00:01Hello everyone and welcome to ECW.
00:05I'm Joey Styles along with the heavyweight champion of the world, the franchise Shane Douglas,
00:09and the head cheerleader Francine.
00:11We are here at the Madhouse of Xtreme in Queens, New York City.
00:30We are here at the Madhouse of Xtreme in Queens.
01:52It's nice, darling, but I think everybody came here tonight to see my ass.
01:56Now, speaking of asses, hey, Lance Starr, why don't you get yours out here so I can slap
02:14you across the face?
02:16You're going to slap me in the face?
02:46You're telling me that you're going to slap me in the face?
02:54Well, let me tell you something, Candido.
02:56When we're together as a tag team, I was definitely the better half of that team.
03:03But now that you two are together, the only better half of this team, Tammy, is you from
03:16here on down.
03:17Hey, Lance, I don't care if you like it.
03:35I don't care if the WWE likes it, but I am here in ECW to stay whether you like it or not.
03:43And honey, I plan on running your ass back to Canada where you belong.
03:50I don't care if you like it or not.
03:51I don't care if you like it.
03:51You're going to be at home, you're going to be at home.
03:52I don't care if you like it or not.
03:53I don't care if you like it or not.
03:54OK.
05:55Making his Extreme Championship Wrestling debut, this is Big Sally Graziano.
06:04This young man must weigh nearly 600 pounds.
06:08Without a doubt, the largest person ever to compete here in ECW.
06:13Look at the size of this guy.
06:22He's mammoth.
06:23I don't know if Spike Dudley can overcome these odds.
06:29Well, let's see.
06:30He's beaten wrestlers 100 pounds larger than he is.
06:33He's beaten wrestlers 200 pounds larger than he is.
06:37But can Spike Dudley overcome a 400-pound advantage by Big Sally Graziano?
06:45It's a huge test.
06:46I started watching wrestling some 15 years ago, and all I heard from color commentators week after week on television is that a good big man will always beat a good small man.
07:04And if that old adage is indeed true as it was in the 80s, Spike Dudley is about to get squashed in Queens, New York City.
07:14Well, all those color commentators' philosophies are about to be tested here tonight.
07:20Well, all those color commentators' philosophies are about to be tested here tonight.
07:20Well, all those color commentators are about to be tested here tonight.
07:50Take a look at the size differential.
07:55Big Sally may just eat Spike.
07:58Burp up those glasses.
08:00Then get dizzy and fall down.
08:03Think about it.
08:09LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD!
08:20LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD! LSD
08:50And his opponent, weighing in at 153 pounds, from Dudley Nell, Spike Dudley!
09:10I can't believe the difference in size between these two.
09:14It is absolutely amazing.
09:16I don't believe it! Just like that!
09:36Look, it's over!
09:41It's over!
09:46How long was that?
09:53So short I couldn't even count.
09:57We better queue up a commercial!
09:59But-
10:16The made man Tracy Smothers, who thinks SpaghettiOs is a home-cooked Italian meal, will represent the full-blooded Italians and provide the opposition for the former three-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the Sandman!
10:43Hey, I don't knock his winning ways here in ECW, but while the Sandman is smoking cigarettes, I'm doing cardio!
10:51While the Sandman is shooting pole, I'm lifting weights!
10:54While the Sandman is sucking down beers, Francine is sucking-
10:57Okay now, wait a minute!
10:59I'm going!
11:05I'm getting old!
11:05Last week on ECW, Justin Credible pulled the upset victory of his career pinning the Sandman
11:25and then painting him senseless.
13:05We've got to take a break.
13:26When we come back, it's Tracy Smothers vs. the one and only Sandman.
13:33And the fans here in Queens, New York City, rallying behind the Sandman.
13:39A nice arm brag by the Maidman, Tracy Smothers.
13:43So oftentimes, people overlook the FBI as being something less than what they really are.
13:49Tommy Rich is a former world champion.
13:52Tracy Smothers, if you don't judge the book by his cover, is a great, great wrestler.
13:57The Sandman had better keep his eye on Little Guido and the Big Don, Tommy Rich.
14:10Notice how Smothers keeps his sternum always towards his opponent.
14:19A great wrestling tactic.
14:22The Sandman just charges Smothers.
14:24Smothers unloads but misses.
14:28Fireman's carry takedown.
14:31Smothers is putting on a clinic.
14:33And the Big Don and Little Guido interfered one too many times.
14:41But that gave Smothers the opening he was looking for.
14:47That's the FBI MO.
14:52Sandman's set for the ride.
14:54Ducks the clothesline.
14:57Nails Guido.
14:59The Big Don goes down as well.
15:02Smothers to the outside.
15:06Baseball slide on the Big Don.
15:08And there's one for Smothers.
15:12When is the referee going to interject himself here?
15:14These guys have a right to be at ringside.
15:17He better start worrying about Smothers.
15:19Little Guido now hammering the Sandman.
15:22Smothers just closed line to Big Don.
15:25He takes an elbow in the nose.
15:27I'm just daring a referee here in ECW to establish some order.
15:33And the Sandman on the offensive once again.
15:36And Smothers thrown back in by the extreme icon.
15:40And there again is a fist right between the eyes.
15:42The favoritism these referees show towards people like Sandman, Dreamer, Taz is sickening.
15:52Sandman sitting up.
15:53Smothers drops him across the top rope.
15:56Smothers hung out to dry.
16:01Slingshot, Somersault, guillotine leg drop.
16:04And look at Sandman.
16:06It's taking a toll on him as well.
16:10Well, that or the case of the half he had before he came out here.
16:13To go either way.
16:18Sandman setting up Smothers.
16:22What in the hell?
16:26Frankensander.
16:26That may be all.
16:30Cover.
16:31The Big Don distracted referee, John Finnegan.
16:34Guido drops the elbow for the save.
16:37Sandman instigated all this and got exactly what he deserved.
16:43Cover by Smothers.
16:45Two and a half.
16:46The forearms are blocked by the Sandman.
16:55Belly to back suplex.
16:59That was some great count of wrestling by the Sandman.
17:03Hooks the leg.
17:04To it.
17:04No.
17:05Smothers kicks out.
17:06To his credit, Smothers is resilient.
17:08Tracy's body is so long that they're trying to pin him.
17:11You've really got to curl him up if you hook that leg.
17:17Again, the Big Don had the referee distracted.
17:19Guido interferes.
17:21But Smothers still can't put the Sandman away.
17:24The FBI doing everything in their power to finish the Sandman.
17:30Tracy missed this.
17:31Tracy missed the sidekick.
17:34Swag to the head.
17:35And a dropkick.
17:36Two and no.
17:37This time Guido distracted referee, John Finnegan.
17:40And it was the Big Don interfering.
17:45It's a three-on-one matchup.
17:49It's a three-on-one matchup because Sandman attacked little Guido and Tommy Rich.
17:55Guido now blankly in the ring.
17:57He missed with the Singaporean.
17:59Kane never made contact with the Sandman.
18:01He gets spiked.
18:02The Big Don misses with the flag.
18:04He gets spiked.
18:08Smothers tries to use the Singaporean.
18:10Kane.
18:12Side Russian leg sweeps.
18:13Singaporean Kane to the throat.
18:16It's over.
18:18Your winner, the Sandman.
18:22The Sandman basically defeated all three full-blooded Italians by himself.
18:28By himself.
18:30Wait, there's Jason.
18:31Jason gets king senseless by the Sandman.
18:43What the hell was Jason?
18:45Well, there's Chastity.
18:49Chastity jumps on the Sandman.
18:52Bad idea.
18:52Well, you got to know where Chastity is and where Jason is.
18:57There's Justin Credible.
18:58He nails the Sandman right in the back of the head with the Kane.
19:06The FBI have the Sandman.
19:08Justin Credible is cating the Sandman to death.
19:22He is trying to end this.
19:23Now, Jason.
19:25Jason trying to talk some sense to Justin Credible.
19:29Justin Credible didn't want to hear any of it.
19:31He wanted to hear none of it.
19:33He wants to finish off the Sandman.
19:34He scoops him up.
19:37That's incredible.
19:38The Corkscrew Tombstone.
19:40And again, Justin Credible is trying to cave the Sandman to death.
19:45He just caved him ten times.
19:47He just caved the Sandman ten times.
19:50And now the FBI trying to save the Sandman's life.
19:57Sandman, the only reason I like to live is so I can kick your ass another day.
20:04This punk has exceeded yet another limit, had crossed another line.
20:1024 years old.
20:12And this guy reminds me of, well, me more and more every time I see him.
20:18Know what that is, champ?
20:20What's that?
20:21That's Justin Credible.
20:23Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is your main event, and it is for the ECW World Tag Team Championship.
20:47The Dudley boys looking for some payback.
20:54Remember, Big Dick Dudley suffered a detached retina as a result of a Van Damminator.
21:00Hey, remember the old Aerosmith song, Chip Away at the Stone.
21:04The Dudleys are going to keep chipping away at the stone.
21:07Remember what they did last week to Rob Van Damme.
21:09If they just keep chipping away at that stone, they'll become, for the fourth time, World Tag Team Champions.
21:20But you cannot underestimate the resilience of Rob Van Damme and his partner Sabu.
21:27Sabu and Rob Van Damme are the ECW World Tag Team Champions.
21:32In addition, Rob Van Damme is the ECW World Television Champion as well.
21:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:40What is he, invincible?
21:42Hey, they're not 10 feet tall.
21:43They're human beings.
21:45He took an ass-kicking last week.
21:47Can he take it again this week?
21:48Sooner or later, it takes its toll on everybody.
21:51I know.
21:52I'm not trying to rally up again.
21:54I'm sorry about last week.
21:56I was just making an observation.
21:58What a glory hound this Rob Van Damme is.
22:17You think?
22:18Yeah, I do think.
22:19Week after week, I sit here as a color commentator, and you all seem to forget that I'm the World Heavyweight Champion, and all I ever hear is Rob Van Damme.
22:28I sit here as a color commentator, and I say things bad and criticize even fellow members of the Triple Threat.
22:35Not that there's much to criticize.
22:37But then I even come out here, and I speak highly of my enemies, even Rob Van Damme and Sabu.
22:42And all I ever hear is Rob Van Damme.
22:45Rob Van Damme this.
22:46Rob Van Damme that.
22:47He's the greatest champion.
22:49I'm on this show.
22:50Quite frankly, I've had it.
22:57And his tag team partner from Battle Creek, Michigan.
23:02He is the current ECW World Television Champion.
23:08He is also one half of the ECW World Tag Team Champions.
23:17He is Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Damme.
23:23I'm on this show.
23:24I'm on this show.
23:25I'm on this show.
23:26Damn.
23:27I'm on this show.
23:28Damn.
23:29Damn.
23:30Damn.
23:31I'm calm.
23:32I'm cool.
23:33I'm collected.
23:34I've got a plan.
23:35Come on.
23:36Come on, fans.
23:37Come on, guys.
23:37Come on.
23:38Come on.
23:45The franchise left the broadcast position.
23:50He and Plansino now headed towards the ring.
23:52Let's go in!
24:11Dudleys, you guys have climbed that ladder,
24:14Miss Fork, too damn fast!
24:16Sabu and Van Dam, you guys have too f*** much gold!
24:28And if we're talking about tough tag teams,
24:30the equation isn't complete until you include
24:33the f*** damn triple threat!
24:42It seems there's a bit of a number that I'm fond of,
24:45and it's this!
24:46And so I say, f*** the tag team match!
24:49I say we make it a f*** damn three-way dance!
25:01Ladies and gentlemen, weighing 241 and one-quarter pounds,
25:06he is the technician of the triple threat!
25:10He is, no given exceeded, Mr. Chris Candido!
25:19The hell's going on?
25:21A slim down 345 and three-quarter pounds!
25:28He is known, New York City, as your Taz Killer!
25:36As the beast from the East,
25:38from Lasberry Park, New Jersey,
25:42and one-quarter pounds!
25:43Ladies and gentlemen,
25:44Mr. Bam Bam Bigelow!
25:55What was scheduled to be a tag team matchup
25:57with the Dudleys challenging Sabu and Rob Van Dam
26:01has now evolved into a three-way dance!
26:06Bigelow and Candido will also be challenging
26:10the World Tag Team title belts!
26:12Douglas is incensed with doing anything he can
26:16to get some gold off of Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam
26:21and Sabu!
26:24The Dudleys have acquiesced!
26:25The champions have acquiesced!
26:34Referee Jim Molino explaining the rules to everybody!
26:41The last team left in the ring
26:45are the ECW World Tag Team Champions!
26:47And here we go!
26:48Sabu and Bubba Ray Dudley to the outside!
26:51Rob Van Dam going at it
26:53with Bam Bam Bigelow,
26:54the man he defeated
26:56for the ECW World Television Championship!
26:59Devon Dudley going at it with Chris Candido!
27:01Sabu hits the steer!
27:08Candido with some nice right hands on Devon Dudley!
27:12But he doesn't want to be in a fist fight with Devon!
27:16Bubba Ray trying to put his fist through the chair!
27:20Knife-head shots!
27:25This three-way dance is ugly to Cole from the onset!
27:29Side headlock now by Devon Dudley!
27:31Drop down by Candido!
27:33Leapfrog!
27:35To leapfrog by Devon Dudley!
27:37Candido up in the lights!
27:39Gets closed by first trouble as well!
27:42Sabu and Van Dam double teaming Bigelow!
27:45Keep in mind in an ECW three-way dance!
27:50Two teams will lose!
27:52Only one team will remain!
27:54And the remaining team will be ECW World Tag Team Champions!
27:59Sabu with the slingshot sidekick!
28:04And now with the slingshot somersault leg drop!
28:08Van Dam in trouble on the outside!
28:09Bubba Ray Dudley set for the ride!
28:10Sabu gets caught!
28:11Fell in a back suplex by the big man!
28:12Bigelow and Candido working over Mr. Monday Night with the delight of the franchise Shane Douglas!
28:21Douglas getting inchier and inchier to get back in the ring and compete!
28:22He keeps getting closer and closer to the ring and to the action despite doctor's orders!
28:51Bubba Ball with authority!
28:54Douglas looks on!
28:56The franchise has been as impartial a color commentator as I could have hoped for!
29:03But his passion to be back in the ring cannot and will not be denied!
29:11Devon Dudley hits the steal!
29:14Van Dam kicking away on Bigelow!
29:16Bigelow working on the big man's left knee!
29:22Bigelow has had well documented knee problems!
29:27Most big men do and Van Dam looking to capitalize on the medical history of Bam Bam Bigelow!
29:34Headbutt by the Beast from the East!
29:37That'll slow anyone down!
29:39Alright, we're at the stolehés oohs!
29:42V da van Dam set for the ride!
29:44Bigelow misses in the corner!
29:48Van Dam went for the hudenkon rana and got bombed!
29:53Bubba Ray Dudley hammering down on Sabu Debon with a nice right cross on Candido
30:02Sit down with the Holy M continued!
30:05Van Damme counters the powerbomb, or did he?
30:12Van Damme adjusted his weight in mid-air, just kicked his legs out.
30:17That threw off the balance of Bam Bam Bigelow.
30:20Van Damme crushed the sternum of the beast from the east.
30:24Van Damme up top in one motion.
30:27High cross body.
30:30He bounced right off Bigelow.
30:32He had so much momentum coming off the top turnbuckle.
30:36And there's the leaping sidekick.
30:38Bigelow wisely rolls to the outside where he cannot be pinned by Rob Van Damme.
30:45But is he safe?
30:52Hell no!
30:54Rob Van Damme, what elevation, landed across the shoulder of Bigelow.
30:59May have injured his own ribs in the process.
31:04We've got a chair set up in the ring now.
31:07Air Sabu, ready for departure.
31:10And connects with Devon Dudley.
31:13Almost took out Rob Van Damme.
31:17So that would have broken Sabu's heart.
31:19Candido nails Bigbubber A Dudley with a chair and floors him.
31:29Candido setting up the chair.
31:33Candido trying to tear a page out of Sabu's book.
31:39Gets dumped to the outside.
31:41Lands on everybody.
31:43And now we have got two near 350 pounders in the center of the ring.
31:55Bigelow face to face with Bubba Ray Dudley.
32:00What a collision.
32:01Nobody goes down.
32:03Bigelow's got the experience.
32:07Bubba's got youth.
32:10Bigelow is as tough as they come.
32:12And Bubba Ray's just so damn brazen and obnoxious.
32:16He doesn't know when to quit.
32:19Francine's up on the apron.
32:20She's got Molotov.
32:22Francine is...
32:24She's distracting referee Jamalot.
32:27Bigelow at three points dance.
32:32Bubba Ray Dudley.
32:33Look at Molotov.
32:34That can be very distracting.
32:36Believe me. I know.
32:38Molotchi Cruts.
32:41Referee Jim Molotov is waffer thin.
32:43He's down.
32:44He's down.
32:45Cover by Bigelow.
32:46Bigelow covers Bubba Ray Dudley.
32:48But Molotov is down.
32:51We've got no referee.
32:52This resembles a human demolition derby.
32:55Three teams vying for the World Tag Team title belts.
32:58Can it get any crazier?
33:03I had open my big box.
33:10The mood is about to change here in New York City.
33:17There's the Brooklyn mood on Bubba Ray Dudley.
33:20P-bone Paz placed on Evon.
33:23Accept no invitation.
33:26Closeline on Bigelow.
33:28Headed on Paz placed.
33:31Bigelow's closed line to the outside.
33:32to the outside, and Douglas is going to jump Taz from behind.
33:39The World Heavyweight Champion was going to blindside the Astro World Heavyweight Champion,
33:46the Dudley Crunch Taz.
33:49The World Heavyweight Champion distracted the human suplex machine,
33:53and the Dudley Crunch Taz.
33:55Here comes 3D, the Dudley Death Drop.
33:58No, it's the Taz mission that comes to Hajime.
34:03Bubba Ray Dudley is tapping. Bubba Ray Dudley is tapping.
34:08Here's Big Choked Out.
34:10Devon driving at Paz over Bubba Ray Dudley.
34:155-year male Devon.
34:17Paz has interjected himself into this three-way dance.
34:21He's pointing at the franchise.
34:25Paz is going after Dudley.
34:28Bigelow covers Bubba Ray Dudley.
34:32Monroe is up.
34:34Sabu saves the Dudleys.
34:37Candido splashes Bubba Ray Dudley.
34:41The Dudleys have been eliminated.
34:44We now have the triple threat contingent of FanBear Bigelow and Chris Candido.
34:51Challenging Rob Van Dam and Sabu for the ECW World Tag Team title belts.
34:57Candido gets planted, buried underneath the chair.
35:01Split-legged Moonsault misses.
35:04Van Dam takes a face full of chair.
35:07Candido and Bigelow could walk out of Queen's New York City with the World Tag Team title belts.
35:18And would that just make Shane Douglas' day?
35:22Van Dam was climbing the turnbuckles.
35:26He got caught by Bigelow.
35:28Can Candido capitalize?
35:32Candido going all the way up top.
35:37Sitching up Van Dam.
35:40Top rope superplex beautifully executed.
35:45Candido again climbing the turnbuckles.
35:51Calling for assistance.
35:54It's gonna be a rocket launcher.
35:57Candido missed.
35:59Leg sweep by Van Dam.
36:02Sabu drop kick the knee of Bam Bam Bigelow.
36:05The knee that Van Dam was working over earlier.
36:08Frog splash on Candido.
36:11What elevation.
36:12Van Dam with a frog splash.
36:15Sabu locks on the camel clutch.
36:18Back flip.
36:21Back flip.
36:22Both feet in the face of Candido.
36:24Candido is out.
36:27Bigelow saves Chris Candido.
36:30And again, Sabu drop kicks the left knee of Bam Bam Bigelow.
36:37Rolling Thunder.
36:42The champs hit Rolling Thunder on the 345-pound beast from the East.
36:53Pescano on Chris Candido.
36:56Bill Alfonso slides a table into the ring.
37:00And Sabu sets it up.
37:05Sabu got caught.
37:13Powerbomb on Sabu.
37:18Drop kick on Bigelow who manages to land on his feet.
37:23But Sabu bulldogs Bam Bam Bigelow through the table.
37:28Candido breaks up the three count.
37:31And Candido eats a steel chin.
37:37Cover.
37:40It's over.
37:43Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of everyone here at Extreme Champions Wrestling,
37:49thank you for joining us for only one hour of action from the one and only
