00:00My name is Buh! Buh! Buh! Come on! Come on! Come on! Come on! Dance, Bubba, dance! Dance! Come on, you remember? About two years ago! Come on!
00:19Remember? You fell for that hokey s**t! All your smart marks! Remember that? When all of you jumped on the big babyface bandwagon and f**king worshipped the ground that Bubba Ray Dudley walked on!
00:49Extreme
00:54Championship
00:59Warfare
03:04We're about to witness a Rumble-style South Philadelphia street fight.
03:08And we'll start with Batman, former three-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the Extreme
03:16Icon, the Sandman, and the 350-plus-pound bohemian from Dudleyville.
03:27Bubba Ray Dudley.
03:30Every two minutes, one of either the Sandman's or Bubba Ray Dudley's teammates will join the
03:36fray.
03:37The Sandman's teammates are Tommy Dreamer, the innovator of violence, who must have Julio McGillicuddy
03:45on his mind.
03:47Little Spike Dudley, the estranged brother of the Dudley Boys, and a wanton street criminal
03:56in Jerome Young, known on the streets and here in ECW as New Jack.
04:02Bubba Ray Dudley's tag team partners, his brothers, Steve-Od Dudley, Big Dick Dudley, and Jack Victory.
04:13For you fans who may be new to ECW, this is the Sandman, whose training regimen consists of, well,
04:23packed of unfiltered cigarettes, as much beer as he can consume, and the adulation of ECW
04:32fans, perhaps like no other athlete, ever to compete in extreme championship wrestling.
04:40If a fall does not occur beforehand, then the tag team partners of Oka Sandman and Bubba Ray Dudley
04:48at two-minute intervals will make their way into the ring, each carrying a weapon.
04:55Ladies and gentlemen, what you're about to witness will not be pretty.
04:59We've got to take a commercial break, but when we come back, highlights from this Rumble-style
05:05South Philly street fight.
05:13What you are witnessing is a piece of footage that will never be forgotten by anyone.
05:183D, the Dudley death drop, a move that took out the gangstans, the eliminators, and the
05:26Sandman, and now 105-pound Beulah McGillicuddy, a victim of the Dudley death drop.
05:35And that action has led us into this Rumble-style South Philadelphia street fight.
05:40I feel like I'm in a pool hall, and the toughness guy in town is about to fight the neighborhood
05:50boys.
05:50But the man stole his back.
05:51Sandman with the Singapore cane, LeRae Dudley with the steel chair.
06:06The Sandman connects with the ankle of Bubba Ray Dudley.
06:22Oh, the Ducks, the Sandman Ducks.
06:28And connected.
06:29Bubba Ray's out for the ride.
06:30Oh, my God.
06:34Oh, my God.
06:38Bubba Ray Dudley connects with the steel chair, catching the Sandman squarely between the
06:41eyes, and down goes the extreme eye cut.
06:46But I do hit back.
06:56I've hated you since the first day I've gotten in here.
07:08All you have is that cane, a beer, and a pack of cigarettes.
07:18I've been paying my dues in this company for as long as your wife has been raving.
07:31Oh, this street fight is off!
07:33Oh, this street fight is off!
07:34Oh, this street fight is off!
07:36Oh, this street fight is off!
07:41And victory with the garbage can.
07:46Both men duck clotheslines.
07:50The Sandman gets pancaked.
07:57The Sandman being double-teamed.
08:03And got by Bubba Ray Dudley and Jack Victory.
08:08Hey, Jim, Jim Fullington, you live by the cane, and you're gonna die by it.
08:23Take a poor cane between the eyes.
08:26We are just seconds away from the first of the Sandman's tag-team partners.
08:33Making his way, and it's gonna be Tommy Dreamer, the innovator of violence.
08:38For the first time since New Orleans, is gonna get his hands on Jack Victory,
08:43and Bubba Ray Dudley, he wants romance from Bueller.
08:47Jack Victory, and down into that barbed wire.
08:55We have got barbed wire in the ring.
08:58The Andy, the Andy has been up with only four out of a month in the ring at this time.
09:06Number 8, Dudley, this is the spread.
09:09Reba with the hood and Conrado.
09:15Innovator of violence is simply the innovator of offense.
09:21But violence on the list.
09:27And now Bubba Ray Dudley takes the barbed wire.
09:38And victory up and over the top rope to the concrete floor here at the ECW Arena.
10:01The Sandman gets nailed again.
10:03Victory into the stand.
10:07I'm not sure the Dudleys and Jack Victory understand what they've started in New Orleans.
10:23Yvonne Dudley has joined this street fight.
10:29And this former letter carrier is going postal.
10:34The Sandman now being raked across the face with that barbed wire.
10:41His head is totally engulfed in barbed wire.
10:47And Bubba Ray Dudley with his taped fist driving the barbs through the skin of the sand.
10:55Now with the Singapore cane on the throat.
10:59Look at Jeff Jones in sight.
11:09God!
11:10That's not Buhlin!
11:11That's not funny!
11:12That's that damn doll from last week in the ambulance!
11:15It wasn't funny last week!
11:17It's not funny tonight quite frankly!
11:19Sending a 105 pound woman to the hospital and trying to break her damn neck isn't funny at all!
11:27And another one of the Sandman and Tommy Dreamers partners have joined the street fight!
11:33It's little Spike Dudley!
11:36Little Spike Dudley!
11:39Spike from the go-behind on Bubba!
11:45Swinging Bulldog!
11:47Swinging Bulldog!
11:48Where in the hell is he going?
11:51Where in the hell is he going?
11:56Oh my god!
12:00Victory head first for the table!
12:13There to the face of Bubba Ray Dudley!
12:20Big Dick Dudley!
12:22That behemoth hammering Dreamer!
12:28Little Spike with Bubba Ray!
12:31Sidewalk slam on the ladder!
12:34Bubba Ray hammering Dreamer!
12:40And Dreamer is firing back!
12:47It's New Jack!
12:49And New Jack is feeling right at home in this Philadelphia street fight!
13:03All eight men have now joined this South Philadelphia street fight!
13:12And again, I repeat, none of them is more at home than the original Gangsta New Jacks!
13:26And again, they've been on violence with a shopping cart!
13:33Swinging Bulldog on D-board!
13:35Bumber Ray Dudley makes the save!
13:44Bumber Ray Dudley makes the save!
13:50Bumber Ray Dudley makes the save!
13:53Bumber Ray Dudley makes the save!
13:57Awww!
13:59Bumber Ray valves!
14:01Bumber Ray Including the putz!
14:03Bumber Ray wires escape!
14:04Here it comes!
14:05Tommy said he had something new!
14:06Something
14:07That would be copied on every Monday Night Wrestling Program!
14:10The Dreamer Driver!
14:15Jack Victory saw New Jack coming with a chair!
14:19New Jack took the guitar and the chair right in his wrist that had to knock the wind out of him!
14:26It's over!
14:29The Dudleys and Jack Victory have won this Rumble-style South Philadelphia Street Fight!
14:38Jack Victory stays one step ahead of New Jack and he had better keep moving!
14:43And the Dudleys better keep moving as well because they're still wanted by their little brother Spike, the Sandman, and especially Tommy Dreamer who wants revenge for Beulah!
14:53Speaking of Beulah, on a personal aside, this is not a commentary on anyone who's currently in ECW or who has been here in the past.
15:00But Beulah is more than just some TNA spectacle.
15:03Yes, we've exploited her for her sex appeal. Guilty as charged! Undeniable!
15:08But she brings more to the table. It was last year.
15:11As good as it gets, Tommy Dreamer and Rob Van Dam eliminated themselves from a mixed tag team matchup.
15:17Left in the ring, 105-pound Beulah McGillicuddy and Bill Alfonso.
15:22Look at this!
15:31Bullseye!
15:36Bullseye!
15:37And the Innovator of Ireland has rubbed off on Beulah!
15:49Oh, Bill Alfonso has busted open! She caught him good!
16:01Bullseye!
16:05Immunionen when the Reds started.
16:10Mueller throws Alfonso to the outside.
16:18He hits the steal!
16:24Fonzie up and over the guard rail into the first throw!
16:34He's a bloody miss!
16:43Hewlett's got a frying pan!
16:54Fonzie goes long!
16:59I don't think he can see out of that right eye!
17:04It's horrible!
17:24Okay!
17:27Go away!
17:30You're a champion!
18:00Eula blocks the suplex!
18:10Blocks it twice!
18:12DDT!
18:14Come on, she hooks the leg!
18:17This baby!
18:18Two-cat!
18:20Hansi misses a close line!
18:32Eula does not!
18:36You are watching the most extreme mixtape team anthem in the history of professional wrestling!
18:44Eula McGillicuddy and Bill Alfonso are going at it!
18:48Rob Van Dam has left, and Dreamer is injured at ringside!
19:06The exchange trunks in the corner!
19:12Alfonso signaling that...
19:15He's going up top!
19:17He can barely stand for the loss of blood!
19:27He's going for a moonsault!
19:33Oh, did he ever get caught!
19:35Now he's tied to the Trio Wolves!
19:47Shades of Tommy Dreamer!
19:49Bula is taking it to the extreme!
20:03Bula is taking it to the extreme!
20:07Bula is taking it to the extreme!
20:11Alfonso can barely see!
20:13Bula is going to go for the moonsault!
20:15We've seen her do it before!
20:17But Alfonso is on his feet!
20:19He's going to powerbomb Bula!
20:21He's going to powerbomb Bula!
20:23He's going to powerbomb Bula out of the corner!
20:25He's going to powerbomb Bula!
20:27He's going to powerbomb Bula out of the corner!
20:31He's got her up!
20:33Bula can run up!
20:37He's going to powerbomb Bula!
20:41Your winner is the team of Tommy Dreamer and Bula!
21:07He's going to have won!
21:09He's going to go for the
21:27J.Y.
21:29He's going to powerbomb B.
21:31We all wish Buell McGillicuddy a speedy recovery.
21:57We hope to speak with her as soon as she is well enough
21:59to appear on camera.
22:02But right now it is time for this week's main event,
22:06an I Quit matchup,
22:08Jerry Lynn versus Justin Credible.
22:16And as good as it gets,
22:19Justin Credible made his ECW debut,
22:22defeating Jerry Lynn.
22:26Then on May 14th of this year
22:28in Queens, New York, ECW It Ain't Seinfeld,
22:33Jerry Lynn scored an upset victory over Justin Credible.
22:37A week later, here at the ECW Arena,
22:41at a matter of respect 98,
22:43Justin Credible stole, stole!
22:46A two-out-of-three full matchup against Jerry Lynn,
22:53which leads us into tonight's I Quit match.
22:58I didn't need to see Nicole Bass.
23:01That's gently clad.
23:02I want to quit!
23:03Don't make Darwin scratch his head.
23:17Don't make Darwin scratch his head.
23:19Don't make Darwin scratch his head.
23:21Just incredible.
23:22Just incredible.
23:23Just incredible.
23:24Usually with that cocky swagger,
23:25takes his time getting into the ring.
23:27He was in a hurry tonight.
23:28He's got something to prove.
23:30Just incredible.
23:32Just incredible.
23:45Justin Credible believes that Jerry Lynn's victory over him
23:47in Queens, New York, was a fluke.
23:51Just incredible with upset victories
23:53over the great Sasuke.
23:54Gran Hamada, Tommy Dreamer,
23:56in a first blood matchup,
23:58and Mikey Whitbrack in Buffalo, New York,
24:00was on a tear,
24:01but sort-haled it by Jerry Lynn.
24:04And the athletic competition
24:06and rivalry between these two
24:09has only just begun.
24:12When we come back,
24:14we will cover in its entirety
24:16this I Quit match.
24:22Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling.
24:26We are going to cover
24:27this entire I Quit match.
24:29The sexiest man on earth
24:32from Ozone, New York,

24:37at 222 pounds,
24:40Justin Credible!
24:46Interesting entourage he's got there.
24:52And his fan club is here.
24:56And his opponent
24:58from Minneapolis, Minnesota,
25:01weighing in at 216 pounds,
25:05Jerry Lynn!
25:10Jerry Lynn has earned the respect
25:13of these hard-to-please
25:17ECW Arena fans.
25:22And they will surely be backing
25:24Jerry Lynn tonight
25:25in his quest for another victory
25:28over Justin Credible.
25:30But tonight,
25:32this matchup will not end
25:33via pinfall.
25:35This matchup can only end
25:37by a submission.
25:42Collin' elbow tie-up.
25:44Handful of hair.
25:46Jerry Lynn
25:46back into the corner.
25:49Knife at the chop.
25:52Jerry Lynn fires back.
25:54He will not be intimidated
25:55by Justin Credible.
25:56This is more than just
26:04an athletic competition.
26:06This is an intense rivalry.
26:10Move to the midsection.
26:14Inverted atomic drop
26:16into a flapjack.
26:18Jerry Lynn was going
26:21for the ankle-op submission.
26:23Justin Credible went
26:24right for the bottom rope.
26:28Station with some instruction
26:29for Justin Credible.
26:32And Cole Bass
26:33with that trucker-like mouth
26:34putting the bad mouth
26:35on Jerry Lynn.
26:37And that oh-so-feminine voice
26:40of hers.
26:41Go to the midsection.
26:48Side headlock now.
26:53Wide base by Justin Credible.
26:56Top wrist lock now.
26:58A handful of hair
26:58back into the side headlock.
27:03Justin Credible
27:04keeping that wide base
27:05for leverage.
27:08There are four
27:09for the midsection.
27:11Shoulder block.
27:12Dropped down by Jerry Lynn.
27:14Leaf drop.
27:15Play of steam.
27:17He caught the boot.
27:18Dragon screw leg whip.
27:24Justin Credible
27:25to the outside.
27:27Jerry Lynn may have already
27:28softened up the right leg
27:30of Justin Credible.
27:32Again, there's Jason.
27:34Immediately rushes
27:35to the side
27:36of his meal ticket.
27:37No doubt questioning
27:40the severity
27:41of the possible injury
27:45to the leg
27:45of Justin Credible.
27:48Jerry Lynn,
27:50reigned by Eddie Sharkey
27:52out of Minneapolis, Minnesota,
27:54joins the ranks
27:56of ravishing Rick Rude,
27:59the Road Warriors,
28:00as well as other graduates
28:01of that camp.
28:03Justin Credible.
28:04Justin Credible.
28:05I believe this is
28:06a little-known fact.
28:08Trained for a while
28:09in Calgary.
28:12And I believe
28:13Stu Hart calls that
28:14his biggest mistake.
28:16That's not a castigation
28:17of the skills
28:20of Justin Credible,
28:21rather a reflection
28:22on Justin's temperament
28:23and attitude.
28:24I'm not going to compare
28:25Justin's skills
28:26to that of saying
28:27Davey Boy Smith
28:28of Jim Neidhart.
28:30You fans at home,
28:31feel free.
28:33Here's a kick
28:34to the side of the head.
28:40Gary Lynn now
28:41with the single-leg
28:42Boston Crab.
28:44Think about it.
28:44Stu Hart calls training
28:46Justin Credible,
28:47his biggest mistake.
28:49That covers a lot of grab.
28:55Forearm for the face.
28:57Stoop and a slam.
29:07There's a scissors.
29:12Jerry Lynn trying to wear down
29:14Justin Credible.
29:20Referee John Finnegan
29:22makes Jerry Lynn break the hold.
29:24He does.
29:24Forearm to the side of the head.
29:30Looks like Justin Credible
29:32is going for the ride.
29:33Once again,
29:33out of the corner,
29:34hits hard.
29:35Jerry Lynn misses the elbow.
29:37Jerry Lynn misses the elbow
29:39and crashes ribs first
29:40into the turnbuckle.
29:42Nicole Bass again,
29:44ever so delicately,
29:45putting the bat mouth
29:46on Jerry Lynn
29:47as only that little lady cat.
29:51The only woman I know
29:52who has ever been
29:53Howard Stern blush.
29:55The limp.
29:56Bulldog from the top turnbuckle.
30:00Just incredible driven,
30:01face first,
30:02into the canvas.
30:06Jerry Lynn for the moment
30:07in complete control
30:08of this I quit matchup.
30:12Back drop.
30:13Jerry Lynn lands on his feet.
30:15Connected with a shoulder block.
30:16was tripped up
30:19and that
30:19that she-mail
30:21lands a clothesline.
30:25Chastity ran interference
30:27with referee John Finnegan.
30:29The entire entourage,
30:32instrumental,
30:33in swinging the pendulum
30:35of momentum
30:35towards the corner
30:37of Justin Credible.
30:39back on the attack.
30:42Launch four-on-one here
30:43in this I quit match.
30:48Nevertheless,
30:50Jerry Lynn keeps fighting.
30:58Jerry Lynn thrown in.
31:05Justin Credible
31:06back on the attack.
31:07This is between the eyes.
31:11Nothing fancy about that.
31:16Jerry Lynn now being choked
31:17on that second rope.
31:23And again,
31:24there you see
31:24Jason Chastity
31:25and Nicole Bass
31:26getting involved.
31:28Adding more insult
31:29to injury that time.
31:32Scooping a slam.
31:33Just incredible got caught.
31:42Jerry Lynn going up top.
31:44Gets his eyes raked.
31:46Sunset flip
31:47of the turnbuckles.
31:49Pinfalls do not count.
31:55Here's a variation
31:56of the Boston Crab.
31:57This may be all
32:02for Jerry Lynn.
32:04Justin Credible
32:05really cinching back.
32:09Jerry Lynn trying
32:10to stay ahead
32:10of Justin Credible
32:11so his neck
32:12is not crimped
32:13down there.
32:14Jerry Lynn able
32:15to make it
32:15to the bottom rope.
32:16One, two, three, four,
32:18three, four,
32:19three, four,
32:20three, four,
32:22three, four,
32:23three, four,
32:25three, four,
32:26one, two, three, four,
32:28three, four,
32:29just incredible
32:30softening up Jerry Lynn.
32:36Powerball.
32:41There's the Outsider's Edge.
32:45No doubt a gift
32:46from Justin's friend
32:49Scott Hall.
32:51I think he didn't have
32:51enough heat.
32:52Single-legged
32:53Boston Crab this time.
32:54Jason screaming
33:00to Jerry Lynn
33:01to give it up.
33:02Referee John
33:03Vinican is right there.
33:06The pressure
33:07on the lower back
33:08from that Outsider's Edge
33:10would be unbearable.
33:13Jerry Lynn
33:14still fights
33:15through the pain,
33:15makes it to the bottom rope.
33:17Both of these athletes'
33:19insatiable quest
33:20to defeat the other
33:21shows that each
33:22can't every move
33:23at home.
33:29Jerry Lynn now
33:30being set up
33:30on the top turnbuckle.
33:33There's an uppercut.
33:35Ed Butt making two.
33:40Now Jerry Lynn
33:41goes for the sunset flip.
33:43Justin Crabble holds on,
33:46but so does Jerry Lynn.
33:48Tiger bomb
33:49out of the court.
33:50Justin clutching
33:55the back of his skull,
33:57which was driven
33:57into the mat.
34:06There's a modified
34:08camel clutch.
34:10Crossface, actually.
34:13That forearm,
34:14forearm again,
34:16just mostly bone
34:17across the cheekbone
34:20of Justin Crabble.
34:23Jerry Lynn also
34:24clasping those fingers,
34:25wrenching back.
34:27Justin Crabble,
34:28to his credit,
34:29did not give it up.
34:34Fast and he,
34:35Nicole Vance,
34:36trip up Jerry Lynn
34:37and drag him outside.
34:39And while Jason this time
34:40runs interference
34:41with referee John Finnegan,
34:42the lady
34:43working over Jerry Lynn
34:47on the outside.
34:52Ace-person
34:53at the timekeeper's table
34:54goes Jerry Lynn.
35:01Lynn dropped
35:03throw first
35:03across the steel guard ramp.
35:05face first
35:19into the steel
35:19this time.
35:26There's a Justin
35:27credible fan.
35:28No doubt a relative.
35:29Justin Crabble now.
35:43Likes to take Jerry Lynn
35:45out of the corner
35:45of the hallway,
35:46but Lynn wraps his legs
35:48around the head
35:48of Justin Crabble.
35:50Tonight's leverage move
35:51put in Conrad
35:52and sends Justin
35:53back outside again.
35:54Justin up and over
36:00the guard rail
36:01into the first row.
36:07Jason back dropped
36:08on Justin Crabble.
36:14Jerry Lynn now
36:15going up top.
36:24Jerry Lynn
36:25with the plancha
36:32all the way
36:32to the floor.
36:34And in case you missed it,
36:35Jason saw Jerry Lynn
36:36coming,
36:37and instead of
36:38absorbing the blow
36:39for his man
36:40Justin Crabble,
36:42sidestepped it,
36:43let his man
36:44get clobbered.
36:46Sub-manager.
36:48What a piece
36:49of sh...
36:50chivalry
36:51was that
36:53on the part
36:53of Jason.
36:54Oh, Justin.
36:59Justin Crabble
37:00is going to look back
37:02on the videotape
37:03of this matchup.
37:04Jason's going to have
37:05some explaining to do,
37:06especially if Justin
37:07gives it up right now.
37:09Single leg crab

37:10by Jerry Lynn.
37:14In comes Jason.
37:16Misses with the chair twice.
37:18Leg sweep
37:19by Jerry Lynn.
37:20Move to the midsection.
37:21Tiger ball
37:26for the so-called
37:27sexiest man on earth.
37:30Nicole Bass,
37:32200 pounds,
37:35stepped in the ring
37:36and asked for it.
37:37Chastening out
37:38by the top turnbuckle,
37:40high crossbody,
37:42she gets caught.
37:44That's incredible.
37:45Justin Crabble
37:50with the low blow.
37:52Chastening just got spiked.
37:55She is down,
37:57obviously in pain.
37:59Unlike Tommy Dreamer,
38:00apparently,
38:01Justin Crabble
38:02does not care
38:03about Chastening
38:04the way Tommy
38:05does for Beulah.
38:06All he wants
38:07is to beat Jerry Lynn.
38:11Jerry Lynn
38:12beats Justin Crabble
38:13to the punch.
38:16Justin Lynn.
38:19Oh my God!
38:23Inverted DDT
38:24through the table
38:25to the concrete.
38:26But again, how many breaths, how many moments did that buy for Justin Credible when Jason
38:44Nicole Bass and Chastity attempted to attack Jerry Lynn?
38:49The medical staff has arrived to attend to Chastity.
38:53I'm not condoning the violence towards Chastity.
38:55Then again, she did attack Jerry Lynn, unlike Eula.
38:59And unlike Tommy Dreamer, Justin Credible does not give a damn about his woman.
39:06He's not even looking at Chastity.
39:07All he wants is to win this matchup.
39:10Justin Credible is the worst of them all.
39:14And here comes that incredible.
39:16No!
39:17Jerry Lynn spins through.
39:20Scoops up Justin Credible.
39:22Tombstone Piledriver.
39:26Jerry Lynn ties up the leg.
39:29Reaches back.
39:30Locks the fingers.
39:31He's bending Justin Credible backwards.
39:34He's contorting Justin Credible's body.
39:37Justin Credible has quit.
39:40Justin Credible just quit.
39:42Jerry Lynn wins this.
39:44I quit, Matt.
39:45Despite the interference from Jason, Nicole Bass, and Chastity, Justin Credible now knows,
40:05as we all do, and Jerry Lynn's first win over the 23-year-old punk was not a fluke,
40:14because Justin Credible just said, I quit.
40:19Jerry Lynn has arrived.
40:27March 1st, the Living Dangerously pay-per-view.
40:34Bam Bam Bigelow puts Taz through the ring en route to a shocking victory over the human
40:41suplex machine in Bigelow's hometown of Asbury Park, New Jersey.
40:46The loss sent Taz on a soul-searching mission as the one-man crime spree actually acknowledged
40:54defeat and shook Bigelow's hand at the ECW Arena.
41:00But when Bigelow lost the World TV title to Rob Van Dam in Buffalo on April 4th, Taz saw
41:07his chance to regain the title from Bam Bam go down the drain.
41:12So when Shane Douglas and the Triple Threat interfered in a match between John Cronus
41:17and Taz's cousin, Chris Chetty, in Fault Lauderdale, Florida, it pushed the native of Red Hook
41:24to the brink.
41:25Taz confronted the Triple Threat and ended up injuring Shane's arm.
41:31The Taz-Bigelow war was on as the Beast from the East went after Shane's attacker.
41:37But Taz continued to dog the heavyweight champion of the world, even proclaiming himself the
41:44uncrowned champion to the point where he actually started to come to the ring with his own title
41:50belt.
41:51Bigelow told Taz that he'd never get to Shane without going through the 6'3", 350-pound former
42:00bounty hunter from Asbury Park.
42:03So Taz changed gears and suckered the Triple Threat into believing he wanted to join their
42:09fold, only to double-cross Shane and once again take him down.
42:16Last week on ECW, Lance Storm couldn't get into the country from Canada, and Shane Douglas,
42:24just days before surgery, stepped up to the plate.
42:27He would team with Chris Candido against Sabu and Rob Van Damme.
42:34Shane was most anxious to test out Van Damme, and when they finally met, it was indeed ECW
42:41history.
42:43But Mr. Monday Night took advantage of the franchise's bad elbow and came down hard on Shane's arm.
42:50Taz, seeing yet another opportunity to get to Shane, attacked, bringing out Bigelow, and
42:56the fight was once again on.
43:00Ladies and gentlemen, on Sunday night, August 2nd, Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow will again collide.
43:07This time for Taz's unrecognized world heavyweight title, the FTW belt.
43:14FTW?
43:15What is wrong with this guy?
43:16It will happen live on pay-per-view, Sunday night, August 2nd, Heat Wave 98.
43:22Now, originally, this event was set to emanate from Indianapolis, Indiana.
43:28Then we found out we had a scheduling conflict with NASCAR's Brickyard 400 as the ultimate
43:34Rebel wrestling promotion.
43:36ECW said, screw it.
43:37We go head-to-head with the multi-billion-dollar WCW.
43:41We go head-to-head with the multi-million-dollar WWF.
43:45Let's take on NASCAR, yeah!
43:47And we found out that we couldn't get any flights in Indianapolis.
43:51Couldn't get any hotel rooms or rental cars.
43:53So, on Sunday night, August 2nd, Taz versus Bam Bam Bigelow for the unrecognized FTW World
44:00Heavyweight title will emanate from Dayton, Ohio.
44:03There's more.
44:05Being that I work for a very level-headed, reasonable, logical, and conservative,
44:15creative, demented genius,
44:19we didn't just move from Indianapolis to a cute little building two hours away in Dayton, Ohio.
44:26On Sunday night, August 2nd, live on pay-per-view,
44:30Heat Wave 98 will come from the biggest and nicest arena we have ever played
44:36in the five-year history of this company.
44:39The Harrah Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
44:42The Harrah Arena that has hosted Nitros and concerts and sporting events
44:49and Extreme Championship Wrestling.
44:54We've got to sell out this building now.
44:56So, once again, we're calling upon you fans who built this company.
45:01We want to see fans from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh,
45:06Florida, Atlanta, Chicago, California.
45:11We've got fans coming in from Japan, Germany, the United Arab Emirates.
45:17We want to see all ECW fans across the country, even Indianapolis,
45:22because there's lots of flights going out of Indianapolis,
45:24and there's plenty of flights going into Dayton, Ohio.
45:28There's plenty of hotel rooms.
45:30There's plenty of rental cars.
45:31The big announcement, in short, Sunday night, August 2nd,
45:37Heat Wave 98 live on pay-per-view from the Harrah Arena in Dayton, Ohio
45:42for the unrecognized World FTW Heavyweight title.
45:48Taz will defend against Bam Bam Bigelow.
