Joey Styles welcomes everyone to the show. He says there are no paid-off judges tonight, and that Don King is barred from the building.
Super Crazy beats Yoshihiro Tajiri.
Bill Alfonso asks Tazz if he remembers what it was like to have him as a manager, then tells Tazz he is a man alone. He says that if Sabu gets hurt, he will fix him back up, and Sabu will kick his ass. Meanwhile, Rob Van Dam faces Jerry Lynn with the ECW World Television Championship on the line. All the while, Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso have to kiss up to Sabu, who threatens to beat them down if they do not say he is 100% that Tazz is not a challenge, and that it doesn't matter who RVD defends the TV title against. Alfonso has to keep them apart when RVD asks how he will carry all five belts "and his partner, too" when Sabu wins the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and unifies it with the FTW title.
Before the next match, Steve Corino says he does need steroids to look good or wrestle in foreign lands for people to respect him. He demands that somebody from the back so he can show how aerial he is and show the fans how hardcore he is. That challenge is answered by Balls Mahoney, who shows up with Axl Rotten.
Balls Mahoney beats Steve Corino with the steel chair.
Little Guido beats Antifaz del Norte with the Sicilian Crab. After the match, Guido is confronted by Tracy Smothers and "The Big Don" Tommy Rich, and Smothers punches Guido when he isn't looking. Big Sal E. Graziano checks on Little Guido, and Tommy Rich hits Big Sal in the back with the Italian flag only for it to have no effect. Guido scares Smothers and Rich out of the ring and to the back.
Rob Van Dam vs. Jerry Lynn ends in a time-limit draw. Referee John Finegan wants to award the match - and the ECW World Television Championship - to Jerry Lynn, but Jerry Lynn wants a decisive pinfall and wants to beat RVD so the match does not end in controversy. He asks for five more minutes, as does the crowd, and the match proceeds to go five more minutes. Rob Van Dam beats Jerry Lynn the second time around with a Van Daminator followed by a Five Star Frog Splash, and retains the ECW World Television Championship. Both men shake hands after the match.
In footage from earlier today, adult film star Jasmin St. Clair declares herself the new queen of wrestling. Suddenly, Francine shows up, and Jasmin shoves her by the face. Francine hits Jasmin St. Clair with a three-quarters seated jawbreaker before pretending to seduce Lance Wright and hitting him with a low blow.
Mustafa vs. New Jack ends with New Jack putting Mustafa through a table with a splash from 20 feet high on a balcony. ECW security has to help New Jack to the ring, while medical staff have to do the thing for Mustafa. New Jack then drapes his arm over Mustafa to get the pinfall and the win. After the match, The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) attack New Jack while Sign Guy Dudley and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner eggs them on. As the locker room checks on New Jack, Gertner brags about his sexual prowess and about beating the crap out of New Jack. Buh Buh Ray says New Jack is old news, threatens to beat the crowd up like New Jack got beat up, and says it is typical of ECW to not have a tag team worthy of stepping into the ring with them. He lays down another open challenge to any two men in the back "with the guts enough and the nuts enough" to get in the ring and feel the wrath of 3D. The challenge is answered by Spike Dudley and Nova.
The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) destroy Nova and Spike Dudley. At one point, several men check on Nova when he is injured, and ring announcer Bob Ortiz falls victim to a Dudley Death Drop. Buh Buh Ray says there is nobody left, and says he and D-Von have destroyed everybody's heroes and that everyone has fallen victim to the Dudley Death Drop. He goes on to call everyone in the crowd "white trash" and "nothing but people from New Jersey with no heart." Since there is nobody in the back, maybe there are some people in the arena whou would like a shot at The Dudley Boyz. Nobody comes out of the crowd, and asks if there is any man tough enough to get in the ring with them. Suddenly, Judge Jeff Jones comes out with a stretcher...and brings out Sid. Buh Buh Ray says to Sid "What do you think, you big dumb blonde faggot? We're afraid of you? What do you think, Sid? You think you're the fuckin' man? You think you're such a psycho and you're so vicious?!?" D-Von then tries to stare down Sid and bumps into him, then shakes his hand. Sid grabs it and starts hurting his hand, then Buh Buh Ray hits him in the back with the microphone. It isn't long, however, before Buh Buh Ray and D-Von are both choke slammed simultanoeusly before D-Von falls victim to a powerbomb. Sid then places D-Von on the stretcher and chokes the life out of him before Spike Dudley gets back in the ring and fights off Buh Buh Ray and knocks D-Von off the stretcher, which Sid drops directly on D-Von. Spike then hits a low blow follwed by the Acid Drop on Buh Buh Ray for the win. Sid and Spike Dudley beat The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley), then Judge Jeff Jones sics Sid on Spike, who then gets powerbombed, once in the ring and again into a table off the entrance ramp. After Sid leaves, medical staff tend to Spike Dudley.
"The Franchise" Shane Douglas and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beat Justin Credible and Lance Storm after Francine introduces a ladder into the match before stopping Justin Credible from hitting Shane Douglas with a kendo stick and hitting him in the head with a roundhouse kick. After the match, Cyrus shows up, and this proves to be a distraction for Storm to hit Douglas and Dreamer from behind at the ramp while Cyrus puts his hands on Francine. Francine runs into the ring and is held down by Dawn Marie (who is passing herself off as Beulah McGillicutty), Jazz and Jason. Cyrus covers Francine's crotch with his jacket, then headbutts her in the gut.
Stephen Prazak interviews referee John Finegan. Finegan says that Jerry Lynn won against Rob Van Dam, but he and the crowd wanted five more minutes. He says that fans paid money to see a clear-cut winner, then Rob Van Dam shows up and says that Jerry Lynn is a great competitor and was at his finest tonight. Tonight, he was one of the two greatest athletes in the ring, and gives him his best matches now. He then challenges Jerry Lynn to face him for the ECW World Televison Championship at Hardcore Heaven if he feels he was ripped off by the decision. He says that Jerry Lynn is too worried about everyone getting their money's worth, but everyone gets their money's worth when they see him in the ring, before .
Hardcore Heaven comes live to pay-per-view on May 16th!
At the beginning of the match, Tazz proposed to Sabu that their match for the ECW World Heavyweight and FTW Championships be an Extreme Deathmatch where falls count anywhere in the building. Bill Alfonso tells Sabu not to consider this, but Sabu pushes him out of the way.
Taz beats Sabu with the Katahajime after busting his jaw open, putting him in a Dragon Suplex through a table and Bill Alfonso trying to throw the towel in to stop the match only for Sabu to throw the towel away, and unifies his ECW World Heavyweight Championship with Sabu's FTW Championship. After the match, Taz tells Sabu he gave him the fight of his life, as he has more respect for him every time they wrestle. He tells Sabu to get up and shake his hand, and he does.
We get a recap of the show to end the event.
