Bill Alfonso says everybody wants to know how he is going to handle the problems between Rob Van Dam and Sabu, and says there is a simple solution. All of a sudden, the dressing room door opens, and Francine calls for "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to get in the room as Raven is beating his head on the wall again. Dreamer runs in and tells Raven to stop, because he did the right thing. He tells Raven that he has come so far, and he cannot mess it up now.
Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner introduce everyone to the show. After a replay of the end of what happened at the end of last week's show, Steve Corino and Jack Victory are in the ring. Corino says what happened at the Limp Bizkit concert proved that hardcore wrestling is bad and hardcore music is even worse. He says there are a lot of great music groups out there, like The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Britney Spears (whom Corino calls his soon-to-be-girlfriend), calling it "real music" that is not generated for high school dropouts like the people in the crowd. He says there is one man who was stupid enough to start the hardcore revolution, and that man is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. The crowd chants for Dusty as he is seen in the back of the crowd. Corino says Paul Heyman might bleep it out now that he has mentioned his name, then thanks Dusty for "ruining every one of these people's lives," since 90% of them are probably drunk right now. Dusty leaves, but Corino says he is not done with him and then says he left his spine at the last place that he killed. Dusty Rhodes then stands at the aisle leading up to the ring. Joey Styles tells Dusty to stop, but Dusty tosses Jack Victory's wheelchair away. Corino says he is a big boy and that he has beat everybody in the locker room in the last year, and that he will not let "an old fossil" push him around. Dusty gets in the ring, and Corino tells him the business has changed. He says this is not 1985, and that Dusty is not the bull of the woods in his territory anymore. He says Dusty has made all these great phrases, and that he has nothing to say for himself right now as he is looking into the eyes of the future of professional wrestling. Corino says he has no respect for Dusty and never did, then he slaps him. Dusty respons by hitting Corino and Jack Victory with bionic elbows, then he slams Corino on the mat. Dusty dances around a little bit, then hits Corino with an elbow.
After the commercial break, the crowd is stil chanting for "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Dusty points at everyone in the crowd and bows.
Justin Credible says that when you are a master, it is not that hard to figure out. He tells The Sandman he is the only true master of the Singapore cane as well as the only true hardcore icon. He has beaten him once, and he will beat him again. This time, he will do it all by himself. He says it is not because he his partner does not want to help, and he does not want anybody's help. Lance Storm says that just because they stand together does not mean they cannot stand alone, as it is one more way to make an impact. Tonight, it will be at Sandman's expense, as being impact players is not just a name, it is who they are and what they do. Justin says it is not just a name, but a lifestyle, and dares The Sandman to come get some.
Spike Dudley quickly beats Uganda with a low blow followed by the Acid Drop.
Rob Van Dam says that when he and Sabu were partners and he was carrying Sabu for a tag team championship reign, he never liked sharing the ring with him. He knew then just like he knows now that the spotlight will shine bright on Van Dam, and he always has to shine in his light. He says sending him out of the ring injured was like a load being lifted off his shoulders, but he knows he will always come back. When he does, he will keep beating his ass and he will not take the World Television title away from him. He says there is a reason why he holds the Television title, as he is "the whole fuckin' show."
Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against 2 Cold Scorpio. At one point in the match, Jazz tries to save 2 Cold Scorpio from going through a table, and Scopio goes for a top rope drop kick. Both he and Jazz pin Awesome, but it only leads to a two-count.
Justin Credible and "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason are in the ring. Justin says there is a guy in ECW who walks around drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, and another guy in ECW with the nerve to carry around a Singapore cane just like his. However, there is ony one man in ECW with a big stick, and you are looking at him. Jason says that tonight, he personally made sure that there is only one cane in the locker room, and this is to get The Sandman in the ring. It becomes apparent that Jason has stolen The Sandman's Singapore cane, Sure enough, The Sandman shows up through the crowd with a broom.
Justin Credible beats The Sandman. During the match, Rhino runs into the ring and Gores both men through the timekeeper's table. When The Sandman goes for a White Russian Leg Sweep on Justin Credible and tries to get a steel chair out of his hands, Lance Storm runs in and hits a springboard drop kick on The Sandman to give Justin Credible the win. After the match, Lance Storm attacks The Sandman, but "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer goes after him while Francine and Dawn Marie have a catfight. Rhino runs back in and grabs Fracince, but Draemer hits him a steel chair. Lance Storm hits Dreamer with a springboard drop kick, then Justin Credible grabs the microphone and says that's not just the coolest, that's not just the best...that's Justin Credible.
