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."

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for November 19, 1999

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to the show, then Rhino suddenly shows up. Rhino says he and Justin Credible are not the new Impact Wrestling, as Justin is a "fucking pussy" just like Lance Storm. He tells The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) that they may be afraid of Raven and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer, but he fears no man. He calls Binghampton, New York a "shithole," and says he will kick the shit out of Raven and Dreamer and take the tag team titles, and says everyone will remember only one name: Rhino. As Rhino heads to the back, Tammy Lynn Sytch meets up with him, says she likes big, muscular men, asks him to follow her to the janitor's closet, then whispers into his ear. Rhino smiles and says "Now that I can do," and they both head to the back.

Angel and Tony DeVito of Da Balides are in the New York City subways. Tonight, Skull and P.N. News will be taking on Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney in a Street Fight, and the loser of the fall leaves ECW forever. As for why there are here, their boys do not need back-up. They have also heard that New Jack is back on the street and returning to his "OG" style. They threaten to take New Jack out if they see him again, and if they have to spend the next 20 years in prison for taking him out, it will be worth it as it will feel so good.

Jerry Lynn beats Super Crazy. During the match, Steve Corino and Tajiri distract referee Jim Molineaux as Super Crazy is about to pin Jerry Lynn. Molineaux punches Steve Corino in the face, then Tajiri spits green mist in his face, blinding him. Tajiri then proceeds to hit Super Crazy with a roundhouse kick to the head followed by a brainbuster before leaving. Referee John Finegan checks on Jim Molineaux, then notices that Jerry Lynn has his arm over Super Crazy. He counts the pinfall, and Jerry Lynn gets the win.

Angel and Tony DeVito of Da Baldies take the subway as they look for New Jack. Angel challenges New Jack later tonight to a fight in The Bronx, saying New Jack has never seen anybody nipping at his heels. After saying he'll keep an eye out for him, he dares New Jack to come down there, and says if he sees him, he will take his lights out and hang his head on a mantle after he plays him out.

Backstage, Steve Corino says to Jack Victory that he is dying after being punched by Jim Molineaux. Jack Victory brings out a minister, who immediately chants something and causes Corino to stop crying, say he is healed and announce he is born again. Jack Victory thanks the man sarcastically, saying the minister blew a million dollars for him. The minister says this gig sucks, then smokes a cigarette and says that it beats managing Mortis and Wrath, revealing that the minister is, in fact, James Vandenberg.

Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney beat Da Baldies (Skull and P.N. News), with Skull taking the pinfall. As per pre-match stipulation, Skull is gone from ECW.

Jack Victory and Steve Corino go looking for Rhino, who is with Chris Candido and Tammy Lynn Sytch. Corino asks about his plan, but Rhino and Candido say that they have everything under control, while Candido says he is the best sports entertainer in the locker room and Rhino saying that Tammy is "a damn good negotiator." When everyone notices the cameraperson nearby, they tell him to get out, as theyare conducting business, and Rhino has to scare the cameraperson off.

Back on the New York City subways, Angel and Tony DeVito of Da Baldies steal a man's wallet, address Skull's departure from ECW, then Angel brags about what he did to New Jack at November To Remember. He admits that New Jack has props, but he is still soft. Next week, he challenges New Jack to a New York City Street Fight, and regardless of where it takes place, he will play him out. He says it doesn't matter if New Jack takes him to the grave as he will take New Jack with him, and prove that the streets belong not to New Jack, but Da Baldies (Angel, DeVito, P.N. News).

We see "Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill. Doring says that first, he loses Miss Congeniality, then Rhino and Chris Candido are suddenly getting a shot at the tag team titles, and asks who they ever beat to get it. He says it is all because TNN wants ratings, and that all you need is a pair of boobs to get a tag team title shot around here. A woman shows up and tells him that if it is boobs he wants, then it is boobs he will get. We find out that this woman is wearing a fur coat and a black two-piece swimsuit. Danny Doring takes her to the side. Roadkill says "Chickens," then hisses and leaves.

Before the next match, Steve Corino addresses his anger over being punched by ECW referee Jim Molineaux, and demands restitution for this in the form of the ECW World Tag Team Championships. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer punches him in the face, then the next match starts.

Raven and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer retain the ECW World Tag Team Championships against Rhino and Chris Candido following a catfight between Tammy Lynn Sytch and Francine that happens after Tammy hits Dreamer with a low blow to stop a Spicolli Drver to Candido. After the match, Rhino, Steve Corino and Jack Victory attack Raven and Dreamer until The Sandman shows up, gets in the ring and attacks them all with his Singapore Cane to save Dreamer. Raven then attacks The Sandman, and Dreamer has to keep Raven away. This leads to Sandman inadvertently hitting Dreamer in the head with the Singapore Cane, and The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) lay both Dreamer and The Sandman out.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for October 22, 1999

Before the next match, "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner introduces Mike Awesome, then tells him "I wish you the best of luck...at this point, I'm outta here!" He then hands Judge Jeff Jones the microphone - who in turn, tosses it to the timekeeper - and runs to the back before New Jack shows up with a ton of weapons.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against New Jack.

Chris Candido vs. Nova ends when Danny Doring, Roadkill and Miss Congeniality attack Nova. After the match, Chris Vandido helps Nova fight them off, and Tammy Lynn Sytch and Miss Congeniality have a catfight. Afterwards, Lance Storm and Dawn Marie show up, distracting Candido and Sytch and not only allowing Danny Doring and Roadkill to hold down Candido so Storm can beat Candido up, but for Miss Congeniality to hold Tammy Lynn Sytch down so that Dawn Marie can spank her with a paddle. Afterwards, Dawn Marie hits Miss Congeniality in the back of the head with her paddle. Storm tells everyone to pay attention, and Dawn Marie says "Two down, one to ago" before telling Francine to get her "lame ass" out here so she can show her who the real queen of extreme is. Francine shows up with "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer. Storm wants to know who is holding who back, as he broke Dreamer's back, and since Dreamer broke his back, he is not a whole lot of good to her. Dreamer and Francine go after Storm and Dawn Marie, and Justin Credible rushes into the ring to hit Dreamer in the back of the head with a Singapore cane. Raven shows up and leaves Dreamer to The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), but they dare him to cross the line. Raven keeps crossing it, and he and Dreamer take down The Impact Players before Raven hits Dreamer with an Evenflow DDT almost immediately after they back into each other and turn around.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer says that New Orleans, Louisiana is special to his heart, and tells Raven to get in the ring so they can finish everything once and for all. Raven shows up, gets in the ring, circles around, and then leaves.

Rhino quickly beats David Kash. After the match, Steve Corino says that the way he sees it, there is nobody left for Rhino to destroy, except for one. Tonight, they will not go for a title; instead, they are going to take out the originator of ECW and take out a hardcore legend in Sabu. Sabu shows up with Bill Alfonso and referee Jim Molineaux, and Rhino immediately goes on the attack as soon as Sabu gets in the ring.

Sabu beats Rhino in a fast-paced match that sees neither man let up.

Next week: Sabu vs. Taz!

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for October 15, 1999

Chris Candido and Tammy Lynn Sytch show up, followed by Lance Storm and Dawn Marie. Storm says he saw Tammy's interview last week, and says it good to know she realizes she is a has-been at 26, then says people in the back figured it out a year ago. He goes on to say Candido only had enough talent for him to carry him for a year-and-a-half. He tells them to go back to their old habits and take a powder. Candido says the only powder they are taking is one they're man enough to make. Dawn Marie tells Candido to get out and take "[his] prostitute" with him. This leads to a brawl between both parties that security has to break up.

Tom Marquez vs. David Kash ends when Rhino and Steve Corino show up and Rhino Gores both men in the match. Corino then brings attention to the fact that Kyle Truley and Josh Wilcox of the New Orleans Saints are in the crowd, and Rhyno says he will beat the crap out of them. Rhino and the football players go at it, and security has to get involved. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer shows up and has to help security out. Corino notices Dreamer, and says he will destroy him and end his career for good as one of the football players rips Rhino's jersey, which is tossed into the crowd.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beats Steve Corino. During the match, Dreamer pulls Corino's tights down after getting him on the top rope and hits him with a steel chair to the bare buttocks. Later on in the match, Corino punches referee Jim Molineaux after tripping Dreamer onto a steel chair. Shortly afterwards, Dreamer puts Corino in the Tarantula, and Francine kicks Jack Victory off the apron. Tajiri shows up and attacks Dreamer, then goes after Francine, who kicks him in the crotch and runs to the back after ducking a roundhouse kick from Tajiri. Jack Victory is seen holding Dreamer back, but Raven runs in and pushes Corino off the tope rope. Dreamer hits Victory with a DDT, and Raven does the same to Tajiri before hitting Dreamer with one, too. Raven sits in the corner as Corino goes for the three-count, but Dreamer reverses the pinfall into an inside cradle for the win. After the match, Raven mockingly congratulates Dramer, who is still knocked out.

Before the next match, Bill Alfonso announces that sooner rather than later, Sabu will victimize someone on ECW on TNN.

Lance Storm beats Chris Candido. During the match, Justin Credible and Jason show up as Dawn Marie rakes Chris Candido's eyes. This leads to a catfight between Tammy Lynn Sytch and Dawn Marie, which ends with Dawn Marie hitting Sytch with a foreign object as she has Jason in position for a DDT. After Justin Credible whacks Candido in the back with a Singapore cane, Lance Storm hits Jerry Lynn's cradle piledriver for the win.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Rod Price after putting The Ragin' Cajun through a table outside of the ring.

Dawn Marie tells us that if we are watching "the all boobs and no brains show," then we should get our thrill right now, because before too long , it will all be over as she is running them out of town and she is a star. Lance Storm says it is strictly business, and that the more people they run out, the more impact they make, and if they get rid of Raven and Dreamer, they will win the tag team titles and make an impact, which is what they do. Justin Credible that's not just the coolest or the best, it's just incredible.

We see promos from various members of the ECW roster. During one of them, Steve Corino tells Jerry Lynn to shut up and stop whining before leaving. Lynn goes after him only to find Miss Congeniality in one of the locker rooms. He finds Corino only to get beaten up by Tajiri.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for June 16, 1997

It is announced that "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels has suffered another injury to his surgically repaired knee and will be out for at least four to six weeks. As a result, there will be a tag team tournament where the winning team will face "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and a partner of his choosing for the WWF Tag Team Championships.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin makes his way to the ring. He tells Vince McMahon he doesn't care about the tournament, saying he doesn't need "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels as the WWF stuck him with Shawn...or anyone, for that matter. Mankind appears on the TitanTron, saying that he felt a bond between the two of them when Austin flipped him off last night and that they could set the tag team division on fire. Austin isn't interested, but Mankind says that like Shawn, he has long hair, can wear one earring and can shake his ass as he has a nice ass. He gives Austin some time to think about it, and disappears from the TitanTron. Austin then tells Brian Pillman will get his ass whipped and join his friends in the sewer system when he gets flushed down the commode. As Vince McMahon says that rest of The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) will be cuffed to each ring post, "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock shows up and tells Austin he only showed up to fight off the Foundation because he doesn't like bullies, and says that Austin is no less of a bully than the Foundation. He hasn't forgotten last week, and he will make him pay as he challenges him to a match right now. Austin accepts without any hesitation.

'Cause Stone Cold Said So is now available on VHS! Just $19.99 plus $6 shipping and handling!

Brian Pillman finds it ludicrous that The Hart Foundation is being cuffed to the ring, as they made a mistake in not cuffing him, the convicted felon with the rap sheet. He tells "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock he has nothing to worry about, as Austin is going down tonight.

Owen Hart and The British Bulldog beat The New Blackjacks (Blackjack Windham and Blackjack Bradshaw) to continue to the next round of the tag team tournament.

Paul Bearer says that both The Undertaker and Ahmed Johnson will do what he says if they know what's best for them tonight.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock says "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will pay for the Stone Cold Stunner he gave him last week, and that he will make him pay tonight.

Before the next match, Phineas I. Godwinn tries to impress Chyna, and Chyna manhandles the backstage worker who takes Hunter Hearst Helmsley's jacket to the back.

Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Phineas I. Godwinn after Phineas I. Godwinn kisses Chyna. Henry O. Godwinn shows up as Helmsley and Chyna leaves and confronts Phineas for his actions. He then points at Vince McMahon, screaming "This is your fault, McMahon!"

Faarooq insists that two bigger, better, badder and blacker members will join the new Nation of Domination tonight.

Sunny is guest ring announcer for the next match, while Paul E. Dangerously of Extreme Championship Wrestling guests on commentary as it is an inter-promotional match.

USWA's Brian Christopher vs. ECW's Chris Candido ends in a no-contest. During the match, Paul E. Dangerously acknowledges that Chris Candido used to be in the WWF (though does not exactly say that Chris Candido used to be Skip of the Bodydonnas) and that Brian Christopher is the son of Jerry "The King" Lawler as he says that Christopher's own father never gave him a chance in professional wrestling. Suddenly, Lawler shows up with Rob Van Dam, slaps Paul E. Dangerously and tosses Chris Candido off the top turnbuckle. As Christopher, Lawler and RVD stomp on Candido, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer rushes in with a steel chair. Dreamer flashes a ticket to the event afterwards.

Backstage, Ahmed Johnson says he thought about what Paul Bearer said last week, and tells Paul Bearer and The Undertaker that he hopes they can do it the easy way tonight.

We see footage from Saturday night's live event at the Toronto Skydome, where Bret "The Hit Man" Hart praises Canada, saying it is the best country on the planet as he and fellow Hart Foundation cohorts Owen Hart and The British Bulldog are treated like national heroes.

Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart says he doesn't like being treated like a common criminal or being handcuffed to a ring post, and that he doesn't what Goldust likes or doesn't like. He tells Goldust that if he thinks the Foundation are criminals, he'll show him that crime pays.

Goldust beats Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. During the match, The British Bulldog stalks Marlena, and grabs Marlena by the wrist when she tries to slap him. As the referee is distracted by Marlena, Neidhart and Bulldog attack Goldust, but it's not enough.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin says he has Brian Pillman and The Hart Foundation (Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) where he wants them and will run through them, then he will rock the world of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock.

The intro to the show replays to signify the start of War Zone.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin vs. Brian Pillman ends in a no-contest. During the match, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin hits the referee with a Stone Cold Stunner, and Pillman takes advantage of the situation by hitting Austin with a foreign object. As another referee checks on the downed referee, Owen Hart takes the key from the downed referee and uses it to unlock the handcuffs, first his own and then those of The British Bulldog and Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart. All four members of The Hart Foundation attack Austin, and Mankind, Goldust and "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock rush in to make the save. After the Foundation retreats, Austin and Shamrock get it on, and Shamrock hits Austin with a belly-to-belly suplex before the two of them brawl. The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) run into the ring to separate both men. Goldust gets a microphone and tells everyone to stop the brawling, telling Austin and everyone that this is what the Foundation want. Goldust says the Foundation have laid down a challenge, and says all five of them will come to Calgary and whip their asses just like Stone Cold said so. Stone Cold relents for once and says this is a one-time thing and that after In Your House: Canadian Stampede, they're not going to be friends and it's going to be business as usual.

The Hart Foundation know who their five opponents are, and plan to treat them like the American scum that they are. They are equal opportunity destroyers, and the battle lines have been drawn in blood.

Sable is guest ring announcer for the next match.

Tommy Rogers beats Bobby Fulton, his long-time tag team partner in The Fantastics, after Fulton thinks he has won when the referee has caught him using the ropes for leverage. The match is the very first one to be part of what is called the Light Heavyweight Division, where all the competitors are 215 lbs. or less. After the match, "Wildman" Marc Mero shows up and walks Sable to the back.

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) beat "Mr. Monday Night" Rob Van Dam and Jerry "The King" Lawler to continue to the next round of the tag team title tournament. Paul E. Dangerously and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer are seen in the front row during the match, but it is The Sandman who shows up and rams a kendo stick into Lawler's crotch as the referee is distracted. RVD, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer all fight each other in the front row after the match, and Paul E. has to hold The Sandman back.

Ahmed Johnson and The Undertaker are ready for their match against the new Nation of Domination tonight. When Paul Bearer says that he is the leader of the team, Ahmed tells Paul that he respects and fears The Undertaker, and that Bearer is nothing to him. Ahmed then tells 'Taker that if he is going to listening to Bearer tonight, they're going to have a problem.

Faarooq reveals the first of two new members of the new Nation of Domination: Kama Mustafa, who attacks The Undertaker from behind before the start of the match. This marks the return of Kama, who hasn't been seen since the 1996 Royal Rumble match.

The Nation of Domination (Faarooq and Kama Mustafa) as Ahmed Johnson confronts Paul Bearer at ringside, leaving The Undertaker unable to make a tag. After the match, Ahmed hits The Undertaker with the Pearl River Plunge, then walks up the entrance ramp and raises his fist in the Black power salute, revealing himself to be the second man.
