Posted October 8, 201014 yr comment_5456969 Opening is chaotic scene in the ring involving Dudz Styles narrates brief title history of the TV title. Jerry Lynn v. Rob Van Dam from Hardcore Heaven 99. I had forgotten Heyman showed this entire thing in full on the first show. God what an asshole. Styles runs through a list of ECW guys who were in the big leagues at the time. Clips of Douglas throwing down the NWA title Styles narrates brief history of ECW World Title Taz v. Rhino We have this on Hardcore TV in full with the pre-match banter. Sabu video package Spike squashing Sal E. Impact Players/Dawn Marie/Jason/Cyrus promo. In some ways this is the debut of the Cyrus character and should probably make the set. EXTRA Kid Rock music video introducing ECW stars. Taz promo running down the big names he has beaten. Really good promo. EXTRA Taz v. Tajiri Jesus Christ this was a great five minute match. Tajiri winning the open exchange with a rewind elbow that Taz took really well was awesome and made better by Tajiri spitting on him. Really loved Tajiri going for the tarantula and Taz stopping it with the angry man slam. Taz is just brutally stiff here throwing a nasty clothesline and nasty chops which Tajiri answers in kind. Tajiri ends up going for a headkick and Taz catches his leg and drops him right on his head which Tajiri sells like death. Taz has to pick him up limp bodied and murders him with some nasty crossfaces. Tajiri's facial expressions here were totally awesome. He comes back with a low blow and then just unloads with a barrage of sickening kicks. Tajiri looks to have him reeling but goes for another head kick and Taz slips behind him and chokes him out. Awesome sprint. Possibly the best Taz match I've ever seen. Gertner comes out as the color commentator which causes Joey to pitch a fit. Jerry Lynn in ring promo. Lynn calls out RVD. Fonzy comes out and says no, so Lynn attacks him. RVD makes the save. Pull-a-part brawl. D-Von Dudley/Bubba Dudley v. Spike Dudley/Balls Mahoney The fucking replays they use are really annoying, but this was awfully good. Pretty much everything you would want from these guys. Balls brutalizes people with chairshots and shotputs him onto the Dudz. Bubba drops Spike on the guardrail from an electric chair position and then later gives him a toss from the ring through the table on the floor. Spike bleeds a sick, sick gusher. Bubba fucking kills spike with a nasty top rope powerbomb to block a rana attempt. Balls sets up a table and fills it with thumbtacks and sure enough Balls takes the big bump but amazingly Spike makes the save only to get hit with the 3D to drop the tag belts. This is fairly chopped up but I think it's good enough to consider as a match. At worst it's an Extra. Impact Players music video Dudleys in ring promo threatening to walk out with the ECW tag titles. They call out Dreamer. This segment is interspersed with clips from the Dudz and Dreamer's career. Dreamer hits the ring and immediately gets assaulted by the Dudz. Ref rings the bell. Dreamer takes control with the help of a ladder but then gets reversed into it and destroyed by Bubba with a backdrop suplex. Sign Guy even tries to stop the Dudz but they throw him to the ground. Dreamer DDT's D-Von and then Raven runs in and DDT's Bubba for a stereo pin. Look on Dreamer's face when he turns around and realizes Raven came to his aid is pretty great. EXTRA
