00:00Earlier tonight here at the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,
00:08Sabu participated in a brutal three-way dance involving Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow.
00:16A grueling contest which saw all three men treated for exhaustion in the locker room after the match.
00:24This left Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam all by himself.
00:29To defend the World TV title against Jerry Lynn.
00:34Jerry Lynn took Mr. Monday Night to the extreme.
00:39But it was Rob Van Dam pulling out a miraculous victory.
00:43Successfully defending the ECW World TV title.
00:48Well, well, well.
00:50World TV World Tag Team Champion Rob Van Dam.
00:55The whole effing show.
00:57So, your glory train, unfortunately for you, has derailed and is making an emergency stop in Dudleyville.
01:06Because I, the quintessential stud muffin Joel Mr. Sunday Brunch Gertner,
01:12personally guarantee that you will lose one of your world titles before the end of the ECW Arena event.
01:21And all you people in TV land have to do is tune in next week and watch it happen.
01:27My, what a cliffhanger.
01:28My, what a cliffhanger.
01:29My, what a cliffhanger.
01:30My, what a cliffhanger.
01:31My, what a cliffhanger.
01:32My, what a cliffhanger.
01:33My, what a cliffhanger.
01:34My, what a cliffhanger.
01:35My, what a cliffhanger.
01:36My, what a cliffhanger.
01:37My, what a cliffhanger.
01:38My, what a cliffhanger.
01:39My, what a cliffhanger.
01:40My, what a cliffhanger.
01:41My, what a cliffhanger.
01:42My, what a cliffhanger.
01:43My, what a cliffhanger.
01:44My, what a cliffhanger.
01:45My, what a cliffhanger.
01:46My, what a cliffhanger.
01:47My, what a cliffhanger.
01:48My, what a cliffhanger.
01:49My, what a cliffhanger.
03:50And tonight, I was trying like hell to find a reason to go out back and get that part
04:00of my anatomy hummed one more time.
04:02But, but, the matches have just been too damn hot.
04:09Now he waved 98.
04:16Bam Bam Bigelow, jackass, did not f***ing tap.
04:21Look at his eyes.
04:27Watch his hand.
04:29Look at that f***ing rope.
04:32Bam Bam Bigelow was reaching for the rope task.
04:37Now we just saw Bam Bam Bigelow master Taz for 30 long minutes in this f***ing ring.
04:55We saw him master Shabu in this f***ing ring.
05:06The fact that he is a member of the Triple Threat and master Taz and master Shabu, that proves
05:24my point that I am a greater champion than Rob Van Dam.
05:31Now the way I see it, Van Dam and Shabu have been collecting just a bit too much gold.
05:44And the Triple Threat has got a f***ing problem with that boys.
05:57So it appears as though now, the Triple Threat will begin to once again reassert itself here
06:04and ECW as the dominant force and start to take back what rightfully belongs to us.
06:10All the f***ing gold here.
06:13Champ, I'm sorry to interrupt.
06:33You nobody wants to hear anyway.
06:35Francine.
06:51Earlier tonight Rob Van Dam was out here wrestling Jerry Lynn.
06:59It was a long match.
07:01He took a heck of a beating.
07:03Barely escaped by the skin of his teeth.
07:06Really earned it.
07:07Really bloody busted up.
07:10Terrible.
07:11Sabu, 30 minutes.
07:15Didn't get the win.
07:17He was beaten upon by Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow.
07:22He's in terrible shape too.
07:24I've been listening to you back there since you started this interview.
07:29Let me ask you franchise.
07:32Is it so much that you want the tag team titles in your camp?
07:38Or would you be happy enough and satisfied if the tag team titles were just away from Rob Van Dam and Sabu?
07:48I could give a rat's ass who in ECW has those tag titles as long as it isn't Rob Van Dam and Sabu.
08:01Capiche?
08:03Capiche?
08:04Capiche?
08:05Capiche?
08:06Capiche?
08:07Capiche?
08:08Capiche?
08:10Capiche?
08:11Well...
08:12Here's a little-known fact.
08:13Some information that you people don't know and I don't expect you to.
08:17before the Dudleys went about finishing other unsettled business and most
08:24lesser teams wouldn't do this they take it easy after a pay-per-view but the
08:29Dudleys always strive for the top the Dudleys have up their sleeve under their
08:40hat and tucked away in our special hiding place a shot at the ECW world tag team
08:53titles and if I may be so bold on behalf of the Dudley boys we'd like to exercise
09:02that option at a tag title shot right here tonight
09:32you know I just battled Jerry Lynn all over the arena until I'm spitting blood out of my nose
10:01Zabu after fighting two guys for three hours just got carried out of here but
10:10that's okay he's used to me carrying them anyway but I'm not sure if you're aware
10:16of this or not but I'm not just the television champion
10:24I'm not just the world tag team champion
10:31I'm Rob Van Dam the whole show
10:39we don't need any trouble
10:55now wait a minute
11:02come on
11:04come on
11:06come on
11:10come on
11:16come on
11:18come on
11:20come on
11:33just so you're not left in the dark my name is Bubba Ray Dudley
11:43and I don't care who you wrestle tonight we gonna get a title shot
11:56Ralph Van Dam you think you're so tough
12:00excuse me and so cool what makes you shut your stinking mouth
12:13what makes you think
12:21that you can beat up two Guttler boys
12:38hell by the looks of you I don't even think you can take sign guy get him buddy
12:53yes
13:00yeah
13:03yes
13:08yes
13:12yes
13:13yes
13:17I swear to God, we're going to get you in the ring later, and we're going to take you
13:45to run for the hours, I swear to you.
13:48That piece of Eurograss chasing and chastity along with Nicole Bass.
13:59Whoa, pull back, pull back, you.
14:02The entourage for the 24-year-old punk, just incredible.
14:07My God, and she got a face suited for the Howard Stern radio show.
14:21Certainly an eclectic entourage, and very effective as well.
14:34Just Incredible coming off a victory against Jerry Lynn, a stolen victory, I might add,
14:51at Heat Wave 98.
14:53Stolen or earned, look at the people here in the ECW arena.
14:56They don't have to like Just Incredible, but they certainly do respect him.
15:01Well, I've got a feeling tonight Just Incredible is going to learn some respect.
15:08Or maybe teach some.
15:13Or maybe teach some.
15:30Just Incredible already in the ring with his entourage.
15:33The sexiest ma- Euro trash, Jason Chastity, Chastity, and Nicole Bass.
15:42Set to take on the extreme icon, three-time former ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
15:49about to make his way to the ring, the one and only Sandman.
15:56The extreme icon, three-time former ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the Sandman.
16:09I'm so excited for this match tonight.
16:11It's part of ECW's old vanguard, the Sandman, against part of its new wave talent.
16:16Just Incredible. This is going to be one hell of a matchup.
16:20Certainly a clash of styles.
16:25I mean, you take the entourage out of the equation.
16:30And Just Incredible is a great wrestler.
16:35And firstly, the Sandman just wants to get loaded and Kane, your brain's in.
16:52Hey, you can say what you want about him, and I can say what I want.
16:55But I'll say this for Sandman, he has been extremely, no pun intended, successful here in ECW.
17:01Just Incredible has a huge test in front of him tonight.
17:06I think the youngster may be out-manned.
17:09Or out-sticked.
17:11The Sandman.
17:12Where is he in today?
17:13And when the blinder victimable and waiting for us.
17:44The franchise is somebody who has wrestled the Sandman for the World Heavyweight title.
17:51How do you prepare for a competitor who obviously doesn't even care about his own well-being?
17:56He beats himself senseless with beer cans before the matchup even begins.
18:01It's damn near impossible.
18:02You don't know what frame of mind Sandman's going to be when he comes to the ring.
18:06He might be drunk.
18:07He might be very drunk.
18:08He might be so drunk he doesn't even know he's in the ECW arena.
18:12See?
18:12But what you've got to do is make sure that you are on your game plan because Sandman is a very capable star here in ECW.
18:20He's proven it.
18:22The Sandman has been ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
18:27A record tie three times.
18:29And all three of those world title victories have happened right here at the ECW arena.
18:39And while this building may be, as you say, the house the franchise built, it is also the address of the Sandman.
18:48He lives here.
18:49Okay, okay, so it's his house.
18:52But you, like everybody else in this company, seem to forget, I'm just the poor soul that built this place.
18:57Just Incredible is doing exactly what a young franchise would have done at that stage of my career.
19:23He's going to use, as you say, the guy who lives in this house, ECW arena, as a stepping stone to bigger things.
19:31Namely the ECW World Heavyweight title.
19:33And if, if he can defeat the Sandman here in this building tonight, he will have sent a very clear message to me that he wants a shot at my goal.
19:44The biggest if in the career of Just Incredible, if he can beat the Sandman in the ECW arena, I mean, that's almost a near impossible undertaking for Just Incredible.
19:57I mean, Jason in this corner, Chastity in this corner, Nicole Bass in this corner, the Sandman has no conscience.
20:08He'll can all three of them unconscious to get to Just Incredible.
20:13That's the point.
20:14He has to divert his attention to people like big Nicole Bass, Chastity, Jason.
20:18And if he does that, if he makes that mistake, Just Incredible will achieve his goal tonight.
20:30Just Incredible refusing to get to the ring until the Sandman gives up the Singapore King.
20:36What a smart move.
20:37By doing that, he takes away 50% of the Sandman's offense.
20:41I hate to say it, but I agree with Just Incredible.
20:45I wouldn't get in that ring with him swinging a cane.
20:52Even if he were sober.
21:04To Just Incredible's credit, without the Singapore King, Just Incredible
21:09does not look intimidated by the Sandman.
21:17Straight left hands.
21:25Just Incredible hung out to dry.
21:28The Sandman climbing all the way up top.
21:32Deontine leg drop.
21:33That didn't work out the way she had planned.
21:44And just as I suspected, the entourage is getting a look at Justin.
21:49Capitalizing off of it.
21:51What a dropkick right to the face of the Sandman.
21:55And man, as he dazed, look at his eyes.
21:58Just Incredible now on the offensive.
22:02Shows great power.
22:03Trying to scoop up the Sandman for the Tombstone Pile Driver.
22:06The Sandman wisely hangs on the ropes.
22:11Boy, that would have been all she wrote.
22:13This one would have been over early.
22:15Sandman took the clothesline.
22:17But not the sidekick.
22:18That connected.
22:20Lateral press.
22:21Hooking the leg to it.
22:22No.
22:22Two count only.
22:23Two count only.
22:23Two count only.
22:23Two count only.
22:25Two count only.
22:25Two count only.
22:27Two count only.
22:27Two count only.
22:28Two count only.
22:28Two count only.
22:29Two count only.
22:29Two count only.
22:30Just Incredible looking very confident at this juncture of the matchup.
22:34Floors the Sandman with a nice right hand.
22:37Justin has got to keep the heat on right now.
22:40He cannot allow the Sandman to get an opening here in this match.
22:44If he does, he'll very well lose this.
22:46Keep in mind, that is, after all, the Sandman.
22:51Just Incredible just keeps on hammering away.
22:57The Sandman down and just incredible up.
22:58Just keeps on hammering away.
22:59Just keeps on hammering away.
23:00Just keeps on hammering away.
23:02Just keep on hammering away.
23:03The fans now getting on the case of Justin Incredible.
23:06But to his credit, Justin keeps his focus.
23:11Just keeps nailing the Sandman.
23:14Boy, is he trying to make a huge statement here tonight.
23:18The Sandman down and Justin Incredible up.
23:21This is history.
23:22Not for long.
23:28Some great left hands being thrown by the Sandman.
23:32Scooping a slap.
23:35The Sandman going off top again.
23:39Drops the leg.
23:43Cover hook of the leg.
23:44This should be all to it.
23:46No.
23:46Chastity just sprayed referee Billy Saints right in the eye with,
23:50I think it was Hairspray.
23:52The Sandman had the match up.
23:54What?
23:58Nicole Bass.
23:59The Sandman has Nicole Bass.
24:00He's gonna pause right, roundhouse, right to the jaw.
24:06And just as I said earlier,
24:08Justin Incredible's entourage is a big factor here.
24:11And now Justin Incredible wants to know where the referee is.
24:16He can't see.
24:17He needs to turn around, capitalize once more on Sandman.
24:23Forget about everything else going on.
24:26Justin Crabble again going for,
24:28that's incredible, the tombstone.
24:32Jason missed with the cane.
24:34Side Russian leg sweep.
24:36Sandman's got the cane.
24:37Justin ducked the cane.
24:39Justin ducked the cane.
24:41He's got the Sandman up.
24:42That's incredible.
24:44Cover.
24:45He's got him.
24:47Wow.
24:48He's got him.
24:49Just incredible has shocked the world here at the ECW arena.
25:0024 year old, just incredible has just defeated former three time ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
25:09I'm damned impressed with Justin Credible, man, he's climbing that ladder.
25:20Justin's got the stick.
25:22Justin's got the stick.
25:23He's caning the Sandman.
25:32Oh my God.
25:36Hey Justin, you just beat me in my home court.
25:43Maybe I did lose a little bit of my intensity after coming off that big high from Heat Wave 98 beat the Dudleys.
25:50Tommy Dreamer, anytime you need me I'm there.
25:53Justin, you just lit a fire under my ass.
25:56Your only problem is now, you got to put it out.
26:01The Sandman accepts defeat gracefully.
26:03Oh, he may accept it, Joey.
26:05That doesn't mean he's not f***ing.
26:07He wants another shot at Justin Credible.
26:09What a great matchup that would be for our return to the ECW arena in Philadelphia on Saturday night, August 29th.
26:17Standing by in his locker room now is Justin Credible, along with Jason.
26:21Thrash.
26:22Chastity.
26:23Slut.
26:24And his bodyguard, Nicole Bass.
26:26She's a man.
26:29People are unbelievable.
26:34You can start taping now.
26:38Let me ask you a question.
26:39Does it bother you that the Sandman, born and raised in Philadelphia, got beat by a punk kid from New York?
26:52Does that bother you?
26:53Does that bother you?
26:56Does it bother you that Justin Credible beat the Sandman without help from anybody?
27:05Does that bother you?
27:07Does it bother you, Sandman?
27:09That I beat you with a half an inch of your life and left you laying in a pool of your own blood?
27:17Does that bother you?
27:19I know that bothers you, Sandman.
27:23So I'm going to step up the ante.
27:26I'm going to challenge you, Sandman.
27:29To a Singapore King match.
27:33Not in my hometown of New York.
27:35No, no, no.
27:37I want you in Philadelphia.
27:39At the ECW Arena, Sandman.
27:42I challenge you.
27:45I want to see how extreme you can really be.
27:50When we return to this ECW Arena on Saturday night, August 29th, it will be Justin Credible versus the Sandman in a Singapore canning matchup.
28:02The loser will get whacked with the cane ten times.
28:05But let's focus on our main event tonight.
28:07Rob Van Damme, old by his lonesome, defending the world tag team title belts against the Dudley Boys.
28:13What an ambitious undertaking by Van Damme, the only active, recognized singles champion we have right now in ECW.
28:21What the hell does that make me then here, Styles?
28:23You're injured.
28:24So I'll get in the ring tonight and prove otherwise.
28:26How's that?
28:26That would be foolish.
28:27I mean, you can't...
28:28So now I'm a fool.
28:30No, I didn't mean that you were a fool.
28:31I just mean you can't wrestle until...
28:32Blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda.
28:33Well, you're sitting up here rambling on now, Styles.
28:35I've had enough of this conspiracy.
28:37I want it to end.
28:38Hold this, you jackass.
28:40I've sat here and I've listened to Taz for how long now?
28:43Would this fake bill come out here?
28:44I'm the real world's heavyweight champion, brother.
28:47You're a moron, and you're not a world champion.
28:49And now you're telling me that Rob Van Damme, because I'm on the shelf, is the standard bearer, the champion here in ECW.
28:56What a crock of s***.
28:58I've had just enough of this now.
29:00Remember the last time we had these three morons in the ring together?
29:03All those legitimate and illegitimate champions, except the one champion who means anything.
29:09Shane Douglas, the franchise, the world's heavyweight champion, the only guy who means anything here.
29:14I've had it with this conspiracy.
29:16I've had it.
29:17I've had it.
29:19I've had it, Styles.
29:20Calm down.
29:22Now, you're a damn troublemaker.
29:24Look what you started.
29:25I didn't mean to set him off.
29:26I was just making a point.
29:29We're going to take a break, and when we come back, it's going to be Rob Van Damme,
29:32the world television champion, the world television champion, and one half of the world tag team champions,
29:38defending the belts by himself against the Dudley boys.
29:41I'm sorry.
29:44Rob Van Damme, bring your ass out here and bring those tag team belts to their rightful owners.
29:53I can't believe this matchup is actually taking place.
29:59Joel Gertner had a contract from God knows Quain, giving the Dudley boys a world tag team title shot.
30:06Who knows if that contract was written when Taboo and Van Damme had the belt to begin with.
30:11He's up to exercise the contract tonight.
30:14Taboo went to a 30-minute walk with Bam Bam, Bigelow, and Taz.
30:18He was basically dropped in a beat down and carried to the locker room while Van Damme successfully defended the world television title against Jerry Lynn.
30:27Camden got his nose broken, and it looks like Van Damme's going to have to defend the world tag team title belt by himself.
30:35I'm going on the record right now, Styles is saying.
30:46In this particular match, contrary to how I've been as a color commentator here in the past,
30:51I am not going to be impartial on this particular match.
30:55I want Van Damme to get its ass kicked by the Dudleys.
30:59Not so much because I'm for the Dudleys, but hey, just like Bill Clinton should have learned himself.
31:04If you, in the beginning, tell the truth, put your cards on the table, you save yourself a whole lot of grief.
31:10It's no secret.
31:11I hate Rob Van Damme and Sabu for the fact that they hold so much gold.
31:15I hope that problem gets solved here tonight by the Dudleys.
31:19Haven't you been dying to criticize the president on national television?
31:24Hey, I think he's doing a good job.
31:26Bob Ortiz?
31:28Must be talking about Bob Ortiz.
31:30Introducing the challengers.
31:32From Dudleys.
31:33From Dudleys.
31:35Devon Dudley and his brother.
31:41Why did Bubba stop?
31:45Big deal.
31:48Joel's got introduced to Dudleys.
31:50Gartner's got introduced to Dudleys.
31:52It's Bob Ortiz's job.
31:54From Dudleys.
31:55Where's he going?
31:55He's chasing Bob Ortiz.
32:00Oh, come on.
32:06You leave him alone, you big bull.
32:08What an ass.
32:12Hey, hey, hey.
32:13What about impartiality here, Styles?
32:15You're killing your own credibility.
32:17I'm sorry, but...
32:18What's your apology accepted?
32:20No, I mean, I'm sorry, but...
32:21Apology accepted.
32:23He should be bullying a ring announcer.
32:26Tonight's partial remarks from a non-wrestler, ladies and gentlemen.
32:30I can't wait for you to get back in the ring.
32:33Hey, thanks.
32:33You can't win.
32:35And their opponent, from Battle Creek, Michigan, at 2.42, the ECW...
32:44One half of the ECW Tag Team Championship, and the ECW TV Champion, Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Damme.
33:01I think Alfonso better stick to managing.
33:06Hey, Van Damme always says he's the whole effing show.
33:09Well, tonight, I'll say he's an effing fool for going against these two by himself.
33:14Of course, his tag team partner, the most suicidal, homicidal, genocidal athlete in all of professional sports.
33:21Sabu went to a 30-minute time limit draw earlier against Taz and Bam Bam Bigelow.
33:28It's about, I don't know, 120 degrees in this building, 150 in the ring under the lights.
33:33Sabu right now in the back being treated for exhaustion.
33:37Van Damme never consulted Sabu before accepting the challenge of the Dudleys,
33:41before agreeing to put the World Tag Team title belt on the line.
33:44I don't know if Sabu even knows this matchup is going on.
33:46He can wake up tomorrow morning and find out that he's no longer a World Tag Team Champion.
33:53Well put, and I tell you, I've got to say it again.
33:56Van Damme is hanging himself out to dry here tonight.
34:04Then again, if Van Damme should somehow miraculously retain the World Tag Team title belt by himself,
34:11you think he's impossible to deal with now?
34:13Forget about it.
34:14Yeah, yeah, right.
34:16And you're better at this job without a color commentator, right?
34:22Looking forward to finding out again, Tim.
34:28Break Joey's chops tonight here in Philadelphia.
34:31Rob Van Damme and Devon Dunley collar and elbow tie-up.
34:35Waistlocked by Van Damme.
34:36Standing switch by Devon Dunley.
34:37Nice takedown by Van Damme.
34:40Dropped to hold into a front chancery.
34:42Hammerlocked by Devon Dunley.
34:43Rob Van Damme goes for the ropes.
34:45They're back up.
34:45Van Damme!
34:49Van Damme looks amazingly fresh after that long bout against Jerry Lynn here earlier tonight.
34:55Remember, in that match, he broke his nose.
34:59It's got to be hard for Van Damme to breathe.
35:00Single leg takedown.
35:02Lateral press looks to leg.
35:03Van Damme's so fluid.
35:07Back to a front chancery.
35:09Boy, and Devon's doing the right thing, keeping his leg hooked.
35:15There's an elbow.
35:18Forearms and fists being exchanged.
35:21Van Damme does not want to get into a fist fight with Devon Dunley.
35:24He'll knock your block off.
35:26Van Damme rolls through.
35:27Slingshot, high cross body.
35:34Side headlock by Van Damme.
35:37Van Damme lands on his feet, counters the suplex.
35:39Houdan Khan, Rana, nicely done.
35:42Lateral press to it.
35:45Barbara Ray Dudley puts a stop to that.
35:47Van Damme wisely trying to end this match quickly if he can.
35:50Trying and doing are two different things.
35:54Look at big, fresh Bubba Ray Dudley pounds away at the facial features of Ron Van Damme.
36:00Boy, he's in trouble.
36:03You fans at home will have never attended an ECW event live.
36:07You really can't comprehend how big Bubba Ray Dudley is until you get up in his mean, nasty face.
36:14He's a monster.
36:15Van Damme lands on his feet.
36:17Tucks the clothes lock.
36:18Back the other way.
36:19Launches both feet into the chest of the Dudleys.
36:24But big Bubba Ray is up quickly and clotheslines Van Damme out of his boot.
36:28And look at Van Damme's face.
36:30That broken nose has again begun to bleed.
36:34Rob Van Damme has incensed 350 plus pound Bubba Ray Dudley.
36:40When earlier tonight he hit the Van Daminator on Big Dick Dudley.
36:45Big Dick took a chair right in the eye.
36:47Had to be rushed to the hospital and now it's two on one against Rob Van Damme.
36:52It would have been three on one because we know Big Dick always interferes.
36:58Look at Bubba Ray go after that blood like a shark in water.
37:03He just head-butted Van Damme in the nose and he's going right through that broken nose.
37:08Intelligent by Big Bubba Ray.
37:10That was a little low.
37:13Big Bubba Ray Dudley landed a fist to the nether region.
37:18The native of Battle Creek, Michigan.
37:21My God!
37:22Van Damme up in the lights!
37:27Bubba Ray is now slowing down.
37:30Now beginning to pick apart one half of the world tag team champions.
37:34And if this continues, he'll be a former tag team champion for sure.
37:39Bubba Ray Dudley muscling Rob Van Damme around right now.
37:44Van Damme wrestling with that broken nose and getting booked.
37:47No!
37:47Van Damme firing back!
37:50Bubba Ray Dudley absorbing those shots!
37:52But how much can any one-man absorb?
37:54Forearms to the face!
37:56Kicks as well!
37:58Russell on the Irish whip!
38:01Down goes Van Damme!
38:02The Dudleys are following the tradition set by other great brother tag teams like the Andersons, the Briscos, the Funks.
38:12They're controlling the pace of the matchup.
38:15They're controlling the ring.
38:16And they're about to be in control of the ECW World Tag Team titles.
38:22Van Damme doing anything he can to free himself from the Dudley corner.
38:30Van Damme set the line.
38:31No reversal!
38:34Van Damme ducks the clothesline.
38:37Side kick off the second turnbuckle.
38:40That found the mark.
38:41Spinning heel kick misses.
38:45Sidewalk slam!
38:47You mentioned it earlier about how hard it is in this building.
38:50Remember how long Van Damme wrestled earlier tonight against Jerry Lynn.
38:54Not only is the physical factor coming into play, but now the heat and fatigue is going to be a huge factor against Van Damme.
39:01Van Damme has got no one to tag out to.
39:04Look how limp his body is.
39:08That says it all.
39:09There's a tag into Devon Dudley.
39:12Van Damme looking glassy-eyed, looked at his corner and smiled as if he was going to see Sabu there.
39:20And look at that, Van Damme took a flying elbow, a back elbow right to the eye.
39:25Two, and his eye exploded.
39:28Notice how the Dudleys have picked out his facial features.
39:31The broken nose is the factor here against Van Damme, and the Dudleys just keep pounding and pounding away at it.
39:38Blood flowing from the eye of Rob Van Damme.
39:40Nice elbow by Devon.
39:43This should be all covered.
39:44No.
39:47Rob Van Damme now with blood spewing from right underneath his eyebrow.
39:53Fatigue is a factor here against Van Damme.
39:56The nose is broken.
39:57That makes it more difficult to breathe here in this stifling heat.
40:01The eye is now busted open.
40:03It's only a matter of moments before that eye has swelled shut like something out of a bad Rocky movie.
40:08And the funniest part, the most hilarious part to me sitting here, is that Sabu is in the back being treated for fatigue and doesn't probably even know he's about to become a former tag team champion.
40:25Rob Van Damme, not looking good at all, continues to fight to his credit.
40:29But it is only a matter of time before the Dudley boys beat him into the canvas and cover his broken feet and battered body for the one, two, three.
40:45Bubba Splash.
40:47Notice how the Dudleys keep tagging in and out, keeping the member in the ring fresh at all times.
40:53This is great tag team strategy by the Dudley boys.
40:56Looks like a National Geographic special.
41:03Hyena is just tearing at the flesh of an animal.
41:08I didn't mean that to be funny.
41:09I'm glad you enjoyed it.
41:10That was sick.
41:15I think it's time to finish him off, Bubba.
41:17Take some of that gold away.
41:22Van Damme is in a world of hurt and it's only going to get worse.
41:25His body looks limp in the corner.
41:29Spin kick out of nowhere, almost decapitates Bubba Ray Dudley.
41:33Van Damme with a high cross, Barney hooks the leg.
41:36Devon makes the save.
41:39Boy, did he snap that leg around and neutralize Bubba Ray for just a second.
41:44But Devon's in there, right on top again.
41:48Van Damme set for the right.
41:53A pair of shoulder blocks.
42:00That'll stretch your groin.
42:06The Dudleys went for a pair of headbutts.
42:08Van Damme got the knees up.
42:10Two.
42:11No.
42:12Devon kicks out.
42:13Van Damme is so out of it, he didn't even notice how close Devon was to the ropes.
42:17We've seen Van Damme earlier tonight pull Jerry Lynn away from those ropes, showing he doesn't even know where he is.
42:25Headbutt right to the nose.
42:30We've got a slugfest.
42:32Bubba Ray just slapping the taste out of Van Damme's mouth.
42:41Proversal.
42:43Talk about a spinning heel kick.
42:46That club Bubba right in the face.
42:48The big man is down.
42:50This may be all.
42:51Man, did you see how Van Damme arched his hip in that attempt to pin Big Bubba Ray?
42:56He meant his .243 seemed more like .283.
43:03That's it.
43:04That's it.
43:05The end of Van Damme and Sabu.
43:06That's it.
43:07They've got no clans.
43:08Hey, hey, what the hell?
43:11The franchise has scored down in the broadcast position just like he did at Heatwave 98.
43:17Sabu is in the ring with a chair.
43:19He's hammering the Dudley boys.
43:21The franchise ran out of here like his seat was on fire.
43:25DDT on Bubba Ray Dudley.
43:28There's one for Devon.
43:30Alfonso slides a table into the ring.
43:34Sabu, who is being treated for exhaustion, has come to the rescue of his tag team partner,
43:41Rob Van Damme.
43:43Devon Dudley laid out on the table.
43:47Bubba Ray Dudley as well.
43:49You can hear Gertner screaming like a little girl.
43:56Sabu up top.
43:59And drives the Dudley through the table.
44:03It's Bigelow.
44:04Bear Bear Bigelow is in the ring.
44:06And there's Candido.
44:09Bear Bear Bigelow and Kristen and the franchise.
44:13Shane Douglas is at ringside.
44:15The triple threat now getting involved in this matchup as well.
44:23Candido and Douglas just hoisted another table into the ring.
44:28And this does not bode well for Sabu.
44:39Bigelow laying Sabu on their cable.
44:43Van Damme being laid out by the franchise.
44:48It's Chris Candido going all the way up top.
44:51He's going to drive the chips with the cable.
44:53It's Kaz.
44:54It's Kaz.
44:55It's Kaz.
44:56The odds are now even as Kaz is in the ring.
45:04The franchise wants no part of them.
45:07Bubba Ray Dudley goes down.
45:13Bigelow goes down.
45:15Kaz all over Bigelow.
45:16And now hammering Devon Dudley.
45:20All turned in.
45:21Sabu and...
45:22And Taz have cleared the ring.
45:32Once again, we have Taz face-to-face with Sabu and Van Damme.
45:37These three find themselves on the same side of a fight.
45:41As unbelievable as it may seem.
45:44Taz, Rob Van Damme and Sabu.
45:48Well, I don't think they meant to, but...
45:51Without knowing it, we're working together to fight off the Dudleys and the Triple Threat.
45:56And again, we see Alfonso keeping Rob Van Damme and Sabu and Van Damme, keeping them from attacking Taz.
46:04The fans are chanting new Triple Threat.
46:26The fans would love to see it.
46:49The fans would love to see it.
46:49Will Taz align himself with Alfonso's tandem of Rob Van Damme and Sabu?
47:09This may be the biggest decision in Taz's career.
47:15S
47:37The
