00:30Here we go, Here we go, Here we go, Here we go!
00:52Jericho! Jericho! Jericho! Jericho! Jericho!
00:57I realize that all you guys are Jericho-holics.
01:05Because he's from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
01:14But that's not why I'm out here.
01:17I'm out here because Tommy Dreamer has been running his mouth.
01:31He's been out here on TV claiming that I'm on the gas.
01:38I'm in the midst of saying something. You save that for later.
01:52Dreamers out here claiming I'm on the gas.
01:56And claiming I get my integrity from a vial.
01:59Which I assume is an accusation of steroid use.
02:07Let me tell you something, Dreamer.
02:10I get my integrity from surviving the dungeon back home in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
02:16I've been working my ass off in a gym for 17 years.
02:29That's something that a bunch of wannabe athlete couch potatoes here at ringside can't appreciate.
02:36And that's something a bunch of pseudo-athletes in the back who wrestle in t-shirts can't appreciate.
02:49Believe me when I tell you, I stand before you the best built professional athlete this side of a negative drug test.
03:04And tonight, I'm going to prove it.
03:09For those of you who can't do the math, this is a specimen sample that I'm willing to subject to drug testing.
03:29The only question is, is Tommy Dreamer willing to do the same?
03:40Because you see, I saw a really old picture of Tommy Dreamer last week.
03:47And he was actually in shape once upon a time.
03:52And I know for a fact, he doesn't even know a guy named Jim.
03:58So I figure, he's taking shortcuts.
04:01So, Dreamer, if you've got the guts to get your fat ass out here, you can prove me wrong.
04:10Come on, Tommy Dreamer.
04:24Believe it or not, answering the challenge of Lance Thorne.
04:29Lance Thorne, he's coming to the ring so he can publicly urinate.
04:36We have gone from extreme championship wrestling to absurd championship wrestling.
04:42This whole incident is in poor taste, to say the least, even for us.
04:48Cyrus is at ringside and distracting Tommy Dreamer.
04:53And Lance Thorne capitalizes.
04:55Lance Thorne will over Tommy Dreamer.
04:58We're here.
04:59Dreamer.
05:00Reversal.
05:01Place the knee.
05:03DDT.
05:18Century Sportsman.

07:12Hello everyone and welcome to Xtreme Championship Wrestling!
07:42I'm Joey Stiles at the ECW Arena in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!
07:57This is Cyber Slam 99, our annual Internet Fan Weekend!
08:05And at this time, I would like you to help me welcome my guest
08:10who this weekend celebrates his one year anniversary
08:15as the ECW World Television Champion, Rob Van Der.
08:35We'll be right back!
08:45We'll be right back!
08:50We'll be right back!
08:55We'll be right back!
08:59We'll be right back!
09:04We'll be right back!
09:49Congratulations on your one-year anniversary as the ECW World Television Champion.
10:00That's right, Joey Styles.
10:06A very important weekend as me and Fozzie are celebrating one year as the World Television Champion.
10:16And one very successful year as Mr. PPV.
10:27One more year of being the whole show.
10:37Hey, Mr. Muddy Knight, I knew that you wouldn't be satisfied.
10:46I knew you wouldn't be content with an ordinary opponent tonight, especially in the ECW arena.
10:54So what I've done, my personal choice tonight is a big talent, is a former TV Champion, is a former ECW Tag Champion.
11:08It's a big competition for you, Mr. Muddy Knight, but you're the whole show.
11:14And listen to music.
11:16And you're going to take that one year to the back of the world.
12:00So, Bill Alfonso is bringing back from Scorpio to ECW to challenge Mr. PPV for the world television title at CyberSlayer 99.
12:15Gabu has been pinched by Alfonso, recovers with a fractured jaw,
12:20being forced to watch on the monitor, and hitting every second of it.
12:25Look at that, look at that, look at Sabu's eye.
12:30Fans from over 40 states over 12 countries converging on Philadelphia,
12:36Pennsylvania for CyberSlam 99, ECW's annual Internet Fan Weekend.
12:44The complete evening available on videotape from ECW Home Video, uncensored, uncut, unedited.
12:52Scorpio having a cold look before getting in the ring.
12:59Wow, Scorpio looks great.
13:01He shed some body weight.
13:05How long has Scorpio known he was coming back to face Wildman?
13:11Obviously he has slimmed down.
13:14He's gonna try to outwink Mr. PPV, and that's a good strategy.
13:18Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
13:30Ladies and gentlemen.
13:31Introducing the Challengers.
13:34Weighing tonight at 234 pounds, from Denver, Colorado, to Cold Scorpio!
13:54Introducing at this time, the manager of champions, the man that pulls it right down the middle,
14:01Mr. Bill Alfonso!
14:09From Battle Creek, Michigan, weighing tonight at 236 pounds,
14:17he is one head of the ECW World Tide Team Championship!
14:24He is the current holder of the ECW World Television Championship!
14:32Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Mr. Monday Night, Rob Ben!
14:40I'm gonna tell you this for the last time,
14:46Rocky told you, you can't wrestle!
14:48The doctor told you, you can't wrestle!
14:50The commissioner told you, you can't wrestle!
14:52Now I'm telling you, dammit!
14:54You're not wrestling!
14:55What the ?
14:56End your story!
14:58He gives up, put his ass down!
15:00Just another candid conversation with Paul Hammond.
15:08I wouldn't do his job for all the money in the world.
15:12Flat headlock by Rob Van Dam.
15:15Really clamping on the head of Scorpio.
15:19Van Dam shoved off, shoulder block, down goes Scorpio.
15:24Damn hot doggy.
15:31Such a modest young man.
15:36He is as good as he thinks he is.
15:38And then so.
15:43He'd better not take Scorpio lightly.
15:48Scorpio at one time was known as Two Gold Scorpio for co-holding
15:52the world television title and the world tag team title.
15:56As Rob Van Dam is doing tonight.
16:01Scorpio is over the ride.
16:02The brakes on, leapfrog by Van Dam.
16:05Scorpio pauses, nice timing, catches Van Dam.
16:08Double under hook, takes him over.
16:14Scorpio has been doing his homework.
16:19Kick finds the mark.
16:21Right on the point of the jaw.
16:27Here Alfonso ringside headbutted by Scorpio right to the ear of Van Dam.
16:33Van Dam leaching the sidekicks from both sides.
16:37Frontkicks, now forearms to the face.
16:40Van Dam unloading off the challenger here in Cyberslam 99.
16:45Scorpio is down.
16:50Both feet right in the nose of Scorpio.
16:56Alfonso right in the face of Scorpio.
16:58That's gotta be distracting and annoying.
17:01Van Dam does not want Scorpio outside.
17:06Scorpio set for the ride.
17:08Van Dam split legged duck down, court wheel by Scorpio.
17:12Spin kick ducked connected by Rob Van Dam.
17:17Van Dam thus far out quicking Scorpio.
17:27Scorpio puts the brakes on.
17:30Hits the spinning heel kick floors the champion.
17:34Van Dam back into the corner.
17:38Irish Whitten close line.
17:40Nowhere for Van Dam to go in the corner.
17:46Sit him down.
17:47Sit him down.
17:48Sit him.
17:49What in the hell is wrong with you?
17:51You're not going out to the ring.
17:53I'm not talking to you as your friend.
17:55I'm not talking to you as your former manager.
17:57I'm telling you as the goddamn booker.
17:59You're not working.
18:00You're not going out to the ring.
18:02Watch the monitor.
18:04God damn it.
18:05Won't you ever waste it.
18:09Pauly's relationship with Sabo hasn't changed in six years.
18:14My God.
18:22Dude man, watch the monitor brother.
18:24How long do you think they're going to keep Sabo with that check?
18:29Down towards the world television champion.
18:34Scorpio looking to follow up.
18:35I'm on the second turnbuckle.
18:39Somersault right from across the back of the neck.
18:44That may be the beginning of the year for Mr. PP the RVD.
18:49Federal Press 2-0.
18:52The count only says referee Jim Molina.
18:58Scorpio has the champion on the ropes.
19:03Now literally.
19:04Pulls him out to the center of the ring.
19:08Leg straight by Scorpio.
19:12Rumps Van Damme.
19:15Van Damme wrenching in pain.
19:17I got caught listening.
19:18It's Vince McMahon telling you what to do.
19:20You're Sabo.
19:21For God's sake.
19:22You can do whatever you want.
19:23You know what?
19:24I was talking to Fonzie a little bit earlier.
19:25Which is between you and I.
19:26Fonzie wants you out there.
19:28Fonzie wants you out there.
19:29Fonzie wants you out there.
19:30Fonzie wants you out there.
19:31That's one.
19:32On the back.
19:37SABOO just put a swore bell through a table.
19:44Alfonzo is livid.
19:46That SABOO is risking his health.
19:49In his career, SABOO, SABOO was stirred up by Syrus.
19:56Good job, Brompton, again.
20:02Gil Alfonso is absolutely furious.
20:06Samu risking his career coming out here with a fractured choice.
20:12Putting Scorpio through a table all the way to the concrete floor.
20:18Blood again pouring from the mouth of Samu.
20:22He is truly the most suicidal, homicidal, genocidal,
20:26despotifying maniac in all professional sports.
20:30And he may be shortening his own career.
20:32He can't even get up.
20:41Rob Van Dam wisely rolling Scorpio's limp body back in the center of the ring.
20:48Drops the leg, Scorpio sandwiched between Van Dam with a steel chair.
20:53Two.
20:54No, Scorpio gets the left shoulder up.
20:57Count only says referee Jim Molino.
21:00Van Dam looking a little worse for wear as well.
21:05Van Dam looking to put Scorpio away.
21:12And it's a forearm and a front kick.
21:18Scorpio puts the brakes on.
21:20Waistlock, standing switch.
21:22Van Dam downstairs.
21:28Powerbomb countered by Scorpio.
21:30But connects, lands one of his own clans.
21:34Van Dam collapses on the champion to it.
21:36One, two, two.
21:37No.
21:38Right shoulder up.
21:43It's anyone's matchup.
21:46Scorpio fighting through the interference by Van Dam's championship tag team partner Sabu.
21:52Scorpio now ascending the turnbuckle.
21:54He's so dangerous.
21:55Alfonso.
21:56Alfonso shoves Scorpio off the top turnbuckle.
22:01He gets scrunched.
22:02Makes a kick to the face.
22:04Scorpio is stunned.
22:05Alfonso with the chin.
22:07Alfonso with the chin.
22:08Alfonso with the chin.
22:13Top turnbuckle, Van Daminator.
22:18Will that be the exclamation point that ends this matchup?
22:22Van Dam on spaghetti legs going up top again.
22:29Scorpio trying to fight to his feet.
22:31Can he get up?
22:32No!
22:33Five star frog splash!
22:36The Frog's Flash!
22:38Thank you so much for joining us.
23:08Romeo gave Van Dam only to get handled.
23:14Sabo made the difference in this matchup.
23:19But it wasn't close to himself.
23:22Nevertheless, Van Dam still got the gold and
23:26continues on the road to Sunday night, May 16th.
23:31Hardcore Heaven 99 when he has a date with a man who says he will not be denied
23:37again, he will be the next world television champion at the Hardcore Heaven, Jerry Lynn.
23:48Steven Prezak here with Justin Credible just hours before the big showdown
23:53against the franchise Shane Douglas here at the ECW Arena.
23:57Now Justin, you've been telling folks for more than a few weeks that
24:02you are indeed the next franchise of ECW.
24:05And so in some respects your bluff is called and in other respects this could be
24:14quite an opportunity for you.
24:19Steven Prezak, tonight I have an opportunity.
24:27I'm not going to pass up Shane Douglas tonight.
24:35I'm going to prove that the next franchise is not just the coolest.
24:51Shane Douglas, I'm going to prove that the next franchise is just incredible.
25:08About as intense situations we've ever seen here in the dressing room of ECW tonight.
25:14What a battle of epic proportions that will be later on tonight at Cyberslam 99.
25:24The whole evening available right now from ECW home video.
25:27You'll see that match up next week as part of our two week coverage of Cyberslam 99.
25:33Justin Credible feels he is going to be the next franchise of extreme championship wrestling,
25:38but the greatest champion in our history, Shane Douglas, has ideas of his own.
25:43You want to be the franchise of ECW, Justin Credible?
25:48Over my dead body.
25:52I am the franchise.
26:05We hope that we played this game.
26:10We'll be here today.
26:11Let's play with the vowels.
26:13I'm not going to the MVP.
26:14I didn't mean that we are not going to.
26:16We're going to do it.
26:17You're going to be there.
26:19We're going to be the Giants.
26:20Sir, amigo, I, you know, I say things that are a little stupid.
26:32I didn't mean, you know, you to come out here.
26:37Hey, hey, sir, champ, you know, I would love to wrestle here in this famous arena against
26:58you, and I'm sure I could choke you out in front of all my people.
27:07But you see, this morning, when I was lifting weights, and I had...
27:21TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:23TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:25TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:27TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:29TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:31TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:33TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:35TASS IS GONNA KILL YOU!
27:37Sir, while I was lifting weights, you got one minute to make your point, I'm gonna
27:43See, when I was lifting weights this morning and I had 480 pounds on the bench press, I broke my appendix right here.
28:10And you see, I would wrestle you, but as soon as I'm done here, I gotta go to the hospital and have both of them removed.
28:25But wait, I have a plan, please, please, will you just shut up for a second!
28:35See, I have a plan. I have a plan. I'm very smart. I have a substitute for me.
28:51And you know, he is the most underrated person ever to step foot in a wrestling ring.
28:58And you know, I know I could, well, maybe I couldn't beat you, but I know he could beat you, but he always had stupid ex-partners ruining it for him.
29:10So, without further ado, Maestro, Hit My Man's music!
29:19Here at Cyberslam 99 at the ECW Arena,
29:24cowardly Steve Carino has been confronted by Tash and is naming a substitute.
29:31Leave it to Carino the reasonless way out of a man jump after shooting off his big mouth.
29:38Tami-Lin Sitch!
29:43And Chris Candida!
29:48Sure, the music was cued, we thought it was more of Carino's crap, but it really is Tami-Lin Sitch and Chris Candida!
29:54.
30:03.
30:09.
30:14.
30:19.
30:23.
30:28I think Carino had this plan.
30:29I think Candida and Sitch put him up to this.
30:33This is no accident.
30:37Candida and Sitch wanted to make an impactful return to ECW and they may have done so.
30:48Candida is now in the ring with the World Heavyweight Champion.
30:55She found the camera again, big surprise.

34:12risk taker pulling out all the stuff in an attempt to arrest the World Heavyweight title away from Taz.
34:24Back over the guardrail.
34:29Taz going right after Candido.
34:37And the heavy hitter out of the red hook section of Brooklyn,
34:40Pounding down across the head of Chris Candido.
34:52I'm not sure the ECW arena can contain that.
35:02They're in the bleachers.
35:03Exchanging punches, nothing pretty about this matchup.
35:13Candido's gonna pound him up there.
35:24Back drop of the bleachers.
35:32Both of these men fantastic athletes, well-polished wrestlers, and you wouldn't know it to watch this matchup.
35:39They're just beating the living hell out of one another.
35:41And the World Heavyweight title, the undisputed ECW Heavyweight Championship of the World is on the line.
35:51And for the timekeeper's table, what an opportunity for 26-year-old Chris Candido.
36:05A best of 12 years since debuting at age 14 in the background of his grandfather, Popeye Chuck Richards.
36:13Here at Cyber Slam 99, an internet fan convention.
36:20Chris Candido could indeed become the World Heavyweight Champion in front of all his internet detractors,
36:26who he has had a public feud with.
36:31Steve Carino, Tammy Lynn Sitch, and Chris Candido have played this one perfectly.
36:37And quite frankly, the champion, Taz, may have been fought off guard.
36:48But you can't sell Taz short.
36:50Anyone who lives his entire life that's pissed off is capable of anything.
37:00Oops, Candido.
37:02T-Bone has fights on the stage below.
37:08Jeffrey John Peewee Moore wants him back in the ring.
37:11Two.
37:13Balls count anywhere, there's a two count.
37:15Hands headfirst into the speaker.
37:26Scooping a slam by Candido with a thump in front of us.
37:35Drops the elbow, makes the cover, two.
37:42One, two, three.
37:46Candido hooking Taz,
37:47stitches him up.
37:49One, two, three, four.
37:51Picks for vertical suplex, holding Taz in place.
37:54Braced quick by Candido, nice release.
37:58And Candido again,
38:04going up top, this time Taz inside the ring.
38:08One, two, three, four.
38:12Diving, hand front right to the shoulder, and then connected.
38:15Cover, hook of the leg to it.
38:20Hands kicks out with authority.
38:24One, two, three, four.
38:28Candido in the body, two, three, four.
38:30One, two, three, four.
38:31Shouting encouragement to her fiance.
38:33Reversal on the Irish with Candido in the body,
38:37Scissors gets caught, wheelbarrow, Taz, flex, Taz just muscles Candido up and
38:43over the top.
38:45Candido backs up into the corner.
38:49And Taz is gonna stomp a hole in his chest before the night's through.
38:57Candido steps to the right, puts the brakes on, tip up behind Taz.
39:04Slingshot fell in a bank, suplex right, Chris Candido, cover, hook of the leg, two.
39:13No, Taz kicks out of the game.
39:14Taz is looking frustrated, and
39:20Chris Candido snatched the brass ring here tonight at Cyberslam 99, the undisputed World Heavyweight
39:32title is on for the line.
39:34Candido leap right over Taz with Dr. Huden Kanbada, that time he caught Candido and bombed him in the center of the ring.
39:44And Taz now cap an eye, can he put away Candido, can he turn back his challenge?
39:54Taz stops the face of Candido.
40:00Backs him up.
40:06Backs him up.
40:07Tick him for the ride.
40:08Boots the face of Taz.
40:10Front head and arm, Taz clicks.
40:15Just like that, Taz snaps Candido over.
40:22Both athletes get up slowly, Taz to his feet first.
40:29Under the eye by Candido.
40:31Power block.
40:39Candido very powerful, and displayed it by planting the 248 pound undisputed World Heavyweight Champion.
40:53Pulling Taz up.
41:00He's supposed to be the top turnbuckle.
41:04Candido says, that's all.
41:07He may be going for the top rope Powerball.
41:10He calls it the blonde bombshell, named after his fiancee Sitch at ring top.
41:15Pulling Taz up.
41:17Taz is fighting it though.
41:18There's changing shots.
41:21Candido gets crushed.
41:24Taz hooks him.
41:29And there's the head and arm Taz clicks from the second turnbuckle.
41:34Candido now giving a chain by Tammy Lynn Sitch.
41:38He's wrapped around his right fist.
41:40Candido has a chain on his fist.
41:43The referee of Taz never saw him.
41:46Bullseye, down goes Taz.
41:48Four, one, two, three.
41:53Candido so close to becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion.
41:58But the chain was not enough.
42:00The chain not enough to put away the World Heavyweight Champion.
42:05But it gave the advantage to Candido who's on the outside plotting his next move.
42:10He's up and around.
42:11Taz is trying to shake out the complex.
42:14Taz's World Heavyweight title ring is in danger here tonight at Cyberslam 99.
42:21Camille Lynn Sitch looks on as Chris Candido slides the table into the ring.
42:29Taz is still down, feeling the effect of that chain to the hair.
42:34Candido, setting up that table.
42:42He's got something in mind for Taz.
42:45Taz has pulled himself up using the ropes, but
42:49is only standing because he's leaning on the turnbuckle.
42:53Candido unloads on Taz.
42:59Right hands connecting one after another.
43:02Taz trying to plug his way out of the corner, but Candido puts a thumb away in his eye.
43:10Now Taz can't see.
43:12Candido setting up the table.
43:14He's gonna try Taz head first to the table and finish him off.
43:19No!
43:20Taz missed it!
43:21Kata Hajime!
43:23My God!
43:26Taz...
43:27Taz!
43:36Taz!
43:39Taz!
43:40Taz!
43:43Taz!
43:45Taz!
43:46Taz!
43:47This is not the ending to the match we wanted to see.
43:54Chris Candido pointed to his neck, Tammy's in the ring.
43:59We're gonna get some, we're gonna get the EMTs in the ring.
44:05Chris Candido had suffered a broken neck in Madison Square Garden
44:09when competing in the World Wrestling Federation.
44:15Now he was driven headfirst through that cable.
44:22This is not the ending to the matchup we'd hoped to see.
44:27I've had my differences with Chris Candido pretty publicly
44:31over the last few months.
44:34He's had other detractors over the Internet.
44:38Nobody wants to see this.
44:40He's only 26 years old.
44:43I've had my differences with Chris as a man, as a human being.
44:53Nobody wants to see this.
44:57And he has really turned his life around in the past couple of months.
45:02And tonight, he had a well-laid-out plan.
45:06Could be the biggest night in his whole career.
45:09Now it seems to be caving in around him.
45:14regardless of what you may think of Chris Candido,
45:29we all want to see him compete in extreme championship wrestling.
45:35And this, quite frankly, is very hard to watch.
46:05What the hell is he doing?
46:11Why would Taz do this?
46:14Taz suffered a broken neck.
46:16He knows what it's like.
46:19How could any human being be so completely devoid of compassion?
46:25How could any one man be so good?
46:28He's choking him out.
46:29He's got the cut to Hajime on Candida.
46:32Why, Taz?
46:33Why, Taz?
46:35Whoa!
46:36All 10.
46:42Look at what happens.
46:44Big move.
46:45Big 10.
46:46Sama.
46:48B-1-2.
