Now, before I begin I would like to make a few things clear.

Number 1, I am doing this for your entertainment (and to cure my boredom as of late). If you don't like the diary, I can certainly accept your opinion. I'm 100% open to some constructive criticism and will use it to make this diary better. However, flaming and other "B.S" replies will simply be ignored. And While I can obviously do nothing about them, I can assure you, you're just going to look like an asshole.

Numero 2, This diary is not 100% historically accurate as it pertains to ECW in this time period. I don't find this too big of a burden, but some will. So please, bear with me. I'm not sure when my scenario is based, but I'm going to take over in the story as of Dec 1st, 1997. The champions are accurate for the time period. (Although other than Shane Douglas beat Bam Bam for the title, we're kind of going to ignore November 2 Remember 97).

So basically if you're interested in keeping an open mind and just enjoying a different course for ECW through the late 1990's, keep reading. I have a pretty extensive knowledge of ECW from it's infancy to it's prime, so we're not running blind here.

This diary doesn't have much of a back story. We're going to be looking at ECW through the eyes of a fan. The shows will be written almost like a script. There will be dirt sheet reports and interesting news bits throughout. And you'll see I've made a few altercations to the roster.

ECW HARDCORE TV!

12-2-1997

Static fills the screen and quickly clears revealing Shane Douglas with the ECW World Title around his waist, along with Francine ...

Douglas: "Look at me, Francine. I'm living the dream. I'm the World Champion. I have the hottest woman in the business. And .. I ... know something ... THEY don't know." *laughter* "I've got one up on all the insiders, the locker room, the fans, and everyone here at ECW."

*placing the title on his shoulder*

"You see, this title comes with a price. A big one. When you're the best wrestler in the whole damn industry you've got a target right on your back. So, I've used some of my "World Champ" perks to make sure that my belt stays right where it belongs." *laughter*

WENDYS

Do What Tastes Right

We come back from the break and the action has already started in the ring...

Danny Doring vs Skull Von Crush

Doring with a knee to the gut. Doring hits a hard snap suplex onto the canvas. Goes for the cover. 1 .. kickout. Doring puts Crush into a headlock. Crush pushes Doring into the ropes. Clothesline ducked by Doring. Doring connects with a clothesline of his own. Some kicks to the chest of the lying Crush, and Doring hits the ropes. Fistdrop by Doring. Danny Doring picks up Von Crush but gets hit with a right hand to the stomach. Fallaway slam by Von Crush. The pin only gets a 2 count. Crush complains to the ref as he picks up Doring. Doring goes over the head of Von Crush on his suplex. Wham Bam Thank You Ma'am! 1.2.3

Winner: Danny Doring via pinfall

After the commercial Spike Dudley is making his way around the ring to AC/DC, slapping the hands of fans. He enters the ring ..

Spike Dudley vs Rhino

Spike comes at Rhino hard with rights and lefts to the gut, hardly phasing him. A left from Rhino sends Spike flying. He quickly gets back to his feet and charges at Rhino. A clothesline barely budges Rhino. Spike gets more leverage bouncing off the ropes this time and meets a powerslam by Rhino! Rhino covers Spike but only gets two as he picks up Spike by his hair.

Styles: Oh come on. He's just toying with him now ..

After a brief struggle Rhino goes for a "HYUUUUUGGGEEE" atomic drop, but Spike reverses, running up the turnbuckles for the Acid Drop!

Styles: Huh? ...no. Really?!

1...2...Rhino kicks out after two. Spike is on his feet, half in shock as Rhino comes to his feet. Spike composes himself and goes for a second Acid Drop but is thrown halfway across the ring by Rhino! Rhino is waiting in the corner, lurking as Spike slowly makes his way to his feet. Rhino charges and spears Spike to the mat! Rhino places his hands on Spike's chest as the ref makes the 3 count.

Winner: Rhino via ... death? (pinfall)

Styles: I think .... I think he just broke Spike in two. Yeah, Spike isn't even moving ... someone help.

Backstage Taz is in the locker room with his ECW TV title next to him and a towel over his head. Justin Credible enters the picture...

Justin Credible: That's a nice little chunk of gold you got there. What's it gonna take to get that off your hands?

*lifting his head*

Taz: A helluva lot more than you can spare.

*Credible looks Taz up and down and walks out of view, half smiling*

We come back from commercial while Chris Candido and Lance Storm are making their way to the ring. The F.B.I.'s music hits, and they make their way out to the ring.

Joey Styles: Yeah, Nashville, Italy. IS SMOTHERS EVEN ITALIAN?! God .. and what the hell is with that god damn dance?!

ECW Tag Team Titles

Guido & Tracey Smothers © vs Chris Candido & Lance Storm

Guido and Candido start things up with a lockup. Guido is irish-whipped into the ropes. Leapfrog by Guido. Candido bends over for the backdrop but eats Guido's boot instead. Guido slams Candido and wisely holds onto Chris' arm as he tags in Smothers. Smothers and Guido puts the boots to Candido, which draws Lance Storm from his corner. While the referee tries to stop Storm, Smothers chokes out Candido. The ref turns back to Candido and Smothers, giving Storm the chance to attack Smothers with a boot to the side of the head. Storm backs off to his corner, having given Candido his opportunity to recover. Both men return to their feet and Candido whips Smothers into the turnbuckles. Candido props Smothers on the top turnbuckle, but Tracey Smothers retaliates with a few right hands to send Candido back a few feet. Smothers comes back down and Candido ducks a clothesline. Candido suplexes Smothers. Candido tags in Storm and they get their chance to put the boots to Smothers. Guido gets in the way, only to trade blows with Candido. Guido is sent to the outside by Candido. Storm and Smothers are locked up when Storm lets go. Smothers is grabbed from behind by Candido and Lance Storm connects with Tracey Smothers mouth on a brutal superkick. Chris Candido keeps Guido from coming back to the ring and Lance Storm makes the pin. 1 .. 2 .. 3.

Winners (and new ECW Tag Team Champions): Chris Candido and Lance Storm via pinfall

Candido and Storm celebrate in the ring as the static cuts in, ending the show.

[out of character .. or whatever.]

Well, I guess that could have been better, but it's what I got for now. Matches are harder to write than I thought. I hate sounding repetitive when I write, but in this situation I guess it's sort of out of my hands.

Enjoy, nonetheless.

12-9-1997

Static cuts in and out and we see Guido backstage talking with tag team partner Tracey Smothers.

Tracy Smothers: Yeah, but Guido. It don't gotta be like THIS. I mean .. there's gotta be somethin' we could do.

Guido: Y'know what? Yerright. It don't gotta be like this!

Smothers: Ya, see Guido! Wawawawawait ... what are you plannin'?

Smothers: Sal Bellomo?

Guido: Nonono I aint goin' down like that, Tracy.

Caesers Palace

Make Caesers Palace Your Vacation Destination!

We come back from the commercial break and ...

Simon Diamond: Simon has a problem! I am absolutely sick and tired of Philadelphia. I'm sick of the Phillies *cheers gets a smug look*. I'm sick of the 76ers and the Flyers. *cheers gets an eyeroll*. And I'm especially sick of losers like the Phi..

"Loser" hits the P.A. sysem as Mikey Whipwreck makes his way out to the ring.

Mikey Whipwreck vs Simon Diamond

Lockup. Hammerlock by Diamond gets reversed by Whipwreck. Diamond pushes Whipwreck into the turnbuckle. Hip-toss by Diamond. Hammerlock is back on Whipwreck. Diamond slaps Whipwreck around and Whipwreck responds with a few well placed elbows. Bulldog by Whipwreck gets a 2 count. Irish whip by Whipwreck, and another hip toss. Kick to the gut by Mikey. Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge sends Diamond down hard. 1. 2. Another kickout. Whipwreck gets up and is tripped by Diamond. Diamond hits a low blow on Mikey. Firemans carry into a seated rear chin lock by Diamond. Diamond drives his knee into Whipwrecks back. Diamond let's go and picks Mikey up. Bodyslam is reversed and Whipwreck pushes Diamond into the ropes Diamond goes backward and falls into the roll-up! 1 .. 2 ... 3!

Winner: Mikey Whipwreck via pinfall

After the match Simon Diamond is complaining to the referee, accusing Mikey of having his tights. The referee ignores Simon. Such disrespect is apparently warrant for a beating as Simon slaps the referee around before leaving.

We come back from a commercial and ..Bruce Prichard is in the ring?

Joey Styles: Hey! Is that who I think ... is that Brother Love?

*already in progress*

Bruce Prichard: ...well, let's keep in consideation most of the people watching this show, and most of the people here are a bunch of internet nerds. You all know who I am and where I come from. But, unlike some other "superstars", I'm not here to whine about my experiences in the BIG LEAGUES. I'm here to bring my clients, the greatest possible success. *booos .. im assuming because he used to be Brother Love?* But enough about myself, I would like to bring out the man I BROUGHT to ECW. A man who now needs no introduction ... Rhiiiino!

Bruce Prichard stands toward the entrance waiting for Rhino's music to come on. But instead we heard AC/DC! Spike Dudley is making his way to the ring holding his ribs. He climbs into the ring and takes the microphone from. After a few seconds he doesn't say anything ...

dudley_spike.jpg (yeah.)

Spike drops the mic and kicks Prichard in the gut. He sets him up and hits the Acid Drop! Rhino is running down to the ring! Spike rolls out and jumps the barrier into the crowd! Rhino is left with his manager in the ring as Spike waves, walking away into the crowd.

Back from another commercial and newcomer Michael Modest is in the ring. "Walk" by Pantera plays in the ECW Arena and Rob Van Dam makes his way to the ring with Bill Alfonso ...

Joey Styles: Oh wonderful. If Van Dam weren't enough, Bill Alfonso has to come along, too ...blowing that damn whistle.

Rob Van Dam vs Michael Modest

RVD starts off quick with an irish whip and a leapfrog. RVD hits the ground and uses his feet to send Modest flying over the top of him. Leg drop by RVD. *thumbs* RVD runs against the ropes and attempts the Rolling Thunder, but Modest has rolled to the outside as RVD catches himself mid-move. Modest is gaining his composure as RVD flies through the air, to the outside with a suicide dive. Modest and RVD both crash into the guardrail, sending it back a foot or two and causing the crowd to erupt in a "EC-DUB" chant" RVD is on his feet first and grabs a steel chair from ringside. Just as Modest is getting to his feet he's doubled over by a chair to the gut. RVD hands the chair to Fonzie, who holds the chair in front of Modest's face. RVD jumps to the ring apron and hits the Van Daminator off of the ring apron! Modest has a small cut on his forehead. He is rolled back into the ring by RVD, who then climbs the turnbuckles, *thumbs* 5 STAR FROG SPLASH! Fonzie goes crazy with the whistle and the ref counts to 3.

Winner: Rob Van Dam

Fonzie gets on the mic ..

Bill Alfonso: Yeah, baby! R V D *thumbs*. We'll take anyone baby! Taz, you're next daddy! *whistles*

Last commercial ...

Back in the ring Shane Douglas is standing with the World Title around his waist and Francine at his side, rubbing the title. He has the mic in his hands (hmmm?)

Shane Douglas:*boos in the background* Oh, I'm sorry. Don't you all understand yet? You can't be me, you can't have her and you'll never, ever have this belt. *laughs* But I came out here for a reason. I've been getting bored, sitting back there in the locker room watching a bunch of no talent punks take up TV time. So I've decided I was going to come out and issue a challenge. Not just anyone. I want someone who's "extreme". Someone who will give me a challenge. Someone tough as nails. Someone the fans would love to see me go toe to toe with. *crowd cheering* Yeah, that's right. Get out here. C'mon.

Francine looks worried and is trying to stop Douglas.

Douglas: CHRIS CHETTI. GET OUT HERE RIGHT NOW! *Douglas and Francine both laughing and the crowd booing* C'mon! I said I wanted a challenge. I said I wanted tough! Get out he ..

"Enter Sandman" is blaring! The Sandman makes his way through the crowd with a beer (or six), a cigarette and his trusy cane. By the time he gets to the ring he's got a little blood trickling from the forehead. He steps into the ring toe to toe with Shane Douglas who is backing away from him. The Sandman puts his cigarette out in the ring and raises his cane in the air. But Douglas is seen laughing a little when all of a sudden Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy attacks Sandman from behind! Sandman drops his cane and Douglas picks it up. Gordy is going to town on the Sandman with rights and lefts while Douglas holds Sandman's cane, laughing. Gordy takes a few steps back while Douglas canes the Sandman! Terry Gordy lifts Sandman up and sends him back down with a "HYYYUUUGGGGEEE" Spinebuster.

Douglas: It's an insurance policy, you asshole! And let this be a lesson to ANYONE who wants a part of the Franchise. You're gonna have to see "BAM BAM" FIRST. *laughter*

Static cuts in and the show is over...

Hey Bro.

I gotta say, this reminds me of Vintage 1998 ECW. Not the crap on Sci-Fi.

You've absolute got the feel of this diary. I hope you continue it.

Sure as hell, Douglas was right when he said he had one in on the insiders.. I didn't expect Terry F'N Gordy.

Hopefully, you bring in Dr. Death sometime soon.. and then we would have a new Triple Threat.

Keep up the good work.

Thanks, MLW. (Very nice name by the way.)

Anyone else have any opinions? I'm going to continue it regardless, but I would like to hear some constructive criticism. Or just a general opinion.

3rd TV show will be up soon as well as some other goodies.

ECW News and Notes

Apparently nothing is set in stone as far as Terry Gordy working in ECW is concerned. He's accepting bookings for independent promotions, but is said to have enjoyed the atmosphere in and outside the ring at this past ECW TV taping.

We come back and Mikey Whipwreck is in the parking lot near the ECW Arena by himself. A girl comes into view, very excited. She walks up to Mikey and gets his attention.

Girl: Ohmygod. I can't believe it's you. I can't believe I'm actually talking to you.

Mikey: ...*puzzled*

Girl: Mikey Whipwreck! Ohmygod! I'm so excited. *hugs Whipwreck* Oh, my name is Stacy. I'm just such a huge fan.

Whipwreck: Y .. You're serious?

Stacy: Of course I'm serious! Ohmygod. I've loved you ever since you were with Cactus! Well, umm listen ...

*Stacy leans in and whispers into Mikey's ear and the camera fades away*

Joey Styles: There's no way I just saw that. Mikey Whipwreck has ... nevermind.

Credible does a crotch chop and drops the mic as he leaves the ring.

We come back from Commercial and the Dudley Boys are backstage

D-Von Dudley: Buh Buh, how long is it gonna take?! How long will it take for ECW to find some competition suitable for the Dudley Boyz. We are at the top of the ladder, Buh Buh. We've done everything there is to do in ECW. We've held the ECW Tag Team Title 3 times!

Buh Buh: You're god damn right, D-Von. So, here is the big idea. If there is any team in ECW or otherwise who think that they can beat the best f***ing tag team in the business. Come on down to the ECW Arena. Nevermind the smell, and the out of shape pricks. Bring everything you've got.

D-Von: Oh brotha. Tesssstifffffy!

Back to the ring and Shane Douglas makes his way to the ring with Terry Gordy, Francine, his ECW Title and Sandman's cane. The three of them get into the ring and Douglas gets on the mic.

Douglas: *smirking* Oh lord. The hotlines are buzzing The internet is on fire. The Franchise has pulled off the biggest news ECW has seen in years. Who is going to beat Shane Douglas?! He's got Terry f***ing Gordy watching his back. He's bought the best insurance money can buy. And now, the ECW World Title .. no one can take it away from him. NO ONE. I don't care if Jesus Christ himself steps foot in this piece of sh*t, he's gotta get through Terry Gordy first! So come one, come all, I am daring ANYONE with a big enough set to come down here, and try touch The FRANCHISE! *laughter*

Enter Sandman hits and the Sandman makes his way through the crowd. With the help of a few fans he stands on the guardrail and finishes off a beer, smashing it on his forehead when he's finished. Sandman then slides into the ring ..

Styles: There's your answer Shane Douglas!

Douglas and Gordy stomp Sandman as he's getting in the ring. He's able to get to his feet ..

Thanks for the name comment.

I'm now stuck wondering... who is this Stacy chick? And what the hell does she want with Whipwreck?

I also like how you use, Doug Williams as a jobber.. nothing against the man's talent, but I have seen too many diaries on here.. showcasing the stars of the future as the future in '97.

I love the Terry Gordy stuff is working out. I could just imagine Taz vs Terry Gordy.. HOLY $H!T

Is there anyway bro, you could post your save game data for this, if it's EWR.. Because, I'd like to play it.. all the '97/98 games I play, the wages are WAY too HIGH. Like 'Franchise' getting $150,000 an appearence.

Anyways, I LOVE THIS... CONTINUE!

The ECW Hardcore Hotline is reporting that ECW's Television show "Hardcore TV" has been promoted from an 11:00 PM time slot to 10:00 PM on America One. They will also be running for one full hour as opposed to the 30 minutes they had in their 11 PM timeslot. The change will take place immediately.

Several people have written in saying a number of different cable and satellite providers have confimed these reports on their guides.

Nice stuff here. I loved ECW during this time.

TERRY F'N GORDY!!!! I feel better now.

Brother Love as Rhino's manager? Better than Rhino standing alone I guess. No network yet either... oh well.

Dreamer and Sandman always gel well together, but I want to see Dreamer vs. Douglas. These two helped make ECW into what it was at the time.

Kid Kash jobbing makes me sad, but Guido is getting pushed, so I guess I am not to unhappy.

Good stuff so far, the show feels right and I was laughing my nuts off when Stacy was talking to Whipwreak, great stuff. Extra segment should help out a lot!

Your showing good promise in this diary, writing matches is always hard at first but your doing pretty well.

I'm guessing this Stacy chick is Stacy Keibler, either i'm a genuis or completely wrong, either way its all good.

I like the edition of Terry Gordy, something origional and works in well protecting the Heel Douglas.

I like the way your writing the F.B.I especially, keep up the good work man, i'm looking forward to that horribly titled show :blush:

The static cuts in at a new time and Taz is backstage with his Television title. He looks into the camera...

post-50-1163965501.jpg

12-23-1997

Taz: There are very few men in this industry that can say they've beaten Taz in the ring. There are even fewer who can say they've been able to take away something that I hold in as high regard as the ECW World Television title. There's a reason I've held onto this title for over 6 months. I've made the ECW TV title everything that it is today. I don't think for a second that someone like Justin Credible should be getting a shot at my title. He doesn't have what it takes to get in the ring with me. But no one likes taking out the trash. So tomorrow night when I get in the ring with you, Justin Credible, I'm gonna choke you out, and make you wish you never got in my way.

The screen cuts out and we go to commercial...

Back at the arena Steve Corino is making his way to the ring to a chorus of boos. He steps into the ring and gets the mic off of the ring announcer.

Steve Corino: Ladies and gentlemen. I have a major announcement. Now, I understand that none of you are going to like this. But it's got to be done. Tonight ... in this very ring ... you're going to see myself and *rolls his eyes, cocky tone* Spike Dudley ... in a WRESTLING match. *boos* Now it may come as a shock to you, but you're not going to see all the garbage you see every Saturday night out here. And like I said, this may be a bitter pill to swallow. But get used to it, because you're going to be seeing a lot of it as long as I'm around!

Spike's music hits and Corino drops the mic. Spike makes his way to the ring, waving to the fans.

Steve Corino vs Spike Dudley

Corino locks Spike in a side headlock. Spike pushes Corino into the ropes. Spikes bends down but Corino locks in the side headlock again. He turns the headlock into a hammerlock and takes Spike feet out from under him, applying more pressure onto the hold. Corino plays to the crowd only to get boos. Corino with a knee to Spike's shoulder. Corino turns Spike over and goes for the pin but only gets a 1 count. Corino picks Spike up to his feet, and Spike fights back. Spike elbows Corino in the gut a few times. Headbutt by Spike sends Corino a few steps back. Spike bites Corino on the forehead. Spike backs up and hits a body press sending them both to the outside. Spike brings Corino to his feet and whips him into the guardrail Spike runs at Corino, who catches him and lifts him up, dropping him throat first onto the steel guardrail. Corino throws Spike back into the ring. Corino goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Corino is arguing with a the referee and Spike is getting back to his feet. Spike is finally on his feet when Rhino comes running down the aisle. He runs into the ring and starts to brawl with Spike. Corino steps back as the ref tries to break them up. Rhino powerslams Spike and then waits for him as he slowly gets back up. Spike is barely standing when Rhino charges and sends him back down hard with a spear. Bruce Prichard is in the aisle yelling "Gore! Gore!". Rhino leaves the ring, still staring back at Spike. Corino makes the cover and the referee counts it. 1. 2. 3.

Winner: Steve Corino via pinfall by interference from Rhino.

Back from the commercial break and Guido is backstage with Tracy Smother. Guido and Smothers are wearing matching red, green and white tracksuits.

Guido: It's workin' Tracy! I been walkin' 'round the city and everyone is sayin' my name! "Guido this, Guido that".

Tracy: Everywhere I turn I got people askin' about ya! Yer a star, Guido! ECW ain't big enough for ya!

Guido: And can you believe I don't even got a match tonight? They must be savin' me for the big show! Who am I beatin'? Jerry somethin'?

Tracy: Lynn.

Guido: Nah. C'mon. That's a girls name, Tracy. I'm tellin you this guys names Jerry.

Tracy: Yeah Guido. It's Jerry Lynn. Gimme a break, big guy.

Guido: Oh it don't matter. He's just gonna be there to make me look good, anyway.

Back in the ring Doug Furnas is with his longtime partner Phil LaFon. Candido and Storm's music hits and the ECW Tag Team champions make their way down to the ring.

Chris Candido w/ Lance Storm vs Doug Furnas w/ Phil LaFon

Furnas sends Candido into the ropes. Furnas with a shoulder block sends Candido to the mat. Furnas runs against the ropes and Candido lays on his stomach and Furnas jumps over him. Candido gets up and bends over for the backdrop. Furnas lands on his feet after the backdrop. Candido turns around into a hiptoss and rolls out of the ring. Lance Storm helps his partner regain his composure. Candido rolls back into the ring and Furnas locks in a side headlock. Back suplex by Candido. Pin attempt gets a two count.

We go backstage and Shane Douglas is with Terry Gordy and Francine who is holding his ECW World Heavyweight title.

Shane Douglas: Tommy Dreamer! I don't know who you think you are. I don't know what makes you think you had any right getting involved in my match last week. Once again you're trying to be a hero and sticking your big nose where it doesn't belong. And if you're not careful it's gonna get broken..

Douglas takes his title from Francine and puts it around his shoulder.

Douglas: If it's my World Title that you're after. You're going to do what everyone else does and get in line. Because it's my title, my ring, and I'm at the top of the food chain when it comes to Extreme Championship Wrestling. And now you're little fifteen minutes of fame are over. You and the Sandman might walk into the ECW Arena with your heads held high. But when Terry f**king Gordy and I get through with you, you'll both be riding out on a stretcher, getting packed into the ambulance, wishing you never crossed The Franchise!

ECW News and notes

Last night's "Better Than Ever" was attended by a sellout crowd of over 1,100 people. Once again fans had to be turned away at the door, despite it being Christmas Eve.

ECW and America One are apparently happy with the ratings for the new time slot of ECW Hardcore TV. ECW got a 0.37 rating, which is about what they were expecting.

Like I told ya before, Whoo. This is very good my man. I'm sorry, I didn't predict on Better Than Ever. I wasn't on here yesterday. But it was a good, OLD SCHOOL ECW show. Hopefully, we see some RVD vs TAZ in the near future. It will be good. I like the Steve Corino debut, and also I wanna see the "Stacy" storyline progress.

You haven't answered since Friday. Dude, could you possibly post the save game?

12-30-1997

ECW Hardcore TV starts with a new video package, highlighting their top wrestlers. As the video ends we go backstage where Mikey Whipwreck is with .. Stacy?

Stacy: Well, can I do it Mikey?! Can I, pleeeeease?!

Mikey: Well, I don..

Stacy: Pleeease. C'mon Mikey, pleeeeease.

Mikey: You don't really have any experience..

Stacy: Mikey I have plenty of experience.

Stacy gives Mikey Whipwreck a big kiss and the screen fades away.

Commercial

Back from the commercial Steve Corino is in the ring with a microphone..

Steve Corino: Last time I was on this awful farce of a wrestling show I showed everyone exactly what I made of. Yes, that .. Rhino may have interfered and almost killed Spike Dudley. BUT I DIDN'T NEED ANY HELP. I had Spike Dudley exactly where I wanted. But, I digress. This week I have requested another match. Yes, another WRESTLING match. One with a man who is something of a legend. Skull Von Crush. Now, you may be saying to yourself "THAT MAN IS NO LEGEND!" But that is exactly where you are wrong. Skull Von Crush has a long list of wrestling greats in his family. Why, look no further than his last name. The Von Erichs! Baron Von Rashcke! With a lineage like this, what better place to start my anti-hardcore, old school wrestling revolution in ECW!

Joey Styles: That's not gettin you over in Philadelphia, Steve. Try again.

Steve Corino vs Baron Von Raschke

Corino controlled much of the match, utilizing a less than popular "old school" style. Von Crush had a spot in the match where he gained the upper hand on Corino, but a low blow turned the tide and it was all Corino from there. The end came when Von Crush went for a backdrop. Corino hit Von Crush with a knee to the head. Von Crush then caught a super kick from Corino. Corino got the 1 2 3.

Winner: Steve Corino via pinfall.

We go backstage with The Dudley Boys!

D-Von Dudley: PITBULLS! Last Sunday you decided to make your return to the ECW Arena against the Dudley Boys! And while you may have beat us at Better Than Ever, we've got some bad news. You've opened up a whole new set of problems for yourself that you'll wish you'd never gotten into.

Buh Buh Ray Dudley: Ohh, what a glorious way to to return to ECW! Come back and beat the Dudley Boys. The BEST FUCKING TAG TEAM ECW HAS EVER SEEN. No one is perfect. And no one, no team, will win everything. But Pitbulls, I can guarantee that on Sunday, you signed your own death wish, courtesy of the Dudley Boys.

D-Von: Tessssstiffffyyyyy!

Commercial

Back in the ring The Blue Nova is with the Blue Meanie..

Blue Meanie: ECW! This here is the BLUE! WORLD! ORDER! And we've got three words for you! WE'RE! TAKING! OVER!

Rhino's music hits and he comes out with his manager Bruce Prichard.

Joey Styles: This sonofabitch. This bastard Rhino, nearly killed Spike Dudley at Better Than Ever. This man sees red everywhere. I've never seen someone manhandle a man, not even Spike, the way he did on Sunday. I can honestly say I feel terrible for The Blue Nova tonight. No one deserves this.

Rhino vs The Blue Nova

Rhino controls all of the match. Nova got a small amount of offense toward the middle of the match after reversing a powerbomb into a hurricanrana. Bruce Prichard tried to interfere during this time which got The Blue Meanie involved. Rhino hit a lariat on Nova in the ring and went to the outside. He speared Meanie on the outside to save Prichard from a beating. Rhino got a chair from ringside and went back to the ring. He hits Nova with the chair. A piledriver onto the chair seals the deal and Rhino gets the 3 count.

Winner: Rhino via pinfall.

After the wrestlers leave Tommy Dreamer's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. He's bandaged up and showing signs of a beating from last weekends show. He takes a mic..

Tommy Dreamer: Last Sunday night, the ECW Arena saw something it hasn't ever seen before. When the Sandman and I got into this ring, we had every fucking intention to tear apart Terry Gordy and The Franchise. But as tough a son of a bitch the Sandman may be, no one in the world can fight when they're out cold. So that leaves myself against the ECW World Heavyweight Champion and his "insurance policy". And there's no denying it, I got my ass kicked. We were all there, we saw the whole thing. I can't stand here and lie to all of you. But the fact remains that it took two to take me down and pin me. And I can assure you Franchise, it will take nothing short of that in the future. And as far as the future is concerned, that is exactly what I came out here to address. Shane Douglas, I will make this very simple for you. I want your World Heavyweight Title. I don't care if I have to go through that cheap slut Francine or Terry Gordy. So if you're watching this, I've put it out there Franchise. It's all on you now. I declare 1998 the year of Extreme Championship Wrestling and the year of The Innovator of Violence!

Dreamer drops the mic and walks to the back.

ECW Television Title Match!

Taz vs Yoshihiro Tajiri

A very good, even match. Tajiri hit plenty of high flying and martial arts type spots which worked very well with Taz's hard hitting, physical styles. Tajiri hit the handspring elbow and even the tarantula. Taz had some beautiful suplexes. The action spilled to the outside and Tajiri hit an Asai moonsault. Taz belly-to-belly suplexed Tajiri on the outside into the ring apron which caught an "ECW" chant. The ending came when Tajiri hit a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takedown. He hit the ropes for another handspring elbow but Taz locked in the Tazmission. Tajiri taps out and Taz wins the match.

Winner (ECW Television Champion): Taz via submission

Static cuts in and ECW Hardcore TV is over!

Well, I tried the new results method and it looks okay, but the shows seem too short now. It's much easier to write, however.

Anyway, you guys tell me which you like better and I guess I'll make a decision from there.
