07:27What the hell is this?
07:36Little Guido has busted open!
07:46Referee John Peewee Moore asked politely not to get in the way.
08:05Referee John Peewee Moore has been knocked silly!
08:15One, two, and three.
08:18Oh, we've got another referee there, Jim Molyneux.
08:29This matchup, this beating has been all Cronus and Nugent.
08:45Oh, my God!
08:50Oh, my God!
08:53Oh, my God!
08:57Oh, my God!
09:01Oh, my God!
09:05A bloody Tracy smothered trouble to the floor, and you get the feeling that Conis and Nujac
09:22could end this matchup at any time.
09:25They're just punishing the FBI.
09:35And now we've got the Big Don in the ring.
09:55We're going to see a hit on the Big Don.
10:01No, he escaped.
10:05Oh, my God.
10:12He lost two referees in this matchup.
10:15John Clown is going up.
10:22450 split.
10:28It's the Dudley boys.
10:31The Dudley boys have hit the ring.
10:35The former ECW World Tag Team Champions have attacked Nujac and Conis.
10:46He's got a third referee in the ring now in Jeff Jones.
10:52Dudley did drop on Conis.
10:54A liquid.
11:02You're going to count this?
11:04Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and new ECW World Tag Team Champions, the FBI.
11:17Jeff Jones watched the Dudleys, hit 3-D on Conis, and then dropped Guido on top.
11:28He watched it.
11:29The Big Don just kissed Big Dick.
11:43This situation is going to get worse before it gets better.
11:55It's Paul's Mahoney and eggs, all right.
11:57Well, we were scheduled to have this matchup.
12:14Yes, we're starting it early.
12:17That's the good news.
12:18The bad news is Jeff Jones is the referee.
12:25Well, now we've got a matchup officially.
12:42Hitting the Dudley boys against Paul Fahoney and Axelrod.
12:48And the Dudleys are using the debris left of the ring by Conis and Nujac.
13:15To pick apart Balls and Axel.
13:27A bloodied FBI slowly making their way back from the locker room.
13:33They're our new World Tag Team Champions.
13:35Well, the Ray Dudley is down.
13:51Nujac and Cronus are back.
13:59We've got all four teams in the ring.
14:01We've got nine men in the ring.
14:18They're fisting up, fisting up, fisting up, fisting up, fisting up, fisting up, fisting up, fisting up.
14:30There's fists and feet flying everywhere!
14:33Now, officially, we've still got a mad jump hitting the Dudley Boys against Axl
14:49Wright and Balls Mahoney.
14:51And once again, Jeff Jones has taken him to sites.
15:03The FBI is still going at it with New Jack and Cronus.
15:14Devon Dudley unloads on Axl.
15:21Devon put up the leg on Axl.
15:39Two and a half.
15:44And Jeff Jones is wearing an official's shirt.
15:50He attempted to count to three.
15:52Maybe the only resemblance he bears to an ECW referee after what we've seen.
15:59Now, Balls is busted open as well.
16:04Ooh, he's got the testicular claw on Bubba Ray Dudley.
16:09Cover.
16:11Count him, get out of there.
16:17Jeff Jones didn't even go to make the count.
16:20Now we've got Big Dick in the ring.
16:22Chokeslam.
16:27Big Dick Dudley just chokeslammed Axl Rotten.
16:31Now he's gonna count.
16:32Well, John Finnegan has seen enough of this.
16:35Ref fight.
16:41Ref fight.
16:43Ref fight.
16:44Ref fight.
16:46Debon took a chair in the back.
16:48Inverted DD tear in the chair.
16:52D-Bot took a chair in the back.
16:56Inverta D-D-T on the chair.
16:59They got him!
17:07Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling.
17:10And as we head into the 5th Annual November to Remember,
17:14Sunday night, November 30th, live on Pay-Per-View,
17:17we have a new ECW World Heavyweight Champion in Bam Bam Bigelow.
17:21New ECW World Tag Team Champions in the full-blooded Italians.
17:28Will we have a new ECW World Television Champion?
17:31Later on tonight, you will see Rob Van Dam challenge Taz for that title.
17:36And on next week's program, we will see a three-way dance
17:40involving the franchise Shane Douglas, the former World Heavyweight Champion,
17:44Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer, who is returning to action
17:48with a bruised heel and several broken bones in his foot.
17:52And recently in Queens, New York City, Tommy returned as only he can.
18:00Hey, hey, hey, hey!
18:02You wouldn't hit me!
18:04You wouldn't hit me!
18:05I'm just a ring announcer!
18:07I gotta...
18:07I'm just a ring announcer!
18:09Don't hit me!
18:10Just don't do it!
18:11I'm your friend!
18:26Doug Furness and Phil LaFont.
18:30Arguably the most successful foreign tag team in the history of All Japan Pro Wrestling.
18:36And the tag team standouts at last year's WWE Survivor Series.
18:45They were scheduled to take on two-thirds of the Triple Threat.
18:49And no gimmicks needed Chris Candido and the Beast from the East, Bam Bam Bigelow.
18:56Well, Bigelow, the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
18:59is no longer a part of the Triple Threat.
19:07So we are short one competitor.
19:12Chris Candido
19:14does not have a tag team partner.
19:22He's got to find one.
19:25He's got to find four men to have a matchup.
19:27He's got to find four men to have a matchup.
19:29He's got to find two men to have a matchup.
19:30He's got to find three men to have a matchup.
19:35Who will Chris Candido choose?
19:44Chris Candido has chosen Lance Storm to be his tag team partner.
19:48And while Storm is not a member of the Triple Threat,
19:51he is in the company for the list,
19:52he has a matchup.
19:53Apparently, he is a prospect.
19:54It's one month to go here at ECW.
19:57As good as it gets.
19:58September 20, the two had an outstanding matchup that people are still talking about.
20:06Lance Storm let it all hang loose.
20:08Candido did so as well, but in the end, it was Chris Candido with the blonde bomb check,
20:28squeaking by Storm with the move named after a lovely, demure, soft-spoken young lady in
20:33his life.
20:36Apparently, and we have this from credible sources, Lance Storm was chosen to prospect
20:44for the triple threat by Chris Candido's significant other.
20:48Apparently, she said something about she liked his muscular development and the way he fills
20:54out his tights.
20:57Lance Storm and Chris Candido versus Doug Furnace and Phil LaFont.
21:08On paper, looks like a hell of a matchup.
21:12Lance Storm comes up with an arm ring in reverse.
21:20Storm takes over LaFont.
21:25Great chain wrestling by the two residents.
21:32Great country of Canada.
21:36Spinning back kick.
21:41Chopped to the float.
21:43Snapmare takes Lance Storm over.
21:45Storm goes up with a hammer lock into an arm bar tags and Chris Candido.
21:50Spinning back kick.
22:05Candido having a good time at the expense of Phil LaFont, he is entertaining.
22:13Well, Candido has a player for theatrics, but LaFont didn't find him that funny.
22:28In comes in the powerhouse.
22:32Former Tennessee Volunteer, Doug Furnace, looks like getting hit by a truck.
22:43Candido turned inside out by that shoulder block.
22:51He might want to tag Lance Storm back in.
23:01Purnace and LaFont would have to be considered the favorite in this matchup.
23:06They've been tag team partners for almost 10 years.
23:10We've dominated Old Japan Pro Wrestling and have been very successful here in the States.
23:17Dropped down by Purnace.
23:19Leapfrog.
23:20Beautiful drop kick right on the button.
23:24Cover to it.
23:26Great fundamentals by this tag team.
23:30Notice lateral press with the hook of the leg.
23:33It only made it a chance.
23:34There's a schoolboy out of the corner.
23:37Barely a two count.
23:41It's a tag in by Lance Storm.
23:47Candido and Storm working well together.
23:50Snap there out of the corner.
23:52Nice elbow.
23:53Full head of steam.
23:55Second elbow, cover hook of the leg.
23:57One count only.
24:03Nice takeover, but Storm hangs on.
24:05German suplex wasn't pretty, but Storm got crunched on the back of his neck.
24:22Back in comes Purnace.
24:24It's a face full of turnbuckle.
24:26In comes Candido.
24:36Double Irish whip.
24:38Double drop kick.
24:40And there's a forearm on Leapfrog.
24:46Chris Candido with the Pescato.
24:48Not to be outdone, Lance Storm goes up and over his web.
24:58What a tag team we have here in Chris Candido and Lance Storm.
25:06Candido telling Lance Storm, you're not a member of the Pescato.
25:12Well, that little tag-to-tag costume.
25:22Candido up in the light.
25:25Did you see the elevation?
25:28Lance Storm propelled through the air by Ferdinand LaFond.
25:32Now that's a back body drop.
25:35Now that's a back body drop.
25:47LaFond has Storm locked in a surfboard.
25:52Kick right to the chest.
25:54Kick between the shoulder blades to bring up the surfboard.
26:00A lot of wrestling fans don't realize how good Purnace and LaFond are.
26:04power slam cover hook of the leg to end that may be because they're not the type of guys
26:11that will tell you how good they are they do their talking in the ring
26:17they are a throwback to the old-fashioned journeyman wrestler
26:28beautiful boston crab
26:30candido breaks it up sensing that may have been the end

32:51Does Lance Storm have what it takes to join the most elite group of wrestlers
32:58in extreme championship wrestling?
33:01Will he be the newest member of the Triple Threat?
33:04The current ECW World Television Champion,
33:10ladies and gentlemen, this is Taz!
33:20And don't think Taz has forgotten how Bill Alfonso double-crossed him
33:25and barely leaked.
33:27Rob Van Dam with the spin kick caught Taz in the corner.
33:31Van Dam just soared over the head of referee John Peewee Moore.
33:40Both feet in the championship belt right in the face of Taz.
33:54Rob Van Dam with the distinct advantage early on in this matchup.
34:06Rob Van Dam's game plan obviously to strike first, strike fast, and strike hard.
34:14Taz runs into a boot.
34:20Kick downstairs and a snapmare.
34:24Tiger Taz plexed Van Dam gets spiked on the back of his head.
34:38This is not the first meeting between Taz and Rob Van Dam.
34:42The first time they met Van Dam broke Taz's nose, splattered it all over his face.
34:48And don't think Taz isn't looking for a receipt to this day.
35:02Irish whip is reversed.
35:07Van Dam misses that kick.
35:09Waist lock.
35:10Van Dam escaped the Taz planks but not the clothes lock.
35:19He's feeling like an animal.
35:22You know what I mean?
35:23To walk yourself.
35:24Watch out.
35:25Here we go.
35:26That was very informative.
35:28Thank you, Newt Rockne.
35:34Reversal.
35:35Taz, it's the steal and hard.
35:37Van Dam springboards off the steel guard rail and kicks Taz right in the face.
35:52Well, Van Dam may be well on his way to winning his first title here in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
35:59But Van Dam still all over Taz.
36:14Slingshot leg drop two and ten.
36:17But Van Dam still all over Taz.
36:22Slingshot leg drop two and ten.
36:27Taz kicks out.
36:34The world television champion has lots of fight left in him.
36:39Double underhook.
36:43Taz brought face first to the canvas.
36:48There's that wild man damn course through late.
36:50What a cover.
36:52You have got to be kidding me.
36:54Van Dam's ego may be bigger than this building.
36:59But he couldn't seriously think he was going to pit in Taz like that.
37:03Both feet to the back of the head.
37:07You know, the worst thing about Rob Van Dam may very well be that the only thing bigger than his massive ego is his wealth of talent.
37:17This is one amazing athlete.
37:24Taz gets crushed on the top rope.
37:30Slingshot kick to the face.
37:31Taz gets crushed on the face.
37:32He makes a strip for the Chief.
37:36He's the real champion.
37:39Al Alfonso Adorno has to count.
37:41He's got aretted boot count.
37:48Land Dam realized he couldn't man wrestle with Taz.
37:52And went back to the boots of the face.
37:57Bill Al Alfonso, purveyor of strip clubs and brothels all across America is on the move.
38:02is on the moon he's got a chair in his hands taz gets planted there's the chair
38:14this does not bode well for the human suplex machine
38:20van dam just hit the split-legged moonsault face first into the chair taz got it up there
38:33has now with those overhand right tires with clothesline misses spin kick does not
38:44van dam got the early advantage in this matchup and has stayed one step maybe even just a half a step

40:29Head and arm task plates.
40:36Rob Van Dam was preoccupied with Beulah
40:41and saving his manager, and he paid for it.
40:46I think the pitbulls just hit.
40:52That's the pitbulls along with Lance White.
40:57Lance White.
41:06Lance White sporting a neck brace
41:09as a result of what Taz did to him
41:12a couple of months back in Queens, New York City,
41:16as well as what happened here a month ago
41:18at the ECW Arena.
41:25And the pitbulls are dressed to the nines.
41:35Well, they've got some unfinished fishes with Taz.
41:39And they may be looking to finish it here tonight.
41:55The pitbulls have attacked Taz. Taz fighting off both pitbulls.
42:03Taz fighting off both pitbulls.
42:06Taz fighting off both pitbulls.
42:08Headbull two.
42:10Clothesline's tagged. Shortarm clothesline.
42:12The ECW World Television Champion is down.
42:31Headbutt.
42:32Vandaminator, the pitfall set-up task for Mr. Monday Night Raw Vandam.
42:44I know them.
42:47Those are Mrs. Wright's attorneys from Stanford, Connecticut.
42:53Lance is such a mama's boy.
42:59You know something, Taz?
43:02Just like Vince...
43:06You know something, Taz?
43:16Just like Vince was telling Rob Vandam and the pitfalls
43:20and Mr. Lance Wright while we were all sipping a cup of tea in New York,
43:26you are nothing but a paper champion.
43:30And Taz, while you think you stand for something,
43:33you don't know what you stand for.
43:35I'm gonna help you out, Taz.
43:37I'm gonna tell you what you really stand for.
43:40Hey, we are staking our ground.
43:45From this point on, we're declaring this building the WWF arena.
43:54What?
43:56That means each and every one of you are WWF fans.
44:02What?
44:03That means every belt is a WWF belt.
44:07Now, wait a minute.
44:08What the hell is going on?
44:10As you may have figured out by now, you are the WWF television champion.
44:23Taz continues...
44:25From one WWF wrestler to another.
44:27To try to fight...
44:28You're a good champ.
44:29Taz continues to try to fight to his feet.
44:33Only to be beaten down by both pitbulls and Rob Van Dam.
44:38He's up.
44:39Taz is up.
44:40He's hammering the pitbulls.
44:42Oh, he's got a lawyer.
44:43He's got the other lawyer.
44:48They've been cross-examined.
44:52Bam Bam Bigelow obviously took exception to those remarks about all belts being property of the WWF.
45:05He being the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
45:09ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW, ECW.
45:14And now we've got both of our singles champions.
45:17Taz, the World Television Champion, and Bam Bam Bigelow, the World Heavyweight Champion in the ring.
45:24Bigelow.
45:28Brother, you're a little confused.
45:33You're the new champion, right?
45:35You beat Shane Douglas.
45:37So I'll tell you what, big boy.
45:41I am the only real champion around here.
45:50I ain't f***ing you.
45:51I'm telling you to score.
45:53You want to interfere on my deal.
45:56I don't need your help or anybody's back there help.
46:00Yeah, I am f***ing you, brother.
46:02And next time you interfere on my deal, we're gonna see who the real champion is.
46:09We'll see, my f***ing you.
46:13Of all the ungrateful, miserable, Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow are nose to nose.
46:20Bigelow came out to help Taz.
46:25Oh, we've got a problem here.
46:27The locker room is empty, trying to keep these two apart.
46:38The World Heavyweight Champion came to the aid of the World Television Champion.
46:44And Taz doesn't want anyone's help.
46:46Get him out!
46:55In a strange series of events, has turned Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow against one another!
47:00Here they go again!
