Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for June 14, 2019



The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) beat Sabu and Rob Van Dam. During the match, Moose pushes Rob Van Dam off the top rope, stopping a stereo splash through a table on Alexander. After the match, Tommy Dreamer tosses Moose into the ring, and Sabu and RVD get the last word. Moose manages to escape, however.





Backstage, Moose and The North ("All Ego" Ethan Page and "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander) have an argument, and Moose says he will take out not only Rob Van Dam, but the entire ECW Original contingent on his own, starting with Tommy Dreamer.

Havok beats Masha Slamovich. After the match, Father James Mitchell tells Rosemary to take care of her anger problems, as she leaves collateral damage every time she causes trouble. He says that he tried to warn her after she stole Su Yung and reminded her of the consequences of her actions, but then she put her hands on him, and for that, he sicced Havok on her. He says that Havok's actions broke the curse of the demon collar and that Taya Valkyrie was in the way, and that he has decided to see to it that Havok becomes the next Knockouts Champion while using Rosemary's carcass as a launch pad.





Raj Singh beats Cody Deaner after Gama Singh fakes a heart attack when Cousin Jake gets his hands on him, allowing Rohit Raju to land a cheap shot on Cody Deaner so Raj Singh can get the win.



Backstage, Melissa Santos interviews "Unbreakable" Michael Elgin, who says that Willie Mack is stubborn and still wants him one-on-one. As he says an ambulance is on-site waiting for him, Johnny Impact shows up with John E. Bravo. Elgin tells Johnny to keep the number for the ambulance on speed-dial in case he steps to him again. Johnny says he is just offering help, but Elgin says he does not need it from him or from John E. Bravo.

We hear from Rosemary, who says that Father James Mitchell loves the sound of his own voice and that she is a creature of action. While Havok and Mitchell may have gotten the better of her last week, she asks what will make Havok any different when Mitchell could not control Su Yung. She then says that the shadow has put her on a mission to take back the Knockouts Championship, and if Mitchell wants that collateral damage he keeps talking about, she is more than happy to give it to him.



The Impact Plus Moment of the Week is Dixie Carter being put through a table on August 7, 2014.

Backstage, Alisha Edwards and Masha Slamovich are met in the women's locker room by Sami Callihan, who is soon confronted by Tessa Blanchard. Sami tells Tessa she doesn't belong in the ring against his men in oVe, but Tessa says that is exactly where she belongs and proposes a match against Jake Crist next week. Sami says he is glad they are able to do this the easy way.



Kiera Hogan - now with a new entrance theme - guests on commentary for the next match.

Madison Rayne beats Jordynne Grace following the distraction by Kiera Hogan.



We see a video package chronicling the rivalry between Killer Kross and Eddie Edwards prior to Kross' match against Sandman coming up next.

Killer Kross beats The Sandman with the Kross Jacket. After the match, Killer Kross refuses to let go of the Kross Jacket, and Eddie Edwards runs into the ring and fights Kross, sending him out of the ring.



At the bar, Konnan tells Santana and Ortiz that there is no reason for them despite how they won, as they almost got beaten by The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) last week. Suddenly, The Rascalz show up, wanting a rematch. Konnan commends The Rascalz for stepping up, but when Zachary Wentz demands respect, this leads to a brawl between both sides which ends in Santana and Ortiz laying The Rascalz out. They then tell The Rascalz that if they want a rematch, they've got it. A friend then shows up - who is actually Laredo Kid in street clothes - and takes something out of one of The Rascalz' pockets.



Taya Valkyrie shows up for The Smoke Show with John E. Bravo. After an awkward interview, it becomes known that Taya Valkyrie's 30-day title defense time limit is about to expire, and that Taya will have to defend the Impact Knockouts Championship against Su Yung. Taya becomes grossed out at the thought of wrestling Su Yung with the title on the line and hastily leaves.



Next week: Su Yung vs. Taya Valkyrie for the Impact Knockouts Championship! Tessa Blanchard vs. Sami Callihan! Moose vs. Tommy Dreamer! Also, The Latin-American Xchange (Santana and Ortiz) will be defending the Impact Tag Team Championships against The Rascalz (Dezmond Xavier, Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz) at Slammiversary!

"Unbreakable" Michael Elgin beats Willie Mack after taking out Rich Swann on the outside. After the match, Elgin is about to powerbomb Willie Mack again when Rich Swann stops him. Johnny Impact runs in and takes down Swann, then shakes hands with Elgin only to get suplexed. Elgin then sends Willie Mack into the ring post on the outside.





Here are the top five moments from tonight's show!

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 3, 2018

Before the next match, Bully Ray - who shows up with a manila envelope with "Flip Punishment" on it - mentions that if "The Last Real Man" Silas Young wins, then he can do whatever he wants to do to Flip Gordon; likewise, if Flip wins, he can do whatever he can do to Bully Ray. When Flip shows up (with a manila envelope saying "Bully Ray Punishment"), he points to the commentary table, revealing that his mystery partner is Colt Cabana. Bully Ray is not impressed with Flip's choice - having beaten Colt Cabana in Las Vegas, Nevada - but Colt Cabana says he is here to see what Bully Ray's face would look like when he finds out it is not him, but instead, it is The Sandman, who shows up out of the crowd with a can of beer and a Singapore cane.

"The Last Real Man" Silas Young beats The Sandman in a Pick Your Punishment Match. After the match, Bully Ray announces that Flip Gordon will take ten shots from The Sandman's Singapore cane. (The ten lashes are edited and censored for international TV, with the full, uncut footage appearing on Honor Club.) During the beating, Bully Ray gives Flip the opportunity to say "I quit," which Flip rejects. As Flip takes the lashes, more and more people from the locker room show up to watch and confront Bully Ray, and "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and gets in the ring to tell Flip to take it, as does everyone else who has showed up to watch. Bully Ray gives Flip another chance to quit, and Flip replies with "Fuck you!" The tenth Singapore cane shot ends up being a low blow, and Bully Ray has to defend himself on his way to the back.

"The Exotic Goddess" Mandy Leon guests on commentary for the next match.

Jenny Rose, Madison Rayne and Sumie Sakai beat Karen Q, Britt Baker and Kelly Klein after Kelly Klein refuses to be a team player.

We hear from The Kingdom (Matt Taven, Vinny Marseglia, TK O'Ryan). Vinny Marseglia asks Jay Lethal if the underside of the ring looks familiar, and Taven says the red balloons were the last thing Lethal says before he popped his bubble showed him who the real World champion is. TK O'Ryan says Lethal and Johnathan Gresham's mystery does not scare them, and tells Lethal to "go ahead and call Will Ospreay." Marseglia then says to check under the ring, whoever you are.

Jay Lethal guests on commentary for the next match.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes beats Kenny King by disqualification. During the match, Kenny King throws an elbow pad at Brandi Rhodes, and Cody Rhodes grabs the IWGP United States Championship to use as a weapon. Senior referee Todd Sinclair is brought in as an enforcer. After that, King kicks Cody in the groin, then Jay Lethal runs out from the commentary table and tries to talk sense into Kenny King. Kenny King responds by hitting Kenny King with the IWGP United States title from behind.

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 April 7, 2000

Joey Styles and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner welcome everyone to tonight's show, then interview Raven and Francine. Raven says that because of the levels of depravity he has obtained, he knows Joey Styles is wondering why he put a bounty on "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer's head. He then says that Styles puts too much stock on the Internet and dirt sheets, and says he has nothing to do with the bounty on Dreamer's head. When Styles tells Raven that he heard Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes) say he did it, Francine tells Styles that she has known him for six years, and asks him who he is going to believe: her or Da Baldie. She also says she is a "Baldie" herself, but she can't show people on television. She then says that she knows who put the hit on Dreamer, and that she knows it is not Raven. When Styles guesses that Francine put out the hit, Francine tells Styles she never liked him anyway and chews him out for accusing her. Suddenly, Da Baldies show up, and Angel says Raven knows he put the hit on Dreamer, and asks if he smells fear on Raven. Raven says he smells his mom, and that is only because he had ten dollars on him. This leads to Raven receiving a beating from Da Balides while Styles he;ps Francine get out of the ring.

We hear from The Sinister Minister, who says that "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer rolled the dice of fate and crapped out, as word on the street says that Raven put the hit out on him. He says that Raven has the ethics of a weasel and the loyalty of a drowning rat, and this is why he likes him. However, he says Raven refutes that and that Raven always tells the truth when he lies. He says the only thing certain around here is that someone is pulling an awful lot of strings. As he laugs, the camear pans downwards as The Sinister Minister plays with giant puppet strings as a laughing Mikey Whipwreck - who is tied to the strings - is seen below.

Steve Corino beats Kid Kash. During the match, Kid Kash drop kicks Jack Victory into referee Mike Kehner, and this allows Rhino to gore Kid Kash on the second try after Kid Kash leaps after the first one.

Backstage, Big Sal E. Graziano says that he and Little Guido will bring the ECW World Television Championship back to the man who deserves it most. Suddenly, Cyrus shows up and gives Little Guido an opportunity, and tells him that his TV title match next week will be a three-way dance also involving Tajiri. He says that Tajiri is taken care of and that after Tajiri does all the work, Little Guido will be television champion. Little Guido says he can take Tajiri and Super Crazy, and that he can take everybody.

Backstage, Cyrus talks with Tajiri, telling him he is in a three-way dance for the ECW World Television Championship, and that he has made it so that Tajiri will win the TV title.

Super Crazy retains the ECW World Television Championship against Mikey Whipwreck. After the match, Little Guido attacks Super Crazy, and Tajiri gets in the ring and kicks the crap out of Little Guido before blinding Super Crazy with green mist.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer calls the bounty on his head a joke, then pulls out a wad of cash and says he will double whatever Raven is paying to get the job done. He wants to know why Raven does not want to face him one-on-one, as they have fought so many times before and they know each other like the back of their hands. He then says he hates the back of his hand right now, and says that if Raven can get out of his pill-induced stupor for one minute and realize that through failed gimmick and unsuccessful stays elsewhere, he is nothing with out him. As for Raven claiming he hates him but needs him as well as blaming his messed-up life on his father, if Raven could pull back his hear, pull out his piercings and look underneath his tattoos, he will realize he is a 36-year-old man who should finally realize the person he hates most is himself. He says that without him, there is no Raven.

Before the next match, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer says there are theree Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes) and one of him, and that there is someone drunk enough in the audience who is ready to to take it to the extreme. The Sandman then shows up, and what is originally a one-on-one match between Dreamer and Angel is now a 3-on-2 handicap match. As Sandman walks around in the ring while Dreamer brings out some barbed wire.

"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman beat Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, Grimes). During the match, Angel tells Dreamer that it is always three against one in a match with Da Baldies. All of a sudden, Raven shows up and fights off Da Baldies, and despite not being an official competitor in the match, he wins the match for Dreamer and The Sandman. After the match, Raven and Dreamer are about to go at it when Mike Awesome shows up with Judge Jeff Jones. Awesome says that Raven and Dreamer have no reason to have a problem with each other, as he knows for a fact that Raven did not put the hit out on Dreamer. Judge Jeff Jones also says Raven did not do it, then reveals he was the one who put the hit out. Awesome lays out Raven and Dreamer, then gets a table in the ring and puts Raven through it with an Awesome Bomb. Awesome then sets up another table in the corner, and puts Dreamer through it with another Awesome Bomb.

Judge Jeff Jones says that he put the bounty on "The Innovator of Violence' Tommy Dreamer simply for his own amusement after seeing the idea on old wrestling tapes, and even went so far as to blame Raven for the bounty. He also says that Raven did not even know about the bounty. Suddenly, Mike Awesome pushes Judge Jeff Jones into the corner and tells him to shut up, and that he wants his pay-off for kicking Tommy Dreamer's ass. Judge Jeff Jones gives him the money, then Awesome wants more money for taking out Raven. Judge Jeff Jones says the bounty was only for Dreamer, but Awesome pushes him back into the corner and Judge Jeff Jones gives him more money, anyway. Aweomse says he has money in his pocket, food on his plate and the ECW World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder because he is awesome.

We hear from some ECW wrestlers before the show comes to a close.

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.

Extreme Nation - ECW on TNN recap for February 25, 2000

Cyrus is in the ring to start tonight's show. He says the crowd has no idea what pressure he is under as a network executive, and that sometimes in life - and in business - people like him have to make decisions that are best for people like the ones in the crowd. Cyrus says TNN cannot have the ECW World Television Championship on the shelf for twelve weeks, which causes the crowd to chant "You're a bitch!" As Cyrus announces that the network has allowed him to make an executive network decision to appoint a new ECW World Television Champion, Jack Victory, Steve Corino and Rhino show up. He announces that he and the network has awarded the ECW World Television Championship to Rhino, which causes the crowd to boo. Cyrus asks why the crowd is booing when Rhino was the last man in the ring with Rob Van Dam, and he has been destroying men left and right while bringing up the ratings, and he announces that he will have the Television title brought out and awarded to Rhino by none other than Paul Heyman. He says he knows Heyman is in the back, and tells him to do something useful and bring out the Television title as well as a coffee. Paul Heyman shows up with the ECW World Television Champion.

After the opening title sequence, Paul Heyman is in the ring with the ECW World Television Championship, and Cyrus asks where his coffee is. Cyrus then says he knew that one day, they would have a role reversal and that Paul Heyman would be doing what he tells him to do. He tells Heyman to sell out Rob Van Dam and to bend over for the network in front of everyone on TNN. When Cyrus asks Heyman to give him the television title, Heyman beans Cyrus in the face with it only to get jumped by Rhino and Steve Corino while Jack Victory directs traffic. Suddenly, The Sandman shows up in the crowd.

The Sandman is still in the crowd as the show comes back from commercial break. Referee Jim Molineaux enters the ring before The Sandman gets in, then The Sandman enters the ring with beer and one hand and a Singapore cane in the other. Corino gets the Singapore cane out of The Sandman's hand, and Rhino and The Sandman have an impromptu match. As Rhino is held back, he claims that he broke Rob Van Dam's leg.

Rhino vs. The Sandman ends in a no-contest. During the match, Jack Victory and Steve Corino get involved, and Tajiri runs into the ring. Tajiri ducks a Singapore cane swing by The Sandman and spits green mist in his face. Rhino then goes The Sandman through a table, then Super Crazy shows up and fights everybody, including Tajiri, saving The Sandman and clearing the ring in the process.

Backstage, "Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill run into The Dupp Brothers (Bo and Jack Dupp), and Jack Dupp calls Roadkill "a chicken plucker" and Doring "the guy who needs his girl to get over." Doring points out that Bo "picks his ass," Jack picks his nose and flicks it down Bo's throat, and asks who they think they are to tell them how to get over. Doring then challenges The Dupp Brothers toa Loser Leaves Town match, and Jack Dupp spits on his hand before extending it and saying they have a deal. Doring tells Jack "Never touch The Dastdarly One, son," and walks off, and Bo extends his hand only for Danny Doring to say "Chickens" and hiss in their faces. Jack asks Bo if Roadkill just called them chickens, and Bo replies "Chickens? Yum!" before rubbing his belly.

"Dastardly" Danny Doring and Roadkill beat The Dupp Brothers (Bo and Jack Dupp) in a Loser Leaves Town Match. As per pre-match stipulation, The Dupp Brothers are gone from Extreme Championship Wrestling.

Before the next match, "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer says that with this being the first time ECW is in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he needs to ask a couple of questions. He asks if this WCW country, to which the crowd replies with a resounding no. He asks if this is WWF country, and the crowd responds to that with another resounding no. He then comes to the conclusion that this is ECW country, and the crow cheers. He says it it time to finish it right here and now, and calls out Raven. Instead of getting Raven, he gets Francine instead. Francine tells Tommy she knows what he is trying to do, and that he is trying to defend her honor and protect her. She appreciates this, but she says that she has seen the tape and that Raven accidentally DDT'd her while he was blinded. She tells Tommy to drop the attitude, and tells him that he is not motivated or focused, and says she has managed the World Heavyweight Champion, the World Television Champion, the World Tag Team Champions, and even helped Dreamer to his first ECW tag titles. Suddenly, The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) and Dawn Marie show up. Justin tells Tommy to chill out, as he, Storm and Dawn Marie are here to watch. Tommy tells them that if they are here to watch, then they should bring Dawn Marie "so she can show her fake tits and give us something to watch." He says he has enough problems, and does not need to deal with The Impact Players right now. Nevertheless; if one of them wants to go one-on-one with him, he "doesn't give a fuck." Storm says he and Justin are the tag team champions, which means that they are a team, and if he wants to fight, he needs to find him a partner, as they intend to give Dreamer a shot at the tag team titles because they love kicking his ass. Dreamer says he doesn't need to look far for a partner, because there are "3,000 sick, hardcore bastards" in the crowd who will be his partner. He then says he will pick anybody in the crowd to be his partner. He then calls The Impact Players "pussies" because they are too scared to fight anybody from Milwaukee. Dawn Marie tells Tommy to put on Francine's skirt, because it is obvious she wears the pants in the relationship. Francine tells Dawn Marie that if she wants a fight, then she will get one with The Impact Players vs. Dreamer and Raven. The Impact Players then ambush Dreamer as soon as Dreamer is surprised by Francine's statement, and the match begins. Shortly after the match begins, Raven shows up in street clothes and fights off The Impact Players.

The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) retain the ECW World Tag Team Championships against "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer and Raven. During the match, The Sinister Minister shows up and hands Raven a bag of powder. Raven tries to throw the powder at Lance Storm, but Storm ducks and the powder hits Dreamer in the eyes as he is about to hit the Dreamer Driver on Justin Credible. Dreamer then accidentally DDT's Francine while blinded, and Raven tends to Francine while, leaving Dreamer on his own as he helps Francine to the back. The Impact Players retain the tag team titles after an assisted spike piledriver to Dreamer on a steel chair.

We hear from The Sinister Minister. He says he is not one to stir the pot, but he says there is a situation he would like to dive into. He mentions how when Raven DDT'd Francine, he had powder in his eyes, and when "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer DDT'd Francine, he had fire in his eyes. He says things are starting to get very, very deep, and laughs as the camera zooms out and shows the outside of the arena.

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.

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 says Joey Styles has the honor and privilege to be standing next to the ECW World Tag Team Champions, even though they are not the champions yet. Joey says they may be jumping the gun, but Justin says there are guys like Rhino and Steve Corino to take the bullet for them. Suddenly, Chris Candido, Rhino and Tammy Lynn Sytch show up, and Candido says that if anyone wants to talk about who is using who, he says Storm is only in ECW because he "carried [his] Canadian ass for a year and a half," and that Justin Credible is only in ECW because he brought him here. If anything, Chris Candido is using The Impact Players. Rhino just wants to kick their asses, and both teas go at it. Security immediately moves into place, but Tammy Lynn Sytch and Dawn Marie have a catfight where Tammy Lynn Sytch gets her dress torn up.

Backstage, Jack Victory asks Steve Corino what his problem is, as they have a match.

Meanwhile, Rhino is not paying attention to him and Tajiri lost at November To Remember. He plans to go to the concert and show everyone what he is all about, but when he asks Jack Victory if he is with him, Jack Victory tells him he is on his own.

Steve Corino is at the Limp Bizkit concert. He berates a woman at the concert for not having any respect for herself, then calls the daning on the stage "disgusting."

Raven calls The Sandman "an abusive drunk just like his father," and talks about how his father used to come home from work, beat the crap out of him, smack him, whip him and slap him.

He laughs, then repeatedly says his father was an abusive drunk just like The Sandman, and the only reason he didn't kill his dad is because his dad died before he come up with a way to kill him and get away with it. He tells The Sandman he is not dead, but he was going to wish he was.

Steve Corino is on stage at the Limp Bizkit concert. A woman tells him to get off the stage, and when Corino asks her if she talks to her mother with that foul mouth, she moons him. Lead singer Fred Durst tells Corino to shut up, but Corino tells Durst to shut up for a second. He plugs ECW on TNN, then Durst says "this guy sounds like a faggot to me." Corino says he was wrestling in the other building, and all hed hear was 15,000 drunk, stoned concertgoers.

They then introduce Jerry Lynn down to the ring, and when he is asked when he is in cahoots with Tajiri, Jerry Lynn responds "And you question my integrity? Fuck you, Joey! This interview is over." He leaves.

Chris Candido, Rhino and Tammy Lynn Sytch show up. Rhino can't wait for tonight's six-man tag team match as he will beat up everybody, and he tells Candido that he promised him a warm-up match and that if doesn't give him that match, he will warm up all over his punk ass. Candido puts Tammy in front of him, and Tammy asks Rhino to give them ten minutes and they will give him a bunch of guys to beat up. She also says that she saw an electrical closet, then whispers into his ear. Rhino says they have ten minutes.

In New York City, New Jack says he is in the city and he is waiting for Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, P.N. News) so he can make example out of them. He says Angel's ass is his, and he will make him his personal bitch like the last man he had in jail as he turns him from Angel to "some little faggot named LaShaun," as he will be his ho before the night is over.

Rob Van Dam retains the ECW World Television Championship against C.W. Anderson.

In New York City, New Jack still hasn't found Da Baldies (Angel, Tony DeVito, P.N. News) yet, and says they don't want any of him. He does not care what he has to do to find them, but he will find them.

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. Raven repeatedly says he did the right thing, and asks Dreamer why he let The Sandman beat him up, then repeatedly says he did the right thing.
