September 17th, 2000
Buffalo, NY


The show opens with Kid Kash hitting Psicosis with the Moneymaker to retain the TV Title. Rhino runs out and lays him out with the Gore and then the GOD DAMNED PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON THROUGH A TABLE - NO! RVD SAVES KASH! Joey announces Rhino vs. RVD for Anarchy Rulz! PPV BUILD! Shame it took ECW until they were dying to figure out how to do that right. RVD hip tosses RVD off the apron and through the table. RVD does some more chair offense and shit and Rhino bails. RVD hits a dive and they fight to the back.

BREAKING NEWS: Tommy Dreamer was injured last night in Cleveland

In the ring, Joey Styles is with The Prodigette. She complains about only being T&A and says she's the most beautiful woman and toughest woman and it's all hilarious. Dawn Marie comes out to tackle her, but then Bilvis Wesley and The Prodigy hit the ring. They corner her, but Steve Corino comes out to save and a match breaks out.

Match #1: Steve Corino vs. Bilvis Wesley
This is all of a minute, and Corino wins with the Old School Expulsion.
*

A recap of Corino/Credible airs. Credible/Lynn is now set for Anarchy Rulz.

ANOTHER UPDATE ON NOMMY. Or more so just Paul repeating that Tommy suffered an injury and plugs the website to get more info.

Coming back, Jazz is beating up The Musketeer and pins him. Okay then. Chris Chetti comes out and he lays her out with a chair shot. He gets on the mic and says everybody wants to know why, but he says he should be a champion by now. The only reason he's not a champion is because of Nova, and he calls him out so he can embarrass him like he got embarrassed by teaming with him. Nova hits the ring and they have a HORRIBLE pull apart brawl.

Match #2: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York
This is a really entertaining 5-6 minute face/face deal. The whole stand-off deal is stupid and tired, but it was something like fresh in 2000. York and Matthews have good dives and decent stuff, but they go down fairly easily and the Buggy Bang on Matthews gets the win for Doring and Roadkill.
**1/4

Post-match, the FBI comes out and they beat them down.

It's supposed to be Rhino/Credible vs. Dreamer/Lynn, but Spike Dudley comes out instead of Dreamer. He says he's been appointed commissioner for the night and Tommy can't be here, so he's here to introduce a replacement. Rhino ends up Goring him instead, and The Sandman just comes out.

Match #3: The Sandman/Jerry Lynn vs. Justin Credible/Rhino w/ Francine
This is what it is. Sandman vs. Rhino is always going to be fun for me and they do guardrail spots in the ring. On the other end though, Lynn vs. Credible is the most tired fucking shit ECW has to offer at this point. It was average in 1997, and that was fine because they were near the bottom of the card, but they've moved up now to the main event and it's actually gotten more boring since 1998 when their series peaked. Rhino ends up Goring referee HC Loc, and Danny Daniels comes out. They hit Lynn with a Spike Piledriver and Daniels hits a fast count for the three. A fucking Spike Piledriver should never need a fast count.

ECW on TNN
September 22nd, 2000
Mississauga, Ontario, Canada


In the ring, Joey and Gertner bring out Jerry Lynn for an interview. Lynn says he's only got one thing to say, and Justin Credible and Francine come out. He says all Jerry Lynn will say is "thank you" for giving him a World Title shot in his hometown and for kicking his ass, and Steve Corino comes out. He says this is an amazing gathering, the #1 Contender who used his blood as body art and the World Champion that knows that Steve Corino was closer than anyone to taking his title. He says he can beat either one of them anywhere at any time. Special commissioner Spike Dudley comes out to book a three way dance, but it's actually next week on TV. He's about to announce a special referee too, but Rhino runs out and Gores him. Everyone fights each other besides Rhino and Credible. Corino and Lynn fight away and Spike gets double teamed, BUT NEW JACK COMES BACK! FUCK. YEAH. They claim New Jack is the referee for the three way and Anarchy Rulz. Credible and Rhino eventually take down New Jack with cane shots.

Match #1: Kid Kash [c] vs. Mikey Whipwreck w/ Sinister Minister [ECW World Television Championship]
This is in Canada, so I can finally agree with World Title status. It's also JIP and we only get like 3 minutes, but it looks AMAZING. Kash takes huge bumps and Mikey throws some awesome kicks, taking from Tajiri's arsenal. I want Tajiri vs. Kid Kash. Rhino comes back out, and Mikey bails as Kash gets KILLED with the Gore for the DQ.
**

RHINO GOES MIKEY TOO BECAUSE FUCK EVERYBODY. PILEDRIVER ON MIKEY.

After the break, Kid Kash dives on Rhino. Joey says Kid Kash has challenged Rhino. Aw man, I was hoping there was some manner of Network NANIGANS here.

Match #2: Kid Kash [c] vs. Rhino [ECW World Television Championship]
This is only three minutes, BUT IT ALSO RULES. HUGE KASH DIVE AND THEN A DIVE OVER THE RAILING TOO! Kid Kash keeps it up, BUT THEN GETS MURDERED BY ANOTHER GORE. RHINO PUTS UP A TABLE AND RUNS KASH THROUGH IT IN THE CORNER! RHINO WINS THE TITLE BACK!
**

Post-match, Rhino tears off a piece of the table and hits Kash with it. He gets on the mic and calls out Rob Van Dam, so RVD obliges. They have a pull apart.

We go to another JIP job as Nova beats Chris Hamrick and Jazz neutralizes Elektra. Chris Chetti comes out and lays out both Nova and Jazz with Amityville Horrors, before he gets on the mic. He says to get one thing straight and he's sick and tired of being held back by this company and he's the only legit athlete here. He says he wrestles better than anyone, looks better than anyone, and he even swings a chair better. Balls Mahoney comes out and lets Chetti hits him with a chair. He no sells and Chetti bails. Da Baldies hit the ring to attack Balls, but Chilly Willy makes the save.

In the back, Joel Gertner challenges Cyrus to finally fight him.

Match #3: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] w/ Sal E. Graziano vs. Danny Doring/Roadkill [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
This is a fun one, as expected. Not great because it's largely a nearfall festival without anything sensational enough to push it over the top. Still, lots of cool stuff. Huge nearfalls and ref bump stuff. Doring has it won on Guido after the Butterfly Implant DDT, but Sal comes in. He hits a Chokeslam and Vader Bomb, before pulling Guido on top for the three count.
**3/4

Lynn, Corino, and Credible come out for the main event, and it's next week. So uh...fuck it. Whatever. Fucking ECW.

Match #1: Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso vs. CW Anderson

RVD stalls for legit like 5 minutes. This is basically your typical RVD showcase of big moves and lots of posing in between some CW stuff. He gets his nearfalls at the end before RVD then hits the Van Daminator and Five Star Frog Splash for the win. This killed about half the show, so whatever.
**1/2

In the back, Joey Styles goes over Francine challenging women from Survivor. I'm assuming this is a mad publicity grab from ECW so somebody will get them back on non-syndicated PPV.

TONS OF COMMERCIALS AND RECAPS!

The Kash/Mikey/Rhino deal ends the show, along with the RVD/Rhino fight.

ECW on TNN
September 29th, 2000
Salem, NH / Canada (for the title match)


In the ring, Joey and Joel welcome everyone to the show, and this is the final ECW on TNN TV taping since next week's show is a "fuck you" re-airing of some Anarchy Rulz matches. The new TNN logo is there now. Joey says this show wasn't supposed to air tonight and Lou E. Dangerously comes out to interrupt Joel. Joey says he doesn't take him seriously to stay in the ring with him, and he's got better things to do, so he just leaves. Joel goes to leave too and Lou calls him a fat no-talent pudge ball. Joel gets back in the ring and Lou said he wrote all Joel's material when they managed The Dudleys, and he was a Dudley. Joel never was. Joel says he never liked him as a Dudley or as this rip off and he hates him now. He asks if as Music guy, if he plays the skin flute or meat whistle for Cyrus. Lou says Cyrus is going to kick his ass on PPV, and he slaps Lou. Cyrus then runs out and attacks Joel. JOEY STYLES RUNS OUT TO SAVE! YEAH!

Rhino/Kid Kash and the post-match is re-aired.

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo and as usual, it steals everything. He says RVD wants to come after HIS belt and HIM. He says he's not hunted and every time he goes to sleep, he dreams of RVD, and every waking moment he thinks about breaking his fucking neck. He keeps yelling to come after him if this is what he fucking wants. HE'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL. HE DOESN'T WANT THIS.

Match #1: Justin Credible [c] vs. Steve Corino vs. Jerry Lynn [ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Three Way Dance]
Francine and Victory are on the floor. Hey, what ever happened to that bounty on Lynn? Credible FINALLY has a great title match as Corino puts on another amazing performance. Everyone bleeds and Corino guides two men at once through some super chaotic ringside and crowd brawling. There's a Danny Daniels/HC Loc ref brawl at a point and yeah. Lynn has Credible up for his own That's Incredible but Corino hits him with the Old School Kick! Credible falls backwards and hits That's Incredible to eliminate Lynn. Corino then carries Credible with awesome exhaustion stuff and takes some nasty cane stuff. Francine canes him coming off the ropes and Credible hits That's Incredible to AGAIN beat someone on an actual unforced legitimate hot streak. I hate ECW. But I want to finish it.
***

ANARCHY RULZ UPDATE:
-Steve Corino vs. CW Anderson in a #1 Contender's Match
-FBI vs. The Unholy Alliance for the belts!

In the back, CW Anderson finds Jack Victory and asks where Steve Corino is. He says he doesn't know, but if he's got a problem with Steve Corino, then he's got a problem with Jack Victory. FUCK YEAH LOYALTY! CW lays him out with the left hand and throws him into the wall. He says tell Steve Corino that the #1 Contender's looking for him.

In the back, Justin Credible and Francine talk. Francine says Jerry Lynn broke her ribs, and he has to pay. Justin Credible says he has a track record here of beating guys in their hometown. Shane Douglas. Tommy Dreamer. The Sandman. He says this won't be any different and this title means more than life itself and when he beats him and proves he's the greatest of all time, it will be just incredible.

In the back, Jerry Lynn says he's been busting his ass for 12 years and he never got a break. He never fit into anyone's plans but at Anarchy Rulz, Justin Credible is going to fit into his plans. He's done being a starmaker and in front of his family and friends, he's going to make Jerry Lynn the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.

We start with the last minute of Jazz vs. The Prodigette. Bilvis Wesley interferes in plain sight of referee Danny Daniels but he counts the pin. Jerry Lynn comes out and hits Bilvis with the Cradle Piledriver and Daniels runs away. Rhino and Justin Credible run out to attack him, but Steve Corino and Jack Victory run out for the save.

Match #1: Psicosis vs. Mikey Whipwreck w/ Sinister Minister
This was alright, but not near the level of the Tajiri stuff. Mikey is much slower and more methodical, and Psicosis still tries to work a faster match, and it just doesn't work like anyone would want. Mikey surprisingly gets the win with a Super Whippersnapper.
**1/4

They shake hands, but the FBI hits the ring to attack them both. Danny Doring and Roadkill run out to attack the champions though, and a match breaks out!

Match #2: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] w/ Sal E. Graziano vs. Danny Doring/Roadkill [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
This is not as good as their TNN match since they tried to work a real thing and they aren't as good at that. It's also like 4-5 minutes instead of 10. They do stuff at the end and Doring has Tony beat after the Butterfly DDT. Guido distracts the ref and Sal hits Doring with a Samoan Drop. He pulls Tony on top and that gets the three count.
**

In the back, Joey Styles announces that Commissioner Dudley has booked a main event of Credible/Rhino/Danny Daniels vs. Corino/Lynn/HC Loc. You deserve to die, ECW. And if Lynn or Corino turn on each other, they'll lose their Anarchy Rulz matches.

Match #3: Balls Mahoney vs. EZ Money/Chris Hamrick
This is better than you might expect, since it's easy to forget that Hamrick is actually good. There's a lot of good weapon stuff going on and the crowd litters the ring with garbage when the heels are in control. They have some cool double teams too. I miss when the ring would be littered with garbage. Balls wins with the Nutcracker Suite on EZ.
**

In the back, Joey and Heyman mock TNN's new slogan, "We've Got Pop".

Match #4: Steve Corino/Jerry Lynn/HC Loc vs. Justin Credible/Rhino/Danny Daniels [Falls Count Anywhere]
Jack Victory and Francine are there. This sure is a thing. Corino does his best to again make something decent. He bleeds a lot, and it's actually kind of sad to see him destroy his own career prospects with all the scarring and shit in dying days ECW. Like, this isn't even going to matter in six months, friend. Anyways, he guides Credible through a good crowd brawl. CW comes out to hit Corino with a chair. Lynn gets hit with a Spike Piledriver and they put Danny Daniels on top for 3. YEAH!

ECW Anarchy Rulz 2000
October 1st, 2000
St. Paul, MN

Match #1: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York

I loved this and wish it got longer than seven minutes. Matthews and York throw some awesome punches, which I didn't know they had in them yet either. They do the Stereo Tope Suicida spot, and Doring misses a gutsy dive onto the concrete too. Roadkill is Roadkill, so that's great. Doring and Roadkill run through stuff at the end and the Buggy Bang gets the pinfall over York.
**1/4

Post-match, Team Me runs out and beats down Doring and Roadkill.

Up in the commentary booth, Joel is eating Lucky Charms for his training diet. He says he can't give away which wrestler has trained him, but you should be able to tell based on in-ring style.

Cyrus comes out to the ring and he gets on the mic. He says over in the booth, there's a fat piece of crap who happens to be the most god awful color commentator he's ever seen. He says he's ready and he's been running the stairs at the TNN Center, and everyone there says he's ready because HE'S GOT POP. He says this is Joel's opportunity to be a man instead of a fat bitch so Joel takes off his headset and walks down! Joey says he can take him and then once Joel leaves, Joey says he's a dead man and Cyrus is a ringer. Cyrus keeps goading him and says it's time to not be a bitch for once and keeps calling him a fat prick. He gets in the ring and Cyrus says he's also a god damned stupid son of a bitch if he thought he'd let him lay his hands on a Network executive and says he has to get through his man first. EZ Money comes out with the entire posse but Commissioner Spike Dudley comes out and says Cyrus still has a little stroke, but as commissioner, he has a lot of stroke. He says his men can defend his sorry ass, but they can do it against an another man, and if his man beats EZ Money, Cyrus vs. Gertner WILL happen next! Kid Kash comes out!

Match #2: Kid Kash vs. EZ Money
Everyone is ringside. This is actually an awesome spotfest, surprising me a ton. Kid Kash has an incredible dive, innovating that double jump Flipping Senton that a lot of 2000s X Division/indy guys went on to use. Money does his thing and Hot Commodity does great double teams. Kash dies on everything and the crowd absolutely makes this. Fuck it, this was great. I don't care. They redo the finish from their TV match where Kash counters a Superbomb in mid-lift to hit a Super Huracanrana for the win!
***

Chris Hamrick and Julio Dinero attack post-match, and Spike comes in to save. EZ Money attacks his leg and puts on the Figure Four, BUT THE SANDMAN COMES TO SAVE! YEAH! He clears the ring with cane shots and then pours beer on Elektra's chest and forces Joel to motorboat her, and he is so happy. Sandman then throws Cyrus into the ring!

Match #3: Cyrus vs. Joel Gertner w/ The Sandman, Kid Kash, & Spike Dudley
This is 2 minutes and did what it needed to do. Joel takes his shirt off and has the Kamala body paint on. Fantastic. He uses fat man stuff before Cyrus obviously takes over. He taunts Sandman, BUT SANDMAN GETS THE BEER MIST. JOEL GETS A SCHOOLBOY TO WIN!
45/Poop, but good

Match #4: Balls Mahoney/Chilly Willy vs. Da Baldies

I didn't hate this! It's largely because the camera focuses 90% on Balls vs. DeVito doing a fun crowd brawl. DeVito almost successfully does a Moonsault off the commentary stage. They bleed and have some good strikes. Angel magically reappears when they come back inside and he staples Balls' eye. Except unlike New Jack, he's fine and doesn't sell it. Biggie told me that white people have stronger eyes than black people, so that has to be it! Da Baldies hit the faces with stereo chair shots three times and get a double pin.
**

At commentary, Lou E. Dangerously knocks out Joel with the cell phone and says he's not a joke. Joey grabs him, but they get pulled apart.

In a pretape, Justin Credible cuts a promo and basically just repeats his promo about hometowns. He says this is the wrong place and wrong time for Jerry Lynn, just like always, and says he's the greatest ECW Champion of all time. Etc.

In the back, Jerry Lynn cuts a promo and says all the time, he hears that he had the best match on PPV or he's the best wrestler in ECW. Really? That can't be an accurate statement. He says it got him nowhere and made superstars out of everyone else, and he says he's fitting himself into ECW's plans and he's making himself a star. DON'T CARE!

Cyrus comes over to replace Joel.

Match #5: Steve Corino w/ Jack Victory & Dawn Marie vs. CW Anderson [#1 Contender's Match]
This was fantastic. Old school brawl with tons of super great punches and really loud chops. They had a lot of energy behind everything and used some chairs so that they could keep the retards' attentions for long enough to tell their story. CW targets the arm and they do some super inventive stuff with the chair to serve as hope spots. I'm not spoiling shit, everyone should go watch this match, it's wonderful. Corino's streak on PPV continues. Team Me comes out to interfere, but Victory fights them to the back. Corino escapes the Anderson Spinebuster at the end and hits the Old School Expulsion on some chairs to win.
***1/2

In the back, The Unholy Alliance cuts a promo. Mikey is wearing a Sorcerer's Apprentice style hat and reading a book entitled "Witchcraft & Demonology". Tajiri is wearing a Mikey style t-shirt. Minister says this time is usually reserved for Rob Van Dam, but he's chosen to focus on his match. They can understand, because having gold stolen from you is a situation Mikey and Tajiri are most familiar with. He says they've been reading the good book to prepare for the FBI, and they've got something that will burn their ass, AND THE BOOK BURSTS INTO FLAMES. WONDERFUL. Everybody laughs! Roll on snare.

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo. He says RVD's fans want this match, RVD wants this match, AND HE WANTS THIS MATCH. RVD WANTS TO BE THE TV CHAMPION? HE IS THE TV CHAMPION. AND HE'S GOING TO RAPE HIS FACE WITH HIS FISTS AND GOD HIMSELF WON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM. AND IF BILL ALFONSO GETS WITHIN TWO FEET OF HIM, HE'LL TAKE THAT WHISTLE AND SHOVE IT UP HIS FUCKING ASS. He then yells "TONIGHT VAN DAM" over and over as he holds the belt in front of the camera. Rhino is incredible.

Match #6: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] vs. The Unholy Alliance [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
Sal and Minister are on the floor. This is only eight or nine minutes and doesn't get as crazy as the title switch, but it's still great because Tajiri. He utilizes some more of his incredible chair kicks and stuff. Sal gets involved to take out Sinister Minister with a splash against the railing. Tajiri cuts him off trying to come in and then hits an Asai Moonsault! But then Tony hits Mikey Whipwreck with one of the title belts. They hit a stupid kind of Double Canadian Backbreaker Drop deal for the win. Gotta work on a new finish. Assisted Kiss of Death would work.
***

NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER: NOVEMBER 5TH!

Match #7: Rhino [c] vs. Rob Van Dam w/ Bill Alfonso [ECW World Television Championship]
Very good and almost great. They don't click really, but they basically realized that and then tried to force a great match through with sheer force of talent. It almost worked. RVD took some huge bumps. Rhino bumped so RVD had to earn taking him down finally and it was all great. RVD hits the Frogger but Rhino kicks out. TO NO POP. The crowd's sort of dead here before some stuff, which means nobody gives a shit about the FBI, I guess. Rhino hits the Gore and then wakes everyone up with the Apron Piledriver through a table. RVD comes back anyways though, which about ruins it, IT'S A FUCKING PILEDRIVER OFF THE APRON THROUGH A TABLE. THAT HAS TO BE THE END, GUYS. There's a ref bump, and RVD goes for the Van Terminator, but Credible comes out to cane him. RVD kicks him away and goes for it, but Rhino pulls Fonzi in the way, and Fonzie eats it. Rhino runs him through a table and hits a Piledriver on a chair, and Danny Daniels runs down and does a fast count. Really don't need a fast count. Did RVD try and refuse to job here? Because this feels like WAY more than what you'd need to do and like it's focused on protecting RVD to an absurd degree.
**3/4

Match #8: Justin Credible [c] w/ Francine vs. Jerry Lynn [ECW World Heavyweight Championship]

Justin comes out in a Brett Favre jersey and in the cheapest and most boring of ways, finally gets the kind of heat ECW's been desperate for him to get for the last three years. Jerry gets a good reception, but it's not exactly the stuff of legend they clearly wanted either. They try HARD for a 20 minute classic and again, it just isn't there. You can't make average wrestlers be more than average. They try to do a brawl but neither man can throw a punch that actually looks good and Credible continues to be the most unoriginal "hardcore" wrestler to ever work at a top level in this company. Justin tries to slow it down but he just lies there in these boring loose holds instead of actually working at them. AND CREDIBLE HITS THE MID-MATCH MIC WORK TO REGAIN THE CROWD HE'S LOT WITH 10 MINUTES OF BORING WRESTLING! AND IT FAILS. HE SHITS ON THE CROWD AND LYNN TO NO RESPONSE. They come alive when Lynn looks like he'll win the belt, and then die again. Danny Daniels comes out to be the ref after Loc gets hit and screws Jerry, BUT NEW JACK COMES OUT! YEAH! He kills Daniels, but then Credible canes him. Lynn hits the Cradle Tombstone to win. THE HORRIBLE REIGN IS OVER. THE KING OF MEDIOCRITY IS DEAD. LONG LIVE THE KING OF MEDIOCRITY.

The locker room comes out to celebrate the worst ECW Champion of all time being dethroned.

ECW on TNN - THE FINALE
October 6th, 2000
St. Paul, MN


The show opens with the ending moments of Lynn/Credible.

An Anrchy Rulz highlight video airs to "Rollin" by Limp Bizkit.

Match #1: Nova vs. Bilvis Wesley w/ The Prodigy & Prodigette
This was a pre-show match from the PPV. It's horrible, of course. It's Nova vs. Bill Wiles. This is the only original match on this final episode of TNN. Did they not want people to seek out the syndicated show after this? Or was a final "fuck you" to TNN more imp -- I know the answer. I don't know why I asked that. Silly me. This is REALLY bad and might be the legit worst match ECW ever put on TNN. Nova wins with the Kryptonite Krunch.
Ford's Consequences Promo

They re-air Kid Kash vs. EZ Money & Cyrus vs. Gertner from the PPV along with the stuff before both matches.

PULP FICTION TO TAKE IT HOME:
-Rhino yells that RVD is his bitch and he's the man he can't get by. Rob Van Dam might have never lost this title, but it's his now, and he's the man that RVD can't beat. HE'S THE BIG FUCKING DEAL.
-The FBI cuts a promo. Tony is terrified of The Unholy Alliance and says they're nearly impossible to beat. Sal says except for them, and Guido and Sal call Tony a gloryhound and says he starts the promos around here.
-The Unholy Alliance talks. Minister says this is a world full of lies and the FBI are without a doubt the biggest liars of them all. He doesn't like liars or their words and deeds and they've lit a fire under them that grows hotter every day, and a book is on fire
-Steve Corino says it's not about his blood, Jerry Lynn. It's not about their women, Justin Credible. He says the question is "WHO'S THE MAN?" and the answer is Steve Corino. And Jack Victory too!
-Dawn Marie says she's a star too
-New Jack asks if Justin Credible thought he wouldn't show up after everything. UNDERSTAND SOMETHING, HE SHOWED UP IN CANADA JUST TO GET HIS ASS. They did a number on him, credit where it's due, and a receipt ain't what's coming. He's gonna give him the whole cash register and I'm gonna lay something on he and Rhino and they ain't going down in history. He then talks about Francine eyeing him up and bouncing her big silicone tits and basically says he wants her to suck his dick and yells that she's GONNA be his next trick, Credible is gonna be his next bitch, and New Jack's getting loose now. He says Rhino's gonna look good in a dress. This is abbreviated. It's basically a five minute tirade about forced prostitution and murder.
-Jerry Lynn says he told everyone he'd win and he did it and he's gonna defend this title and he won't pass anybody up like he got passed up. Justin Credible comes over and says the only thing he respects is that belt and they jerk each other off for the "epic" match. Francine then comes and low blows Jerry and Credible gives him the most limp dicked beating ever. This is the last segment on ECW's national TV and sums up their failure.

The "Rollin" video opens this show too.

And then the closing segment of TNN with the beatdown.

AND AN UPDATED ECW TITLE VIDEO. ALL DIS TIME KILLING.

Match #1: Team Me vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York
Another perfectly fine Team Me match that isn't really anything special. Joey and York have some fun low-grade highspots to break everything up nicely. Joey Matthews predates Mark Briscoe's Frog Elbow Drop deal by a full decade, but then Diamond hits him with the ring bell. He kicks out, but then gets beaten with the Snapshot.
**1/4

A recap of the Baldies "injuring" Balls Mahoney airs, and a lot of other PPV stuff.

Match #2: Rob Van Dam/Kid Kash w/ Bill Alfonso vs. Da Baldies
Oh. Awesome. They try to work a real match and while that's better for RVD and Kid Kash probably, it's not the best move for getting something decent out of Da Baldies. DeVito can hang somewhat as we'll see over the next 5 years, but Angel is pretty far out of his depth. It basically serves as an RVD showcase with Kash there again to get the rub. The commercial break has Paul Heyman shilling the Massacre on 34th Street PPV for December 3rd HARD. Da Baldies get a control seg and it's pretty bad. RVD blows a ton of stuff on his hot tag and hits the Van Daminator to the air next to Angel's head. They hit a super smooth Frankensteiner to DeVito followed immediately by the Five Star Frog Splash deal for the win though.

ECW World Heavyweight Champion: Jerry Lynn, Since 10/1/2000
ECW World Television Champion: Rhino, Since 9/9/2000
ECW World Tag Team Champions: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke, Since 8/26/2000 - LONGEST REIGNING CURRENT CHAMPIONS

ECW Hardcore TV
October 15th, 2000
Milwaukee, WI


In the ring, Joey and Gertner bring out NEW ECW Champion Jerry Lynn. He comes out and before he can say anything, Justin Credible and Francine come out to the ring. He blames his loss of the title on Francine and Danny Daniels for failing him, so Francine says he needs to focus on reclaiming this title because her legs are CLOSED until he has the gold! Lynn says he can have a shot whenever he wants. Steve Corino comes out with Dawn Marie, and tells her to stay in the back. Jack Victory comes out to take her backstage, and Corino hits the ring. He says they have the man that can't get laid and the man that's just been made. Lynn says they should fight, but Rhino hits the ring and Gores him! Credible takes the distraction to cane Corino.

TONIGHT: CREDIBLE VS. NEW JACK!

NEXT WEEK: LYNN/CORINO FOR THE BELT!

Simon Diamond comes out and since Johnny is not here, he brings out Chris Chetti as his replacement. GROSS.

Match #1: Joey Matthews/Christian York vs. Simon Diamond/Chris Chetti
This is short at around four minutes, and it's largely a showcase for York and Matthews. Chetti and Diamond don't get along at all, and Chetti goes to the floor and doesn't come back in. Diamond gets beat with a Frankensteiner by York and then Matthews hits the Froggy Elbow to win.
*3/4

Post-match, Nova comes out and they have a really awful brawl. During all this, Lou E. Dangerously comes out and hits Nova with the phone. He leaves with Chetti. WHY?

At "ECW New York", there's a rap concert. CW Anderson pulls Jazz aside and she asks when he started going to rap concerts. He says he loves rap, and says he wants to put her over. He says she's good and almost good enough to be a professional wrestler. She gets mad and he says unless Ole and Thunderbolt double teamed her mom, she's nowhere near Anderson quality, and he leaves.

In the back, Danny Doring and Roadkill cut a promo. Doring says the FBI have screwed them over twice and they've stopped them twice and they've held them back from the titles twice. That's to their credit, and he's sure they're really happy, but like they learned at the House of Hardcore. THE MOOD IS ABOUT TO CHANGE! FUCK YEAH! CHICKENS.

Match #2: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] w/ Sal E. Graziano vs. Danny Doring/Roadkill [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
They again fall short when they overreach. Guido and Doring try to do a super fast cruiserweight style exchange and it just doesn't work. They go to some lower difficulty spotty stuff and that's all fine. There's a ref bump and they have Guido beat with the Buggy Bang. Sal hits a Legdrop to Doring and puts Guido on top and then takes out Roadkill too. The ref crawls over and counts the three for Guido.
**1/4

At ECW New York, Da Baldies are beating up Chilly Willy. Red Dog comes over to save and kicks the camera man out, saying "no witnesses".

Match #3: New Jack vs. Justin Credible w/ Francine
Credible is in a TWA t-shirt because he's the worst. New Jack basically murders Credible while Francine yells at him to do better. This is wonderful. Credible tries some lame pussy-ass cookie sheet shots to get hardcore and New Jack refuses to sell it and destroys him more. Spike dudley comes out to hit referee Danny Daniels with the Acid Drop, but then Credible lays him out with a Superkick. New Jack hits the 187 AND PINS CREDIBLE! WHOA! AWESOME! This wasn't good and was pretty short, but I enjoyed the ending.
*3/4

In the back, Babyface Camp Corino cuts a promo. Dawn shows off her new outfit and says she wanted to inspire Corino for his title match. He says it's a wonderful outfit and there's only one thing on his mind right now. THE ECW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE! He says Jerry Lynn wrote DIE on his waist with HIS blood, so he'll do him one better. He's going to wear his belt around his waist. He says nothing's going to stop him from being the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and leaves. Dawn is mad and says she's hot. Jack agrees before he throws up the V and leaves. Dawn again says she's hot and bounces. Wonderful.

Match #1: Rhino [c] w/ Cyrus vs. The Prodigy [ECW World Television Championship]

IMMEDIATE GORE. PILEDRIVER FOR THE WIN!
FUCK YEAH RHINO

RHINO GORES REFEREE MIKE BELL TOO! CYRUS PUTS A TABLE UP IN THE CORNER AND RHINO RUNS THE REFEREE TOO IT!

Match #2: Rob Van Dam vs. EZ Money
Their people are on the floor. This is RVD's final match before the end, due to money stuff probably. RVD does all his stuff and takes some big bumps to maintain some kind of facade of trying to make the kid look good, but he is pretty much checked out by this point and it becomes an obvious RVD showcase. RVD hits the top rope Van Daminator and then the Five Star Frog Sploosh to win.
**1/4

Match #3: Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Balls Mahoney

This rules...for the ninety seconds it goes. Balls is in an eyepatch and it is great. The FBI comes out to attack both men to cause the no contest. Couldn't have let this get actual time before you started that?
*

Chilly Willy comes out to save, and the FBI bails. Da Baldies come out to attack Chilly Willy again, but Balls saves him to return the favor. They set up a table and light it on fire, but Da Baldies fight back, and they put Balls through it with a Tandem Powerbomb. This is approaching Abyss with thumbtacks level of futility.

In the back, Joey announces a Flaming Tables Match for N2R with the two teams by order of Commissioner Dudley! ALSO, SUPER CRAZY WILL BE MAKING HIS RETURN! YEAH!

The ECW Title match is supposed to happen, but CW Anderson comes out and gets on the mic. He tells Corino to admit that he got lucky at Anarchy Rulz, so Corino gives him the finger. He says he respects Jerry Lynn and the World Title, and it's high time an Anderson held a World Heavyweight Title! YEAH! He says he can understand why he'd rather fight a Corino than an Anderson, but he's being a bitch. Lynn then makes it a three way dance.

Match #4: Jerry Lynn [c] vs. CW Anderson vs. Steve Corino w/ Jack Victory [ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Three Way Dance]
ANOTHER amazing big match performance from Steve Corino. There's definitely a case for him at this point as an all-time ECW great. He only has like 6-8 months or so as an actual top guy and serious wrestler in the company, but I don't think he's EVER had a bad performance and 90% of the time he gets the spotlight, it steals the entire show. They have a great crowd brawl and CW and Corino do some more great stuff. CW briefly targets the arms, and Lynn and Corino both sell well before he just stops it, so they gradually drop it. Justin Credible comes out to cane the ref and Corino hits Lynn with the Old School Kick after Credible breaks the cane on Lynn. Dawn Marie comes out with another cane and slides it in, but Credible intercepts it and canes Corino! NO. GOD DAMNIT. NOT AGAIN. CW gets rid of Credible, and Lynn hits Corino with the Cradle Piledriver for the win. At least we know where Gabe got his knack for using genuinely over on their own super hot acts to put over his forced top guys from! They at least don't stay long and Lynn quickly wins with the Cradle Piledriver.
***

PULP FICTION:
-In the back, Danny Doring and Roadkill cut a promo. Doring says it's as simple as this. They're taking the belts and you're taking your lickings. Just like a bucket of -- CHICKENSSSSS.
-Jerry Lynn says he will remain ECW Champion until someone is man enough to beat him for this, cue metal scream, BEEEELT. God damnit.
-Justin Credible says there's never been a man to make more of an impact than him or a man who screwed over more people than him, and that title is rightfully his. He says this promotion revolves around him, and Francine says if he doesn't win this title, she won't revolve around him anymore. She leaves, and Credible calls her a bitch.
-Joel Gertner says Steve Corino might not let Dawn Marie come to ringside for big matches, but he'll let her come anywhere she wants
-Cyrus says he's got pop! He says he's the one who gave power to The Network, because the man with the power is the man who stands with RHINO! Rhino rushes on and says they call Rob the Whole F'N Show, but he hasn't shown him anything yet. He hasn't taken shit from him yet. He says it's guys from Detroit like him that KICK THE SHIT OUT OF YUPPIES WHO ROLL JOINTS FROM BATTLE CREEK. HE CAN GET HIGH ALL HE FUCKING WANTS, BUT HE'S COMING AFTER HIM. VAN DAM FEARS HIM. THE BIG FUCKING DEAL. VAN DAM, SAY HIS NAME. IT'S FUCKING RHINO.

In hilarious and kind of depressing ECW fashion, they promoted this in the upcoming show ads as based around RVD's return home, and he's gone from ECW at this point.

To open the show, Balls puts The Prodigette through a flaming table with a Powerbomb. FLAMING TABLES MATCH HYPE. This is not the match to base November to Remember around, guys! The PPV is one week away, you need to announce something! I am rooting for you to die with some fucking honor here, ECW.

TONIGHT: CORINO/CW IN A #1 CONTENDER'S MATCH! KID KASH VS. EZ MONEY III!

Match #1: Kid Kash vs. EZ Money w/ Hot Commodity
Joey finally gives them the actual name here. This isn't nearly as good as the PPV as it's in front of a less insane crowd and less insane in general. TONS of interference from Julio and Hamrick on the floor but Kash kicks out of all of it. He sneaks in the Moneymaker for the win.
**1/4

The other two attack Kid Kash post-match, but Spike Dudley comes out to save and he hits the Acid Drop on Dinero. Kash fights off Hamrick, and they celebrate.

NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER UPDATE:
-FBI VS. UNHOLY ALLIANCE FOR THE TAG TITLES!
-RHINO VS. NEW JACK FOR THE TV TITLE!
-LYNN VS. CORINO VS. CREDIBLE VS. THE SANDMAN FOR THE ECW TITLE IN A DOUBLE JEOPARDY MATCH! That about spoils the main event then. Also, what is a Double Jeopardy match?

In the back, CW Anderson cuts a promo. He says Steve Corino stole his #1 Contendership for the ECW Title, but he's not giving up. Andersons never give up, and this Anderson is going to break through where his family couldn't. He's going to win the World Heavyweight Title, because it boils down to will. His will against Steve Corino's will, and he. will. lose. Because he's an Anderson.

Match #2: Simon Diamond vs. Nova
NO. BAD. This is really horrible again as Nova does his absolute best to try and prove himself as the worst wrestler in the company. Nova/Chetti is also announced for N2R. Don't care. Chris Chetti comes out to fight Nova, but then Lou E. Dangerously comes out too and breaks the phone on Nova's head. Referee Danny Daniels ignores it and does a fast count in Diamond's favor to win.
3/4*

In the back, Chris Hamrick finds Spike Dudley and calls him a crippled retard bitch and challenges him to a match. Spike accepts!

Match #3: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Phoenix/Chris Krueger
These are two TWA guys. Wrong two TWA guys to grab. This is a short Doring and Roadkill squash, but I enjoy their offense enough. they win with the Buggy Bang on Krueger.
*1/4

In the back, Simon Diamond goes to Chetti and Dangerously and is mad at Chetti for first walking out on their tag match and then involving himself tonight. Lou says there's no problem here and thanks him for his help tonight. Diamond says he did it for himself and walks off. Okay then!

Match #4: CW Anderson vs. Steve Corino w/ Jack Victory & Dawn Marie [#1 Contender's Match]
This isn't AS great as the PPV match, but it's these two for 10 minutes, so it's still great. Awesome punches and chops, and CW has some wonderful arm based attacks. I wish he would actually do more holds on the arm, but it's ECW and the mutants don't have a great attention span for actual technical wrestling, so whatever. Corino sells very well. There's a ref bump, and CW throws Victory through a table on the floor. Danny Daniels comes out with his fast counts, AND HE PULLS DAWN MARIE IN THE WAY OF THE OLD SCHOOL KICK! NO! HC Loc comes out to fight him away though, and Corino hits the Old School Expulsion for the win.
***

Post-match, Credible hits the ring to cane Corino. CW holds Corino up against the ropes and Credible canes Corino's back. Corino knocks CW down, but then turns into a cane shot to the face. They talk about Credible being the best impact player in the game supposedly and Joel drops a killer line with "Apart from maybe three or four others, nobody knows The Game like Justin Credible!" AND NEW JACK'S MUSIC HITS! He kills Credible until Rhino runs out and he Gores New Jack! Credible canes New Jack again and celebrates.

NEXT WEEK: RHINO/CREDIBLE VS. CORINO/NEW JACK!

In the back, Justin Credible and Francine cut a promo. He repeats his talking points and Francine says he better be focused because unless he has the title around his waist, she doesn't touch him below the waist. Credible says to shut up and says she has the same options Jerry Lynn has. She can either give it to him, or he can take it. And that's a shoot. So wait, did he threaten to shoot rape Francine?

In the back, Camp Corino cuts a promo. Dawn Marie says she watched the tape back and says she knows Steve didn't mean to kick her, so there's no hard feelings. Corino says there's no hard feelings, and the only hard feelings are for the ECW World Heavyweight Title. He says he's never been able to kick anybody's ass before, but he's going to kick Justin Credible's ass and Rhino's ass. Dawn Marie says there's a gangster back here, and Corino says he's here to watch his back. New Jack comes on and says Credible and Rhino done crossed over a line that they won't be able to cross back. To Steve, it's in ring. To him, it's the killing field, and they're coming to do damage. Old school to him is putting a screwdriver inside his head and twisting it, so yeah, they the Kings of Old School. POP FOR THE NAME! Dawn Marie looks HORRIFIED. New Jack says he hates Steve Corino, he can't stand Jack Victory, and Dawn Marie is a retard, but he's on a mission. They're gonna put them out. He's gotta teach Stevie about the violence, but he's gonna teach him well. New Jack leaves and Corino says Dawn should stay in the locker room again.

In the back, Joey Styles ALMOST explains Double Jeopardy by saying it's two matches in the same ring at the same time.

Match #1: The Unholy Alliance w/ Sinister Minister vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York
Tajiri and Mikey put on a great showcase. It's not great because Joey and York can't go as fast as they can and don't have the next level offense or stiffness of an FBI or whomever, but it still ruled. Tajiri unloaded with kicks at the end and Tajiri and Mikey had some great teamwork. They beat Matthews after a Double Brainbuster.
**1/2

In the back, Francine talks to Credible. She says she's been with Pitbulls, Franchises, Dreamers, and Ravens. She's always been with champions but she's never been with a Gangsta, so unless he wants her to weigh her options elsewhere, he needs to get back in title contention. Credible says he's gonna beat his opponents tonight and then go home and beat her. Wow.

Chris Hamrick comes out with his leg all bent and messed up and he does a really awesome job of selling it. He says he hurt his legs doing his 1500 squats, so this match is off. He asks for Spike to reschedule this, and Spike Dudley comes out with his knee brace still on. Hamrick then hits him from behind and shakes out his leg! YEAH!

Match #2: Spike Dudley vs. Chris Hamrick
Spike eventually comes back with a dick kick and Acid Drop to win.
1/2*

The rest of Hot Commodity comes out to attack Spike, but Kid Kash comes out to save! They beat on him too, but Danny Doring and Roadkill come out to save him, and they clear the ring of Hot Commodity.

Match #3: Jerry Lynn [c] vs. Danny Daniels [ECW World Heavyweight Championship]
Lynn squashes him in under a minute and kills him (off, hopefully) with the cradle Piledriver.
1/4*

Match #4: Steve Corino/New Jack vs. Justin Credible/Rhino w/ Francine

Joey finally explains Final Jeopardy during this as two matches happening at the same time, with the two winners going on to fight for the World Title. This breaks Corino's streak of *** matches as it's more a New Jack deal. I like New Jack's whole deal, it's a lot of fun, but Corino's stuff is just better. There's some cool crowd brawling on both ends and back in the ring, Rhino gets beat after the Old School Kick and 187.
**1/2

After the match, Credible canes Corino, and Rhino rams New Jack through the table. The Sandman comes out to clean house and he runs off Rhino and Credible with cane shots. He offers a beer to Corino in celebration and someone on top of ECW finally accepting Corino into the club, but Corino slaps the beer out of his hand and rejects it.

No "November Rain" video! HOLY SHIT, WHAT? WHY? THIS IS SADDER THAN THE ACTUAL DEATH OF THE COMPANY.

PULP FICTION:
-Jerry Lynn says he beat Corino's ass bloody and he liked it. He says he took this title from Credible and it should look familiar. The Sandman also wants his title. Great set up, Jerry. He says only one man can leave with the gold and it's gonna be HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIM.
-CW Anderson says he's gonna spoil Super Crazy's homecoming
-Francine says whoever goes home with the title at N2R goes home with her
-The FBI says Mikey and Tajiri are the best tag team in the universe, except for one
-Rhino thanks New Jack for pissing him off and lighting the fire that nobody else could do. He's the most violent man to ever set foot in ECW and he's gonna make him kneel in a puddle of his piss, blood, and shit and look up at him. HE CAN'T STOP. HE'LL SAY HIS NAME. HE'LL TATTOO HIS NAME ON HIS PRICK, AND HE'LL UNDERSTAND VIOLENCE.
-More flaming tables footage
-Paul hypes up the card again

ECW NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER 2000
NOVEMBER 5TH, 2000
VILLA PARK, IL


In the back, Jerry Lynn cuts a promo. He says when he won this belt, he made a promise to be a fighting champion. And this belt is in Double Jeopardy tonight. He says it's FINE if he has to walk through Justin Credible, because he did it at Anarchy Rulz. And if he has to walk through Steve Corino or The Sandman, that's just FINE too. If he has to, he'll walk through everyone in one night all at the same time, because he's the ECW Heavyweight Champion of the WOOOOOOOOOOOORLD. Well that was horrible.

In the back, Justin Credible talks about the match and says the ECW Title is coming home to him. Francine says he has the greatest motivation, and when he gets that title back, he'll have a whole new meaning to home sweet home, and does a crotch chop.

In the back, The Sandman is surrounded by beers and says he's a three time ECW Champion. He's The Sandman, the King of Extreme, the Hardcore Icon. He makes it a fourth tonight, because he's politically incorrect and and damn proud of it.

In the back, Steve Corino is with Jack Victory, who tells him to stay focused and do the promo. Corino asks if he knows his part and Victory says this is his part, and just looks at the camera. He throws up the V and then FINALLY yells "HIGH SPOT!" Corino says tonight, he's gonna be the ECW World Champion. He's gonna go through The Sandman first and then whoever's left is going down too. Tonight, he won't only be the King of Old School, but the King of a New Era and the Leader of the Extreme. Tonight is his night. Dawn Marie walks over and asks about her outfit. Corino says it's fine and leaves, and Dawn asks what his problem is. Victory says not to worry about it, so she leaves. Victory is alone, and throws up the double V. HIGH SPOT!

In the ring, Joey and Joel do their intro but Simon Diamond comes out and says he has a problem. He says he wants to know what it takes to get his name mentioned around here because his partner is not here tonight with a broken orbital bone at the hands of Joey Matthews and Christian York. Tommy Dreamer hasn't wrestled in 10 weeks and his career is over and HE was the one who did it, yet that's never been mentioned. He insults Gertner and Joel says he's put him over on TV all the time, and he thinks his gimmick is great. He likes everything he does straight down to his ring name, which he can't remember since he's just some undercard jamoke, so Diamond hits him. Joey tries to save but then Johnny Swinger returns with a chair. Joey bails and Tommy Dreamer comes to save. BUT CW ANDERSON LAYS OUT TOMMY WITH THE SPINEBUSTER! YEAH! Matthews and York come to save, and it's a tag match!

Match #1: Joey Matthews/Christian York vs. Team Me w/ CW Anderson
I like this match up a lot. It's only like five minutes, which means it's pretty much the best stuff that they have. York and Matthews do cool double teams and have DAT STEREO TOPE SUICIDA. And then Johnny and Diamond prove me wrong by being super sloppy and bringing this down a notch. CW gets in and hits Joey with the Spinebuster. York then gets caught with the Problem Solver, and I win.
**

Anyways, they keep on the attack, but Kid Kash runs out to save. Super Crazy isn't here, I guess, so Kid Kash is replacing him against CW. GIGANTIC DIVE ONTO EVERYONE AT RINGSIDE! FUCK YEAH KID KASH!

Match #2: Kid Kash vs. CW Anderson w/ Team Me
Fuck my sentence in the HH2000 PPV about how this would rule in a year's time if ECW was alive, because this rules NOW and is almost great. It's a low grade one with ECW's sliding scale, but it's a really good match, as Kid Kash is quietly taking over RVD's mantle more and more as the best flippy guy in the company. He takes huge bumps and all of CW's power stuff is fantastic as a result. I wish he sold the arm more, but CW also randomly gave that up for some reason and they did cool stuff. Kash wins with a Swinging DDT after he can't get CW up for the Moneymaker.
**3/4

Match #3: Danny Doring/Roadkill/Spike Dudley vs. EZ Money/Chris Hamrick/Julio Dinero w/ Elektra

This starts as 2 vs. 3, until Spike comes out a few moments in. FUCK IT. AWESOME SPOTFEST. Great dives, and Hot Commodity has a lot of really cool double and triple teams, even if a lot of their singles stuff is contrived as fuck. They didn't have a lot of time to do that as only getting seven or eight minutes meant they just did the hits. The faces were the same way and the finishing run had some awesome spots. Roadkill and Spike hit hit Hamrick with a Wheelbarrow Cutter for the win.
***

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo. He says New Jack wants to come after him, but he'll show him how he fights. HE'LL REALIZE JUST LIKE EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT HE CAN'T BEAT HIM. SLIM CHANCES. VERY FUCKING SLIM. HE'S GONNA RIP OFF HIS FACE, SHOVE IT DOWN HIS THROAT, AND HE'LL HAVE TO SHIT HIS OWN FACE OUT. HE'S GONNA MAKE HIM SHIT HIS FACE OFF.

Before the next match, Chris Chetti challenges Nova to make this a Loser Leaves Town Match! YES!

Match #4: Nova vs. Chris Chetti w/ Lou E. Dangerously [Loser Leaves Town]
Hey, this is REALLY bad. Chetti is the worst wrestler in ECW until the bell rings, and then by virtue of his own, Nova takes over that mantle. Tons of stupid contrived stuff, and it'd be less horrible if he actually connected with the stuff he's doing. Nova wins with a totally unnecessary SUPER Kryptonite Krunch.
1/2*

In the back, New Jack cuts a promo from behind a steel fence. He says he's been waiting on this night for too long, and it's he and Rhino tonight. Nobody that he can distract him with and throw him through a table with. He says he's drilled him and he laid there in pain, but the problem is that he didn't kill him. So he's been thinking how to get him back, and he's brought ALL his toys. Stephen King couldn't have dreamed up what he has for him. This is gonna be the night that he opens him up like a doctor, scoops his guts out, and eats them up like a buzzard. And then he'll take that little belt. He doesn't want it to wear or for his kids. He's got car problems, and he's gonna pawn that belt or sell it and he'll do everything you're not supposed to do with it. All he wants is that money and to destroy his ass. Because he's his.

Match #5: Balls Mahoney/Chilly Willy vs. Da Baldies [Flaming Tables Match]
This is fucking terrible. Meandering brawl for 10 minutes before they went back in the ring. Balls puts Angel through the flaming table with a Powerbomb.
3/4*

In the back, The Unholy Alliance cuts a promo with a Thanksgiving feast on the table. Minister says this time of year, people usually give thanks. He is certain that New Jack is thankful that he's going to face Rhino for the World TV Title. Likewise, Justin Credible, The Sandman, and Steve Corino must also be thankful for their World title shots. He says they're thankful for the opportunity to destroy the FBI, and he says to let the feast begin. He lights the edge of the table on fire, and it pans back to reveal Mikey Whipweck tied up like a hog with an apple in his mouth on the table.

Match #6: Rhino [c] vs. New Jack [ECW World Television Championship]
This is very much a New Jack Match. It's fun because I enjoy the chaos but wasn't very original in what they did. Sort of a laid back performance by New Jack that doesn't exactly jive with his promo in the back, but whatever. There's a ref bump, and New Jack destroys Danny Daniels when he tries to be the replacement. A little later on, Rhino puts New Jack through the table with a Gore for the win.
**

In the back, Steve Corino goes into The Sandman's locker room. He starts pouring out his beer while Sandman is taking a shit under the theory that it's like taking spinach away from Popeye, but Sandman finishes early and catches him. They fight and Jack Victory kicks the camera man out.

Match #7: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] w/ Sal E. Graziano vs. The Unholy Alliance [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
RULES AGAIN! This is better than their Anarchy Rulz match initially, but not as good as the tag title switch. They get more time to do fireworks with some 15 minutes, but don't get to use as many weapons and tricks as the title switch. Tajiri and Mikey go wild with stuff, but Mikey fucks up his shoulder doing a Double Super Whippersnapper. He gets taken to the back, AND SUPER CRAZY COMES OUT TO REPLACE HIM?! FUCK YEAH! It actually kind of declines after that. It's still great, but less violent and insane than Tajiri doing a bunch of stuff since it's Crazy's return, and he has to shine. He ends up fighting Sal into the crowd and hits the Moonsault off a balcony deal. Tajiri puts Tony in the Tarantula, but Guido saves. He hits a Hanging Bulldog, and that's just sort of it. Lame.
***

In the back, The Blue Boy and Jasmine are in the shower and plug the website.

Match #8: Jerry Lynn [c] vs. Justin Credible vs. Steve Corino vs. The Sandman [ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Double Jeopardy Match]
The pairings are Lynn/Credible and Corino/Sandman. It's not THE worst idea in the world, and they work it well enough. As usual, Francine, Dawn Marie, and Victory are on the floor. The Sandman doesn't come out for a while and they even do ring intros without him, which is very strange. Corino sits back and lets us watch Credible/Lynn AGAIN, which probably means he's turning back heel soon because that's a horrible thing to do. The Sandman finally shows up and falls down on the steps in the crowd AND TRIES TO WALK BACK UP INSTEAD OF TO THE RING. Good lord. Corino AGAIN slaps Sandman's beer away and they have a great fight. Ladders, chairs, and guardrails get in, and there's some cool spots. Credible and Corino score pins at the same time on their opponents with the That's Incredible and Old School Expulsion. They then have a match and fuck it, this should have been when Credible lost the title. Or Corino should have won it in September anyways. They do stuff and Credible pulls Francine in the way of the Old School Kick! They do more things, and Dawn Marie low blows Corino and Victory and leaves. Credible canes Corino, but then Corino gets the Old School Kick anyways AND WINS THE TITLE! YEAH! Overdue title win, but that was all kind of a mess and the heel turn by Dawn meant absolutely nothing, so why even bother?
**1/4

Post-match, Lynn hands Corino the belt and slaps him before leaving.

MASSACRE ON 34TH STREET: DECEMBER 3RD!

In the back, Joel and Joey talk about dedicating the show to The Sinister Minister after his burns at N2R. This is that amazing story where he finally got caught with the fire and bellowed out, "FUCK...MIKEY...THIS IS NOT GOOD."

Clips from FBI vs. Unholy Alliance/Super Crazy air.

In the back, the FBI cuts a promo. They talk about beating everyone and Guido says he heard Sinister Minister lost a finger backstage last weekend. Sal says they have enough to worry about with defending their belts, so he's going to investigate and find out. He says he won't rest until the culprit is found and brought to justice, just like in the OJ trial, like you can expect from the FBI.

Rhino's amazing N2R promo is aired.

In the back, Danny Doring and Roadkill cut a promo. He says every team that's been put in front of the FBI has been beaten, and they're the same way. Every team that came to ECW to take their spot has been turned back, they've kicked their asses. And so have they. The only difference is that they've been beaten, turned back, and had their asses kicked. It's his fault because he knew they would cheat them, but he didn't want to fight back. The truth is, he's no choir boy and challenges them to one more match. So they can beat THEM, so they can kick THEIR asses, so they can take THEIR spot. And they're going to pluck their heads, just like a bunch of -- CHICKENS.

In a segment from before the PPV, Tommy Dreamer comes out to the ring. He doesn't get to talk though, as CW Anderson and Simon Diamond come out. Simon says he has a problem and says to tell people why his career is over and why he's been injured and to tell them WHO'S responsible for all that. He hands off the mic, but CW uses it to cheap shot him. Joey Matthews and Christian York come out to save, and the heels bail.

In the back, the Three Horse Riders cut a promo. CW says he respects Tommy Dreamer for all he's done, but he's gonna use his ass as a stepping stone, because he's an Anderson.

Chetti/Nova airs again, because FUCK the ECW fanbase, I guess.

A recap of the main event airs, set to "November Rain". Close enough to what I wanted. They guitar solo part is used for the update ECW World Title video.

In the back, Steve Corino cuts a promo right after. He says he's always heard that the night you win the World Heavyweight Championship is supposed to be the greatest night of your life, but for him, he can do better. As he stands here bleeding, he knows the fight's just begun. The beatings he suffered before were nothing, because everyone's out to get him and to take advantage of him. It's not going to happen because he's the King of Old School, leader of the new era, and he knows every trick in the book. He says a champion's paycheck for his little boy means more than anything, more than drinking a beer with The Sandman or double teaming Francine with Justin or maybe even rolling one with RVD. None of that means anything. THIS MEANS IT ALL. He says before anyone can get to him, he'll get to them and everyone's on notice. He then tells Jack to hit the HIGH SPOT, and he throws up the V. HIGH SPOT. Corino says he stole the promo again.

PULP FICTION:
-In the back, Francine is yelling at Justin Credible and leaves. He says he's gotta get her to shut the fuck up.
-Jerry Lynn refuses an interview, but Cyrus comes over. He says there's no Network, but they're both still here and he saw Jerry Lynn get screwed tonight. He says he can fix it for him and tells him to think about it.

In "the office", Cyrus is at his desk. He says he was just doing some research, and it took ECW three years and a month to give Jerry Lynn a World Title match (false) and it wasn't because they finally recognized his talent, but because they wanted to sell easy tickets in his hometown. Then they stacked the cards and he still barely won. Then he was barely advertised and got screwed out of it. Maybe he'll get another shot, but he thinks Justin Credible and Rhino and the Sandman are in front of him. He says he's got some heat with ECW after that whole canceling the show and sending ECW back into the stone age deal, and now he's trying to help Jerry Lynn and ECW now. He's a new Cyrus, and he's his friend!

TONIGHT: UNHOLY ALLIANCE/SUPER CRAZY VS. HOT COMMODITY!

In the ring, Joey and Joel bring out Justin Credible and Francine. Credible drops a HEY YO. Hey, this is the Scott Hall show! Everything from this makes TV by and large, but after it's over, I'll review Hall/Credible, because ugh, I should. He says he pinned the ECW Champion, but he has NO title belt and it's bullshit. He says he lives for two things, the ECW World Title and some bleeped out thing that probably is about Francine's various holes. He says that's not just the coolest, but that's JUST TOO SWEET!

Match #1: Danny Doring/Roadkill vs. Bilvis Wesley/The Prodigy w/ TWA Class Faggots
Solid showcase by Doring and Roadkill. They give the jobbers actual offense, so this isn't topping one point. Joey says FBI vs. Doring/Roadkill is on for the PPV, so awesome! They somehow pin The Prodigette with the Buggy Bang.
*1/2

The FBI runs out and destroys them. NO. AND SAL PULLS OUT SCISSORS AND CUTS OFF DORING'S HAIR! NO! YOU SONS OF BITCHES! THAT RULED! THEY CUT OFF ROADKILL'S BEARD NEXT! I LEGIT HATE THEM NOW AND WANT THEM TO DIE! FUCK YEAH DYING DAYS ECW!

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo! He says everyone wants his title and he'll kick New Jack's fucking ass. He says kicking RVD's ass felt so good that he never wants to stop. He says he'll kick the living shit out of Super Crazy and he'll have a Japanese Death Match with Tajiri and make him his bitch. HE'LL STOP LIVING. Kid Kash wants to get back at him and says he'll kill him too. HE KILLED THE GIANT KILLER. SPIKE DUDLEY ISN'T SHIT. HE BROKE HIS FUCKING LEG. COME AFTER HIM.

Match #2: The Unholy Alliance/Super Crazy vs. EZ Money/Chris Hamrick/Julio Dinero w/ Elektra
This ruled for the 5-ish minutes that it got. Tajiri did a bunch of super super violent things and then the miscommunication between Tajiri and Super Crazy begins. IT WILL NEVER DIE! Super Crazy accidentally hits Tajiri with a Missile Dropkick. EZ takes Crazy out with the Money Clip, and then Hamrick hits Tajiri with the Flying Legdrop AND HOLY SHIT HE ACTUALLY WINS!
**1/4

Mikey plays peacemaker post-match, but Tajiri and Crazy slap each other and want a match! YEAH!

Match #3: Super Crazy [8] vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri [6] w/ Mikey Whipwreck [Best of Forever Series - Match #15]
This is also only like 5 minutes. They do some awesome table spots on the floor, but also clearly CLEARLY hold back because of the length. Mikey ends up "turning" on Super Crazy and he pulls him off the top rope with the Whippersnapper. Tajiri hits the Running Basement Dropkick for the win. Joey says Super Crazy needs a tag partner. HMMMMMM.
**1/2

NEXT WEEK: CORINO/LYNN FOR THE BELT!

In the back, Steve Corino cuts a promo. He says not only is he the ECW Champion, the King of Old School, and the lord of a new era, but he's the man that knows every trick in the book. Old or new, evil or good, and Jerry Lynn? HE WROTE DIE ON HIS CHEST WITH HIS BLOOD, AND HE NEVER FORGAVE HIM. He says he's dangling the ECW Title in front of his face and it's SO sweet. He says he can hear the excuses now about how fucking old he is and how many times he's failed, but that time is over. Steve Corino is the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and he's not. He asks Victory how that was, and he says he loved it. He turns and asks Francine how it was, and she's been watching. She says that was great. Corino asks if she wants to hang out. NO SHAME. Justin Credible comes in and is mad and says he deserves that title. Corino says he hears Jerry Lynn is telling everyone that if he wins the title, Credible isn't getting ANY title shots. Credible falls for it and says he wants the title but he drags Francine off. She says she'll be back, and Corino and Victory high fives. Corino says he can hit it now, and he throws up the V. HIGH SPOT!

They re-air the Corino/Credible segment.

A music video of recent events airs to Limp Bizkit's "My Generation". Why is this happening again?

Match #1: Chilly Willy vs. Tony DeVito
This was like a minute and CW wins with the Falcon Arrow. HE'S DONE THE DEAL.
1/4*

Post-match, Angel returns from burn injuries to attack. Balls Mahoney runs out to save.

In the back, the FBI cuts a promo. Sal keeps making jokes about Minister's fingers and Tony has no idea what's going on. Guido says he'll smarten him up and they'll cut off hair, fingers, and even balls if they have to do it to keep what they've got.

In the back, the camera catches Cyrus staking out a locker room for Jerry Lynn, and he draws stars and his name on it. He sees the camera and says Jerry is fragile right now and he worked like 22 years to win the title and lost it in 3 days or something, and he's the shortest reigning champion of anything ever by his calculation. He says he won't have Jerry Lynn have to go back to Fargo, ND and tell all his hometown fans that he failed, because he's all about Jerry Lynn now.

In the back, Rhino does it again. He slaps his arm like he's trying to find a vein and he says he has an addiction to violence. AND HE NEEDS HIS FIX. HE'LL PLUCK RVD OUT OF THE SKY AND RIP HIS HEART OUT AND HE'LL LET HIM WATCH IT BEAT ONE LAST TIME. HE NEEDS HIS FIX, KID KASH. HE'LL BREAK HIS FUCKING NECK. BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BREAK HIS NECK. SPIKE DUDLEY. SPIKE DUDLEY, HE BROKE HIS FUCKING LEG. HE BROKE HIS FUCKING LEG. HE GETS OFF ON VIOLENCE. HE GETS OFF ON MAKING PEOPLE FEEL PAIN. HE'LL PUNISH ANYONE. EVERYONE. RHINO. RHINO. RHINO. RHINO.

Match #2: Steve Corino [c] w/ Jack Victory vs. Jerry Lynn [ECW World Heavyweight Championship]
This is fine enough, but has much more to do with current angles than any attempt to put forth a great match. Cyrus comes out to watch early on, and Lynn is super aggressive after losing the belt. HC Loc is a horrible referee and gets taken out. Danny Daniels comes out, but Corino takes him out with the kick. A third ref gets taken out, and Justin Credible comes out to lay both men out with cane shots. HC Loc gets up and Jerry is "blinded" from a cut on the eye, so the match is stopped.
**1/4

Coming back, Corino and Victory are in the ring and Corino has the mic. He says he's the champion and that means he's better than everyone from ECW, WWF, WCW, Puerto Rico, Japan, Mexico, East Japip, it doesn't matter. He says if there was any one man good enough to take this belt, he'd slap him like he slapped a beer out of The Sandman's hands. "Enter Sandman" hits and Corino is basically a heel again for no real reason. The Sandman comes out and after the break, Corino says he didn't mean tonight. He says he'd love to wrestle him, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, HE'S INJURED HIS APPENDIX AGAIN! YES! He tries to stall more, but Sandman spits beer and attacks him, so a match breaks out.

Match #3: Steve Corino [c] w/ Jack Victory vs. The Sandman [ECW World Heavyweight Championship]
This ruled! Sandman uses a ladder and railing for his stuff and Corino is Corino and unfuckwithable in a match if he gets time at this point. They only get like 6-7 minutes, so it's not GREAT, but it's very very good. Sandman ends up destroying Corino with cane stuff and goes for the White Russian Legsweep onto the railing, BUT CORINO TURNS AT THE LAST SECOND AND HITS THE OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION ON THE RAILING FOR THE CLEAN WIN!
**1/2

In the back, Rhino is beating the shit out of Spike Dudley and yells that he just got his fix.

The show opens with Rhino's attack.

Joey and Joel are in the ring but Team Me and CW Anderson come out. They have a problem and say they're not done yet and still have a score to settle from the PPV with the two of them. They hit the ring and Joey and Joel bail out to the stage. Diamond is mad about being criticized by non-athletes and Joey says he's watched everyone from curtain jerkers like them to midcarders to main eventers get themselves over by picking on announcers. Yes, he's not a wrestler, but Joel WAS the top manager in ECW at one point, and he brings out York and Matthews. Joel says since there's three of them out there, he'll bring someone else out. When he managed the greatest tag team in the world, The Dudley Boyz, he didn't like this guy, but he was the biggest thorn in their side, AND IT'S TOMMY DREAMER! AND HEY FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE!

Match #1: Tommy Dreamer/Joey Matthews/Christian York w/ Joel Gertner vs. CW Anderson/Team Me [Falls Count Anywhere]
I am enjoyed this. They did a decent array of spots before it turned into a crowd brawl. CW is awesome at this, and he dumps Tommy over the bleacher railing to the floor, but it was probably padded since we only get a wide shot with Tommy just sort of falling off the edge of the screen. CW is the MVP back inside too, as he breaks out a killer Stalling Superplex on top of the brawling. And yeah. DAT LEFT HAND. DAT SPINEBUSTER. Joey does a beautifully reckless Tope Suicida here, and Joel gets involved to go after Diamond and has the Kamala paint on again. Dreamer hits the DDT, AND JOEL DOES THE KAMALA ATTEMPTED BACK PIN! AMAZING! Tommy rolls him over and they both cover for the three.
**1/2

BUT CW DESTROYS TOMMY WITH A CHAIR AND PUTS THE ANDERSON ARMBAR ON GERTNER! THIS RULES!

In the back, Joey announces the final Queens show on 12/15 WITH THE ONE NIGHT RETURN OF THE DUDLEY BOYZ! FUCK YEAH! He also announces Corino vs. Lynn vs. Credible for the ECW Title in a three way dance for the PPV tonight.

A recap of recent ECW Title events airs.

Match #2: Rhino [c] vs. Kid Kash [ECW World Television Championship]
As entrances happen, Joey also announces Rhino/Spike for the PPV! They finally get more than three minutes and gets something like 5-6, but it's less insane than their other efforts. Rhino wins with a Piledriver off the middle rope.
**

Rhino goes to get a table and he puts it in the corner, but Spike Dudley comes out! HE AVOIDS THE GORE AND RHINO GOES THROUGH THE TABLE! ACID DROP! FUCK YEAH!

PULP FICTION:
-Mikey Whipwreck challenges Super Crazy to find a partner
-Tommy Dreamer finds York and Matthews and asks what's wrong with them and asks if they want to end up broken down and hurt like him. He says they have more talent than he does and don't need to do this. York says everyone thinks they're pussies and wants to get over on them, but fuck that. Joey asks how he couldn't understand and he's told everyone to do whatever it takes in ECW, and they're doing it.
-Paul announces Tommy vs. CW for the PPV
-Doring and Roadkill vow to split if they can't win the titles this time, because all they need is one more shot

Justin Credible w/ Francine vs. Scott Hall, Poughkeepsie (11/11/2000)
Hall comes out to "Ready or Not" by The Fugees, and it rules. This isn't really good. It's 2000 Scott Hall putting on a house show performance and it's only 10 or so minutes and it's a Justin Credible match, but it's ENTERTAINING at worst. Scott Hall basically makes a joke of Credible and destroys him and it's awesome. He has a ton of fun with it and then Credible gets caught clearly calling spots. Credible takes over and it is so fucking boring. Hall pretty easily ends it with the Outsider's Edge. Hilarious burial.

ECW MASSACRE ON 34TH STREET
DECEMBER 3RD, 2000
HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM
MANHATTAN, NY


In the back, Steve Corino cuts a promo. He says he's walking into a pay per view as the World Heavyweight Champion in New York City, the most famous city in the world. He thinks about the champions that got to defend it here. Bruno Sammartino, who sucked. Pedro Morales, who's hiding from the INS. He has nothing to say about Mr. Buckland, because he's insane. And they voted for him. Then he thinks about the champions that DIDN'T get to perform here with their titles. Tommy Dreamer, Taz, and Ric Flair. He says both Justin Credible and Jerry Lynn want his title and he'll do ANYTHING to keep this belt. Corino says he's the toughest bastard in this locker room and he's walking in the champion and walking out the World Heavyweight Champion. HIGH SPOT.

Before the opening match, Dawn Marie says the winner gets her managerial services.

Match #1: Team Me vs. Joey Matthews/Christian York
This was a good five minutes. Apparently five minutes is what they need, since this is the match where there's pretty much no filler and it's all the cool stuff they have. Johnny and Diamond still have a lot of contrived stuff they don't need to be doing, but York and Matthews rule. Joey connects with another fantastic Tope Suicida. York's cannot compare, so he does a different dive. They beat Johnny with the Frankensteiner from Joey followed by a Flying Elbow from York.
**1/4

Matthews is hurt on the mat, and Dawn Marie rakes the eyes of York. He then gets hit with the Problem Solver, and she celebrates with them. YEAH, GO TEAM ME! Joel says something isn't right, and he leaves commentary. Joel comes down to help Joey to the back.

In the back, Danny Doring and Roadkill cut a promo. Danny says they didn't go to the House of Hardcore to get humiliated and get his hair cut and his friend's beard shaved. He says they suffered and paid their dues for those belts, and if they can beat them, they're done as a team. Tonight's their night though because they worked too fucking hard for it. They leave as contenders and come back as -- CHAMPIONS. FUCK YEAH!

Match #2: Balls Mahoney vs. EZ Money w/ Hot Commodity
This is whatever. Sort of just a lot of time killing and boring stuff, and EZ Money is totally cool with revealing himself who was carried entirely by Kid Kash and others on PPV the last few months. Balls doesn't put in a ton of effort. Elektra distracts the ref and Balls is hit with Hamrick's Flying Legdrop and a Moonsault by EZ Money, and Money gets the upset!
*3/4

They keep on the attack, and Nova runs out to save. A match happens. NO.

Match #3: Nova vs. Julio Dinero w/ Hot Commodity
WHY? They do lots of super horrible stuff that's either super super contrived or super super super contrived AND sloppy. Balls comes back out with the chair to destroy Hot Commodity with chair shots, and Nova hits a shoddy Swanton Bomb for the win.
*1/4

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo. He says people tell him New York is hardcore, but it's no Detroit. IT'S FULL OF A BUNCH OF PUSSIES. JUST LIKE DUDLEYVILLE. SPIKE IS THE BIGGEST PUSSY OF ALL. He says he's interfered in his matches and says he's put his head through a fucking table. BUT HE LET HIM LIVE FOR THIS NIGHT. BECAUSE TONIGHT, HE MIGHT NOT HAVE THE COMPASSION TO LET HIM LIVE ANOTHER DAY. WORLD TELEVISION CHAMPION. RHINO. RHINO. RHINO.

Match #4: Little Guido/Tony Mamaluke [c] w/ Sal E. Graziano vs. Danny Doring/Roadkill [ECW World Tag Team Championship]
This is pretty average, unfortunately. Doring looks nervous as fuck and messes up stuff he'd been doing right for a while. Amish has cool dives, but this seems like it ends right as it's starting to really get off the ground with cool spots and bumps, since that's really all these teams are good at. Roadkill has a good hot tag, and Tony takes a insane bump off the apron into the crowd. And then Guido just sort of gets beaten with the Buggy Bang. At least they finally won the titles!
**1/4

In the back, Spike Dudley does a Rhino impression by grunting and saying he's going to piss down his throat and then just drops it and yells FUCK RHINO, MAN. BAM BAM? BEAT HIM. 911? BEAT HIM. HUGHES? BEAT HIM. BUBBA AND D-VON? BEAT THEM. He's not afraid of Rhino and nobody LETS him do anything. He's gonna let Rhino live tonight, and he'll live as a former TV Champion. He punches the wall and yells FUCK YOU, MOTHERFUCKER again.

Match #5: Tommy Dreamer vs. CW Anderson
CW spits at Tommy to start. This could have been better and they had some good ideas. CW had great arm work, but then Tommy sold it all of one time and there was a lot of filler in the middle. Lou E. Dangerously came out to randomly align himself with CW now, BUT PAUL HEYMAN CAME OUT WITH THE REAL PHONE AND FINALLY KILLED LOU WITH IT! YEAH! They match then sort of just kept happening. CW put a table in the corner with the back side up and put Tommy through it and on top of the legs with the Spinebuster for the win.
**3/4

In the back, The Sinister Minister returns and hash is hand taped up. He says a little stigmata wasn't going to keep him down. They say one flew over the cuckoo's nest, but he thrived in it. Everyone laughs.

Match #6: Rhino [c] vs. Spike Dudley [ECW World Television Championship]
This ruled, but wasn't as insane as their match in the spring. The Hammerstein is a cooler venue, but in a brawl, it has less set pieces than the ECW Arena (no stage/bleacher area, nicer crowd chairs, etc.) to play with. Still, some really cool bumps here by Spike, and when he came back with a balcony Crossbody and then chair stuff to Rhino's knee for revenge, it ruled. He taped Rhino's leg to the bottom rope and got a chair, but Rhino got free. Spike went to do something on the mat, but Rhino grabbed him and just fucking choked him out with a rear chinlock. Okay then!
**3/4

Rhino keeps on the attack and he puts a table in the corner. The referee tries to stop him, SO RHINO RUNS THE REFEREE THROUGH THE TABLE! YEAH!

In the back, Francine goes up to Steve Corino and Jack Victory and asks if he needs any warm up before the main event. He says he already took care of himself, but tells Jack to get over. They high five and Jack says he holds the belt sometimes, and Francine says it's good enough. They go off into a back room. HIGH SPOT. Corino says he's gonna get in, but Credible attacks him with a cane. God damnit. Credible yells that they're done, and Jack starts screaming. Francine comes out and says sharp teeth are a bitch, and Credible says she is too.

SUPER CRAZY'S PARTNER IS KID KASH! YEAH!

Match #7: The Unholy Alliance w/ Sinister Minister vs. Super Crazy/Kid Kash
This was great, but I expected a little more. They probably didn't need 18 minutes since Kash and Mikey struggled at points to fill time. There were a lot of awesome spots, but nothing really next level when they started using tables and chairs. Which...I mean, it's unfair. I get that. But Tajiri and Crazy raised the bar so high with their violence in the first few months of 2000 that anything less will feel like a step down. But yeah, huge spots through tables, some good chair violence, etc. They redo the spot with Tajiri double stomping through a table and onto Crazy buried under chairs, and Tajiri gets the win!
***1/4

Match #8: Steve Corino [c] vs. Justin Credible vs. Jerry Lynn [ECW World Heavyweight Championship - Three Way Dance]

This is whatever. I mean, it's not BAD. Corino doesn't have bad matches, but there's way way way way too much working against this for it to be anything more than average. Corino bleeds, of course, and he carries Credible through stuff and guides Lynn through great stuff instead of his bullshit. Lynn is again out first after That's Incredible following some cheating. Credible uses weapons and Corino does interesting stuff when he's on offense. Credible is all like "OH COOL A SLAM INTO AN OPEN CHAIR. I'M HARDCORE FUCK YEAH. IRISH WHIP INTO A LADDER. FUCK YEAH. I'M THE MAN." Corino hits the Old School Expulsion to win.
**1/2

Post-match, The Sandman comes out. He lays out Corino and Victory with cane shots, and runs off with the belt! Hey, what the fuck?

A PPV recap airs, set to "Disposable Teens". Clearly, hyping the debut of "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels too!

A recap of the Team Me/CW stuff from the PPV airs.

In the back, they cut a promo. Diamond says Johnny doubted him and she's the final piece of the puzzle. CW yells at them to get serious. He says she's nice but she doesn't belong in wrestling. Women don't belong here because all they are is a distraction. He says there's no crying in ECW, except for Tommy Dreamer after he pinned him. That's not an Anderson, he should have made him tap, but he won't make that mistake. He says he's gonna make him tap and next time, he's gonna make him quit. Because a Dreamer and all his dreams doesn't compare to an Anderson.

GUILTY AS CHARGED: JANUARY 7TH!

A recap of the tag title switch airs.

In the back, the FBI say Doring and Roadkill had ONE lucky night.

In the back, Francine complains to Justin about how she got dressed up perfectly for the PPV and he AGAIN failed to regain the ECW Title. She says he has a bad attitude and she does everything for him and she gets nothing back. She keeps yelling that he's a loser and has no belt and maybe she'll take on Steve Corino for real now. She runs away and Credible kicks the camera out.

A recap of the tag spotfest airs.

In the back, Rhino cuts a promo. He says at the PPV, he treated Spike Dudley like his little bitch. He choked him out and says to bring RVD and Kid Kash. He beat RVD out of ECW. He destroyed Kid Kash. He says he hears Spike wants to bring in his brothers, and he'll go murder everyone in fucking Dudleyville. He says he's just playing with him, and when he's dead, he'll be fucking dead. He yells to say his name. IT'S RHINO. IT'S RHINO. BIG FUCKING DEAL. IT'S RHINO.

A recap of Rhino/Spike airs.

A recap of the main event airs.

In the back, Steve Corino and Jack Victory go into Sandman's locker room and demand the belt back. He throws it at Jack, but then spits beer in his face. Corino attacks Sandman though and throws tables and stuff on him. They leave, but in the hallway, Corino asks for the belt. Jack says he forgot it, so Corino goes back in, but he's ready. Corino leaves and tells Jack they can do it another time. Jack says he'll get it. He goes in and Corino cheers him on, yelling "HIT HIM LIKE YOU HIT THE FANTASTICS!" HUGE POP. Jack falls back out and Corino asks where his belt is. Jack holds up the V and yells HIGH SPOT and collapses into Corino's arms. Corino drops to his knees and yells out NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to end the show.
