Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for March 31, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. After Gertner tells the crowd that "ECW carries TNN" and that TNN would be "shitty" without them, Cyrus can be heard saying "Excuse me." Gertner responds, "I swear on my life, if he comes out here, I'll beat the piss out of him!" Styles tells Gertner "You can have what I leave behind!" Cyrus shows up with Tajiri, and the crowd chants "We want Sandman!" Cyrus says he is the man who brings the fans Rollerjam and calls himself "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n Bowl-ah" before warning Gertner not to soil himself as he can let Tajiri loose at the drop of a pin. Cyrus then says the network has a situation with Super Crazy, and says he has been frustrated by letting the talent handle network business. This leads to a "Super Crazy" chant from the crowd. He says that a talent has not gotten the job done, so tonight, he and the network take control. After he says that he can hold his own in the ring, he announces he will face Super Crazy in a wrestling match and restore the ECW World Television Championship to the network because "idiots like Tajiri" are not getting the job done. Tajiri takes offense to that comment, and Cyrus says something to him in Japanese before threatening to revoke his work visa and send him back to jobbing to Abdullah the Butcher in Big Japan and accusing Gertner and Styles of wanting him deported. Tajiri turns back towards Styles and Gertner, then Cyrus says that the network takes control and that he will don the tights and face Super Crazy for the World Television title.

We hear from Danny Doring and Roadkill, who calls out The New Dangerous Alliance (C.W. Anderson and Billy Wiles), saying they will get their hands on them. As for Elektra, Doring calls her "a used Kleenex in the peep show booth of life." All of a sudden, Angel shows up and asks where "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer, as he wants to collect on the hit on Dreamer. Angel the accuses Doring of stepping up to him, and Doring says he has no problem with Angel before telling Angel he should be more concerned about having a problem with him. Doring then punches Angel, and Tony DeVito jumps in, immediately starting a tag team brawl. Grimes also shows up with a trash can which soon meets the back of Roadkill, and Da Baldies (Angel, DeVito, Grimes) quickly come out on top in the brawl.

Tajiri beats Little Guido.

We hear from Mike Awesome and "Judge" Jeff Jones. Jones says that Awesome's fist is like a judge's gavel, and when one is in contempt of Jones' court, Awesome will keep pounding. Awesome says he is ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and anyone who tries to take the title away from him is taking money out of his pocket. Awesome also says he has bled across four continents for the title, and nobody will take it away from him as it is the only belt in the world that matters today.

We see the word "Hell" written next to the first floor button on an elevator. When the elevator door opens, we see The Sinister Minsiter, who uses tarot cards to mention various ECW wrestlers and make a swipe at Diamond Dallas Page (saying that if he doesn't bring Kimberly, they won't book him). When The Sinister Minister laughs, Mikey Whipwreck is then seen underneath the table laughing with him.

Before the next match, Danny Doring and Roadkill proposes a Kansas City Street Fight against Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes). Angel tells Doring and Roadkill that they don't have the props or the pull to face them, and tells them that they don't have a second partner. Doring then says he has a friend in the back who is hardcore, has been in one of these street fights before and is willing to be in another one. That friend is "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer.

Danny Doring, Roadkill and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beat Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes).

Cyrus shows up. He says it is now the time that the network takes control as Super Crazy is seen in the ring. He then says he is ready to beat Super Crazy for the ECW World Television Championship, but nobody in television goes by stipulations. Cyrus then announces that instead of him facing Super Crazy, it will be Rhino.

Super Crazy retains the ECW World Television Championship against Rhino following a Sunset Flip powerbomb into a table. After the match, Steve Corino attacks Super Crazy, and Cyrus joins in while Jack Victory pulls out a few tables. The Sandman shows up from out of the crowd and canes Corino and Jack Victory, but the numbers game quickly takes over and Rhino plows Super Crazy into The Sandman, sending both men through a table in the corner. Cyrus then directs traffic as Corino and Jack Victory hold down The Sandman so that Rhino can hit him with The Sandman's Singapore cane. Rhino then drinks The Sandman's beer before spitting and pouring it on Sandman. Cyrus then says nobody stands up to the network.
