Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for December 17, 1999

James Storm says he cannot believe that he and Justin Credible have to beat Chris Candido and Rhino to earn a title shot. It is not that they cannot beat them; it is that they should not have to. Since they do, Candido and Rhino will be victimized, and Tammy Lynn Sytch will have a reason to piss and moan. They're not looking past them; they're looking through them. Justin proclaims that at Guilty As Charged on January 9th, they will claim their destiny and become ECW World Tag Team Champions.

Backstage, Chris Chetti tells Nova that he is coming back tonight. Nova tells him to forget about it, as his back is nowhere near 100%, and asks him if he wants to be like The Dynamite Kid, Ricky Steamboat or "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, and tells him that the man he has handpicked for his partner is wrestling in his place tonight. Chetti tells his replacement he has one shot and one shot only, and if he screws Nova over, he will break his neck. He tells him he is with him. Chetti turns around to leave, asks if his replacement is checking out his ass, then says he can't blame him because his looks would turn a straight man gay. Chetti leaves, then Nova tells the guy that Chetti was dropped a little too hard on his head in wrestling school and his family is a little bit crazy.

Da Baldies (Tony DeVito, Angel, Vic Grimes) are in the ring. Tony DeVito says they are here tonight to stake their claim, and now the streets of Virginia belong to Da Baldies. He then says that if anybody in the back wants to fight for their turf, they will have to go through them, or more specifically, through him. The challenge is answered by none other than New Jack.

New Jack beats Tony DeVito. After the match, New Jack grabs a fork. He is about to drive it into DeVito's skull when Vic Grimes and Angel beat up New Jack from behind. Angel then staples New Jack's ear with a staple gun.

Tony DeVito issues another open challenge against Da Baldies for their torch. That challenge is answered by Mike Awesome.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Vic Grimes after putting Grimes through a table. "Judge" Jeff Jones puts Mike Awesome on a pedestal, then Spike Dudley shows up, kicks Awesome in the groin, hits him with the Acid Drop and leaves.

We are in the locker room. "Dastardly" Danny Doring says that tonight, he will cash in on the fringe benefits of being a professional wrestler. He then talks about his favorite subject: him. That gets cut short when he walks in on Roadkill, then Francine shows up wondering if he and Roadkill are done so she can take a shower. Elektra comes out and threatens to cut the "Danaconda" down to a garden snake if she ever catches him talking to another woman again.

Super Calo vs. Ikuto Hidaka vs. Tom Marquez ends with Sabu showing up with Bill Alfonso and attacking all three men in the match with a crutch and a steel chair. He eventually hits all three men with a springboard leg drop through a table.

The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) beat Chris Candido and Rhino to face Raven and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer for the ECW World Tag Team Championships at Guilty As Charged after Lance Storm leaps over a Gore by Rhino, who then charges into Chris Candido. After the match, Storm says The Impact Players have proved that they cannot be denied and that they are the next tag team champions. He also says it cannot be denied that Justin Credible is the hardcore icon. The Sandman shows up through the crowd, then "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason steps up to The Sandman as The Impact Players leave. Jason gets caned, but Justin Credible sneaks up on Sandman from behind and smacks him in the back with a Singapore cane of his own. Lance Storm sets up a table, but Sandman ducks a cane shot and Justin hits Storm instead. After a White Russian Leg Sweep on Storm, Rhino shows up and Gores The Sandman through a table.

Raven asks someone to understand that he is trying so hard to do the right thing, and he can't go through it again. He says he cannot fight "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer again, as it took so much out of him the first time, and now he is weak. He says Dreamer is too strong, and he cannot do it again. He says the funny thing is that he would lure Dreamer to his side, but Dreamer lured him to his. He wants to do the right thing and he is trying. He will be at Guilty As Charged, and they will get rid of The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), and he wants him to understand that he will be in his corner. We then see that he is talking to Francine, who replies "I understand. I really do."
