ECW 12/22 - 12/29/00

12/22 Show

We have this show in full on FanCam (12/15/00).

Opening is the great angle with York/Matthews promo that leads to Diamond and his crew coming out. Tommy comes out to help the injured babyfaces and gets beat to shit, so the Dudleyz (one time only!) make the save. I never knew this was on TV. This comes across a bit better on tv than FanCam even though the big spot with Dawn Marie is edited it out by the MSG network. Should probably make the set as an Extra. EXTRA

Rhino v. Spike Dudley

This is a Low End Nomination as a FanCam bout. I actually think the camera angles on this one and the editing make this a better version of the match.

Chilly Willy v. Mike Bell

Roadkill/Danny Doring interview backstage. Doring tearfilled promo about making in the business.

FBI v. Mikey Whipwreck/Tajiri

I opted not to nominate this as a FanCam and see no reason to change my mind here. Actually the cool Tajiri spots are much less visible and engaging with the tv edit.

12/29 show.

Also from the 12/15/00 FanCam

Roadkill/Danny Doring v. Da Baldies

This is the match where Taz comes out and helps Doring/Roadkill when Da Baldies/evil ref try and screw them. Taz puts them over post-match and gives them his catchphrase. I could see this as a nominal extra.

Vignette with Credible arguing with Francine. Turns out Justin St. Clair was giving him head in his car during their conversation. Har har.

Nova/Balls Mahoney v. Hot Commodity

Nothing to see here.

C.W. Anderson promo hyping PPV I Quit match with Dreamer

Cyrus is out cutting a promo putting over Jerry Lynn leading to..

Jerry Lynn v. Christian York

Again we already have it and nothing here makes it any better.

Tail end of this has a brief "news alert" regarding the Dudleyz further involvement in the show. I realized this was the last non-ppv tv show they ever did but there is nothing on it that really needs to make a set. They went out with a whimper.

If all these disc are as easy to breeze through as this I am going to murder this TV.
