Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for September 24, 1999

Joey Styles welcomes everyone to ECW on TNN along with "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner, who replaces Cyrus. They then interview Francine and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer. Joey says he admires Dreamer and is amazed that he is still standing up. Gertner says that if Dreamer can't work, he should hang it up, and that Francine brings nothing to the table and that she is pure, chaste and "not a sack of silicone like [Francine]" who has seen 800 less hotel room ceilings: Miss Congeniality, who shows up with "Dastardly" Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill. Francine spears Miss Congeniality, immediately starting a catfight as Dreamer fights both Doring and Roadkill. Doring and Roadkill get the upper hand, but Raven runs in, hits an Evenflow DDT on Doring and wins the match for him and Dreamer to retain the ECW World Tag Team Championships.

After the show intro, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer calls Raven out, saying he does not have a lot of matches left. Raven shows up, gets on the apron, jumps off it and heads back to the back.

It is reported that Taz is no longer ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and the Masato Tanaka interview is replayed. Bits of the ECW World Heavyweight Championship match from Anarchy Rulz are replayed throughout the show.

Paul E. Heyman is seen holding Joey Styles back from beating the crap out of "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner, but when Gertner asks Styles is he has a hair stuck in his throat from kissing Paul E.'s ass, Styles has to hold Heyman back. (After the first match, Joey Styles is unable to speak due to the laryngitis that he had suffered before Anarchy Rulz, and Gertner has to do commentary for the rest of the show.)

Despite the interference from Big Sal E. Graziano, Super Crazy beats Little Guido. After the match, Big Sal attacks Super Crazy from behind, but Little Spike Dudley shows up and confronts Big Sal. He quickly makes work of Big Sal with a thumb to the eye, a low blow and an Acid Drop off Little Guido to beat Big Sal E. Graziano.

After the commercial break, Rob Van Dam attacks Justin Storm after ha and Lance Storm ahve attacked Jerry Lynn. Johnny Smith runs in and fights RVD, and the brawl quickly becomes 3-on-2 until the arena gets dark. When they come back on, Sabu is in the ring. He attacks The Impact Players (Storm, Credible, Smith). Sabu attacks Jerry Lynn and almost attacks RVD until Bill Alfonso stops him. Sabu then puts Justin Credible through a table. Numerous ECW wrestlers come out of the locker room to make this brawl even bigger, then New Jack shows up with a bunch of weapons and mutilates everyone.

The show ends with footage of Mike Awesome being declared the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion and Taz being given an emotional send-off from Anarchy Rulz.
