00:00I hate her.
00:03She leaves a bad taste in my mouth, too, Joey.
00:06Uh, anyway, we're in Buffalo.
00:10The rookie's head in and takes an elbow to the chops.
00:15Irish win.
00:17Another elbow right to the face.
00:24And for the third time, the rookie, Chris Chetty,
00:27Chetty is met with the back elbow right to the side of the head.
00:34Douglas is still working on a weak knee.
00:37And he's going up top?
00:38Chetty's got to get that knee.
00:40He's wasting a lot of time, Rick.
00:42Oh, he got the wee knee.
00:45Side kick.
00:47And Douglas unceremoniously meets the turnbuckle,
00:50as you so aptly pointed out.
00:53Both men all the way up now.
00:55What a superplex.
00:57Superplex to the top.
00:58This may be an upset to it.
01:01It was close.
01:04Irish whip.
01:06Closed line by Chetty.
01:08Closed line by Chetty.
01:11That's three in a row.
01:13Hooks the far leg to it.
01:15Chris Chetty showing a lot of fire for a rookie.
01:19Beautiful swinging neck breaker.
01:24To it.
01:25Slow count.
01:27That was as close as it can be without being a three count.
01:31Chris Chetty putting on the performance of his young wrestling career.
01:35Reversal on the Irish whip.
01:37Go behind by Chetty.
01:39Douglas held on.
01:42Nice side kick right to the tempo.
01:46What's he gonna do here?
01:48The rookie.
01:49High risk.
01:50The double springboard moonsault.
01:53Missed.
01:54Chris Chetty got flashy.
01:55He got flashy.
01:56But nailed by the belly to belly suplex.
01:59Damn.
02:01No winner of the match and still he's the WWE division champion.
02:06How much did he get?
02:08By the skin of his teeth.
02:11He pulled it out by the skin of his teeth.
02:24One.
02:27Three.
02:28Four.
02:29Hit me.
02:31Tim
02:39You
02:47Yeah, man.
02:48See you now.
02:50How much did he feed?
02:54How much did he own the參 game?
02:55How much did he de ie?
02:56How much did he do?
02:58This is Xtreme!
03:08Hello, everyone, and welcome to Xtreme Championship Wrestling's debut in Buffalo, New York.
03:17I'm Joey Stiles at the Burt Flickinger Center, along with the man who is responsible for the second most embarrassing moment in the life of Kathy Lee Gifford,
03:28ravishing Rick Rude.
03:29I guess the golden boy, Frank Gifford, took offense to the way I cook Kathy Lee's buns.
03:37On this program, you will see a dream partner tag team matchup.
03:41Tommy Dreamer on one side of the ring, Raven on the other.
03:45Each man will pick a dream tag team partner.
03:48Each man gets to choose whoever they want in the ECW as a tag team partner.
03:53I can't wait to see that match.
03:55We won't have to wait very long. Plus, we will have an update on Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam.
04:02Mr. Monday Night's going to find out he can run from the ECW, but he can't hide.
04:09And you can't run or hide when it comes to the human suplex machine, Taj.
04:15If you thought he was in a foul mood before the pay-per-view, you figured he'd be happy he won the matchup.
04:20He is more miserable than ever before.
04:23I wouldn't want to be Van Dam, Alfonso, Sabu, or right now at this moment,
04:28I wouldn't want to be Spike Dudley because the human suplex machine is on his way down to the ring.
04:36And if you thought Taj was angry before Fairly Legal, Rob Van Dam and Sabu are in more trouble now.
04:50He looks like an executioner on his way out to the guillotine.
04:53You know, Taj proved to me fairly legal.
05:00Not only can he talk the talk, but he can walk the walk.
05:03In my mind, he is the better man.
05:06He choked Sabu out.
05:07And then, for his trouble for extending a hand, going to show a perspective to Sabu,
05:17he was blindsided by Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam and put through a table.
05:24Manager sold him out.
05:27I believe Taj will have his own special way of getting even.
05:30He ain't going to put any weight on by gnawing on that rope either, is he, Joey?
05:42I know the joke about liking to meet my wife and sister and there's one woman standing there.
05:46It's not a joke anymore.
05:47In New York, he weighs in at 248 pounds.
05:52The human suplex machine, this is Taj!
06:00Burning a hole in Spike Dudley with his eyes.
06:03Speaking of burning holes, Francine comes to mind.
06:06You know that woman can't wrestle a lick, but you ought to see her box.
06:11Can I mention we're in Buffalo?
06:18Go behind.
06:20Standing switch, no, to a hammerlock, reverse.
06:23Rob Coho, they don't ankle pick, beautifully executed by Taj.
06:26I think Taj's weight advantage is going to be too much.
06:32He's got about 100 pounds on Spike Dudley.
06:35And there's a misdemeanor about him that just wants to drop everyone on their head.
06:42Arm ringer now by Spike Dudley, reverse by Taj.
06:46Hip up by Spike.
06:49Into an arm bar.
06:51Taj escapes.
06:51There's an O-Gosh on Spike Dudley.
06:57I think Spike's traveling up a dead-end alley if he's trying to mat-wrestle with Taj.
07:02He needs to go aerial, take Taj off his feet.
07:09Move to the midsection.
07:11Clubbing forearm.
07:12Irish whip.
07:18Spike ducks the clothesline.
07:20Nice counter in midair with the dropkick.
07:23Right to the nose of Taj.
07:25He's got to follow it up now.
07:28He's going up top.
07:30He hits a plancher from the top-turn locker.
07:36He needs to keep the pressure on if he's going to take Taj down.
07:39Mike Dudley now waiting on Taj.
07:44That's a mistake.
07:46And he hurts it.
07:47Plants the knee between the shoulder blades.
07:50Here are four arms.
07:52And a chop to the chest.
07:54Reversal on the Irish whip.
07:56Tip up out of the corner.
07:57Back the other way.
07:59Taj is too smart for that.
08:01Taz is too big for this Spike Dudley.
08:13It's okay.
08:14There have been men a lot bigger than Taj that still got choked out.
08:17Just ask 9-1-1.
08:23Ask him what.
08:24Whether or not size matters.
08:27Don't forget I said that.
08:29Francine begs to differ.
08:32Backslide coming up.
08:34Oh!
08:34Mike Dudley lands on his...
08:35And winds up right back on his...
08:41Clothesline out of his boots.
08:42This Taz is built for power with that low center of gravity and those big legs.
08:50He can really do it all.
08:52Wrestle, brawl.
08:56Leapfrogged by Spike Dudley.
08:57Waistlock.
09:00What do you call that?
09:01German Taz plexed.
09:03But he threw Spike so hard.
09:05He flipped over.
09:06And there's one for all the bird watchers.
09:11Obviously, Taz has Sabu on the brain.
09:13He did him in it fairly legal.
09:15And he wants another piece of him.
09:17And you can bet Sabu will keep coming until one man is broken.
09:22No longer able to...
09:23Spike goes downstairs.
09:26Inside Kratos ball packet.
09:28One count only.
09:30There's a Dandina.
09:35Back to the side.
09:36Headlock.
09:39Swinging Bulldog out of the corner.
09:42Two.
09:43Not quite two.
09:46Spike Gundy is showing me a lot here.
09:49You can tell he's frustrated.
09:51He can't figure out a way to put Taz away.
09:53That spinning Bulldog is...
09:55That's his coup de grace.
09:56You can't go for it twice.
09:57You're not going to hit Taz twice with the same move.
10:00And you get the feeling now that that was the beginning of the end for Spike Dudley.
10:09What do you think is running through Taz's mind right now?
10:13Sabu, Sabu, Sabu.
10:14Taz has just informed the entire city of Buffalo, New York, that the end is very, very near for Mr. Spike Dudley.
10:36Irish whip.
10:44Taz ran into a boot.
10:47He saw Spike come out of the corner.
10:49Put on the brakes.
10:49Spike Dudley went to cinch up Taz, and Taz just took it right over.
10:57It looked like Spike had a notion to go up top and change his mind.
11:00Maybe he should have went up.
11:02While Taz was right behind him, he may not have made it.
11:05Taz is deceivingly back.
11:10Snapmare takes him over.
11:11Dropkick to the back of the head.
11:17Spike Dudley still fighting.
11:20Reversal.
11:24Spike going for the flying head.
11:25He's got caught.
11:31Taz dropped him.
11:32And there it is.
11:33The cup to Hodge of A.
11:35The Taz missed it.
11:37What's more violent and humiliating than choking someone out?
11:41I don't know, watch you ask Marv Elber.
11:4335 seconds, your winner.
11:46We can introduce more to Kathy Lee.
11:47She likes sportscasters.
11:56I wouldn't want to be on Taz's hit list.
11:58Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling.
12:18And Spike Dudley just got a taste, just a taste of what is no doubt in store for Sabu, Bill Alfonso, and Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam.
12:27When you start talking about taste, Mr. Styles, that luscious rump roast that Francine served up comes to mind.
12:36You know, Shane Douglas would have you think, I'm putting my nose where it doesn't belong.
12:41But I was just helping out a damsel in distress.
12:44Francine needed a little mouth-to-blouse resuscitation.
12:51And if that weren't extreme enough tonight, Extreme Championship Wrestling invaded Buffalo, New York.
12:59Get a load of this.
13:00Here come the original Mad Dogs of War.
13:04Your friends break the pit bull.
13:06They can get it done, Joe.
13:08And there goes the FBI.
13:10What is that?
13:11Farm-bred idiots?
13:12Balls has got the chair.
13:32And he swings the hardest chair in the sport.
13:35And Buffalo has an extreme welcome for the Sandman.
14:03What about this guy?
14:08Cranes on Budweiser and Campbell Cigarettes.
14:11Works for him.
14:13Works for me.
14:17They're right up by the broadcast position.
14:25Oh, my God.
14:27Abou and Mandan's manager, Bill Alfonso, are real popular here in Buffalo.
14:38Look at this teamwork.
14:48Four Ridge hands and a pair of Dragon Sweeps.
14:51That's what separates the men from the boys in tag team action.
14:58Separates the Eliminators from everybody else.
15:00They are the best tag team in the world today.
15:07The Dudleys and Gangsters working together against the Eliminators.
15:11That may be the only way to dethrone the champions.
15:13That may be the only way to dethrone the champions.
15:21Roundhouse, sidekick.
15:29Saturn going up again with elevation.
15:37You're stopping Big Dick.
15:40They'll hammering at one another.
15:41Double-term elimination.
15:51Eliminated simultaneously.
15:54The Dudleys and the Gangsters.
15:56The winner of the three-win dance.
15:59And still, ECW tag team champions.
16:04Saturn thrown as the Eliminators.
16:07The Eliminators.
16:11I've heard all the hype, but it's a fact.
16:16The Eliminators are the best tag team in the world today.
16:20And when we come back, we'll play National Geographic and take a look at an animal that is now on the endangered species list.
16:27Rob Van Dam.
16:28You know, Rob Van Dam, when I first saw you on Monday Night Raw, the reason you were there was so obvious to me.
16:37It was to get closer to my girl.
16:39But then, after I thought about it, I realized, no, that's not it.
16:42Rob, you're there because you fit in.
16:43Because you're an ass.
16:44What's the poop?
16:48Rob Van Dam's flying the coop.
16:51Heading to the W-Dub from the ECW.
16:54Well, I've got a little tip for you, Rob Van Dam.
16:58Bring yourself a tube of KY jelly.
17:00The going's going to get kind of rough.
17:02Jim Morrison never sold out.
17:14Janis Joplin never sold out.
17:18Kurt Cobain never sold out.
17:23But in the 90s, it's actually quite trendy.
17:27It's all the rage now to sell out to corporate America.
17:30So when one of your superstars of ECW abandons the promotion to wrestle on Monday nights,
17:39I feel your pain.
17:42And when somebody who's given their lifeblood for this place decides to leave for corporate financial gain,
17:53I feel your pain.
17:56How could you Rob Van Dam?
18:00Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam, you think this is a joke?
18:05This is the ECW.
18:07This is reality.
18:09That's right.
18:10You come back to ECW.
18:12You think you're going to come here and use us as a stepping stone?
18:14Make a mockery out of us?
18:16We're going to rip your head off.
18:18We're going to get out of your neck.
18:19And you bring Sam Blue with you so we can pluck him out of the sky.
18:22Rob Van Dam, I will give up cigarettes.
18:39I've come sober just to get the chance to get you and me in the ring together for five minutes.
18:50This big man, I love him.
18:53He sent me to my board, cleaned up my ass.
18:57I go back to ECW.
18:59That man's drinking a beer.
19:01Drives me nuts.
19:02I got a problem.
19:03I don't have to tell you people that this means so much to me.
19:12And I don't really want to talk to you today about being ECW champion.
19:18I want to talk to you just as a wrestler and just as an individual about Rob Van Dam going
19:24to New York, I know that I've been just about everywhere in the world wrestling.
19:35And one thing that I truly love is my freedom.
19:40And whenever Rob Van Dam started being Mr. Monday Night and started associating with those
19:47people up there, he gave away the freedom that the individuals have in ECW.
19:58He just became one of a hundred other mass products that Vince McMahon puts out.
20:07I thought Van Dam had talent, and I thought he had a whole lot of brains, but evidently
20:16he doesn't because he's going to just get lost in something.
20:20Rob Van Dam.
20:21So you want to be Mr. Monday Night and play in Vince McMahon land?
20:25Well, let me just tell you, Rob, Mr. Monday Night, WWE stands for something.
20:30Vince McMahon picked those letters very carefully.
20:33They stand for We Want Franchise, but if they can't have me, I guess they'll take you.
20:43It sucks.
20:44I think it sucks!
20:45I think it sucks!
20:47I think it sucks!
20:52Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam, if you ever go back to the World Wrestling Federation again,
20:59say hi to Sean and Hunter for me, would you?
21:04Salinga!
21:09What happened to you, Rob?
21:10Look at yourself.
21:12You ain't one of us.
21:13You're a traitor now.
21:15A whole new set of rules, Rob.
21:17Rules you can't learn late in life.
21:19Rules you have to be born into.
21:21You see, here,
21:23when we want to kill you,
21:24we do it quickly.
21:26But there,
21:27they do it slowly.
21:28You have to watch all your angles now, Rob.
21:31Because when the hit comes,
21:33you'll never suspect it.
21:35You broke the cardinal rule, Rob.
21:37Never sell out.
21:38At this time,
21:49intelligent input
21:52from the individuals known
21:54as D-Von Dudley,
21:57Big Dick Dudley,
21:59and Bubba Ray Dudley.
22:04Rob Van Dam,
22:07you're a real piece of crap.
22:10You want to wrestle
22:12on Monday nights?
22:15Boy,
22:16you don't know
22:17what kind of ass-kicking
22:19you got coming your way.
22:22So, Ray,
22:22you are definitely
22:24one piece of crap.
22:27Then again,
22:28so is Terry Funk.
22:31Oh.
22:32Oh.
22:32And the Sandman,
22:34he's a drunk piece of crap.
22:37Hey,
22:38don't forget about
22:38the pit bulls.
22:40The pit bulls?
22:41Pieces of crap
22:41from Philadelphia.
22:42And what about
22:44those gangsters?
22:46Gangsters,
22:47you two are both
22:48pieces of crap.
22:51And don't forget
22:53about those eliminators.
22:56Eliminators?
22:58Oh, you two
22:59are pieces of crap
23:00that stole our belts.
23:02Don't think we're
23:03coming for them, boys.
23:04And what about
23:05that pretty boy,
23:06Tommy Dreamer,
23:08the innovator
23:09of crap?
23:11I don't get
23:12if you wanted
23:14to be surrounded
23:15by pieces of crap,
23:18you should have
23:18just stayed right here
23:20because you fit
23:21in so beautifully.
23:24Hey, the truth,
23:26we don't give up.
23:27We wrestle on Monday night.
23:28I don't care if you
23:29have to wrestle
23:30in ECW again either.
23:32In fact,
23:32if you are
23:34in this stuff
23:34boy who wrestle here again,
23:35what I care is
23:36that you sell out
23:37the place
23:37where we work
23:38our ass off at.
23:39I care that you take
23:40and use the company's
23:42name that we bleed in
23:43and try to get
23:44yourself over
23:44and try to make
23:45yourself money.
23:47And again,
23:47suck boy,
23:48Sabu,

24:06You can never be
24:06a full-blooded
24:07attire like my brother's.
24:08You can never be a
24:09paizan.
24:10You can never be a
24:11gumbar.
24:12Paizan,
24:13let me say something.
24:14Oh, paizan,
24:16Rob Van Dam,
24:16you make the full-blooded
24:18attire like my brother's.
24:18Man, that's not very
24:19smart, paizan.
24:20Man, I've already done.
24:21Hey, you changed,
24:22Rob, you changed,
24:23Rob Van Dam.
24:24You changed, man.
24:25You're at the same
24:25mouth.
24:25Hey, hey, let me say
24:27something.
24:27Rob Van Dam,
24:28if you ever step in the
24:30ring with the full-blooded
24:31attire like my brother's.
24:32We're going to have
24:32some problems.
24:32You didn't step in the
24:33ring to me.
24:33You keep paizan.
24:34Hey, where's your shirt?
24:39Where's your shirt?
24:41Where's your shirt?
24:42I got it, Sam.
24:43Hello, paizan.
24:44Come on, the dog
24:44don't need your shirt.
24:45Forget about this.
24:46What were we just
24:46talking about, paizan?
24:47What were we just
24:48talking about?
24:48We're talking about
24:49John Claude Van Dam.
24:50No, paizan, paizan.
24:51Rob Van Dam.
24:52Were you in this
24:52conversation?
24:53Rob Van Dam.
24:54We wrestled on Monday
24:55night.
24:56This Monday night.
24:57Monday night.
24:58Rob Van Dam
24:59Monday night?
25:00I don't know.
25:01What do you mean,

25:05you got the old
25:06watch right there.
25:07We got TV everywhere.
25:09But we're talking
25:10about John Claude Van Dam.
25:12Rob Van Dam.
25:14Rob Van Dam.
25:15Let me tell you
25:16something, brother.
25:18Hey, you made
25:19your choice.
25:21You know,
25:22are you there
25:22with Gordon Sully
25:23on Monday night?
25:24Is that what it is?
25:25Gordon Sully,
25:26you got a big star.
25:30Taz,
25:30you almost put me
25:31in bankrupt.

25:43giant bubble,
25:44WCW,
25:46WDW.
25:47I'm in the house.
25:48I can do things
25:49that I like to do.
25:50I like to get
25:51massage every day.
25:53Taz,
25:53I haven't forgot you.
25:55Mr.
25:55Monday night,
25:56Rob Van Dam,
25:57see you on,
25:58daddy.
26:00Rob Van Dam.
26:00I may only be a W,
26:04but I would love
26:06the opportunity
26:07to show you
26:08just how much
26:10ECW
26:11means to me.
26:16Rob Van Dam,
26:18I've done a lot of things
26:19for money.
26:20But what you did,
26:22I do everything.
26:23Rob Van Dam,
26:34do you have any idea
26:35how much heat you have
26:36with this company?
26:37You know,
26:38I busted my arm
26:39for ECW.
26:40I've been in a neck brace
26:42for months at a time,
26:43and you have enough
26:44nerve to sell out?
26:46You know,
26:47I know for a fact
26:49that you can bid off
26:49more than you can chew.
26:50And when you're back,
26:52though,
26:54you're gonna get
26:55fired.
27:03Rob Van Dam,
27:04wants to go play
27:05on Monday night television.
27:07Van Dam,
27:08I haven't seen you,
27:09your punk buddy
27:10Sabu again,
27:11I'm gonna bash your head!
27:13Rob Van Dam,
27:14you're an extremely
27:15shrewd businessman.
27:16Yes, you are.
27:17You positioned yourself
27:18where everybody not locked
27:19and wants to kick your ass,
27:21and they probably can.
27:22You're positioning yourself
27:23where you can actually
27:24make more money
27:25because people want to
27:25see you get your ass kicked.
27:27But you know what?
27:28There's only one problem
27:28with that,
27:29Rob Van Dam.
27:30It's not gonna happen here,
27:31because as of now,
27:32you are suspended indefinitely
27:33from extreme
27:34championship wrestling.
27:37So,
27:37Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam
27:39on advice
27:40from Jerry Lawler.
27:42Advice from Jerry Lawler?
27:44A guy wearing tights
27:45and a crown
27:46is in breach
27:47of his ECLW contract
27:48and now as a result
27:49of appearing
27:50on the WW Monday Night
27:51television program
27:52has been suspended
27:53indefinitely
27:54without pay.
27:55So Rob Van Dam
27:57goes from suspended
27:58to rear-ended.
27:59Ouch.
28:00Let's talk about
28:01the here and the now
28:02the dream tag team match
28:04between Tommy Dreamer
28:05and Raven.
28:11Who's the bimbo
28:12hanging with the buzzer?
28:13I don't know her name
28:18and look at this
28:19booger-picking moron.
28:21And what's he doing
28:21with Missy Hyde?
28:33Her name I know.
28:34And grace around her neck
28:44is courtesy of one
28:45Luis Bacoli.
28:47What are you doing
28:48looking at her neck?
28:52This is a dream partner
28:54tag team matchup.
28:57Tommy Dreamer on one side,
28:58Raven on the other.
28:59Each of these athletes
29:02will pick a dream partner
29:04from whoever's
29:05in the locker room
29:05tonight.
29:08Dreamer versus Raven,
29:09the longest-running
29:10feud in ECW history.
29:14And in the two and a half
29:15years that these two
29:16have been trying
29:17to destroy one another,
29:19Tommy Dreamer
29:21has never, never
29:23hit Raven
29:24or made him submit.
29:27Tonight might be
29:28the night, though, Joe.
29:30He picks the right partner.
29:34I think it's a no-brainer
29:35for me.
29:36I'd have to pick Bueller.
29:38Ladies and gentlemen,
29:39as stated,
29:39this is a dream
29:40tag team partner match.
29:43Tommy Dreamer,
29:44you can pick any wrestler
29:45from the dressing room
29:46to be your partner
29:46tonight.
29:48Who do you choose?
29:49Commissioner Todd Gordon
29:50putting Tommy Dreamer
29:52on the spot.
29:56Who's it gonna be?
29:57Who's it gonna be?
29:59Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry, Terry.
30:12Ladies and gentlemen, his partner, Terry Ford.
30:19Tommy's mentor and father figure,
30:24the hardcore legend, the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
30:32I guess there was really only one choice for Tommy to make.
30:42I've got a lot of respect for that man there, Joey.
30:48You and everyone else in the history of this great sport, Rick.
31:04Funk can't stand Raven either, and that feeling is mutual.
31:07He's the one that knocked Raven off top of the mountain and barely legal.
31:10I'm sure Raven has the score to settle, whether or not he'll do it now.
31:15It remains to be seen.
31:19This could be interesting.
31:26Nobody likes this guy.
31:30Doesn't even like himself.
31:34Stevie Richards.
31:36This gets weirder and weirder each night.
31:43Stevie Richards.
31:49Rumors have been flying on hotlines, on the internet, in the locker room.
31:53Is Stevie Richards headed for a reconciliation with Raven?
31:58It seems to be pointing that way.
32:00Well, Stevie's not exactly sprinting out to the ring to join Raven.
32:09Where'd the guy come up with that name, Raven, anyway?
32:11Looks like a buzzer to me.
32:18This is intriguing, to say the least.
32:20That when we come back, Tommy Dreamer and Terry Funk will take on the combination of Raven and Stevie Richards?
32:38Tommy Dreamer locks up with Big Stevie Cool.
32:40Team break, and Tommy had some words for Stevie.
32:52Stevie, what have I taught you?
32:54He backs you into the corner, you kick him.
32:57Oh, you ready?
33:03Tell you what?
33:03Vince Lombardi, huh?
33:04More like David Koresh.
33:06I think Raven ought to be looking for a UFO somewhere.
33:17They're not exactly gelling, are they?
33:23Stevie didn't want anymore.
33:26Help from Raven
33:29He was Raven's lackey
33:35For two years
33:37He has come into his own
33:39He's a bona fide superstar here at ECW
33:42They tie up again
33:44But this is a tag match, Joey
33:47And Stevie Richard, sooner or later
33:50Is going to need somebody to lean on
33:52He took Raven's advice
33:54He kicked Riemer in the corner
33:56Tommy can give as good as he gets
34:06Tagging to the legend
34:09You know, Dreamer and Funk
34:17Kind of like a father-son relationship
34:19I notice that Terry's always looking out for Tommy
34:22You can hear that
34:31It's got a sting
34:34Terry puts the brakes up
34:36With age comes wisdom
34:43They tie up once again
34:48Funk back into the rope
34:50Shoulder blocked by the punker
34:55He's not just a legend
34:58He's the world's heavyweight champion
35:01They tie up again
35:09Arm ringer by Terry Funk
35:13Into a top wrist lock
35:17Raven's showing a lot of concern for his partner, isn't he?
35:22Oh yeah
35:23It's all broken up
35:24Double team on Big Stevie Cool
35:33Here a fist right between the eyes
35:40Cover
35:41Got only
35:42X-Book vertical suplex
35:53Richards better look for a tag here
35:57And Raven wants no point of Tommy Dreamer
36:02He's backing off
36:03Face first into the turnbuckle goes Stevie
36:10Back in comes the hardcore legend
36:12You know, it wasn't fairly legal that Tommy Dreamer hit Raven with the DDT
36:18Costing him the world title
36:20You'd think Raven would want a piece of Tommy Dreamer
36:24Unless, of course, he learned his lesson
36:27Angman's neck breaker on Stevie
36:33Now Funk wants Raven
36:39Are you gonna fight like a man?
36:44Or like a piece of
36:46That's a real confidence builder
36:50At least Stevie's fighting
36:51I didn't raise you to be a
36:52Stevie Richards
36:53Now get in there and kick his old ass
36:56Apparently he's got a memory block
37:04And there's a tag whether or not Raven likes it
37:07Why don't you get in the ring and kick his old ass?
37:13He was the world heavyweight champion
37:23He was the world heavyweight champion
37:27The key word is was
37:31Funk nailed Stevie who was looking at Raven
37:42Stevie now thrown to the outside
37:44Raven grabs hold of Funk
37:48Funk hits the steer
37:53Tommy hammering Stevie
37:57Raven just got Terry Funk for a table
38:04Raven just got Terry Funk for a table
38:06Raven just got Terry Funk for a table
38:08The champ is in trouble now
38:18The champ is in trouble now
38:22Come through into the first row
38:37Raven shows that killer instinct once his opponent is wounded
38:42And now Tommy's hammering Raven
38:44But Stevie jumps all over Tottenham.
38:51And he's having a good time.
39:01Shearer to the back.
39:04Raven and Richards thrown face first into one another by Tottenham.
39:10Funk and Dreamer are having their way.
39:13And we'll be right back.
39:17Here's what you missed during the commercial break.
39:21Another great strategy session by Raven and Richards.
39:24I can't believe Richards tagged back in after what Raven has put him through.
39:29Well, you know what? If he can beat the World Heavyweight Champion, it's a feather in his cap.
39:36Back to live action.
39:40And Richards didn't want to take the cheap shot.
39:47Snap there on the World Champion.
39:52Now riding him.
39:55Terry Funk is down, but you can't count this man out.
39:58He has withstood the test of time.
40:03And barbed wire and broken glass and death matches and everything else this business has thrown at him.
40:10Here's a tag in to Raven.
40:12A fish right between the eyes and a cover.
40:15And put on Raven.
40:27Evie now nailing Funk.
40:33Tommy cracks Stevie right in the mouth.
40:36Richards and Raven double teaming Terry Funk.
40:41This is why they were twice ECW World Tag Team Champions.
40:46First time was on June 30, 1995 when they defeated the Public Enemy.
40:51They lost it on September 16th to the Pit Bulls.
40:56There's a chair right to the knee.
41:00And who knows if this team can stay together, if they can function this well.
41:04They might be three-time ECW World Tag Team Champions.
41:08But right now they are in the ring with Tommy Dreamer and the Heavyweight Champion of the World
41:13here in Buffalo at the Burt Flickinger Center.
41:17I'd like to look to that table in the corner.
41:30The champion is in trouble.
41:32ECW World! ECW World! ECW World! ECW World!
41:36He's still kicking though.
41:41I think he knows where he is.
41:42I think he thought Raven was covering him.
41:44He was kicking out.
41:46Ah!
41:49Ah!
41:50Terry Funk thrown headlong into the table.
41:52And here comes Tommy.
41:53He has seen it up!
41:58Richards cold cuts Tommy from behind.
42:07In the meantime, Raven and Richards are giving Funk time to recoup.
42:11They should be on him.
42:13They should be on him.
42:16He should be on him.
42:17They should be on him.
42:18He should be on everyone.
42:19He should be on him.
42:20This is the only one Asuka fan fan fan.
42:21Yeah!
42:22These are the only two men.
42:23I don't know if Funk will recoup.
42:25This is the only one of the three men's men.
42:26They should be on him.
42:27It's the only one.
42:28Stevie going back to the leg.
42:32Back to the leg.
42:35He injured with that steel chair.
42:37How the hell are you going to beat him with that?
42:42Take me the back in, idiot.
42:45I think Raven sensed that Richards was going to take it,
42:48working on that weak knee,
42:50and he's coming into Bogart the glory for himself.
42:53He is jealous of Stevie's success, and it would kill him.
42:57He's Stevie Pinn the World Heavyweight Champion.
43:00Now he looks like he's going to go back to the knee.
43:02He just told Richards that wouldn't work.
43:05He's using the spinning toehold on Terry Funk,
43:08and Tommy Dreamer again.
43:10Can't wait for the tag.
43:13Goes right after Raven.
43:18But Tommy hits the steel and hard.
43:21Stevie with the spinning toehold.
43:26He's got it locked in.
43:30What?
43:31Raven wants to beat him.
43:35These two are tag team champions.
43:40DDT on Stevie.
43:44And now Raven trying to put away Terry Funk again
43:47with Terry's own spinning toehold.
43:49One, two.
43:50Oh, and Dreamer was one second away
43:51from fulfilling his dream of pitting Raven.
43:55Tommy was going for the DDT, and they sandwiched the rest of the corner.
44:08There's the DDT on Raven!
44:10The referee's down.
44:12Six, seven, eight.
44:14It's Luis Bacoli!
44:16Luis just nailed Tommy Dreamer to the back of the head!
44:17And he's wearing a Beulah t-shirt!
44:18What a jerk!
44:19It's Luis Bacoli!
44:24Luis just nailed Tommy Dreamer to the back of the head!
44:27And he's wearing a Beulah t-shirt!
44:29What a jerk!
44:37Raven nailed Tommy Dreamer who went questionably low!
44:41Here across the back of Raven!
44:51Terry wants payback for what Luis did to Tommy and Beulah!
44:57He's going for the Death Valley driver!
44:59It's going to be the Death Valley driver!
45:02Stevie, kick on Luis Bacoli!
45:05Cover!
45:12Forget the team!
45:13Did you see what just happened?
45:16Yeah!
45:17Stevie Richards just pinned the Heavyweight Champion of the World!
45:20CARE of the World!
