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.

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.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for April 28, 2000

It is announced that footage from "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer vs. Tazz for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship will be aired tonight.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcomes everyone to tonight's show, which takes place during Cyberslam.

Before the next match, Cyrus calls Yoshihiro Tajiri a team player, then tells him he has had "a hell of a run" as ECW World Television Champion. He then demands that Tajiri hold up his end of the deal and relinquish the title to Rhino. Tajiri is reluctant, and Cyrus chews him, calling him a "slanty-eyed bastard" and telling he can pull his work visa and reduce him to a restaurant delivery boy. Tajiri is still reluctant, and Cyrus begins to yell at him. At this point, Tajiri fesues, and when Cyrus asks for his answer, Tajiri simply says "Fuck you." This leads to a match for the ECW World Television Championship between Tajiri and Rhino.

Rhino beats Yoshihiro Tajiri following a Gore and two piledrivers to become the ECW World Heavyweight Championship following the distraction by Steve Corino and Jack Victory. After the match, Cyrus calls Rhino "the network's hand-picked succesor to Rob Van Dam," and says that if there is one lesson can be learned from this, it is that nobody can stand up to The Network (Cyrus, Steve Corino, Rhino, Jack Victory) and that if there is anybody in the back who has the guts to do so, all they have to do is bring it on. That challenge is answered by Rob Van Dam himself, who runs in with Scotty Anton and brawls with The Network so that RVD and Rhino are alone in the ring. RVD quickly gets the upper hand as The Network flees. This does not stop RVD from hitting a swanton bomb on Rhino and Corino on the outside. Afterwards, Cyrus tells RVD he is looking at a different ECW and that The Network controls the ECW World Television Championship. He says that if RVD thought he could waltz back in after three months, he has another thing coming, and announces that The Sandman will be challenging Rhino for the title at Hardcore Heaven on May 14th. Meanwhile, Rob Van Dam will not be left out of the pay-per-view, and on that night, he will be facing Jerry Lynn, who has not been in months since breaking his ankle. Cyrus tells Jerry Lynn it is a pleasure to have him back wth the network, but Jerry Lynn tells him to get out of here and calls him a "network stooge" before knocking him to the mat. He then tells RVD that they suffered injuries at the same time, but as he sat at home, he heard nothing about himself while everyone was talking about RVD. Lynn brags that he took RVD to his limit, and at Hardcore Heaven, he has the privilege of "kicking [his] fucking ass." He then says that everyone while know that he is not only "the new fuckin' show," but "the whole fuckin' show." After Lynn flips RVD off when RVD offers to shake his hand, Scotty Anton confronts Lynn only to get hit with a forearm.

We hear from The Sinister Minister, who says that a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend informed him that World Championship Wrestling would love to procure his and Mikey Whipwreck's services, he says that even his soul would not sink that low, and that he would not be caught dead in "that third rate promotion" as Mikey Whipwreck places him in a casket. As Mikey laughs, The Sinister Minister opens the casket back up and tells him that this is no laughing matter, but Mikey Whipwreck says he knows and that he hates WCW, too. The Sinister Minister then tells Eric Bischoff that if he ever wants to come kick his ass, he is easy to find as they are both in the same neck of the woods: Hell. On his command, Mikey laughs and closes the casket, then rolls around laughing.

We see footage of Rhino grabbing The Sandman's wife Lori Fullinton and Goring her and The Sandman through a table from during the commercial break.

We hear from The Sinister Minister, who plays with an Ouija board before saying the spirit guides tell him that ECW is hotter than Hell. We then see the table - and the Ouija board that is on it - burning before Mikey Whipwreck puts himself through it. The Sinister Minster tells Mikey he has "a hell of a knack" for spoiling the moment, then he and Mikey laugh maniacally.

We see some highlights from Cyberslam 2000 of "The American Dream" vs. Steve Corino, the attack on The Sandman and Lori Fullington by The Network (Steve Corino, Jack Victory, Rhino) and Lance Storm vs. Nova. It is also announced that Lance Storm has been taken to a local hospital and that updates are forthcoming.

We see footage of Tazz and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dramer is a show of respect to one another before Tazz says farewell to ECW. As Raven watches from the aisle, Dreamer says he has waited his whole life for this, and while he may not make it to WrestleMania or Starrcade, he made it in the ECW Arena. He tearfully thanks the fans for their support, then is congratulated by friends both personal and from the ECW locker room. After everyone leaves, Raven and Francine show up, then Raven extends his hand. They shake hands and hug, and as Raven raises Dreamer's ahdn, they are both attacked with a kendo stick shot to the head by Justin Credible, who says that all he has been hearing is Mike Awesome throwing ECW in the trash on Nitro and Tazz defending the ECW World Heavyweight Championship on Raw. He says that everyone wants to make an impact in ECW, and asks who better to do it that him. He then says the tag team titles are nothing, and says that every team who held the titles before him and Lance Storm can kiss his ass. He throws the belts down and spits on him, and makes it clear that he wants a match for the World title right now. When he demands an answer from Dreamer, Dreamer yells "Ring the bell!", starting an impromptu World title match between Justin and Dreamer.

Justin Credible beats "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer after Francine hits a low bow on Dreamer, who initially saves her, as part of "Plan B." After the match, Francine rips her clothes off to reveal a negligee underneath before celebrating with Justin Credible and Jason.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for February 11, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. Once again, Cyrus cuts Gertner off before he can finish his nasty nickname of the week, and this time, The Dupp Brothers (Bo and Jack Dupp) are with him. Cyrus says the network has more important things to deal with that Gertner getting himself over. Cyrus then talks about how Rob Van Dam has broken his leg, and says nobody feels worse about it than he does. Unfortunately, the network are not concerned about RVD's broken leg; instead, they are more concerned with advertisement revenue, live gate attendance and ratings. He says that the athletes of Rock 'n Bowl would never miss a booking, then says that the ECW World Television Championship must be defended on television on TNN, as the show is a lead-in for Rollerjam. Cyrus declares that the World Television title will be defended tonight, RVD's leg injury notwithstanding, as Rollerjam must go on. He has now made an executive decision that Spike Dudley will step in and defend the title in RVD's place against The Dupps. He then says he can do whatever he wants, because he is the network. Spike Dudley gets in the ring, then hits both of The Dupp Brothers with the Acid Drop for the easy win.

Raven talks with Mikey Whipwreck backstage. He asks Mikey to talk to "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer, even though he is wrestling him tonight, and make it painfully clear to him that what is going on between him and Francine is nothing to ruin their friendship over. Raven calls this "an intervention," and asks Mikey to make Dreamer understand that they are best friends and what is going on between him and Francine is not an issue. Mikey tells Raven they are on the same page. Raven leaves, then Mikey says to someone off-camera that Raven is "one weird dude." We then see The Sinister Minister, who says that Raven would make the perfect disciple. Mikey and The Sinister Minister then laugh maniacally.

We hear from New Jack and Balls Mahoney. New Jack tells Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes) that they are one step ahead of them, and if they want to them, they will show them what side of the street they will play on: the ragged side across the tracks with the ragged house, muggers and pushers. They are going to do something to them that the human mind cannot imagine, and tells Da Baldies not to take credit for him breaking his foot, and that was him trying to take them out. If they still want them, they will turn the temperature up just a little bit, and when Da Baldies play with fire, they will get burned. It is then announced that Balls Mahoney and New Jack will take on Da Baldies next week.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beats Mikey Whipwreck. During the match, The Sinister Minister shows up, and it becomes obvious to Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner that The Sinister Minister is taking advantage of Mikey's vulnerable state. Mike grabs the microphone and says that he is not a baby just because he is 39 and lives in his mother's flat, then hits Dreamer with the microphone multiple times. Dreamer grabs the microphone and tells Mikey "You're right, Mikey! You're not a baby! You're a fucking pussy!" before hitting him with the microphone and taking him into the stands. Later on in the match, The Sinister Minister pulls Dreamer out of a pinfall attempt after the Dramer Driver, then gets confronted by Francine. The Sinister Minister tries to make peace with her by shaking hards, but Francine kicks him in the groin as soon as he turns his back, then hits him with the Bronco Buster. Mikey grabs Francine from behind, but Dreamer grabs Mikey. Mikey kicks Dreamer in the groin, then hits a superkick. After a near-fall, Mikey checks on The Sinister Minister, then Raven gets in the ring. Dreamer ducks when Mikey throws some powder, which hits Raven. A blinded Raven then walks into Francine, and inadvertently Evenflow DDTs her to the mat. Dramer pummels Raven in the corner, then Mikey goes for a schoolboy pin for a two-count. Dreamer then hits the Spicolli Driver on Mikey, then beats the crap out of Raven again. Mikey tries to hit the Whippersnapper on Dreamer, but Dreamer counters it into a DDT for the win.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer is seen backstage looking for Francine. One of the guys backstage seated a table jokes around, saying "I don't know, probably banging Raven." Dreamer proceeds to beat the crap out of the guy. Members of the locker room have to hold Dreamer back and tell him that Francine is at the hospital. Mitch then tells Dreamer that Raven could not see Francine when he hit her with the Evenflow DDT, as he had powder thrown into his eyes. Dreamer throws Mitch into a nearby steel door, then tells him "Next time, speak when spoken [to]."

Justin Credible vs. Raven ends when "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and Lance Storm get involved in the match and Storm and Credible drive Raven head-first into a steel chair with a double-team spike piledriver. "Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill run into the ring and fight off Storm and Credible.

After the commercial break, Paul Heyman pushes The Sinister Minister away as he and "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes check on Raven. Cyrus then gets in the ring, and tells Dusty to get Raven out of the ringbecause this is about the network, not the wrestler. Dusty confronts Cyrus, telling him it is about the boys and not the network. Cyrus tells Dusty not to "kayfabe him" about the boys, and says he knows just as well as he does that it is about the network, telling him that the sucking sound he is hearing is money flowing out of the network. He says ratings are falling and channels are changing, but Dusty takes the microphone and he does not have to stand out here and listen to him talk about the network, as it is not about the network or the ratings, but the boys who put their lives on the line every night while guys like Cyrus have a job. He then Cyrus to tell the network to call him next week, and says he came to ECW for one reason: he got drawn in and got his ass kicked by "the young Turks" of ECW because it was all about the boys. He says that the wrestlers in the locker room are a bunch of somebodies who pay Cyrus' bills, and that they are all one thing: the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Dusty then says that he is here because "people gave a shit about what he did" for 30 years. He then says he says he does not want to hear about the network, then thanks the fans for giving back to him. Suddenly, Steve Corino shows up, but Dusty tells Corino he is through with him. Corino asks Dusty if he is afraid of him revealing the real truth about the real Dusty Rhodes, but Dusty reminds Corino that he has already laid him out. Corino swipes at Dusty's hat when Dusty turns around, and Dusty takes the hat off before telling Corino "Somebody oughta punch you in the nose, but I ain't...the hell I ain't!" He then punches Corino in the nose before hitting a bionic elbow on Cyrus. Jack Victory runs out, but he also get a bionic elbow. Rhino runs into the ring as Dusty continues to punch Corino and lays Dusty out, then Jack Victory tries to choke Dusty out with a bullrope while Corino puts Dusty in a Figure Four Leg Lock and Rhino continues to stomp on him. The Sandman shows up to end the show.

Guilty As Charged is live this Sunday on pay-per-view!

Spike Dudley tells Miek Awesome he hopes he is not focused on his gimmick, as he knocked his girlfriend's teeth out. He was the one who was kicked out of The Dudleys due to being too violent. He has been put through everything, and he still got up and fought the next match without being injured. He does not care about winning or losing on Sunday; all he cares about is extreme wrestling and hurting Mike Awesome.

"Judge" Jeff Jones says he has managed Mike Awesome to the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and asks Spike Dudley who he thinks he is by having his girlfriend come into the ring and hit him with the Acid Drop. He says she made him look ridiculous, and he cannot afford to look ridiculous. Mike Awesome tells Spike that if he has the balls to interrupt his victory celebration, then he can only imagine what he can do to him after he knocked Spike's girlfriend's teeth down her throat.

Lance Storm tells "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer that tonight will be a big night for him, since he will be in his hometown at the very arena where he and his father watched wrestling and watched the stars passed Tommy by. Tonight, another star will pass Tommy by, and that star is Justin Credible. Justin tells Tommy he wants this between himself and Tommy, and he asks Lance to stay out of the way if Dreamer has him up against the ropes, for if Tommy can beat him, he will be the better man. He says Tommy is not the better man, and tonight, he will demolish every hope that ever crossed his mind and show everyone that he and Lance Storm are guilty as charged.

Danny Doring and Roadkill beat The Dupp Brothers (Bo and Jack Dupp) and Nova and Kid Kash. During the match, Elektra tries to break up a pinfall, but Jazz gets in the ring and brawls with Elektra until Simon Diamond shows up and carries Jazz away.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for December 10, 1999

Bill Alfonso says everybody wants to know how he is going to handle the problems between Rob Van Dam and Sabu, and says there is a simple solution. All of a sudden, the dressing room door opens, and Francine calls for "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to get in the room as Raven is beating his head on the wall again. Dreamer runs in and tells Raven to stop, because he did the right thing. He tells Raven that he has come so far, and he cannot mess it up now.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner introduce everyone to the show. After a replay of the end of what happened at the end of last week's show, Steve Corino and Jack Victory are in the ring. Corino says what happened at the Limp Bizkit concert proved that hardcore wrestling is bad and hardcore music is even worse. He says there are a lot of great music groups out there, like The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, and Britney Spears (whom Corino calls his soon-to-be-girlfriend), calling it "real music" that is not generated for high school dropouts like the people in the crowd. He says there is one man who was stupid enough to start the hardcore revolution, and that man is "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. The crowd chants for Dusty as he is seen in the back of the crowd. Corino says Paul Heyman might bleep it out now that he has mentioned his name, then thanks Dusty for "ruining every one of these people's lives," since 90% of them are probably drunk right now. Dusty leaves, but Corino says he is not done with him and then says he left his spine at the last place that he killed. Dusty Rhodes then stands at the aisle leading up to the ring. Joey Styles tells Dusty to stop, but Dusty tosses Jack Victory's wheelchair away. Corino says he is a big boy and that he has beat everybody in the locker room in the last year, and that he will not let "an old fossil" push him around. Dusty gets in the ring, and Corino tells him the business has changed. He says this is not 1985, and that Dusty is not the bull of the woods in his territory anymore. He says Dusty has made all these great phrases, and that he has nothing to say for himself right now as he is looking into the eyes of the future of professional wrestling. Corino says he has no respect for Dusty and never did, then he slaps him. Dusty respons by hitting Corino and Jack Victory with bionic elbows, then he slams Corino on the mat. Dusty dances around a little bit, then hits Corino with an elbow.

After the commercial break, the crowd is stil chanting for "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Dusty points at everyone in the crowd and bows.

Justin Credible says that when you are a master, it is not that hard to figure out. He tells The Sandman he is the only true master of the Singapore cane as well as the only true hardcore icon. He has beaten him once, and he will beat him again. This time, he will do it all by himself. He says it is not because he his partner does not want to help, and he does not want anybody's help. Lance Storm says that just because they stand together does not mean they cannot stand alone, as it is one more way to make an impact. Tonight, it will be at Sandman's expense, as being impact players is not just a name, it is who they are and what they do. Justin says it is not just a name, but a lifestyle, and dares The Sandman to come get some.

Spike Dudley quickly beats Uganda with a low blow followed by the Acid Drop.

Rob Van Dam says that when he and Sabu were partners and he was carrying Sabu for a tag team championship reign, he never liked sharing the ring with him. He knew then just like he knows now that the spotlight will shine bright on Van Dam, and he always has to shine in his light. He says sending him out of the ring injured was like a load being lifted off his shoulders, but he knows he will always come back. When he does, he will keep beating his ass and he will not take the World Television title away from him. He says there is a reason why he holds the Television title, as he is "the whole fuckin' show."

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against 2 Cold Scorpio. At one point in the match, Jazz tries to save 2 Cold Scorpio from going through a table, and Scopio goes for a top rope drop kick. Both he and Jazz pin Awesome, but it only leads to a two-count.

Justin Credible and "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason are in the ring. Justin says there is a guy in ECW who walks around drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, and another guy in ECW with the nerve to carry around a Singapore cane just like his. However, there is ony one man in ECW with a big stick, and you are looking at him. Jason says that tonight, he personally made sure that there is only one cane in the locker room, and this is to get The Sandman in the ring. It becomes apparent that Jason has stolen The Sandman's Singapore cane, Sure enough, The Sandman shows up through the crowd with a broom.

Justin Credible beats The Sandman. During the match, Rhino runs into the ring and Gores both men through the timekeeper's table. When The Sandman goes for a White Russian Leg Sweep on Justin Credible and tries to get a steel chair out of his hands, Lance Storm runs in and hits a springboard drop kick on The Sandman to give Justin Credible the win. After the match, Lance Storm attacks The Sandman, but "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer goes after him while Francine and Dawn Marie have a catfight. Rhino runs back in and grabs Fracince, but Draemer hits him a steel chair. Lance Storm hits Dreamer with a springboard drop kick, then Justin Credible grabs the microphone and says that's not just the coolest, that's not just the best...that's Justin Credible.
