00:00Hello, everyone, and welcome to Xtreme Championship Wrestling.
00:10I'm Joey Stiles at the Elk Lodge in Queens, New York City!
00:40In Xtreme, in Xtreme, in Xtreme!
01:10We covered this last Sunday night, and I know what the doctors have said, that you have
01:38broken back and you can never wrestle again.
01:41And despite that, I know that you can kick my all over New York City.
01:46I know!
01:51You are Rick Rude.
01:52You're one of the biggest stars in the history of this sport, and you can do whatever you want.
01:57The point I'm making is, I'm not gonna get swerved with you, I know better I've seen what you've done.
02:12You turn your backs on the fans of ECW, and that's fine.
02:15But if you're gonna hire out your services and be an insurance policy for some male stripper,
02:19boy, toy, sports entertainer, that's your business.
02:22And I'm not gonna get swerved with you, I know better I've seen what you've done.
02:25You turn your backs on the fans of ECW, and that's fine.
02:29But if you're gonna hire out your services and be an insurance policy for some male stripper,
02:38boy, toy, sports entertainer, that's your business.
02:42You can do whatever you want.
02:43You're Rick Rude.
02:44The microphone is yours, but I want nothing to do with it.
02:48You're a smart kid, Stiles, not much in the looks department, but you got a good brain.
02:58Now take a walk.
03:00Now I know what they mean when they say, from the penthouse to the house.
03:20Listen, people, I was paid to do a job, or should I say, I was laid to do a job.
03:38Now it's time for me to get the job done.
03:41So without further ado, what I'd like to have right now...
03:54What I'd like to have right now is for all you fat, out of shape, queens...
04:07Hey, that's pretty good.
04:09All you fat, out of shape, queens...
04:12Shut your holes and open your eyes while I give you the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
04:22the bright side of Shane Lundgren.
04:39Some bigiliques, is softly popped the right and slanted out of shape.
04:41You're the thirdple'm behind you...
04:42Oh!
04:43There's nothing at all around Thank you, Grandrunuse.
04:44Here's nothing at all.
04:46Aww!
04:47There's nothing at all around you changing your eyes,
04:52I'm trying to wait New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New New.
05:36All I can say is all you want to talk about my penis, it's big enough to hold up 16 pounds of gold.
05:53Mr. Rude, I know there are some boys out there that need a man like you to protect them.
06:07Well, a great champion like me needs a great athlete like you to challenge me to be the greatest ECW World Heavyweight Champion of all time.
06:24And so I understand you've been preparing an opponent.
06:31You know, Shane, I just want to clarify one thing right off the bat.
06:41Whether it be protection or inspiration, you pay the premium to get the premium.
06:52Show your tips!
07:04Like I said before we were interrupted by these lowlife scumbags.
07:33You've got to pay the premium to get the premium.
07:38Now whether you pay in cash or in gash, it doesn't matter to me.
07:45You paid me, Shane Douglas, to make you the best you can be.
07:49You paid me to take you places where no man besides myself has gone before.
07:55In order to do that, Shane, I've got to push you every day.
08:01You've got to push yourself to the limit every day.
08:05So I've chosen an opponent for you.
08:08I've hand-picked this fella.
08:09I've only had three days to work with him.
08:12But he should give you a run for your money.
08:14He's a tough kid.
08:16So without further ado, from Lima, Ohio, weighing in at 235 pounds,
08:26the very capable, Al Ngo!
08:32The very capable, Al Ngo!
10:02Well, while others seek out the protection of Rick Rude, it appears Mr. Rude's relationship
10:11to the franchise, Shane Douglas, is similar to that of Custom Auto and Mike Tyson.
10:16Rick Rude picking the opposition for the franchise, trying to make the franchise the best world
10:23heavyweight champion he can be.
10:24Al Snow blocked the slap pad, one of his own, for the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
10:34If Rick Rude thinks Al Snow is a tune-up for Douglas, he may have made a mistake.
10:40Go to the midsection.
10:44There are clotheslines.
10:49Douglas being floored.
10:52Al still hooks the arms.
10:53Consecutive headbutts to the left shoulder of the franchise.
11:03Takes him over, drop kick in the face, too.
11:06Another boot to the midsection.
11:14Al Snow lighting up the World Heavyweight Champion.
11:20Snap there out of the corner.
11:21Al Snow now lands on an armbar.
11:31Nice leverage.
11:33Steps over the head of the franchise.
11:36One knee on the canvas.
11:37Douglas rolls through now.
11:39Back to his feet, alleviating the leverage advantage that Al Snow has.
11:43Irish move out of the corner, countered by Snow.
11:49Snow hooks Douglas high and slams him down to the canvas.
11:56This may have been a bad idea on the part of Rick Rude.
11:59Covered two and the franchise kicks out at two.
12:04Francine wasn't taking any chances.
12:07She put the foot of the franchise across the bottom rope.
12:13Rick Rude looks on.
12:16As does the head cheerleader, Francine.
12:22Snow goes back to the arm.
12:24He wants to beat him up.
12:29Rick Rude just sees Al Snow as a workout.
12:32This is a World Heavyweight title matchup.
12:40Reversal out of the corner.
12:41Snow again counters.
12:43Who then caught Rude by the franchise.
12:47Standing dropkick.
12:51And a clothesline that sends the challenger to the floor.
12:56The 250-pound ECW World Heavyweight Champion showing his agility.
13:03Francine is loving it.
13:04Ric Rude actually giving advice to Al Snow.
13:19Well, the franchise wanted Rude to test him.
13:25This may backfire on Douglas and Rude, though.
13:28Al Snow is a real pro who has been everywhere in professional wrestling.
13:35He could upset Douglas here tonight.
13:37It may be a bad idea.
13:50Shoulder block.
13:55Oh, it lands on his feet.
13:56Nicely done.
13:58Press and kick right to the point of the draw.
14:00Al Snow making friends here in Queens.
14:13Superkick coming up.
14:17He missed.
14:18The franchise rolled through.
14:20Clothesline by Douglas.
14:20Stinges up snow.
14:28Textbook vertical suplex.
14:30And if you want to raise the ire of the franchise,
14:35oh, boy, did you just mimic the right man.
14:39Pile drive.
14:52Ric Rude looks happy now.
14:57The franchise, the ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
15:01in complete...
15:02Inverted, rolling, next step.
15:07It was brutal.
15:15Douglas takes pride in snapping necks.
15:23They're exchanging chops.
15:24The franchise got the better of that exchange.
15:30Snow set for the ride.
15:32It's hard.
15:33Belly to belly's duplex coming up.
15:34No.
15:35Snow escapes.
15:40Snow rammed into the turnbuckle.
15:52Irish whip.
15:53Snow hits hard again and crumbles out of the corner.
15:56Douglas now locking on his version of the Camel Clutch.
16:12And that can't make Sabu happy.
16:16Douglas the most controversial athlete in our sport
16:20and loving it.
16:28And now that the franchise is once again the ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
16:33the triple threat is stronger than ever.
16:35Right in front of Francine.
16:36Who just slapped Al Starr right across.
16:52And then they have woken Snow up.
16:57That did wake Snow up.
16:59Francine now backing up.
17:07Francine raked the back of Al Snow.
17:16Snow diverted his attention from the franchise.
17:18That cost him road first across the steel guard rail.
17:25Oh, she's so proud of herself.
17:31Douglas now.
17:32The boot right in the throat of Al Snow.
17:35Douglas now peeling back the match
17:49that the New York State Athletic Commission mandates
17:52all athletic contests must have.
17:58Snow catches the franchise.
18:00He's going to suplex Al Snow.
18:06Snow blocks it.
18:09Reverse zone.
18:11Both men hit hard.
18:14Both men down on the floor.
18:16DCO! DCO! DCO! DCO! DCO!
18:19DCO!
18:20DCO!
18:21DCO!
18:22DCO!
18:23DCO!
18:24Both men now fighting to get up.
18:25Rick Rude lending a helping hand.
18:30radio Damni!
18:32And then we're giving advice to Al Snow.
18:35paint your time getting in the ring.
18:38Francine trying to rally the fans behind the franchise.
18:43Good luck.
18:44Snap Bair.
18:45Takes Al Snow over.
18:52Douglas again, with his version of the camel clutch.
18:55Still able to get an arm off the knee of the franchise.
19:02That will alleviate some of the leverage.
19:05Pulling back on his spine.
19:12Douglas just riding still higher now.
19:23Al Snow got his feet underneath him.
19:25Douglas dropped nose first across the top rope.
19:35The franchise now down in the corner.
19:38Getting words of encouragement for both Rick Rude and the head cheerleader of Rancy.
19:43Al Snow with a fist right to the midsection.
19:50A boot follows.
19:54Here's a haymaker.
19:55Rest and kick again on the point of the jaw.
20:04Douglas sent for the ride.
20:06Dropped down by Snow.
20:08Spinning heel kick right in the much.
20:11Cover.
20:15That was close.
20:16Back the other way.
20:28Douglas being bounced around and then almost hip-tossed right into the turnbuckle.
20:32Make no doubt about it.
20:38The ECW World Heavyweight title is in jeopardy.
20:43Douglas goes downstairs.
20:48The franchise sensed he was in trouble.
20:51That's what he is most dangerous.
20:52And he will do anything to hold on to that World Heavyweight title.
20:59A title he created in August of 1994.
21:10Irish Whip.
21:11No ducks to clothesline.
21:13Tucks a back elbow.
21:16Counters the hood.
21:17And Conrado!
21:18Two and a half.
21:24Two and a half with a modified Tiger Bomb.
21:30Rick Rude and Francine look at one another.
21:32They've got no answers.
21:33The franchise is down.
21:34And Al Snow is thinking upset.
21:43Snow now slapping the World Heavyweight.
21:49It's an odd look on Al Snow's face.
21:55Fans now chanting.
21:56Let's go, Al.
21:59Douglas, boot to the midsection.
22:01Backslide coming up.
22:01Who's going to get it?
22:02It's Douglas.
22:04Two count only.
22:05Douglas did not drive the legs.
22:07Clothesline on the franchise.
22:19Al Snow now mocking the triple threat.
22:23Says this is all.
22:25Al Snow looking to finish off Shane Douglas
22:27and become the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion
22:31right here in Queens, New York City.
22:34Douglas countering the powerbomb roll-up.
22:45Snow rolls through.
22:47Puts the legs.
22:49Douglas flips him over.
22:51Snow on top.
22:53Douglas rolls to his side.
22:59Clothesline misses.
22:59There's the belly-to-belly suplex.
23:02There's the belly-to-belly suplex.
23:05Shane Douglas hit the belly-to-belly.
23:07If he can cover Al Snow, the matchup is over.
23:12But Douglas is still stunned.
23:14Rick Rude rolls him over.
23:16Douglas crawling towards the challenger.
23:19Cover!
23:19Cover!
23:22Al Snow gets the left shoulder up.
23:24Douglas couldn't cover Snow fast enough.
23:30Can Douglas put Al Snow away?
23:34Douglas picking up Snow.
23:45Atomic drop in the corner.
23:51Belly-to-belly-to-belly, no.
23:55Reverse by Snow.
23:57He nailed the franchise.
24:01Al Snow, great fun.
24:03The franchise's leg came across and hooked his own overhead.
24:08Belly-to-belly suplex on the franchise.
24:11Can he capitalize?
24:13Can he put away Douglas and become ECW World Heavyweight Champion?
24:18Again, waistlocked, elbow to the face.
24:21He escapes again, headbutt.
24:24There it is, off the rope, hook of the leg.
24:28It's over.
24:31Shane Douglas retained the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.
24:36Ooh, yay.
25:02Go to the cards.
25:04Hype.
25:04Lance!
25:10Comb your hair.
25:11The gel going.
25:12The look, the do.
25:13Shave your face.
25:14The tan.
25:15Hype, hype, remember?
25:16Hype Central.
25:16Hype, go to the shows.
25:17Hype, hype, hype.
25:19Lance!
25:20Got your old job back.
25:22Oh, Joe, you got me my old job back.
25:24I suppose Joel Gertner's too big to do Hype Central now that he's with the Dudleys.
25:29I suppose you want me to go up in a helicopter so I can follow the Sandman around and maybe
25:34I can do Hype Central from up there in the helicopter.
25:37You know, I could have co-hosted WrestleMania.
25:41I could have made the jump to Nitro.
25:43But my agent said, hey, babe, Mr. Wright, let's go back to ECW.
25:51It's young.
25:51It's hip.
25:52It's irreverent.
25:53And I said, okay, I'll give it another whirl.
25:56You know, they could use a talent like me.
25:58But no, this is the only gig you're going to give me.
26:01Hype Central.
26:02I've been there.
26:03I've done that.
26:04You know what, Joey?
26:05Why don't you hype it up?
26:06Why don't you get me something a little more high profile?
26:10It's over.
26:14Joey, I love you.
26:16You're beautiful.
26:17Don't ever change.
26:18And if you do, hey, babe, call Collect.
26:21They love Taz in New York.
26:39They love Taz in New York.
26:51The ECW World Television Champion, Taz, is always all business.
27:21Our next contest is for the ECW World Television title.
27:38One ball with a 20-minute time limit.
27:40Your referee, Jeff Jones.
27:45First, the challenger in the corner to my left from Quito, Ecuador.
27:50Weighing in at 184 pounds, Pablo Marquez.
28:00And in the corner to my right, weighing in at 248 pounds,
28:06from the Red Hook section of Brooklyn,
28:10he is the current ECW World Television Champion,
28:15the U.S. Newback Machine.
28:18Taz!
28:18Listen to that ovation.
28:26And Pablo Marquez thinks he's leaving Queens
28:44with the ECW World Television title belt.
28:49I'll bet Taz has other ideas.
28:51One more, two more, two more, two more, two more.
29:06Two more, three more.
29:08Cow on an elbow tie-up.
29:09Throw behind by Taz.
29:10Waist-lock, standing switch.
29:12Hammer-lock by Taz.
29:13Reversal by Marquez.
29:21That's a cut to Haruma, a judo pro.
29:30As now riding Marquez with a headlock.
29:34Marquez gets to the rope.
29:35Taz just letting Pablo Marquez know that Matt Wrestling is not going to dethrone the human suplex machine.
29:46They tie up again.
29:48Waistlocked by Taz.
29:51Standing switch.
29:52Hammerlock.
29:54Reversed again.
30:03Vicious crossface.
30:05And while that will get you disqualified in NCAA competition.
30:21We have no such constraints here at ECW.
30:29Has making an example of Pablo Marquez.
30:32Irish whip.
30:41Tip up out of the corner.
30:42Back the other way.
30:44He got caught.
30:48Did he ever get caught?
30:50Well-placed stop on the back of the head.
31:02Reversal on the Irish whip.
31:09Leapfrogged by Marquez.
31:10Waistlocked.
31:11German Taz-Flex.
31:18Turns Pablo Marquez inside out.
31:20And this crowd here in New York City wants to see Taz finish off Pablo Marquez.
31:33He got a two-count on Taz.
31:34He got a two-count on Taz.
31:46He...
31:46Be right back.
31:49T-Bone Taz-Flex.
31:59T-Bone Taz-Flex.
32:00T-Bone Taz-Flex.
32:10There it is, the Kata Hajime, the transmission!
32:13Pablo Orquez is tapped out!
32:33The Human Suplex Machine is still the ECW World Television Champion.
32:38Don't forget, later on tonight, the main event headed your way, a free match from last week.
32:43The Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer, and Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Poole.
32:50Hey, I'm Jenna Jameson, and coming up is the big, big, big event.
32:57Yummy!
33:00Thank you to my new broadcast colleague, Jenna Jameson.
33:03I've never seen any of her films, I understand she's very talented.
33:06What is she starring in right now?
33:09On June 7th of this year, Tommy Dreamer defeated Raven and ran him out of ECW.
33:15Then, he defeated Luis Spicoli in an i-quit match, ran him out of ECW.
33:19At Hardcore Heaven 97, Tommy Dreamer downed Jerry the King Lawler of the World Wrestling Federation.
33:26We haven't seen Lawler in ECW since.
33:29Tonight, the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer goes one-on-one with the traitor of ECW, Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Damme.
33:39Will Van Damme disgrace ECW on national TV?
33:42Or will Tommy cleanse ECW of Mr. Monday Night?
33:46At this time, I'd like to introduce the self-proclaimed most admired man in all of wrestling today,
33:56Bill Alfonso.
34:03And the accompanies, weighing 234 pounds, now riding in Cypher and Nugget, Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Damme.
34:15His opponent, accompanied in the ring by Beulah McGillicuddy, from New York, the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer!
34:34This is a rematch from last week.
34:44Rob Van Damme got the victory over Dreamer, thanks to outside interference from Sabu.
34:51And a trash can.
34:53If Tommy wants to even it up this week, and get a victory over Mr. Monday Night,
35:00he's got to strike hard and strike fast, before Sabu can come to the rescue of his partner.
35:12And the fans here in New York City are solidly behind the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer.
35:19But we're gonna get a commercial out of the way now, so we can bring you this match in its entirety.
35:30They are face-to-face.
35:48The traitor, Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Damme.
35:59And the young man who carries the banner of ECW, Tommy Dreamer.
36:11They tie upside, headlocked by Rob Van Damme.
36:18Tommy shoves him off, brought down by Tommy Dreamer.
36:21Hip-tossed block into the midsection.
36:23Corkscrew leg drop to the back of the neck.
36:26Freer face first into the canvas.
36:28Another corkscrew leg drop, this time again to the nose.
36:35And look at Rob Van Damme strut around.
36:39Doesn't follow up, doesn't capitalize on a pair of great moves.
36:42Now he's picking his shots.
36:54There are forearms.
36:55Iris flips foot-legged drop down.
36:57Up and over goes Tommy.
36:58Hip-tossed block.
37:00Swinging neck breaker, beautifully done.
37:02Clothesline sends Van Damme to the outside.
37:12Drop kick right to the ankle sends Van Damme face first.
37:18into the ring apron.
37:30Roselyne turning off the apron to the floor.
37:38Clothesline off the apron to the floor.
37:54The innovator of violence adding insult to injury.
38:04Van Damme hits the steal.
38:08Face first this time.
38:15Oh, no.
38:17Van Damme getting bounced around the ringside area,
38:23trying to shake it off.
38:26Oh, no.
38:28Van Damme getting bounced around the ringside area,
38:31trying to shake it off.
38:34Oh, no.
38:36Oh, no.
38:37Oh, no.
38:39Oh, no.
38:41Van Damme moved.
38:43Tommy took the chair right in the face.
38:45As well as the noid rail.
38:47Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
38:49Tommy, Tommy.
38:51Tommy, Tommy.
38:53Tommy, Tommy.
38:55Tommy, Tommy.
38:56Tommy.

38:59Tommy, Tommy.
39:00Tommy's contemporarily above it.
39:02Tommy, Tommy.
39:04isel Warren, Tommy, Tommy.
39:06Tommy gets crushed on the guard rail.
39:14Alfonso holding the chair in place for Van Damme.
39:23Side kick to the chair to the face.
39:26DC Dumb, DC Dumb, DC Dumb, DC Dumb, DC Dumb, DC Dumb.
39:33You are watching Extreme Championship Wrestling from Queens, New York City.
39:44As Van Damme again strutting around the ring.
39:49Tommy rolls back in.
39:53No wonder he's conscious.
39:59Both feet right in the face.
40:03And again, instead of capitalizing, Van Damme soaking up the spotlight.
40:18He loves being Mr. Monday Night.
40:21And again, Van Damme showboating for the crowd.
40:24And again, Van Damme showboating for the crowd.
40:28Do you think he doesn't know this is on national television?
40:44Showboating for the crowd
40:49You think he doesn't know this is on national television
41:02Stupid a slam
41:10And I'm up to the top rope in one motion
41:14Frog splash with authority
41:21Goes Tommy over, very nonchalant cover
41:26Tommy gets the shoulder up
41:31Alfonso now with the chair up on the apron
41:39Tommy duck
41:41Van Damme takes the chair to the face
41:46Tommy still staggering though
41:49Still shaking up
41:59Van Damme is tied to the tree of low
42:02And Tommy is now calling for a chair
42:05Beulah obliges
42:06Beulah obliges
42:18Both feet right into the chair in the face of Rob Van Damme
42:22Beulah obliges
42:24Beulah obliges
42:26Beulah obliges
42:28Beulah obliges
