(Let's say that somehow, by a large cash windfall of some sort, Paul Heyman kept ECW(the real ECW), open past Guilty as Charged 2001. One to two shows monthly, with no television to keep my sanity as this is just a fun little side serious side project)

Rhino pinned The Blue Boy with the Gore in 0:14:23.
Rating: * 1/2
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

The Blue Boy put in a much better fight than one could expect in this match but Rhino
was a machine. In his first of two title defenses tonight, Rhino won with the Gore and
will defend the ECW Championship against the Sandman in the main event. Heyman has said
that if Rhino has two belts, he'll have to defend them night after night but how long
can he hold on with the gold.

Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) defeated
The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) when DeVito pinned York
after an elbowdrop in 0:05:20.
Angel suffered an elbow injury. He will be out for approximately 1 card.
Rating: 3/4*

York and Matthews were overwhelmed tonight by Da Baldies in their attempt to get revenge
from the events of Guilty as Charged. One consolation prize is that Angel suffered an
elbow injury and will have to miss the next show because of it. Still a vicious power
bomb and elbowdrop from Devito was more than enough to put down York.

C.W. Anderson pinned Balls Mahoney with the Anderson Spinebuster in 0:11:28.
Rating: -1/4*

Anderson and Mahoney was far from a technical classic but C.W. wants to get back on the
winning track after some losses to Dreamer and tonight he took a step in the right
direction beating Mahoney with the Spinebuster.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Simon Diamond with the Dreamer DDT in 0:02:34.
Rating: *

Simon had a problem with Tommy Dreamer and Dreamer solved it in a quick way, beating
Simon down and pinning him with the DDT in less than three minutes. Dreamer might have
lost a few steps in speed but none in toughness. Afterwards, he challenges the winner
of Sandman and Rhino to a match at Cyberslam.

Nova and Spike Dudley defeated EZ Money and Julio Dinero when Spike pinned Money
with the Acid Drop in 0:04:54.
Rating: *

Spike and Nova win over Money and Dinero, after having their problems with the duo
recently. The Acid Drop that pinned so many big men in the past was the doom for EZ
Money tonight.

Justin Credible and Steve Corino defeated
The Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke) when Credible pinned
Mamaluke with the That's Incredible in 0:25:29.
Rating: ***

A great tag team match, featuring the New Impact Players of Justin Credible and Steve
Corino beating the FBI. Credible and Corino want title shots and defeating the former
ECW World Tag Team Champions is the way to do it.

[Number One Contenders Match for the TV Title]:
Super Crazy pinned Kid Kash after a springboard moonsault in 0:05:19.
Rating: ** 1/4

Balls to the walls encounter as Crazy pins former partner Kid Kash to earn a shot at Rhino and his ECW Television Championship at Cyberslam. Both men have their history, with Crazy scoring a win over Rhino back at Living Dangerously 2000 in the finals of the ECW Television Title Tournament. He got the job done once but can he do it again.

Danny Doring and Roadkill defeated Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck when Doring
pinned Tajiri after the Buggy Bang in 0:17:46.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Danny Doring and Roadkill retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Doring and Roadkill were considered to be the underdogs in this encounter but they rose to the occassion and beat Tajiri and Whipwreck, a team with a bit more polish in their offense. Still the double team Buggy Bag was the end move for this battle between two great teams in the land of Extreme.

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
Rhino pinned The Sandman with the Gore in 0:04:48.
Rating: * 1/4
(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

Rhino won, beating the Sandman in this vintage ECW Match but wait here comes Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn cuts him off. The Sandman saves with the singapore cane and we've got an impromptu match folks.

Rob Van Dam and The Sandman defeated Rhino and Jerry Lynn when RVD pinned
J. Lynn with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:14:21.
Rating: ** 1/2

Rob Van Dam scores the pin in this tag team match, beating Jerry Lynn in the center of the ring. However, Lynn gets on the microphone, saying that he wants to prove to Van Dam that he can beat him decisvely. Thirty Minute Iron Man Match at Cyberslam. Van Dam accepts the challenge and it's on.


Card rating: **


Match observations:

Little Guido has quit after the card, obviously because of some kind of dispute with management. This leaves Tony Mamaluke as the sole Full Blooded Italian for now.

ECW Cyberslam 2/24/01


Tony DeVito pinned Christian York after a crucifix power bomb in 0:01:14.
Rating: *

Squash victory for Tony DeVito over Christian York. This was supposed to be Da Baldies
against York and Matthews but since Angel was out with an injury, there was a coin
toss between York and Matthews for who will face DeVito. York one and got flattened.

Number-One-Contenders-Triangle Match:
Nova and Spike Dudley defeated
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) and
Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck:
        x Spike beat S. Diamond via the Acid Drop in 0:18:51
        x Nova beat Tajiri via the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:25:48
Rating: ** 1/4

Nova and Spike get an ECW World Tag Team Title Shot down the line after winning this
number one contenders match.

Rhino pinned Super Crazy after a piledriver in 0:04:12.
Rating: * 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Rhino's done it again, he's retained the ECW Television Title against Super Crazy and
will go onto defend the ECW Championship against Tommy Dreamer later on tonight.

Balls Mahoney, Chilly Willy and Kid Kash defeated
EZ Money, Chris Hamrick and Julio Dinero when B. Mahoney pinned Money with the
Nutcracker Suite in 0:11:33.
Rating: **

Balls, Chilly Willy, and Kid Kash won this six man battle with the Hot Commodity Trio,
with Mahoney pinning Money with the Nutcracker Suite.

The Sandman pinned Tony Mamaluke with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:22:24.
Rating: ** 3/4


Tony Mamaluke tried to stake out his chance at single's glory and failed to triumph,
with the Sandman beating him with the White Russian Legsweep after over twenty minutes
of brutality.

Roadkill pinned Justin Credible with the Amish Bomb in 0:10:44.
Rating: *** 1/4

Roadkill scored a surprising victory over one half of the New Impact Players in Justin
Credible and not to mention a former ECW Champion. Coming up next, his partner Danny
Doring will square off against Steve Corino.

Steve Corino pinned Danny Doring with the Old School Expulsion in 0:23:03.
Rating: ** 1/2

Corino had a bit more luck than his partner. Still without two decisive victories, over
the World Tag Team Champions, the Living Dangerously Title Shot will go to the number
one contenders, Nova and Spike, and not the New Impact Players.

Joey Matthews and C.W. Anderson battled to a double countout in 0:08:12.
Rating: **

Joey Matthews and Anderson brawled to a rare double countout. The referee gave them
all kinds of leeway but when the brawl reached on the floor for most of the match and
both men looked to injure each other, the referee had no choice but to call for the
bell, stopping the match.

Rhino pinned Tommy Dreamer with the Gore in 0:10:00.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

Another night of two title defenses for Rhino. Rhino bulldozes Dreamer in ten minutes
exactly. Dreamer once again fails to capture the ECW Championship that he held for only
ten minutes previously.

Iron Man Match:
Rob Van Dam beat Jerry Lynn 2 falls to 1:
        x J. Lynn beat RVD via a Frankensteiner in 0:17:51
        x RVD beat J. Lynn via the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:21:12
        x RVD beat J. Lynn via the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:24:13
        x time limit expired (J. Lynn and RVD) in 0:30:00
Rating: *** 1/4

It should be noted that if this was a conventional match, Lynn would have beaten Van
Dam. With that in mind, despite Lynn getting the first fall, RVD came back to win two
more. After the match, RVD gets on the microphone, announcing that he's coming after
Rhino and Heyman walks out, saying that RVD will face Rhino for the ECW Championship
at Living Dangerously on Pay Per View. Can Van Dam finally get to the top of the mountain
or will Rhino throw him down?

ECW Living Dangerously 3/11/01


[Dark Match]:
Chilly Willy pinned Chris Hamrick with the Chilly Driver in 0:10:18.
Rating: DUD

Devon Storm pinned Tony Mamaluke with the Mindbender in 0:20:01.
Rating: ****

ECW Living Dangerously opens up with a bang, as in Devon Storm beating Tony Mamaluke
in an epic match. Storm was recently released from WCW and he wastes no time at all
making an impact with this four star classic with Tony Mamaluke. The crowd was really
into this epic high flying encounter to open up things on Pay Per View.

Triangle Match:
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) defeated
The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) and
Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito):
        x York beat DeVito via the Rebel Yell in 0:04:15
        x Swinger beat Matthews after the Problem Solver in 0:15:19
Rating: * 1/2

This was supposed to be Da Baldies against York and Matthews but Simon and Swinger
interject themselves in this match for a three way dance. York and Matthews eliminate
Da Baldies but York and Matthews fall to Simon and Swinger, who announce after this
match they better get a World Tag Team Title Shot after this match.

Kid Kash pinned EZ Money with the Money Maker in 0:15:37.
Rating: **

Kid Kash beat EZ Money with the Money Maker in a spotty match. Still Kash wants to
be in line for either an ECW Television or World Title Shot so a victory over Money
may get him up the rankins in a hurry.

Rhino pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Gore in 0:10:02.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Rhino beat Mikey Whipwreck to retain the ECW Television Championship in his first of
two title defenses tonight. Suddenly, Tajiri runs out and spits green mist into the eyes
of Rhino but here comes Jerry Lynn and yes...impromptu match between Lynn and Tajiri
right now.

Jerry Lynn pinned Tajiri with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:13:53.
Rating: ***

Impressive win by Lynn against Tajiri. Aftewards Lynn gets on the microphone, demanding
a shot at the winner of the Rhino/RVD World Title Match tonight for the next show.

C.W. Anderson pinned Super Crazy with the Anderson Spinebuster in 0:05:11.
Rating: **

Anderson beats the Insane Luchadore known as Super Crazy. It was a game of speed against
brute force but the power of Anderson was more than enough to combat Crazy, catching
him out of mid air with the Anderson Spinebuster.

Nova and Spike Dudley defeated Danny Doring and Roadkill when Nova pinned
Roadkill with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:12:49.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Nova and Spike Dudley won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The ECW World Tag Team Title reign of Roadkill and Danny Doring comes to an end with
Nova and Spike Dudley winning the belts with Roadkill being put down by a vicious
Kryptonite Crunch. Nova and Dudley have been an impressive team over the past few
shows and their hard work pays off with the ECW Tag Team Titles.

The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer defeated Justin Credible and Steve Corino when
Sandman pinned S. Corino with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:18:32.
Rating: *** 3/4

The new Impact Players fall to the face of ECW in The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. After
the match, Credible and Corino attack both Dreamer and Sandman, laying them out with
vicious shots with the Singapore Canes, drawing massive boos from the fans.

Rob Van Dam pinned Rhino with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:10:11.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Rob Van Dam won the ECW World Title.)

Van Dam has done it after all this time, he has become the ECW World Champion, beating
Rhino tonight! The crowd cheers as Van Dam lifts the belt over his head, finally getting
an honor some thought was long overdue for him. The pressure of defending two titles
caused Rhino to crack and lead to tonight's victory for Rob Van Dam. The era of
RVD has began in ECW but Rhino will be looking for a rematch down the line.

Rating: *

Chilly Willy and Balls Mahoney scored the win in an opening match, between four individuals
looking to climb up the landward. The victory tonight may put Chilly Balls one step
closer to earning a shot at the ECW World Tag Team Titles.

Julio Dinero pinned Devon Storm with the Jalapeno Popper in 0:15:46.
Rating: *** 1/4

Devon Storm could not maintain the momentum of his debut, losing to Julio Dinero tonight,
Dinero manages to make sure that the Hot Commodity Trio does not lose all of their
bouts tonight.

Rhino pinned C.W. Anderson with the Gore in 0:16:06.
Rating: **
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Anderson had a few wins recently but his luck ran out at the hands of Rhino who kept
his Television Title Reign intact with the Gore. Anderson fought hard but it was
curtains for C.W. in a rather short time.

Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck defeated
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) when Whipwreck pinned
S. Diamond with the Whippersnapper in 0:16:39.
Rating: ** 1/4

Simon and Swinger attempt to put together more wins for a title shot but fail to knock
off Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck, an impressive duo to say the least. Whipwreck and Tajiri
are looking to head back into the title hunt and regain the ECW World Tag Team Titles.

Kid Kash pinned Tony Mamaluke with the Money Maker in 0:22:20.
Rating: *** 3/4

Tony Mamaluke needs a tag team partner badly for sure. This is the third match in a row
since striking it on his own that he lost. Kash wins this match and will be in line for
another title shot if all goes well for him.

Nova and Spike Dudley defeated Roadkill and Danny Doring when Nova pinned
Roadkill with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:24:26.
Rating: ***
(Nova and Spike Dudley retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Roadkill and Doring fall for their rematch. Spike Dudley and Nova keep the belts but
without a clear cut number one contender team, it is unlikely we will know who their
next opponents may be.

Jerry Lynn pinned Super Crazy with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:11:33.
Rating: *** 1/4

Lynn really wants the ECW Championship bad. So badly, he can taste it. Lynn won with
the Cradle Piledriver, the second one in a row. The first one was on the arena for,
nearly cracking Crazy's skull like an eggshell.

Steve Corino pinned Tommy Dreamer with the Old School Expulsion in 0:13:07.
Rating: ***

The first battle between the New Impact Players and Dreamer and Sandman end with
Corino beating Dreamer with the Old School Expulsion. Now coming up we'll see how
Sandman and Credible do when they go one on one.

Justin Credible pinned The Sandman with the That's Incredible in 0:09:19.
Rating: *** 1/4

Credible beats the Sandman, allowing the New Impact Players to go 2-0 against their
rivals tonight and put them in line for title shots in the future.

Rob Van Dam pinned Rhino with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:07:16.
Rating: ***
(Rob Van Dam retained the ECW World Title.)

Rhino and Rob Van Dam had their return match with Van Dam scoring a triumphant win over
Rhino. Now Rhino has to go back down to the bottom of the rankings but he still has
his Television Title Belt as a consolation prize.

The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when York pinned J. Briscoe
with the Rebel Yell in 0:07:41.
Rating: ** 3/4

An independent tag team, the Briscoe Brothers got a tryout match against the Young Lions.
York and Matthews were your victors for tonight, but the Briscoes got in some impressive
offense that shows why they may be a staple of the ECW Tag Team Division for some time
to come.

Rhino pinned Nova with the Gore in 0:05:03.
Rating: ***
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

With the Tag Team Division in a state of flux with no clear cut number one contender,
Nova and Spike Dudley took singles title shots against the champions of ECW, and Rhino
mowed down Nova. It is obvious that Rhino is angry about losing the ECW World Title and
thus will redouble his efforts to retain his Television Title Belt.

Danny Doring and Roadkill defeated
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) when Roadkill pinned
S. Diamond with the Amish Bomb in 0:04:24.
Rating: **

Simon and Swinger get blitzed by the former World Tag Team Champions. If Tajiri and
Mikey win their match later tonight, they may be the clear cut number one contenders
based on the disappointing performance of Simon and Swinger tonight.

Triangle Match:
Tony Mamaluke defeated Devon Storm and Kid Kash:
        x Kash beat D. Storm via the Money Maker in 0:21:04
        x Mamaluke beat Kash via the Sicilian Stretch in 0:24:12
Rating: *** 1/4

After a false start, Mamaluke won this Three Way Dance against Devon Storm and Kid Kash.
With more performances like this, his singles career could actually be picking up. It
remains to be seen if this was just a one shot dominance for Mamaluke or if more
wins are forthcoming.

Julio Dinero and EZ Money defeated Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck when Dinero
pinned Whipwreck with the Jalapeno Popper in 0:17:32.
Rating: ***

Tajiri and Whipwreck fall to Dinero and Money, which presents an interesting problem,
on who exactly the number one contenders are. Hopefully we can get this mess cleared
soon.

Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) defeated Balls Mahoney and Chilly Willy when
DeVito defeated B. Mahoney by countout in 0:03:19.
Rating: -1/2*
[Chris Hamrick interfered against Balls Mahoney.]

Even more drama regarding the tag team division, as Hot Commodity(in the form of
Chris Hamrick), cost Chilly Balls the match against Da Baldies. If Chilly Balls would
have won, they could have made the argument that they were the number one contenders.

Jerry Lynn pinned Super Crazy with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:12:27.
Rating: ** 1/2

The second show in the row where Lynn beat Super Crazy. Pretty soon it will be hard
to deny Lynn his title shot against the ECW Champion based off of victories like this.

Four Corners Match:
The Sandman defeated Tommy Dreamer, Justin Credible and Steve Corino:
        x S. Corino beat Credible via the Old School Expulsion in 0:23:57
        x S. Corino beat Dreamer via the Old School Expulsion in 0:31:48
        x Sandman beat S. Corino via the White Russian Legsweep in 0:38:03
Rating: *** 1/4

The Sandman won the four corners match to earn an ECW Championship Match against Rob
Van Dam or Spike DUdley(depending on who wins the main event tonight), at Hostile City
Showdown. Some heat between Credible and Corino for Corino eliminating his fellow
New Impact Player.

Rob Van Dam pinned Spike Dudley with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:08:21.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Rob Van Dam retained the ECW World Title.)

Boy to move up the rankings slightly.

Chris Hamrick pinned Devon Storm with the Confederate Crunch in 0:11:59.
Rating: *** 1/4

Chris Hamrick beats Devon Storm in a match between two top young talents of ECW and
perhaps future Television Title Contenders. Tonight Hamrick is the better of the man
but Storm gets some impressive offense in there as well.

Super Crazy pinned C.W. Anderson with the Moonsault in 0:08:17.
Rating: **

These two men had a match at Living Dangerously and in the rematch tonight, Crazy
triumphed. Anderson beat down Crazy after the match, destroying him with the Anderson
Spinebuster, proving this feud is far from over.

        x Tajiri defeated Roadkill (partner: Danny Doring) after the
Kick Of Death in 0:09:09
Rating: ** 1/2

To solve the problem of there not being a number one contender for the ECW Tag Team
Titles, seven teams were put into a battle royal, where the winners were the number
one contenders and got a title shot at Hardcore Heaven, our May Pay Per View. Tajiri
and Mikey were the winners in this match and will challenge the champions Nova and
Spike Dudley on that night.

Rating: *** 1/4
[Steve Corino interfered against Tommy Dreamer.]

Two men who don't like each other at all but Dreamer was the better man tonight, beating
Credible with the Dreamer DDT. Both men are always in the hunt for the ECW Championship

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) when M. Briscoe pinned DeVito after the
Briscoe Bomb in 0:08:08.

The Briscoes kick up things against Da Baldies. Another duo who wants to make a name
for themselves in ECW, getting a win over two rough and tumble brawlers like Da
Baldies is an excellent first step.

Chilly Willy, Kid Kash and Balls Mahoney when Dinero pinned Willy with the
Jalapeno Popper in 0:23:41.

Hot Commodity have had their share of problems with Chilly Balls and Kid Kash and

victors tonight.

Jerry Lynn pinned C.W. Anderson with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:12:57.
Rating: ** 1/2

Jerry Lynn is obviously angry about being shut out of the title match at Hardcore

challenge to the Heart and Soul of ECW, the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer,
for a match at Hardcore Heaven, to prove that Lynn deserves a title shot.

Rhino, Justin Credible and Steve Corino defeated
Rob Van Dam, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer when S. Corino pinned Dreamer

Rating: ** 3/4

Six man main event with Corino(the number one contender to the belt), pinning Dreamer
to cement his status as the champion. Rhion and RVD had some vicious exchanges, as
Rhino wants one more round with RVD and the ECW Championship but whether he'll get
it or not remains to be seen.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Jerry Lynn with the Dreamer DDT in 0:05:38.

EZ Money pinned Spike Dudley with the Crash Landing in 0:10:35.

Rating: ***

Whipwreck and Tajiri look to be rolling right into Heatwave to become the three time

Tony Mamaluke made Super Crazy submit to the Sicilian Stretch in 0:05:42.
Rating: ** 1/4

Impressive, but short, match between Mamaluke and Crazy, as Mamaluke's singles career

after his crushing loss to Rhino.

C.W. Anderson pinned Spike Dudley with the Anderson Spinebuster in 0:08:37.
Rating: * 1/2

Anderson is the number one contender for the ECW Television Championship after this win

The Blue Boy makes a rare appearence tonight, but he lost to Tony Mamaluke. Mamaluke

the rankings.

The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) defeated
Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) when York pinned Angel with the Rebel Yell
in 0:20:26.

[Chilly Willy interfered against Tony DeVito.]

Rhino pinned C.W. Anderson with the Gore in 0:09:31.
Rating: * 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Rhino wins his first title defense tonight against Anderson. So far no one has really
stepped up to get a shot at Rhino and his Television Title gold, as his reign has
extended to an impressive ten months. He still has a long way to go before he breaks
RVD's record but in time he will get to it.

Justin Credible pinned Kid Kash with the That's Incredible in 0:13:01.
Rating: ** 1/2

Credible gets on the microphone after his win, throwing out a challenge to Rhino, vowing
to win one or both of his titles. A bold statement by Credible but he needs to get in
line if he hopes to win anything, as Rob Van Dam gets title shot and Bam Bam Bigelow
gets his shot at the Hammerstein Ballroom Double Header Weekend.

Tajiri pinned Super Crazy with the Kick Of Death in 0:15:09.
Rating: ****

slow start.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Jerry Lynn with the Dreamer DDT in 0:07:53.
Rating: *** 1/4

Lynn's slump continues, losing to Tommy Dreamer. Two losses to Nova and a loss to
Dreamer is not what the doctor ordered. Meanwhile Dreamer is rebounding nicely from
his crushing defeat to Rhino and wants one more run to the gold.

Steve Corino pinned Nova with the Old School Expulsion in 0:10:26.
Rating: ***

Nova could not translate his success against Jerry Lynn against Corino, who was determined
to do all of he can. The New Impact Players had started strong but they have mostly
gone their seperate ways into singles matches recent shows, the egos too much between
these two athletes.

The Sandman pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:11:17.
Rating: ***

In a shocking turn of events, Sandman handed Bam Bam his first loss since returning
to ECW, mostly by introducing his singapore cane into Bam Bam's skull twice and hitting

Devon Storm pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Mindbender in 0:08:40.
Rating: *** 1/2

Storm scores a second win in two shows over Whipwreck, without Psicosis in the mix
this time. Storm demands an ECW Television Title or World Title Shot but he may
have a good argument should he beat Super Crazy on Night Two.

Balls Mahoney and Chilly Willy defeated Da Baldies (Angel and Tony DeVito) when
B. Mahoney pinned DeVito with the Nutcracker Suite in 0:17:52.
Rating: 1/4*

Chilly Balls rebound with a win over Da Baldies, who are near the bottom of the heap
of a very competitive tag team division for ECW. Still any win is good in putting
together an argument for a chance to become ECW World Tag Team Champions.

Kid Kash pinned Chris Hamrick with the Money Maker in 0:12:16.
Rating: ** 1/2
[Elektra interfered against Kid Kash.]

Kash rolled into a battle with Chris Hamrick tonight. The Money Maker put down Hamrick
and the former ECW Television Champion may be a few steps away from getting another shot
at that championship.

Tommy Dreamer pinned C.W. Anderson with the Dreamer DDT in 0:09:34.
Rating: **

In their first encounter since Gulity as Charged 2001, Dreamer put down Anderson. On
the microphone, Dreamer says one thing has been haunting him and that's Rhino. At
Anarchy Rules, he wants Rhino, both titles, one title, no titles, it doesn't matter,
Dreamer wants Rhino one on one at our next Pay Per View to avenge that one minute loss.
If Dreamer can't beat Rhino, he will retire from wrestling.

The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) when Swinger pinned York
after a powerslam in 0:20:05.
Rating: ** 1/2
(Simon And Swinger retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Still ECW Tag Team Champions, with Swinger and Simon, delivering a huge powerslam, the

A bold promise, as they take on the Briscoe Brothers, who have only been on the big
scene for a few months.

Tajiri pinned Psicosis with the Kick Of Death in 0:10:39.
Rating: *** 1/2

Kick brings Psicosis down for the pin. The crowd pops as Tajiri looks intense, he
wants to regain the ECW Television Championship. Whether if its Rhino or Credible,
that is a question that will be answered soon enough.

The Sandman pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:10:55.
Rating: ***

Bam Bam lost again. The Sandman cuts a promo, demanding that Heyman put him in the
ECW World Title Match, making it a Three Way Dance. Given the fact that Sandman
beat the number one contender on back to back shows, he has an argument to be certain.

Rob Van Dam pinned Jerry Lynn with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:11:35.
Rating: ****

A battle between Van Dam and longtime rival Jerry Lynn doesn't go as planned. Lynn loses
once again and Van Dam pins him with the Five Star Frog Splash. Afterwards, Lynn assaults
RVD with a chair, throwing out a challenge to Van Dam for another match.

Rhino pinned Justin Credible with the Gore in 0:09:39.

(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Rhino retains both belts and remarks considering the Sandman wants a piece of him as well,

          0:24:12.
Rating: ** 3/4

One fall to a finish three way match is won by Da Baldies, defeating Doring and

Da Baldies want gold or to be more specific, the ECW World Tag Team Titles.

Chris Hamrick pinned Spike Dudley with the Confederate Crunch in 0:14:35.
Rating: ** 1/4

Minor upset by Hamrick. Dudley tried the Acid Drop but Hamrick blocked it a couple of
times before connecting with the Confederate Crunch and this scores the pin.

C.W. Anderson pinned Balls Mahoney with the Anderson Spinebuster in 0:13:40.
Rating: *

Anderson beats Mahoney in a brawl. There was very little wrestling but if you can to
see brawling and brutality, this was a match for you. Anderson is one of the toughest
men in ECW and considering that Mahoney is no slouch, he reinforced that image tonight.

Super Crazy pinned Devon Storm with the Moonsault in 0:15:24.
Rating: ****

Classic high impact encounter. Crazy and Storm trade moves. This will be a future match
on future ECW VHS and DVD releases to be sure, as the Moonsault pinned Storm and cut
his winning streak off.

Rhino pinned Tajiri with the Gore in 0:07:01.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW Television Title.)

Both men did more with seven minutes than most men would do with twenty or thirty. Rhino
wanted to get this match done early, as he had some stiff competition in his Three Way
Main Event against the Sandman and Bam Bam Bigelow. Tajiri threw everything at the champion,
chairs, tables, stiff kicks, green mist, but a top-rope power bomb and Gore spelled
doom for his Television Title hopes and aspirations.

Triangle Match:
Mikey Whipwreck defeated Psicosis and Kid Kash:
        x Whipwreck beat Kash via the Whippersnapper in 0:20:52
        x Whipwreck beat Psicosis via the Whippersnapper in 0:24:50
Rating: ****

Kash and Whipwreck were supposed to wrestle but Psicosis interjected himself for
a Three Match. Three great bouts in a row and Whipwreck beat both Kash and Psicosis
with the Whippersnappers. Afterwards, he challenges Rhino to a match for either or
both of the belts. Whipwreck may be in line for a Television Title Shot at the very
least after his commanding performance tonight.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Justin Credible with the Dreamer DDT in 0:07:51.
Rating: ** 3/4

Dreamer and Credible will never get along. Dreamer is set up for a match with Rhino
at Anarchy Rulez but exactly how many belts will be on the line is the question. There
is one more ECW Arena Show between now and then before we get to that point and Rhino
still has to defend the ECW World Championship Match in the main event.

Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) when M. Briscoe pinned
Swinger after the Briscoe Bomb in 0:07:40.
Rating: *** 1/2
(The Briscoe Brothers won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have the Briscoe Brothers winning the ECW World Tag Team Champions,
as your youngest duo to hold those belts. Swinger and Simon treated them like two rookie
scrubs off the street and they got humbled. New ECW World Tag Team Champions and afterwards,
Da Baldies get into the brawl with the Briscoes but Simon and Swinger will be wanting
their rematch.

Nova pinned Jerry Lynn with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:10:29.
Rating: ***

Three straight victories over Lynn and Lynn gets on the microphone, saying that if he
can't beat Nova two out of three falls at Anarchy Rulez, he will never compete in
ECW ever again.

Rob Van Dam pinned Steve Corino with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:11:00.
Rating: *** 1/4

Just as Van Dam pins Corino, Credible interjects with a singapore cane right into his
head. Van Dam is beaten down by the New Impact Players(who appear to be still together,
despite rumors to the contary), before driven down with the Spiked That's Incredible.
It looks like RVD might need some back up to deal with Credible and Corino.

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Triangle Match:

Rating: ***
(Tommy Dreamer won the ECW Television Title.)


Dreamer has done it, he has beaten Rhino to keep his career and ended the ECW Television
Championship Reign of Rhino exactly one year after it began. Dreamer celebrates with
the ECW Television Championship Belt, draped over his shoulder, actually holding gold
over his shoulder this time. The crowd chants "TOMMY" but Dreamer gets on the microphone,
thanking the fans for everything. He holds up the ECW Television Championship Belt
saying that belt has a storied history. That's why he's going to proud to continue
his career for many more months and maybe years to come as ECW Television Champion!

Rating: *** 3/4

teams are 1-1 and will perhaps have a tiebreaker in the near future.

Tony DeVito pinned Kid Kash with the Moonsault Press in 0:10:16.
Rating: ** 1/2

DeVito kicks off his singles career rather solidly against Kid Kash, winning with
a Moonsault. Kash is a former ECW Television Champion and always a top contender, so
DeVito may move beyond Da Baldies soon enough.

Super Crazy pinned Psicosis with the Moonsault in 0:16:04.
Rating: *** 1/2

Epic battle between two luchadores. Some great back and forth action before Crazy
gets the win with the Moonsault.

EZ Money and Julio Dinero defeated Danny Doring and Roadkill when Dinero pinned
Roadkill after a moonsault in 0:16:14.
Rating: ***

Money and Dinero get another win, as they have their ECW World Tag Team Title Shot
locked in for November 2 Remember, regardless of who the champions are.

Tajiri pinned C.W. Anderson with the Kick Of Death in 0:09:52.
Rating: ** 3/4

Anderson is a tough brawler but Tajiri managed to use his mist to great effort before
kicking Anderson's head in. Tajiri is a former ECW Television and Tag Team Champion but
the big title, the ECW Championship is something that has slipped by Tajiri.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) when J. Briscoe pinned
S. Diamond after the Briscoe Bomb in 0:10:52.
Rating: ***
(The Briscoe Brothers retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Simon and Swinger get one last chance but fall short against the Briscoe Brothers.
Jay and Mark, a young impressive tag team, are going to go places in ECW with wins like
that as they continue their reign on Night One of the Big Ass Extreme Bash.

Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Greetings from Asbury Park in
          0:12:00.
Rating: ****

Mikey was defeated by Bam Bam Bigelow in this battle of former ECW World Champions. The
Beast from the East won and threw out a challenge, saying he's not done for the night, so
he wants Van Dam in the ring one on one later tonight. He wrestled a tough battle with
Mikey, so you just wonder if that is wise.

Justin Credible pinned Spike Dudley with the That's Incredible in 0:12:06.
Rating: ***

Spike cut spiked with That's Incredible. Credible is looking at the ECW Championship
Shot but has been pushed to the side by his fellow New Impact Players partner Steve
Corino.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Jerry Lynn with the Dreamer DDT in 0:02:52.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Tommy Dreamer retained the ECW Television Title.)

Lynn underestimated Dreamer and paid for it. 2001 has been full of peaks and valleys for
Lynn, he has suffered his share of setbacks and Dreamer's career has new life breathed
into it with his win over Rhino at Anarchy RUlez.

Rob Van Dam pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:08:57.
Rating: *** 3/4

Taking a second match of the night was not on the table for Bam Bam, as Van Dam beat
him with the Five Star Frog Splash. Afterwards, Bigelow beats on Van Dam and power
bombs him through a table, proving these two men are far from finished.

The Sandman pinned Rhino after hitting him with the title belt in 0:08:15.
Rating: *** 1/2
(The Sandman retained the ECW World Title.)

Blood, Sweat, and Beers triumphed tonight, as the Sandman introduced Rhino's skull to
the championship belt and this put down the Man Beast for a solid three count. Sandman

Rating: ** 3/4

A scary situation tonight as Joey Matthews tears up his left PCL in his knee.
He lands wrong on a move and will be out for some time with this injury.

Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger) defeated
Chilly Willy and Balls Mahoney when Swinger pinned Willy after the
Problem Solver in 0:12:40.

Briscoe Brothers and tonight they stepped into the right direction to do so.

Tony Mamaluke made Psicosis submit to the Sicilian Stretch in 0:10:58.
Rating: **** 1/4

Mamaluke and Psicosis had some great back and forth action, perhaps the sleeper match
of the evening. The Sicilian Stretch being slapped onto Psicosis spelled the end for the
luchadore.

Mark Briscoe pinned Julio Dinero with the Cutthroat Suplex in 0:08:57.
Rating: *** 1/2

The Briscoe Brothers start off the series with Hot Commodity, leading into their ECW
World Tag Team Title Match at November to Remember, with Mark Briscoe hitting the
Cutthroat Suplex on Dinero to pin him.

Jay Briscoe pinned EZ Money with the J-Driller in 0:10:01.

The Briscoes go 2-0 against Hot Commodity tonight but what really matters is the ECW
World Tag Team Title Match at November to Remember when the Briscoes defend against
Dinero and Money.

Rhino pinned Spike Dudley with the Gore in 0:12:10.
Rating: *** 1/4

Spike could not kill one last giant on his way out the door and Rhino plowed Spike over
with the Gore. Afterwards, Rhino hit another Gore and out runs Nova, who gets into it
with Rhino. Nova gets taken down as well but he shows he's come to fight tonight.

Triangle Match:
Nova defeated Tajiri and Kid Kash:
        x Nova beat Kash via the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:16:30
        x Nova beat Tajiri via the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:21:21
Rating: *** 1/4

Despite being the underdog due to a bit of a beating he suffered from Rhino, Nova
beat two other men with the Kryptonite Krunch in this three way dance. He throws out
a challenge at Rhino for a match at November 2 Remember and there is little doubt that
Rhino will accept.

Tommy Dreamer pinned Justin Credible with the Dreamer DDT in 0:09:43.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Tommy Dreamer retained the ECW Television Title.)

The feelgood title reign of Tommy Dreamer continues as he beats longtime rival Justin
Credible, the man who ended his ECW World Championship reign where he didn't even get
to hold the belt. Dreamer has the belt, looking pleased with another victory but there
has to be all sorts of contenders waiting in the wings.

Steve Corino pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Old School Expulsion in 0:05:41.
Rating: **** 1/4

Bit of an extended exhibition for Corino as he prepares for his chance to become ECW
World Champion once again against the Sandman at November to Remember.

[One Last Chance]:
Rob Van Dam pinned Jerry Lynn with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:13:16.
Rating: *** 1/2

Dinero after the Buggy Bang in 0:16:36.
Rating: ** 1/4

for a rematch.

Justin Credible pinned Rob Van Dam with the That's Incredible in 0:09:00.
Rating: *** 1/2

A minor upset tonight, even though Credible is a former ECW World Champion, RVD is a
more athletic competitor than Credible. A singapore cane decked Van Dam and That's
Incredible pinned him. Van Dam will face off against Bam Bam Bigelow at November 2
Remember, where the winner will be the number one contender for the ECW World
Title.

Nova pinned C.W. Anderson with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:10:50.
Rating: ** 1/4

Rhino pinned New Jack with the Gore in 0:09:43.
Rating: **

New Jack makes his return to ECW, accepting the open contract with Rhino, and brought

year after Corino won the title at November 2 Remember, he wins ECW World Championship
number two.

Justin Credible comes out and celebrates with Corino. Until he canes Corino from behind,
drawing boos from the crowd. Credible is assaulting his New Impact Players partner,

Rating: *** 1/4

Another debut for one of the best independent names in the country "The American Dragon"

Danielson scores a second big victory, pinning Mikey with a small package. Whipwreck
and Danielson had a great match for the ages, trading nearfalls and offense but the
newcomer Danielson extended his ECW streak to 2-0, beating Mikey Whipwreck. It won't
be long before Bryan Danielson tastes gold in ECW, as he's already being compared
to great wrestlers like Eddy Guerrero, Chris Benoit, and Dean Malenko, who have
all passed through ECW at one point.

This was scheduled to be a one on one match between Rob Van Dam and Steve Corino but
Justin Credible and the Sandman both got involved, allowing ECW Owner Paul Heyman to
make it a Four Way Dance. Corino looked like he protested, but it appeared to be part
of a master plan to screw Rob Van DAm out of his chance to be champion, along with
taking out the Sandman. Sure enough Van Dam and Sandman were eliminating, leaving
the new Impact Players to fight for the title but Corino pinned Credible. Afterwards
Credible got into it with Corino but the Sandman reentered the ring and caned both
men before Van Dam put Credible through the table with the Five Star Frog Splash!

the rate he is stringing together victories in his short time in ECW.

Simon Diamond pinned Christian York with the Simonizer in 0:08:17.
Rating: ** 1/2

True to his word, Simon beats Christian York. Afterwards, Simon says he has a problem
and that's because he doesn't have gold. He wants a title shot, Dreamer, Corino, or
the Briscoes, it doesn't matter, but if he doesn't get a title shot, soon, he's going
to be very discouraged.

Tajiri has done it, spitting mist in Dreamer's eyes. Dreamer staggers and Tajiri nearly
takes his head off with the Kick of Death. Dreamer gets up, mist in his face, as
Tajiri holds up the belt and thanks Tajiri for helping him rediscover his fire, before
beating him viciously with punches and delivering the Spicolli Driver in the center
of the ring. Dreamer has snapped, he had the gold and now losing it has pushed him

Simon Diamond pinned Christian York with the Simonizer in 0:09:22.
Rating: *** 1/4

Diamond repeats his statements at wanting a title shot before he has a match with
Christian York. He beats York, proving that his loss in the six man tag team match
might have been a one night thing. Diamond says he's not too happy, he wants Corino,
Tajiri, or the Briscoes, or bring some champion over from Japan or Mexico, but Simon
has a problem and Simon wants a title.

M. Briscoe with the Confederate Crunch in 0:23:51.
Rating: ** 3/4
(Chris Hamrick and EZ Money won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The Hot Commodity duo of Chris Hamrick and EZ Money failed where the previous duo of
Dinero and Money did in beating the Briscoe Brothers for the ECW World Tag Team Titles.
Hamerick pinned Mark Briscoe with the Confederation Crunch as the announcers talk about
the respectable run the Briscoes had, beating all comers but considering they're
still rookies, they have a bit to learn and were overwhelmed by Hamrick and Money.

Another new edition to the ECW roster, Paul London, debuted with a bang in ECW, winning
a three way dance, beating both Tony Mamaluke and Kid Kash, an impressive feat. London,
a graduate of the Shawn Michaels Wrestling Academy, is looking to make an impact and
he might have already done so with his Calling London Shooting Star Press.

Rating: ** 3/4

With his partner striking it out on singles action, Swinger tried to do the same but
bit off way more than he could chew in the Beast from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow, putting
him away with the Greetings From Asbury Park. Bigelow wants another crack at becoming
ECW Champion.

Chris Hamrick and EZ Money defeated Christian York and New Jack when Money
pinned New Jack with the Crash Landing in 0:22:50.
Rating: ***
(Chris Hamrick and EZ Money retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Christian York and New Jack are an odd couple for sure but they nearly made the first
defense of Hot Commodity their last, when they signed up for this ECW World Tag Team
Title Match. With Joey Matthews returning soon, York is trying to keep sharp against
the greatest tag teams in ECW and since New Jack is a former multi-time ECW World Tag
Team Champion, he seemed to be the perfect partner.

Tajiri pinned Psicosis with the Kick Of Death in 0:05:46.
Rating: ****
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Six minutes and these two men went balls out. If they managed to last fifteen or
twenty minutes, they could have challenged the Briscoes versus Natural Born Sinners
Match and Tajiri brutalized Psicosis with the Kick to the Head to successfully retain
the ECW Television Title.

Rhino pinned Justin Credible with the Gore in 0:00:44.

Steve Corino and Tommy Dreamer defeated Rob Van Dam and The Sandman when
S. Corino pinned RVD with the Old School Expulsion in 0:21:12.
Rating: ** 3/4

An odd tag team match, as Dreamer is slowly losing his marbles. He got into it with
Sandman and beat him with his own singapore cane. Corino managed to avoid the Five
Star Frog Splash and pin Van Dam with the Old School Expulsion. Afterwards, Dreamer
attacked Van Dam, putting him through the ringside table with the Spicolli Driver,
busting him open, before writing "I'M ECW" on the ring mat in RVD's blood.

Kiss for the pin.

Nova pinned Simon Diamond with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:11:29.

a German suplex in 0:01:59.
Rating: ** 1/2

Joey Matthews returned for a bit of revenge against the men who put him on the shelf,
the Natural Born Sinners. The match barely got under way as York pinned Boogalou with
the German Suplex. The Sinners attack the Lions afterwards and challenge them to a
Streetfight at Living Dangerously.

Justin Credible pinned Kid Kash with the That's Incredible in 0:11:46.
Rating: *** 1/4

Credible rehabilitates himself from his humilating less than sixty second loss against Rhimo, but

time, laying him out in the center of the ring.

when Rocco Rock pinned Money after the Drive By in 0:21:09.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Public Enemy won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)
[Elektra interfered against Johnny Grunge.]

Hot Commodity laid out an open challenge to any tag team in Phildephia and who should
show up but the Public Enemy! The Public Enemy, after a few years out of the spotlight,
returned, attacking Money and Hamrick and Money tasted the Drive By through the table,
as Rocco Rock pinned him. The Public Enemy have captured the ECW World Tag Team Titles
in their surprise return to the company!

Tajiri pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Kick Of Death in 0:13:57.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

To say the Beast From the East was the biggest, most dangerous opponent Tajiri had
to face would be an accurate statement. Bigelow threw Tajiri around but his never
say die attitude slowly got the fans behind him. Green mist to the eyes and kicks, before
Tajiri kicked a chair in Bigelow's face for the pin. Tajiri keeps the title one more
show with his great hard fought performance against Bigelow tonight.

The Sandman pinned Tommy Dreamer after a spinebuster slam in 0:13:01.
Rating: **


Sandman pins Dreamer but afterwards, Dreamer is pissed, mostly because the referee
missed his foot on the middle rope and he attacks Sandman with a chair, yelling at
him to get up and be a man, be "Extreme". Sandman is bloodied and Dreamer drops
to his knees, laughing, before saying that he's not done with the Sandman. Not yet.

Steve Corino pinned Rob Van Dam with the Old School Expulsion in 0:11:26.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Steve Corino retained the ECW World Title.)

This would be Van Dam's final shot at the ECW Championship as long as Corino holds
the belt and Corino triumps. Afterwards, Rhino runs out and gets him some of Corino
but Van Dam is not too happy and he brawls with Rhino, allowing Corino to sneak
out with the ECW Championship and get caned by Justin Credible on the ramp! Credible
asks where his one on one title shot was and Corino is out! The show draws to a close
with this chaotic scene.

Unbooked, with liberal use of the "r" key, so I don't get absurdities like Chilly Willy beating Rhino with a side headlock in thirteen seconds.

S. Diamond after a flying senton in 0:08:06.
Rating: ** 3/4

Nova and London team up against Simon and Swinger on their first time out and score
the win. Diamond's hopes for a title shot go a bit awry as he is pinned again. After
the match, he cuts a scathing promo, demanding a match with Nova at Living Dangerously,
in fact a three way dance with both London and Nova to prove he is the better man. This
is naturally accepted.

New Jack pinned Tommy Dreamer with the 187 in 0:06:58.
Rating: * 1/4

The crazed Dreamer, who lost his mind, and refused to use weapons tonight, was beaten
soundly by a trash can wielding New Jack, ending with a 187 through a table. Afterwards
Dreamer cuts a crazed promo, saying that he never left, he's been here, he throws
otu challenges, he wants the belt but Sandman comes out to cane him and shut up
Dreamer's demented ramblings. These two men will collided at Living Dangerously, where
the winner gets to cane the loser ten times after the match.

The Briscoes rise to the occassion, as they are ready for their chance to become ECW

Boogalou down for the pin, as Mark dove on Homicide. The Briscoes embody the spirit of
ECW, putting their bodies on the line to entertain the fans.

Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Chilly Willy with the Greetings from Asbury Park in
          0:11:05.
Rating: ** 1/4

Chilly Willy was nothing when Bam Bam was done for. Everyone's favorite home boy gave
the former ECW World Champion a battle but the Greetings from Asbury Park folded up
the man, before the pin was scored. Bigelow has his sights set on the gold.

Justin Credible pinned The Sandman after a sitout power bomb in 0:05:53.
Rating: **

Before the match, Tommy Dreamer assaulted the Sandman, delivering a chairshot and a
Spicolli Driver through a table. Credible thanks him by caning Dreamer. He then finishes
off the Sandman, who fights back but a sitout power bomb on a chair spells the end.

Credible gets on the microphone, saying he will be ECW World Champion once again at
Living Dangerously and he reminds us that no one has held that belt as long as he had
since he won it back in 2000 and in 2002, Credible will rebuild the legacy that he
started two years ago. Corino will fall.  Still, Mikey Whipwreck, a former Triple Crown
Champion, has a chance to go for the gold, so it could be Whipwreck/Credible, as
opposed to Corino/Credible.

Tajiri pinned Rhino with the Kick Of Death in 0:07:36.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

First Bigelow, now Rhino! Tajiri blocked the Gore by spitting mist in Rhino's face and
two vicious kicks. Tajiri has beaten the man who held the ECW Television Championship
for a year. It should be noted that Bam Bam Bigelow, Rhino, and Rob Van Dam will meet
in a Three Way Dance to determine a future contender for the ECW World Title and Tajiri
will put that Television Title on the line against Tony Mamaluke, all at Living Dangerously.

Public Enemy (Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge) defeated EZ Money and Kid Romeo
when Rocco Rock pinned Romeo with the Drive By in 0:18:52.
Rating: * 3/4
(Public Enemy retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The Public Enemy, while a bit older, still prove to retain the ECW World Tag Team Champions,
in a fight against the younger members of the roster. The Drive By put Romeo down for
the pin. This was Hot Commodity's return match, with Hamrick bailing and EZ Money
recruiting new member Kid Romeo, but sadly it was for nothing.

Steve Corino pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Old School Expulsion in 0:03:49.
Rating: ** 1/2
(Steve Corino retained the ECW World Title.)

Whipwreck gave it a go but Corino was just too good. Afterwards, Corino talks about
how the Impact Players were a dismal failure and how Justin Credible doesn't deserve
to have the ECW Championship. At Living Dangerously, Corino will put Credible down
and keep the belt in his possession.

The arrogance of Diamond pissed off both men, allowing them to work together and

Rating: *** 3/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

The mist and the kick prove to a potent combination for Tajiri, as he hangs onto the

watches from the ramp, as he has been off in Japan on a tour but has returned.

The Sandman pinned Tommy Dreamer with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:07:48.
Rating: ** 1/4

Sandman wins this match, after using his cane. Dreamer begs off against the caning

with the cane as a result of prematch stipulation. Out comes Mikey Whipwreck and HE
KICKS SANDMAN IN THE GROIN! Whippersnapper brings the Sandman down. whipwreck and
Dreamer exchange a handshake as they stomp Sandman, before handcuffing him to the ropes
and Dreamer beats Sandman with his own cane until it is broken over his head. Rob Van
Dam rushes out to make the save, checking on the Sandman, who has been massacred by
the duo of Whipwreck and Dreamer, who have formed some kind of demented alliance.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Public Enemy (Rocco Rock and Johnny Grunge) when M. Briscoe pinned Rocco Rock
after the Briscoe Bomb in 0:14:44.
Rating: *** 3/4
(The Briscoe Brothers won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The greatest new tag team in ECW fought perhaps the greatest team in ECW history, as
the Public Enemy fell. The PE get up, as they shake hands with the Briscoes and endorse
them. The tag team torch has been passed in the land of extreme and the Briscoes have
manned up to become a true extreme tag team. Public Enemy look pleased that they had
one more run with the belts and are content to walk off peacefully into the sunset. The
Briscoes earned that victory, crashing through several tables, before they fought back
and gave Rock and Grunge some of their own medicine. Still a hard fought win and
the Briscoe Brothers are the two time ECW World Tag Team Champions.

Title Match against the winner of Nova/Tajiri.

Simon Diamond pinned Paul London with the Simonizer in 0:19:33.
Rating: *** 3/4

Diamond scores the win over London and also makes a challenger for an ECW Television

a number one contender but London had Diamond off balance with some high flying offense
tonight, but made a rookie error missing a flip.

themselves to be an impressive win.

former tag team partner in the Unholy Alliance. Whipwreck gets on the microphone,
offering Tajiri a spot in the Extreme Cartel and Tajiri looks around, before he turns
and spits Mikey in the eyes with the green mist to cheers from the fans. Out comes
the Cartel but Tajiri books it. Bigelow, Dreamer, and Credible all shout at Tajiri,
who holds up his Television Title Belt, taunting Dreamer with it. Remember, Tajiri
beating Dreamer for the belt was the thing that started Dreamer's downward spiral
into forming the Extreme Cartel.

The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) when J. Briscoe pinned York

Rating: *** 1/2
(The Briscoe Brothers retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Another day at the office for the Briscoes, as the ECW Tag Team Titles remain around
their waists. The Briscoes manned up and scored the win. There looks to be no clear
cut number one contender as the Briscoes already recently beat the Sinners and they
did win the number one contenders match earlier tonight.

The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) when J. Evans pinned Matthews
with the Corkscrew 630 in 0:11:39.
Rating: **** 1/4

The Next Generation Hart Foundation score the win. Based on the results of the Natural

youngsters could have against the Briscoe Brothers could be a great match.

Kid Romeo pinned Paul London with the Last Kiss in 0:14:46.
Rating: ** 1/2

Romeo is Hot Commodity-less and manages to score a win against Paul London with his
Northern Lights Bomb variaton, the Last Kiss. Romeo has his sights set on gold in ECW
but will this lone success against Paul London tonight, translate into future victories?
That is something that only time can tell.

Natural Born Sinners (Homicide and Boogalou) when Swinger pinned Boogalou
after the Problem Solver in 0:17:11.
Rating: *** 1/2

The Natural Born Sinners lost when Swinger pinned Boogalou with the Problem Solver.
Simon and Swinger celebrate their win but Evans and Hart remind us that they are in
fact the number one contenders to the ECW Tag Team Titles. Paul Heyman comes out,saying
not yet, but the young team can be, providing they beat Simon and Swinger on Pay Per
View at Heatwave. The announcers wonder what the Briscoes plans are, as they are
not the type to sit out a Pay Per View.

Balls Mahoney pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Nutcracker Suite in 0:13:59.
Rating: **

Mahoney scored a win over Mikey Whipwreck, shocking the Extreme Cartel member, using
the chair and the Nutcracker Suite on the chair for the pin. Afterwards, Bigelow,

Rhino pinned Chilly Willy with the Gore in 0:08:26.
Rating: ** 3/4

Chilly Willy, still woozy from his match, is destroyed by Rhino. Rhino gets on the
microphone, angered that he got shut out of the title picture. In fact, he wants the
Briscoe Brothers, at Heatwave, whether or not they have the ECW World Tag Team Title
Belts at Heatwave. Rhino wants to destroy them. Rhino might be a dominant force, but
the Briscoe Brothers are perhaps the greatest tag team in wrestling today.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Nova and Bryan Danielson when J. Briscoe pinned Nova with the J-Driller in
          0:10:16.
Rating: ***
(The Briscoe Brothers retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

J-Driller scores the win, with Nova and Danielson being partners tonight, but opponents
at Heatwave, with the ECW World Tag Team Titles on the line. The Briscoes accept
Rhino's challenge and Rhino comes out, demanding the ECW World Tag Team Titles on the
line. The Briscoes wonder if Rhino has a partner and Rhino growls he doesn't need
a partner. Does Rhino really think he can win the ECW World TAg Team Titles on his own?

Rating: ****
(Steve Corino retained the ECW World Title.)

Corino won another title defense tonight and will be facing the man who he beat for
the title in the Sandman as part of Heatwave. Corino's ECW World Title reign could
very well end the same way it began. Tajiri gave Corino some close calls and some
nearfalls but in the end Corino pulled out the Old School Expulsion to keep the belt
firmly in Camp Corino.

World Title against either Steve Corino or The Sandman at Anarchy Rulez.

Man, I just read each and every show. You did a great job to capture the ECW style booking. Bring this back
The TNM Members ChampPosted on 05/20/09 at 06:55:34

Is this booked or unbooked? I agree with the previous poster. I liked how this circuit was going and it's easy to follow. Sort of reminds me of Oliver's WWE circuit in some ways.

I think if Paul Heyman had managed to keep ECW going, he probably would've gone to a ROH like schedule with the monthly shows until he could get another television network to give him a time slot. Or maybe he would just use the internet.
MattHarmsPosted on 05/20/09 at 22:54:29

I'd say the best way to describe this circuit would be unbooked with extensive liberties. For instance, seventy five percent of the time, I take what TNM7 throws at me unless it's something stupid or I need something to turn out differently for story line purposes. For example, a manager tripping a guy two minutes into the big ECW World Title main event and causing a disqualification obviously wouldn't fly. And also I've been rather lucky that the titles haven't hot shotted around too much, with folks like Corino, Tajiri, and the Briscoes getting rather extended runs for unbooked standards with their respective titles.

And since I have a bunch of cards that I've yet to post, I decided to move through the backlog. I'm up to Guilty as Charged 2003 so let's get rolling with Anarchy Rulez 2002 as I try to work through the backlog.

Results of ECW Anarchy Rulez 9/15/02:

[Dark Match]:
Divine Storm (Chris Divine and Quiet Storm) defeated
The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) when Quiet Storm pinned York
with the Storm Cradle Driver in 0:13:36.

Rating: DUD

The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) defeated
Tony Mamaluke and Vito Lograsso when Harry pinned Lograsso with the
Stampede Powerslam in 0:15:09.
Rating: ** 1/2

The Stampede Bulldogs open up with a solid enough tag team encounter at Anarchy Rulez,
scoring a win over the New FBI and looking to cement their status in the ECW Tag Team
Title Division.

Homicide pinned Boogalou with the Cop Killa in 0:10:20.
Rating: * 3/4

Homicide won this grudge match against Boogalou, beating him handily. The Natural
Born Sinners are pretty much finished and the brutal beating that Homicide gave his
former partner seems to indicate that there will be no reunion anytime soon.

Rhino pinned Kid Romeo with the Gore in 0:14:00.
Rating: ** 3/4


Rhino decided to have fun with this extended beatdown of Romeo, pinning him with the
Gore. Romeo is someone that Rhino felt cost him the ECW World Tag Team Titles and now
Rhino has gotten his revenge, perhaps moving on to other things.

Four Corners Match:
Bryan Danielson defeated Kid Kash, Paul London and Nova:
        x P. London beat Nova via the Calling London in 0:12:54
        x B. Danielson beat P. London via a cobra clutch in 0:31:16
        x B. Danielson beat Kash via the Cattle Mutilation in 0:39:00
Rating: *** 1/4

Bryan Danielson wins this four way elimination match, securing himself an ECW World
Television Title Shot at November to Remember. A classic Four Way Dance between four
of the top young talents. All four men have a future of some sort, if they find a path
that works in ECW.

Justin Credible pinned The Sandman with the That's Incredible in 0:09:17.
Rating: **

The latest chapter between the Sandman and Justin Credible ends with the Sandman getting
caned and Credible pinning him, giving the Extreme Cartel a victory tonight, but they
still have two more matches to go.

The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Teddy Hart pinned
M. Briscoe with the Hart Attack in 0:14:10.
Rating: ***
(The Next Generation Hart Foundation won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have new ECW World Tag Team Champions, as the Next Generation
Hart Foundation walk out with the gold tonight. An impressive back and forth encounter,
if a bit spotty in places. The Hart Attack ends the night for young Mark Briscoe and
Evans and Hart walk out, the belts wrapped firmly around their waists.

Rob Van Dam pinned Tommy Dreamer with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:09:54.
Rating: ** 1/2

Rob Van Dam has beaten Tommy Dreamer, but it did not come easy. Several chairs dented,
several tables crashed through, and a few broken bones before Van Dam hit the Van Daminator
and pinned Dreamer with the Five Star Frog Splash. Afterwards Van Dam wishes Jerry Lynn
luck, because Lynn winning the title is the only way that Van Dam will receive an ECw
World Title Shot in the future, due to him being unable to receive any more shots against
Steve Corino.

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Ladder Match:
Tajiri defeated Mikey Whipwreck in 0:15:52.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Both men fought on the ladder but Tajiri spit the mist and kicked Whipwreck in the
head several times until he was knocked off the leader. Tajiri captured the belt hanging
above the ring and he is still ECW Television Champion. Danielson/Tajiri III is on tap
for November 2 Remember and perhaps this time Danielson can beat Tajiri.

Steve Corino pinned Jerry Lynn with the Old School Expulsion in 0:12:30.
Rating: ****
(Steve Corino retained the ECW World Title.)

Steve Corino remains ECW World Champion for another night. It is hard pressed to see
who could knock Corino off the mountain. He's beaten the likes of Rob Van Dam, the
Sandman, Rhino, Justin Credible, and Bam Bam Bigelow, now adding Jerry Lynn to the list
of this storied title reign.

The TNM Members ChampPosted on 05/21/09 at 03:27:07

Do you have strict pushes on? Maybe that's why? Or maybe they are just strong champions like you said. Glad to see another card. It'll be interesting to see all the ROH guys being integrated because more than likely, that's how it really would've gone had ECW remained operating.

Rating: ** 1/4

Paul Burchill continues his dominance in ECW, beating Mamaluke with a Curb Stomp which
was set up by Mamaluke missing a dive to the floor and cracking his head hard. Burchill
looks impressive, obviously there are big things for his future.

Triangle Match:
The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) defeated
The Young Lions (Christian York and Joey Matthews) and
Simon And Swinger (Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger):
        x Matthews beat S. Diamond via the Future Shock in 0:15:52
        x Harry beat Matthews via the Stampede Powerslam in 0:33:46

Tag Team Title Opportunity as a part of November to Remember. Smith and Wilson are
looking good and they have a chance to knock off the champions.

Mikey Whipwreck pinned Kid Kash with the Whippersnapper in 0:12:34.
Rating: *** 1/2

Mikey Whipwreck wins this match, using the red mist to block Kash's dive and hitting
the Whippersnapper. Afterwards, Nova comes out and gets into it with Whipwreck, setting
up a match as part of Night Two of the Big Ass Extreme Bash.

Nova pinned Kid Romeo with the Kryptonite Krunch in 0:09:32.
Rating: * 3/4

Speaking of Nova, he beats Kid Romeo tonight. Romeo throws a fit and promises to take
it to the tag team division, with a partner he knows he will have some success with
and has his sights set on those ECW World Tag Team Titles.

The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when J. Evans pinned
J. Briscoe after a 450 splash in 0:14:38.
Rating: *** 3/4
(The Next Generation Hart Foundation retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

A pretty good return match for the Briscoe Brothers and the Next Generation Hart Foundation,
with Jay Briscoe missing a flying legdrop and Jack Evans pulling out a 450 Splash for
the pin. Tommorow night, Evans and Hart will defend the belts against Divine Storm
and the winners of that match go onto November 2 Remember against The Stampede Bulldogs.

Tajiri pinned Homicide with the Kick Of Death in 0:09:50.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title against Homicide, nearly kicking his head off.
Bryan Danielson watched from the ramp, he still wants a piece of Tajiri and the ECW
Television Title, at November 2 Remember. Tajiri will put the belt on the line but
as of right now, we don't have an opponent.

Sabu and Rob Van Dam defeated Tommy Dreamer and Justin Credible when RVD pinned
Dreamer after the Rolling Thunder in 0:14:27.
Rating: ** 1/4


Rob Van Dam's partner against the Extreme Cartel turned out to be the returning Sabu,
beating Dreamer and Justin Credible. Sabu looked like he had not missed a beat and
we understand his intentions are having his sights set on the ECW World Championship
Belt. Tonight, we are going to have a return match from Anarchy Rulez in the main
event between Jerry Lynn and Steve Corino.

The Sandman pinned Rhino with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:08:11.
Rating: *** 1/4

Rhino's Gore was blocked by a Singapore Cane shot and the Sandman delivered the White
Russian Legsweep for the pin. The Sandman looked surly and mean and he has his sights
set for the ECW World Championship in the not so distant future.

Steve Corino pinned Jerry Lynn with the Old School Expulsion in 0:17:44.
Rating: ***
(Steve Corino retained the ECW World Title.)

Corino scores the win and retains the ECW World Title. He looks like he may remain
champion some time, as he is going on his second year as champion, all he needs to do
is make it past November 2 Remember as champion.

after a powerslam in 0:11:31.

Rating: *

Paul Burchill continues his mini winning streak, beating Vito, nailing him with the Curb

Bryan Danielson made Kid Kash submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:14:59.
Rating: ****

Bryan Danielson wins tonight, soldifying his latest opportunity to become ECW Television
Champion against Tajiri at November 2 Remember. Danielson delivered the Cattle Mutilation,
putting Kid Kash down. Danielson has his sights set firmly on the gold but can the third
time be the charm?

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Nova and Paul London when M. Briscoe pinned Nova with the Cutthroat Suplex in
          0:16:20.
Rating: *** 1/2

The Briscoe Brothers get back into the tag team rankings, beating Nova and London tonight,
with Briscoe destroying Nova with a vicious Cutthroat Suplex, taking him down for the
victory tonight. The Briscoes are going to watch the next couple of tag team title
matches, involving The Next Generation Hart Foundation against Divine Storm and the
winners fighting the Stampede Bulldogs for the gold at November 2 Remember.

The Sandman pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:12:18.
Rating: ** 3/4

ECW stalwalts and the Extreme Cartel took place tonight.

Rhino pinned Tommy Dreamer with the Gore in 0:05:01.
Rating: *** 3/4

Rhino destroys Tommy Dreamer with the Gore. After a hot start, the Extreme Cartel
look to be fading. Maybe with the return of Bam Bam Bigelow coming up, the Cartel
will rise back up over the top but right now, their prospects for success seem rather
grim.

The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) defeated
Divine Storm (Chris Divine and Quiet Storm) when J. Evans pinned Quiet Storm
with the Corkscrew 630 in 0:16:04.
Rating: *** 3/4

Rating: *** 1/2
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

S. Corino with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:07:27.

Rating: ***

Simon Diamond opens up things wide open tonight, receiving the victory and a future
ECW Television Title opportunity down the road to be cashed in on at any time after
tonight. With Diamond's partner Swinger injured in the dark match, Diamond could
be looking to go for singles glory.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo when J. Briscoe pinned Romeo after the Briscoe Bomb
in 0:17:58.
Rating: *** 1/2


The Briscoes remained in the tag team title hunt, defeating Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo
when Romeo was beaten by the deadly Briscoe Bomb. Sadly, Hot Commodity remains cursed
as Kid Romeo leaves. Elix Skipper may choose to find another partner or go out on
his own.

Paul London pinned Homicide with the Calling London in 0:15:30.
Rating: **** 1/4

An awesome match, with London and Homicide battling for a chance to move up the singles
rankings in the land of Extreme. London ducked a lariat, hit the dropsault and hit
his Calling London Shooting Star Press for the pin. Afterwards, Homicide attacks
London, beating him down in the center of the ring, with a series of vicious lariats
but the official recorded victory goes with Paul London

The Sandman and New Jack defeated Tommy Dreamer and Mikey Whipwreck when
New Jack pinned Dreamer with the 187 in 0:07:46.
Rating: **

New JAck won this match for ECW against the Extreme Cartel, delivering a diving headbutt
through a table, a bodyslam on the chair, and a 187 to score the pin as the Sandman
kept Dreamer at bay by decking him over and over again with the singapore cane.

Tajiri pinned Bryan Danielson with the Kick Of Death in 0:14:36.
Rating: ****
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Tajiri held onto the ECW Television Title tonight with an impressive win. Danielson
was thought by many to be the one to knock Tajiri off but some green mist and a huge
kick to the head changed the attitude of Danielson.

The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) defeated
The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) when J. Evans pinned TJ
with the Corkscrew 630 in 0:09:44.
Rating: ** 3/4
(The Next Generation Hart Foundation retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

A slightly underwhelming match, mostly because of time restraints and lack of experience,
but all four men gave it their all. A return match should be in the works at the end
of the month show at the ECW Arena but Evans and Hart keep the ECW World Tag Team
Titles tonight.

Four Corners Match:
Justin Credible defeated Jerry Lynn, Rob Van Dam and Rhino:
        x RVD beat J. Lynn via the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:24:22
        x Rhino beat RVD via the Gore in 0:25:12
        x Credible beat Rhino via the That's Incredible in 0:28:17
Rating: *** 1/2

The Extreme Cartel really turned things around in a big way, with Justin Credible
picking up the duke to challenge the ECW World Champion, whoever that be, at Guilty
as Charged. Rhino and Rob Van Dam got into it, distracting Rhino, allowing Credible
to deck Rhino with the singapore cane and That's Incredible on a metal folding chair.
Credible will face either Sabu or former New Impact Player Steve Corino.

Sabu pinned Steve Corino with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:08:13.
Rating: ****
(Sabu won the ECW World Title.)

The year long title reign of Steve Corino comes crashing down in a big way, with Sabu
knocking the chair into the face of Corino and putting him down with the Triple Jump
Moonsault. Sabu celebrates with his third ECW Championship in a token of his victory
but he has Justin Credible waiting in the wings and there's no doubt that Steve
Corino would want a return match.

Homicide avenges his loss to London at November 2 Remember but this time, London
knocks out Homicide after the match with the dropsault. A rubber match between these
two men to settle the feud is coming up soon.

Elix Skipper and Kid Kash defeated Vito Lograsso and Tony Mamaluke when
Prime Time pinned Mamaluke with the Play of the Day in 0:18:43.
Rating: ** 1/2

Elix Skipper and Kid Kash were thrown together, and they showed some promise as a tag
team tonight. Skipper says ECW is about to get a dose of Prime Time and says that Hot
Commodity is a thing of the past. Kash has been lost in the shuffle recently, showing
some promise a couple of years ago but really falling through the cracks. Perhaps a
team with a hot young newcomer like Elix Skipper will help push him towards the top.

Simon Diamond pinned Chilly Willy with the Simonizer in 0:12:39.
Rating: **

Diamond gets the win, appearently avenging the injury that Swinger suffered at the hands
of Chilly Willy but Diamond says he's cutting all ties loose from Swinger, he should
have done it a long time ago. All those times that Simon said he had a problem, well
that problem with Swinger. Simon vows to become the ECW Television Champion but no
word on when he'll take his chance at that belt.

Paul Burchill pinned Christian York with the Curb Stomp in 0:14:50.
Rating: ** 1/4

Paul Burchill continues his winning streak in one on one matches in ECW, beating
Christian York with the Curb Stomp. The future is bright for this young man and
if he racks up some more high profile victories, he could be in line for some championship
gold.

Divine Storm (Chris Divine and Quiet Storm) defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Quiet Storm pinned
J. Briscoe after a high speed sunset flip in 0:17:30.
Rating: ***

The Briscoe Brothers were the victims of a mild upset at the hands of Quiet Storm. The
Briscoes felt they needed this win to put themselves back in the title picture and
recapture the ECW World Tag Team Titles but one high speed sunset flip and Jay Briscoe
was folded on the back of his head.

Bryan Danielson made Jerry Lynn submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:18:13.
Rating: ****

Bryan Danielson has scored the upset of the century, beating Jerry Lynn. Not only beating
him, but making him submit. Lynn gets up, saying that lighting won't strike twice.
Danielson tells Lynn anytime he is down for it, feel free to try again. The only
person who seems to be able to defeat Danielson is Tajiri.

The Sandman pinned Justin Credible with the White Russian Legsweep in 0:05:57.
Rating: ** 3/4

Credible has an ECW World Title Shot secured in January at Gulity as Charge and the
Sandman showed him no mercy. Caneshots, chairshots, and a back suplex through the
table. Credible is pinned and the Sandman makes his intentions to become ECW World
Champion for a seventh time well known.

The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) defeated
The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) when TJ pinned
Teddy Hart with the Springboard Blockbuster in 0:19:45.
Rating: *** 1/4
(The Stampede Bulldogs won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The crowd was popping big as the Stampede Bulldogs have captured the ECW World Tag
Team Titles on their second try, with TJ Wilson hitting a Springboard Blockbuster on
Teddy Hart score the pin. A return match between these two teams is inevitable but right
now TJ Wilson and Harry Smith are the ECW World Tag Team Champions.

Tajiri defeated Tommy Dreamer by disqualification in 0:03:53.
Rating: ** 1/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

What could cause a disqualification in ECW? Oh nothing less than Bam Bam Bigelow
making his return from an injury and trying to bash Tajiri's brains in with a cast iron
skillet. When Tajiri was in danger of suffering permanent injury, the referee made
a judgement call and disqualified Dreamer. Not that it mattered with Bam Bam Bigelow,
who worked over Tajiri's arm, trying to put Tajiri on the shelf like he did to the
Beast From the East! Bigelow isn't as interested in the ECW World Television Title
as he is in Tajiri's blood!

Rhino and Steve Corino defeated Sabu and Rob Van Dam when Rhino pinned RVD
with the Gore in 0:15:50.
Rating: *** 3/4

Corino and Sabu is locked in for Massacre on 34th Street, as is Rob Van Dam and Rhino

Kash out with a brutal superkick, before hitting the Simonizer, leaving Kash laying
in the center of the ring.

J. Briscoe after the Stereo Top_Rope Legdrop in 0:14:29.

Two wins in a row for Quiet Storm, who now are cocky enough. The Briscoe Brothers
get up to their feet, getting into it with Quiet Storm and demand a match to settle
the score at Guilty as Charged, a Best Two Out of Three Falls Match. Divine Storm
accept, making a proclamation that they will beat the Briscoes in two straight falls.

Tommy Dreamer pinned New Jack with the Dreamer DDT in 0:05:21.
Rating: *

Dreamer won through devious means, using a staple gun on New Jack and delivering a

Tajiri, as another possible victory.

Rating: ***
(The Next Generation Hart Foundation won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

The Harts blitzed the champions tonight, catching them off guard by using beltshots
at the bell. Afterwards, a ladder came into play with a brawl between both of the
teams. Evans and Hart have regain the titles, but the Bulldogs have the last laugh
and the announcers hint at a possibility of a Ladder Match at Guilty as Charged to
settle the score!

Bryan Danielson made Jerry Lynn submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:12:44.
Rating: *** 1/2

Danielson beats Lynn again, as he missed a somersault plancha to the floor, leading to
Danielson hammering Lynn with a kick to the head and applying the Cattle Mutilation,
making Lynn tap out for the victory. Danielson looks to be moving up the rankings for
yet another title opportunity.

Bam Bam Bigelow and Justin Credible defeated Tajiri and The Sandman when Bigelow
pinned Tajiri with the Greetings from Asbury Park in 0:08:22.
Rating: *** 3/4

Tajiri has been pinned by Bigelow. Bigelow grabs a steel chair and attacks Tajiri afterwards,
bloodying him as Credible and Sandman exchanged punches in the career. Bam Bam Bigelow
holds up the ECW Television Title Belt and drops it on Tajiri's bloodied carcass.

Rhino pinned Rob Van Dam with the Gore in 0:14:15.
Rating: *** 3/4

Rhino wins the first match in the Best of Three Series, folding RVD on the back of his
head with a huge top rope power bomb before stepping back and brutalizing Van Dam
with the most vicious Gore ever. Van Dam was spitting up blood as Rhino scored the pin.
The second match will be at Holiday Hell in two weeks and then if needed, the finale
will be at Guilty as Charged, with the winner of the series challenging for the ECw
World Title at Living Dangerously.

Sabu pinned Steve Corino with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:11:02.
Rating: ****
(Sabu retained the ECW World Title.)

Sabu kept the belt, knocking Corino loopy with an Arabian Facebuster before hitting

Champions.

Bryan Danielson defeated Jerry Lynn when Jerry Lynn passed out in the
Cattle Mutilation in 0:08:13.
Rating: ****

Danielson is another person who has the number of someone, in this case, Jerry Lynn,
rendering him unconcious in the Cattle Mutilation. Despite losing several matches to
Tajiri, after a chance to step back, Danielson might be ready to go for the ECW
Television Title one more time.

Tajiri pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Kick Of Death in 0:09:17.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Bam Bam Bigelow's attempt at revenge was not enough as Tajiri spit mist in the eyes
of Bigelow to counter the Greetings From Asbury Park and slide down, before kicking
in Bigelow's skull. Tajiri wins again and we understand he is trying to break Rob
Van Dam's record as ECW Television Champion. A lofty goal to be sure!

and insane high spots, not to mention some brutality involving smashing wrestlers
into ladders concluded this match.

Rhino pinned Rob Van Dam with the Gore in 0:13:00.
Rating: **** 1/4

The crowd is in shock as Rob Van Dam fell short to Rhino, trying for a springboard
off of a chair and getting Gored in midair. Rhino goes for his third ECw World Title
as part of Living Dangerously in March and Van Dam looks downtrodden, he has been
shut out of the title picture.

Sabu pinned Justin Credible with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:11:45.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Sabu retained the ECW World Title.)

That's Incredible nearly won the belt but the second rope is reversed into an inverted

picking up the victory and perhaps moving forwards up the ECW rankings.

Jerry Lynn pinned Chilly Willy with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:11:12.
Rating: ****

Jerry Lynn was not happy with this match, suggesting that he was beneath Chilly WIlly.

Rating: *** 1/4

Raven lead Mikey Whipwreck to a victory in this number one contenders match, earning
the Extreme Cartel a match against the ECW WOrld Tag Team Champions at Living Dangerously.
The Stampede Bulldogs were impressive but Raven's vicious Evenflow DDT spelled doom
for Harry Smith and put him down for the victory. Raven cuts a promo, vowing to finally
bring gold into the Extreme Cartel. A previous Extreme Cartel duo of Justin Credible
and Mikey Whipwreck failed to win the ECW World Tag Team Titles back in August, will
Whipwreck and Raven succeed where they failed?

Bryan Danielson made Tommy Dreamer submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:12:46.
Rating: *** 3/4

Danielson is on fire, tapping out Tommy Dreamer tonight. Danielson has all the tools
and some big wins, but the one thing he's missing is championship credentials. Should
he strike gold, he could be considered to be one of the all time greats and that might
be sooner rather than later.

Homicide pinned Kid Kash with the Cop Killa in 0:17:44.
Rating: *** 1/4

Speaking of promising up and coming superstars, Homicide scores the win over Kid Kash,
who began to get more and more frustrated with each failed nearfall. Homicide hit a
lariat and Cop Killa to put down Kash. Like Danielson, Homicide needs gold around his
waist and he may get it before long, but it just shows how heated the competition is
in ECW.

Tajiri pinned Teddy Hart with the Kick Of Death in 0:11:29.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Teddy Hart attempted to add more gold in additional to

not before giving Tajiri a tough effort before going down. The crowd thought there
might be a title change but Tajiri proved otherwise. Simon Diamond is waiting in the
wings, the next challenger for Tajiri at Living Dangerously.

Rob Van Dam and Sabu defeated Rhino and Simon Diamond when Sabu pinned
S. Diamond after a ropeflip moonsault in 0:29:06.
Rating: ****

Dream partner tag match leading to the ECW World Title match at Living Dangerously,
with Sabu making a pick of Rob Van Dam, a man he has held tag team gold in the past and
Rhino making a surprising pick in Simon Diamond, who has an ECW Television Title shot
locked in but has no previous history with Rhino. Still Diamond held his own in this
match before Sabu overwhelmed him with a ropeflip moonsault for the pin as Rhino was
held off with Van Dam. Sabu and Rhino for the ECW World Title at Living Dangerously
will be a match to remember.

Rating: **** 1/4

Another impressive win by Danielson, who seems to get more determined with every

Skipper in the head several times, set up the Cattle Mutilation for the tap out victory.

Simon is one card away from finally getting an ECW Television TItle opportunity that
the cocky superstar thinks is long overdue for him. He has to face Tajiri, who is

with the Hart Attack in 0:23:31.

a bit too lightly and nearly lost. After a long, twenty three minute plus battle,
Hart hit his Hart Attack Shooting Star Press on York. The Next Generation Hart Foundation
is looking to extend their legacy by defeating two former ECW World Champions in Mikey
Whipwreck and Raven at Living Dangerously.

Bryan Danielson made Homicide submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:17:16.
Rating: **** 1/4

Another victory for Bryan Danielson who looks bored after this match before he throws
out an open contract to have a match between him and any superstar in the world at
Living Dangerously. There are a lot of talented individuals out there that might
cause Mr. Danielson to regret his cries for competition.

Danielson's open challenge was answered by one of the top competitors on the indepedent
scene, Christopher Daniels. Daniels and Danielson had a good match for the time
they had with Daniels pulling out the win. Suprisingly, Danielson was not upset
with the loss but rather pleased that he had found some competition to quench his

Surprisingly, the Briscoe Brothers were eliminated first, with Nova and London follwowing,
but even in ECW, there are time limits and the time ran out for this four way dance,
before Burchill and McGuiness and the Stampede BUlldogs could get a winner. This means
that there are no number one contenders for the ECW World Tag Team Titles after tonight.

destroys Kash beating him down and slamming him through two tables at ringside with
vicious Awesome Bombs. An impromptu match starts and Awesome toys with Kash, hitting
a helicopter slam and an elbowdrop. Last time Awesome was around, he took the ECW

vicious then ever, the echoes his past, the Fat Chick Thriller, that 70s Guy, and
languishing in independent purgatory having caused him to snap.

in two weeks time for a tables match. Kash might be biting off more than he can chew,
as Awesome would eat him alive in that match but at the same time, Kash has knocked
off some tough competition in ECW.

The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) defeated
Divine Storm (Chris Divine and Quiet Storm) when J. Briscoe pinned Quiet Storm
after the Briscoe Bomb in 0:04:12.
Rating: ***

The Briscoe Brothers win this match in decisive fashion, intriguing continue they've
had their problems with Divine Storm in the past and winning tonight has put them
in line for a tag team title opportunity after the tag team match involving Burchill/
McGuiness against The Next Generation Hart Foundation takes place at Hardcore Heaven.

Jerry Lynn pinned Mikey Whipwreck with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:10:17.
Rating: *** 3/4

Jerry Lynn shows some moves leading into his match with the winner of Sabu/Rhino at
Hardcore Heaven in May for a chance to regain the ECW World Title. Whipwreck showed
why he is one of the top faces in the Extreme Cartel but Lynn's Cradle Piledriver
showed the entire world why he's the number one contender.

Tajiri made Steve Corino submit to a double reverse chinlock in 0:14:36.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Tajiri retained the ECW Television Title.)

Many thought this would be the last dance for Tajiri and his ECW Television Title reign
but the champion proves his worth once again, making Corino submit to a lethal submission
hold. Corino took Tajiri to the limit but he extends his ECW Television Title reign
past another show, beating another former ECW World Champion in the process.

Paul London and Nova defeated The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson)
when P. London pinned TJ with the Calling London in 0:13:05.
Rating: *** 3/4

The Stampede Bulldogs have a bit of an edge tonight but London and Nova prove that
they are a solid enough tag team, with TJ Wilson being pinned with the Calling London
Shooting Star Press. Two solid tag teams in an impressive ECW World Tag Team Title
division.

Raven pinned Rob Van Dam with the Evenflow in 0:14:04.
Rating: *** 1/2

Raven scores the win over RVD, after Van Dam missed the Five Star Frog Splash and
Raven connected with the Evenflow DDT to score the pin. Afterwards, Raven beats on
Van Dam until Sabu saves Van Dam and Rhino attacks Sabu which leads to...

Rhino pinned Sabu with the Gore in 0:09:08.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

Rhino keeps the belt by hitting Sabu with a trash can and then Goring him into said
trash can for the pin. Jerry Lynn watches and he's the next man to challenge for the
ECW World Title against Rhino in the main event at Hardcore Heaven.

Results of ECW Wrestlepoolza 4/18/03:

Delirious pinned Elix Skipper with the Shadows Over Hell in 0:13:27.
Rating: ** 1/4

Two wins by Delirious and it's obvious now that the unique newcomer has Elix Skipper's
number. Skipper looked a bit peeved that he lost to the unique lizard man of ECW
two shows in a row and Prime Time won't let this go lying down.

Four Corners Match:
Christopher Daniels defeated Bryan Danielson, Homicide and Simon Diamond:
        x C. Daniels beat Homicide via the Last Rites in 0:17:51
        x S. Diamond beat B. Danielson via the Simonizer in 0:23:36
        x C. Daniels beat S. Diamond via the Last Rites in 0:27:06
Rating: *** 3/4

Christopher Daniels wins tonight's four way match, to pick up an ECW Television Title
match against Tajiri for Hardcore Heaven. So far no one appears to have knocked Tajiri
off of his Television Title pedestal since the Japanese superstar has won the belt
from Tommy Dreamer in late 2001. Will Daniels have better luck? Meanwhile there
is some heat between Diamond and Danielson based off of Diamond scoring a rare
pinfall win over Bryan Danielson.

Nigel McGuinness pinned Jack Evans with the Tower of London in 0:09:33.
Rating: *** 3/4

One of the singles preview matches for the ECW World Tag Team Title match at Hardcore
Heaven takes place, with Jack Evans being taken out with the Tower of London and pinned
in the center of the ring. McGuiness and Burchill look ready and raring to go, as
the ECW World Tag Team Titles are at stake but the Next Generation Hart Foundation
have been impressive champions so far.

Justin Credible and Tommy Dreamer defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Credible pinned
J. Briscoe with the That's Incredible in 0:13:25.
Rating: *** 3/4

The Briscoes lose to the Extreme Cartel, with Jay crashing and burning and Credible
delivering That's Incredible for the pin. The Briscoes are not too pleased and
challenge the Cartel to a return match at Hardcore Heaven, which Dreamer and Credible
cockily accept.

Paul Burchill pinned Teddy Hart with the Curb Stomp in 0:09:24.
Rating: *** 1/2

The Harts go 0-2 tonight as the vicious Curb Stomp spells the end for Teddy Hart's
night. Burchill and McGuiness have momentum on their side but at Hardcore Heaven
they have to defeat perhaps the greatest tag team in wrestling today, the ECW World
Tag Team Champions Jack Evans and Teddy Hart, the Next Generation Hart Foundation.

Bam Bam Bigelow pinned Jerry Lynn with the Greetings from Asbury Park in
          0:12:49.
Rating: ** 3/4

Jerry Lynn's attempt to fight a bigger man backfired as Bam Bam Bigelow proved to be
too much for the Cradle Piledriver of Lynn. Bigelow will join Sabu, Steve Corino, and
the winner of Mike Awesome and Kid Kash to determine a number one contender for the
ECW World Title after Hardcore Heaven at Hardcore Heaven.

Table Match:
Mike Awesome defeated Kid Kash by putting him through a table in 0:01:14.
Rating: **

Kash was out of his element. All it took was one Awesome Bomb through the table and
the match was over. Awesome prepares to meet Sabu, Steve Corino, and Bam Bam Bigelow
for an ECW World Title opportunity.

Sabu and Rob Van Dam defeated Raven and Mikey Whipwreck when RVD pinned Raven
after a small package in 0:13:55.
Rating: *** 1/2

Van Dam played possum to sucker Raven into a small package for the pin. Raven/RVD
will have another match at Hardcore Heaven, in addition to Sabu joining Bam Bam
Bigelow, Mike Awesome, and Steve Corino in a fatal four way number one contenders
match.

Rhino pinned Tajiri with the Gore in 0:09:55.
Rating: ****
(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

Tajiri tried to reach the same milestone that Rhino has in the past, holding the ECW
World and Television Titles simultaneously, but Rhino proved why he was the only man
to reach that mark, matching Tajiri move for move, strike for strike, and finishing him
off with the Gore. Jerry Lynn and Rhino for the ECW World Title and Tajiri has to put
his ECW Television Title on the line against Christopher Daniels at Hardcore Heaven.

when Nova pinned Harry after a flying legdrop in 0:09:54.
Rating: *** 1/4

We open up with a bang and an impressive match. Nova and London score the win, with
Smith being and hit a flying legdrop. The crowd is getting behind London and Nova,
with a pair of wins over the former ECW World Tag Team Champions, a title shot is
forthcoming.

Bryan Danielson made Simon Diamond submit to the Cattle Mutilation in 0:16:36.
Rating: **** 1/4

Danielson avenges his loss to Diamond in the fatal four way match back at Wrestlepoolza,
making Diamond submit to the Cattle Mutilation. Danielson has fallen short in winning
the ECW Television Title in the past but with his performance, a future title shot
would not be out of the realm of possibility.

Justin Credible and Tommy Dreamer defeated
The Briscoe Brothers (Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) when Credible pinned
M. Briscoe with the That's Incredible in 0:14:49.
Rating: ****

Two straight wins over the Briscoes by Credible and Dreamer, but this time the
singapore cane played a role in the win. We see the Briscoes get up and brawl with
Dreamer and Credible, signalling that this loss will not deter them from going
another round with the Extreme Cartel.

Homicide pinned Kid Kash with the Cop Killa in 0:10:06.
Rating: ****

Homicide wins against Kid Kash, who continues a bit of a slump. Kash had a bit of
fire behind his offensive attacks but Homicide proved to be the more able brawler,
cutting down Kash. Homicide is another man looking for gold in ECW.

Christopher Daniels pinned Tajiri with the Last Rites in 0:11:02.
Rating: **** 1/4
(Christopher Daniels won the ECW Television Title.)

Daniels has done it. He's ended the ECW Television Title reign of Tajiri and continues
his undefeated streak in ECW. The Last Rites proved doom for Tajiri and his title reign.
Seventeen months on top as champion is nothing to sneeze at but a new man reigns as
ECW Television Champion and that man is Christopher Daniels.

Paul Burchill and Nigel McGuinness defeated
The Next Generation Hart Foundation (Teddy Hart and Jack Evans) when Burchill
pinned J. Evans with the Curb Stomp in 0:22:02.
Rating: ****
(Paul Burchill and Nigel McGuinness won the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Two for two with new champions as Burchill and McGuiness win this match, vicious
Curb Stomping the face of Jack Evans, leading to the victory. We understand this was
the last match for Jack Evans in ECW for some time, as he has only agreed to work
until he's lost the belt and thus has been working without a contract. Will Teddy
Hart try to regain the belts with a new partner or will he go onto attempt for singles
glory? Only time will tell.

No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Four Corners Match:
Steve Corino defeated Mike Awesome, Bam Bam Bigelow and Sabu:
        x S. Corino beat Bigelow via the Old School Expulsion in 0:19:53
        x S. Corino beat Awesome via the Old School Expulsion in 0:24:06
        x S. Corino beat Sabu via the Old School Expulsion in 0:28:12
Rating: ****

Steve Corino held the ECW World Title for a year and looks to be looking to add another
title victory to his legacy, with this decisive performance in this number one contenders
match knocking out three challengers, pinning them. Corino is looking for the winner
of Lynn/Rhino as his next conquest, at Hostile City Showdown in June. Corino wants
the belt back.

Rob Van Dam pinned Raven with the Five Star Frog Splash in 0:17:11.
Rating: *** 1/4

Rob Van Dam gets the win and Raven gets on the microphone, challenging RVD to
another match at Hostile City Showdown, since both won a one on one match. It is
announced a bit afterwards that this match will be for the ECW World Title Shot at
Heatwave in July.

Rhino pinned Jerry Lynn with the Gore in 0:08:23.
Rating: *** 3/4
(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

Super piledriver through a table and the Gore score the win in an intense, if a bit
on the short side title defense. Rhino cuts a promo, promising to hold the belt for
ever and bury each and every challenger. He has Corino next and then the winner of
that match gets the winner of Raven/RVD after that.

Nigel McGuinness and Paul Burchill defeated Paul London and Nova when Burchill
pinned P. London with the Curb Stomp in 0:17:54.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Nigel McGuinness and Paul Burchill retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles.)

Burchill and Nigel retained the ECW World Tag Team Titles against London and Nova
in a great match. Their first title defense, with Burchill drills London with a vicious
Curb Stomp. Without a clear cut title contender, you have to wonder where Burchill
and Nigel take their reign next.

Steve Corino pinned Bam Bam Bigelow with the Old School Expulsion in 0:10:45.
Rating: *** 1/2

Steve Corino scores a win with the Old School Explusion, taking him down. Bigelow

Rating: ****
(Christopher Daniels retained the ECW Television Title.)

Tajiri tried to regain his belt but Daniels pulled out an Asai Moonsault to score the
pin and retain the title. It looks like Tajiri may be stepping up from the ECW Television
Title picture and go for the ECW World Title in the not so distant future.

Sabu and Rob Van Dam defeated Rhino and Mike Awesome when RVD pinned Rhino
after the Rolling Thunder in 0:16:47.
Rating: *** 3/4

when Quiet Storm pinned Kash after the Stereo Top_Rope Legdrop in 0:11:16.

Divine Storm wins the match tonight, beating Kid Kash in his last ECW match. It seems
like Kash wants to take some time off and regroup but you better believe that once
he does, he will be back and ready to take ECW by storm in the near future.

Simon Diamond pinned Matt Sydal with the Simonizer in 0:12:25.
Rating: ** 1/4

Simon Diamond pinned Matt Sydal. We understand a rubber match between the two is set
up for Heatwave, in an attempt to settle the issue once and for all.

Triangle Match:
Elix Skipper defeated Tony Mamaluke and Delirious:
        x Prime Time beat Mamaluke via the Sudden Death in 0:25:32
        x Prime Time beat Delirious via the Sudden Death in 0:29:12
Rating: *** 1/2

Elix Skipper defeated Tony Mamaluke and the odd Delirious to win this three way dance.
Prime Time has had a shaky record in ECW, but scoring a win over two men should really
put him in line for some future title opportunities. Delirious came close to scoring
the win but it was not enough for him.

Number-One-Contenders-Match:
Bryan Danielson pinned Mikey Whipwreck after a small package in 0:05:21.
Rating: *** 1/2

Danielson earned himself a television title opportunity at Heatwave, pinning Whipwreck

The Stampede Bulldogs (Harry Smith and TJ Wilson) when Matthews pinned Harry
after an inverted facelock elbowdrop in 0:11:22.

a team who held the ECW World Tag Team Titles in the past and hopefully the Young
Lions will use this opportunity to get a title shot.

Christopher Daniels pinned Homicide with the Last Rites in 0:09:59.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Christopher Daniels retained the ECW Television Title.)

An impressive match as Christopher Daniels keeps the ECW Television Title firmly
around his waist tonight. Homicide got several nearfalls but Daniels pulls out

a dragon suplex in 0:18:57.
Rating: **** 3/4

came out to break up the brawl.

Sabu pinned Jerry Lynn with the Triple Jump Moonsault in 0:11:28.
Rating: ***

Two ECW mainstays Jerry LYnn and Sabu have a match. Sabu kicked out the Cradle Piledriver
and hit the Arabian Facebuster and the Triple Jump Moonsault to score the win. Sabu is
looking for another ECW World Title but looking for and capturing the belt are two
different things.

Raven pinned Rob Van Dam with the Evenflow DDT in 0:09:08.

Raven has beaten Rob Van Dam tonight. Afterwards, Raven challenges the winner of tonight's

(Rhino retained the ECW World Title.)

And it will be Raven against Rhino for the ECW World Title at Heatwave as Rhino brutalized
Corino. This solidified Rhino's status as a championship contender and kept the belt
around his waist. Corino held the belt for a year but will have to go back to the
drawing board for a future title shot.

Rating: ***

The Stampede Bulldogs win tonight in this opening match and are looking forward to
the battle involving the Briscoe Brothers and Nigel McGuiness and Paul Burchill for
the ECW Tag Team Titles at Heatwave as if they are no doubt looking for a match
against the winners.

Bryan Danielson made Simon Diamond submit to an airplane spin in 0:14:14.
Rating: *** 3/4

Danielson shows a vast array of submission moves tonight, with each one coming closer
to submitting Diamond before an airplane spin of all things gets the job done. Danielson

Jay Briscoe pinned Paul Burchill with the J-Driller in 0:11:44.
Rating: ***

The Briscoe Brothers are 1-0 against the Tag Team Champions in matches tonight, with
Jay putting Paul Burchill away with the Jay Driller. A match between Mark Briscoe
and Nigel McGuiness is up next to no doubt attempt to settle the question of who
the better team is.

Mark Briscoe pinned Nigel McGuinness with the Cutthroat Suplex in 0:03:56. Nigel
McGuinness suffered a larynx injury. He will be out for approximately 2 cards.
Rating: ***

Nigel McGuiness lost pretty quickly tonight, due to a bad bump he suffered on his
throat. McGuiness may have to miss Heatwave but will Burchill be forced to defend
the title alone or will be allowed to pick another partner? Or maybe Nigel will gut
it out.

Homicide pinned Sabu with the Cop Killa in 0:11:54.
Rating: **** 1/4

To say this was a big victory for Homicide would be the understatement of the year. He
defeated perhaps one of the corner stones of ECW, in one Sabu with the Cop Killa in
the center of the ring. Homicide gets on the microphone and makes a bold challenge to
Rob Van Dam for a match at Heatwave! That should be an impressive one!

Jerry Lynn pinned Steve Corino with the Cradle Piledriver in 0:12:51.
Rating: *** 1/4

Two former ECW Champions square off and Lynn scores the win with the Cradle Piledriver
after some back and forth action. Corino hasn't quite regained his footing after that
one year championship reign from 2001-2002 and might be slowing down.

Rob Van Dam and Rhino defeated Justin Credible and Raven when Rhino pinned
Credible with the Gore in 0:13:25.
Rating: *** 1/2

Needless to say Rob Van Dam and Rhino are an odd couple but they worked well against
the Extreme Cartel duo of Justin Credible and Raven, with Rhino pinning Credible with
the Gore. Raven stays out of the match but he will challenge Rhino for the ECW Championship
as part of Heatwave.
