Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for June 2, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner wlecome the fans to tonight's show as Raven sits in the corner. Gertner says he does not have a line, to which the crowd chants "Bullshit, before Gertner reveals that he does have a line and a lewd nickname for tonight's show. Joey then proceeds to interview Raven as the crowd chants "You ain't shit!" Raven says imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and says Justin Credible stole his look, his girl and his title. He then says Justin called him on the phone two days ago and quoted one of his heroes: "There's a warning sign on the road ahead / there's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead / I don't feel like Satan, but I am to them / So I try to forget it any way I can." He then realized that Justin could never be him, because being called Satan bothers Justin while he enjoys it. Suddenly, Justin Credible and Dawn Marie show up, and Raven says "Get in the ring, bitch." When Dawn Marie tries to get in the ring, Raven then says "Not you...the bitch with the belt." This starts a brawl between Raven and Justin inside the ring, and after Raven sends Justin out of the ring, Dawn Marie gets in only for Raven to grab her. Dawn Marie hits Raven with a low blow before Justin strikes Raven with the Kendo Stick followed by That's Incredible. "The Innovator of Violence" then gets in the ring and chases Justin and Dawn Marie out of the ring and tries to fight Justin before security keeps both men and Dawn Marie separated while Raven is checked on in the ring by referees. Scotty Anton then gets in the ring alongside Cyrus and attacks Raven, and allows Cyrus to get the boots in on Raven as well. When referee H.C. Lowe tries to stop him, Cyrus chews him out, but when the ref says he is standing up to The Network, he gets beaten up before Anton puts him in the Sharpshooter. Cyrus then says he and Anton are here to give the fans "the clap," then he and Anton mockingly perform the American Males clap from WCW.

We hear from the Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Big Sal E. Graziano). Graziano says Mikey Whipwreck is dead, then Tony Mamaluke - formerly Tony Marinara in WCW - walks in only to get grabbed by Big Sal, saying he is in the wrong company and that he picked the wrong day to piss him off. When Mamaluke calls Little Guido "paisan," Guido takes offense to this, saying Mamaluke is a cheap rip-off of his Italian heritage. Mamaluke says he is "full-blooded," saying he never took anything from anybody. Guido decides to put Mamaluke's so-called full-blooded Italian heritage to the test and says "Let's see if you can handle it, paisan." Mamaluke then exercises with Guido's ropes after Guido leaves.

Kid Kash beats Grimes.

Backstage, Johnny Swinger is rubbing oil on himself when Simon Diamond shows up. Simon tells him they have a match tonight, then tells Mitch to turn off the fan. When Simon asks Swinger what he is doing, Swinger says he is posing for one of his biggest fans. Simon says he is the brains of the operation, but Swinger says his fan is blowing him. One of The Musketeers then show up and tries to fence with the fan, but Swinger tells him "Don't sing it, swing it!" before snapping his fingers and leaving with Mitch, who places a gold umbrella over his head as they leave. Simon Diamond wonders how he got into the mess he is in as The Prodigy and The Prodigette are both soaked in Johnny Swinger's oil.

Mikey Whipwreck beats Tony Mamaluke after Mamaluke lands on the back of his neck on the guardrail during a corkscrew dive from the top rope to the outside. After the match, Little Guido attacks Whipwreck, but Whipwreck counters a Tornado DDT into a Whippersnapper. Big Sal E. Graziano gets in the ring and grabs The Sinister Minister tries to blind Guido with a fireball, but Whipwreck throws powder into his eyes and shoves Mamaluke into Big Sal, who flattens Mamaluke with a sidewalk slam before throwing Mamaluke into the front row.

We hear from The Sinister Minster, who considers himself to be an expert on sinning. He says there are some sins he likes more than others, such as gluttony. He tells Big Sal E. Graziano is a glutton for punishment, as every time Mikey Whipwreck is within striking distance, there is a four-alarm fire, as Whipwreck has burned his face three times. He also says there are some sins that he refuses to grant absolution to, and one of them is stupidity, and says that Big Sal proved he is stupid for putting his hands on him. The Sinister Minsiter says Big Sal will learn the phrase "spontaneous human combustion" if he does it again, leading Whipwreck to say there is no such as spontaneous human combustion. The Sinister Minsiter then says "Liar, lair, pants on fire," before setting his pants on fire, then says Whipwreck not only gets spiritual guidance from him, but he also get "a fire lit under his ass."

We hear from ECW owner Paul Heyman, who takes the time to thank the fans for watching tonight's show. He says that the fans have to be fans to watch the show, as the network has not aired one commercial about their show and it is "their scheme of things." He says that in a few weeks, the network will give WWF owner and chairman Vince McMahon $100 million to replace ECW, and says that since ECW is not publicly funded like WWF or WCW, ECW survives and even thrives off the support of the fans, whom he thanks again. He then proceeds to shoot on TNN, saying ECW hates the network's guts for abandoning them, not supporting them, not advertising them and not having the balls to throw them off the air. He then dares the network to throw him off the air, saying he will break every rule they put in from of him until they do. He then tells TNN to spend the $100 million they get from Vince McMahon on attorneys, for the war has just begun.

"The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner takes the time to say hello to all of his executive friends at TNN who have been "incarcerated for smuggling underage farm animals across state lines for the purposes of sexual gratification" while being safe enough to pick the calves that didn't kick back. ECW owner Paul Heyman pops up and says "Are you ready to throw us off the air yet, pig fuckers?"

"The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes shows up just before the next match to brawl with Steve Corino with a bullrope.

The Sandman vs. Rhino for the ECW World Television Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, Jack Victory lays out "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, and The Sandman attacks Victory, Rhino and Steve Corino until the numbers game catches up to him. Suddenly, Dusty gets in the ring and makes the save for Sandman, but the numbers game catches up to him as well. Tajiri then gets in the ring and fights Victory, Rhino and Corino. Scotty Anton then joins Victory, Rhino and Corino in the brawl, then Rob Van Dam runs in to equal the odds. RVD fights off Rhino and Anton before taking out The Network (Corino, Rhino, Victory, Anton). Jerry Lynn shows up as the show ends.
