The show begins with Jason telling The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) that they have to leave as The Sandman is drunk, crazy and smacking police officers with his Singapore cane. Rhino shows up and says he will take the cane and shove it so far up his ass that he will have to cut his head off just to pull it back out. Storm and Dawn Marie leave, but Justin Credible sticks with Rhino. Jason, on the other hand, still wants to leave.
Raven is in the locker room bathroom...almost. Turns out, it is "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer dressed like Raven. He says Raven wants to hide behind tattoos and piercings, and tells him that life sucks and to take it on the chin. He asks Raven if he wants to destroy him and if he cares about his body, and asks Raven what he can do to him that hasn't been done before. He smacks his head into a metal panel in the wall repeately as he asks Raven if he wants to beat him, and busts himself open as he says he and Raven are bound by something stronger than love or hate: blood. He tells Raven to do the right thing.
Before the next match, Steve Corino says there are a lot of things in ECW that make him sick, but what makes him most sick is people who cry, whine, and are scared of wrestling hurt. He says he has been wrestling with a broken appendix for nine months now, and just because Jerry Lynn has a few bruised ribs, he cannot wrestle much anymore. Corino tells Jerry Lynn to get "his crippled ass" in the ring so he can end his career for good. Lynn runs into the ring, and the match begins.
Jerry Lynn beats Steve Corino, then Tajiri gets in the ring. Tariji and Lynn brawl, then Tajiri spits green mist into Lynn's face and Jack Victory holds Lynn down so that Tajiri can kick Lynn in his bruised ribs. Victory and Tajiri run away after Super Crazy runs into the ring, but a blinded Lynn punches at Tajiri, and he and Super Crazy brawl.
We see Cyrus on the phone. He hangs up when he sees the camera, and announces that at this time, ECW is happy with how Joey Styles is going, but that he cannot say the same about "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner. He says it is not how he looks or that he is 23 years old and has never paid a due in the wrestling business, but because he has heat with the boys and he gets himself over at the expense of the talent. He says that Gertner crossed the line after the incident with Taz after failing to back Joey Styles up when he got punked out on national television and "rolling around like a fat, hairy flounder" after being choked out by Taz. He says that the annoucners cannot fraternize with the talent, and he has no choice but to hold a meeting with creative and ask him to come to the office so they can discuss his future. He says that change is coming. We then see Gertner with a surprised look on his face, but Joey Styles tells him not to be paranoid as there is no creative department and that there is no office.
Tajiri beats Super Crazy. During the match, Tajiri inadvertently clotheslines referee Jim Molineaux, then Jerry Lynn runs into the ring and attacks Tajiri. Super Crazy attacks Jerry Lynn, but he falls victim to a cradle piledriver. Lynn leaves, then Tajiri hits a standing moonsault on Super Crazy for the win.
Rhino and Steve Corino are in the ring. Corino says that tonight, it is time for Rhino to go from being the best rookie that professional wrestling has ever seen to the next big thing in sports. Raven is seen watching what is going on from his dressing room before Corino calls out The Sandman.
We see Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney in the bathroom. Axl says November To Remember will not be one to remember for a lot of people anymore because they "knocked it out of their heads" when it comes to Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Skull, P.N. News), and says that when they put them through that table, they and New Jack will stand tall and prove that they are the most hardcore wrestlers in ECW. He says it felt good to see the blood come out of their bald heads, and it will feel even better when they wrap steel chair around them. As Axl is speaking, Da Baldies are hiding in the stalls, and they eventually blindside both men. Angel tells them and New Jack "Don't play a playa."
Rhyno vs. The Sandman ends in a no-contest. During the math, Jason and Justin Credible show up, and Justin hits Sandman with the Singapore cane. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer then shows up, but he falls victim to the numbers game. Raven is seen running from the dressing room to the ring, and he comes into the ring with a steel chair and takes out Justin Credible and Jack Victory before hitting Rhino with a steel chair. Raven then extends his hand to Dreamer, then The Sandman hits Raven with the Singapore cane. Dreamer has to hold The Sandman back, but The Sandman runs back in and he has to choke him out to get him to stop.
We hear from Raven, who tells "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer that he did the right thing, then asks why he let The Sandman beat him up. He says it just like when he came home from school with an A-minus at seven years old and his dad beat the crap out of it. He says he can still smell the beer on his breath as he says that it was not good enough. When he asked his mother why, she told him that he should be lucky that is all he does to him. Raven repeatedly says he did the right thing, and asks Dreamer why he let The Sandman beat him up, then repeatedly says he did the right thing.
