Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for May 12, 2000

The Sinister Minister says that when Mikey Whipwreck was only five years and his mother had him locked in his closet, she always told him not to play with matches. After somebody makes noise on the other end of a nearby door, The Sinister Minster threatens to have Whipwreck rip the cameraman's head off and make the Spanish Inquisition look like Sunday school. Suddenly, The Sinister Minster gets an idea and whispers it into Whipwreck's ear. Whipwreck tells the cameraman "you're fired" before throwing a fireball at him, then he and The Sinister Minster laugh.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer then shows up. Before he can make his first statement since losing the ECW World Heavyweight Championship at Cyberslam, Simon Diamond interrupts Dreamer before saying that he is no comedy act, then says nobody cares what Dreamer has to say, that Dreamer is not hungry anymore and that the Dreamer who "ate and drank ECW" is dead. After mocking Dreamer for not having a weapon to hit him with and asking Dreamer what he will hit him with, Dreamer hits him with a fist to the face, starting a match. After Dreamer hits Simon in the groin with the microphone, he states "Dreamer has a problem...Simon sucks dick!"

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beats Simon Diamond. During the match, the referee takes a steel chair away from Simon, causing Simon to argue with him. The Prodigy and The Prodigette fight over who gets dibs on Dreamer, and Dreamer dodges a top rope moonsault from The Prodigette before butting both of their heads into each other. Simon chops the referee in the corner, but the referee fights back and hits a few chops of his own before Dreamer hits his trademark DDT for the win.

Lance Storm beats Jerry Lynn after Justin Credible shows up and whacks Lynn with a Singapore cane - despite aiming for Storm - while referee Jim Molineaux is distracted by Dawn Marie. After the match, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer shows up, and they and Lance Storm brawl with one another. Cyrus then shows up and tells everyone that before tonight's show, TNN never wanted to come to Minneapolis, Minnesota because Cyrus - being from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - is an expert on the state of Minnesota, which he states is populated by idiots. He says that only "a state a mental retardates" would elect Jesse "The Body" Ventura for state governor, then says Jerry Lynn is not like everyone else in the state and that he will not hold being from Minnesota against him. He says that Jerry Lynn is unbelievably fantastic, then almost compares him to the Minnesota Timberwolves before remembering that they were knocked out of the NBA playoffs. He then says he is like the Minnesota Vikings because he cannot win the big one; nevertheless, he tells him he is unbelievable in the ring. He then tells him that even though Brad Rheingans taught him how to wrestle, he also taught him how to do an interview, which he calls "a ratings killer." He then states it is not about the wrestling anymore at The Network, but The Network still has a spot for someone of Lynn's talent and he has an offer he cannot refuse. He says that while Lynn can wrestle and that he is the "#1 charisma man," and offers to be his manager, saying there is nothing Lynn cannot achieve with The Network behind him. Suddenly, Tajiri shows up, and when he talks to Lynn, Cyrus smacks him on the back of the head and tells him to go away while calling him a "Jap." Lynn suddenly attacks Tajiri from behind, and Cyrus shakes his hand and welcomes him to The Network. Lynn then takes the microphone from Cyrus' hand and tells him he did it for himself, not for him or The Network. Cyrus blames everything that has happened on Tajiri after Jerry Lynn and says that he will ship him back to Tokyo and beat his ass. Steve Corino then shows up, and Cyrus leaves before Tajiri beats up Corino. Jack Victory shows up, but he gets attacked as well. Rhino then shows up and clotheslines Tajiri, and this starts a match for the ECW World Television Championship.

Corino then says "This is what we like to do to your bitch wife!" before Rob Van Dam shows up and fights Corino and Victory. Rhino and RVD fight in the corner, and RVD gets the last word with the Five Star Frog Splash to end the show.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for May 5, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcomes everyone to tonight's show. Afterwards, Justin Credible shows up with Francine. Styles says congratulations are in order, but admits that what happened with the ECW World Tag Team Championships was shocking. Francine says the only thing that is shocking is that everyone would think that she would leave herself out of the World Heavyweight Championship picture. She says she record here stands for itself, as she has managed people like "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and "that loser" Lance Storm to a world title and even managed "a has-been" like Raven and "a nothing" like "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to the tag team titles. Now, her greatest accomplishment is managing the most controversial man in wrestling today - Justin Credible - to the world title. Styles says nobody was questioning Francine's managerial acumen, then Styles reminds Justin Credible that what he did to the tag team titles were distasteful at best. Justin says what he did to the tag team titles was not just the coolest or the best, but before he can say it was just incredible, Lance Storm shows up with Dawn Marie. Lance tells Justin he trained, taught and carried him, and he did not just throw down just the tag team titles, but one of the titles that belonged to him while spitting on both him and the business. For that, Justin owes him a title, and he will either beat him for the World title or Justin will hand it over. Justin tells Storm there are two things he can do: take the World title or take his ass back to Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Storm immediately slaps Justin, starting a brawl in the middle of the ring that security and officials have to stop at ringside. Meanwhile, in the ring, Dawn Marie and Francine have a catfight, and Justin and Storm have to break that apart along with security and officials. Suddenly, Raven shows up and goes after Justin, but gets superkicked by Storm, who proceeds to hit him with an Evenflow DDT. Jazz then gets in the ring and hits Dawn Marie with a Michinoku Driver only to get superkicked by Storm. Storm then shows up and fights Storm in the ring, getting their match storm while Tommy Dreamer is seen in the crowd beating up Justin Credible.

Lance Storm beats Kid Kash after Jazz chases Dawn Marie out of the ring.

At a hotel suite, Elektra stands between Lou E. Dangerously and The New Dangerous Alliance (C.W. Anderson and "Wild" Bill Wiles), takes off her coat, and says that the situation needs a woman's touch. Lou E. knocks on the door of a nearby hotel room, and Mikey Whipwreck answers. Inside the room is The Sinister Minister, and Lou E. asks for the Minister's help in straightening up the world and tag team title pictures. The Sinister Minister tells him that if the D.A. would give him five or six minutes alone on the couch, something can be worked out. Elektra then asks The Sinister Minster "Rabbi, are those rosary beads in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?", to which the minister produces a string of beads and states "They're not exactly rosary beads." Elektra says that was not the pocket she was talking about, and the Minister proposes running them up against Elektra's bikini line. Elektra says she doesn't have a bikini line, to which the Minster responds "All the more reason for a closer inspection." Mikey Whipwreck shows up with a flaming chalice and says "I'll drink to that," then Elektra proposes showing The Sinister Minister something that is "hotter than Hell" as she takes her bra off and drops it on his head. Everyone in the room laughs.

Jerry Lynn beats Scotty Anton after Rhino Gores Anton through a table in the corner. After the match Cyrus shows up with Steve Corino and Jack Victory to congratulate Jerry Lynn on his victory. He asks Jerry Lynn to shake his hand, and Lynn shoves Bill Alfonso - who tries to reason with Lynn - before hitting Corino with a tope con hiro. Rhino and Jack Victory proceed to attack both Anton and Jerry Lynn while Cyrus yells that this is what happens when you mess with the network. Suddenly, Rob Van Dam shows up and fights Rhino, then comes face-to-face with Cyrus as Cyrus tries to sneak up on him. RVD is about to hit Cyrus with the Van Daminator when Victory and Corino blindside RVD and Rhino joins in. Yoshihiro Tajiri shows up and spits green mist in Victory's face and helps RVD fend everyone off, and RVD takes out both Anton and Lynn with a somersault over the ropes. Corino then takes the microphone and says that he and Rhino have a lucky break here, and that the odds are in their favor. He says that he is a forgiving man, as is Cyrus and the rest of his allies, and says they will forgive him if he admits he made a mistake turning on them; otherwise, it will be him and Rhino "all over [his] slanty-eyed ass." He also says that without them, Tajiri has nobody. Tajiri then pulls out a can of beer and opens it, then The Sandman shows up out of the back of the crowd and slowly heads to the ring. This leads into the next match.

Yoshihiro Tajiri and The Sandman beat The Network (Steve Corino and Rhino). During the match, The Sandman's wife, Tori Fullington, shows up with a section of guardrail and a Kendo stick before watching the match from ringside, and hits Rhino with the Kendo stick later in the match (though it is mostly to no effect).

Tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern and Pacific Time on CBS, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and New Jack guest star on Early Edition.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for March 17, 2000

The show starts with Dawn Marie raking the eyes of Nova as he faces Lance Storm. Jazz shows up and hits Dawn Marie with a bulldog, then "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason runs into the ring and brawls with Jazz only to eat the Jazz Stinger. Justin Credible superkicks Jazz in the face, then Chris Chetti fights him and kicks him off the apron. Storm hits Chetti with a superkick, then Justin Credible gets back on the apron to knee Nova in the back. Lance Storm goes for a clothesline only to knock Justin Credible back off the apron after Nova ducks, then Nova rolls Storm up for a two-count. Storm then pushes Nova out during the kick-out and Justin Credible clocks Nova in the head with a Singapore cane, then Storm beats Nova with a schoolboy pin for the win.

Rob Van Dam welcomes everyone to the show along with Bill Alfonso and Super Crazy. RVD tells Super Crazy that he could not stand the thought of Rhyno carrying the ECW World Television Championship, and hopes that Super Crazy will work hard to defend the title. He tells Super Crazy to live it up, as he is a superstar, and that he will be coming back for the title after a few weeks.

The Sandman beats Angel in a match that gets hardcore after Angel mouths off at The Sandman, and Tony DeVito smacks The Sandman in the head with his Singapore cane.

We hear from Cyrus and Rhyno. Cyrus says that when it all started, it all worked for one reason: he was smarter and Rhyno was so much tougher than everyone else. He enjoyed it, and says it was all about network business. He tells "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner that since he has picked his teeth up off the floor after he kicked him out, Gertner can enjoy himself with his dirty limericks and snarky grins, and tells everyone in ECW to enjoy themselves, as he has the power to pull the plug and send ECW back to the stone age. Cyrus says he has killed territories before and he can do it again, and says the only thing better than killing off "the ECW phenomen" is to keep it alive and play with it like a cat plays with a mouse so he can mess with it and torture it. Rhyno tells Rob Van Dam, Super Crazy and The Sandman that nobody messes with him. Cyrus tells Rhyno that the network is behind him 100%.

Before the next match, referee John Molineaux tells Steve Corino he has a match, and through Jack Victory, Molineaux tells Corino that it is against New Jack. Corino asks when he got heat with the office, as he does everything they have asked him to do; all he has asked for is to be on TV every once in a while. He says there is no way he is facing New Jack, as he is a convicted felon and a mass murderer, and asks if they watch TV in Rhode Island. New Jack then shows up with a garbage can full of weapons, then beats the crap out of Corino before fighting Jack Victory through the crowd before diving off a balcony into a table that Jack Victory is lying on. ECW security have to help New Jack - who may have hurt his ribs - back to the ring, but when New Jack gets in there, Tajiri shows up to distract Molineaux so Rhyno can Gore New Jack and place Corino on top of New Jack. Steve Corino beats New Jack.

It is announced that Spide Dudley will need knee surgery after being Biel Tossed into two tables by Rhyno last week, and that he will be out for nine months.

We hear from Raven and Francine. Raven says he understands what "The Innovator of Violence' Tommy Dreamer is going through, as he too has been left laying and had his woman taken from him. To put it in terms that Dreamer can understand, he says that life is like a game of cards, and that the cards he and Dreamer are dealt are fine-blown glass. As they build friendships and trust, they turn over more and more cards until one day, when the cards are swept off the table and shattered into pieces, and all they want are for the cards to be intact. He then asks if playing a game of cards was the point of all this in the first place, then France says "Quoth the Raven...nevermore."

Masato Tanaka vs. Mike Awesome for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, "Judge" Jeff Jones gets on the apron as Masato Tanaka has Mike Awesome pinned after the Roaring Elbow, and Raven gets in the ring to hit Tanaka with an Evenflow DDT. When referee John Finegan confronts Raven, he also falls victim to an Evenflow DDT. Mike Asesome then powerbombs Tanaka into a table on the outside. Members of the ECW locker room check on Tanaka, then "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer runs in to go after Raven. Mike Awesome attacks Dreamer along with Raven, and the bell is rung as Raven puts the snot rag on Dreamer before Dreamer gets powerbombed into a table in the corner by Mike Awesome. Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship.

After the match, Raven has a Singapore cane smashed into his forehead by Justin Credible, who is making his way towards the ring. After Justin and Storm take the boots to Dreamer and brag about it, Dreamer gets up and chases them out of the ring with a steel chair. After the Extreme Replay, Raven tells Dreamer that while he ates Justin and Storm, he hates him "fucking worse." He says he does not need Dreamer's help, as he says that Dreamer is like everyone else and wants to leech off his stardom. He calls him a dirtball and a degenerate, and says he is filled with decadence and debauchery and that all he wants to be is him. He then hits Dreamer with the microphone before hitting him with another Evenflow DDT.

In footage from earlier tonight, Nova says everybody in the locker room has their motivation and everyone at home has their own problems. He says that Chris Chetti was injured at Anarchy Rulz, and from now on, he will dedicate every match he wrestles in ECW from here on out to him.

Axl raises Jazz's hand in victory.

Next week: a November To Remember preview! The "Catfight Wars" continue! A WCW hardcore star will jump into the ring...and WCW doesn't even know about it yet!

We see footage where Raven talks about how he got beaten up earlier and how the EMTs had to bandage him up. Once again, he is alone with his demons, but he takes solace in the fact of all the misery he will bring to Tommy Dreamer and The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm). He says Dreamer will never ascend to the heights he has reached, and that Justin Credible will never be him, no matter what he does.

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.

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.

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.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for October 8, 1999

The show starts with Paul Heyman advertising an interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch (formerly Sunny), which plans to blow the roof off the wrestling industry by describing the trials and tribulations of being a female superstar in the wrestling world in the late 1990s. Joey Styles goes so far as to say that this interview is an exposé. We then see Sytch in action at ECW Arena in August 29, 1998, followed by a short video package of Sytch.

In a replay from Anarchy Rulz, Tajiri beats Super Crazy and Little Guido in an elimination three-way dance.

We see the interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch. Sytch says that at the now-defunct Smokey Mountain Wrestling, "we felt like we were really cool, we felt on top of the world at that moment." In the WWF, she received her big break became Sunny, and quickly rose in popularity, receiving fame and adulation. We got back to Sytch, who mentions that there is a whole website dedicated to her feet, and says there are better parts of her than her feet to look at (although she admits she likes her feet). However, fame took its toll. Sytch says there are many reactions to the pressure put on her, and prescription drug abuse was one of the worst. She took Soma - also known as Carisoprodol - and says drugs were very easy to come by. One of her friends even died from mixing Soma with alcohol. That friend was Louie Spicolli, who had a fun night with friends when he combined Soma with alcohol, then went back home, went to sleep and never woke up aside for one time at six in the morning to turn off his answering machine before choking to death due to the paralyzing effect from combining Carisoprodol with alcohol.

In a replay from Anarchy Rulz, Lance Storm beats Jerry Lynn with a three-quarter nelson grapevine pin after Jerry Lynn can barely stand. During the match, Dawn Marie stops two pinfall attempts by Jerry Lynn, one by dropping a chair on referee John Finegan and the other by placing Storm's foot on the rope.

We see more of the interview with Tammy Lynn Sytch, who says that she was considered "old" by 1997, even though she was only 24. She mentions how she was known as "the Kliq chick," since she was nice to the Kliq - Kevin Nash (Diesel), Scott Hall (Razor Ramon), Paul Levesque (Hunter Hearst Helmsley), Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman (The 1-2-3 Kid) - and they were nice to her, and she even made their hotel reservations for them. She preferred to be pushed on her own talent instead of whom she is friends with, dating with, sleeping with or eating dinner with, and that she would rather be herself and pushed as what she does and how she can do it. When she left the WWF, it was like a weight was lifted off of her shoulders, as she felt she could relax, have a home and relax, but she felt she wasn't there yet and that she was digging a deeper hole for herself. She was too relaxed in her environment to the point that she had her first drink at home, because she didn't have any pills to get her to go to back to sleep. There have been times that when her dad and niece died, she wanted to be with them. Her niece Stacy was only 16 when she died, and when she went to the hospital, she was on life support. When he held her hand, Stacy went cold and she could not let her go. There were some nights when she hoped she would not wake up the next morning, and says it was the worst feeling in the world to know that you don't care if you wake up the next morning. The interview ends with Sytch you can talk about your Sables and your Debras, your Nitro Girls and your Dawn Maries, but she is going to set the standard by which every girl in the business in the world again, because she is alive and she is back.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for September 17, 1999

Little Spike Dudley quickly beats P.N. News with the Acid Drop.

It is announced than an ECW wrestler has been injured in a locker room incident, but not much else is known.

Super Crazy beats Tajiri.

We see Raven near a playground swing set. He says that for two-and-a-half years, he and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer fought a battle of mystical proportions, a friendship based on love and a hatred based on friendship. Dreamer scarred his face and battered him unmercifully, and he took his girl. However, the one thing Dreamer could ever do was beat him, as he always pinned him. After he came to ECW to exorcise his demons two-and-a-half years ago, it was time for Dreamer to graduate, so he gave him his victory. In that time, he stayed away from ECW, and with him gone, Dreamer's life lost it meaning, his career its purpose, and his relationship with Beulah McGillicutty lost its foundation. He says Dreamer lost his focus and lost the girl. He says Keyser Söze once said that the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he did not exist, and he tells Dreamer he exists and that he is going to be his own personal demon, as this savior has already been crucified for his sins.

"The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason gets in the ring, and it is revealed that Johnny Smith has aligned himself with The Impact Players, Dawn Marie and Jason, who all celebrate in the ring.

After the commercial break, Rob Van Dam is in the ring with Bill Alfonso. RVD tells Jerry Lynn to wait, and propose something, saying he feels like tonight's crowd: fucked. He says that when the crowd pays to see RVD, they know they get their money's worth. He says he didn't kick enough ass in three minutes, and asks Jerry Lynn to come in the ring so he can kick his ass some more. Jerry Lynn shows up, and the . Lynn says that after what they went through, he can barely stand up, but he can also barely stand not having the Television title around his waist.

Rob Van Dam retains the ECW World Television Championship against Jerry Lynn. At one point in the match, Jerry Lynn gets put through a table outside of the ring, and almost injures himself to the point that he cannot go as he complains about stitches opening up, and as everyone - including Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso - clap as Lynn heads to the stretcher, Lynn turns around and gets back in the ring for more. Both men shake hands after the match.
