He says nobody cares about the chairs or tables and that The Network is all the show needs, and that "Mr. Nielsen is popping one off right now." As The Network claps in celebration, Cyrus says he is proud of Scotty Anton, as the network is planning on getting behind him and Anton is considered "a quality human being." He says that Anton has lived in the shadow of one Rob Van Dam, and that for too long, Anton has been known simply as "Rob Van Dam's best friend." Cyrus announces that from this point forward, he will be known as "Rob Van Dam's bitch," except when he shows what Rob Van Dam's friendship was worth to The Network. Cyrus then asks Anton to tell the fans who he is, and Anton says he is here to give every one of the fans "the clap" before The Network claps. Cyrus then tells Anton that he knows he is a fighter, but ever since he joined The Network, they have had "some action with the ladies," and he wants him to concentrate on being a lover and giving people "the clap." Cyrus then says that with the network, it is all about the ratings and that having two wrestlers with the same hair color is "a ratings killer." He then introduces Jerry Lynn - who is now back in action - to the ring for the next match.

Jerry Lynn beats Tajiri following interference from The Network (Cyrus, Steve Corino, Jack Victory, Scotty Anton).

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 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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

Suddenly, Rob Van Dam returns on the shoulders of Scotty Anton with Bill Alfonso in tow.

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.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for March 31, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. After Gertner tells the crowd that "ECW carries TNN" and that TNN would be "shitty" without them, Cyrus can be heard saying "Excuse me." Gertner responds, "I swear on my life, if he comes out here, I'll beat the piss out of him!" Styles tells Gertner "You can have what I leave behind!" Cyrus shows up with Tajiri, and the crowd chants "We want Sandman!" Cyrus says he is the man who brings the fans Rollerjam and calls himself "The Ayatollah of Rock 'n Bowl-ah" before warning Gertner not to soil himself as he can let Tajiri loose at the drop of a pin. Cyrus then says the network has a situation with Super Crazy, and says he has been frustrated by letting the talent handle network business. This leads to a "Super Crazy" chant from the crowd. He says that a talent has not gotten the job done, so tonight, he and the network take control. After he says that he can hold his own in the ring, he announces he will face Super Crazy in a wrestling match and restore the ECW World Television Championship to the network because "idiots like Tajiri" are not getting the job done. Tajiri takes offense to that comment, and Cyrus says something to him in Japanese before threatening to revoke his work visa and send him back to jobbing to Abdullah the Butcher in Big Japan and accusing Gertner and Styles of wanting him deported. Tajiri turns back towards Styles and Gertner, then Cyrus says that the network takes control and that he will don the tights and face Super Crazy for the World Television title.

We hear from Danny Doring and Roadkill, who calls out The New Dangerous Alliance (C.W. Anderson and Billy Wiles), saying they will get their hands on them. As for Elektra, Doring calls her "a used Kleenex in the peep show booth of life." All of a sudden, Angel shows up and asks where "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer, as he wants to collect on the hit on Dreamer. Angel the accuses Doring of stepping up to him, and Doring says he has no problem with Angel before telling Angel he should be more concerned about having a problem with him. Doring then punches Angel, and Tony DeVito jumps in, immediately starting a tag team brawl. Grimes also shows up with a trash can which soon meets the back of Roadkill, and Da Baldies (Angel, DeVito, Grimes) quickly come out on top in the brawl.

Tajiri beats Little Guido.

We hear from Mike Awesome and "Judge" Jeff Jones. Jones says that Awesome's fist is like a judge's gavel, and when one is in contempt of Jones' court, Awesome will keep pounding. Awesome says he is ECW World Heavyweight Champion, and anyone who tries to take the title away from him is taking money out of his pocket. Awesome also says he has bled across four continents for the title, and nobody will take it away from him as it is the only belt in the world that matters today.

We see the word "Hell" written next to the first floor button on an elevator. When the elevator door opens, we see The Sinister Minsiter, who uses tarot cards to mention various ECW wrestlers and make a swipe at Diamond Dallas Page (saying that if he doesn't bring Kimberly, they won't book him). When The Sinister Minister laughs, Mikey Whipwreck is then seen underneath the table laughing with him.

Before the next match, Danny Doring and Roadkill proposes a Kansas City Street Fight against Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes). Angel tells Doring and Roadkill that they don't have the props or the pull to face them, and tells them that they don't have a second partner.

That friend is "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer.

Danny Doring, Roadkill and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beat Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes).

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show, and Gertner calls Cyrus his "personal bitch" during the naughty nickname of the week. Styles then introduces Super Crazy, who heads to the ring. He says something in Spanish, then it is announced that Super Crazy's first defense of the ECW World Television Championship will be against Tajiri, who also shows up. Cyrus then shows up immediately afterwards, and reminds everyone that he is the network. Cyrus then announces that Tajiri vs. Super Crazy for the Television title is a match that Tajiri is very good at and has never lost in: a Japanese Death Match. Styles says Cyrus is stacking the deck against Super Crazy, but Cyrus tells Styles to keep his mouth shut and tells Gertner to "get his fatfuck ass out of the ring." Gertner takes his tie off and threatens to beat Cyrus up, but Cyrus threatens to call the cops and have him arrested before having him off the network forever. He also tells Gertner that "they will enjoy [him] in prison" because "there's a lot of [him] to go around." Gertner throws his tie and him, then he leaves. Styles, on the other hand, takes his jacket off and hands them and his glasses to the referee, and Cyrus dares Styles to hit him so he can be in jail with Gertner "getting stuffed like an Italian sausage" sd ECW is taken off the network. Cyrus dares Styles to hit him so he can send ECW back to the stone age, saying he will "take it for the network." Styles eventually walks away.

Rhino also hits Super Crazy with a piledriver before the show fades to black.

Cyrus tells everyone in the crowd that nobody - not Super Crazy, not The Sandman - stands up to the network, and there is anybody in the back or anywhere in the building or the state who has the guts to stand up to the network, then he suggests that they meet the network face-to-face right now. That challenged is answered by Balls Mahoney, and Steve Corino, Rhino and Jack Victory back away. Cyrus mouth soff at Balls Mahoney only to find out that he is the only other person in the ring. Cyrus tries to beg Balls Mahoney off, but Corino and Rhino ambush Balls from behind before they and Jack Victory stomp him a few times. Cyrus then says nobody stands up to the network.

In footage from earlier today, Angel and Big Vito find "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer at a Coke machine. Angel tells Dreamer that somebody has put a hit on him, and that they are here to collect. Angel and Vito then attack Dreamer along with Grimes, then Vito says that this is just business before Angel says it's time to see Raven to collect on the hit.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beats Grimes after Grimes misses a somersault senton onto Dreamer and lands back first on a ladder.

The Sinister Minister, Judge Jeff Jones and Mike Awesome are in the ring. The Sinister Minister says it was his idea of bringing together the sacred and the profane, and that it was his idea to make Mike Awesome and Raven a tag team. He also says it was his plan that made them ECW World Tag Team Champions. He then says you have to give the devil his due. Suddenly, Francine shows up, and The Sinister Minister calls her "the whore of Babylon" before telling her that just like the serpent tempted Eve into the Garden of Eden, he will give her the microphone as everyone would love to hear what "pearly gobs of wisdom" will ooze out of her mouth. He then tells her to do everyone a favor and show everyone her intelligence. Francine finds the "give the devil his due" laughable, and says that nobody even knows The Sinister Minister's name, unlike herself, who everyone knows and loves. She then says she is the Queen of Extreme, and that she has managed the World Heavyweight Champion, the World Television Champion and the World Tag Team Champions as well as gotten "The Innovator of Violence' Tommy Dreamer to a championship. She then says that she was the one to accomplish everything that The Sinister Minister is trying to take credit for, and that everyone in the crowd knows how hot she is and that every man in the crowd would love to have her, but nobody in the crowd is man enough to have her. She demands credit for Raven and Mike Awesome's title reign, for when she left Dreamer to go with Raven, and Raven won the tag team titles. After Francine asks "What about me? What about Francine?", The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) show up.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for March 3, 2000

Backstage, Mike Awesome calls out Spike Dudley for putting "Judge" Jeff Jones in the hospital and trying to take the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from him, telling him he will kick his ass as their feud is now personal. He plans to give Spike an awesome beating.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Spike Dudley following an Awesome Bomb through a table in the corner.

We hear from Masato Tanaka, then Dawn Marie shows up and tells him to shut up. Tanaka says something, then Dawn Marie tells him to learn English. Tanaka then pits his hands on Dawn Marie's face only to get attacked by The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm).

Jack Victory and Steve Corino - dressed like cowboys - are in the ring with Erik Watts, who is wearing the Mid-South Wrestling Heavyweight title. Lou E. Dangerously is in the corner near Erik Watts. Corino says that he was allowed to pick Watts as his opponent tonight because they are a lot alike and that they believe in the same things. They do not believe in putting people through tablesor in the art of getting bashed in the head with a steel chair, or want to bleed for the people. He says that "back in the old-schoool," when Erik's father "Cowboy" Bill Watts was carrying "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and they drew sell-out house shows across Americas, "Cowboy" Bill never went against the old-school philosophy, and for that, he wants to give the people an old-fashioned Texas Bullrope match (which was Dusty Rhodes' specialty). He plans to make Erik Watts bleed and cry as he drags him to all four corners of the ring until he tells Corino that he is the new American Dream, even though the only thing that is saving Erik's life is that he is not "a piece of crap" like the people of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who have a baseball team so pathetic that they are beginning to move to New Jersey and whose greatest hero is "the late Crusher." Corino then says that The Crusher was a closet homosexual and a sexual deviant like the people in the crowd. Suddenly, state-appointed referee H.C. Lopez gets in Corino's face and says he's from Milwaukee, but Corino tells him he's not talking to him. Lopez tells Corino to shut up and get on with his match, as he would not last an hour in Milwaukee. Corino whacks Lopez with the cowbell and busts him poen, and Jack Victory and Erik Watts take the boots to Lopez. Corino tells the people to chant for Dusty all they want, as he stretched all the ligaments in Dusty's knee and forced him to retire last week. He then asks Dusty for one favor: come out of retirement one more time and face him in an old-school style bullrope match, as everyone knows that Dusty is a coward as well as the man who killed Jim Crockett's promotion. Corino says that WWF almost went bankrupt in 1989 due to Dusty, and accuses him of cutting the brake lines on Magnum T.A.'s car. He asks if Dusty is brave enough to face him, then says that when he beats him in his own game and leaves him lying in his own blood, he wants Dusty to tell him he is the new American Dream.

Super Crazy beats Little Guido and Tajiri in a three-way dance.

Cyrus, who calls the three-way dance a ratings killer, sics Rhyno on Super Crazy, and Super Crazy gets Gored for standing up to the network. Cyrus stays that nobody stands up to the network.

Before the next match, Francine says it is wonderful that "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer is apologizing to her tonight and that he has also apologized to Raven as well; however, he DDT'd her on purpose last week, that he knew what he was doing and that he was planning on getting rid of her for months. She then asks if the fans come to see "his ass" or "[her] tits," and the crowd cahtsn "Show your tits!" Francine then says that just like how Pete Rose gambled his career away and wasn't talented enough to make the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame, Dreamer is not talented enough to survive in ECW without her as his manager, as she got him over in the company. Francine then asks what Dreamer ever did that made a difference in the company before she started managing him, and says he did nothing without her. She then asks "What about Raven?" and while Dreamer needs her, Raven wants her. Dreamer says that since Raven wants her, she might as well get out of the ring and get out of Cincinnati, Ohio, as not only is she believing his crap, but she is "believing her own bullshit." Francine slaps Dreamer, and almost eats a piledriver until Raven saves her and hit Dreamer with an Evenflow DDT. Raven then leaves with Francine, and Raven has a staredown with Justin Credible as he, Lance Storm and Dawn Marie show up. The Impact Players (Justin and Storm) attack Dreamer as Justin calls Dreamer "a loser just like everybody in Cincinnati." He says that Dreamer does not have a partner in the world now that Francine has left him. Dreamer tries to fight back, but the numbers game quickly catches up to him. Before they can hit Dreamer with a spike piledriver into a steel chair, however, Masato Tanaka runs in and fights The Impact Players. This leads to an impromptu match.

Masato Tanaka and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer beat The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) to become the ECW World Tag Team Champions!

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

Backstage, Francine finds Raven in a darkened room and tries to get him to the ring so he and "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer can face Rhino and Steve Corino tonight. Raven refuses to wrestle tonight, saying he does everything for everybody else and never gets thanked for it. He also says that his father was right about him, and that he is useless without the tag team titles. Tommy Dreamer shows up and demands he get up and go, but Raven refuses, and Francine has to tell Dreamer to leave Raven be.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. As Gertner makes fun of Cyrus and makes a reference to fellatio, the camera cuts to the production truck, where Cyrus shuts the broadcast off and tells the audience that he has a five wrestlers who want their releases and are going to walk if Gertner is no longer color commentator. He says everyone has better things to do with their time than seeing Gertner put himself over, such as last week's confrontation between Rob Van Dam and Mike Awesome, which is replayed.

Backstage, "Judge" Jeff Jones has a few things to clear up. Mike Awesome tells Jones to forget about Rob Van Dam, as tonight is about Spike Dudley. He is ECW World Heavyweight Champion because he is awesome, and he is focused on beating Spike Dudley and putting him through a table. He admits Spike proved how tough he can be at Guilty As Charged, but he also showed how tough he can be. If Spike wants to challenge him for the World title, all he has to do is get in the ring, as he will kick his ass all over the arena.

Tajiri beats Little Guido. During the match, it is announced that New Orleans Saints starting tight end Josh Wilcox will volunteer to be "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer's partner against Rhino and Steve Corino later tonight. Also, Big Sal E. Graziano gets on the apron with a steel chair, but Tajiri drop kicks him off.

We hear from Rob Van Dam and Bill Alfonso. RVD tells Sabu not to think he doesn't appreciate what he has done for him, and that he hopes he understands that the student has betterd the master and that he is better than Sabu. He says it bothers Sabu that he was destined for great things, and he would have still let Sabu carry his bags and even the ECW World Television Championship, but Sabu didn't want it that way. Since Sabu knows he can't beat him, he attacks him along with Mike Awesome in an attempt to bring him down, but he can't be brought down. RVD tells Sabu he will continue to kick his ass for as long as he comes around. As for Mike Awesome, he's a "big motherfucker" and a hell of a World Champion, and while he is World Champion for now, RVD has held the World Television title for almost two years because he is the best wrestler in the business, meaning Awesome is not as good as he is. RVD says Awesome knows he is the better wrestler, which is why the crowd cheers for RVD and he knows he is the best. He then says there is a reason why he is called "the whole fuckin' show."

Rhino and Steve Corino beat "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Josh Wilcox after Wilcox turns on Dreamer with a steel chair. After the match, Wilcox takes a bunch of money from Jack Victory, then Francine gets on top of Wilcox only to be plucked away and taken to the back by Rhino. Corino commends Wilcox on doing good for himself, then they both hug. Wilcox turns on the fans, saying that they booed the Saints and that the fans suck, not the New Orleans Saints. Wilcox goes on to say he takes pride in his job whiel the "unemployed bastards" in the crowds are drinking beer, then tells the crowd to kiss his ass. Corino tells the New Orleans, Louisiana crowd that Wilcox is the real savior of the Saints, then calls out "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Dusty shows up, then punches both Wilcox and Victory repeatedly. Corino gets behind him only to get kicked in the groin before receiving an elbow to the head, then Wilcox becomes the recipient of a bionic elbow.

Mike Awesome retains the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Spike Dudley. After the match, referee Mike Kehner eats an Awesome Bomb. Awesome then tells Rob Van Dam that if he is not laid up in a hospital somewhere and if he has the balls, then he can come to the ring and show how awesome he can be. RVD and Bill Alfonso show up, but Sabu attacks RVD from behind and the two of them brawl at ringside. Awesome goes for a leap over the top rope onto RVD, but RVD sidesteps and Awesome hits Sabu instead. The show ends with RVD hitting a somersault senton on both Sabu and Awesome.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for January 21, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show. Gertner insults Cyrus by calling him a schmuck, then Cyrus shows up. Cyrus tells the crowd they have heat with the office, and that nobody has more heat with the office than Gertner. He says that contrary to popular opinion, he has been in Gertner's corner since day one and wants him to be the best he can be. He has censored him, called him into the office for meetings, warned him publicly and privately both on TNN and in front of the boys, and tells him that the "dirty middle name" thing is not over and that he will have to be a little more creative, because the next time he ignores his authority, he will kick his fat ass. Joey Styles has to hold Gertner back from beating up Cyrus, and the crowd chants "Let him go!"

The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and Dawn Marie show up as Cyrus leaves and Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner are still in the ring. Justin says they are not ones to say "We told you so," but they told them so. They said they would become ECW World Tag Team Champions and make an impact. Tonight, the establishment wants them to defend the tag titles, but they are running the show and they will defend the titles here tonight. Suddenly, "Dastardly" Danny Doring, Electra and Roadkill show up. Doring tells The Impact Players they will not disappoint the people and that they will put the titles on the night against him and Roadkill. Storm asks who they think they are, and calls them "a couple of opening match guys" before saying the only thing main event about them is Electra's breasts. He asks them who they have beaten aside from no-talent, one-dimensional jobbers, and says beating them takes them to mid-card, and if they can beat a mid-card team, only then will they consider having a match with them. Until then, Doring and Roadkill (whom Storm calls a "newly-elevated mid-card team") will face a "newly demoted mid-card team" in "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Raven. Dreamer and Raven run into the ring, with Dreamer carrying a steel chair, and they have a match.

"Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill beat "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Raven. During the match, Francince confronts Electra, but Dawn Marie runs into the ring and hits Francine in the back of the head with a foreign object. Raven then carries Francine to the back and is not seen for the rest of the match. Later on in the match, Rhino, Jack Victory and Steve Corino run into the ring, and Rhino hits Dreamer with a piledriver. Doring hits a top rope leg drop for the win. After the match, Jack Victory and Steve Corino take the boots to Dreamer, and Corino knocks referee John Finegan out of the ring. Corino and Victory are still attacking Dreamer when "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes comes out of the road, gets in the ring, and beats them both up. Rhino then gets back in the ring and takes Dusty down, and he, Corino and Victory take the boots to him until The Sandman arrives. Rhino tries to gore the Sandman and runs into the ring post, and THe Sandman strikes Rhino with his Singapore cane.

Super Crazy beats Tajiri in a violent Mexican Deathmatch.

Mike Awesome and Judge Jeff Jones are in the ring. Awesome says he is sure everyone saw him kick Spike Dudley's ass on pay-per-view last week, and he is sure everyone saw him knock the teeth of Spike's girlfriend right down her throat. After saying "Fuck you, Paul," He says he is the most awesome athlete in sports today and the most awesome wrestler in the business today. The crowd starts chanting for Rob Van Dam. He holds the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, which is the only title that matters in wrestling today and makes him "the whole fuckin' show." Rob Van Dam shows up along with Bill Alfonso, and RVD tells Awesome to listen to what he is thinking as he is confusing his fans with "that nonsense." He says that Awesome is a "big motherfucker" and a great champion, but no matter how good his ass kickings are, Awesome is only part of the show while he is the whole fuckin' show. Awesome sees nothing but "a puny little punk-ass Television title" around RVD's waist, while he is the heavyweight champion of the world. He lays his belt on the mat, and dares RVD to take it from him. RVD says it's about 4:20 right now, and he's got some time to burn, so they might as well do it right now. Before the match can begin, the lights go out. WHen they come back on, Sabu is in the ring with a steel chair. Awesome says something to Sabu, then the crowd chants "three-way dance." Awesome says he'll take both RVD and Sabu right now. Sabu then suddenly throws a steel chair into RVD's face, then lays another one down so that Awesome can hit RVD with an Awesome Bomb on it. Sabu then hits RVD with the triple jump moonsault followed by the Arabian Facebuster, then he knocks Bill Alfonso out on a table with a right hand before putting Alfonso through it. Spike Dudley gets in the ring and fights Awesome, but Sabu nails Spike from behind and Spike falls victim to an Awesome Bomb. Awesome and Sabu then set up a table in the middle of the ring, then Awesome and Sabu both go up top and send RVD through the table to end the show.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for January 14, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner introduce everyone to tonight's show. Before Gertner can finish his nasty nickname of the week, his microphone is cut by Cyrus, who shows up. Cyrus brings greetings from TNN headquarters in "the local vernacular" only to be told by the crowd "you suck dick." Cyrus says that the TNN office was shocked at Gertner's behavior last week, and that he was horrified when he had to cut the audio on his commentary for getting himself over. Thirty minutes ago, a "double-secret" meeting with Cyrus as the chair was held, and he now has a laundry list of things from Gertner that will no longer be , such as the use of dirty middle names to get over, the use of sexual innuendo in general, and smart remarks made towards country and Western music (including The Dukes of Hazzard jokes, Dallas jokes, jokes about inbreeding and references to Garth Brooks and his weight problems), negative remarks about Rollerjam (which leads to a "Rollerjam sucks dick!" chant), and negative remarks towards Rock 'n Bowl. He says there will be abiding to the rules as there is a new sheriff in town, and his name is Cyrus.

Super Crazy beats Little Guido after avoiding a top rope splash attempt from Big Sal E. Graziano.

We see a post-match interview from Rob Van Dam after Guilty As Charged from Rob Van Dam, who says it was a great night and a brutal night, but that it was no surprise and that Sabu could learn from that. He says Sabu put his career on the line and could have been like veryone else after the match, and considers that he owes Sabu something for being a pain in his ass all these years, like letting him carry his bags, but Sabu threatened to walk out if he lost. Sabu walked out, but he walked out a winner, and that makes him still World Television Champion and "the whole fuckin' show." He also gives Bill Alfonso a special acknowledgement, as it was a rough night for him as well. Bill Alfonso is seen pressing a towel against his right eye.

It is announced that on January 28th in the War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes and a member of the ECW locker room member of his choice will face Rhino and Steve Corino in a tag team match.

We hear from Da Baldies (Tony DeVito, Angel, Vic Grimes). DeVito tells New Jack that if he thought their rivalry would end when he broke his hand and spilled blood from all of them, he is mistaken, as they are not here to put him over or be his victims like Public Enemy or The Dudley Boyz. He says this is their turf, and they are here to conquer. At Guilty As Charged, there was a new king of the streets crowned without any help, and his name is Angel. Angel tells New Jack he showed him who is the toughest and baddest, and he will take on his entire family as he is the new king of the streets and the streets will always belong to Da Baldies.

We see post-match footage from Guilty As Charged where Mike Awesome tells Spike Dudley that he earned his respect, as he can take one hell of an ass beating. However, Awesome himself can give one hell of an ass beating, so if Spike wants to take the ECW World Heavyweight Championship from him, all he has to do is get to the ring so he can see how close to death he can take him.

Jerry Lynn beats Tajiri after responding to a kick to the groin with a punch to Tajiri's groin.

We see a post-match interview from The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) from Guilty As Charged.

Storm asks how hard it is to get a title off the waist of a guy from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and tells us to "go ask Vince McMahon."

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for December 31, 1999

Lance Storm tells "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to pray that his savior resurrect himself before Easter and by Guilty As Charged, because whether he comes alone or with his crucified savior, he and Justin Credible will take the tag team titles away from them. Justin then says that if you think The Impact Players (Justin, Storm) have no conscience, then they are guilty as charged.

We see footage of the end of last week's main event.

Raven says he has been crucified for the sins of his compassion, his humanity and his past. By the flesh of his flesh and the blod of his blood, he will be crucified nevermore.

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to the show. Suddenly, Mikey Whipwreck shows up. Before he can say much, however, The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm), "The Sexiest Man Alive" Jason and Dawn Marie show up. Storm tells Mikey that tonight is his lucky night and his chance to make an impact, as he has a bunch of cash for him if he can take somebody out tonight. Storm tells Mikey he sold out once and he'll sell out again. Styles tells Mikey he is no sell-out, but Mikey says he made more money than him in WCW and that his mom is happy with him for putting all his money in his piggy bank. Storm then tells Mikey that he is taking out Raven, who shows up after Jason shows Mikey the money.

Raven beats Mikey Whipwreck with a snot rag followed by the Evenflow DDT. During the match, Mikey gets on the microphone and says that he is not a baby just because he is 26 and lives at home with his mom. After the match, Raven fights off The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) but falls victim to the numbers game until "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer runs in with a steel chair.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for November 12, 1999

The show begins with Jason telling The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) that they have to leave as The Sandman is drunk, crazy and smacking police officers with his Singapore cane. Rhino shows up and says he will take the cane and shove it so far up his ass that he will have to cut his head off just to pull it back out. Storm and Dawn Marie leave, but Justin Credible sticks with Rhino. Jason, on the other hand, still wants to leave.

Raven is in the locker room bathroom...almost. Turns out, it is "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer dressed like Raven. He says Raven wants to hide behind tattoos and piercings, and tells him that life sucks and to take it on the chin. He asks Raven if he wants to destroy him and if he cares about his body, and asks Raven what he can do to him that hasn't been done before. He smacks his head into a metal panel in the wall repeately as he asks Raven if he wants to beat him, and busts himself open as he says he and Raven are bound by something stronger than love or hate: blood. He tells Raven to do the right thing.

Before the next match, Steve Corino says there are a lot of things in ECW that make him sick, but what makes him most sick is people who cry, whine, and are scared of wrestling hurt. He says he has been wrestling with a broken appendix for nine months now, and just because Jerry Lynn has a few bruised ribs, he cannot wrestle much anymore. Corino tells Jerry Lynn to get "his crippled ass" in the ring so he can end his career for good. Lynn runs into the ring, and the match begins.

Jerry Lynn beats Steve Corino, then Tajiri gets in the ring. Tariji and Lynn brawl, then Tajiri spits green mist into Lynn's face and Jack Victory holds Lynn down so that Tajiri can kick Lynn in his bruised ribs. Victory and Tajiri run away after Super Crazy runs into the ring, but a blinded Lynn punches at Tajiri, and he and Super Crazy brawl.

We see Cyrus on the phone. He hangs up when he sees the camera, and announces that at this time, ECW is happy with how Joey Styles is going, but that he cannot say the same about "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner. He says it is not how he looks or that he is 23 years old and has never paid a due in the wrestling business, but because he has heat with the boys and he gets himself over at the expense of the talent. He says that Gertner crossed the line after the incident with Taz after failing to back Joey Styles up when he got punked out on national television and "rolling around like a fat, hairy flounder" after being choked out by Taz. He says that the annoucners cannot fraternize with the talent, and he has no choice but to hold a meeting with creative and ask him to come to the office so they can discuss his future. He says that change is coming. We then see Gertner with a surprised look on his face, but Joey Styles tells him not to be paranoid as there is no creative department and that there is no office.

Tajiri beats Super Crazy. During the match, Tajiri inadvertently clotheslines referee Jim Molineaux, then Jerry Lynn runs into the ring and attacks Tajiri. Super Crazy attacks Jerry Lynn, but he falls victim to a cradle piledriver. Lynn leaves, then Tajiri hits a standing moonsault on Super Crazy for the win.

Rhino and Steve Corino are in the ring. Corino says that tonight, it is time for Rhino to go from being the best rookie that professional wrestling has ever seen to the next big thing in sports. Raven is seen watching what is going on from his dressing room before Corino calls out The Sandman.

We see Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney in the bathroom. Axl says November To Remember will not be one to remember for a lot of people anymore because they "knocked it out of their heads" when it comes to Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Skull, P.N. News), and says that when they put them through that table, they and New Jack will stand tall and prove that they are the most hardcore wrestlers in ECW. He says it felt good to see the blood come out of their bald heads, and it will feel even better when they wrap steel chair around them. As Axl is speaking, Da Baldies are hiding in the stalls, and they eventually blindside both men. Angel tells them and New Jack "Don't play a playa."

Rhyno vs. The Sandman ends in a no-contest. During the math, Jason and Justin Credible show up, and Justin hits Sandman with the Singapore cane. "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer then shows up, but he falls victim to the numbers game. Raven is seen running from the dressing room to the ring, and he comes into the ring with a steel chair and takes out Justin Credible and Jack Victory before hitting Rhino with a steel chair. Raven then extends his hand to Dreamer, then The Sandman hits Raven with the Singapore cane. Dreamer has to hold The Sandman back, but The Sandman runs back in and he has to choke him out to get him to stop.

We hear from Raven, who tells "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer that he did the right thing, then asks why he let The Sandman beat him up. He says it just like when he came home from school with an A-minus at seven years old and his dad beat the crap out of it. He says he can still smell the beer on his breath as he says that it was not good enough. When he asked his mother why, she told him that he should be lucky that is all he does to him.

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.

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.
