Sal E. Graziano has officially been released from his contract on sunday, august 21st, 1998. After a gruesome elbow injury at a house show event, Sal E. Graziano was diagnosed to be out for 16 months. The original decision was to let Sal E. Graziano either sit out his six month deal, or re-sign at an open contract for the next two years. No agreement was made, and Graziano was released of his contract earlier today.

The rumors have been storming around the ecw as of late as far as who will answer Taz's challenge for Anarchy Rulz. Paul Heyman has already decided on the man that will take on the Human Suplex Machine, but he has been able to leave it unrevealed even to his roster. Many have speculated that it is indeed a wwf or wcw wrestler, that has just been released from the companies. WCW's latest releases include Wrath, Brian Knobbs and CW Anderson, but we still haven't been able to find out which one of those men it actually is, if it's one of them at all.

Also, Spike Dudley helped Rob Van Dam and Sabu retain their tag team titles against his older brothers, giving a low blow to their careers once again.  What will the Dudleyz have to say about Spike's latest interference? And what about Taz? The human suplex machine challenged anyone in the world for the FTW championship at anarchy rulz, but his challenge went unanswered for week one.  Will anyone accept his challenge on the upcoming ECW on MTV?

" DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS "

ASBURY PARK, NEW JERSEY

The show begins with Taz strolling down the isle with the FTW championship over his shoulder. He slides into the ring and takes a microphone, speaking out to the crowd with a very angry expression on his face.

Taz: I ain't out here ta' fuck around, alright?

The crowd gives Taz a mixed reaction, surprisingly.

Taz: Last week, Tommy Dreamer "beat me" in a one on one match.. And ya' know what? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK! I came out here tonight because I'm the best thing ecw has goin' for it.

Taz pauses.

Taz: So I'm out here ta' challenge anybody to a match for this belt right here, the prestigious FTW championship. I'm challengin' ANYBODY who's willin' ta' fight the greatest champion in ecw history. It doesn't matter ta' me if it's some random son of a bitch from wcw or the wwf, or even a japanese asshole. I'm throwin' out this challenge for Anarchy Rulz, and it's open ta' ANYBODY.

Taz stops, putting the microphone down and waiting before speaking again.

Taz: And this goes out ta' anyone willin' ta' take my challenge at Anarchy Rulz. BEAT ME.. IF YOU CAN.

Taz pauses again and grins his teeth

Taz: SURVIIIIIVE.. IF I LET'CHU!

Rhino gets back up but Al Snow nails him on his chin again with another shot! Snow covers 1...kick out! Mike Awesome runs down to the ring quickly to take part of the action. Al Snow picks Rhino up to his feet, and tries to get him up for a suplex, but Rhino begins punching him in the gut with some hard right hands. Mike Awesome then suddenly comes from behind and big boots Al Snow off of Rhino. The Man Beast drops to the mat and quietly slides under the ring. Awesome walks towards Al Snow and picks him up by his hair, putting his head right between his legs to hit an Awesome Bomb early on in the matchup, but Rhino comes running back into the ring with a warning sign and smashes it right over Mike Awesome's head! Awesome's still not falling, and Rhino just nails him over the head with it again! This time Awesome falls outside of the ring through the second and third rope. Rhino drops the warning sign and walks towards Al Snow, kicking him in the gut and irish whipping him across the ring, then catching him on the way back with a shoulder block.

Rhino gets back up and raises his arms, before going for the pin 1...2...Al Snow breaks the count.

Cyrus: Doesn't get much closer than that, Rhino must be pissed off.

Al Snow grabs Rhino up for a suplex, which he nails to perfection. He then quickly goes up to the top rope and hits a moonsault on Rhino, covering again 1...2...shoulder up! Al Snow seems to be getting impatient. He grabs head and waits for Rhino to get back up, but Mike Awesome gives him a big boot and sends him flying to the outside of the ring. Now Rhino is back up, and Awesome is taking advantage of it, putting his head between his legs and getting him up, then nailing the Awesome Bomb to perfection! Mike Awesome covers 1...2...Al Snow quickly runs into the ring with head and smashes it all over Mike Awesome, making him crawl over to the corner. Snow covers Rhino 1...2...3!

Lynn and Storm are staring each other down across the ring. They get into a high elbow tie up, until Storm slips out of it and holds Jerry Lynn from behind with an armbar. Jerry Lynn falls to the mat and throws Lance Storm over to the opposite turnbuckle, running towards him and nailing him on the head with a flying enzuiguiri to start the bout!

Storm gets Lynn back up by his hair but he gets nailed in the face with some close fisted right hands by Lynn.

Lynn is going over to check the ref, as Lance Storm waits for him to turn around and nails him right in the face with a superkick!

Joey Styles: What a cheap shot by Lance Storm!

Storm covers Lynn, but the referee is nowhere near consciousness. All of a sudden, Chris Candido comes running out to the ring with a lead pipe. He hits Lance Storm over the head with it, then throws it to the outside of the ring. He climbs up to the top rope and smiles as the crowd chants for him, before he jumps off and nails a perfectly executed Diving Headbutt that will keep Storm down to the mat no matter what. The referee is slowly starting to get back up, and now Candido is making his way outside of the ring. Jerry Lynn sees the situation and begins crawling over to Storm. He puts an arm over him and waits for Jim Mollineaux to crawl over as well for the cover. He begins counting slowly 1......2......3! Jerry Lynn has won it with the help of Chris Candido! Candido walks off the entrance ramp with a smile, staring down Lance Storm.

Winner: Jerry Lynn

Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs. The Dudley Boyz [Tag Team Title Tables Match]

All four men brawl for a few seconds to start the bout. Sabu clothelines D-Von to the outside, then jumps on the top rope and jumps right out on him to knock him down, leaving Buh Buh and RVD in the ring. Van Dam begins nailing Buh Buh with a combination of rights and lefts and some high karate kicks, sending him to the mat with a flying superkick afterwards. He then stands by Dudley and hits a standing moonsault, but obviously not going for the cover as it's a tables match. Sabu is on the outside trying to get a table, but D-Von comes up right behind him and hits him on the back of the head with some right hands. He then takes out a warning sign and tries to hit Sabu with it over the head, but Sabu moves out of the way and D-Von hits the steel steps with the warning sign. Sabu hits D-Von with some right hands of his own to the side of the head. He then quickly climbs up the steel steps and jumps on top of D-Von with a double axe handle smash! Van Dam is on the outside as well, grabbing a table and putting it right outside of the ring

Joey Styles: The first table is comin' on out!

Buh Buh slides under the ropes and tries to hit a right hand on Van Dam, who reverses it and hits a right hand of his own. RVD then kicks Buh Buh in the gut and sets him up right on the table. He looks over at Sabu on the other side and tells him to land on top of Bubba to smash him through the table. Sabu grabs a steel chair under the ring and walks towards Van Dam, who tells him to give Buh Buh an arabian facebuster through the table. Big Dick Dudley is now running down to the ring, and Sabu nails him right over the head with the steel chair before he could even make his way out of the entrance ramp. D-Von grabs the warning sign again and smashes Sabu over the head with it. Van Dam runs over to the scene and gets a piece of the warning sign on the forehead as well, splitting his head wide open. D-Von goes over to Buh Buh and takes him off the table, before the two walk over to RVD and Sabu and grab them up by their hair. Van Dam and Sabu then use a combination of right and lefts, then both Dudleyz being knocked to the concrete by spinning heel kicks. Sabu grabs another table, while Van Dam goes back to get the one he placed on the other side of the ring.

Joey Styles: What the hell are they thinking?

RVD sets the table up in front of the entrance ramp, while Sabu puts the other table right on top of it, without opening it up. He does the same with about three more tables, stacking them one on top of the other and waiting for Van Dam to put someone on it. RVD grabs D-Von up by his head and sets him up right on the four stacked tables, and holds his legs down. Sabu grabs a steel chair and goes back into the ring, where he jumps up to the top rope and looks to hit an arabian facebuster. Nobody can save D-Von now, but.. All of a sudden Buh Buh Ray Dudley comes running into RVD with a right hand, as Sabu jumps off the top rope, Buh Buh throws D-Von off the tables and Sabu lands right on the stacked tables with the steel chair, knocking himself right out cold! Buh Buh tries to get D-Von back into his senses, as they stare down Van Dam and look to set him through a table and win the match.

Joey Styles: Remember now, Sabu going through a table doesn't affect this match, as he fell into it on his own.

Cyrus: You actually need to PUT someone through a table to win.

Van Dam begins nailing D-Von and Buh Buh with some right hands, but both Dudleyz then knock him straight down to the mat with a double clotheline. D-Von runs over to go underneath the ring to grab another table, while Buh Buh is taking care of RVD on the side of the ring. All of a sudden, the cameras take us to D-Von, who opens up the apron and gets sprayed right in the face by some sort of mist! Buh Buh doesn't notice any of this, and D-Von runs into the fan railing, falling back into it. Spike Dudley then comes running out from underneath the ring as the fans cheer incredibly! Spike grabs a table from underneath the ring and places it against the turnbuckle on the outside. He then stands in front of Buh Buh to get him angry. Buh Buh begins chasing him around the ring, until Spike turns around the corner with the table and Sabu throws a chair right on Buh Buh's face! Sabu then uses all the strength he has left to place Buh Buh against the table and run towards him with a spinning heel kick with the steel chair as well, breaking right through the table! Spike raises his arms up as a sign of happyness for the Dudleyz losing this bout. Sabu, Van Dam and Spike walk off, leaving The Dudleyz down to the ring beaten and embarassed by their little brother again.

Winner: Rob Van Dam and Sabu

I'm trying to answer your questions. The only things you're probably right about are Beulah being injured, Rhino not debuting, the Acid Drop and RVD being the tv champion. Hardcore TV is at midnight on America One, which is pretty much a local network. I'm trying to answer all of your questions, it's not my fault if what I got on obsessed with wrestling is wrong. I looked up the tv title history, and it said Bam Bam Bigelow, then Taz or something, and it said that Super Crazy and Tajiri debuted in 98, it just didn't give me a date so I thought it was before august. I'm really trying to answer your questions, I don't know how much better I can do.

Since I forgot to add it in that post.

September 19, 1998: Stevie Richards defeated Jimmy Jannetty for the vacant LAW Heavyweight title..

Stevie Richards wrestled about 30 days after I made him wrestle.

You're right about Raven though, I was wondering why he wasn't in wcw too.

Thanks to Steve Corino for the comments, you're now on my stud list .

This is just the way I started. Bam Bam Bigelow didn't lose his title, he's still the tv champion. I did do research, and look.

August 2, 1998--Heat Wave in Dayton, Ohio at Hara Arena: Balls Mahoney & Axl Rotten b The FBI (Tracy Smothers & Little Guido) in a DARK match, Justin Credible b Jerry Lynn, Chris Candido b Lance Storm, Masato Tanaka b Mike Awesome, Sabu & Rob Van Dam b Hayabusa & Jinsei Shinzaki to retain the ECW Tag Team titles, Taz b Bam Bam Bigelow by Submission in a "Falls Count Anywhere" match to retain the FTW title, Tommy Dreamer & Sandman & Spike Dudley b The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh & DVon & Big Dick) in a "Street Fight"..

There's one question answered. I'm continuing from that point. Taz is the FTW champion, I just haven't done much with that belt yet. Big Dick Dudley did wrestle in that match at heatwave, so I made him wrestle once more on the show. I explained why ECW on MTV isn't a midnight, ECW on MTV didn't even exsist, I just created it as part of the backstory. Hardcore TV is at midnight. RVD isn't the tv champion, I got confused with the dudley dog, that was my mistake. Shane Douglas didn't have any music to cut, and Francine didn't really talk. I made Sandman/Bigelow a huge match to start the show because it was my first ever ECW on MTV, it would kick it off with a bang.

Super Crazy debuted in ECW in 1998 and engaged in a sensational feud with Yoshihiro Tajiri..

Living Dangerously 1998: Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Taz for the ECW Television title in Asbury Park..

Cyberslam 1998: Al Snow defeated Tracy Smothers..

March 1, 1998 - Living Dangerously: Lance Storm & Al Snow (mystery partner) defeated Shane Douglas & Chris Candido..

Wrestlepalooza 1998: Shane Douglas defeated Al Snow to retain the ECW title

That's just what I took the Al Snow part from, maybe he left for the wwf in late August or early september, should I just fire him so he can go ahead and leave like he did in real life?

I can't answer your questions about guys leaving to the wwf, and whatever else you want to ask. This is the roster I started with, and I looked as much as I could for information, but this is all I could find. All I know is that I've been busting my ass with these results and doing the best I can, and all I can get is shit from people because my scenario is wrong. " ummm Im going to avoid commenting on the diary, well, yeah ". What the hell is that supposed to mean? I worked incredibly hard on those results, if there were roster changes to be made because the scenario was wrong, somebody should've told me instead of letting me go through with this, but don't insult my writing, I don't need someone on a message board telling me that my results are crappy, because I know for a fact that they aren't. I did the best research I could do and this is all I came up with, if anyone wanted to help me with it like I ASKED, then they would've, but apparently they waited until I busted my ass for three shows, then told me how shitty it was.

The way I see it. You're right about Corino and Rhino, and probably about Stevie Richards and Beulah, I just didn't know when they debuted, I got confused with the fact that Rhino and Corino debuted in early 1999 with the fact that I'm in late 98. I guess I just boosted their debut up. Corino was already a manager in 98 anyways.

You can't tell me I haven't done any research, because I'm showing you exactly what I did before I started this diary, I don't know where most of those questions are coming from.

- ECW on MTV continued to shock the world with incredible performances by some of the most talented wrestlers in the world today.  The Dudleyz finally picked up the victory they wanted on Spike, smashing him right through a table and putting him out of action for at least one to two weeks.  Tommy Dreamer also defeated Taz in the most gruesome match aired on the show in the past two weeks, throwing Taz right through a table from the inside of the ring to the outside with a vicious Spiccoli Driver.  Shane Douglas made his mark felt on Dreamer as well, screaming at the end of the show that the title belonged to him.  Is Paul Heyman finally going to go through and book this match? The Sandman's been getting stalked for the past week now, but we still don't know by who.  Will the stalker reveal himself next week? Also, a huge blockbuster main event has been signed for next week's show, as Rob Van Dam and Sabu defend the tag team titles against The Dudley Boyz.

The Dudley Boyz vs. New Jack and Spike Dudley

Spike Dudley is in the ring waiting for his tag team partner. New Jack comes out from the entrance ramp, but gets followed by The Dudleyz who begin beating the crap out of him on the outside. Spike stares in shock, as Buh Buh and D-Von powerbomb New Jack into a table that was already set up there and take him out before the match could even begin!

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD, WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!?

They begin slowly walking down to the ring and staring down Spike Dudley, as he doesn't know where to go. He runs to the ropes, then catapults himself over the opposite ropes and on top of The Dudleyz, but gets caught in mid air and smashed into the turnbuckle post by Buh Buh head first.

Joey Styles: BY GOD! That was brutal!

Cyrus: The Dudleyz want nothing to do with Spike's ways tonight.

Buh Buh throws Spike Dudley into the ring and follows up right behind him, squashing him with a body splash. D-Von is getting a table on the outside from underneath the ring. He throws it into the ring, while Buh Buh is still destroying Spike with some power manovers. He then clothelines him to the mat and picks him back up to his feet by his hair. He gets his head between his legs and grabs him up, while D-Von has set up the table right in front of him. Buh Buh then drops Spike right through the table with a vicious powerbomb, laying him right out. The Dudleyz stand in the middle of the ring, looking at the crowd with their eyes completely bugging out.

Buh Buh is consumed with anger at the chants for Spike Dudley. He goes to the outside and grabs one table, while D-Von grabs another and places it on the outside. He then grabs yet another and throws it on the inside. Each Dudley sets a table on each corner, as D-Von picks Spike up and irish whips him to one corner, crashing through one table, then doing the same to the other.

The cameras go backstage in Paul Heyman's office, where the owner of ecw has a big announcement to make. He's seated on his mahogany desk, with a very serious look on his face.

Paul Heyman: Last week, I promised the entire ecw locker room that if they impressed me enough, they'd be getting a one on one title shot against Shane Douglas at Anarchy Rulz. Now as you've all seen, there is a man that has done just that, and that man.. IS TOMMY DREAMER.

The crowd goes wild.

Paul Heyman: Dreamer seems to think that giving Shane Douglas somewhat of a beating last week is enough to get earn him the title shot, and he's kinda' right..

Heyman pauses.

Paul Heyman: You see tonight, in front of this LIVE AUDIENCE HERE IN PHILADELPHIA!

Cheep pop.

Paul Heyman: It will be Tommy Dreamer going ONE.. ON ONE.. WITH TAZ! Now if Dreamer impresses me against the HUMAN SUPLEX MACHINE, then I'll consider booking one of the single greatest matches ecw could ever see, Shane Douglas versus Tommy Dreamer. Thank you.

The fans cheer, as we go back out to the ring.

Chris Candido and Tammy Sytch vs. Lance Storm

Candido and Tammy Sytch walk out to the ring and wait for Lance Storm to make his way out as well. Storm stops at the end of the entrance ramp with a microphone in his hand and speaks.

Lance Storm: I don't know if you guys are quite ready for this.

Candido looks at Tammy with a puzzled expression.

Lance Storm: Let me make this a little clearer. When I said I'd be taking YOU on in a handicap match, I didn't mean Chris Candido and Tammy Sytch versus Lance Storm, so c'mon out.

Lance Storm points to the entrance ramp as Candido seems to be perplexed. All of a sudden, Danny Doring and Roadkill make their way out to the isle and walk right by Lance Storm. The three enter the ring together, as Candido tries to take them all out while punching them all in the face.

Joey Styles: I can't believe that Lance Storm, what a sickening move!

Chris Candido begins nailing Roadkill and Doring with a combination of rights and lefts and some kicks to go with it. He then irish whips Danny Doring into Roadkill, and dropkicks Doring on the back, forcing him to hit Roadkill in the corner. Lance Storm then suddenly comes out of nowhere and superkicks Chris Candido right on the side of the head! Storm is laughing and staring down Tammy Sytch. He grabs her by the hair and flips her right into the ring! Storm then keeps the hold in and has her grabbed by the hair. He gets her back up to her feet and looks to give her a DDT, but Tammy suddenly gives Lance Storm a low blow! Danny Doring sees the action and quickly runs over, grabbing Tammy from behind. Roadkill runs into the ring, he runs towards the ropes and towards Tammy, but she moves out of the way and forces Roadkill to hit Danny Doring in the face with a forearm smash. She then crawls up to Roadkill from behind and hits a low blow on him as well! Tammy covers Roadkill 1...2...Roadkill pushes Tammy right over his head with incredible strength. He gets right back up to his feet and appears angry. He grabs Tammy by her neck with one hand and looks to give her some sort of chokeslam, but Chris Candido miraculously gets back up to his feet and begins nailing Roadkill with some forearm smashes to the back of the head.

Joey Styles: Candido's doing everything in his power to protect Tammy!

Cyrus: The odds are certainly stacked up against him.

Roadkill irish whips Candido into the turnbuckle and tries to squash him, but gets caught with a big boot to the face. Candido then climbs up to the second turnbuckle and tries to nail Roadkill with a double axe handle, but gets caught in mid air and thrown to the mat by a belly to belly suplex! Danny Doring is back up. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle and gives Candido a flying leg drop! Lance Storm gets back in the mix and grabs Tammy Sytch up by her hair. He then grabs her up and drops her down on the mat with a DDT!

Winner: Lance Storm, Danny Doring and Roadkill

We're once again taken backstage much like on hardcore tv. We see The Sandman talking to some workers backstage, drinking up a few beers and shooting the breeze with some other ecw wrestlers, such as Mikey Whipwreck and Tajiri. This "home video" type setting is still on the camera, the date is printed right on the top right corner, and breathing is heard quietly in the background. Sandman then walks off from the scene and keeps turning around, with the feeling he's being followed, as the camera turns off.

Super Crazy vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Tajiri

What a fantastic match this was. Tajiri and Jerry Lynn begin brawling on the outside, before Super Crazy could even come out Lynn throws Tajiri inside of the ring and jumps up on the apron, but Super Crazy's quick enough to get down to the ring and take Lynn by the foot, making him fall face first into the apron, then knocking him down with a snap suplex. He then gets on the apron himself and climbs up to the top turnbuckle, jumping off and hitting a missile dropkick on Tajiri! He grabs the Japanese Buzzsaw up by his hair and nails him on the forehead with some forearm smashes. He then irish whips him over to the opposite turnbuckle and runs to the ropes.

Joey Styles: These guys are givin' it all they've got!

A few minutes later, Lynn picks Super Crazy up and throws him head first into the fan railing, going underneath the ring and picking up a steel chair. He turns back around and Super Crazy is on top of the railing, as he jumps off and superkicks the chair right back in Jerry Lynn's face.

Taz goes right underneath the ring and grabs a warning sign, which he nails Dreamer right over the head with and busts him open with some vicious shots to the head. He then carries Dreamer to the ring, but gets nailed in the stomach with an elbow on his way down there. Dreamer then kicks Taz in the gut and gives him a DDT right on the concrete. He then walks down to the ring and grabs a 2 by 4 covered in barbed wire.

Joey Styles: That's why they call him the Innovator Of Violence!

Dreamer waits for Taz to get back up to his feet, and while the blood is pouring down his left cheek, he smashes the 2 by 4 right on Taz's head, causing him to begin bleeding. He then places it on the ground and picks Taz back up, grabbing his head under his right arm for a DDT, but getting it reversed into a northern lights suplex with a pin 1...2...kick out! Taz gets back up after a few seconds and drags Dreamer down to the ring with the barbed wire 2 by 4 in his other hand. He throws Dreamer into the ring and follows up sliding in and nailing Tommy Dreamer with the barbed wire side of the 2 by 4 right on the spine! Taz then walks back outside and takes out a table, which he throws into the ring. Tommy Dreamer baseball slides and knocks Taz down, while getting back into the ring to set up the table. He places it right in the corner and walks back to the outside to grab another weapon. He takes out a ladder and brings it into the ring, while Taz is getting back in on the other side. Dreamer puts the ladder right around his neck and begins swinging ala Terry Funk. Taz ducks and kicks Dreamer right on the shin, causing him to fall and land with his head on the ladder, snapping his neck beck.

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! THAT COULD BREAK A MAN'S NECK!

Taz takes the ladder away from Dreamer and sets it up near a turnbuckle. He also takes the table and places it normally in the middle of the ring, as he punches Dreamer in the back of the head while he's still on the ground. He then irish whips him and bends over, getting kicked right on the shoulder. Dreamer runs to the ropes but gets caught on the rebound by Taz with a T-Bone suplex that puts Dreamer down on the mat. Taz begins climbing the ladder while Dreamer is still on the ground, crawling towards it. He doesn't have the strength to push the ladder over, so he climbs up and gets to the top right around the time Taz gets there. Taz nails Dreamer with some right hands, until both men are up to the top of the ladder with nowhere to go. Dreamer tries to grab Taz in a suplex position, but Taz quickly reverses it into some version of a T-Bone suplex.

It takes Taz about 35 seconds to get back up to his feet, and it takes his opponent about 55. Taz then shakes off the pain and notices Tommy Dreamer giving him his back as he's getting back up. Taz then runs up behind him and grabs him with a Tazmission! Dreamer is trying to get out of it, but Taz has the hold locked in tightly and is not allowing for The Innovator of Violence to get out of it. Dreamer sees the warning sign he used earlier in the corner, and slowly runs over there to grab it, but Taz's hold is too tight for him to handle. Dreamer then finds a solution by giving Taz a low blow from the front, grabbing the warning sign, turning around and nailing Taz over the head ONCE.. AND TWICE.. AND THREE TIMES! Taz is still not falling, Dreamer runs to the ropes and this time nails him one last time to send him flying to the mat, as he covers 1...2...shoulder up! Dreamer goes to the outside and grabs yet another table. He sets it up right outside of the ring, before going back in and picking Taz up by his head. He looks to the crowd and smiles with his face all bloody. He kicks Taz in the gut and picks him up on his shoulders, catapulting him right over the top rope for a Spiccoli Driver on the outside on the table! He then runs to the opposite ropes and jumps over the top rope, landing right on top of Taz with a body splash! Finnegan covers 1...2...3! What a brutal match.

Joey Styles: This, my friends, is what ecw is all about.

Cyrus: It looks to me like Tommy Dreamer has earned his shot.

All of a sudden, as Tommy Dreamer is slowly getting up and holding his back from the pain, Shane Douglas comes running out of nowhere with his ecw world title belt and nailing Dreamer right over the back of the head with it! Douglas taunts Dreamer screaming "THIS IS MINE!" over and over, until ECW on MTV fades to the black.

yes

I didn't really like Christian retaining, no particular reason really, I just thought Booker T would be a better champ like he was when he started becoming a star in wcw. Haha, I figured I'd go in a different direction and pick Austin Aries, I'm a big mark for Austin Aries, he's one of the only wrestlers I follow on the indy scene. I just think CM Punk is over rated by everyone and always over pushed, I would like to see Austin Aries make a nice mid card champion at some point.

Taz vs. Al Snow

The fans go wild, as Taz makes his way out of the brick set and walks towards the ring, followed right behind by Al Snow. Snow punches him in the back of the head, forcing his towel to fall off.

Joey Styles: Taz is unbelievable Cyrus, I mean, one second Al Snow has the match completely in control, the next it's completely turned around in Taz's favor.

Cyrus: Well Joey, we both know what Taz is capable of, and Al Snow's just about to find out.

Taz waits for Snow to get back up to his feet, then grabs him up from behind and locks in a Tazmission, forcing him onto the mat as Mollineaux walks over. Al Snow tries to hang on but Taz's hold is too tight.

Joey Styles: AL SNOW'S GONNA' TAP HERE!

Al Snow tries to get to the ropes again, but Taz is holding him down in the middle of the ring. Snow keeps trying and beggin for air, until he suddenly taps out and Taz releases the hold.

They enter the ring and begin punching each of the Pitbulls right in the face as the fans chant along with them.

He then picks him up by his hair and throws him inside the ring, while Anthony Durante is getting back up from behind. Mahoney turns around, but he gets nailed with a steel chain shot by Durante, forcing Mahoney to drop his chair to the ground. Axl Rotten is in control of Gary Wolfe inside the ring, and as he's about to nail him with a chair shot, Anthony Durante comes running in from behind and nails him over the back of the head with that same chain.

Blue World Order vs. Rhino, Doug Furnas and Phil LaFon

Doug Furnas starts off the match with The Blue Nova, as the two exchange right hands and blows to the gut, with Nova getting the best of Furnas and sending him to the ground. He gets right back up and gets a headlock in on Nova, but gets irish whipped into the opposite ropes, then clothelined on the rebound.

He then spins around and hits him with a final right hand which forces him to tag in Rhino.

Joey Styles: And here comes the man beast!

Rhino avoids a Blue Meanie punch and steps around it, nailing Meanie in the face with a series of right hands, then trying to scoop slam him, but unable to, he runs to the ropes and knocks Meanie down with a shoulder block. The fans are giving Rhino a mixed reaction. He gets Meanie up on his feet and throws him right on the turnbuckle, squashing him there with a running clotheline that would make anyone into a sandwhich, and forces Meanie to run to his corner and tag in Stevie Richards. Richards stands at his corner and begins taunting Rhino with some sort of belly dancing move.

Joey Styles: HAHA! IT'S BIG STEVIE COOL!

Rhino runs towards Richards but misses a clotheline, and gets superkick right into BWO's corner, where Blue Meanie and Blue Nova molest him with some right hands and just a complete series of annoying moves.

- Last week, ECW on MTV debuted with a bang, with some of the best wrestling we've seen on television in a long time.  Paul Heyman announced that any wrestler who wanted a title shot at Shane Douglas at Anarchy Rulz would have to prove himself first.  Tommy Dreamer did just that.  He completely destroyed Shane Douglas, giving him a Spiccoli Driver right on a steel chair and laying him out, to the joy of his girl, Beulah.  What will Paul Heyman think about that? Is Tommy Dreamer's attack good enough to earn him a title shot? Spike Dudley picked up yet another win against his brothers Buh Buh and D-Von last week.  This week, Spike teams up with New Jack to take on his brothers in a hardcore bout that's anticipated to be vicious.  Also, Lance Storm challenged Chris Candido and Tammy Sytch to a handicap match which was already signed by Paul Heyman and is scheduled to take place this tuesday at ECW on MTV.  Will Lance Storm get his revenge on Candido?

" AN EXTREME DEBUT "

HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM, NEW YORK CITY

The Sandman vs. Bam Bam Bigelow

There's no better way to debut ECW on MTV than with the greatest entrance in the history of professional wrestling, to the sound of Enter Sandman by Metallica. The fans patiently waited for the show to begin, but an eruption bursted out as The Sandman made his way out to the ring through the hundreds of fans in attendance. He slides into the ring, with sigapore cane in one hand, beer in the other, and cigarette lit right up in his mouth. He waits in the ring as the fans keep cheering. Bam Bam Bigelow walks out of the pre-built brick set with his television title around his shoulder. He quickly begins running and drops the belt on the outside of the ring. He slides in and runs towards Sandman, but gets nailed in the face with a singapore cane shot!

Joey Styles: AND ANOTHER!

As Styles points out, another singapore cane shot to Bigelow's head, almost busting him wide open and sending him to the outside. Bigelow's trying to re-group while checking his forehead for any signs of bleeding. Sandman throws the singapore cane out of the way and climbs out to the apron, jumping onto Bigelow with a double axe handle smash.

Joey Styles: Boy it sure looks like Sandman came prepared for this one.

Cyrus: Joey, The Sandman has ALWAYS been ready.

Sandman now grabs Bam Bam by the head and begins carrying him around on the outside of the ring. He smashes his head into the fan railing and listens to the fans giving a huge chant.

Sandman paid too much attention to the fans and allows Bam Bam Bigelow to get back in the match with some stiff right hands to the gut. Bigelow then grabs Sandman by his pants and throws him face first into the railing. Bigelow gets right back to his feet and throws Sandman into the ring again, sliding in behind him and covering for referee Jim Mollineaux to make the pin 1..2.kick out! Bigelow hits the ground in anger and picks Sandman back up to his feet, knocking him back down with a scoop slam, then running to the ropes and crushing Sandman with a body splash, which only gets a two count again. Bigelow, angry, rushes to the outside and grabs a steel chair, throwing it into the ring. He hits the ground with it a few times, waiting for Sandman to get back up to his feet, and as he does, Bigelow nails him right over the head with a brutal chair shot that splits Sandman wide open.

Joey Styles: OH MY GOD! That looked INCREDIBLE.

Cyrus: The only thing that's looking incredible is Bam Bam Bigelow's chance of winning this match right now.

Bigelow doesn't seem satisfied with his work, he waits for Sandman to get back up again and swings, but the chair gets punched right back in his face by Sandman. Sandman picks his singapore cane back up and places the steel chair right on Bigelow's head while he's on the ground. He then looks around at the crowd and begins hitting the chair with the cane as hard as he possible could! He then flips Bigelow over and covers him hooking the far leg 1...2...shoulder up!

Cyrus: This match has been nothing short of fantastic, it's unbelievable.

Sandman kneels over to Bigelow and gives him a finger, going back to the outside and grabbing another steel chair. He walks into the ring, but Bigelow has already gotten up at this point. Sandman knocks him back down to the mat with a hard chair shot that splits him wide open. He places one chair under Bigelow's head, and one chair over it, then climbs up to the second turnbuckle with the singapore cane in hand and jumps off, smashing Bigelow right in between the chairs with the singapore cane shot! Bam Bam's been laid out cold. Sandman climbs over him, as Mollineaux begins the count 1...2...3! Sandman asks for a beer, then stands up on the top turnbuckle celebrating his win, while the fans sing along to his theme song.

Joey Styles: THAT is E.. C.. W.

The fans are still trying to quiet down from the first match of the evening, which foreshadows a night of classics and great wrestling. All of a sudden, the crowd erupts at the sound of Paul Heyman's theme music playing. He walks right through the brick set and stands at the top of the ramp to hear the fans chant his name. He then walks towards the ring and climbs up the steps, entering through the second and third rope and standing in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.

Paul Heyman: THE WAIT.. IS OVER! ECW has finally landed a tv show, right here, LIVE ON MTV!

The crowd goes wild.

Paul Heyman: But you see, I didn't come out here to get a few cheap hometown pops, although I do love being here in New York City.

Heyman extends his arm towards his ear to hear the cheap pop, which he easily gets.

Paul Heyman: Tonight started out pretty well I'd say. Bam Bam Bigelow and The Sandman just TORE THE FUCKING ROOF OFF THIS PLACE! But that's not all we have in store for you guys tonight. You see, when I sat down with the MTV board of directors the only thing I could think about was what great heights we could reach. While Vince Mcmahon is busy having his entire roster lick his ass, we're selling out arenas and giving YOU, the fans, the greatest wrestling that you will EVER experience.. Which brings me to my first announcement for tonight, regarding our next pay per view event, Anarchy Rulz. I'm not going to stand here and hand title shots, does it look like I'm Eric Bischoff? This is how things work around here, you get.. WHAT YOU EARN. Therefore, this goes out to ANYBODY in the back who wants this title shot. If you want it that bad, then you'll do something about it! And if I consider it, well, extreme enough.. Then that's your ticket to Anarchy Rulz, the main event!

The fans continue to cheer, until Heyman begins speaking again.

Paul Heyman: Oh and one more thing. Just this past weekend, as I was going over some contracts and reviewing some stuff I needed to review, I came across a very interesting piece of paper with a very interesting name on it. This very interesting name happens to be working for world championship wrestling at the moment, but that won't be for long, of course. Now to be completely loyal to this superstar's wishes, I'm not going to mention his name until the day he debuts.. I'll just let Bischoff figure it out on his own! So Eric, if you're watching this, and I know you are. FUCK.. WCW.

The fans go wild like they never had done before, as Heyman throws the mic on the ground and walks off, while ECW on MTV goes to a commercial break.

The Dudley Boyz vs. Spike Dudley, RVD and Sabu

Big Dick Dudley and Sabu start off the match. They grab onto each other in a headlock to begin the bout.

Joey Styles: It'll be hard to top the Sandman - Bigelow match for sure.

Cyrus: Well if anyone can pull it off, it's these guys. RVD and Sabu, two of the greatest in this business, and The Dudleyz, I mean, possibly one of the best tag teams in the world right now.

Sabu beats the living hell out of Dudley, forcing him to tag out to D-Von. D-Von runs towards Sabu but he also gets nailed with a few right hands.

Van Dam picks D-Von back up by his head and begins nailing him right on the head with some forearms, irish whipping him across the ring but getting it reversed, then nailed in the neck area by a hard clotheline from D-Von, who nails Van Dam with an elbow drop and covers 1...2.kick out!

We're back in the ecw locker room, where Lance Storm is staring deep into the lense of the camera and speaking.

Lance Storm: I have a very important message to send. Clearly, I was screwed out of my chances at victory at Heatwave against Chris Candido by that BITCH of Tammy, and I'm not going to allow it. Next week, right here at ECW on MTV, I challenge you, Candido, and YOU, Tammy, to a handicap match. Now I've already talked to Paul Heyman about it, so there's no way that you'll chicken out of this one. Candido, GET READY.. TO FEEL.. SOME CANADIAN.. VIOLENCE!

The cameras cut the scene, although that wasen't one of Storm's best promos.

ECW ON MTV OVERALL RATING: 75%

OFFICIAL TV RATING: 3.26

Alright, it's settled. It seems like most of you think a late evening slot would be the better option, and I can't really argue that, it's probably the right time slot for an ecw event. 11 pm to 12 am it is.

There's also the problem of wwe.com not existing in 1998.

I hope that you can turn this around, ECW on MTV at 6 PM is highly unrealistic as Essa pointed out. ECW would likely be on at midnight if it landed on MTV and zscott is obviously not a fan of realism as he thinks that MTV would have ECW replace TRL.
