Again, show remastered with full promos instead of recap. I'll let this show be the last I post for a bit in here, as this show has one of the bigger moments in the entire BTB.

ECW Hardcore TV
July 28th, 2001
Knoxville, Tennessee

Yeah, so no messing around tonight, we are kicking off with a title defense straight off the bat...

Match One
ECW Television Championship Match

Low Ki (c) defends against Jerry Lynn

After being an arrogant champion, Jerry Lynn seems to have learnt his lesson, looking like a man on a mission in the early stages tonight. He attacked Ki right from the bell, seemingly shocking the champion, and Lynn manages to maintain his dominance for quite a long time. The fans are silent, almost in shock with how well Lynn has started the match, with the only noise being Lynn grabbing Ki around the head and yelling at him, “THE TITLE BELONGS TO ME”!

Throughout the contest, there are numerous times where the camera cuts to the backstage area, showing The Network, and especially Cyrus, watching on intently. As you can expect, when Lynn is in control, they are content, however when Ki begins to show signs of life, the tension in The Network’s locker room certainly picks up.

Despite Low Ki making a comeback and seemingly on the verge of victory, Lynn manages to turn the match on its head. After a bunch of reversals and neither able to land a big move, LYNN SNEAKS A LOW BLOW TO LOW KI!!!

With Ki down, JERRY LYNN SETS HIM UP FOR THE CRADLE PILEDRIVER...

LYNN HOISTS KI INTO THE AIR...

BUT KI SOMEHOW FREES HIS HEAD...

AND WRIGGLES HIS BODY...

FORCING LYNN TO PLACE HIM OVER HIS SHOULDER... IN A POWERSLAM POSITION...

BUT LOW KI SQUIRMS FURTHER...

AND DROPS DOWN THE BACK OF LYNN...

TAKING JERRY DOWN WITH A SUNSET FLIP...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Low Ki @ 12:26

As soon as the bell rings, Low Ki rolls underneath the bottom rope and to the outside, relieved with perhaps pulling off an upset yet again. Ki grabs his title, raises it above his head and leaves the ringside area, still the TV Champ.

Meanwhile, inside of the ring, Jerry Lynn is furious as he remains on his knees, slapping his hands on the mat, basically throwing a temper tantrum. A red faced Lynn begins arguing with referee Todd Hanson, who swears it was a three count...

SO LYNN KICKS HANSON IN THE GUT...

AND DRILLS HIM WITH A CRADLE PILEDRIVER!!!


The referee is down and out, so ‘Damage Control’ immediately rushes the ring to check on him. Lynn, still frustrated, just shakes his head, ignoring the cat calls from the fans, and heads to the back, a loser once again...

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Upon returning from the commercial break, we head to the backstage area where JOEY STYLES AND JOEL GERTNER are standing by. The two look rather gleeful surrounding the topic they are about to discuss.

Joey Styles: Well, we saw a heinous act from a desperate man in Jerry Lynn right before the break. After losing the ECW Television Championship to Low Ki at Heatwave two weeks ago, he had his rematch here tonight and lost yet again. What we saw after that, well, Jerry Lynn snapped and is clearly wondering about his standing within The Network.

Gertner nods in agreement with Styles.

Joel Gertner: I was surprised that The Network and Cyrus were so forgiving after Lynn’s first loss. I can’t see the same happening again.

Styles takes back over.

Joey Styles: It already felt like he wasn’t a natural fit in the group, he is always alienated from the others. The one thing that kept him in everybody’s good graces was at least he had the TV Title. That’s no longer the case; the title is gone and he’s lost his rematch.

Now Gertner rubs his hands together, getting even more excited.

Joel Gertner: The Jerry Lynn situation is just one question, but there are a lot of questions about The Network going into tonight’s Fatal Four Way. As a matter of fact, our camera man picked this up earlier today before, well, just take a look, you’ll see.

...

The video comes to life and shows RHINO AND STEVE CORINO having a discussion in the hallway, with Corino looking intimidated and the ECW Champ looking extremely animated. The camera clearly gets closer and closer, ever so slowly, allowing us to be able to pick up the volume of their conversation.


Rhino: DID YOU SET THIS UP?

‘The King Of Old School’ holds his hands up, proclaiming innocence.

Steve Corino: No, of course not. I had no idea Cyrus would put me in the match. We’re on the same team; I don’t want to go after your title.

Rhino clearly doesn’t believe that and the slimy Corino decides to keep talking.

Steve Corino: Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to lie to you, simply for the fact that I consider you a friend.

Rhino’s expression doesn’t soften, apparently not buying the ‘friend’ comment.


Steve Corino: I’m just like every other person in the locker room, I want the ECW Title. But I’m happy to bide my time, right now is your time, we are a part of the same team, so when you lose the title, THEN I’ll go after it.

Corino offers a reassuring nod but the mention of Rhino losing the title seems to have driven Rhino bananas. He shakes his head in absolute disgust.

Rhino: When I lose it? I’m never going to lose it…

The furious champion takes a threatening step towards Corino, however Corino nods in agreement with him.

Steve Corino: Okay, okay, fair point, I know how good you are. After all, that’s the reason I brought you to ECW.

Rhino begins nodding like a crazy person now.

Rhino: You’re right, I owe you that.

Suddenly, Rhino loses his mind with rage.

Rhino: You brought me into ECW, I owe you that one thing… AND THAT’S THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN’T BROKEN YOUR FUCKING NECK AND TURNED THIS MATCH BACK INTO A THREE WAY!!!”

Corino’s eyes go wide as Rhino gets closer...

Rhino: I’m warning you, don’t screw me…

AND RHINO GRABS CORINO BY THE THROAT...

ONLY TO TURN HIS HEAD...

AND NOTICE THE CAMERA...

SUDDENLY, RHINO ASSUMEDLY GRABS THE CAMERA MAN AND RAMS HIM INTO THE HALLWAY...

A GLASS SHATTERING NOISE IS HEARD...

AND OUR FEED CUTS AWAY...

...


Match Two
Christian York and Joey Matthews vs. Hot Commodity w/Julio Dinero

This is simply a showcase match for York and Matthews, whilst they aren’t winning the titles right now, this win is just for you, Wolfy. Oh hey, I didn’t have to adjust that opening sentence because whilst he has a worse username, Wolfy is now here at WS. Yay. Anyway, York and Matthews easily take care of both men, and for the last few moments of the match, they isolate EZ Money.

To his credit, EZ does what he can, BUT MATTHEWS TAKES HIM OUT WITH A MASSIVE FRANKENSTEINER FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!

ONLY FOR YORK TO COME OFF WITH A FLYING ELBOW DROP FROM THE TOP ALSO!!!

YORK PINS EZ MONEY...

1...2...3!!!

Winners – Christian York and Joey Matthews @ 2:30

After the match, York and Matthews have their hands raised by the referee, and they celebrate to the cheers of the fans...

ONLY TO BE ATTACKED...


BY THE FULL BLOODED ITALIANS!!!

LITTLE GUIDO, TONY MAMALUKE AND SAL E. GRAZIANO
BEGIN PUMMELLING YORK AND MATTHEWS!!!

Guido directs traffic and Mamaluke drops Matthews with a DDT, whilst Sal just Body charges York.

Guido heads to the top rope...

AND COMES OFF WITH A SICILIAN SLICE, TAKING OUT MATTHEWS!!!

Meanwhile, BIG SAL LANDS A BODY SPLASH ONTO YORK!!!


The FBI celebrates with rude hand gestures to the booing fans, having sent the message that they wanted to tonight...

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

We return from the commercial break with real grainy footage, hearing some yelling and screaming taking place in the arena’s parking lot. Eventually, the camera man zeroes in on the reason for the commotion as DA BALDIES AND THE HARRIS BROTHERS ARE FIGHTING IN THE PARKING LOT!!!

All four men are doing all they can to ram the others into cars and cause all sorts of mayhem...

UNTIL TWO POLICE CARS THAT ARE DRIVING PAST PULL OVER AT THE SCENE!!!

A barrage of police officer’s enter the scene, and despite all four wrestler’s scratching and clawing to get at each other, the police men manage to stop the carnage for the meantime...

...


Right before our main event, we head backstage to JOEY STYLES AND JOEL GERTNER, ready to promote some stuff.

Joey Styles: Ladies and gentlemen, tickets are still on sale for the next set of ECW TB Tapings which will take place in Birmingham, Alabama next weekend. Some of the confirmed matches for the next few weeks include:

Eye Balls vs. Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible
Kid Kash vs. Steve Corino
Low Ki will once again defend the ECW Television Championship
Rhino vs. Tommy Dreamer


And just like that, it’s time for the main event of the evening...

Match Three
ECW Championship Match – Fatal Four Way

Rhino (c) defends against Steve Corino w/Dawn Marie and Jack Victory, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer

The match almost starts off as a traditional ECW tag brawl, with no tags actually taking place, but this is just a two on two slugfest. Obviously, it’s Rhino and Corino taking on The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. There is fighting in the crowd, Singapore Cane shots and other weapons being used all over the place, and not a lot of teamwork or double team moves take place. However, a few times Rhino is so zeroed in on beating the hell out of The Sandman that Tommy sneaks from behind with a Roll Up, and another time he attempts to Piledrive Rhino off of the apron, but both times, the crafty Corino makes the save.

When saving Rhino from the Piledriver, he drags Rhino back into the ring, but Corino then immediately gets grabbed by Dreamer. From the apron. TOMMY HOOKS CORINO UP...

AND SUPLEXES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND THROUGH THE TIME KEEPER’S TABLE OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!

On that huge spot, we head to a commercial break...

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

After the break, we come back to the scene of a struggling Rhino being double teamed by both Sandman and Dreamer. They end up pinballing him around, taking turns smashing him across the head with Singapore Canes, much to the delight of the fans. Unfortunately neither man can put Rhino away, and out of frustration, they throw him outside of the ring.

The Sandman looks set to follow Rhino to the outside...

BUT TOMMY AMBUSHES THE SANDMAN WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE FACE!!!

TOMMY QUICKLY FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DREAMER DRIVER BEFORE MAKING THE COVER...

1...2...3!!!

NO!!! A RECOVERED CORINO BARELY MAKES THE SAVE!!!

Corino attacks Dreamer now, whilst Rhino gets back into the ring, and Corino and Rhino seem to agree to team up together. Corino looks to send Tommy in Rhino’s direction...

BUT DREAMER REVERSES, SENDING CORINO SMASHING INTO RHINO...

WHICH CAUSES RHINO TO TUMBLE THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE...

WHILST CORINO STAGGERS STRAIGHT INTO A SPICCOLI DRIVER FROM TOMMY!!!

TOMMY HOOKS THE LEG...

1...2...3!!!

NO!!! THIS TIME THE SANDMAN MAKES THE LAST SECOND SAVE!!!

Now it’s Tommy and The Sandman having a face off, but this time, The Sandman wins out, teeing off on Dreamer. Being that he is The Sandman, he then goes to work with a Singapore Cane, really beating the shit out of Dreamer. A frustrated Rhino sees this and gets back into the ring...

RHINO CHARGES AT SANDMAN...

WHO SIDESTEPS HIM...

AND THE SANDMAN IMMEDIATELY HOOKS AND DROPS RHINO WITH THE WHITE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP!!!

THE SANDMAN MAKES THE COVER...

1...2...RHINO KICKS OUT JUST AS DREAMER BREAKS UP THE FALL!!!

The battle continues between all four men, with Corino yet to even try and win the match, but that’s about to change. Rhino sets up Dreamer...

FOR A PILEDRIVER FROM THE MIDDLE ROPE...

TOMMY REVERSES INTO A BACK BODY DROP, WHICH CAUSES RHINO TO LAND BACK FIRST ONTP THE APRON!!!

With Tommy still on the ropes, CORINO TAKES THE OPPORTUNITY TO LAND AN OLD SCHOOL BOMB TO DREAMER!!!

Corino looks around, considering taking the victory, and with Dawn Marie and Jack Victory cheering him on, CORINO GOES FOR THE PIN...

1...2...3!!!

NO!!! TOMMY JUST ROLLS A SHOULDER UP!!!

Rhino happens to roll into the ring just as the pinfall attempt ends, and his eyes bug out, losing his shit at the fact that Corino tried to screw him. ‘The King Of Old School’ begs off...

BUT RHINO GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT...

UNTIL THE SANDMAN LEAPS FROM THE TOP ROPE...

RHINO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY...

AND SANDMAN LANDS ON CORINO WITH A SLOPPY CROSSBODY!!!

As soon as The Sandman gets up...

RHINO NAILS HIM WITH A VICIOUS GORE, SENDING HIM CRASHING THROUGH THE TABLE IN THE CORNER OF THE RING!!!

The champion then drags Sandman’s lifeless body to the middle of the ring...

AND FINISHES HIM OFF WITH A PILEDRIVER!!!

RHINO HOOKS THE LEG...

1...2...3!!!

...

NO!!! DREAMER PULLS RHINO OFF OF THE COVER!!!

Dreamer beats on Rhino for the next minute or so, with right hands before going insane with steel chair shots to the champ. When Tommy sets up Rhino for the DDT...

CORINO NAILS HIM WITH AN OLD SCHOOL KICK!!!

CORINO ENCOURAGES AN UNTRUSTING RHINO TO MAKE THE COVER...

AND RHINO HESITANTLY DOES...

1...2... THE SANDMAN SOMEHOW MAKES THE SAVE!!!

An irritated Corino throws Sandman out of the ring, before motioning towards the back and CW ANDERSON makes his way from the back with evil intentions on his mind.

CW starts brawling with The Sandman on the outside, but Sandman was ready...

SO HE MANAGES TO RAM ANDERSON HEAD FIRST INTO THE RING POST!!!

JACK VICTORY TRIES TO ATTACK SANDMAN NOW... BUT VICTORY GETS DROPPED WITH A RIGHT HAND!!!

Meanwhile, inside of the ring, RHINO GOES FOR THE GORE ON DREAMER...

BUT TOMMY GETS A STEEL CHAIR UP INTO THE FACE OF RHINO!!!

A stressed out Corino charges at Dreamer...

ONLY TO GET DROPPED WITH THE DDT!!!

The Sandman slides back into the ring now, Singapore Cane in hand, only to be confronted by Rhino.

THE SANDMAN SWINGS THE SINGAPORE CANE...

RHINO DUCKS...

AND THE CANE SHOT TAKES OUT DREAMER!!!

THE SANDMAN THEN SWINGS AGAIN...

AND THIS TIME RHINO CAN’T AVOID IT...

AND HE FALLS FACE FIRST TO THE CANVAS AFTER A SINGAPORE CANE SHOT!!!

Corino is staggering to his feet, using the ropes to stay standing...

AND THE SANDMAN LINES HIM UP FOR A CANE SHOT...

BUT HE GETS TRIPPED FROM OUTSIDE OF THE RING BY CW ANDERSON!!!

THE SANDMAN LANDS ON TOP OF RHINO...

AND CW HOLDS THE SANDMAN’S LEGS...

ENSURING BOTH RHINO AND THE SANDMAN CAN’T MOVE...

AS A DAZED CORINO, STAGGERS TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING...

AND COLLAPSES ONTO THE LIFELESS BODY OF TOMMY DREAMER...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Steve Corino @ 17:28

HOLY SHIT!!! Nobody can believe it. The fans are in a stunned silence as the dominant reign of Rhino is over, and Steve Corino is the NEW ECW Champion.

Victory, Dawn Marie and CW Anderson all step into the ring, and drag Corino to his feet, handing him the title. Corino is initially in shock as he raises the title above his head, BEFORE HE LETS OUT A SHIT EATING GRIN!!!

He’s finally accomplished his goal. The quartet celebrate inside of the ring for a few moments, with the heat from the fans beginning to pick up, until Rhino begins making his way to his feet.

They immediately hightail it from the ring and disappear to the back, happy to get out of this situation in one piece.


Meanwhile, inside of the ring, a defeated Rhino has gotten back to his feet, looking VENGEFUL as fuck, as the show fades to black...

Another show where promos were initially in recap and now in full. Sad part about redoing this is I realise I'll probably never book something this well or thought out again lol.

ECW Hardcore TV
August 4th, 2001
Birmingham, Alabama

The show begins with a local jobber standing in the middle of the ring, and he’s introduced as JAIDYN GRUNDY. The young man looks slightly nervous yet pumped up, ready for action, when the former ECW Champion RHINO storms down the ramp and slides into the ring. Grundy doesn’t really know what to do, looking a little dumbfounded...

SO RHINO CHARGES THROUGH HIM WITH A SAVAGE GORE!!!

The fans react with an EPIC face pop for Rhino as he destroys the younger. In a potentially more vicious mood than normal, Rhino immediately grabs the kid and drags him through the ropes and onto the ring apron...

BEFORE DRILLING HIM WITH A PILEDRIVER...

OFF OF THE APRON AND THROUGH THE FUCKING TIMEKEEPER’S TABLE!!!

Despite the sheer brutality, as he slides back into the ring, the fans chant him name, completely behind him taking out his frustrations on no longer being the ECW Champ. Rhino grabs a microphone but before he can begin speaking, Damage Control’ is on the outside of the ring, checking on the poor, dead jobber.


Not wasting any time, an obviously worked up Rhino grabs a mic.

Rhino: STEVE CORINO, GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT HERE SO I CAN BREAK YOUR GOD DAMN NECK!!!

More cheers from the fans as Rhino awaits the arrival of the new ECW Champion, but he smartly doesn’t show up.

Instead, the leader of The Network, CYRUS hesitantly makes his way down the ramp, accompanied by a bucket load of security. Cyrus realizes that his charge is clearly unhinged right now, deciding to speak before finishing his trip down the ramp.

Cyrus: Rhino please, calm down…

As Cyrus climbs onto the ring apron, Rhino snaps.

Rhino: IF YOU GET IN MY FUCKING RING, I WILL BREAK YOUR NECK TOO!!!

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Cyrus ops to remain on the ramp.


Rhino: EVERYBODY INVOLVED IN LAST WEEK IS GOING TO FUCKING DIE...

The former champion begins pacing in a typical unpredictable fashion.

Rhino: STEVE CORINO... JACK VICTORY... THE GIRLS WITH THE TITS... THE SANDMAN... TOMMY DREAMER... CW ANDERSON... AND YOU!!!

The fury of Rhino continues to seep through his pours, as Cyrus gives him a pleading look.

Cyrus: I understand how furious you are right now, but you’re not thinking rationally. This wasn’t some big conspiracy to screw you out of the ECW Title, last week was an accident.

Rhino scoffs as Cyrus looks earnest. Or at least tries to.


Cyrus: Steve Corino was there to help you retain the title. If it wasn’t for Corino, it could have been much worse. It would have been Dreamer or Sandman, and that would be a nightmare, but let me just reiterate, The Network did not screw you.

Rhino shakes his head in disbelief as Cyrus continues on.

Cyrus: Make no mistake about it, last week went wrong. With that being said, The Network isn’t OPPOSED to Steve Corino holding the World Title, but I want to make things right because I certainly recognize that you were robbed.

For the first time tonight, Rhino seems to agree with Cyrus, which gives ‘The Virus’ confidence.


Cyrus: As a matter of fact, not by The Network, but you WERE screwed. It was Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman that screwed you, so here’s how we make it right. Steve Corino will be MORE than happy to defend the title against you on pay per view in the future.

This is seemingly the first sign of good news for Rhino, who continues to pace.

Rhino: Good. Book the match then. Now. And give me Dreamer and Sandman in the meantime.

Suddenly, Cyrus gets a solemn look on his face.

Cyrus: I can’t. I want to but I can’t book it for Anarchy Rulz. Before the match last week, I already booked the main event of Anarchy Rulz in a month. The contract is already drawn up and you’ll be participating. You are going to have to truly be the wrecking machine I KNOW you can be.

Whilst not happy, Rhino does seem genuinely intrigued.

Rhino: Cut the shit, what’s the match?

Cyrus hesitates for a moment, in fear.

Cyrus: Well, it’s a big night. The Network wants something big for their return to Atlanta, and after thinking and thinking, I’ve got just the match.

A pause to build anticipation.

Cyrus: One month away, at Anarchy Rulz, history will be made as it will be the return of Ultimate Jeopardy. However this version of Ultimate Jeopardy, will have a little bit of a twist.

The fans pop for the mention of Ultimate Jeopardy. Rhino looks less impressed.

Cyrus: We’re doing this big; it will be two teams of five men.

Rhino is not happy.

Cyrus: It’s time to settle the score once and for all. The Network versus the original ECW… AND THE WINNER OF THE FALL WILL GET THE ECW TITLE SHOT AT NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER!!!

Rhino looks torn at this announcement, not happy with not getting his title rematch immediately. It’s clear by the uncomfortable look on his face that Cyrus senses Rhino’s mood.

Cyrus: It’s the perfect opportunity for you. On top of your due title shot that I have EVERY faith my War Machine will earn, there’s more here for you. You can get your revenge too, because of who your opponents will be in Ultimate Jeopardy. The opposing team will have The Sandman, Tommy Dreamer, Kid Kash and Eye Balls!!!

BIG pop for the team, as Rhino scowls at the mention of each name.

Cyrus: I formed that team just for you, because that’s everyone you hate.

Still no positive reaction from the former champ, so Cyrus presses further.

Cyrus: The Network fully supports you as our main attraction. As a show of faith, you will have the ultimate honor of leading The Network’s team. You’re the captain and you will have CW Anderson, Justin Credible, Jerry Lynn and THE NEW ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION STEVE CORINO behind you.

Now that the announcement is complete, Rhino seems to have calmed down quite a bit, although there was a clear twitch to his face when Cyrus announced Corino as champ.


Rhino: Okay. I’ll do it and lead your team. Let me make this clear though, if you screw me again, I promise, you’re all dead.

Cyrus meekly nods as Rhino hops out of the ring...

AND RHINO BARGES THROUGH MEMBERS OF CYRUS’S SECURITY TEAM!!!

As Rhino walks past, Cyrus attempts to backtrack out of the way...

BUT RHINO GRABS CRYUS BY HIS NECK TIE!!!

CYRUS LOOKS AS IF HE’S CRAPPING HIS PANTS... AS RHINO GETS RIGHT IN HIS FACE!!!


Rhino: Remember this… The Network isn’t ECW.

The intimidated Cyrus nods in agreement.

Rhino: Your champ, Steve Corino isn’t ECW.

Rhino shakes his head along with his words.

Rhino: All the other names in that team, none of those fucking idiots are ECW.

No words from Cyrus.

Rhino: I AM ECW…

Rhino’s about to snap.

I
AM THE NETWORK…

He puffs out his chest as he begins screaming.

NOBODY
STANDS UP TO ME…

He punches his chest to emphasize himself.

NOBODY
SCREWS WITH ME…

Rhino looks Cyrus dead in the eyes as he keeps yelling.

SAY MY FUCKING NAME RIGHT NOW…

Cyrus doesn’t.

WHO’S
THE REAL CHAMP?

Nothing.

WHO’S
THE LEADER?

Rhino is getting angrier.

WHO’S
THE MAN?

Still nothing from Cyrus so Rhino literally lifts him off his feet by the collar.

SAY IT!!!

A scared shitless Cyrus responds as confidently as he can.

Cyrus: RHINO!!!

Rhino softens his grip, putting Cyrus back to the ground, but he doesn’t relinquish his tie.

Rhino: YOU’RE FUCKING RIGHT!!!

With his message well and truly sent, Rhino lets go of Cyrus’ tie...

ONLY TO SHOVE HIM IN THE CHEST... SENDING HIM TUMBLING INTO HIS SECURITY ENTOURAGE!!!

As a freaked out, worried Cyrus scurries to recover, Rhino just scoffs and leaves, still on side with The Network, but clearly with his own needs at the front of his mind...

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

When we return from the break, CYRUS is now standing inside of the ring, still receiving heaps of heat from the fans. It’s worth noting that he’s dismissed his security for the night, having seemingly gotten past what they were required for. It’s clear he’s in less of a good mood than when the night started.

Cyrus: Ladies and gentlemen, right now, I’d like to introduce the man who made a triumphant return to ECW on pay per view last Sunday. I’d like to call HC Loc down to the ring.

Cyrus doesn’t beat around the bush, immediately calling out HC Loc, and HC LOC makes his way out to severe heat, donned in casual clothing.

Loc gets MAJOR heat from the fans as he was a bit part in dismissing RVD from ECW. Loc looks kind of sheepish, but Cyrus doesn’t care.

Cyrus: Despite being back in ECW, I know you’re going through a tough time right now. You’re getting a lot of heat now from the fans and from the boys in the back for selling out at Heatwave. I want you to know that I understand that it wasn’t your fault.

Cyrus shoots Loc with an understanding look, and he nods in agreement.

Cyrus: You have a family. You were out of work and needed a way back into ECW. You were desperate and all you had to do was bend over for The Network one more time.

Loc puts his head down, depressed and clearly upset with what he’s done. Cyrus seems to be taking pleasure in this.

Cyrus: Don’t be so hard on yourself, it’s not your fault. Take a look around, everybody bends over for The Network.

Heat from the fans as Loc nods sadly, and Cyrus continues on clearly not really caring about the emotional trauma that Loc is going through.

Cyrus: Now, with that in mind, business is business and it’s not personal. We need to make sure now that you’re back both as a wrestler and if need be, your old job, a referee, we need to make certain that you don’t go changing your mind.

Loc looks a little confused.

Cyrus: I want to test out my newly acquired talent so you’re having your first match right now!

The leader of The Network points towards the entrance ramp and HOMICIDE steps through the curtain and heads towards the ring. Loc knows he’s in trouble but tries to brace himself, whilst Cyrus motions behind Loc’s back that if Homicide takes him out (throat slash gesture), he’ll get paid some serious cash (rubbing fingers together).

Cyrus gets out of the ring and just before Homicide can get in, the only real Network referee DANNY DANIELS slides into the ring, ready to referee this match.

Joey Styles: I don’t condone what HC Loc did at Heatwave, it was a bad judgment call, but Cyrus and his master manipulation is just wrong. Cyrus used HC Loc to screw Rob Van Dam out of the title and a job. Now that the jobs done, he’s cleaning up a potential piece to be used against him.

The commentary team continue to discuss this, and the trouble that Loc is clearly in as the match begins…

Match One
HC Loc vs. Homicide

Yeah, so I’m pretty sure you can all predict how this one is going to go. Right from the get-go, Homicide DESTROYS HC Loc. It’s as one sided as a contest can be, and Homicide gets to show how vicious he can be, DRILLING A FORK REPEATEDLY INTO THE HEAD OF HC LOC, BUSTING HIM WIDE OPEN!!!

As the beating continues and Çide uses a steel chair and the ring bell hammer to continue his assault, the duo on commentary are up in arms at the double standards from The Network.


Joel Gertner: DANNY DANIELS HAS BEEN CALLING DQ’S FOR RIDICULOUS REASONS ALL YEAR LONG… BUT THIS IS SOMEHOW OKAY…

Eventually, Homicide simply mounts HC Loc, and pummels him over and over again with punches, causing Loc’s face to now be a crimson mask.

After Homicide punches himself out, he drags Loc into position...

AND FINISHES HIM OFF WITH THE COP KILLA!!!

HOMICIDE WITH THE COVER...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Homicide @ 3:36

There is no celebration from Homicide as he simply nods his head and barely allows Danny Daniels to raise his hand in victory. Homicide takes one last look at his handy work, ignoring the heat from the fans as he scoffs at HC Loc and makes his way to the back. In his words, he mentions that it’s time to go collect his pay check.

Meanwhile, HC Loc is barely moving inside of the ring and ‘Damage Control’ is out for the second time tonight already. After performing an initial assessment, they placed HC Loc into a neck brace and onto a stretcher, before taking him out of the arena. The saddest part of all of this, the fans don’t even care, as they’d much rather RVD still be around then HC Loc.

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

We’re in the backstage area when we return, where the fan favorite team of EYE BALLS have some things on their mind regarding being named members of ‘Team ECW’ for Anarchy Rulz. Balls starts things off rather passionately.

Balls Mahoney: In case you didn’t know, because I know your new here, Pierre, but I’m not. I’ve been busting my ass for four years. As far as I’m concerned, we’ve earned this opportunity in Ultimate Jeopardy.

PCO remains rather silent throughout, just nodding in agreement as Mahoney continues.

Balls Mahoney: I wasn’t born yesterday; I know what this is but it doesn’t matter. I know this is some more Network bullshit designed to cover their tracks after what happened last week. I get that, but The Network are gonna’ find out that three originals, and their partner, one insane redneck kid with shiny pants, and my partn- my brother, one tough as fuck newer one eyed bastard aren’t gonna’ roll over for them. We won’t bend over for The Network and at November To Remember, mark my words, one of the five of us will bring the ECW Title back HOME.

Both men nod in agreement, pumped to be a part of team ECW, and having sent the message that they needed to...


Match Two
Danny Doring vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri

As these two begin with a slight feeling out process, the respect between the two clear for all to see, the commentators clarify the tag title picture as it currently is. At Anarchy Rulz, Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck will defend the tag titles against Doring and Roadkill, however in the buildup, the team members have been paired up in a series of one on one matches. In the spirit of competitions, both teams have agreed that the singles matches will take place without their partners at ringside.

Now that’s out of the way, Doring did pretty well here, keeping up with Tajiri throughout the contest, however Doring was feeling worse for wear a few times after wearing some of Tajiri’s insane kicks to the face and body.

Despite the kicks, Doring scores some near falls...

BEFORE ATTEMPTING THE BACKPACK STUNNER...

BUT TAJIRI FOUGHT HIS WAY TO SEPARATION...

ONLY FOR DORING TO WALK STRAIGHT BACK INTO A ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!

DORING CONVENIENTLY FALLS TO HIS KNEES...

BUZZSAW KICK!!!

Doring is out of it but one half of the tag champions wants to send a lesson, as ‘The Japanese Buzzsaw’ drags the lifeless Doring back up...

AND CONNECTS WITH A BRAINBUSTER!!!

TAJIRI HOOKS THE LEG...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Yoshihiro Tajiri @ 14:50

Tajiri celebrates to the cheers of the crowd, as another fan favorite, Doring remains down, and we head to a commercial break, with the tag team champions having all the momentum in the world...


-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Much like after the previous break, we come back to the backstage area, except this time it’s the ECW Television Champion LOW KI who wants to get something off his chest. Low Ki adjusts the title around his waist, still getting somewhat familiar with carrying his newly won title around.

Low Ki: I’m still something of a rookie here in ECW, I represent the new generation. No, I’m not an original ECW wrestler, but I want to make it known, I also don’t want anything to do with The Network.

Ki looks as stoic and serious as ever, facial expression not changing.


Low Ki: I’m here to wrestle anybody and everybody. I want to face the best. Whether it be an old ECW stalwart like Tommy Dreamer or The Sandman. Whether it be a monster like Rhino, whether it be a big man like PCO or Balls Mahoney, or whether it’s my peers like Christopher Daniels and Bryan Danielson. Hell, I’m happy to relive the past and face an old acquaintance like Homicide.

This gets an epic pop from fans inside the arena, because Ki versus Homicide in ECW would be epic.

Low Ki: It doesn’t matter who it is. Present me with challengers, and I will defend this title with honor, and I will run through them all. I am the best wrestler on the planet, and it is not the size of a fighter…

Before Low Ki can continue, a furious looking JERRY LYNN barges into the shot, immediately pointing at the Television Championship.

Jerry Lynn: You can forget about other challengers. That’s MY title…

The actual champion looks at the title and raises his eyebrows.

Low Ki: Oh, I must have misread the nameplate. It’s got my name on it... Because I beat you TWICE!

Simple but effective from ‘The Warrior’, and Lynn is furious now.

Jerry Lynn: Anybody can get lucky twice, kid. I’ll take you on again next week…

Ki chuckles to himself, but before he can elaborate on that response…

LOW KI GETS SPUN AROUND...

AND POPPED WITH A MASSIVE LEFT HAND FROM CW ANDERSON!!!

As Lynn watches on with delight, Anderson picks up the dazed Low Ki...

ONLY TO THROW HIM THROUGH THE INTERVIEW SET!!!


Anderson stands over the downed Low Ki, reveling in the carnage that he has caused. With Lynn by his side, CW sends a message to Ki.

CW Anderson: Cyrus thinks it’s somebody else’s turn, Jerry. I’ll be taking that title shot next week then.

As they walk away, CW pats Lynn on the chest.


CW Anderson: It’s okay, I don’t want you to worry. Next week, we’ll get the title back no matter what.

CW smirks and walks off, with Lynn closely behind, however Lynn clearly looks miserable and not happy with the idea that somebody else could be holding his title in the future...

...

On commentary, JOEY STYLES AND JOEL GERTNER stand in the back, ready for some screen time.

Joey Styles: We’re just a few moments away from tonight’s main event, but before we get there, let’s take you through some of the exciting matches confirmed for next week’s ECW Hardcore TV. With Danny Doring and Roadkill confirmed to get an ECW Tag Team Championship match at Anarchy Rulz, Roadkill will face one half of the tag champions in Mikey Whipwreck. A win either way could change all the momentum and could ultimately decide who leaves Anarchy Rulz as champions.

Joel Gertner: Just like when a woman gets a taste of me, they keep coming back for more, these two men can’t get enough of each other. There have been neck injuries and bad blood between these two, and to open next week’s show, Christopher Daniels versus Spike Dudley THREE.

And now Joey gets a look of concentration on his face, as he listens in to his headset.


Joel Styles: And hot off the bat, fresh from the office of Cyrus himself, Low Ki will defend his ECW Television Championship against The Network’s CW Anderson.


There’s some exciting news, and they continue to hype it, before sending us to our main event…

...


Match Three
CW Anderson and Justin Credible vs. Eye Balls


Despite not being able to win the tag titles as of yet, Eye Balls again show that they are quite the team, using their awesome, unorthodox move set to beat the hell out of Anderson and Credible in the early stages. With all four men being a part of the huge Ultimate Jeopardy match at Anarchy Rulz, there feels like there is a lot at stake here, so The Network’s team fight back by cheating and occasionally stalling to halt Eye Balls’ momentum.

As expected with, well, any ECW match really, it breaks down and becomes an all-out war. Whilst the chaos picks up, JERRY LYNN comes out from the back, bringing a steel chair with him. Lynn communicates with Anderson and holds the chair against the ropes...

AS CW GRABS PCO AND LOOKS TO THROW HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE CHAIR...

BUT PCO REVERSES THE MOMENTUM, SENDING ANDERSON CRASHING INTO THE CHAIR!!!

Lynn can’t believe it and is in complete shock, before he gets turned around by KID KASH!!!

KK lands a few right hands, before rolling Jerry Lynn into the ring!!!

The referee is distracted with Lynn being in the ring, and before Credible can react, Kash yanks him off of the apron. Credible swings with a right hand, Kash ducks, lands a kick to the gut...

AND FOLLOWS IT UP WITH A DDT ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR!!!

Having gotten some semblance of revenge on Credible, Kash leaves the ringside area. Meanwhile, inside of the ring, Lynn is up to his feet...

ONLY TO GET CRUSHED WITH A CHAIR SHOT FROM BALLS MAHONEY!!!

With Lynn and Credible both out of it now, CW stumbles back to his feet...

BUT BALLS TAKES HIM OUT WITH THE NUTCRACKER SUITE!!!

PCO FOLLOWS UP WITH LE CANNONBALL FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!

PCO MAKES THE COVER...

1...2...3!!!

Winners – Eye Balls @ 13:19

The match is over, and Eye Balls have picked up an impressive victory. They celebrate inside of the ring, enjoying the chants from the fans, whilst all three members of The Network remain down on the outside.

Cyrus will be fuming, it’s not a good start for The Network in the build to Anarchy Rulz, will they be able to turn this around.

More new full promos. Yay.

ECW Hardcore TV
August 11th, 2001
Birmingham, Alabama

We’re kicking off with some in ring action tonight...

Match One
Christopher Daniels vs. Spike Dudley

The hatred between these two has been building for a couple of months now and it makes for quite an entertaining match. Much like their previous affair which took place at Heatwave, Spike targets the neck of Daniels, looking to get revenge for his previous injury, and potentially put Daniels on the shelf instead.

Dudley’s fire kept him in the box seat for a majority of the match, whilst Daniels’ craftiness kept him from being pinned or submitted for the first time. Eventually, a pissed off Spike drags Daniels onto the ring apron...

BEFORE LANDING AN ACID DROP TO DANIELS... OFF OF THE APRON AND RIGHT THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPER’S TABLE!!!

The fans mark out after the huge spot, and a brief “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chant breaks out. Desperate to capitalize on his big move, Spike tries to lift the dead weight of ‘The Fallen Angel’ but struggles. After what feels like an eternity, with Daniels beginning to stir and trying to get to his feet, Dudley grabs him and sends him back into the ring.

Inside of the ring, SPIKE LOOKS FOR THE ACID DROP AGAIN...

BUT DANIELS THROWS SPIKE OFF OF HIM...

AND SPIKE LANDS GROIN FIRST ONTO THE TOP ROPE!!!

SO DANIELS FOLLOWS UP BY GRABBING SPIKE BY THE HAIR...

AND DRILLING HIM WITH A NECKBREAKER OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!!!

Grunts and groans echo throughout the arena, with the fans realizing how big of a move that was. Spike clutches at his neck, and Daniels shows off his mean streak, hammering away with vicious knees and stomps to the back of Spike’s neck.

Once he feels like he has done enough damage...

DANIELS NAILS THE LAST RITES ON SPIKE!!!

Daniels with the cover...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Christopher Daniels @ 12:50

After having his hand raised by the referee, ignoring the heat from the fans, Daniels leans between the ropes and grabs himself a microphone. The referee is now checking on the injured Spike, and ‘The Fallen Angel’ simply scoffs at the pair of them, disdain written all over his face.

Christopher Daniels: Same opponent, same result. I just beat the same little guy for the third time. I might have to start assessing my options; I thought ECW was where the competition was.

With that, Daniels drops the microphone and leaves the ramp, shaking his head at the apparent lack of competition. What’s next for Christopher Daniels?

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

When we return from the commercial break, our commentary team of JOEL GERTNER AND JOEY STYLES are standing by.

Joey Styles: Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV, where we just witnessed Christopher Daniels defeat Spike Dudley for the third straight time. Despite his obvious attitude problems, you can’t deny Christopher Daniels’ undefeated streak. The man is a serious threat to anybody on the roster, and as a matter of fact, he holds a victory over the current ECW Television Champion.

Joel Gertner: Speaking of our TV Champion, Low Ki might not be champion for much longer. He’ll be defending his title on this episode, because he’s up against CW Anderson tonight, and I don’t know if he can beat The Network’s Enforcer. However, we didn’t think he would win the title from Jerry Lynn to begin with either.

Towards the end of Gertner’s dialogue, Styles goes into concentration mode, getting some form of message through his headset. After listening intently, Joey has an excited expression on his face.

Joey Styles: The TV Title match is tonight’s main event, but we’ve just received some breaking news and are being told to plug the matches just announced for next week.

Gertner looks surprised and intrigued.

Joey Styles: On the agenda for next week, The Sandman will take on Homicide in a big test for the newcomer. On top of that, the previously booked Steve Corino versus Kid Kash match will still go ahead but is now going to be the first ECW Title defense by Corino.

Both commentators seem pumped for this, talking about how next week looks like another bumper show. They then send us to ringside for the next match…



Match Two
Mikey Whipwreck vs. Roadkill

I had no desire to write this match the first time around, and I don’t plan on fleshing it out this time round, because this isn’t a pay per view. Generic stuff. The two go at it, again without their partners at ringside, due to the two teams’ gentlemen agreement, and this one serves its purpose. The purpose is to level the singles match results between The Unholy Alliance and Danny Doring and Roadkill to 1-1.

That’s exactly what happens when ROADKILL DROPS MIKEY WITH THE TKO!!!

Roadkill makes the cover...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – Roadkill @ 5:20

Roadkill celebrates to the cheers of the crowd, and we cut to another commercial break.

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Returning from the break, we get a video package…

ULTIMATE JEOPARDY

Match Three
ECW Television Championship Match

Low Ki (c) defends against CW Anderson

As expected in a big time title match, the two were even in the early stages, with despite the two having completely different styles, they meshed together quite nicely. The deeper into the match they got though, Low Ki seemed to be able to use his technical knowledge to outmaneuver CW Anderson and get on top in the contest.

The Network’s Enforcer began to get a little frustrated and started throwing his devastating left hand to good effect; until ‘The Warrior’ evened things back up, by going ham with chops to the chest and kicks to the body.

CW knows how important this match is for The Network though, and he hangs in there, despite never truly being able to dominate Low Ki. On commentary, Joey Styles keeps mentioning that the speed advantage that the champion has seems to be the biggest difference in this match.

As the match gets in the finishing stretch, both men trade near falls...

UNTIL LOW KI LOCKS IN THE DRAGON CLUTCH OUT OF NOWHERE!!!

BUT JERRY LYNN RUNS DOWN THE RAMP AND TOWARDS RINGSIDE!!!

Low Ki hears the heat from the crowd and sees Lynn coming, letting go of the hold. He takes a breath...

BEFORE SPRINTING ACROSS THE RING AND LEAPING WITH A TOPE SUICIDA TO THE OUTSIDE, TAKING OUT JERRY LYNN!!!

Having taken care of the interference, Low Ki gets back into the ring, where CW has just struggled back to his feet. The champion backs Anderson into the corner and goes savage with more kicks, really causing some damage to the mid-section of CW.

With CW in the corner...

LOW KI NAILS THE TIDAL KRUSH!!!

CW Anderson is down and Low Ki is set to get the victory...

BUT JERRY LYNN IS BACK ON THE APRON, DISTRACTING THE REFEREE!!!

Low Ki turns around in frustration...

STRAIGHT INTO A SINGAPORE CANE SHOT TO THE HEAD FROM JUSTIN CREDIBLE!!!

Justin Credible has snuck through the crowd and taken out Low Ki. Having seen the action take place inside of the ring, Lynn now hops off of the apron, and the referee turns to see both men down in the middle of the ring.

Both men struggle to their feet, CW Just beating Ki up, and Anderson whips Low Ki into the ropes...

ONLY TO DRILL HIM WITH THE ANDERSON SPINEBUSTER WHEN HE RETURNS!!!

CW lies on top for the cover...

1...2...3!!!

Winner – CW Anderson @ 15:59

After the match, despite the heat from the crowd, a battered and bruised CW Anderson is in celebration mode. He raises his hands in the air and Justin Credible comes in with the title, giving it to Anderson as well.

The duo celebrates when Jerry Lynn joins them in the ring, with an awkward look on his face. CW shoots Lynn thumbs up... BUT LYNN SIGNALS THAT HE WANTS THE TV TITLE!!!

CW looks irritated but Credible ushers him to keep celebrating, and as Anderson climbs up to the top rope, CREDIBLE AND LYNN BEGIN HAVING AN ANIMATED ARGUMENT INSIDE OF THE RING!!!

The fans are marking out, enjoying the issues The Network seem to be facing...

When EYE BALLS AND KID KASH SPRINT DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDE INTO THE RING!!!

Just as the trio slide into the ring, The Network all slide out of the ring, not wanting any part of Team ECW tonight.

At ringside, The Network gathers themselves, with Credible mouthing off, yelling “IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE YOU BEND OVER FOR THE NETWORK”!!!

Kash and Eye Balls roll their eyes, before having a quick pow wow regarding their next move.

KASH THEN BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES...

PCO AND BALLS DUCK THEIR HEADS...

AND EYE BALLS BACK BODY DROP KID KASH OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!

SO KASH LANDS, TAKING OUT ALL THREE MEMBERS OF THE NETWORK!!!

The pop is HUGE for the epic move, as full of adrenaline; Kash gets back into the ring, high fiving his partners.

Those famous “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants are in full flight, with three members of The Network left lying, and Team ECW standing tall.


The final image we get is of Team ECW owning the ring, as we cut to our final break of the evening.

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Hey, let’s finish off the show with some PULP FICTION~!

Firstly, we see an ecstatic CW ANDERSON celebrating backstage, his freshly won ECW TV Title over his shoulder. The happy Anderson takes the title off of his shoulder and holds it up to the camera.

CW Anderson: Look at this gold belt in my hands. This is the World TV Title.

CW smirks, impressed with his newest possession.

CW Anderson: This title, it means I’m the best damn wrestler on television. I’m going to make this title prestigious again. I’m going to make this mean something again after it hasn’t meant jack shit since our man Rhino relinquished it.

Determination replaces the smirk on Anderson’s face.


CW Anderson: As for tonight, Low Ki, it’s nothing personal. You’re a good kid, but you’re young and inexperienced. You don’t have what it takes yet to do the job.

The champ makes sure to hold the title right in front of the camera again.

CW Anderson: Like I said, this belt in my hands, this is the TV Title.

He pauses, letting his words sink in.

CW Anderson: This title belongs to me.

CW throws the title back over his shoulder.

CW Anderson: I’m the best wrestler on TV, it’s my birthright. Because I’m the champ, and I’m an Anderson.

The Enforcer continues to stand proudly, newly won title in his hands, before we cut away…


...

Next, we cut to another undisclosed location in the arena, where THE HARRIS BROTHERS are standing with their arms crossed, looking like generic tough guys like only they can.

Don Harris: Everybody needs to take note of what happened to Da Baldies. Nobody messes with The Network while we’re on the job or even talks bad about them. Running their mouths, that’s where Hot Commodity runs into trouble. And as for those so called tough guys, if Da Baldies have a problem with that, we aren’t hard to find. They can come try their hand against the original tough, bald mother fuckers.

Before the scene cuts away, both Harris brothers put their heads together.


Ron Harris: WHITE POWER~!

Don Harris: WHITE POWER~!

On that controversial note for an angle, I never actually run with, we leave and head to our next scene…

...

The ECW Tag Team Champions THE UNHOLY ALLIANCE are sitting down in a locker room, with MIKEY WHIPWRECK rubbing his neck, whilst YOSHIHIRO TAJIRI looks furious. As Mikey continues to favor his sore neck, Tajiri just yells incoherently in Japanese...

...


‘The Notorious K.I.D’, KID KASH is next up and he shakes his head, a look of disbelief on his face.

Kid Kash: Sometimes it’s funny how the world works. I didn’t set out this week for a World Heavyweight Title shot. It has been confirmed that I’ve got one now and I’m gonna’ make the most of it.

Kash looks excited for the opportunity.

Kid Kash: It wasn’t for a long time, but I’ve been TV Champion. I did it by beating Rhino, I pulled it off by defying The Network in one of the biggest upsets in ECW history. I look back on that as the biggest moment in my career, but it was almost a year ago.

KK thinks for a moment, running his hands through his hair.

Kid Kash: It feels like a lifetime ago and I’m ready to surpass that moment. It’s a year later and I’m a year better. And next week against Steve Corino, I feel another upset coming on for the Notorious K.I.D.

One things for sure, the youngster is ready for his ECW Championship opportunity next week…

...

THE FBI
only pop up onto the screen for a brief moment, with LITTLE GUIDO, SAL E. GRAZIANO and TONY MAMALUKE sitting in what looks to be an Italian restaurant, ready to devour some pizza. Before doing so, Guido looks into the camera.

Little Guido: Disrespect is something we won’t tolerate no more. We have to teach these kids some respect.

One can only assume he’s referring to Christian York and Joey Matthews, as the Italians turn their attention back to their pizza…

...

Now we cut to the dangerous HOMICIDE, who holds up a stack of cash, clearly having earned his money recently.

Homicide: Money talks so why should I give a shit about the honorable thing or the right way?

Homicide stashes the money into his pocket.

Homicide: I’m not here to make friends or be a role model for anybody. I’m here to make money to feed myself and my kids. My loyalty is with the green and the Network pays me more money if I hurt people they want crippled. So, I get the names, and I cripple people.

Homicide says all of this with pride, clearly comfortable with his questionable moral code.

Homicide: If people don’t like it, there’s only one way to change it. Until I have a problem with The Network, or until I get a better offer, I’ll keep doing what I’m doing. I’m gonna run through everyone that gets added to the list.

Having explained a little more about why he does what he does Homicide signs off with a…

Homicide: BBBBBBBBBBBBDAT!!!

With that, Homicide continues to mean mug the camera, until the scene cuts away…


...

Next up, we see some empty beer cans on the floor, and the camera pans out to reveal THE SANDMAN puffing on a cigarette. He looks pretty calm, enjoying his usual post taping cigarette.

The Sandman: When I look at Homicide, all I see is a shorter, Puerto Rican New Jack.

The Sandman laughs and opens another can of beer, quick to take a drink.


The Sandman: I promise anybody that Homicide’s impressed that I’m not afraid.

He smirks to himself.

The Sandman: I welcome the brutality. I’ve already kicked New Jack’s ass, and now the Puerto Rican version gets it to. I’ll kick Homicide’s ass.

The Sandman is full of confidence as he goes back to his cigarette and beer…

...

In a slightly lighter setting, the number one contenders for the tag team titles, DANNY DORING AND ROADKILL have something to say.

Danny Doring: At Anarchy Rulz, we’re ready to go to war for those ECW Tag Team Championships. I’ll admit Yoshiro Tajiri kicks harder than anyone else in wrestling, and just when you think you’ve got the kicks covered, he punches just as hard. I tried my ass off, but I have no shame in getting knocked out by Tajiri last week. And tonight, my main man and best friend just took out Tajiri’s partner tonight. That leaves us at one and one, I’m calling it even, and on September ninth, at Anarchy Rulz, it’s our specialty. It’s our environment, it’s a tag team match.

Whilst Roadkill looks in his own world as per usual, Doring is intent on getting a serious message across.


Danny Doring: We’re not looking for blood, but we are looking for gold. I’ve got all the respect for Tajiri and Mikey but it’s time that The Unholy Alliance lose the titles to god’s favorite tag team.

Doring pauses, getting worked up, but he takes a deep breath before continuing.

Danny Doring: So, after Anarchy Rulz, come September tenth, we will be winners. We will be coming back home two time World Tag Team Champions and the two of you will be resting with the…

Roadkill: CHICKENS~!

Doring rolls his eyes, shakes his head.

Danny Doring: God damn it…

Roadkill doesn’t even realize, as Doring decides that’s enough for the night…

...

Now we see our ECW Champion STEVE CORINO, who looks a little annoyed at something.

Steve Corino: I heard talk about an upset next week. The only upset next week is going to be people upset when I destroy your favorite little bastard in the shiny vinyl pants.

‘The King Of Old School’ chuckles at his own comment.


Steve Corino: You can’t just get a fluke win twelve months ago and think that means you’re deserving of anything. It took me two years of blood and sweat and, well, no tears, I don’t cry because I’m a man. But it took hard work and dedication to win this title, and I like the feeling of having it. I’m not giving it up for a long time.

He pats the title around his waist, almost subconsciously.

Steve Corino: I’m so much more than what I was before with this title. I’m not just the king of old school. As the ECW Champion, I’m the king of ECW, and I’m going to be the king and the ECW Champion for a long, LONG time.

The ECW Champion looks ready for next week, just as his challenger did…


...

A somber looking LOW KI gets some promo time now, still in his gear and disappointed with losing his title tonight.

Low Ki: I’m no longer the TV Champion through no fault of my own. It took three men and a Singapore Cane to take the TV Title away from me.

Despite not being an overly emotional person, it’s clear Ki is not happy.

Low Ki: There’s a lot of uncertainty surrounding this situation for me. Maybe I won it on a fluke and my number ran out. Who knows? Maybe I was robbed, or maybe I’ll get another shot. A lot of questions remain unanswered, but I don’t care about the maybes right now.

Suddenly, Ki gets a more intense look on his face.

Low Ki: Here’s what I do know without a doubt. I’m going to work and earn a rematch. I don’t care if you’re an Anderson or not, it doesn’t matter, I WILL win back what belongs to me.

Ki goes back to sitting in his bubble of silence, deep in thought…


...

In his first appearance in a while, a worked up SUPER CRAZY appears on the screen. He yells out in Mexican, going to town, before churning out a few words in English.

Super Crazy: NEXT WEEK… ECW RETURN… SUPER CRAZY!!!

Big news. We’ve got Super Crazy making his return to ECW next week…


...

Our final segment of the night, who else but RHINO. The furious former ECW Champion RAMS HIS HEAD INTO THE LOCKERS NUMEROUS TIMES... BEFORE HE PUSHES THE WHOLE BANK OF LOCKERS OVER TO THE FLOOR!!!

As usual, he’s pacing back and forth as he begins to speak or yell...


Rhino: IT’S BEEN TWO FUCKING WEEKS SINCE MY ECW TITLE WAS STOLEN FROM ME…

If it’s even possible, Rhino seems even more furious as he mentions no longer being ECW Champion.

Rhino: I’M STILL THE ECW CHAMPION…

He punches his own chest as he says it, emphasizing his point.

Rhino: I NEVER LOST IT…

The former champ is breathing heavier by the second.

Rhino: NOBODY EVER BEAT ME…

Getting more worked up, Rhino’s face is going red.

Rhino: IT’S BEEN A FUCKING YEAR SINCE ANYONE BEAT ME… AND THAT BARELY EVEN COUNTS…

Rhino is referring to the Kid Kash stuff that has been mentioned previously tonight.

Rhino: NEXT WEEK… STEVE CORINO IS GOING TO DEFEND HIS TITLE… AND IF HE LOSES IT TO THAT LITTLE smurf… THEN STEVE CORINO IS GOING TO DIE NEXT WEEK AFTER THE MATCH…

The serious look in Rhino’s eyes says that isn’t just a threat.

Rhino: IT MIGHT BE CORINO…

A quick shrug of the shoulders from Rhino.

Rhino: IT MIGHT BE KID KASH…

Rhino snarls at the mention of KK.

Rhino: IT MIGHT BE THAT FAT smurf JOEL GERTNER…

The mad man continues to pace back and forth like a lunatic.

Rhino: I DON’T KNOW YET…

He’s salivating at the mouth.

Rhino: BUT NEXT WEEK… I’M GOING TO BE THERE… AND SOMEBDOY IS GETTING THEIR FUCKING NECK BROKEN…

The furious former champion signals with both hands as if to break something in half.


Rhino: RHINO… RHINO… RHINO… SAY MY NAME…

He punches his chest again.

Rhino: SAY MY FUCKING NAME… I’M THE CHAMP…

Rhino touches where the belt would normally sit around his waist.

Rhino: I AM ECW…

He’s huffing and puffing, very intense.

Rhino: I AM THE NETWORK…

Another pause as he tries to catch his breath.

Rhino: I AM EVERYTHING…



Rhino: I AM PRO WRESTLING…

Finally, he stops and instead looks deep into the camera. A psychotic look on his face.

Rhino: AND I’M GONNA’ SHOW UP EVERY WEEK AND SOMEONE IS DYING UNTIL I GET BACK WHAT’S MINE!!!

Message delivered, and with those final harsh words from Rhino, the show fades to black...

END OF SHOW

Eyeballs is still probably the best team name ever created in a BTB.

And the Rhino promos still hit all these years later! Fun to get to read these again!

Styles/Gertner dialogue throughout the show is new, everything else is as posted many moons ago.

ECW Hardcore TV
August 18th, 2001
Birmingham, Alabama

The show opens up with our commentators, JOEY STYLES AND JOEL GERTNER standing in the back, both looking pumped up for tonight’s show.

Joey Styles: Hi everybody and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV. I’m Joey Styles and of course standing next to me, neck brace and all, is none other than the controversial Joel Gertner. Well Joel, it’s great to be here in Birmingham Alabama where we are set for another big night.

Joel Gertner: No disagreements from me, Joey. We’ve no we’re in for a big night… That’s what she said… And it doesn’t get any bigger than tonight’s main event.

Joey Styles: In tonight’s main event, our relatively new ECW Champion Steve Corino will defend the title for the first time ever. It’s history in the making as Corino will defend against Kid Kash in tonight’s main event.

The commentary duo are ready for the big main event, and for the action to begin proper, sending us to ringside…



No time like the present to kick off tonight’s in ring action though, as “Highway to Hell” by ACDC is greeted with a very positive response from the fans, as SPIKE DUDLEY makes his way out from the back. A somber mood moves throughout the arena when Spike comes into a shot, as he very slowly walks down the ramp, grimacing as he does so. It may have something to do with the neck brace he is wearing, showing the impact that his match with Christopher Daniels last week had on his body. Still though, the gutsy Dudley slaps hands with the fans before gingerly getting into the ring, ready to make amends for last weeks lost. Instead of Bill E. Wiles’ music, “Debonaire” by Dope hits to a MASSIVE POP from the fans…

AND THE CURTAIN PARTS TO REVEAL RHINO…

WHO’S DRAGGING THE LIFELESS,
BLOODIED BODY OF BILL E. WILES WITH HIM!!!

Rhino drops Wiles with disdain, before looking down at some of the blood on his chest, a smirk on his face. The former ECW Champ puts a mic towards his mouth, as Spike gulps inside of the ring. Meanwhile, the fans are going ape shit with chants of “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”.

Rhino: I’M YOUR FUCKING OPPONENT NOW!!!

With those simple words, RHINO DROPS THE MIC AND SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP!!!

RHINO SLIDES INTO THE RING…

DUCKS A CLOTHESLINE FROM SPIKE…

BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES…

THEN RHINO RUNS RIGHT THROUGH SPIKE WITH A FUCKING GORE!!!

The blood thirsty ECW fans are on their feet, more chants of “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” coming from their mouths. A referee has managed to charge down the ramp and slide into the ring, but before he can call for the bell…

RHINO GRABS THE REFEREE AND THROWS HIM RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THE RING!!!

Despite the potential broken ribs to go along with the injured neck, Spike begins stirring on the canvas. The furious Rhino sees this and drags Spike between his legs…

BEFORE DROPPING SPIKE ON HIS INJURED NECK WITH A PILEDRIVER!!!

This time some gasps come from the fans as Dudley rolls around in agony, clutching at his injured neck. Unfortunately for Spike, Rhino is still seething, so he grabs Spike by the hair and drags him underneath the bottom rope and onto the ring apron.

A buzz begins to spread around the arena, knowing what’s next, as Rhino puts the defenseless Spike between his legs…

AND LEAPS OFF THE APRON… PILEDRIVING SPIKE THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPER’S TABLE!!!

Its chaos straight away tonight as “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants ring out again, as Rhino gets to his feet. With not an ounce of remorse in his body, the still visibly annoyed Rhino grabs another microphone and slides back into the ring.

On the outside of the ring, Spike isn’t moving, and ‘Damage Control’ immediately gathers around ringside. The sadistic Rhino watches on, a little amused, as ‘Damage Control’ get Spike onto a stretcher, and cart him from the ringside area. As they make their way past, one or two members of ‘Damage Control’ are kind enough to take care of the disposed body of Wiles as well.


Meanwhile, Rhino has started up his pacing again as he begins to speak…

Rhino: I’m glad nobody came out here to try and stop me tonight, because it wouldn’t have ended well for them. I told everyone someone was getting their neck broken tonight!

More cheers from the fans but you know Rhino’s not going to keep his cool for long.

Rhino: AND THIS WILL KEEP HAPPENING EVERYTIME I’M HERE UNTIL I GET MY FUCKING TITLE SHOT!!!

The shrieks have begun, as the worked up former champ is still pissed at how he lost his title.

Rhino: AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED… STEVE CORINO IS JUST HOLDING ONTO MY TITLE FOR ME…

He continues to pace, getting redder in the face as he goes.

Rhino: AND IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO SEE THE OTHER END OF A GORE…

A pop emanates from the fans regarding the idea of Corino catching a Gore.

Rhino: HE’LL DO THE SMART THING AND LOSE THE TITLE REAL FUCKING SOON!!!

Rhino is trembling with anger, his heavy breathing in full swing.

Rhino: BECAUSE I THINK TONIGHT COULD USE ANOTHER VICTIM…

He points towards the backstage area now, as the fans mark out for the idea of another attack.

Rhino: AND I SEE AN ENTIRE FUCKING LOCKER ROOM FULL OF THEM!!!

Having sent his message loud and clear, Rhino aggressively throws the microphone to the canvas and storms up the ramp, being applauded by the crazy ECW fans as he leaves…



We now head straight to the backstage area, into a spacious looking locker room, which means it must belong to The Network. Cyrus is standing on one side of the locker room, whilst the ECW Television Champion CW Anderson, Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible sit on fold out chairs, listening for the speech that is about to come.

Cyrus: Firstly, CW, fantastic job on winning the TV Title last week, and we’ll kick off this meeting without our other fearless champion, as he’s busy right now preparing for his title defense.

They all nod along to Cyrus’ words, except for Lynn who looks a little irked at Anderson holding the TV Title. Despite the great night for The Network last week though, Cyrus looks deadly serious.

Cyrus: Now I don’t want to seem like a drill sergeant, but as good as last week was, we need to move on. Ultimate Jeopardy is a month away…

Everybody in the room is obviously all ears, knowing this big time match is crucial to the war they are all a part of.

Cyrus: So we need to use his recent wave of momentum, and we need to get down to business.

So far, so good, everybody is on the same page.

Cyrus: I want every night in the lead up to Ultimate Jeopardy to go the way that last week did. Tonight, I have my hired gun against The Sandman.

Cyrus now points at his minions, really wanting to emphasize his words.

Cyrus: We all know what the plan is, but I want you to make sure it all goes according to plan.

Again, the troops nod, understanding their orders.

Cyrus: And next week, there is just as much on the line for us. Jerry and Justin, you two have Eye Balls next week, now you need to make sure the same thing happens. You need to make sure that it all goes according to plan.

Lynn and Credible nod and suddenly Cyrus does get a smirk on his face.

Cyrus: And for the week after, we don’t even need to worry about a plan. Rhino is going to MURDER Tommy Dreamer in the main event in two weeks.

The leader of The Network is all smiles at the thought, but Credible seems to have something else on his mind.

Justin Credible: I appreciate all of this planning to make sure we are in the box seat for Ultimate Jeopardy, but uh, what’s your plan for the match?

Credible isn’t the only one interested in this answer, as Lynn and CW lean forward on their chairs. Sensing their eagerness, Cyrus lets out a brief chuckle.

Cyrus: Look, I know that the ECW Title is what everybody wants, whether they are in The Network or want. I know that you’re all hungry.

Again, they nod in agreement with Cyrus’ statement.

Cyrus: But we need to take this one step at a time and keep our minds on Ultimate Jeopardy. The title shot at November to Remember will be addressed after Anarchy Rulz.

Despite not getting the answer they necessarily wanted, they still looks rather content.

Cyrus: But outside of keeping the ECW Championship within The Network, you all have other orders as to how the match needs to play out.

Cyrus lets those words sink in before continuing.

Cyrus: And you all know I’m generous with my rewards. You will get substantial bonuses if everything goes according to the plan.

Lynn stands up, getting overly excited.

Jerry Lynn: Sounds good to me, boss. I’ll get Corino at November to Remember after I win for The Network!

Behind Jerry’s back, Credible and CW shake their heads, not believing what he just said. Meanwhile, Cyrus shoots him what can be best described as a fake, half-hearted smile.

Cyrus: We’ll see, Jerry, I’ll think about it. Now you all know what needs to be done, go have some fun tonight, gang.

With that, Lynn, Credible and Anderson march outside of the locker room, and Cyrus looks content, having rallied his troops to the best of his ability…



Match One
Joey Matthews w/Christian York vs. Little Guido w/The FBI

In the initial stages, despite not winning a lot of matches recently, it seemed as if the leader of The FBI was far too confident. Little Guido was extremely cocky in the early exchanges, looking to mock Matthews with some paint brushing during some chain wrestling exchanges. That didn’t last long though as the fiery Matthews retaliated with a punch right to the mouth. This fired up Guido and the pace of the match quickened, but Matthews brought all the fight in the world, giving Guido all he can handle and some.

Outside of brief moments, Joey actually looked really good, clearly taking care of business. After nailing a Scoop Slam, Matthews begins ascending up to the top rope, looking for the finish…

BUT ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING… TONY MAMALUKE ATTEMPTED TO GET ONTO THE APRON…

BUT CHRISTIAN YORK PULLS TONY DOWN AND DROPS HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND…

ONLY FOR BIG SAL TO SQUASH YORK WITH A BODY SPLASH INTO THE RING APRON AND RING POST!!!


Unfortunately for Matthews, the velocity of the splash causes the ring to move slightly…

AND JOEY LOSES BALANCE… FALLING OFF OF THE TOP ROPE!!!

Groans can be heard throughout the arena, as the opportunistic Guido takes his chance, CONNECTING WITH THE KISS OF DEATH!!!

GUIDO HOOKS THE LEG…1…2…3!!!

Winner – Little Guido @ 4:10

After the match, Guido and the rest of The FBI celebrate to the annoyance of the fans, whilst Matthews remains down inside the ring, and York remains down on the outside…

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

We now cut a pre-taped segment with the words “EARLIER TODAY” at the bottom of the screen. The man on the screen though? It’s the man challenging for the ECW Title tonight, KID KASH. Despite the biggest match of his career on the horizon, he looks pretty relaxed.

Kid Kash: I have to be honest; I’m still in shock. I didn’t think Steve Corino had the guts to put his title up against me tonight.

Kash shrugs carelessly, clearly happy that he was wrong.

Kid Kash: As a matter of fact, I didn’t think Corino would put the title up against me voluntarily at all. I didn’t think he’d have the guts to defend his title until November to Remember.

‘The Notorious K.I.D.’ smirks, happy to share his low opinion of Corino.

Kid Kash: Honestly, I was sure even then that Corino would want to hand pick a walkover challenger for his title defense. I figured I would have to win Ultimate Jeopardy for a title shot.

Again, the number one contender smirks.

Kid Kash: Well, I’ve never been happier in my life to be wrong. I have my shot tonight…

Suddenly, Kash holds up an empty sports bag.

Kid Kash: And I’m planning on filling this bag up with ten pounds of gold before the end of the night. I’m not going to let it pass by. The K.I.D. is leaving as the ECW Champion!

With a glint in his eye, KK has one last thing to add.

Kid Kash: And once I’m champion, unlike Corino, I’ll be more than happy to defend the title against Rhino. Because I’m not afraid of Rhino because I’ve actually beaten him before.

KK gives one last nod to the camera before leaving screenshot…



In the commentary area, JOEY STYLES AND JOEL GERTNER stand by, looking to be a little distressed compared to earlier tonight. Joey has a piece of paper in his hand and looks particularly peeved about it.

Joey Styles: Ladies and gentlemen, we have been given this press release from the powers that be and I’ve been instructed that I have to read it. In the interest of pay per view buy rates, a new match has been confirmed for Anarchy Rulz. The Network has sanctioned a match for Anarchy Rulz between Hot Commodity and The Harris Twins!

Joey shakes his head, disgusted with the announcement, allowing Gertner to say his bit.

Joel Gertner: I’ve never done this before but it’s at this time that I’d ask for support from all the ECW fans watching this right now. Call your pay per view providers and urge them to force ECW to make this a dark match. Please do this for us so we won’t have to call it.

An interesting plea from our commentary duo, who just know that this match will be terrible…




We heard from the challenger earlier tonight, so now it’s only fair we get a pre-taped segment from ‘EARLIER TODAY’ with the ECW Champion STEVE CORINO. Of course, joint at his hip as they have been for some time now, are DAWN MARIE AND JACK VICTORY!

Steve Corino: Tonight, THE KING OF OLD SCHOOL AND THE NEW KING OF ALL ECW graces everybody with his presence, and makes his very first title defense.

Corino pauses, letting those words marinate, a pleased look on his face.

Steve Corino: After getting some advice from some reliable sources, I’ve learned that it’s not good to bury your opponents.

The champ locks eyes with Victory, who nods, quite clearly he’s the reliable source.

Steve Corino: I mean, that’s what I’ve been told, and I want to be the best champion in ECW history, so I won’t do that.

Steve Corino is laying it on thick here, enjoying himself.

Steve Corino: So with my new found knowledge, I’d like to proclaim that Kid Kash is the greatest wrestler of all time!

Dawn rolls her eyes as Corino looks at Victory for advice.

Steve Corino: How was that?

Victory shoots him a toothy grin and a cheesy thumbs up. Corino chuckles before getting a little more serious.

Steve Corino: Alright, play time is over. I’ll be honest with you, Kid Kash is a good, little hand.

He takes a breath, wanting those words to sink in, as he now points at his own chest.

Steve Corino: And that’s the perfect role for him, but I’m on another level. I’m basically the man now!

Corino gets interrupted by his supporters, Dawn and Jack clapping in the background.

Steve Corino: So tonight, when, that’s right, not if, but when I beat Kid Kash…

Another pause as he mulls over his next words.

Steve Corino: It’ll be my first routine title defense, and it will be the first name off the list.

The champ is dead serious now.

Steve Corino: It doesn’t matter who I face first or who I face last, because I’m going to beat everyone eventually.

Dawn and Victory clearly agree with their guy. ‘The King Of Old School’ holds the ECW Title up to the camera now.

Steve Corino: I’m not kidding when I say this, I’m going to hold this forever.

No jokes, some serious determination from Corino here.


Steve Corino: Cyrus isn’t lying when he says I’m the backbone of The Network. I’ve already been the face of ECW for a year.

SC nods along with his own words.

Steve Corino: For those few idiots out there who did doubt me, now I’ve got the title to prove it.

The smugness from Corino shines through, as Dawn decides to chime in.

Dawn Marie: I’m thankful that you’ve brought me along for the ride. I can’t wait to be in the main event.

She does a twirl showing off her awesome figure.

Dawn Marie: Thanks to you, I’m a star now!

As Marie floats into the background, Jack Victory slaps Corino’s hand with a high five.

Jack Victory: And we all know, tonight ends with a V for Victory!

VICTORY THEN THROWS UP THE V~!

Steve Corino: HIGH SPOT!!!

They look set to leave the shot, until Corino seems to have remembered one last thing.

Steve Corino: Speaking of which, this reminds me of something. Kid Kash can do every high spot in the book tonight…

The champion stops for a second, shooting a quick glance at his comrades.

Steve Corino: He can put on the best performance of his life, but it’s not going to matter.

Corino shakes his head, confirming it’s not going to matter.

Steve Corino: Because the history of wrestling says, apart from Tommy Dreamer… the champ NEVER drops the belt in his first defense.

A nice little ZING moment for Corino to finish off with, and he and his buddies laugh amongst themselves as the scene fades away…



Match Two
Homicide vs. The Sandman

The fans are amped up for this one, as Sandman is a long-time favorite, and Homicide has only been in an ECW a short time but has already proven to be a killer. This is Homicide’s biggest test to date, but considering he’s Cyrus’ paid mercenary, the deck is well and truly stacked in his favor. What do I mean by that? Well, of course, The Network’s very own referee, DANNY DANIELS, is in charge of this one. The Network must have a lot of confidence in Homicide because Daniels sat back and let a lot go throughout this match. It was an ugly, typical ECW brawl and a majority of the fighting took place outside the ring, including up and down the aisles through the audience. Weapon shots were a plenty also, and neither man took a backwards step.

Around about the second time they fought through the crowd, potentially due to the numbers advantage, The Sandman begins to get on top. After tossing Homicide over the crowd barricade and back to the ringside area, Sandman grabs a beer from a fan and takes a drink. This garners a huge pop and “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chant from the fans, but it gives ‘Cide time to recover. As Sandman steps over the barricade and back to ringside, Homicide meets him with a thumb to the eye…

FOLLOWED BY A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX ON THE CONCRETE FLOOR!!!

Homicide makes the decision to take the match back into the ring after this, and with The Sandman in extreme pain, Homicide manages to have a control period. Unfortunately, he can’t put The Sandman away, and eventually, Sandman is able to get a hold of his trusty Singapore Cane. Confidence still high, Homicide goes to meet Sandman…

BUT WALKS RIGHT INTO A SINGAPORE CANE SHOT ACROSS THE SKULL!!!

Those famous “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants are back again, as the tough as nails Homicide drops to one knee. Before Sandman can strike again, Danny Daniels warns Sandman not to hit Homicide with the Singapore Cane again, because if he does, he’ll be disqualified. Sandman just shrugs Daniels out of the way…

BUT THEN HOMICIDE DROPKICKS THE SANDMAN…

AND THE SANDMAN STUMBLES RIGHT INTO DANNY DANIELS!!!


Homicide and The Sandman are both down inside of the ring, whilst Daniels has rolled to the outside, clearly in pain. Suddenly, he orders the bell to be rung, and the fans boo loudly, not completely sure what is going on. It’s safe to say the heat picks up once the disqualification result has been announced.

Winner – Homicide @ 9:20

As soon as the result is announced, the fans LOSE THEIR SHIT with volcanic heat directed at Danny Daniels. The smarmy referee rolls back into the ring and attempts to raise the hand of Homicide…

BUT THE SANDMAN HITS HOMICIDE IN THE HEAD WITH THE SINGAPORE CANE!!!

The fans are happy again, chanting “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, as Daniels tries to get away… BUT SANDMAN CORNERS HIM IN THE RING!!!

The Sandman is finally going to get his hands on Daniels…

WHEN CW ANDERSON, JERRY LYNN AND JUSTIN CREDIBLE SLIDE INTO THE RING!!!

Luckily, The Sandman turns around to see himself facing three members of The Network. Daniels takes the opportunity to scurry from the ring, as Anderson takes a step forward…

ONLY TO COP A BODY SHOT FROM THE SINGAPORE CANE!!!

LYNN SUFFERS THE SAME FATE…

AS DOES CREDIBLE…

THE SANDMAN IS HOLDING OFF THE NETWORK WITH HIS SINGAPORE CANE…

UNTIL HE GETS DRILLED WITH AN ACE KRUSHER FROM BEHIND BY HOMICIDE!!!

The excitement from the fans immediately dies down now, as The Network recovers, and with Homicide by their side, this is a four on one attack.

The TV Champ, CW Anderson picks up the Singapore Cane…

AND SWINGS WILDLY… HITTING THE SANDMAN IN THE DICK WITH THE SINGAPORE CANE!!!

A brutal echo of the collision vibrates around the arena, and despite hating it, the audience can’t help but chant “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”.

CW hands the Cane to Justin Credible now, who is somewhat of a Singapore Cane specialist himself… CREDIBLE GOES TO TOWN NOW… LANDING FIVE QUICK SHOTS WITH THE CANE TO THE DEFENSELESS BODY OF THE SANDMAN!!!

Suddenly, Lynn tells his teammates, “HEY, LET’S GET HIM UP SO I CAN DROP HIM WITH THE CRADLE PILEDRIVER”!!!

But all of his “buddies” no sell his idea, and continue to just kick the shit out of The Sandman. Not wanting to feel left out, Lynn joins in, and begins stomping on Sandman as well.

Suddenly, the fans ERUPT as EYE BALLS AND TOMMY DREAMER SPRINT DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDE INTO THE RING!!!

It’s four on three, BUT IT’S AN ALL OUT BRAWL AS THE FACES TRADE PUNCHES WITH THE NETWORK AND HOMICIDE!!!

As the battle continues, it becomes three on three and CW Anderson manages to duck out of the action. He picks up his ECW TV Title…

AND ANDERSON SMASHES PCO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE TV TITLE!!!

This drops PCO and now it’s should be four on two…

BUT LOW KI SPRINTS DOWN FROM THE BACK AND SLIDES INTO THE RING!!!

Low Ki wants a piece of CW for stealing his title… AND HE IMMEDIATELY BEGINS LAYING INTO ANDERSON WITH HIS SAVAGE KICKS!!!

Anderson is forced to scurry from the ring… SO LOW KI AND HOMICIDE MEET IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!

THEY BEGIN TRADING BLOWS, NEITHER MAN BACKING DOWN…

Its MAYHEM AS THE “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants are continuous at this point…

And as Balls continues to hold his own…

TOMMY DREAMER SLIDES INTO THE RING WITH TWO CHAIRS…

GIVING ONE TO THE RECOVERED SANDMAN…

After seeing the two extremists with chairs, ALL REMAINING MEMBERS OF THE NETWORK AND HOMICIDE SLIDE OUT OF THE RING AND DECIDE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY!!!

The heat for the cowardly act is enormous from the crowd, whilst the faces beg for The Network to come back to the ring.

They don’t though, having been rattled and clearly having had enough of a fight for the evening…




-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Upon returning from our final commercial break of the evening, we see a fired up SUPER CRAZY standing in the back.

Super Crazy: Nobody insults the competition in ECW…

Of course in between English words, there is a bunch of Crazy’s native tongue thrown in, but I don’t understand it.

Super Crazy: Christopher Daniels… Nobody is undefeated after they fight me…

Oh boy! This could be interesting.

Super Crazy: I challenge you!

Short and sharp from the intense Super Crazy, as he now mean mugs the camera, attempting to look into Christopher Daniels’ soul…



Match Three
ECW Championship Match

Steve Corino (c) w/Dawn Marie and Jack Victory defends against Kid Kash

All the confidence in the world from Corino earlier in the day, and even as the bell rang to signal the start of the match, could not prepare him for Kash’s initial onslaught. Kash definitely isn’t letting this opportunity pass him by, as he takes it to the champion right from the get-go and does a fantastic job of using his quickness to keep Corino off balance. Only a few minutes into the contest, Kash gets a few very close near falls with a Backslide, Inside Cradle and an Oklahoma Roll.

Luckily, Corino was crafty enough to get out of the pinfall attempts and get back to his feet. ‘The Notorious K.I.D.’ charges at Corino, gaining a full head of steam, but ‘The King Of Old School’ deliberately pokes his challenger right in the eye. As Kash staggers around blindly, rather than take advantage, Corino drops underneath the bottom rope and goes to the outside, choosing to take a breather. Using the stalling tactic, Corino tries to initiate a meeting with Victory and Dawn, but Kash has his sight back now…

SO KASH CHARGES ACROSS THE RING… AND LEAPS OVER THE TOP ROPE… LANDING ON CORINO WITH A FLIPPING SENTON!!!

Victory and Marie just managed to avoid contact but the fans lose their shit with an “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chant anyway. With a surge of adrenaline, Kash leaps back to his feet and lets out a yell, getting an appreciate pop from the fans. KK now focuses back on the task at hand, as he rolls Corino into the ring, and begins to lay into him with punches and kicks. Kash is in control, landing some more blows, before he waits for the champion to get to his feet. As Corino staggers up, Kash bounces off the ropes…

BUT JACK VICTORY GRABS HIS LEG… TRIPPING HIM UP FROM THE OUTSIDE!!!

As you can imagine, the heat is enormous, with the trip causing Kash to land face first on the canvas. Due to the rough landing, he stays down, and this allows the champion to take control. Corino dominates for a good portion of the match now, showing why he’s the champion but he’s unable to put him away. Eventually he gets a bit cocky, mouthing off to the fans, and this allows the plucky challenger to make a comeback.

Sensing that things are going south as Corino gets dropped with an Enzuiguri…

JUSTIN CREDIBLE RUNS OUT FROM THE BACK AND LEAPS ONTO THE APRON!!!

BUT KASH IMMEDIATELY TAKES HIM OUT WITH A TRIANGLE DROPKICK!!!


Despite the blow, Credible is back up pretty quickly, red faced and embarrassed as Kash yells at him, “STAY OUT OF THIS”! Suddenly…

KASH TURNS INTO A CHARGING CORINO…

BUT DUCKS HIS HEAD… BACK BODYDROPPING CORINO OVER THE TOP ROPE AND TO THE OUTSIDE…

AND CORINO LANDS ON CREDIBLE!!!


Both members of The Network are down as the fans mark out, chanting “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” yet again. On the other side of the ring, Victory and Marie are freaking out, as KK is stalking Corino and Credible from inside of the ring. Credible and Corino use each other to get up, apologizing to each other for the collision…

WHEN KASH TAKES BOTH MEN DOWN AGAIN WITH A SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!!!

“ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants continue to reign supreme as Kash truly is putting in the performance of his life. Kash gets back to his feet, a little slower this time, and he picks up the dead weight of Corino and slides him back into the ring. ‘The Notorious K.I.D.’ takes a moment or two to catch his breath, before he slides into the ring as well…

BUT CREDIBLE GETS INTO THE RING QUICKER…

AND HE ATTACKS KASH WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!


Kash is down now and being stomped on by Credible, and this allows Corino to recover…

WHEN TOMMY DREAMER SLIDES INTO THE RING!!!

TOMMY AND CREDIBLE IMMEDIATELY BEGIN TRADING PUNCHES…

AND THEIR BRAWL SENDS THEM TUMBLING THROUGH THE ROPES AND TO THE OUTSIDE!!!


“ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants continue as both Kash and Corino are using the ropes to pull themselves back up…

AS RHINO SLIDES INTO THE RING!!!

RHINO LOOKS AT CORINO…

AND CHARGES FOR THE GORE…

BUT CORINO STEPS ASIDE AND RHINO GORED KID KASH!!!


Was that a plan? Or just a smart move from Corino? Nobody is entirely sure, as Rhino is back up, a glare on his face…

BUT HE ALLOWS CORINO TO CRAWL ON TOP OF KASH FOR THE COVER…

1…2…3!!!

Winner – Steve Corino @ 14:57

The fans boo the finish as they really wanted to see Kid Kash win. Corino doesn’t even get up to face Rhino, instead choosing to roll straight out of the ring.

Credible and Dreamer are probably still fighting somewhere, but they’ve fought through the audience and out of sight.

Victory and Dawn greet Corino with the ECW Title, and Corino raises it above his head as he continues to retreat.


The booing continues from the fans, as Rhino just stands in the middle of the ring, not moving an inch, his stare fixed on the ECW Title draped over Corino’s shoulder…

Yep, so we are beginning with some in ring action tonight. I don’t write entrances anymore unless something important is happening during them, so this line of text is literally just here to break up the bold.

Match One
Bryan Danielson vs. Julio Dinero w/Hot Commodity

Danielson hasn’t been around for long, but based off of a few performances, we already know he can wrestle circles around each member of Hot Commodity. This is exactly how the match started, with Julio barely getting in any offense, however due to interference from EZ MONEY AND CHRIS HAMRICK, Dinero is able to get on top of Danielson. It doesn’t long though, as Bryan goes to turn the tables again, and Hot Commodity try to interfere again, but ‘The American Dragon’ is able to knock both the idiots off of the apron.

With no back up and no support, Julio is in a world of trouble, as Danielson makes him look like a practice dummy on an amateur wrestling match. After roughing up his opponent a little, DANIELSON CONNECTS WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX!!!

AND DANIELSON HOLDS THE BRIDGE FOR THE COVER…

1…2…3!!!

Winner – Bryan Danielson @ 4:27

After the match, an appreciative applause is let out of the audience, as the referee raises Danielson’s hand in victory. Out of the corner of his eye, Danielson notices a furious Hamrick and EZ Money sliding back into the ring, but Danielson decides to fight another day, rolling underneath the bottom rope and to the outside.

The Hot Commodity are furious inside of the ring, but not interested in a squabble with them, Danielson turns his back and continues walking up the ramp.


As he disappears, “False Salvation” by All Out War hits to a decent response from the fans, as DA BALDIES step through the curtain. ANGEL AND TONY DEVITO walk half way down the ramp before stopping, whilst Hot Commodity looks furious inside of the ring. Da Baldies share a smirk before Tony begins speaking.

Tony DeVito: Look, I know you boys might have a full plate, because you might have to worry about The Bruise Brothers in a few weeks.

Hot Commodity nod, agreeing that they are busy, but Da Baldies don’t care.

Tony DeVito: But that’s in a few weeks… As for right now…

The audience begin to buzz, wondering where this is going.


Tony DeVito: The Bruise Brothers aren’t on the agenda, we are the only baldies you need to worry about!

Hot Commodity remain confused, but Da Baldies drop the microphone…

AND THEY SLIDE INTO THE RING!!!

ALL FIVE MEN IMMEDIATELY TRADE BLOWS, WITH DA BALDIES HOLDING THEIR OWN DESPITE THE THREE ON TWO DISADVANTAGE!!!

The fist fight continues, as the fans chant “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, until…


RON HARRIS AND DON HARRIS… THE HARRIS BROTHERS SLIDE INTO THE RING AND JOIN IN THE BRAWL!!!

The Harris brothers together begin focusing on beating down EZ Money, whilst Angel is able to hammer Hamrick on the other side of the ring.

Meanwhile, DeVito begins to pull out a pair of scissors…

AND DINERO BEGINS CUTTING THE HAIR OF DINERO!!!

He only takes a few snips as the brawl around him continues, whilst the fans ramp up the “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chant…

BECAUSE RHINO IS MAKING HIS WAY DOWN THE RAMP!!!

DeVito throws away the scissors and rolls out of the ring, and Angel joins him…

BUT SO DO THE HARRIS BROTHERS!!!

They have left Hot Commodity in the ring, but THE HARRIS BROTHERS AND DA BALDIES NOW KEEP FIGHTING… BATTLING OVER THE CROWD BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD!!!

Meanwhile, inside of the ring, Dinero battles to his feet…

ONLY TO GET KILLED WITH A GORE FROM RHINO!!!

A big time pop comes from the fans as EZ Money uses the ropes to get up, and Hamrick is fighting to his feet just in front of him.

Hamrick checks on EZ, making sure he’s okay…

SO RHINO GORES HAMRICK IN THE BACK… AND THERE’S SO MUCH GORE THAT HE TAKES HAMRICK WITH HIM… AND GORES THE FUCK OUT OF EZ MONEY!!!

Big time “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants ring out for the Double Gore, as the former ECW Champion, despite looking as angry as ever, is clearly enjoying himself.

With all three members of Hot Commodity victims at this point, Rhino snatches a microphone from ringside. He paces back and forth, breathing heavily, the definition of intensity, as he begins getting his point across.


Rhino: I FUCKING TOLD YOU THAT PEOPLE WERE DYING EVERY WEEK!!!

The fans mark out for his first sentence, but Rhino ignores that, fury in his eyes.

Rhino: THE FIRST PERSON IN MY PATH WHEN I TURN AROUND IS GETTING THEIR FUCKING NECK BROKEN JUST LIKE LITTLE SPIKE!!!

He’s not kidding as he turns around to see that Hamrick and Money have smartly vacated the ring, but Dinero has not been able to do so.

Rhino grabs Julio by his half cut hair, and drags him across the ring and out to the ring apron. Once onto the apron, Rhino puts Julio’s head between his legs, lets out a roar…

AND DRILLS DINERO WITH A PILEDRIVER OFF OF THE APRON AND THROUGH THE FUCKING TIME KEEPER’S TABLE!!!

Absolute carnage for the second week in a row as Dinero may be dead. Rhino gets up and punches his own chest, feeling pumped up at the violence, and yet another “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chant can be heard.

Rhino continues to stand amongst the chaos, whilst ‘Damage Control’ begin to charge down the ramp, and we cut to our first commercial break of the evening…

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

When we return from the commercial break, a video package is playing of ‘Damage Control’ lodging the body of JULIO DINERO onto a stretcher. They cart him through the curtain, to the back, and straight into an ambulance, as he’s worried brothers, EZ MONEY AND CHRIS HAMRICK watch on…



Once the video package ends, we head to the same conference room/giant locker room as last week, where The Network seem ready for another state of address. CYRUS stands in front of the group consisting of CW ANDERSON, JERRY LYNN AND JUSTIN CREDIBLE. The only member missing is Steve Corino and his crew, which gives Lynn and Credible more space to stretch and warm up ahead of their match tonight.

Cyrus clears his throat, ready to begin speaking…

BUT HE STOPS AS THE DOOR SLAMS OPEN AND A FUMING RHINO WALKS IN!!!


Rhino stands in his own corner of the room, refusing to let Cyrus touch him, and he immediately begins speaking.

Rhino: I’m only in here for a couple of minutes, you all better listen up.

Most likely out of fear, Rhino has the attention of the entire room. This doesn’t lighten his mood at all.

Rhino: I heard you all had some questions last week, but I’ve got the only answer. I’m getting the pin at Anarchy Rulz!

‘The Big Fuckin’ Deal’ puffs out his chest, almost daring somebody to challenge, but nobody does. As a matter of fact, nobody even looks him in the eye.

Rhino: This is the only way that guarantees your safety. If any one of you get in the way of MY FUCKING TITLE SHOT…you’ll be just as dead as little Spike and whatever that fucking Mexican’s name was.

The former champ continues to breathe heavily, waiting for somebody to say something, but none of the wrestlers have the guts to say anything. The leader of The Network though, Cyrus puts on a cheesy grin and takes a friendly step towards Rhino.

Cyrus: You’re preaching to the choir here, champ. That’s the plan, you’re our number one guy.

Cyrus takes another step towards Rhino, trying to close the gap, but Rhino just scoffs at all of them and storms out of the room.

This obviously makes Cyrus a little uneasy and a bemused CW Anderson just shakes his head. Credible and Lynn on the other hand, look very concerned.

Justin Credible: I don’t know what we are going to do to solve this situation. He’s gonna’ kill Corino before we even make it to the cage.

Before the doubts can continue to flood in from the others, Cyrus knowing nods and puts his hands up, telling the guys to stop.

Cyrus: Look, I know that it doesn’t look good, but I’ve got a plan. I’m separating them until Rhino can… Cool down.

All three of the wrestlers look questionably at Cyrus, not thinking the chances of Rhino calming down are high.


Cyrus: You guys don’t need to worry about that right now though, you need to focus on tonight.

Lynn nods in agreement, lacing his boots, not noticing that Credible and Anderson seem to be staring him down.


Justin Credible: Don’t just nod your head, Jerry. You’re beginning to make it a habit, don’t drop the ball out there again.

Jerry shoots Credible a dirty look, clearly unhappy with the disrespect.

Jerry Lynn: Honestly, I don’t need to put up with your crap. You’re the worst.

Time for a lightening quick comeback.


Justin Credible: As a matter of fact, I’m just incredible.

Credible chuckles to himself as Lynn and CW are on the same page for a change, cringing at the response from Credible. Cyrus loves it though, perhaps even too much, clearly trying to lighten the mood as he slaps Credible some five.


Realizing the team is still a bit flat after Rhino’s threats, Cyrus takes a risk and PUTS UP THE V~!


Cyrus: HIGH SPOT~!

Cyrus is all smiles and CW smirks, whilst Lynn and Credible, on opposite sides of the room, continue to get ready for tonight’s main event. The Network is, well, kind of, on the same page…




One more promo before the next match as the scene opens up to see EYE BALLS standing by in the back. Of course they have a trusty steel chair each in tow, as BALLS MAHONEY AND PIERRE CARL OULETTE share a serious look.


Balls Mahoney: Pierre, you’ve been up north, you’ve been down south, and you’ve had a crazy career. And I know you’ve only been here about a year…

Oulette nods along with Mahoney’s words.

Balls Mahoney: You’ve made a damn good mark in the land of extreme in a year. You’ve had a shot at the ECW Title and we’ve had one shot at the tag team titles.

Balls pauses, letting those words sink in, whilst Pierre adjusts his eye patch before speaking up.

Pierre Carl Oulette: I did have a shot at the ECW Title a few months back, and I was THIS close to beating Rhino for the ECW Championship.

Pierre holds up his index finger and thumb to demonstrate how close he was.

Pierre Carl Oulette: With all due respect, Rhino was a tougher champion then our current champion. I know if Steve Corino had the guts to face either one of us one on one…

He pauses for a second, mulling over his thoughts.

Pierre Carl Oulette: The thousands of Eye Balls in the stands would be pleased, because he wouldn’t leave with the ECW Title.

The two clearly have singles gold on their mind, as Oulette allows Balls to talk again, the two still clearly in agreement with each other.

Balls Mahoney: I mentioned your title shot history so far in ECW because I haven’t had a title shot in a long time, and I will do anything at Anarchy Rulz to earn a title shot… But tonight…

Balls is dead serious and PCO smirks at the frankness of his partner.

Balls Mahoney: But tonight, we are on the same page. Tonight, we will once again take care of The Network heading into Anarchy Rulz.

Mahoney puts out his hand and PCO shakes it, before continuing on.

Pierre Carl Oulette: I feel the same way as you, one hundred percent. At Anarchy Rulz, inside the cage…

PCO pauses again.

Pierre Carl Oulette: It’s going to be something we both haven’t experienced before, and I wish you luck.

Despite the kind nature of his statement, he holds up his finger as if to say “there’s more”.

Pierre Carl Oulette: And we will forever be Eye Balls, but when it came to the title shot…

The Frenchman motions for the title to be around his waist.

Pierre Carl Oulette: Friendships will be cast aside, and it will every man for himself.

Despite having the same individual goals, the two shake hands again, showing that they are on the same page. They are a team even if at Anarchy Rulz they might need to compete against each other for the title…



Match Two
Three Way Dance

Danny Doring vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Mikey Whipwreck

This match is an interesting one as Doring and Mikey obviously have a tag title match to look forward to heading into Anarchy Rulz, whereas Daniels just seems to have been thrown in here for something to do. Either way, it makes for an entertaining match, with Daniels showing his arrogance in the beginning and gaining the attention of both men. Mikey and Doring surprisingly team up, much to the delight of the fans, and they double team Daniels, to the point where he can’t get back into the ring. With the third wheel out of the match, we get somewhat of half a preview of Anarchy Rulz as Doring and Whipwreck throw everything at each other.

Eventually, Doring gets on top and drops Mikey with a Scoop Slam, heading to the top rope, looking for some sort of high risk move. Mikey shows his resilience though, getting up and crotching DD on the top rope. One half of the tag team champions meets his opponent at the top rope…

AND MIKEY LEAPS OFF… TAKING DORING WITH HIM WITH A SUPER WHIPPERSNAPPER!!!

Both men show no signs of life in the early stages, whilst the fans chant “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” for the epic move. Mikey begins to stir…

WHEN CHRISTOPHER DANIELS HOOKS HIM WITH A CRUCIFIX PIN…

1…2…3!!!

Elimination #1 – Mikey Whipwreck @ 6:02


The fans don’t like it as Mikey is eliminated and ‘The Fallen Angel’ lets out a smirk, happy with his opportunistic handiwork. With Doring still feeling the impact of the blow, Daniels went for the cover, but Doring managed to roll a shoulder off of the canvas at the last second. Daniel gets frustrated by this, but begins to put in work anyway, sticking to his usual tactics, focusing on the neck of Doring. Much like Mikey though, Doring has incredible resilience and the ‘Danaconda’ is able to make a comeback.

Doring begun to show that he could potentially have a future in singles competition as well (lol, jokes), as he really begins to rock Daniels. With the momentum on his side, Danny Doring is able to score several near falls, but Daniels shows off some fight of his own, refusing to stay down for the three count.

Confident that he has done enough, Doring drags Daniels up…

AND PUTS DANIELS IN POSITION FOR THE BUTTERFLY DDT…

DANIELS BREAKS FREE AND TWISTS OUT…

BEFORE CONNECTING WITH THE ANGEL’S WINGS!!!

‘THE FALLEN ANGEL’ HOOKS THE LEG…

1…2…3!!!

Elimination #2 – Danny Doring @ 11:13


Winner – Christopher Daniels @ 11:13

The bell rings to signal the end of the contest and Daniels enjoys the moment when the referee raises his hand. The usual heat is coming from the fans for the fact that they don’t like Daniels, but his victory tonight was clean.

Danny Doring rolls out of the ring, licking his wounds as he makes his way to the back, whilst the confident Christoper Daniels grabs a microphone. Whilst the fans continue to boo, Daniels looks at them with disdain before beginning.

Christopher Daniels: What a surprise! Chalk TWO more up for the Fallen Angel!

Immediate arrogance which gets more heat from the fans, but CD smirks at the reaction this time.


Christopher Daniels: It was inevitable… But there are a couple of other things I want to talk about tonight. Firstly, I’m glad to see Low Ki’s TV Title reign ended as quickly as possible, because it goes to show what I already knew.

Boos for the Low Ki hate but the reaction is ignored.

Christopher Daniels: It showed the world that Low Ki is a pretender, living off one solid performance against me. I’m the leader of the new generation.

The fans don’t agree as Daniels points to himself to emphasize his point.

Christopher Daniels: It’s me, not Low Ki and not anybody else!

He takes a moment or two, striding around the ring before speaking again.

Christopher Daniels: Now that’s perfectly clear, and keeping it in mind…

Daniels is forced to stop due to more boos from the fans. He waits, albeit clearly agitated, shaking his head.

Christopher Daniels: Last week something happened that I didn’t expect. I saw that a certain insane luchador issued me a challenge for Anarchy Rulz.

‘The Fallen Angel’ almost sounds gleeful as he mentions the challenge.

Christopher Daniels: I appreciate the challenge, and as always, I accept the challenge.

Finally, a pop during this promo. The fans are clearly looking forward to seeing Daniels/Crazy at Anarchy Rulz.

Christopher Daniels: And just as I always accept challenges, I always and will emerge victorious.

Boos again for the smug nature of Daniels.

Christopher Daniels: Now Super Crazy, listen real closely and get your subtitles ready if you need to. I will beat you and that’s not insane, that’s not a prediction, and that’s not a promise.

He gets really close to the camera now, wanting to deliver his last message up close and personal.

Christopher Daniels: You wanna’ know what that is? THAT… IS… GOSPEL!!!

More heat from the fans as Daniels places the microphone to the canvas and unceremoniously leaves the ring. As he heads up the ramp, the commentators put over how impressive he has been, before cutting too commercial…

-COMMERCIAL BREAK-

Before our main event, we get a video package…

And now, let’s get cracking with the main event…

Match Three
Eye Balls vs. Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible


There was no feeling out process in this one, as we got our typical ECW main event, with all hell breaking loose right from the get-go. They fight inside of the ring, outside of the ring, all around ringside, through the crowd and even up the ramp, with this match not resembling a tag match right from the beginning. At times, the referee pleads with them to bring the action back to the ring, but it didn’t happen for what felt like an eternity. Just as it felt as if Eye Balls were really taking control of the extreme fight, and they got a hold of their steel chairs (which of course had the names “JERRY” and “JUSTIN” on them, Credible and Lynn retreat back to the ring.

This obviously gets boos from the fans but Lynn and Credible decide that they probably have a better chance of getting a winning in a straight wrestling match. It turns out they are completely right as well, as they fare much better now that the match has settled in to a traditional tag team match. Unfortunately, at different times they are unable to dominate and completely isolate one of their opponents, as every time they get close, their differences cause them to struggle to cooperate and almost capitulate.

After taking their eyes off the ball one time too many, The Networkallowsw Eye Balls to fight back into the match. The match breaks down into an absolute brawl yet again and Eye Balls have their opponents reeling, which allows PCO to slide outside of the ring…

PICK UP A STEEL CHAIR AND SLIDE BACK INTO THE RING!!!

He can’t use the chair straight away as he is greeted by a right hand from Credible, and the fight is on yet again. Again, Mahoney begins to dominate Lynn, sending him to the corner and drilling him with right hands, whilst PCO gets back on top of Credible. Suddenly, the fans begin to stir…

AS CW ANDERSON SPRINTS DOWN THE RAMP AND SLIDES INTO THE RING!!!

PCO drops Credible with a Headbutt, but staggers a little himself…

BUT HE STAGGERS STRAIGHT INTO AN ANDERSON SPINEBUSTER ON THE STEEL CHAIR BY CW ANDERSON!!!

Groans echo throughout the arena as “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA”, “ECDUBBYA” chants start up, whilst Oulette clutches his back on the canvas. CW hops onto the apron and pauses for a moment to admire his handiwork…

AND MAHONEY SHOULDER CHARGES HIM… SENDING ANDERSON CRASHING OFF OF THE APRON AND INTO THE CROWD BARRICADE!!!

The fans mark out for Anderson getting his comeuppance, but Lynn immediately nails a Dropkick to Mahoney, sending him tumbling through the ropes and to the outside. Lynn then looks to make the cover on the downed PCO…

WHEN CREDIBLE GRABS LYNN FROM BEHIND AND TOSSES HIM OUT OF THE RING!!!

WHAT THE HELL? The fans are shocked as Credible has a shit eating grin on his face, before dropping down to make the cover…

1…2…3!!!

Winners – Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible @ 14:49

Post-match, CW Anderson, slightly hurt, joins Credible in the ring and together the two celebrate, not allowing the referee near Credible to raise his hand.

The heat is enormous from the fans as a battered Mahoney drags PCO from the ring, as the two need to recuperate and fight another day.

As the celebration for Credible continues, Jerry Lynn slides back into the ring and he is fuming. Anderson watches on with interest, as Lynn stops Credible from heading to a corner of the ring to celebrate some more.

Credible laughs and tries to walk around him…

BUT LYNN SHOVES CREDIBLE IN THE CHEST!!!

Credible looks shocked as Lynn yells “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT”?

Justin Credible immediately responds with, “I THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA’ FIND A WAY TO MESS IT UP”!

The tension is clear, the two go nose to nose, as the fans chant “FIGHT”, “FIGHT”, “FIGHT”.

Quite quickly, CW gets in between them and tells them both to “REMEMBER WHAT WE ARE FIGHTING FOR”.

With the powerful Anderson separating them, the two finally cool down, and share a nod, before heading to different sides of the ring to continue to celebrate the victory.


The Network are on the same page, mainly thanks to CW Anderson, as he continued to guard the space between Credible and Lynn, whilst the show fades to black...

ECW News And Notes

At ECW Heatwave, in an Elimination Tag Team Match, the young duo of Christian York and Joey Matthews were able to eliminate The Full Blooded Italians. Since that moment, the hot blooded Italians have had it in for the team that a lot of people (probably just Wolfy) call future tag team champions. On the edition of ECW Hardcore TV after Heatwave, Little Guido proclaimed in a rather cryptic message that the Italians needed to teach the kids a lesson in respect.

Two weeks later, The Network booked Joey Matthews against Little Guido in singles competition. Of course, Matthews brought York to have his back, whilst Guido had the entire FBI with him. The numbers advantage turned out to be the difference in the contest, as Matthews actually did a fantastic job of competing against Guido. Unfortunately, once York was busy ensuring Mamaluke didn’t interfere, he got decimated by Big Sal and a ring post. This gave the freedom of allowing The FBI to knock Matthews off of the top rope, which allowed Guido to pick up the scraps and get the win.

On the most recent edition of Hardcore TV, neither team made an appearance, however it has come to our attention that behind the scenes, Matthews and York were lobbying for another shot at The FBI. We can confirm that Cyrus and The Network were happy to book the match, and it will take place in two weeks at Anarchy Rulz.
