ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN July 14th, 2000 Philadelphia, PA In the ring, Joey and Joel do their introductions and bring out Raven! The fans chant "PLEASE DON'T GO!" at him, AND RAVEN ACTUALLY SAYS THANK YOU AND HUGS JOEY AND THEN GERTNER. Cyrus comes out with Scotty Anton and says he doesn't mean to break up this tearful goodbye and he knows this place holds a lot of memories for him and these people and he spilled a lot of blood here and made these idiots really happy here. The fans chant "THANK YOU RAVEN" and Cyrus yells to thank him. Cyrus says all his titles don't mean anything to this Network and his blood spilled is like water through a toilet to this Network. AND A FUCKING "USA" CHANT BREAKS OUT. FUCK YEAH EARLY 2000S INDY CROWDS. Cyrus says he doesn't care about his gimmick and they know that he stole this gimmick from The Jackyl! HUGE POP. Cyrus asks who the hell he is to come out and cut a promo on his network when he's leaving. HE CONCEDED TO THE NETWORK. HE BENT OVER FOR THE NETWORK JUST LIKE PAUL HEYMAN IS GOING TO HAVE TO BEND OVER. Raven goes to leave, but Cyrus stops him SCOTTY TRIES TO ATTACK, BUT RAVEN HITS THE EVENFLOW! FUCK YEAH! RAVEN GRABS CYRUS FOR IT, BUT RHINO RUNS DOWN. RAVEN JUMPS OVER ONE GORE, BUT CYRUS HOLDS HIS LEG FOR THE SECOND! They bring in a table, and Rhino runs Raven through it. THE SANDMAN MAKES THE SAVE FOR RAVEN THOUGH HOLY SHIT. LORI FULLINGTON GOES AFTER CYRUS AND SECURITY HOLDS EVERYONE BACK! FUCK YEAH! To ruin it, Anton beats down on Raven on the floor before the segment ends. In the back, RVD says he has no respect for Scotty Anton, and he's going to introduce him to the Van Terminator. In the bathroom, Pitbull #1 cuts a shitty promo about how he's back. The Blue Meanie, now skinny, comes out of a stall with Jasmin St. Claire and he says he's The Blue Boy now. He calls Pitbull #1 a fatass and asks if he's lost his pride. Pitbull #1 asks if he's serious and Blue Boy keeps making horrible jokes and backs off when Pitbull wants to fight. She low blows him and Blue shoves him down and says he's nothing but sweat off the Blue Boy's ass. Match #1: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Mikey Whipwreck This rules, because it's Tajiri. Mikey brings some cool stuff here for the four minutes this goes, and it's a good Tajiri showcase. He breaks out his insanely quick hook Superkick, and blinds Mikey with the mist before making him tap out to the Octopus Stretch. **1/4 After the match, Joey announces Tajiri vs. Guido vs. Psicosis for the PPV. Dat demotion of the best wrestler in the world who shined in his big match opportunities. WHY? TONIGHT: CORINO VS. LYNN IN THE DREAM PARTNER TAG! In the back, Francine shows off her fantastic cleavage and asks if we want to see something extreme. Credible says people are going to see it this Sunday in the first ever Stairway to Hell match. NOPE. You were literally there for the first one, pal. He says they're both going to bleed and hurt and one man will walk away the ECW Champion. And that man is Justin Credible. Why even open your fucking mouth, you fucking pleb? Team Me comes out, and DIAMOND AND JOHNNY HAVE A PROBLEM. Simon says they are sick of being treated like a comedy act, and CW Anderson comes out. He says if they don't want to be a comedy act, this is how an Anderson does it. You just have to get rid of the comedy, AND CW DESTROYS THE ENTOURAGE WITH DEM LEFTS. Diamond and Johnny destroy their entourage too, and CW issues a challenge. Doring and Roadkill come out to fight, but Amish gets hit with a chair by CW and Doring suffers the Snapshot, now named the Problem Solver. AND ONE FOR ROADKILL TOO. BUT FUCKING BOBBY EATON COMES OUT TO CLEAN HOUSE?! SO RANDOM, BUT IT'S BOBBY EATON. He and CW have an awesome punch off, but it's a 3 on 1. CW lays him out with a Superkick, and Diamond says that's how you solve a problem. In the back for the card update, Joey announces Corino vs. Lynn for Heatwave. So that's it? Lynn' s just a babyface again because The Network was using him as a red herring? Nevermind all the times he screwed over Tajiri and sort of helped them out and all of that, we're just -- fuck it. Fucking ECW. Joey says Lynn turned down The Network, which never happened, and he seemed receptive to joining for the last two months. Steve Corino and Jerry Lynn come out for the main event. Lynn now has a towel with him for his entrance so he can try to get some of that boring but super awesome workman type style of a Ronnie Garvin, but it doesn't work. Corino asks if that's his crying towel for when he beats him at Heatwave, but then says he won't even make it there and brings out Rhino as his partner. IMMEDIATE GORE ON JERRY LYNN FUCK YEAH. The Sandman comes out to be Lynn's partner. Match #2: Jerry Lynn/The Sandman vs. Steve Corino/Rhino w/ Jack Victory Really really fun brawl, and almost great at that. They get like six minutes and don't go wild, but it's just a well put together little deal to hype the matches at the PPV. Corino debuts the Old School Expulsion here, and Cyrus hits Lynn three times with a microphone to stop the finish. Corino hits the Old School Kick, but Lynn kicks out. CORINO HITS A REVERSE DDT OFF THE APRON ONTO THE TIMEKEEPER'S TABLE, BUT IT DOESN'T BREAK. JESUS. Corino puts him through with an elbow drop, but Spike Dudley comes out in his cast. SANDMAN AND SPIKE HIT THE 3D ON RHINO AND SANDMAN WINS! **3/4 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV July 16th, 2000 Poughkeepsie, NY TONIGHT: RHINO/RAVEN FOR THE TV TITLE! In the back, Cyrus and Rhino cut a promo. Cyrus says everybody's talking about Raven, the man who treats this place like his animal house, but he has THE animal. Rhino says he's got the one title he hasn't held before and he kicked his motherfucking ass before, and dares him to kick HIS ass tonight. The Credible/Francine promo from TNN airs. Team Me comes out to the ring, and because this was filmed before the ECW Arena show, they have the entourage with them. Simon turns on them on the mic and fires Mitch. I miss Dick. Wait, what? The Prodigy and Prodigette attack them and a match happens. WHY? Match #1: Team Me vs. The Prodigy/The Prodigette w/ Mitch They randomly give a bunch of offense to the lackeys, largely erasing that serious push they'd been getting and pulling off lately. The lackeys are pretty horrible, and Diamond and Johnny get the win with the Problem Solver. 3/4* In the back, Joel plugs the Hammerstein Ballroom shows on 8/25 and 8/26. In the back, shitty new FBI cuts a promo. Guido says they have a big six man tag team match, and Mamaluke says all the FBI members are here. Tony Mamaluke, the Sicilian Shooter, and the Big Salbowski. Sal says he's gonna eat their opponents like the first nine buffet plates. Match #2: Kid Kash vs. CW Anderson w/ Elektra Again, filmed before the CW/Team Me trio debuted. This is good again. Joey Styles announces a six man tag for Heatwave of CW and Team Me vs. Doring, Roadkill, and Kash. AWESOME SORTA! Some fun basics with the speed vs. power dynamic here, Kash's great dives, CW's beautiful left hands and Superkick, etc. Team Me comes out and Kash dives on them. CW then sits down on a sunset flip and grabs the ropes for three. Disappointingly average finish. **1/4 It's a three on one before Doring and Roadkill run to save! The Blue Boy/Pitbull segment from TNN airs. Match #3: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke/Sal E. Graziano vs. Chris Chetti/Nova/Chilly Willy WHY?! Guido tried, but this is just not happening. Sloppiness is abound here with Mamaluke despite some decent ideas. He's better here than in ROH or TNA when he tried to be super serious, but still not very good. Chilly Willy and Sal get into a dance off, and I've been desensitized by years of Human Tornado dance offs. This is nothing. Tony gets beaten with the Faggot Splash. 3/4* The RVD promo from TNN airs. Match #4: Rhino [c] w/ Cyrus vs. Raven [ECW Television Championship] This is Raven's last ECW match. It's under 4 minutes, which is SO upsetting. Raven does a few things but they mostly just kill time until Cyrus distracts Raven. He turns around into the Gore, and Rhino pins him to win. God DAMN, this was a huge disappointment. Rare that an ECW version of a match is fucking horrible compared to a WWF version later on. * |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ![]() ECW HEATWAVE 2000 JULY 16TH, 2000 LOS ANGELES, CA The show opens with video from the beach. Jasmin St. Claire is hot in a bikini and The Blue Boy says stuff. He calls fit people fat pieces of shit. They make out and it pans to Sinister Minister by the water. He says the Blue Boy sold his soul and now he reaps the benefits. This is no city of angels, it's the devil's playground. Let's face it, historically speaking every time there's a heat wave in LA, there's riots, burning, looting, pillaging, black outs. But he knows ECW fans are FAR too sophisticated to enjoy such games, so in the interest of culture, he presents ECW Heatwave 2000! He says this main event, Stairway to Hell, holds a special place in his heart. He says they're both up to their necks in hot water, and it pans to Mikey buried up to his neck in the sand. In the ring, Joey and Joel "I'm California Dreamin and I Leave The Girlies Screamin'. Because I'm a Pussy Demon, With Vanilla Flavored Semen" Gertner do their intros. Cyrus comes out for the interruption and says he's the man who had Super Crazy deported! He's the man who took the belt from Tajiri and handed to RHIIIIIIIIIIIIINO! He's the man who used ECW's advertising budget to promote RRRROOOOOOOLLERJAAAAAAAAAM! HE'S THE MAN WHO STRIPPED RVD OF THE WORLD TV TITLE! Joel says he's the man looking through the glory hole when George Michael was spanking it. Joel says he figured he'd come out here like usual and says he hasn't done color on a PPV in a while and only does it on a network he doesn't even want to be on. Cyrus says he's also the man WHO CANCELED ECW! AND JUST LIKE HE TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF ON ECW IN A FEW MONTHS, HE'LL TURN HIS LIGHTS OUT TOO. Cyrus says he's only here to deliver the fat faggot demographic and Joel says he knows how to handle fat faggots when they show up. Joel says he's been stealing his heat for months and says he goads him into these promos because he saves his ass and he makes his ass with these segments. Cyrus says he's gutless and he's never paid a due and it makes him sick. HE'S GOT HEAT WITH THE NETWORK BECAUSE HE'S A GUTLESS PIECE OF SHIT. Gertner says he'll leave then, honestly. Because he's got an IQ over 140, he went to an Ivy League college, and he doesn't want to be on TNN and he's tired of his bullshit. He's an asshole, and while it's been a pleasure working with Joey, he's leaving. Cyrus turns around said he told them all, AND GERTNER TAKES OFF THE BRACE AND JUMPS ON CYRUS FROM BEHIND! FUCK YEAH! THIS IS THE BEST NON-WRESTLER FEUD EVER. Security comes to break it up and Cyrus demands that Joel is taken to jail. During the ruckus, somehow Sal E. Graziano and Tony Mamaluke came out and they destroy refs until Balls Mahoney comes out. Match #1: Balls Mahoney vs. Sal E. Graziano w/ Tony Mamaluke Holy shit, Balls gets SQUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHED. Jesus, this was a bad one. Just over 90 seconds too. Sal wins with a Side Belly to Belly. 1/4* In the back, RVD and Fonzie cut a promo. RVD says Scotty's pissed him off like nobody else, and he's not just going to carry him through a five star match, but he'll carry him through a five star ass kicking. He says the Van Terminator is dangerous, but he's got it coming for what he did. He took away his ability to say he's unbeatable, and that comes with a price. And he's coming to collect. Rob Van Dam. THE WHOLE FUCKING SHOW. Clips air of the attack on Bobby Eaton. Team Me comes out to the ring and DIAMOND HAS A PROBLEM. He introduces CW Anderson as the solution. Lou E. Dangerously and Elektra try to come out with him, but he yells at them to go away and makes them go to the back. Match #2: Danny Doring/Roadkill/Kid Kash vs. CW Anderson/Team Me What the fuck? THIS WAS AWESOME. It's only 10-11 minutes and they waste nothing and go totally nuts. Johnny and Diamond are a fine basic heel team, I have to admit. Nothing flashy, but they fuck nothing up and don't make me mad in any way. CW is awesome, and all the babyfaces looked awesome. Doring had a good dive, Kash had his fantastic flip dive, AND ROADKILL FINALLY DELIVERED WITH HIS CRAZY CROSSBODY DIVE! They did stuff in the ring, and Kash saved Doring from the Problem Solver, and beat Johnny with the Moneymaker. *** In the back, Rhino cuts a promo. He asks Sandman if he knows what he loves the most? PUTTING HIS WIFE IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. And he likes hearing how her kids stand over her bed with her neck in traction laying on her back, just reeking of the rotten stench of her gash. He says to keep coming after him and to bring everything he possibly can. BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HE BRINGS. HE'S NOT LAYING DOWN AND EVER GIVING THIS UP. BECAUSE HE'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL. He keeps yelling to take it from him. Rhino is THE BEST. Match #3: Steve Corino w/ Jack Victory vs. Jerry Lynn This was an amazing Corino performance. Jerry Lynn holds this back somewhat. It's still a three star level piece of work, but if you get a fiery babyface in here who can make spirited comebacks and NOT do stupid shit like insisting on the same bullshit all the time, this can be a classic. Corino bleeds a ton and they have some great cheating based nearfalls while also making him look actually very skilled. Everything he does is super super crisp and on point and yeah. Lynn does the coolest thing he's ever done when he invents the blood finger painting spot and writes DIE on his stomach in Corino's blood. There's a ref bump and a cowbell nearfall, and then proving why he's the worst, Lynn breaks up the big move drama with THE FUCKING ROLL UP SEQUENCE. WHAT THE FUCK, MAN? THIS IS A GRUDGE MATCH, AND IT'S THE FINISHING RUN OF A GRUDGE MATCH! FUCK! Lynn then wins with the Cradle Piledriver, because ECW will find a way to shit in your mouth to finish off the great meal it just served you. *** Footage airs of Rhino/Sandman and the Lori assault at Hardcore Heaven. In the back, The Sandman cuts a promo with his wife by his side. He talks about Lori being in the hospital for 7 years BUT RHINO CANES HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD. RHINO GRABS LORI AND SAYS SHE'S FUCKING COMING WITH HIM, YOU FUCKING BITCH. Sandman gets up and fights Rhino into the bathroom and they get pulled apart. Up in the booth, they bring Dawn Marie to do commentary. Cyrus says he thinks he's popping a Nielson. New Jack comes out on crutches and Joey says he has a broken leg. He gets down super super slow even for crutches and Da Baldies come out to attack him. Chetti and Nova save. God damnit. Match #4: Chris Chetti/Nova vs. Angel/Tony DeVito Why? I guess the string of great matches needed a stop-gap of sorts. This is at least short at some four minutes. Chetti is still possibly the worst wrestler on the roster. Nova is now dressed as The Flash, somehow topping himself for horrible gear. He's a retard and does Triple Piledrivers and the Faggot Splash beats Angel. 3/4* In the back, Tommy Dreamer cuts a promo. He says before he became a wrestler, he worked in a pizzeria. He was on his feet for 12 hours a day and slaved away in front of a hot oven for his paycheck. And it was never quite enough, so he got a weekend job. He was fortunate enough to get into the wrestling business, and for what? To lose all his friends because he can never attend their events? To get heat with his family because he can't attend their functions? To lose girls that he's loved over a business that just takes and takes and takes, and for what? THAT BIG PAYOFF. And he wouldn't change anything. Justin Credible denied him that payoff and right, and he literally broke his back for this. He's not crying, but he's sick and tired of people like him who want to do everything the easy way. He likes the hard way. He starts banging his head into lockers and says to call him stupid, but that's just him. He's so sick and tired of being on a Network THAT DOESN'T APPRECIATE THEM. He's so sick and tired of seeing the wrestling business steal from ECW. He's sick and tired of Justin Credible, and he'll give him his blood. If he wants his flesh, he'll give him his flesh, because he will have his big payoff. And when it's all over, his mind, his spirit, and his body will be just like his silence. Broken. Mikey Whipwreck comes out to interrupt the three way dance, and it becomes a four way. Match #5: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis vs. Little Guido vs. Mikey Whipwreck w/ Sinister Minister [Elimination Match] This is really fun spotfest, because Tajiri generally doesn't have non-great matches on PPV this year. Mikey's intrusion means nothing as he's out in 90 seconds. He has a good dive and generally looks good though before Sal rams him into the post. He rolls him in, and Psicosis hits a Guillotine Legdrop for the elimination. Psicosis doesn't really bring it like we know he can, and after the Maritato followed by a Bridging German from Tajiri, he's out. Tajiri continues to do his thing and Guido is yet again along for the ride. Tajiri gets the mist and a chair Brainbuster to win. *** In the back, Justin Credible says words. He says he doesn't like this barbed wire one bit, because he's a trained classical professional wrestler. HAHAHAHAHA OKAY. He repeats his points from TNN saying two men will bleed and suffer, but he'll be the champion. God, you can't even talk. You can't talk, you can't wrestle, it takes a fucking army for you to get any heat. HOW IS THIS FUCK THE CHAMPION? Match #6: Rhino [c] vs. The Sandman [ECW Television Championship] This is a really good little match between them again, but it lacks the high drama and series of insane spots like Hardcore Heaven. They do some cool stuff with a piece of guardrail in the ring and Steve Corino and Jack Victory come out to interfere again. Spike Dudley comes out in his leg cast and hits Victory with a cane shot. 3D FOR CORINO YEAH! But Rhino mows him down AND HITS THE PILEDRIVER THROUGH THE TIMEKEEPER'S TABLE! He gets back in to cane shots, but he slips out of the White Russian and Sandman hits the guardrail. Rhino then hits a Piledriver on it to win, and it now feels like he really earned it. **3/4 Match #7: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Scotty Anton This gets 20 minutes. A Scotty Riggs match is the semi-main on a PPV and he gets 20 minutes. Typing that really changes my views and now I think ECW deserved to go out of business for this. This is also probably the worst RVD PPV match in ECW history. It's mostly an RVD beatdown too in between moments of Scotty's stalling. Scotty goes after the leg and RVD doesn't sell it. After all this, RVD debuts the Van Terminator to win. *3/4 A hype video airs for the main event. To counter act Francine, Tommy Dreamer comes with Jazz AND George. Before the match, the stupid XPW/ECW shoot brawl happens. Don't care, it's just XPW. Match #8: Justin Credible [c] vs. Tommy Dreamer [ECW World Heavyweight Championship - STAIRWAY TO HELL MATCH] All the women are on the floor. This proves that their Guilty as Charged 1999 match was a total miracle as they have largely the same idea with a ladder up to a weapon, and deliver a typically marginally good Justin Credible style parade of run ins and booking shortcuts to distract from his shoddy wrestling. Tommy takes some big bumps, and George attacks Jazz during this. But she then gets taken out, and Jazz takes Francine's top off. she's wearing electrical tape over her tits though, and runs away and back out with a t-shirt on. They do some nearfalls and in a hilariously backwards idea, Tommy kicks out of that's Incredible on the wire, but gets beaten by a normal one. **1/2 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN July 21st, 2000 Poughkeepsie, NY In the ring, Joey and Joel bring out Dawn Marie to be the third commentator and Joel asks if she's seen Shaft. Because if she hasn't, they can go to the back and he'll show her his. This is interrupted with a new bulletin. STEVE CORINO HAS PLACED A BOUNTY ON JERRY LYNN'S HEAD! YEAH BOUNTIES! Paul Heyman says Da Baldies are looking to collect tonight. TONIGHT: BALLS/RVD! CREDIBLE/TAJIRI FOR THE WORLD TITLE! Da Baldies come out to face Jerry Lynn and a partner of his choosing. Joey Styles says that anybody who sides with Jerry Lynn against The Network's bounty, they'll suffer retribution from The Network. So of course, Tommy Dreamer comes out to be his partner. Match #1: Jerry Lynn/Tommy Dreamer w/ Jazz vs. Angel/Tony DeVito This is WAY too long. Nobody can possibly think Da Baldies are winning, but this gets 10 minutes and becomes a really shitty arena brawl, and it's just a bad idea. Lynn beats DeVito with the Cradle Piledriver to finally ends this. *1/4 Steve Corino, Jack Victory, and Scotty Anton hit the ring and attack the three faces. Anton hits Tommy with a DDT, and Corino lays out Lynn with the Old School Expulsion. Victory just stomps on Jazz. They put Lynn and Dreamer in Stereo Sharpshooters before the show goes to commercial. In the back, Team Me cuts a promo with CW behind them with his back to the camera. Diamond says for over a year, he's had a problem and finally the solution has arrived. CW turns around and says he told them that if they want to know about tag team wrestling, they should follow an Anderson. Johnny says he's from Atlanta and CW says it doesn't matter where he's from, all that matters is what they do. Diamond says that's how you solve a problem. Match #2: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] This is depressing before the match even starts, knowing the result. And it's a total carryjob from Tajiri where everything cool or remotely interesting comes from him, and Credible is actively dragging the match down, making it not great. Tajiri unleashes all his insane kicks and does the table double stomp too. But Credible gets to kick out just to make sure we get the message that Tajiri will never be a top guy here and Justin Credible is the man. This feel like a personal insult in response to my outcries for a Tajiri push given how well he's done with everything in 2000. Credible then botches catching him off a Moonsault before picking him up and hitting That's Incredible to win. I hate this place. **3/4 ECW ANARCHY RULZ: OCTOBER 1ST! Match #3: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Balls Mahoney They again have a really good TV match, even a great one. They go back to the power vs. speed dynamic that gave them a great match before and since it's only ten or so minutes, they can't go too long like in their PPV match in 1999. Perfect scenario for them to have a great match. Balls bleeds a ton and survives one Frog Splash and a few minutes later, RVD has to break out the Van Terminator again to beat Balls. *** |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV July 23rd, 2000 Philadelphia, PA Lou E. Dangerously is with Blue Boy and Jasmin, and I do not care. They insult fat people for a while and Jazz comes out to beat up the porn slut. In the back, PCO is with Cyrus and he introduces him to Justin Credible and Francine. PCO asks where his title shot is and Cyrus says he promised him Rhino to calm down Credible. Justin says maybe he can carry his bags, and PCO gets mad about t and says he remembers when he was the one carrying bags. Credible says things are different here and he's the champion. PCO challenges him to make it a title shot and then throws Cyrus against the wall, but Credible canes him and complains about Canadians. Cyrus says Quebec isn't really part of Canada. Match #1: Kid Kash vs. EZ Money w/ Chris Hamrick Another good Kash showcase! Kas does all his stuff really well and between this and the PPV, I'm thinking Kash is starting to improve on his cripsness with his flips and dives and shit. EZ Money still isn't great and has some really awkward moments that drag this down though. Kash counters a Superbomb into a top rope Huracanrana for the win. ** Match #2: Chris Chetti/Nova vs. Angel/Tony DeVito vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York vs. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke w/ Sal E. Graziano [Elimination Match] Hey, Joey's here! Also that asshole Christian York. This isn't very good, there's too much anti-talent in here, but it could have been much worse. I say York and Matthews aren't great, but holy shit, compared to Da Baldies and Chetti/Nova, they're kind of amazing. I like young reckless Mamaluke SO much more than the bullshit shooter of post-ECW. Guido hits Matthews with the Maritato, now renamed the Kiss of Death, for the elim. Mamluke is beat with Nova's stupid Triple Piledriver series. Guido interferes and takes Chetti off the top with an Armbreaker, and Da Baldies hit a stupid Russian Leg Sweep/Neckbreaker combo to win. *1/4 Match #3: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Jean-Pierre Lafitte [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] PCO rules here, but Credible is being Credible and making sure he never has a great ECW Title match because he's the actual worst. PCO has some huge bumps and does LE CANNONBALL~ over the top to take Credible through a table and almost kills himself on the concrete. And hilariously, PCO gets to kick out of that's Incredible, as Credible continues to devalue his protected finisher in the hopes of SOME kind of fucking response. PCO puts Francine through a table, but Credible then canes him and hits it a second time to win. **1/4 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN July 28th, 2000 Peoria, IL The show cuts in with the final moments of Rhino destroying Chilly Willy to retain the TV Title. Post-match, Rhino puts a table in the corner but The Sandman runs out to save with cane shots and the White Russian Legsweep. AND SANDMAN GORES RHINO THROUGH THE TABLE WHOA! Billy Corgan comes out with an acoustic guitar and Joey Styles says he wrote a song about ECW. Oh no. Lou E. Dangerously comes out with Corino, Anton, and Victory and his title screen reads Network Music Consultant. He says on behalf of The Network, this is over. He gets in the ring and mockingly puts Billy over and says he doesn't know what he's doing here, but this is the same building that his good friend Steve Corino punked his devil worshipping associate Fred Durst in. He says his music sucks and he's going to punk him out tonight and mocks the Pumpkins' imminent break up and says he can't sold a record in America if his life depended on it. Predictably, Corgan breaks the guitar over Lou's head. The Network gets in the ring but Tommy Dreamer and Jerry Lynn run out to make the save. Dreamer gets on the mic and challenges Corino and Anton to a tag match with falls count anywhere. It's supposed to be Tajiri vs. Psicosis, but Little Guido and Sal attack Tajiri coming out. Sal splashes him against the railing, and Guido runs a chair into his head. He hits him again with the chair on the floor and says this is his match now. Match #1: Psicosis vs. Little Guido w/ Sal E. Graziano Alright for the four minutes that it lasted. It's not much because it's once again ECW trying to force Little Guido to work these kinds of fast paced spotfests when he's not at all that kind of a wrestler and it's glaringly obvious. Psicosis looks decent with the little offense he gets. Tajiri comes back out and hits a Roundhouse Kick to Guido while Sal accidentally distracts the ref. Psicosis hits the Guillotine Legdrop to win. ** In the back, Rhino cuts a promo and headbutts a door. He says he's in The Sandman's every thought, but he's destroyed him and his family. RVD says he was wrongfully stripped of this title, but one time his dad punched him in the face and said "shit happens". ROB VAN DAM, SHIT HAPPENS, YOU WANT THE TITLE. COME AND GET IT. COME AND GET IT. COME AND GET IT. Clips air of the finishes of Kash/EZ and Credible/PCO from HCTV last week. In the back, RVD and Fonzie cut a promo. Fonzie credits the Van Terminator with riots and earthquakes in California, and RVD says he took care of his business, but before he got injured, he was an undefeated champion for two years, and he wants his belt back. He gives his fans what they want, and that's RVD. The Whole Fucking Show. The Blue Boy nonsense is also re-aired. Match #2: Tommy Dreamer/Jerry Lynn vs. Steve Corino/Scotty Anton w/ Jack Victory [Falls Count Anywhere] Anything that involves Corino is fucking fantastic because he's now the best main event guy with the Tajiri demotion. On the other side, anything with Anton is pretty shitty. I thought he was gone by now, so I was lied to again. Corino bleeds a lot and Lynn gets vicious again. They do some fun spots in the ring, and Corino and Anton force a hurt Dreamer and Lynn to do the clap. There's a ref bump and then Jack Victory takes out a second referee. Corgan comes out to low blow Victory with the cowbell rope, and he then counts to three for a double pin off the DDT and Cradle Piledriver. **1/2 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV July 30th, 2000 Peoria, IL The show opens with the final minute of Tajiri vs. Mamaluke. Tajiri wins, but Little Guido runs in post-match and lays out Tajiri with the Kiss of Death. In the back, Joey Styles asks who Dawn Marie is going to be managing in the Tag Title Tournament on 8/25 in Hammerstein Ballroom. She wants to dance because Joey said ballroom, so he wanders off and she dances because she's now actually retarded, I guess. Good way to sell a cane shot to the back of the head by having it turn her into a retard, so that makes sense. Joel comes in and gets her to jump up and down. In the arena, Justin Credible and Francine come out. Joey says Kid Kash was supposed to get a title show, but CW Anderson laid him out, so Danny Doring will get his title shot instead. Also, RVD vs. Roadkill tonight! Credible gets on the mic and insults Peoria (real hard target there) to try and draw heat. They're not even that mad. Even they know Peoria sucks. Match #1: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Danny Doring [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] Doring does a good job here as a token white meat babyface. He's not super exciting but he hits all his stuff well and the crowd gets behind him, so that's all he really needs for this. Credible is useless yet again and is so fucking amateur that instead of the thigh slap for the Superkick sound, he actually claps his hands together and gets caught doing it. Holy fuck. They do stuff, and Credible wins with That's Incredible. LOOK, HE'S SUCH A FIGHTING CHAMPION. Transparent as all hell. **1/4 The Billy Corgan segment airs again. Match #2: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Roadkill FUCK YEAH THIS MATCH. This was largely an RVD showcase, but him carrying someone Roadkill's size on his shoulders for certain moves was a cool visual. Some botching though by RVD. Roadkill did his power stuff well and didn't look that out of place and against an actual ECW top guy. I would have said that about Doring, but Justin Credible is only a top guy because of his push, nobody in the crowd actually treats him like one. There's a reason his title defenses have been making HCTV and not so much TNN shows in favor of The Network getting main events on the A show. RVD wins with the Five Star Frog Splash. **1/2 In the back, Paul Heyman cuts a promo! He looks horrible with his scruffy half-beard and sunken eyes, but considering the situation at this point, fair enough. He says there's reports in the papers about ECW's war with TNN, CBS, Viacom, and MTV. And they've got it all wrong about one fact. He says he is not Philadelphia based, he's a New Yorker and he's dreamt all his life of tearing the house down in mid-town Manhattan. He's waited all his life for this weekend of shows in August and shills the shows. |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN August 4th, 2000 Houston, TX The show opens with the end of another Rhino defense. This time, he destroys Nova! YEAH KILL THAT FAGGOT. As usual, Cyrus comes out to interrupt the Joel Gertner lewd introduction and says at Heatwave, he jumped him from behind and he had him arrested. Because what he did was assault and tonight, he's got himself a wrestling license! He says his first opponent is going to be Joel Gertner tonight and says he's gonna kick his ass! BUT SPIKE DUDLEY COMES OUT! Joey and Joel leave and Cyrus asks why he's here and calls him El Retardo. Spike asks on behalf of the locker room and the fans if he would kindly SHUT THE FUCK UP. Spike says Paul Heyman has business and can't be here, but he got off the phone with him and told him to drop some acid and to be the matchmaker tonight! Spike says to forget that match and says ECW gives the fans what it deserves AND BOOKS HIM AGAINST THE SANDMAN, WHO COMES OUT! YEAH! After the break, Rhino is saving Cyrus and he fights Sandman. He goes down after a lot of cane shots, but Justin Credible comes out. He eats some shots too, but he ducks one and hits That's Incredible. Spike Dudley goes after Rhino but he flips him off his back and beats on him. PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON THROUGH A TABLE ON DUDLEY AGAIN! FUCK YEAH RHINO! Credible canes The Sandman a lot as Rhino holds him...but Chilly Willy saves. Chilly Willy somehow cleans house on the theoretical two best in the company. He gets Cyrus alone and gets the rub off of hitting Cyrus with the Falcon Arrow. Glad he got a spot to shine in his hometown! Match #1: Little Guido vs. Mikey Whipwreck The FBI and Sinister Minister are on the floor. This is alright, but not particularly impressive. Tony Mamaluke and Sal interfere all the time and they have some fun nearfalls. Tony throws a chair into Mikey's face near the ropes and Guido immediately follows with a schoolboy to win. *3/4 It's a 3 on 1 post-match, BUT TAJIRI RUNS OUT TO SAVE! HE TAKES OUT GUIDO AND TONY AND MISTS SAL! KICKS TO THE KNEES AND A BUZZSAW KICK TO THE FACE KNOCKS DOWN THAT FAT FUCK! Tajiri offers a handshake to Mikey, and he takes it. Sinister Minister poses with them, and Joey dubs it a most unholy alliance. FUCK YEAH TAJIRI GETTING TO DO COOL STUFF AGAIN. THIS WEEK ON HARDCORE TV: RVD VS. KID KASH! R.I.P. Gordon Solie. Match #3: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Steve Corino w/ Jack Victory [Three Way Dance] This was great! Tajiri kills everyone early on and they lay out the three way portion very very well. But because this is ECW in the second half of 2000, they make sure you know he's not a REAL main eventer as Lynn eliminates him with a Cradle Piledriver and then they work another 10 minutes. TASTE THE 'CISM. Corino guides Lynn through a relatively calm finishing run, which mostly just means he doesn't let Lynn do ridiculous bullshit. Lou and Anton come to interfere, and Anton hangs Lynn up on the top rope. Corino hits the Old School Expulsion to win! *** The Network beats on Lynn some more, and Tommy Dreamer runs out to save! Tommy vs. Anton starts. WHY?! Match #3: Tommy Dreamer vs. Scotty Anton w/ The Network SHITTY CROWD BRAWL. They back to ringside and Dreamer tries to drag Anton through some ladder and chair spots to make this not totally worthless. And, well, he tries. Anton is really really bad though. This at least doesn't go on for a super long time like RVD/Anton. Jazz comes out and hits Anton with a chair to break up the Sharpshooter, but she gets taken out. Jerry Lynn comes back out and he hits Anton with the Cradle Piledriver in revenge. Tommy puts a chair on Scotty's face and hits an elbow off the middle rope for the win. ** In the back, Cyrus cuts a promo and has Rhino and Justin Credible to his sides. Cyrus says this is ridiculous and The Sandman never should have come to The Network and Chilly Willy made a mistake. Cyrus books Sandman and Chilly Willy in the tag title tournament against the team of Rhino and Justin Credible! Credible is upset and says he threw the belts down. Cyrus yells to pick them back up and Credible says he doesn't want to and asks what now. Rhino gets in his face and says he's gonna make him. Cyrus and Francine hold them apart, and the actual main eventer Rhino continues the promo. SANDMAN. CHILLY WILLY. WHAT EXCITES HIM MOST IS GETTING TO KICK THE LIVING FUCK OUT OF BOTH OF THEM. AND WHEN THEY LAY IN A PUDDLE OF THEIR OWN PISS, BLOOD, SHIT, THEY'LL REMEMBER WHO THE BIG FUCKING DEAL IS. RHINO. COME AND GET HIM. |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV August 6th, 2000 Houston, TX Match #1: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Chris Chetti [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] I'm not sure if this is the worst possible World Title match in ECW, but if it's not this, then this match is #2 behind Credible/Anton. This is quite awful, as Credible is content to do his usual horrible routine, and Chetti is the worst wrestler in the entire company. Stuff happens, and nothing in this looks good at all. Credible wins with That's Incredible. This is probably worth a point, but I'm kind of upset this match even happened in the first place. 3/4* Match #2: Team Me vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York York and Matthews are worlds better here than they were in early ROH and TNA, a lot like Team Me. THEY DO STEREO TOPE SUICIDAS. SOLD. NEW FAVORITE TEAM! This is over fairly quickly despite all the cool stuff, as CW Anderson runs in. He catches one of the faces with the Spinebuster and the other with the left hand, and the one that got punched is beaten with the Problem Solver. ** In the back, The Unholy Alliance is standing by. The Sinister Minister says if stupidity was painful, the FBI would be wallowing in agony now and some shadow is waving back and forth. He says they wouldn't have dreamed otherwise of triple teaming his close personal friend Mikey. He says wrestling makes for strange bedfellows and there's a cultural difference and language barrier. But Tajiri speaks the international language of pain. Tajiri spits green mist at the wall, and Mikey spits red. Match #3: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. EZ Money/Julio Dinero w/ Chris Hamrick Good showcase for Doring and Roadkill. Money and Dinero aren't exactly amazing, but they don't screw a lot up and are there for Doring and Roadkill to run through their cool offense against and they do a fine job of that. Julio gets beat with the Buggy Bang. *3/4 Da Baldies attack post-match and they put Roadkill through two chairs with a Double Spinebuster. Match #4: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Kid Kash This was great, and RVD goes out of his way to try and make Kash into a star. Kash isn't ready QUITE yet, but he's not totally out of place with this kind of thing. RVD plays the veteran card well here, and he's the one who has to go out for a breather. Kash is also the one who does a huge springboard dive into the crowd and it's very clearly meant to position Kash as the actual new RVD. There was some botching, naturally, but I loved the story of it and liked enough of what they did. RVD wins with the Five Star Frog Splash as usual. *** |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN August 11th, 2000 Huntington, WV Lou E. Dangerously is in the ring to open the show AND THE FANS FUCKING PELT HIM WITH GARBAGE AND I LOVE IT. He says this is The Danger Zone, and he brings out Steve Corino as his guest. Corino has Anton with him, doing the clap. Lou says they should feel lucky to be on his show and talks about the tag tournament and says The Network feels they are well represented with Rhino. CORINO GRABS THE MIC AND SAYS HE DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT THE NETWORK FEELS! He says Cyrus made it clear that Rhino and Justin Credible will represent The Network, but that spot was theirs. They've helped keeps those titles around BOTH of their waists and they've protected their asses since DAY ONE. Justin Credible comes out and says he doesn't care what he says about anyone else or what he says, but when he mentions his name he has a real big problem. BITCH. Credible says HE'S the champion. And the champion isn't just the coolest, he isn't just the best, the World Champion -- AND CORINO GRABS THE MIC AND SAYS THE WORLD CHAMPION HAS THE LAMEST FUCKING CATCHPHRASE IN WRESTLING. Rhino comes out says they've got a fight, AND RHINO ATTACKS ANTON WHILE CORINO PUNCHES CREDIBLE! YEAH! RHINO AND CORINO FIGHT TOO AND IT ALL GETS PULLED APART. In the parking lot, Corino, Anton, and Victory are leaving. Lou tries to reason with them and asks what he should tell Cyrus, but they drive off. In the back, Joey says they've said goodbye to The Network, just like thousands of people do every week when this show goes off the air. In the back, Justin Credible calls Kid Kash RVD's butt buddy for no real reason, and they get into a fight. They yell and get pulled apart and it's a title match now, I guess. Match #1: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Tom Marquez/Bilvis Wesley w/ Elektra Wesley is Bill Wiles under a new name. He is worse than ever, and the jobbers get in way too much offense instead of this logically being a sub-three minute squash. Marquez finally goes down to the Buggy Bang, and Joey hypes up Doring/Roadkill vs. Da Baldies in the tournament. * In the back, The Unholy Alliance is standing by and Mikey has a sombrero on. Minister says today's sermon is about temptation regarding pleasures of the flesh. He's found that the best course is to just give in, and that's what they're going to teach young Yoshihiro Tajiri. He sends Mikey off to get the subject and he brings back Elektra. Tajiri is in love and says ME LOVE HER LONG TIME because racism. She slaps him, so he mists her and it's censored because TNN. Minister says he's heard of spraying a girl in the face, but that's a horse of a different color. Clips air from last week in Houston off TV. CW Anderson attacked Jazz after a match, but Tommy Dreamer ran out and he drove CW Anderson out of the ring. NEXT WEEK: DREAMER VS. CW! Match #2: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. EZ Money w/ Chris Hamrick & Julio Dinero The yet to be named Hot Commodity uses a lot of tag moves behind the ref's back, and Tajiri lets EZ do his thing before it's time to murder the boy. They debut SAT's future Washing Machine move, and Tajiri suddenly counters a Powerbomb into a Spinning DDT to win. ** It's three on one post-match but Tajiri ends up destroying them all anyways. The FBI comes out though, and Guido hits him with the Kiss of Death. MIKEY COMES OUT WITH A BAT ON FIRE AND EVERYONE RUNS AWAY. THE MAT IS A LITTLE BIT ON FIRE HOLY SHIT. Match #3: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Kid Kash [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] Kash makes this good, and is already better and more over than Credible. Gertner announces Kash/RVD vs. Credible/Rhino in the ECW Arena. Awesome! Kash gets a lot of huge offense off and the fans are into it. Credible still does mid-match mic work laden with cheap cursing out of habit probably. Kash does more stuff and gets close, BUT RHINO RUNS OUT AND KILLS HIM WITH A GORE TO END THE MATCH BOOOO **1/2 It's a 2 on 1, but Rob Van Dam runs out to save! |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV August 13th, 2000 Huntington, WV The show opens with Corino murdering Credible on the mic. In the back, Steve Corino cuts a promo with Victory behind him. He says he's done everything asked of him by The Network. At Hardcore Heaven, he almost bled to death. At Heatwave, it was duplicated. What'd it get him? Nothing, because he was just the guy to take a shot for Rhino and now he was just supposed to be the guy to take the shot for Justin Credible. Justin's great but as a World Champion, he SUCKS. And in Philadelphia, HIS HOMETOWN, he wants Justin Credible and at the ECW Arena, he's gonna have to confront him and he's not gonna like what he has to say and what he'll do. Match #1: The Sandman/Chilly Willy vs. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke w/ Sal E. Graziano What a weird team. This isn't very good because Sandman does not give even a little bit of a shit about this match and Chilly Willy is horrible. They get a double pin with the White Russian Legsweep and the Falcon Arrow. THEY DO THE DEAL. *1/2 In the back, the Unholy Alliance cuts a promo. Minister says back in the old days, New York used to be a pleasure land. Gambling and prostitution and street hustlers and sexual perversion and then a serpent came into his personal Garden of Eden named Rudy Guliani. He came to clean it up like it's the second coming but the only second coming in the Guliani household is after Rudy goes to sleep and his wife rolls over and pulls out that special vibrator. Mikey explains to Tajiri what that is. Minister says he's going to return NYC to its former glory and he happens to plan on that at the Hammerstein Ballroom when these two become the next ECW World Tag Team Champions and he hopes they get the opportunity to get their hands on the FBI. Tajiri yells in Japanese and Mikey says that's his favorite joke. Minister yells BINGO. Beyond all logic, this is my favorite thing. The Credible/Kash thing airs again. Match #2: Rhino [c] vs. Mikey Whipwreck w/ Sinister Minister [ECW Television Championship] Your usual Rhino showcase from around this time. He looks like a killer and Mikey gets in a few things based on roll ups and weapon use, but Rhino catches him and Gores him through a corner table for the win. **1/4 RVD vs. Balls from TNN a few episodes back airs. |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN August 18th, 2000 Ft. Lauderdale, FL Footage airs from HCTV this week with CW and Team Me beating on Dreamer after the match, but Doring and Roadkill run out for the save. They manage to lay them out too and pose. TONIGHT: CREDIBLE/KASH AND RHINO/RVD FOR THE BELTS In the back, RVD cuts a promo. He says he's been waiting a long time to get his hands on Rhino, and here they are back in Florida. It was here when he wrestled him last and suffered that broken ankle. Wait hey, are we ignoring that match in June? RVD says Rhino doesn't get to brag anymore about holding HIS belt. Everybody knows that Rob Van Dam isn't just a Big Fucking Deal, he's the Whole Fucking Show. It's time for The Danger Zone, and Lou brings Cyrus as his guest. He says last week, Steve Corino came out here on his network and started complaining about him making an executive decision but he made a very big mistake by crossing this network and he of all people should know that nobody and he means NOBODY crosses The Network. Steve Corino and Anton come out and Corino does Cyrus' EXCUSE ME shtick. Cyrus says he's a big fan of both of them and he just wants to talk. He says he's always liked Steve and asks who the hell Steve Corino was before Cyrus took him under his wing and led him to be the number one heel in this company and let him bask in the starlight of his celebrity. He was an opening match comedy routine who was a mark for the top guys and he elevated him to the top. And somewhere along the line, he got over with these people and got respect for bleeding buckets but he has to tell him something Paul Heyman won't, and that's that he can't make the cut. Corino says the one thing people don't respect is him and if it's alright with everyone here and on this fucking Network, he's going to kick his ass now. He sticks his chin out and dares him to do it for the boys, and Corino says this is for him, BUT ANTON KICKS HIS KNEES OUT. YES. NOW CORINO DOESN'T HAVE TO CARRY ANTON EITHER! He puts on the shitty Sharpshooter to go to commercial. Match #1: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke/Sal E. Graziano vs. The Unholy Alliance/Psicosis w/ Sinister Minister This is fun for 4-5 minutes. Tajiri chopping a big fat guy down to size with his insane kicks is always going to be the most entertaining thing to me. Not a ton happens here until the end, where Tajiri accidentally mists Psicosis when Guido ducks under it. A few minutes later, Psicosis kicks Tajiri and it's not sure if it's revenge or if he's still blinded. Guido then hits the Kiss of Death for the win. ** Match #2: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Kid Kash [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] Kid Kash gets another good one out of him. His dive is fantastic and he hits all his high flying stuff super clean. I could say that Credible slowed it down to emphasize Kash's speed and highspots, but it was Credible doing all his usual lazy and boring spots. Kash added some actual struggle to Credible's lazy chinlock so it actually looked like a real hold and not just Credible grabbing something and laying down for a minute. There's a bad ref bump and Rhino comes out to interfere. RVD comes to stop him, but Rhino gets a break and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORES Kash. RVD takes him back out and they get separated, but then the Gore ends up meaning nothing because ECW. Francine canes Kash on the top and Justin hits the super That's Incredible to win. Kid Kash is a miracle worker in summer 2000 apparently. **3/4 Match #3: Rhino [c] vs. Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso [ECW Television Championship] This is another held-back match between them, unfortunately. They do a crowd brawl for half the match, which makes zero sense from a stylistic perspective as RVD is kind of a horrible brawler and Rhino isn't amazing enough to carry him. They get back to the ring and RVD basically just does a lot of offense before Justin Credible comes out to attack him for the DQ. ** Kid Kash comes out in a neck brace to try and save, but gets beat up too, and Rhino hits him with a Piledriver. The Sandman runs out to cane Rhino some more and gets Credible too before hitting Credible with the White Russian Legsweep to end the show. |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW Hardcore TV August 20th, 2000 Ft. Lauderdale, FL In the back, Joey Styles announces Justin Credible vs. Steve Corino for the ECW Title for 8/26. In the office, Cyrus is standing by. He says he's looking at the booking and he realized that The Network is in Manhattan. They love Manhattan because it's the site of the tag team tournament and that's the night when The Network's team of Rhino and Justin Credible wins and brings the Tag Team Titles to The Network. And they'll show the world that nobody stands up to The Network. Match #1: Chris Chetti/Nova vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York vs. EZ Money/Julio Dinero w/ Chris Hamrick [Three Way dance] This is decent enough. It says a lot about Chetti and Nova that fucking EZ Money and Julio Dinero can come in and be better than them. The yet to be named Hot Commodity and York/Matthews have some good stuff together and like 75% of it is hit cleanly. York and Matthews have some great dives and are clearly a low rent Hardy Boyz, but the Hardy Boyz are a GOAT level team so that's not a huge insult. They get eliminated after York is beat with the Faggot Splash, so the final part of this isn't as good. Hamrick pushes Chetti and Nova off the top, AND EZ MONEY DESTROYS NOVA WITH A SLINGSHOT CLOTHESLINE FOR THE UPSET! YAY! ** In the back, Joey Styles says that Lou E. Dangerously has challenged Billy Corgan to come back to ECW this weekend. Coming back, Hot Commodity is still beating on Chetti and Nova and Jerry Lynn comes to save. A bell rings. Match #2: Jerry Lynn vs. Chris Hamrick This is decent enough for a Lynn showcase. Hamrick is a fantastic stooge and all his basic offense looked great. Lynn wins with the Cradle Fuckledriver. *3/4 In the back, Paul shills the tag tournament and says the finals will be a three way dance. In the back, CW Anderson says Tommy Dreamer calls himself the innovator, but The Andersons originated violence. Diamond says at the ECW arena, they're going to show the world how DIAMOND, JOHNNY, AND AN ANDERSON SOLVE A PROBLEM. The Danger Zone from TNN airs with Corino's face turn and then the one from this past week. Match #3: Tommy Dreamer vs. CW Anderson Jazz and Team Me are on the floor, but the referee ejects them in a first for ECW. This is House Show Tommy all the way for the 5 minutes this went, as he did a festival of Anderson cheating spots before CW took over. He had some arm work, and Tommy showed absolutely no interest in selling any of that. Team Me came back out to interfere, AND CW HIT THE SPINEBUSTER FOR THE HUGE UPSET! YEAH! FUCK YOU, THOMAS. *3/4 Doring and Roadkill and Jazz come out to save, but they also get laid out to end the show. Horse Trio poses to end the show. |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN August 25th, 2000 Philadelphia, PA TONIGHT: RVD/KASH VS. CREDIBLE/RHINO In the ring, Joey and Joel do their introduction but they get cut off by Rhino and Credible cutting a promo in the back. Rhino yells stuff and he randomly challenges Justin Credible to a title match after Credible is mad at him for roughing up Francine with two black eyes when he lent her out. Credible tells him to break RVD's neck tonight if he wants it. Rhino yells that he's gonna rip their necks off and piss down their throats and then grabs Credible by the throat and says he loves him, man. He storms off and Francine tries to do the catchphrase, but Credible shoves her and says to shut up before he leaves. As Jerry Lynn comes out, Joey announces that at Anarchy Rulz, he's going to get a World Title shot because it's in St. Paul, MN. Lynn is supposed to wrestle Wiles, but referee Danny Daniels gets the mic. He goes over Jerry Lynn injuring him every time he's reffed his match and says that bounty is still on his head and Jerry punches him, BUT RHINO HITS THE RING AND GORES LYNN! YEAH! The jobbers help him out a table in the corner and Rhino runs Lynn through it! He leaves and Daniels rings the bell! Match #1: Jerry Lynn vs. Bilvis Wesley w/ The Prodigy & Prodigette Jerry no sells the assault almost immediately. He hits Prodify and Bilvis with Cradle Piledrivers, but the ref DQs him for the punch. 1/4* Post-match, The Prodigette saves Danny Daniels from the Cradle Piledriver, but then gets one herself. Lynn says Justin Credible may have put the bounty on his head, but the belt is gonna be his. Wait, no. Steve Corino put the bounty out, you can't just change that halfway through. LOLECW. THIS WEEK ON HCTV: DAT TAJIRI/PSICOSIS MATCH! They show like 6-7 minutes of highlights, weird. In the back, Sinister Minster's voice is heard, but this is seen: ![]() AMAZING. Minister says these days, every two bit politician in a three dollar suit is on TV but he's here to promise them this. Read his lips, there's a fine line dividing genius from insanity, and he's just crossed that line. Mikey Whipwreck then comes over and does a Chris Farley as Matt Foley, Motivational Speaker deal before walking off cackling. They also show highlights of Dreamer/Doring/Roadkill vs. Horse Trio from HCTV this coming episode, which is weird. Did they not have enough good footage for a TNN episode? Match #2: Rob Van Dam/Kid Kash vs. Justin Credible/Rhino Fonzie and Francine are both there. This is 10 minutes, so they get some time to make this a real thing and it ruled. Kash and RVD have teamwork that keeps them alive mostly and there's some great stuff with Rhino vs. RVD and Kash carrying Credible. They almost killed Credible when RVD and Kash tried a Doomsday Rana, as RVD was too far out with him and Kash sort of just got a bodyscissors forcing him to faceplant. RVD hits Credible with the Frog Splash, BUT RHINO FUCKING GORES THE REF FUCK YEAH! PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON TO KID KASH THROUGH A TABLE! The Sandman comes out to cane him, and then Credible takes him out with a cane shot. Steve Corino comes out and gets rid of Credible, AND CORINO SUPERKICKS RHINO INTO THE CORNER! VAN TERMINATOR, AND ANOTHER REF COMES OUT TO COUNT THREE! YEAH! *** |

He says he cheated to pin New Jack, and he doesn't apologize for that. He cheated in the ECW Arena to score a pinfall victory over Dusty Rhodes, and he doesn't apologize for that. He cheated to defeat Yoshihiro Tajiri, and he doesn't apologize for that. And he cheated to score a pinfall victory over The Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer, and he doesn't apologize for that. So tonight, by hook, crook, or clap, he's taking Scotty Anton out too. In the back, Scotty Anton says if he doesn't put his hold on Corino tonight and fails to give him The Clap, he'll quit. Match #1: Tommy Dreamer/Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. CW Anderson/Team Me This gets a fair amount of time, but it's Team Me trying to work an ACTUAL match and not just being there for awesome highspots, so they get exposed somewhat. CW also seemed a little off, doing more genetic clubbing than cool stuff he'd been doing until August. Dreamer continues to not really care in a lower card match like this, so it's all on Doring and Roadkill to try. It breaks down into kind of a shitty crowd brawl, unfortunately. It goes back in for the big finishing run, and Diamond gets beat with the Buggy Bang. ** In the back, Justin Credible and Rhino argue again. Credible says the ECW Champion is just incredible, so Rhino yells BIG FUCKING DEAL. Match #2: Steve Corino vs. Scotty Anton w/ Cyrus Corino does what he can and all his old school babyface stylings are fantastic. Anton is mostly useless, but this was only 5 or so minutes. Cyrus gets in to break up the pin after the Old School Expulsion, but Jack Victory comes out and punches Cyrus! HUGE POP! Anton puts him in his hold like promised, so I guess he's still here. Corino saves with the Old School Kick though and gets the pin! ** Footage airs of a Jasmin St. Claire/Elektra catfight that they use to plug the website. Match #3: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Psicosis YEAH! It's the same kind of a spotfest as Tajiri/Crazy, but with different highspots on the other end and a different dive. That's not to insult this at all, but I've seen it a million times. There's a lot of awesome Tajiri stuff and Psicosis hangs in there with him very well, which is somewhat impressive. Tajiri destroys his face with kicks at the end and hits two Buzzsaw Kicks and a Running Basement Dropkick for the win. *** |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: Vacant ECW on TNN September 1st, 2000 Manhattan, NY I have the entire fancam of this show, but everything makes it to air besides a Baldies tag, so there's not much point. The show opens with the closing moments of The Unholy Alliance beating EZ Money and Julio Dinero in the semi-finals. This ends up being aired in full on a later episode this month anyways. The actual airing of the matches is fucked up and out of order because ECW is weird. In the ring, Joey and Gertner do their intro and they bring out #1 Contender Steve Corino. He comes out with Billy Corgan playing his theme song (sort of) at his side. Corino says without kissing anybody's ass here, THANK GOD HE CAN PERFORM IN NEW YORK CITY! He repeats his lines about cheating from Hardcore TV, and as the camera is close, Corino's scar tissue is already a little much. He says he's never going to apologize when he gets a pinfall victory over Justin Credible either because everybody here in NYC knows that the next ECW Champion is -- he gets cut off by Lou E. Dangerously and he somehow says Justin Credible is the next ECW Champion, which is not possible. He tells Joey and Joel to get out and challenges them to fight. Corino gets caught looking behind him for the run in, and Justin Credible canes him from behind. Corgan gets the cane and chokes Credible with it because fuck him, but Lou breaks the phone and Corgan does a HORRIBLE sell. I mean, he's not a wrestler so I shouldn't be too rough, but it was pretty funny. Credible says that's a message from The Network. Match #1: The Sandman/Chilly Willy vs. Justin Credible/Rhino w/ Francine [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Quarterfinals] Chilly Willy immediately runs into the Gore and then eats a Piledriver. Within a minute, a table is in the corner, and Sandman gets run through it across the ring by Rhino. He pulls him up and hits a Piledriver onto a piece of the table to win. Good squash, but not much more. *1/4 Match #2: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Team Me w/ CW Anderson [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Semi-Finals] This is only five minutes, but that might be for the best. Doring and Roadkill do all their awesome stuff. Roadkill gets pushed off the top through the timekeeper's table, and Johnny distracts the ref so CW can interfere. Doring fights him off, but then Diamond gets a low blow. CW fills in and CW and Diamond hit the Problem Solver! CW rolls out and Johnny takes the cover for the win. ** At "ECW New York", Balls Mahoney is serving drinks over an on-fire bar. Match #3: Tommy Dreamer/Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible/Rhino w/ Francine [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Semi-Finals] Decent enough deal. They waste far too much time doing a crowd brawl, and Lynn and Credible are horrible at that. The Rhino/Tommy parts of it are fun. Lynn and Credible go back in the ring for the same quality match they've been having for three years now. Good, not great, and not worthy of a main event level spotlight. Rhino mows down Tommy with the Gore, AND HITS THE PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON THROUGH A TABLE! SPIKE DUDLEY RUNS OUT THOUGH AND CANES RHINO. ACID DROP. Credible then hits him with That's Incredible, but Lynn hits Credible with the Cradle Piledriver for the win. **1/4 Dreamer is hurt post-match. Match #4: Tommy Dreamer/Jerry Lynn vs. The Unholy Alliance vs. Team Me [Vacant ECW World Tag Team Championship - Three Way Dance] Tommy comes out in a neck brace, and of course, Sinister Minister and CW Anderson are on the floor for their teams. This is alright. Team Me really weighs it down in a main event setting, but it turns into a fun chaotic brawl everywhere. CW Anderson hits Tommy in the back of the neck from the floor, AND TEAM ME ELIMINATES TOMMY WITH A SNAPSHOT WHOA. It's over about a minute later. They try a Doomsday Device on Tajiri, but he mists Diamond on the top. He gets down and takes care of Johnny as the locker room comes out to watch. SUPER WHIPPERSNAPPER FROM MIKEY FOR THE WIN! YEAH! **1/4 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: The Unholy Alliance, Since 8/25/2000 ECW Hardcore TV September 3rd, 2000 Manhattan, NY In the ring, Joey is doing his introduction, but Cyrus comes out. He says he's Network, he's TNN, and Joey says TNN is the worst fucking network ever. Cyrus says NYC is a distant second to Canada and he's sick of these people and Joey Styles and he shoves him on his ass! Joey then chases Cyrus off to the back. The opening video music is "New York, New York" this week. Match #1: Joey Matthews/Christian York vs. EZ Money/Julio Dinero w/ Chris Hamrick & Elektra [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Quarterfinals] This is only 4 minutes, so it's not blowing the roof off or anything, but Matthews and York continue to impress me. Joey Matthews is now nicknamed "The Future", so he has to fight Chris Sabin and Frankie Kazarian at some point. They have great dives and spots, so naturally this being ECW, they lose to EZ and Dinero after cheating. *3/4 Match #2: Chris Chetti/Nova vs. Team Me w/ CW Anderson [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Quarterfinals] Also only 4 minutes, but this time it's for the best. Chetti and Nova are still the worst. Team Me manages to get to that Sidewalk Slam/Reverse DDT thing before I remember E&C using it later in the year, so that's something. I mean, E&C did it better, but whatever. Chetti accidentally kicks Nova and then loses to the Problem Solver. *1/2 At ECW New York, Da Baldies threaten special bouncer MATTY IN DA HOUSE to let them in. He does. #BadMatty. They try to fight, but RED DOGG AKA RODNEY MACK AKA THE DUDE WHO TRIED TO KILL AL SNOW kicks them out. Oh no. Match #3: The Unholy Alliance vs. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [ECW Tag Team Title Tournament - Quarterfinals] Both managers are there. Joey says Mamaluke still needs to win a match to be in the FBI. This rules for the time it gets, despite Tony trying to ruin it with some of the worst overselling ever. Guido looks better than he has in a year and a half because he's a natural tag wrestler. Once they get going, it's a total fireworks show and is wonderful. Tony gets hit with a Super Whippersnapper and Tajiri follows with the running Basement Dropkick to end it. *** Match #4: Tommy Dreamer/Jerry Lynn vs. Rob Van Dam/Kid Kash w/ Bill Alfonso [ECW Tag Team Title Tournament - Quarterfinals] Good face/face deal, but not great. RVD and Lynn had a super SUPER choreographed opening run that was an embarrassing step down from their 1999 work. Every other pairing had good points though, and Kid Kash AGAIN steps up in a huge way. He's a great striker, has a certain charisma, and hits 90% of his high spots clean. Which in ECW 2000 is enough to make him a main event or upper card mainstay. They get to a cool run of dives and then it breaks down. Credible runs out to cane RVD on the top rope, and Rhino hits him with the Gore. Tommy hits DAT PILEDRIVER on RVD but then fights Rhino and Credible. Lynn follows with a Cradle Piledriver on RVD to win. **1/2 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 ECW Television Champion: Rhino, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW World Tag Team Champions: The Unholy Alliance, Since 8/25/2000 ECW on TNN September 8th, 2000 Manhattan, NY In the ring, Joey and Joel do their introduction but Cyrus comes out. AND HE ANNOUNCES THAT THIS SHOW IS CANCELED! NO MORE ECW ON THIS NETWORK! The fans chant "USA!" and Cyrus says they should have stayed in Philly instead of coming to this god forsaken hole. He asks if they want to fight The Network and Joel's wanted to make a move a long time. But he doesn't have the guts, because everyone bends over for The Network and nobody from New York has the guts to stand up to this Network. PAUL HEYMAN COMES OUT AND BREAKS THE OLD PHONE OVER CYRUS' HEAD! FUCK YEAH! BUT RHINO HITS THE RING AND GRABS PAUL. CYRUS AND EVIL REF DANNY DANIELS PUT A TABLE UP AND RHINO RUNS PAUL E. THROUGH THE TABLE HOLY SHIT! Cyrus says that's what happens to a New York piece of crap and he's gutless. Everyone can kiss his ass and calls out fans, one of whom tries to get in and gets taken out by cops. RHINO GORES A COP. The locker room comes out to pull it all apart, and that was amazing. AND IT BREAKS OUT INTO A FULL SCALE LOCKER ROOM BRAWL IN THE RING! KID KASH COMES OUT FOR HIS TITLE MATCH! Match #1: Rhino [c] vs. Kid Kash [ECW Television Championship] KASH BODY SURFS HIS WAY TO RHINO IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! The brawl moves to the floor and the Sandman comes out. SANDMAN GETS GORED THOUGH! IT GOES TO THE FLOOR, AND KID KASH HITS A FLIP DIVE ONTO THE ROSTER! IT moves back inside, BUT RHINO KILLS HIM WITH A GORE. RVD COMES OUT AND HITS THE VAN DAMINATOR AND THEN VAN TERMINATOR! RVD AND KASH HIT AN EVENT OMEGA WITH A FROG SPLASH THROWN IN! A REF COMES OUT AND COUNTS TO THREE HOLY SHIT! Not much of a match, but an incredible angle. ** In the city, The Unholy Alliance is in Times Square. Sinister Minister says people say he hasn't slept since 1972 and people ask what he does with that time on his hands and the truth is he spends that time thinking evil thoughts. The kind that causes a great deal of discomfort to the FBI. He's not nearly as sick and twisted as the new World Tag Team Champions however and Tajiri yells in Spanish now. Mikey is confused, and Minister says a true devil speaks many tongues. TONIGHT: UNHOLY ALLIANCE VS. THE FBI, AND IF THE FBI DON'T WIN THE BELTS, THEY SPLIT! Oh ![]() Match #2: Balls Mahoney vs. The Blue Boy w/ Jasmine St. Clair Not sure why Blue Boy is getting actual offense, because he's still horrible. This gets like five minutes before Balls wins with a chair shot. 3/4* Post-match, St. Clair eats the Nutcracker Suite. At ECW New York, Red Dogg kicks someone out. Match #3: The Unholy Alliance [c] vs. Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [ECW World Tag Team Championship - Titles vs. Tag Career] Minister and Sal are on the floor. Tajiri and Mikey again put on an incredible fireworks display. Tajiri breaks out the table dropkick deal again, and it reaches that next level of a Tajiri-led violent spotfest. FBI has some nice control work and Tony is less stupid here. Tajiri has a killer hot tag, AND INVENTS THE JOHN WOO DROPKICK PRETTY MUCH! AWESOME! He puts Tony on the top rope, AND MIKEY HITS A WHIPPERSNAPPER THROUGH A TABLE ON THE FLOOR! Tajiri mists Big Sal when he gets in, but he still kicks Tajiri and Guido hits a chair to the back and the Last Kiss on the chair to win the titles. ![]() ***1/2 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW Television Champion: Kid Kash, Since 8/26/2000 ECW World Tag Team Champions: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke, Since 8/26/2000 ECW Hardcore TV September 10th, 2000 Manhattan, NY At Times Square, The Unholy Alliance cuts another promo. Sinister Minister says instead of turning the other cheek, when thine neighbor smacks you on the left, you turn and smack him on the right. And their cheeks are stinging right now and the FBI for three seconds of their miserable wretched lives pulled off the impossible. They stole the ECW World Tag Team Titles from Mikey and Tajiri. He has old fashioned ideas about honor, FBI. As his dear old friend Hammurabi once said. An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth. Their lives for the ECW Tag Team Titles. Tajiri then says this promo is over. We go to the final minute of Jerry Lynn vs. CW Anderson. Evil referee Danny Daniels takes out HC Loc and takes over. Lynn goes after him, but CW saves, and he hits the Anderson Spinebuster to pin the #1 Contender. Doring and Roadkill come out to save and an impromptu tag breaks out. Chetti and Nova come out to ruin it! ECW! Match #1: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Chris Chetti/Nova vs. Team Me w/ CW Anderson [Three Way Dance] This is at least short at 4 minutes. WAY too much Chetti and Nova though as they last 3 minutes of the 4. BUT CHETTI TURNS ON NOVA WITH A CHAIR SHOT. YES! TAG DIVISION JUST IMPROVED A TON! Nova covers to eliminate them. Johnny then gets beat with the Buggy Bang. *3/4 At ECW New York, Elektra dances on the bar and throws off all the guys who try to dance with her. The amazing opening segment from TNN and subsequent TV Title switch airs. Bilvis Wesley has an open challenge and Balls Mahoney and kills everyone with chair shots. They hype up Jerry Lynn's title challenge at Anarchy Rulz HARD, with Joey talking about it in the back for a while twice in between showing the finish of Lynn/Tommy vs. Credible/Rhino. Match #2: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Scotty Anton According to my results list, which is pretty in depth, this is Anton's last ECW match on tape. This is only 15 minutes now, but it's still WAY WAY WAY too long and RVD tries to fit fucking Scotty Riggs into his typical spotfest format when Anton simply can't go at this speed or level. Lots of shitty blown stuff and RVD hits the Five Star Frog Splash to win. GOOD RIDDANCE ASSHOLE. *3/4 |

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Justin Credible, Since 4/22/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPION ECW Television Champion: Kid Kash, Since 8/26/2000 ECW World Tag Team Champions: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke, Since 8/26/2000 ECW on TNN September 15th, 2000 Manhattan, NY TONIGHT: CREDIBLE/CORINO FOR THE ECW TITLE! Match #1: The Unholy Alliance vs. EZ Money/Julio Dinero [ECW Tag Title Tournament - Semi-Finals] This is the in-full airing of it. Minister and Hamrick & Elektra are on the floor for their teams. This is basically a showcase for the Tajiri/Mikey team, but there's some quality stuff on the Hot Commodity end too. They're hardly amazing and pretty much lack any sort of presence or charisma, so all they have is solid teamwork and cool moves, but it's ECW 2000. I have a low bar, and it's not like they're winning a lot. Tajiri and Mikey win with a Double Brainbuster. **1/4 The finishing moments of the FBI's title win from last week air. They then show the Unholy Alliance from HCTV. Justin Credible and Steve Corino come out for the main event, and Francine has a piece of paper in her hand. She gets on the mic and says Steve Corino is way too big for her to screw with, which is a first, and says no power on this Earth will stop her from managing the ECW Champion. So thanks to her friends at The Network, JACK VICTORY IS BANNED FROM RINGSIDE! NO! Jack leaves and Francine says Steve's boyfriend is gone and asks if he's gonna cry. Corino fake cries like old times and says Jack is his boy and they're SO SO smart. He doesn't know how he'll compete with Justin and the Queen of Dicks AND THEY JUST FELL INTO HIS TRAP. IF JUSTIN DIDN'T SPEND SO MUCH TIME HANGING OUT WITH THIS WHORE, HE WOULD REALIZE THAT HE WILL NEVER OUT-HEEL THE KING OF OLD SCHOOL! AND CORINO BRINGS OUT DAWN MARIE AS HIS MANAGER! FUCK YEAH! Match #2: Justin Credible [c] vs. Steve Corino [ECW World Heavyweight Championship] The women are there. Corino puts on an awesome performance and while it's not his best all year (more on that), he turns himself into THE top non-icon level babyface in the company perhaps. Unfortunately, he can't get something great out of Credible and it merely winds up being the best possible Justin Credible Match. He takes pussy ass table bumps that don't look harmful at all, stupid interference spots that end up being more lame than effective, etc. Lou gets in to break the phone on Corino and then Billy Corgan comes out to get revenge with a guitar shot. BAH GAWD. More bullshit, and Credible wins somewhat clean with That's Incredible on some chairs. And the very life force comes spilling out of the crowd. You had a hot babyface, a hot NEW babyface (which hadn't happened since like fucking Taz turned face in 1997 or RVD in 1998. Arguably Tajiri in the spring of 2000 but they made sure to cut that off quick), and they sacrifice him at what would be an amazing payoff to desperately try once more to put SOME kind of lasting heat on this fucking black hole of crowd reaction. **3/4 Fuck this company.

It's under 4 minutes, which is SO upsetting. Raven does a few things but they mostly just kill time until Cyrus distracts Raven. He turns around into the Gore, and Rhino pins him to win. God DAMN, this was a huge disappointment. Rare that an ECW version of a match is fucking horrible compared to a WWF version later on.
