Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for January 21, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. Gertner insults Cyrus by calling him a schmuck, then Cyrus shows up. Cyrus tells the crowd they have heat with the office, and that nobody has more heat with the office than Gertner. He says that contrary to popular opinion, he has been in Gertner's corner since day one and wants him to be the best he can be. He has censored him, called him into the office for meetings, warned him publicly and privately both on TNN and in front of the boys, and tells him that the "dirty middle name" thing is not over and that he will have to be a little more creative, because the next time he ignores his authority, he will kick his fat ass. Joey Styles has to hold Gertner back from beating up Cyrus, and the crowd chants "Let him go!"

The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and Dawn Marie show up as Cyrus leaves and Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner are still in the ring. Justin says they are not ones to say "We told you so," but they told them so. They said they would become ECW World Tag Team Champions and make an impact. Tonight, the establishment wants them to defend the tag titles, but they are running the show and they will defend the titles here tonight. Suddenly, "Dastardly" Danny Doring, Electra and Roadkill show up. Doring tells The Impact Players they will not disappoint the people and that they will put the titles on the night against him and Roadkill. Storm asks who they think they are, and calls them "a couple of opening match guys" before saying the only thing main event about them is Electra's breasts. He asks them who they have beaten aside from no-talent, one-dimensional jobbers, and says beating them takes them to mid-card, and if they can beat a mid-card team, only then will they consider having a match with them. Until then, Doring and Roadkill (whom Storm calls a "newly-elevated mid-card team") will face a "newly demoted mid-card team" in "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Raven. Dreamer and Raven run into the ring, with Dreamer carrying a steel chair, and they have a match.

"Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill beat "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Raven. During the match, Francince confronts Electra, but Dawn Marie runs into the ring and hits Francine in the back of the head with a foreign object. Raven then carries Francine to the back and is not seen for the rest of the match. Later on in the match, Rhino, Jack Victory and Steve Corino run into the ring, and Rhino hits Dreamer with a piledriver. Doring hits a top rope leg drop for the win. After the match, Jack Victory and Steve Corino take the boots to Dreamer, and Corino knocks referee John Finegan out of the ring. Corino and Victory are still attacking Dreamer when "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes comes out of the road, gets in the ring, and beats them both up. Rhino then gets back in the ring and takes Dusty down, and he, Corino and Victory take the boots to him until The Sandman arrives. Rhino tries to gore the Sandman and runs into the ring post, and THe Sandman strikes Rhino with his Singapore cane.

Super Crazy beats Tajiri in a violent Mexican Deathmatch.

Mike Awesome and Judge Jeff Jones are in the ring. Awesome says he is sure everyone saw him kick Spike Dudley's ass on pay-per-view last week, and he is sure everyone saw him knock the teeth of Spike's girlfriend right down her throat. After saying "Fuck you, Paul," He says he is the most awesome athlete in sports today and the most awesome wrestler in the business today. The crowd starts chanting for Rob Van Dam. He holds the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, which is the only title that matters in wrestling today and makes him "the whole fuckin' show." Rob Van Dam shows up along with Bill Alfonso, and RVD tells Awesome to listen to what he is thinking as he is confusing his fans with "that nonsense." He says that Awesome is a "big motherfucker" and a great champion, but no matter how good his ass kickings are, Awesome is only part of the show while he is the whole fuckin' show. Awesome sees nothing but "a puny little punk-ass Television title" around RVD's waist, while he is the heavyweight champion of the world. He lays his belt on the mat, and dares RVD to take it from him. RVD says it's about 4:20 right now, and he's got some time to burn, so they might as well do it right now. Before the match can begin, the lights go out. WHen they come back on, Sabu is in the ring with a steel chair. Awesome says something to Sabu, then the crowd chants "three-way dance." Awesome says he'll take both RVD and Sabu right now. Sabu then suddenly throws a steel chair into RVD's face, then lays another one down so that Awesome can hit RVD with an Awesome Bomb on it. Sabu then hits RVD with the triple jump moonsault followed by the Arabian Facebuster, then he knocks Bill Alfonso out on a table with a right hand before putting Alfonso through it. Spike Dudley gets in the ring and fights Awesome, but Sabu nails Spike from behind and Spike falls victim to an Awesome Bomb. Awesome and Sabu then set up a table in the middle of the ring, then Awesome and Sabu both go up top and send RVD through the table to end the show.
