Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for May 19, 2000

We hear from The Sinister Minister, who says that Hardcore Heaven has come and gone and that Jerry Lynn did the impossible and pinned Rob Van Dam in the ring. He also mentions Rhyno Goring The Sandman's wife Lori Fullington and Tajiri nearly making Steve Corino bleed to death. Mikey Whipwrecks rides up on a tricycle and says he sees dead people, but The Sinister Minister tells him that Brad Siegel has not fired Eric Bischoff and Vince Russo, whom he says are "just like [his] old friend Keith Richards" as they are dead and do not even know it yet.

Kid Kash beats Johnny Swinger. After the match, Little Guido and Big Sal E. Graziano show up, and Guido slams Kid Kash before Big Sal hits Kid Kash with a top rope diving headbutt. Mikey Whipwreck then gets in the ring and throws a fireball into Big Sal's face. This starts an impromptu match.

Mikey Whipwreck beats Little Guido.

We get a short recap of Hardcore Heaven.

We hear from Rob Van Dam, who tells Jerry Lynn that he took something that did not belong to him: a victory over him. He says that if he were to lose, it would to be against Jerry Lynn, but not in the way. He tells Scotty Anton and Cyrus he will deal with him, and tells Rhino that he will especially deal with him. He says that Hardcore Heaven was supposed to be his comeback match where he came back better than before he left, and before he left, he was the best. He says this is not just a win in the record books, but a win that will "come out of [Jerry Lynn's] ass" after he is done "kicking [his] fucking ass."

Danny Doring and Roadkill beat the team of Chris Chetti and Nova and Da Baldies (Angel and Big Vito). During the match, Steve Corino hijacks the commentary booth, saying that everybody wants to be hardcore and addresses Tajiri spilling his blood at Hardcore Heaven. After the match, Corino complains about Tajiri beating him up again, then Da Baldies attack Doring and Roadkill with a steel chair before slamming Roadkill through two chairs in the center of the ring. Suddenly, New Jack shows up with a couple of weapons and beats up Da Baldies.

Backstage, Jerry Lynn talks about his history with Rob Van Dam and says that both of them "got fucked with" at Hardcore Heaven. He says that his victory at Hardcore Heaven proves he is not just good; he is better.

Before the next match, Justin Credible tells Raven that he has beaten him from pillar to post all over the country and beaten him in the middle of the ring, and tonight, he will show him why he is the ECW World Heavyweight Champion. Meanwhile, Steve Corino torments Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner in the commentary booth, and Gertner gets Corino away from them by tricking Corino into believing that Tajiri is nearby.

Justin Credible retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Raven. During the match, Credible rams Raven into referee Jim Molineaux, who is sandwiched in the corner. Francine gets on top of Raven, but Raven throws her off. Justin hits Justin Credible, but Raven gets his foot on the bottom rope. Raven goes for a Sunset Flip off the apron, but Justin grabs the ropes to pin Raven down and retain the title.

It is announced that Lori Fullington is still in the hospital and that her condition is unknown following Hardcore Heaven.

We hear from Cyrus and Rhino. Cyrus says he is tired of Extreme Championship Wrestling, and says that he used to work for Vince McMahon and might work for him again after a merger goes through. He is also mad because he has a tremendous athlete in Rhino who is put in the ring with drunks, decrepit idiots and their "whore wives" only for the two of them to be viewed as the bad guys. He plans to send ECW back to the stone age by paying Vince McMahon $100 million to come here just to get back at Paul Heyman and ECW, saying that Vince is "a goddamn saint." Rhino says he does not care if it is The Sandman, Lori Fullington, Tajiri, Super Crazy or Rob Van Dam, because if anyone wants the ECW World Television Championship, they will have to go through him.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show.

It is announced by Paul Heyman that last night at the Morratt Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, Tazz - who is currently in the World Wrestling Federation - shocked the wrestling world during the show, and that the footage of what he did will be shown later tonight.

Rhino beats Kid Kash in the final seconds of a match after the announcement by Paul Heyman.

We hear from Jazz, who says she wants to kill Dawn Marie and that she is not going to jail over her. She opens a door and meets with The Sinister Minister and Mikey Whipwreck - the latter of whom is setting playing cards on fire with a lighter - and tells The Sinister Minster to do something to Dawn Marie that is completely bleeped out. The Sinister Minister says she couldn't turn down a request from someone like her, but it will cost her. He offers his services in exchange for a few beers and some sex, but Jazz is not interested in quid pro quo and tells The Sinister Minister to get himself to church. Mikey asks the Minister if Jazz is always a wench or if it's just on Friday, and the Minister says that Jazz just doesn't like to drink beer. He and Mikey laugh, and the camera pans out to reveal that most of the deck of cards is on fire on the locker room floor.

The show is interrupted by Paul Heyman again, who says that Tazz shocked the entire wrestling world last night at the Morratt Center in Indianapolis, Indiana and that footage will be shown later tonight.

The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) retain the ECW World Tag Team Championships against Nova and Chris Chetti. Before the match, it is announced that Nova and Chris Chetti wiped "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason this weekend at a house show to explain Jason's absence from ringside. During the match, Dawn Marie breaks up a pinfall, but is immediately attacked from behind by Jazz. Jazz is then hit with a piledriver by Lance Storm. Chris Chetti has Lance Storm where he wants him, but Justin Credible hits Chetti in the head with one of the tag team titles to allow The Impact Players to retain.

We see footage from last night at the Morratt Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Mike Awesome - still the ECW World Heavyweight Champion - shows up announced. All of a sudden, Tazz - who is currently in the World Wrestling Federation - shows up unannounced to his WWF entrance theme to face Mike Awesome in an impromptu wrestling match for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. In an impromptu match that sees a WWF talent face a WCW talent for an ECW title in an ECW ring, Tazz beats Mike Awesome with the Katahajime to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship despite being signed to the WWF after "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer shows up after referee Jim Molineaux is knocked down after Tazz is whipped into him by Mike Awesome. Molineaux is able to get back up and call for the bell. After the match, "Judge" Jeff Jones and Mike Awesome leave through the crowd. After the match, Dreamer raises Tazz's hand in victory.

Tajiri beats Little Guido and Super Crazy in a three-way dance . Little Guido is eliminated following a splash through a table by Tajiri that is meant for Super Crazy, and Super Crazy is eliminated after referee Mike Kehner is taken out due to Tajiri's mist - which was meant for Super Crazy - and Rhino decimates Super Crazy before piledriving him through a table. Referee Jim Molineaux has to run into the ring to make the count for Tajiri. After the match, Cyrus shows up and celebrates Tajiri's title victory, saying that Tajiri will hand the TV title over to the network at Cyberslam before claiming that he is bigger than TNN, life and God and that he is drunk on power. Suddenly, The Sandman shows up through the crowd.

After the commercial break, The Sandman is in the ring with Rhino, striking him with a Singapore cane. Cyrus shows up and flashes his TNN ID card, and Steve Corino tries to take the Singapore cane away from Sandman. Sandman turns around and stops him from doing it, but Tajiri spits red mist into Sandman's eyes and Rhino Gores Sandman and an official through two tables. Suddenly, Rob Van Dam returns on the shoulders of Scotty Anton with Bill Alfonso in tow. Cyrus threatens to do something if RVD that if he steps through the ropes, but Rhino stops him and says that if he steps through the ropes, he will "kick [his] fuckin' ass." RVD and Scotty Anton both get in the ring, and RVD takes out Jack Victory and Tajiri before standing toe-to-toe with Rhino to end the show.

After announcing there is officially less than an hour before Rollerjam, Cyrus announces that last week, ECW allowed "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes to place his hands on him, and says ECW does not need any more heat with the network than it already has. He also addressed Rob Van Dam's broken leg, saying that he has come up with a solution concerning this and the ECW World Television Championship: Rob Van Dam will be stripped of the title by ECW, and ECW will comply with what he and the network tells them to do. He will let ECW know what they will do with the Television title. He then says it is 57 minutes and 53 seconds until Rollerjam after telling everyone to watch ECW Wrestling tonight.

It is announced that ECW: Hardcore Revolution has been out on Sony PlayStation and Nintendo 64 since yesterday, and some brief footage from the game is displayed.

We hear from Masato Tanaka, who cuts a promo in Japanese on tonight's main event. He then says in English that he will win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship back from Mike Awesome.

Danny Doring and Roadkill beat Nova and Chris Chetti despite Nova moving out of the way of a splash through a table by Roadkill. The match is Chris Chetti's first since returning to full-time action after injuring his back at Anarchy Rulez. Both men share respect after the match, then The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) run in with "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and decimate both teams.

Mike Awesome tells Masato Tanaka that he has beaten Tazz, Spike Dudley and New Jack's asses, and if he wants to take the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, he will give him an awesome ass beating.

Super Crazy beats C.W. Anderson after putting Anderson through a table and nearly impaling himself on a table leg while trying to put Anderson through another after Wild Bill Whiles and Lou E. Dangerously's interference attempt backfires.

It is announced that Rob Van Dam will be out for at least 12 weeks with his broken leg.

Chris Chetti and Nova tell The Impact Players that tonight that if they want to attack them after their match and make an impact, then they just became their biggest fans. Chetti says he set up rings and got dumped on his head by Tazz for three years to make an impact, and he did not have to "wear a yellow jockstrap on his head and carry ["The Heartbreak Kid"] Shawn Michaels' bags to the car" to do it, either. Nova says he wrestled in the ring for free to earn his position in the company, and he did not a girl like Dawn Marie to get over. Chetti says the next time they see them, they will be the ones making the impact.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Masato Tanaka after a top rope Awesome Bomb through a table.
