00:00Ladies and gentlemen, you're watching a little bit of history.
00:04Because tonight is the night that The Network and
00:09myself will hand the ECW television title to Rhyno.
00:14He can't do that, what kind of precedent does that set?
00:23Why are you booing?
00:26When you really come to think of it, it's only fair.
00:29He was the last man in the ring with Rob Van Dam.
00:35He's been destroying people left and
00:38right and ratings are through the roof for Rhyno.
00:42So tonight, and this is the part that I'm really gonna like.
00:47Tonight, I'm gonna have the ECW television title brought out so
00:52I can hand it to Rhyno.
00:55And here's the part that's really gonna get you, this is the best.
00:58The man who will bring me the title, let's see, who could it be?
01:06Well, well, well, Paul Heyman.
01:08Paul Heyman, the TNN-ECW relationship.
01:14For once in your miserable six and a half years.
01:17It's about to explode right here, right now.
01:19As the head of the ship of ECW, do something useful.
01:23Bring me the ECW TV title so the network can put it on Rhyno.
01:30And Paul, bring me a coffee while you're at it.
01:35Ladies and gentlemen, Paul Heyman.
01:38Paul, Paul, where's my coffee?
01:45Where's my coffee, Paul?
01:47I knew a year ago when I joined this company.
01:51One day, one day, Paul, we'd find ourselves in a little role reversal here.
01:57One day, you'd be doing what I say.
02:01What's the matter, Paul?
02:03Your whole corporate rebel image disappearing before your eyes, huh?
02:09Come on, Paul, what's the matter?
02:13Come on, you don't wanna sell that damn out?
02:16I want you to sell Rob that damn out.
02:20Come on, Paul, you're not the corporate rebel now.
02:23You're gonna bend over for the network in front of everyone on TNN.
02:30Come on, Paul, I'm gonna be here to see it.
02:32You're gonna bend over for me, and you're gonna do what I say.
02:37And you're gonna sell out your precious little Rob Van Dam.
02:41And I'm gonna love it.
02:45Come on, Paul, give it to me.
02:48Give it to me, Paul.
02:50Give it to me, Paul.
02:53Give it to me, Paul.
02:55I want it.
02:56Give it to me.
02:57Give it to me, you son of a bitch.
02:59Give it to me.
03:00I want it.
03:02Give it to me.
03:03Give it to me.
03:05Paulie and Nick Cyrus.
03:08Rhino goes for Paul.
03:10Cyrus stomping Paulie.
03:12The network is kicking the crap out of ECW.
03:22It's the Sandman.
03:33We are here in Milwaukee.
03:37The network trying to take the world television title away from ECW.
03:43Cyrus running the belt off of Van Dam in a real release of Rhino.
03:49Paulie gets Cyrus.
03:51Rhino towards Paulie.
03:53Cyrus is on top of Paulie.
03:55And now here comes the Sandman.
03:58The Sandman is here to defend ECW.
04:03Rhino, Sandman, one on one.
04:07Oh, my god.
04:19We are in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
04:22ECW on TMA.
04:25Once again, the original hardcore icon, the Sandman,
04:32finds himself face to face with the man monster, Rhino.
04:37The Sandman who has been to every brewery in Milwaukee
04:42and had ample samples.
04:44And while I was in the back, keeping the board and Sterling
04:48uptight and shocked, he had a decent six-pack.
04:51There.
04:52He's dangerous today, Jerry.
05:02The Sandman and Rhino, one on one, right here, right now.
05:14ECW on TNN from Milwaukee.
05:21Rhino is the man that TNN wants as ECW world television champion.
05:32Rhino accompanied by Jack McQueen and Steve Torino.
05:36Here comes senior official, Jim Holland.
06:02This is going to be an old-fashioned, knockdown,
06:18drag-out, extreme fight.
06:21It's ECW versus the network.
06:26Torino in victory.
06:29Here comes the Sandman.
06:33And already the Sandman at a disadvantage as Rhino,
06:38TNN's hand-picked successor to Ralph Van Dam
06:43as the ECW world television champion,
06:46throws the Sandman to the outside.
06:52The Sandman now setting up Rhino and climbing the turnbuckle.
06:59The rolling rock.
07:01I thought it was a Heineken Conrada.
07:03Whatever.
07:06Jack Victory has the Sandman.
07:08Jack Victory takes a right-hand right in the face.
07:12White Russian leg sweep.
07:14Torino to the outside.
07:19It's to Jerry.
07:21Green mist.
07:23Green mist.
07:25Green mist.
07:28The Sandman is down.
07:30He's down.
07:33The Sandman's in trouble now.
07:39Rhino throws the Sandman through the table.
07:48What the hell is that?
07:51Super crazy.
07:54Dropkicks Rhino and to Jerry.
07:59Torino and Jack Victory down.
08:04Super crazy has saved the Sandman.
08:07He stepped right into the line of fire.
08:10Rhino was gonna kill the Sandman.
08:13Super crazy saved Sandman's fight.
08:18Ralph Van Dam, you're next.

10:48Hello, everyone, and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV
10:51from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
10:53I'm Joey Styles, and the big news
10:55coming out of that matchup is not just
10:57that Super Crazy came to the aid of the Sandman.
11:00It's what Rhino said.
11:02He is claiming responsibility
11:04for breaking Rob Van Dam's leg.
11:07Rob Van Dam has said publicly he bears no ill will.
11:10No malice towards Rhino.
11:12It was Rhino he happened to be in the ring with
11:14when he broke his leg.
11:16Rhino is pushing RBD's buttons.
11:18He is looking to elicit a response from Rob Van Dam,
11:21and that is going to happen sooner or later.
11:24Tonight on Hardcore TV, we take a look
11:26at the Dreamer, Raven, Francine Triangle.
11:29The Impact players continue to make an impact
11:31as World Tag Team Champions,
11:33and Angel, the Kingpin of the Baldies,
11:35goes one-on-one with Masato Tanaka.
11:41Lucy Andresen.
11:47And his dangerous alliance.

11:59here at the Sold Out Rave in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
12:03Masato Tanaka.
12:19Lucy Andresen.
12:22What a rivalry.
12:34Oh my God!
12:47Ladies and gentlemen,
12:49I have made a very important discovery.
13:00I...
13:03Obviously not dry-cleaning.
13:06And the fans really getting on the case
13:08of Lou E. Dangerously here in Milwaukee.
13:14I have figured out
13:16why the Green Bay Packers
13:18have gone from Super Bowl champions
13:21to last place losers.
13:24I just got off the phone
13:26with your old coach, Ray Rhodes.
13:30And he said,
13:32Brett Favre is nothing but a pill-popping,
13:36alcoholic piece of trash.
13:44Just like H.
13:46And every one of you ladies and gentlemen,
13:49just like H.
13:51And every one of you losers in Milwaukee.
13:59And I can make that assessment
14:01because my name just happens to be...
14:11Lou E. Dangerously.
14:20And tonight,
14:22I present to you
14:24first, beautiful
14:26Billy Wiles.

19:14Chetty grasping at his elbow.

19:22Beautiful Billy mutton chop sidewards
19:24and all questioning the count.
19:26Senior official Jim Molyneux.
19:28What's going on with that count?
19:30Chetty puts on the break.
19:32And that kick came out of absolutely no way.

21:58Go behind by Nova.
22:00Cell phone to the back of the head.
22:03The Anderson spine buster.
22:12A big win for the Dangerous Alliance here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
22:17Quite frankly, Chetty and Nova had the beat.
22:20And it's not been for Louie Dangerously and his cell phone.
22:26He would have gotten the short end of the stick.
22:28They stole a victory from Nova and Chetty here on ECW Hardcore.
22:34He would have gotten the short end of the stick.
22:36They stole a victory from Nova and Chetty here on ECW Hardcore TV.
22:42That sucks.
22:48With this being the first time that we are in Milwaukee,
22:53I need to ask a couple of questions.
23:05Is this WCW's country?
23:17Is this WWF country?
23:24So by the reaction, this must be ECW country.
23:47So this being the first time that we're here,
23:51enough of the soap opera.
23:53Let's finish it right here and now in Milwaukee.
23:57Raven, get your ass out here.
24:09That's not Raven's music.
24:11And that's not Raven.
24:13Although she's as close to Raven, perhaps, as you can guess.
24:21I guess there was no implication in that sentence either.
24:24None at all.
24:34I wonder if she's got any implications.
24:45Or augmentations.
24:51Well, apparently the Queen of Extreme Francine has something to say herself.
25:01And I'm all ears.
25:04Tommy, I know what you're trying to do.
25:12You're trying to defend my honor.
25:16You're trying to defend my honor.
25:19You're trying to protect me.
25:22And that's nice and all, but I did see the tape.
25:28Raven didn't DDT me on purpose.
25:31It was an accident.
25:34He was blinded.
25:36He grabbed the first person he seen.
25:40It was an accident, Tommy, okay?
25:46Tommy, why don't you drop your attitude, okay?
25:51You know what your problem is?
25:53You're not motivated.
25:55You're not focused, Tommy.
25:58Do you know what I've done for this company?
26:02What I've done.
26:04I've managed the World Heavyweight Champion.
26:08I've managed the World Television Champion.
26:11I've managed the World Tag Team Champion.
26:15And, Tommy, I even got you to your first Tag Team Championship.
26:22What is it that time of the month?
26:45I think we're about to find out.
27:16You are so helpless.
27:19Chill out, Dreamer.
27:21Hey, bro, it just looks like there's a hell of a fight going on.
27:25And quite frankly, bro, we're just here to watch.
27:34So if you want to fight, you better find your fat ass a partner.
27:39Because we'll give you a Tag Team title shot.
27:42Because we like kicking your ass, Dreamer.
27:44Find yourself a partner.
27:48I don't need to look very far,
27:50because there's about 3,000 sick hardcore bastards right out here
27:54who'd be my partner.
28:00So I'll pick any person in this audience to be my partner.
28:05Go ahead, Joey. You're his buddy.
28:12So you guys look like a couple of pussies,
28:15because you ain't tough enough to fight anyone from Milwaukee.
28:24Who wants to be my partner? I'll come out and pick you.
28:28Hey, Thomas.
28:33Hello, Thomas.
28:36Why don't you put on Brandi's skirt?
28:39Because it's obvious she wears the pants in this relationship.
28:50You want to have a big match, you bitch?
28:52You know what I'm going to do?
28:56You want a match?
28:57Tonight, it's going to be for the titles.
29:00It's the Impact Players versus Tommy Dreamer...
29:05...and Raven!
29:08What?
29:09It looks like Francine is a burnt mouthpiece for Raven.
29:17Dreamer set for the ride.
29:19Back body drop, what elevation on Dreamer,
29:22who's competing with two herniated discs in his back.
29:26Francine choosing Raven as Tommy Dreamer's tag team partner?
29:31She's been choosing Raven a month.
29:39And Raven is going to accept Francine's invitation?
29:43And you're surprised?
29:45I thought the Dreamer-Raven partnership was over.
29:49He's not even dressed to wrestle.
29:55Raven hammering the Impact Player.
30:02There it is, the Stuntman!
30:04The Bowery Thunderclower!
30:06Fight with you all I like it here!
30:08Landstorm superkicks Just Incredible!
30:11Even flow DDT on Landstorm!
30:15Just Incredible makes the save!
30:17We almost saw Dreamer and Raven crown tag team champions again!
30:23There it is, that's incredible!
30:26The Tombstone!
30:28Tommy Dreamer saves Raven!
30:30And you can bet, he didn't do it for Raven.
30:33He wants that belt around his waist again.
30:37What in the hell?
30:48Oh my God!
30:51Spicoli driver from the top row of the table!
30:56Cover!
30:58Daughtry makes the save!
31:03And here comes Francine!
31:05It's my favorite part of the show!
31:07Get back! Get back!
31:11The World Tag Team titles are on the line here!
31:15It's that guy again!
31:17That guy? He's a man of the floor.
31:20Yeah, but who does he worship?
31:23Here comes the Bronco Buster!
31:28But Dawn Marie got her feet up!
31:30Francine traveling, full speed leap for the ashes!
31:33Took Dawn Marie's feet right in her...
31:36Look at that guy, Joey! Look what that guy's doing!
31:41He's handing powder to Raven!
31:43Raven's got powder!
31:45Dreamer's gonna pile drive Dawn Marie!
31:53Raven missed Lance Storm!
31:55He blinded Tommy Dreamer!
31:59DDT on Francine again!
32:03This time Tommy Dreamer was blinded by Raven!
32:10Raven was aiming for Lance Storm!
32:15And now Raven is tending to Francine!
32:19That means Dreamer's on his own!
32:23Close line in the corner!
32:25And an elbow to the chuck!
32:28It's ironic, isn't it?
32:30Dreamer started this match on his own,
32:33and that's how he's gonna finish it up!
32:37Just Incredible misses the baseball slide!
32:43Dreamer was going for the DDT!
32:45Just Incredible with the belt!
32:48Dreamer was going for the DDT!
32:50Just Incredible with the belt!
32:53Dreamer kicks out!
32:57Raven is tending to Francine!
32:59Tommy Dreamer challenging for the World Tag Team title belt
33:03all by himself!
33:06And that guy left with Raven!
33:09Dreamer with the Spinebuster Slam!
33:14Spinning heel kick from the top by Lance Storm!
33:17Did that ever find Lamar?
33:25Lance Storm throwing down the steel chair!
33:27This is what they did to Raven in Tallahassee!
33:30Dreamer laid out!
34:01To the address on your screen or shop now at ecwwrestling.com
34:08The new controversial ECW magazine with Sammo on the cover is on newsstands now!
34:14Now far be it from me to stir the pot,
34:18but there's a situation here I'd like to dive into.
34:23Now, when Raven DDT'd Francine,
34:27he had powder in his eyes.
34:31When Dreamer DDT'd Francine,
34:34he had fire in his eyes.
34:39Things are starting to get very, very deep.
34:58Oh, my!
35:16What did he say?
35:18This I understand.
35:20Tanaka is taking on the Maldives all by himself here tonight
35:25in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!
35:37Down goes Angel!
35:38We've got to take a break!
35:39Don't go away!
35:44Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
35:49Masato Tanaka, former ECW World Heavyweight Champion
35:54and former ECW World Tag Team Champion
35:57taking on the Maldives all by himself.
36:01Got the steel chip!
36:05Drives it into the side of the head of Angel,
36:09the kingpin of the street gang known as the Maldives!
36:14DeVito fresh off of his hand surgery
36:17courtesy of New Jack attacks Tanaka!
36:25Tanaka is being mugged!
36:33Angel throws Tanaka back in!
36:44Angel hooks both arms!
36:46Overhead belly-to-belly nicely done!
36:54Two-count only for the kingpin of the Maldives!
37:02Tanaka now being set up by Angel!
37:14They're scheduled to be a one-on-one matchup
37:16between Angel and Tanaka,
37:17but DeVito has interfered throughout the matchup
37:20as is always the case with the Maldives
37:23when you sign on to wrestle one of them,
37:25you're pretty much in a handicap match
37:27against two or three of them.
37:37Angel now setting up the table
37:39that was slid into the ring to him by DeVito.
37:42This does not bode well for Masato Tanaka.
37:46He's going for the superplex, but Tanaka blocks it!
37:53Tornado DDT into the edge of the table!
37:57It didn't crack!
37:58It crumbled underneath Angel's head!
38:05That should be all for Angel.
38:07Tanaka setting up what's left of that table,
38:09the remnants being stood up in the corner.
38:24Belly-to-back suplex for the table!
38:29Angel now has a chance to get a rematch
38:31against the Maldives.
38:33Belly-to-back suplex for the table!
38:39Angel is taking a hellacious beating
38:42at the hands of former ECW World Heavyweight Champion
38:45Masato Tanaka, cover!
38:49And DeVito breaks up the count.
38:55And Tanaka has had enough of DeVito as well,
39:00but Angel from behind with the heavy forearm
39:03to the back of the neck of Masato Tanaka.
39:11Vertical suplex takes Tanaka over.
39:19Angel shouting directions to DeVito.
39:22The mouthpiece of the Maldives.
39:25DeVito now with the steel chair.
39:29Reverse, so Angel takes the chair to the head.
39:32There's the roaring elbow!
39:34And Tanaka gets the duke!
39:36Tanaka wins it!
39:45DeVito with the steel chair!
39:48Yuranouchi! Yuranouchi on Tanaka!
39:53Tanaka may have won the battle,
39:55but he's going to lose the war
39:57to the Maldives here tonight in Milwaukee.
40:04Or is he?
40:10Because here comes the reinforcement!
40:28The original gangster New Jack is here!
40:32It's here! It's New Jack!
40:43New Jack needed surgery on his ankles
40:47as a result of an attack by the Maldives.
40:58New Jack's moving much slower than he usually does,
41:02but who can blame him on a bad foot?
41:05Nevertheless,
41:07Black Angel and all of New Jack
41:10with a garbage can full of weapons,
41:13is coming for Angel.
41:16But he gets caught.
41:19New Jack can't really move around too well on that ankle,
41:22and he got caught by Angel.
41:28And the Maldives, they win the war here tonight after all!
41:38Crush broken over the back of Angel!
41:42Get up, Mr. Kong, don't be taking the job
41:44From the sucker in the cone, he's Tom, he's true
41:46You can't run for cover when every man's your brother
41:49Whatever you call him, there's always another
41:51Better watch your back, look into the gun
41:55He ain't gonna let you stop
41:57You got this, Kong, and you get it
42:01Get up, Mr. Kong, don't be taking the job
42:04Headbutt on Angel!
42:06When you get out of bed, there's no surprise
42:08When I'm out of dials, I don't really cry
42:10When you get out of bed, there's no cry
42:15Tanaka now back in the ring!
42:17It's two on two!
42:19Masato Tanaka and the original gangster New Jack
42:23slugging it out with the Maldives!
42:27Angel upside down into the ironing board!
42:31Guess that means New Jack's cleaning house!
42:38Tobino has been busted open!
42:55New Jack picking his shot!
43:01And the Maldives are finally getting there!
43:09New Jack's got a two-by-four!
43:21Oh my God!
43:23Oh my God!
43:37The Maldives are trying to exclude McKinnon
43:40out of the ring fast enough!
43:51Wow!
43:53Now that's DCW!
