00:00It wasn't the November to remember. It wasn't hardcore heaven. It was just another night at the ECW arena. Just another show on our tour. But a night that would change the course of ECW history.
00:22Extreme Championship
00:30Extreme Championship
00:35ordnung bustling
01:53Welcome to the house the franchise built.
01:57It's been obvious since November to remember, you morons want to see Rod Van Dam and Sabu kick my ass.
02:15I'm here because I've got a plan.
02:34I've always had a plan up my sleeves and I've always said the man with a plan will hold the goal.
02:40I've always said the man with a plan will hold the goal.
02:52We're in your wet dreams.
03:04Well, Rod Van Dam, Sabu, and Fonzie, you think you got my ass on the line?
03:16My enforcer's gone?
03:18Pandito's not in the house.
03:19Will this again hit the music?
03:25Let's do it.
03:36Now we're waiting.
04:38For five years, as I've climbed the ladder here at ECW, there has been one person who
04:49has constantly been right behind this shoulder.
04:53He's been my shadow, and that person is you, Taz.
04:56I've not been able to shake you.
05:01You see, I know why you and I dislike each other so much.
05:06They say opposites attract, Taz, and we ain't opposites.
05:10We're cut from the same cloth.
05:12You and I are the same f***ing beast.
05:15Hold on one second here, because this is the kind of thing that usually in wrestling takes
05:34place in the dressing room.
05:36I air my laundry out in public.
05:41When I threw the NWA title down, I could have done it in Corluzzo's face in the back.
05:46Instead, I did it right here.
05:47When I lost the World's Heavyweight title, I could have put a Monday Night Raw shirt on outside.
05:55Instead, I had balls big enough to do it right there.
05:58And when I told Vince McMahon to shove his jaw up his ass until he f***ing choked on it,
06:08I didn't do it by writing some letter and hiding behind a notary.
06:16I did it right in this f***ing damn ring.
06:20In public.
06:21Every single world champion in ECW has been humbled by this belt.
06:30Terry Funk, Sandman, and even Raven with all his rantings.
06:36Even Sabu.
06:39If there was one person who told the world he was worthy of being a world champion, that was me.
06:45The truth hurts, doesn't it, idiots?
06:58You took a belt and made it.
07:00And you told the world there is only one shooter man enough to hold that belt.
07:06You're right about that, Kaz.
07:07You are the only person that can hold that belt.
07:12Ain't no man taking it from you.
07:13Taz, if I have to hand you a world title shot, I've not been able to shake you for five years.
07:22I know in time, when I hand this belt over to you, when you beat me.
07:28Because I know you're the man that will beat me, Taz.
07:32I've said it, okay?
07:35I've f***ing said it.
07:37Is that what you people want to hear?
07:39I don't mind you putting the bullets to the back of my head, Taz, because you're old school, just like me.
07:47And I don't mind a wrestler getting a shot at the world title.
07:51I do care about a f***ing f*** getting a shot at that title.
07:57He ain't old school, he don't deserve a world title shot, you Taz do, you've made yourself
08:21a world champion, Taz for you and I to step in the ring, we'll call it the OK Corral,
08:26there's only one way the franchise makes it, I got a bullseye on my back, I got Sabu wanting
08:34a shot.
08:36Does Shane Douglas actually think that Taz is going to buy this line of crap?
08:41It's a vintage franchise, he's trying to manipulate Taz, he's trying to make Taz his personal protector,
08:48he's trying to make Taz do his dirty work.
08:50If you morons are done, I'll finish my point and Francine and I can get back to some serious
08:58business.
08:59I got Rob Van Dam, ECW's pushing him up that ladder, he's breathing down my neck, I hear
09:10people in the dressing room tell me, Justin Incredible has got your number.
09:14Taz, for you and I to ever find out who the better man is, you've got to watch my back.
09:28You see, Douglas wants an assassin and he wants Taz to take the job.
09:33You want to make sure the franchise makes it to the OK Corral, now that Bam Bam's gone.
09:44Said it a hundred times, Taz, in the back, I've sent it through your messengers, I've sent
09:50it in public.
09:50I'll tell you what, Taz, why don't you and I see what you and I can do together?
10:02I say tonight, you and I, Taz, challenge Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Dam and Shabu.
10:21Obviously, Taz, this is the match everybody wants to see.
10:32As we head into our next pay-per-view, Sunday night, January 10th, 1999, ECW guilty as charged.
10:50Let's reflect on the challenge the franchise made.

18:20Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling and our continuing coverage from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of the incident that occurred tonight.

19:04E.C.W. returns to pay-per-view on Sunday night, January 10th, 1999, with Guilty as Charged.
19:21Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling and our continuing coverage from the E.C.W.
19:26Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
19:28Earlier tonight, one of our more intriguing confrontations.
19:31It was scheduled to be Lance Storm one-on-one against Jerry Lynn, and then...
19:43That humble young woman is Tammy Lynn Vitch, B-Y-E-C-H.
19:51And that equally humble man, a graduate, a survivor,
19:58Stuhart's infamous dungeon, Lance Storm.
20:19Jerry Lynn looking for another piece of Lance Storm.
20:22Has still not forgotten the member to remember.
20:30Mikey Liffrex mistakenly caught Jerry Lynn the match.
20:35Jerry Lynn wants his shot at Lance Storm, wants to prove he's the better man, wants him for all.
20:40How about showing the ladies some respect?
21:02There's been a question nagging me in the back tonight.
21:06And that question is, how many times do I have to beat you, Jerry Lynn?
21:14Now, I've realized that losing to me this late in the card is actually a bit of a push for you, Jerry Lynn.
21:22But you see, I've got an idea to go one better.
21:31See, there's a guy in the back who I've also beat recently.
21:36And I know he's desperately in need of a win.
21:40So if he wanted to come out and wrestle Jerry Lynn instead of me,
21:45there's actually a pretty good chance one of them might actually win a match for a change.
21:52Hit whip, Rex Music, and get his ass out here.
21:58Lance Storm wants Mikey to wrestle Jerry Lynn instead.
22:04But last week in three, Mikey took Jerry Lynn's spot against Lance Storm.
22:10This week in Philadelphia, Lance Storm wants Mikey to take his spot against Jerry Lynn.
22:18How generous of him, I think.
22:29Lance Storm, why don't you just shut the f*** up?
22:32You know damn well the only reason you beat me is because Jerry Lynn helped you.
22:39And you also know damn well that the only reason you beat Jerry Lynn is because I helped you.
22:47I may have had a little help, but it wasn't because I needed it.
22:53It was because it was just a little easier that way.
22:57The truth is, I could beat the two of you guys tonight on my own if I wanted to.
23:05Is there something funny?
23:09You think that was funny?
23:11You're going to beat the two of these guys.
23:13I could beat the two of these guys here tonight by myself.
23:16I'm from Calgary.
23:17I can do that.
23:19You're from Calgary.
23:22That's fine.
23:23You're from Calgary.
23:24Then you can beat these two guys.
23:26Then you're going to do it back to back tonight.
23:29Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not back to back.
23:32I never said nothing about back to back.
23:35Back to back, win or lose, back to back, both these guys tonight.

24:28Jerry Lynn now going up tough.
24:36Punch out.
24:41Jerry Lynn setting a blistering pace.
24:43This matchup goes from a single-eight, Boston Crab.
24:45Lance Storm may tap out.
24:51Kevin Lynn pinch yelling, he's all right, he's fine.
24:53Meanwhile, Lance Storm is screaming.
24:54Lance Storm makes it to the bottom rope.
25:05John Finnegan makes Jerry Lynn break the hole.
25:08I thought Storm was done.
25:12Move to the midsection.
25:16Lance Storm's in for the ride.
25:17Ducks the clothesline.
25:20Spinnick, heel kick, connects.
25:21Powerball with the authority.
25:34But Storm can't even stick.

25:55Let's go.
25:55Jerry Lynn back into the corner.
25:57It's up the ride.
26:00What impact in the corner.
26:02Here, Jerry Lynn is hurting.
26:11Back the other way.
26:14Fort wheel, handsprings, splash in the court.
26:25Back the other way, and Jerry Lynn winds up in the first row.
26:34Jerry Lynn ducks the elbow.
26:37Going for a crucifix, he hits caught.
26:42Lance Storm rolls forward.
26:44Two, no!
26:51Storm's up to the ride.
26:53Great spring in the legs, but he gets crutched.
26:58Jerry Lynn now climbing the turnbuckle,
27:00takes an elbow to the side of the headman,
27:02lands on his feet.
27:03Here he comes again.
27:06Rolls up Lance Storm, too.
27:09Man, that was close.
27:14Reversal, short arm, close line ducked.
27:16Close line ducked.
27:18Super kick connects.
27:21Enchel on cover.

27:33He countered it.
27:36Double arm DDT.
27:38This should be it.
27:40Cover.
27:41His shoulder was up.
27:42I swear on my mother.
27:43His shoulder was up.
27:44No kidding.
27:45Tombstone pilot driver may be reversed.
27:46No, inverted DDT.
27:47Cover.
27:49It doesn't get any closer than that.
27:50Wow!
27:59Tammy Lynn bitch up on the apron.
28:01Mikey trying to get rid of Tammy Lynn bitch.
28:04Lynch shoved into Mikey.
28:05Mikey, it's the steel guardrail.
28:06Lance Storm has the purse.
28:08Oh, come on!

30:20tammy lynn bitch is going nuts she wants help for lance thorn
30:29the world heavyweight champion the franchise shane douglas was in the ring rob van damme
30:33Elijah's has developed into one of the most intriguing three-way feuds we have ever seen here in ECW.
30:40The funny part is, the guy who's way ahead on points is being carried from the ring unconscious.
30:48Because the winner, yet again, is Lance Storm.
30:55The world heavyweight champion, the franchise Shane Douglas, was in the ring.
30:59Rob Van Dam and Sabu were set to make their entrance.
31:01The question was, would Taz join the franchise to do battle against Sabu and Rob Van Dam?
31:07The answer to that question started a chain reaction, which right now leaves us here, waiting for word from the hospital.
31:18Can you believe we're going to see Taz team up with the franchise Shane Douglas to take on Sabu and Rob Van Dam?
31:27There's two lines of thinking here.
31:29Taz must be so angry with Sabu after what happened at the November Tremember and everything else in their past.
31:39And it is Taz's nature.
31:41That he is willing to do anything, even team with the franchise, to get his hands on Sabu.
31:47Or, he actually buys into Douglas' line of crap, and he feels he must stop Sabu, or there will be no franchise to finally dethrone.
31:58And if that's the case, is it for one night only, or at Taz Green, he changed protection.
32:06One thing I am pretty sure of, it's that Rob Van Dam and Sabu really don't care.
32:24Sabu gets a chance to take a shot at the franchise before the pay-per-view.
32:38He also gets the answer on Taz.
32:40Rob Van Dam, in the ring with the MTW champion and the world WWE champion,
32:44wants to prove that his World Television Championship is the superior one.
32:49Of course, this is all speculation.
32:51There's some evidence pointing to all of it, but nothing conclusive.
32:55There is reasonable doubt every win's play.
32:58Basically, there's not enough conclusive evidence to label any Batman ring.
33:03Guilty at charge!
33:05The world television champion and the unrecognized FTW world champion, face-to-face in center ring.
33:15Go to the midsection.
33:17Taz response in kind.
33:18They tie upside, headlocked out for long.
33:20Van Damme bucks the clothesline.
33:22Spinning heel kick connects.
33:26Van Damme scores first.
33:31Van Damme hammering Taz to the corner.
33:33Takes some forearms.
33:34Reversal on the Irish wing.
33:37Taz takes the boot to the mouth.
33:40Van Damme with a split leg.
33:42Gets caught.
33:44Snap there.
33:45Taz takes him over.
33:48Taz kept this Van Damme.
33:50I cradled Taz Plex.
33:55And here comes Sabu.
33:57Look at the color Sabu is wearing Van Damme.
34:00There is some history between these two.
34:03Here they go.
34:04Changing punches.
34:06Leg died by Taz.
34:07He's on top.
34:08And he's opening up.
34:09Sabu now on top.
34:11And he hammers away on Taz.
34:13Taz hooks Sabu.
34:14Takes him over.
34:16Comes up with a clamp on the right arm of Sabu.
34:20Sabu's in the rope.
34:24Taz stopping away.
34:25Taz moving.
34:27Heavy header and a hook to New York.
34:29Doing damage in the corner.
34:30Reversal on the Irish whip.
34:32Taz starting to burst in.
34:34Sabu goes for clothesline.
34:36Taz moves.
34:38Head and arm Taz flex.
34:42Great throw.
34:43Sabu and Taz down the outside.
34:45Taz going over the guardrail in the first row.
34:51And Alfonso slides to cheer to Sabu.
34:58Here's Sabu ready for takeoff.
35:02And man, did Sabu connect.
35:05Sabu.
35:19Wow.
35:23Here comes the franchise.
35:24He's got Alfonso.
35:26And Van Damme kicks Shane Douglas right in the air.
35:29The world television champion all over the world, heavyweight champion on the outside.
35:47Douglas gets crushed on the steel guardrail.
35:50That's not what the franchise wants to be, but he's fighting back.
35:54They're exchanging right hands.
35:57The chair.
36:02Van Damme miraculously keeps his balance and kicks the chair right into Douglas' face.
36:08Douglas may be out.
36:18Van Damme dragging the franchise back over the steel guardrail.
36:23The Van Damme not done for the world heavyweight champion.
36:31Douglas Moore back in.
36:34Out of the frying pan into the fire.
36:36The number one contender to his world heavyweight champion now stomping away on the franchise.
36:41Rolling thunder.
36:46And the franchise is all alone.
36:51Sandborn Van Damme's game plan is apparent.
36:54Keep Taz away from the franchise.
36:56Get the franchise alone.
36:57He's vulnerable when he's alone.
36:59Both.
37:00Both feet at the base of the franchise while trapped in the camel clutch.
37:05They are softening up Shane Douglas.
37:08For Sunday night, January 10th.
37:10Guilty as charged.
37:11The franchise plan is backfiring.
37:14Slingshot somersault leg drop and a tumbling senton splash.
37:20But the franchise kicks out.
37:23Sabu goes out after Taz.
37:25And to the franchise's credit, he manages to kick out.
37:29Shane Douglas is a fighting champion.
37:34Taz now being set up by Sabu.
37:39Sabu.
37:46Slingshot splash puts Taz through the table.
37:50All the way to the concrete floor.
37:53Both feet at the base of the franchise.
37:57Can Van Damme follow up?
38:00Taz has been put through the table by Sabu.
38:02The franchise is alone in the ring yet again.
38:05And here comes Sabu.
38:06And there's the double team.
38:12What the hell is that?
38:14Sabu pulled the...
38:16Pulled the spike out of his boot.
38:22Oh my God.
38:27Sabu is...
38:29He's jumping the world heavyweight champion of the board with that spike.
38:32Rob Van Damme keeping Taz and Faye.
38:37Sabu just like his uncle the Sheik who terrorized Detroit like this for years.
38:42Just like Sabu did in Pittsburgh.
38:45He again is carving up the franchise Shane Douglas like a Thanksgiving turkey.
38:49Van Damme all over Taz keeping him out of the ring.
38:59Taz hits the seat.
39:02Taz hits the seat.
39:08The franchise has the chair.
39:11He nails Sabu.
39:13He nails Van Damme.
39:17Right to the back of the neck.
39:20But Sabu drop-kicks the franchise.
39:21Franchise playing the knee, and Shane falls headfirst into the steel chair.
39:29Leg drop to the back of the neck.
39:35Savu going up top. Nice toss to the chair by Alfonso.
39:40The Franchise is broke.
39:43O'Gravian face muster to the back of the head of the Franchise.
39:47Shane Douglas is out.
39:51He's out.
39:52He's out.
39:53He's out.
39:54He's out.
39:55He's out.
39:56Cover.
39:59Savu has pinned the World Heavyweight Champion again.
40:04He did it after November to remember, there was a controversial double pin in Pittsburgh.
40:10The Franchise's hometown.
40:13And now here at the ECW Arena, Savu has pinned the Franchise again, and now he's got him in the Caval Cut.
40:19Giving Douglas a dose of his own medicine.
40:22He is softening up the World Heavyweight Champion for guilty as charged.
40:27Sunday night, January 10th, live on pay-per-view.
40:30And he did it with Taz.
40:32Watch his back.
40:33And now Taz locks off the Taz mission.
40:34Look at the Hanjime.
40:37Alfonso nails Taz the chair.
40:39Taz shakes it off.
40:40Savu is climbing the turnbuckle.
40:42He can't escape.
40:43He can't escape.
40:47Oh my God.
40:48Taz's mission into a Taz pletze.
40:58Taz's mission pletze.
41:01And he turned Savu upside down and drilled his forehead into the mat.
41:05Jam Savu's neck.
41:06His neck.
41:08I don't think Taz meant to do that.
41:12Look out.
41:13I think Taz is.
41:14His temper finally got the better of him.
41:16Taz's anger overcame his reason.
41:20Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz, Taz
42:20Now what in the hell is he stomping away on Sabu?
42:43What in the hell?
42:44He's showing no remorse and Van Damme has had enough of Kaz.
42:47Rob Van Damme has had enough of Kaz.
42:50Look at Alfonso swing away and they can't hold Van Damme back.
43:00It has exploded here in Philadelphia.
43:04Tag stomping away at Sabu, knocking him off the stretcher.
43:09He's trying to kill him.
43:11You can see this again.
43:25Sabu trying to break the task mission to Khan, to Hajime, and Taz just popped his hip in a minute.
43:44Sabu being placed in the ambulance.
43:51Hey, cue that up again.
43:53And then roll it slowly.
43:56But Kata Hajime is a choke.
43:58You don't clasp your hands.
43:59Taz clasped his hands.
44:01He turned it into a Tazplex.
44:03He was trying to break Sabu's neck.
44:05It was intentional.
44:06The son of a is guilty.
44:26For 57 minutes, we've been rolling live to tape covering the incident that occurred here tonight at the ECW arena.
44:33And as of now, there are two schools of thought.
44:37The first one says that Taz bid on Shane Douglas' bait.
44:41That he took out Sabu for the franchise and for a price.
44:44Is that price Sabu's World Heavyweight title shot?
44:47Because the franchise never made that promise.
44:50The second school of thought says Taz was justified after what Sabu did at the 1998 November to remember.
44:56Either way, I don't want to speculate because Taz has called in on his cell phone.
45:00He's on the Jersey Turnpike.
45:02Let's patch his call through.
45:04Oh, my God.
45:06Oh, boy.
45:07You would think the president himself got shot in the head.
45:12Everybody's running in the ring.
45:14Security.
45:16Wrestlers.
45:16Wannabe wrestlers.
45:18Referees.
45:19Owners of wrestling companies.
45:20And there they are, thinking, oh, my God, Sabu's dead.
45:27And Taz killed him.
45:29And look at this.
45:30Taz has shown remorse.
45:32Taz feels bad that he hurt Sabu.
45:34What a bunch of monks.
45:36And as soon as they left their guard down, I went over to Sabu's limp body and stomped a mudhole in his ass again.
45:42But when I got hurt in 95, ain't nobody give a flying f**k about me, right?
45:48When I broke my neck in Fort Lauderdale, they left me there for dead and I walked out to bring myself.
45:53You see, this thing is all Sabu's fault.
45:56The whole thing was that the November member, he struck three times on me.
46:00Once by stealing my thunder, the second time, that chair off the top rope onto my head, and third and most importantly, taking my number one contender spot.
46:13See, Sabu's a dumb f**k.
46:15He's an out-of-control freak.
46:17And he struck on me three times in one match.
46:20Shot his load.
46:22Not Taz.
46:22Uh-uh.
46:23I struck once tonight.
46:26And look at what I left behind.
46:28And I ain't done.
46:29There's two more receipts owed to you, Sabu.
46:32And you know they're coming.
46:34And I know you're coming back from this next thing that I just did to you with this suplex.
46:37Brother, this ain't enough to keep you down.
46:39And I know it ain't, because I don't want it to keep you down.
46:42I know you better than anybody.
46:44You know me better than anybody.
46:47So, Sabu, you come back nice and strong, brother.
46:50Because I'll pick my spot again.
46:52I owe you two receipts.
46:53I'm striking twice on you again, brother.
46:57You see, I'm Taz.
46:59The FTW World Heavyweight Champion.
47:03Beat me if you can, Sabu.
47:06And most importantly, you dumb mother f***er.
47:10Survive if...
47:11If...
47:12I let you.
47:15I let you.
47:25I let you.
47:34You're welcome.
