommy Dreamer and Taz and Super Crazy are all gunning for the Japanese Buzzsaw. Because they're THIS close and sooner, not later, they're going to be on top in ECW.

Tajiri (w/Steve Corino & Jack Victory) vs. Super Crazy
This is really good as usual, granted it’s like beating a dead horse but now with Tajiri as this dick heel they have that element added. We, for the most part, get the usual spots and dives, but with Tajiri as the heel, he leads the match and everything is slowed down and the dives along with the high impact spots are allowed to breathe after. Both men bump well, with little to no selling at all and with that being said they know one another so well that neither man really has control for a long period of time or even longer than 2 moves. At one point, Corino and Victory tries to interfere but that backfires, that allows Tajiri to recover so when Crazy rolls in Tajiri sprays green mist in his face, double dropkick to the face and a brainbuster for the win. **3/4

ECW Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz (w/Sign-Guy Dudley) vs. Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney
This is the usual stuff they don’t really add new stuff to their matches, it’s just great brawling. Spike dives off a ladder onto all 3 as we go to a commercial, once we return everyone is bloodied and we go into the usual pairing. BuhBuh/Spike on the floor and brawl through the crowd which they do so well. Balls/D-Von in the ring and D-Von brings out the cheese grater to use before they have their own brawl in the crowd. Buh Buh’s shit talking and kissing up to Vince is hilarious, he randomly shouts out “Vince, I love you” and “I know Vince respects us” this is really long like the whole match is like 20+ minutes. The Dudleyz hit an inverted 3D but Balls kick out, they then go into the Molineaux spot but the Dudleyz doesn't bump for him this time Balls and Spike sneak rolls them up for two, they then hit a series of moves for a close near falls. Balls and Spike hit the Nutcracker and Acid Drop in stereo finisher but Sign-Guy whacks the ref and breaks up the count. They then build a stack of tables on top of one another on the floor, they try to put Sign-Guy through but the Dudleyz break it up. Buh Buh THEN LIGHTS BOTH TABLES ON FIRE AND HE POWERBOMBS SPIKE THROUGH THEM! HOLY SHIT! Buh Buh continues to look down at Spike on the apron, D-Von then grabs a chair and as Buh Buh holds onto Balls, as D-Von swings Balls ducks and Buh Buh gets hit with the chair knocking him off the apron. Balls then hits the Nutcracker suite and covers D-Von for the win. ***

The Dudleyz get a standing ovation before getting “Na, Na, Na” sung towards them.

Dudleys obviously didn't subscribe to the "less is more" philosophy.

ECW Wrestling on TNN: Episode 2
September 2nd, 1999
Queens, New York

ECW World Heavyweight Championship: Tajiri (w/Steve Corino & Jack Victory) vs. Taz
Fun 4-minute sprint as KIF would say, Taz is out for blood, so he’s super aggressive as usual. Tajiri is Tajiri, great kicks, and bumps. The match is back and forth, I love that Taz has Tajiri’s high kicks scouted so everything Tajiri throws them Taz catches the leg and suplexes him. Taz practically knocks Tajiri unconscious before further caving in his face with a series of forearms. They have this awesome counter sequence gif is below before Taz locks in the Tazmission for the win. **1/2

Joey Styles is in the ring and welcomes us to the show, interrupted by Joel Gertner. He say’s he’s now the TNN color commentator and the true host of this program……..Joel “I’m just like a Rubik's Cube, the more you play with it the harder it gets” Gertner. Joey brings out Jerry Lynn to talk NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Lynn says he didn’t come here to waste time and cut a boring promo like they do on Monday nights. He says TNN is in the house and he’s here to show the difference between WCW/WWF and ECW. Jesus Lynn says tonight he wants to bring us the best match in wrestling…….SO ROB VAN DAM! I challenge you for your title. Fonzie comes out and says Lynn is never getting a title match and slaps him so RVD runs out for the save, they have this mini-brawl which gets broken up but security.

Joel says this is the Dudleyz last night and Lynn/RVD next week.

ECW Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz (w/Sign-Guy Dudley) vs. Spike Dudley & Balls Mahoney
This is the usual, but really good as it’s toned down on the violence and is only 6 minutes or so. All 4 brawl, we get the usual pairing too BuhBuh/Spike do fun stuff while D-Von/Balls occupy the ring. Once we come back from a commercial, Balls, and Spike hit the acid drop/nutcracker suite in stereo but the Dudleyz kick out. They go for it again, but Buh Buh throws spike off through the timekeeper's table on the floor. Balls then murders them with chair shots, D-Von’s seizure selling makes a return Balls sets up a table with thumbtacks, but the numbers are too much and Buh Buh powerbombs him through the table………SPIKE MAKES THE SAVE! But the Dudleyz hit him with a 3D and cover for the win. EIGHT TIME-TAG CHAMPIONS! **1/2

Joey Styles says we are witnessing a black day in ECW, suddenly the tape cuts and the Dudleyz are back in the ring. Buh Buh says in ECW, boys become men. In ECW, men become heroes but in the WWF…..HEROS BECOME LEGENDS! And legends become GODS! And if GOD was a heel he would be the Dudley Boyz. So before we take these belts to the true city of hardcore wrestling, Stanford, Connecticut. Buh Buh says there’s one more thing we gotta do, now that we’ve beaten this company it’s time to ruin this company and suck the life, blood, the soul, and the backbone of ECW right out and something they should have finished a long time ago. He calls out Tommy Dreamer to get his broken back and useless piece of dog trash to defend this 6-year-old company. Tommy comes out, as Paul E. tries to stop him, we then cut to a video package of Tommy highlights. Francine comes out and Buh Buh says oh look another two-dollar whore just happen to show up, Joel then asks Joey to borrow a dollar 85, something just came up lmao Buh says we’re taking these belts and throwing them down on national TV. Buh brings up Beulah and says when she was laid up in the hospital paralyzed from the neck down, he and D-Von taught her the real meaning of double teamlmao wait isn’t that RAPE? Tommy has heard enough and hits the ring, the bell rings and I guess we got a match.

ECW Tag Team Championships: The Dudley Boyz (w/Sign-Guy Dudley) vs. Tommy Dreamer (w/Francine)
More of an angle than a real match, but it’s enjoyable. Tommy uses weapons as a partner and has some success early on. The numbers catch up on Tommy and Buh Buh whips him into the ladder and hits a back suplex right on his neck. They replay that for at least 45 seconds so we some jobber faces trying to save Tommy as they’re laid out on the outside now. The Dudleyz proceed to beat the shit out of Tommy, Sign-Guy tries to get them to stop but they shove him down. FUCK YEAH! they go for 3D but Tommy counters the lift into a DDT……………………….HOLY FUCKING SHIT RAVEN HITS THE RING AND HITS AN EVENFLOWS DDT’S BUH BUH! He and Tommy both cover for the win. After the match; Tommy turns around and Raven gives him the belt. Styles hypes this moment up as a nightmare for Dreamer. Dreamer has finally won a World Championship in wrestling, but he has to share it with his biggest rival in history.

 

[Deezy]

So why was Francine with Dreamet when everyone knew he was with beulah?

be prepared for Raven/Dreamer misunderstanding angles.
