So far the show had been an uneven balance of the brilliant and the dreadful, and Sabu was up next which, given his own penchant for wild inconsistency during this phase of his career, meant things didn’t look likely to change much in the next match. Finally, after two hours of trying and offering sacrfices to the gods of cable, with 30 minutes left until the replay starts, Rahim offers to order the show at his house, and if it works there we can fly over there and catch the second showing. Guido is first gone after a Crazy moonsault, after not doing much of note. Okay, but we’ve seen it 100 times before and it was way better then. Tommy promises not to cut a “babyface promo”, then cuts a babyface promo.
God, I thought they were above that sort of thing.
A brawl breaks out, which of course brings New Jack out. Long chinlock follows, then more disjointed spots with a table that require WAY too much cooperation. In the meantime it was saying goodbye to two of their most important acts and at the same time trying to build successful new stars that would carry the promotion into the next century. Lance Storm (w/ Dawn Marie) defeated Jerry Lynn; Jazz defeated Tom Marquez (w/ Simon Diamond) Nova and Chris Chetti fought Simon Diamond and Tony DeVito to a no-contest However, his fight with Justin Credible was actually a good, if unspectacular, collision and much closer to the traditional main event style of ECW before Taz’s elevation to the World Title earlier in the year. The wrestling is nonexistant here. He takes a chair to the top and comes off with a straight chairshot. Good choice for an opener, although Lynn should be pissed about being demoted to the opener again. A lot of ECW stuff I fondly remember, but it doesn't hold up over time. Cyrus and Joey Styles welcome everyone to the show. See, idea is that you’re only supposed to call up the preview channel, and if you see something you like, you press “OK” and then confirm, and *poof*, show is ordered. Having said that, the draw of Van Dam was that his aerial offence was state of the art for the age, nobody performed moves the way Van Dam did, and so his array of impressive high spots carried them through a satisfactory end to the pay-per-view. This was a simple touch which added credibility to the match and a real sense of importance to the occasion.It’s so easy to forget how effective a performer Taz was during his time in ECW as ‘The Human Suplex Machine’. In fact, Lynn was so lost in the shuffle during a year when WWE bought WCW and were able pick from all of the wrestling talent in North America, that he wasn’t even written into being a part of the ECW invasion that rose up during the year. I don’t remember him at all but he’s scheduled to face RVD.
Cool stuff. Also of note, this was the biggest crowd to ever watch an ECW event at just about 6,000 and was on the wwe.com List of 10 Surprising Shows on the WWE Network.Masato Tanaka has a failed interview because he doesn’t speak English. !The former champion has developed a love for fire! More brawling outside and Ballz blades for no good reason. On the one hand they were still the outlaw crew with limited ability but a tonne of heart and a creative genius at the helm, squeezing every ounce of wrestling talent out of his cheaply assembled roster.

We make it at 9:31, so the night wasn’t a total loss. *1/2 – ECW World title: Taz v. Masato Tanaka v. Mike Awesome. Man, Cyrus could draw heat.Cyrus and Styles argue about the “office” that Cyrus keeps mentioning. He says no man wants to be his partner, so Jazz shows up so shut him up. In this particular match the highlight is a humongous somersault plancha that Van Dam performs from the top rope of the ring to way out into the crowd. Email this page to a friend. Brawl to start. – Axl Rotten is out for something or other. And my oh my, but isn’t Taz getting the BIG-TIME heel heat tonight? Interestingly, it’s the first ever ECW show I saw which is when Beulah says that she’s pregnant with Tommy Dreamer’s kid.
He puts Credible through a table (twice) and Justin blades. !The hardcore icon has returned to the land of extreme!
They brawled, they crashed through tables, they put their bodies on the line, they hit each other with weapons, they bled but this wasn’t a mess and delivered in a number of ways. At this point ECW was trying to serve both masters- the ones who wanted the base violence of the past, and the ones who were looking for something a little more sophisticated- especially now that both WWE and WCW had incorporated elements of the traditional ECW style into its programming. Interestingly enough, Doring and Roadkill are accompanied to the ring by Miss Congeniality, better known by her ring-name in WWE- Lita. And in that vein, we get… – ECW TV title match: Rob Van Dam v. Ballz Mahoney. Post was not sent - check your email addresses! Call it 1/2* That shock jock guy, Mancow, and two fat guys escort Raven back to the dressing room. Rotten wanted to be the first man to challenge Mike Awesome for his newly won World Title however, he was interrupted by the Impact Players and Johnny Smith who had decided that they were going to take offence at this and attacked Rotten. The emphasis was on the word ‘man’ and this brought out Jazz (who would later go on to be a multi-time WWE Divas champion). !The Extreme Stud will lead his Full Blooded Italians to victory! It’s so hard to watch anything New Jack related on the WWE Network thanks to the god awful generic music. It was a very well put together recap of the relationship between the two men, unfortunately, they followed it up with another one of those typically messy ECW clusters that is half match, half angle. Wow, that’s ballsy booking from Paul E. Match was pretty much just there. As a consequence this was anticipated as a stand out prior to the show.It also helped the match that the comparisons with the earlier Storm/Lynn match were on short supply- where the opener had placed an emphasis on wrestling and trading hold for hold, these three took to the skies and blasted each other with vicious looking chops and kicks.
