00:32
i i have a question and
00:39
it's the question that's on the minds of everyone here at the hammerstein ballroom
00:46

01:12
i can get you coffee i'll do anything you ask please
01:17
i've got i've got hold this hold this hold this
01:24
let me let me think about that for just a second what a snorer
01:35
hell no i won't hire you
01:37

01:51
i am the general manager of the most prestigious sports entertainment company
01:58
on the freaking planet monday night raw
02:03
and after seeing what you and the rest of these geeks call entertainment i don't want to see you
02:12
i don't want to see any of you scams at any raw events because quite frankly you don't have the
02:21
class you people are garbage give me my beer back and you suck ecw sucks
02:33
a little bit unnecessary he didn't even look at the headshot
02:47
we are live from the hammerstein ballroom in new york city you are watching ecw one night
02:55
stand well you know bishop always knew who to hire and who not to hire that was a good call
03:01
even a crooked clock is right twice a day
03:07
ladies and gentlemen our next match is scheduled for one more
03:14
weighing in at 270 pounds from tampa florida
03:24
i'm going to talk about how much money eric bischoff spent planning in ecw
03:29
mike also was the ecw world heavyweight champion it was his first full-time wrestling contract
03:37
in the united states he was making good money not a millionaire six figures
03:44
i'll tell you more about it in a minute i'll get i'll get pissed i sense you don't like mr
03:48
awesome no you know something i'd risk being put in the hospital to take a swing at that
03:52
piece of crap as you see up there in the balcony the raw superstars literally turning their back
03:57
on the ecw product i know joey don't you turn your back on awesome too
04:11
and his opponent weighing in at 244 pounds
04:18
this is one of the toughest men i've ever seen in a japanese ring he's got the scars to prove it
04:31
he's been through hell and he's got the scars to prove it let me tell you about this judas
04:36
my boss and that's a perfect word he's a huge first let's give him his due he's a tremendous
04:40
a powerhouse
04:42
he took a 250 check up front and a million dollar contract to walk out of ecw and breach his
04:53
contract as the champion and the only reason he didn't go down on belt on tv is because of a
04:59
federal injunction he's a piece of crap he's a child he's got no loyalty he's a judas he's what
05:05
he is and i hope asato tanaka takes his damn head off with the dragon ball uh ladies and
05:11
gentlemen we've just seen our second shoot promo of the evening rob van dam followed up by joey
05:19
suicide died by mike awesome and it's a shame he didn't succeed in taking his own life
05:25
he's an he's an impressive big man i'd like to take another look at that yeah sure
05:41
to knock already up on his feet
05:43
oh
05:59
nicely done mr tanaka is it just me there's awesome laugh the awesome force once he lost
06:05
the 1980s haircut
06:17
manages to get the boot up and there's a clothesline from michael
06:24
awesome and tanaka traded the ecw world heavyweight championship in late 1999
06:32
into 2000 they've had some classic matches let's give them their due
06:37
yeah i remember one that happened in nashville at the time while we were on tnn the redneck network
06:42
the deliverance channel call it what you will where he has considered you know cultural programming
06:50
those are my people and these two also battled over the fmw heavyweight championship in japan
06:58
and i apologize for losing my cool and being a professional
07:02
i'll call a match clothesline down goes tanaka
07:09
michael also now on the outside with masato tanaka this is known as the awesome bomb
07:27
easy
07:38
oh we have to see this again it's the awesome
07:44
one more time
07:57
and tanaka kicks out as a guy who's been put to the table let me tell you
08:02
that's not the landing you want did not go through the center of the table it remains to be seen
08:08
whether tanaka can kick out and return match awesome looking to finish off masato tanaka
08:16
for the pile driver tanaka showing great power lands on top of awesome awesome rolls over though
08:21
refuses to let go of tanaka and that was just raw power on that awesome bar
08:30
we get to spend some of eric bischoff's dirty freaking tainted money on a gym membership
08:35
he's got tremendous power and al michaelson looking underneath the ring
08:40
oh
08:46
he's got a fan in bradshaw that's for sure and he knows how to use a chair
08:53
he missed that time
09:10
the charm but tanaka is up he's up he gets the boots up he hugs them
09:22
he just joined the neck of mike awesome
09:26
so
09:48
give credit where it's due to mike awesome showing great
09:53
oh
09:58
it sounds as if you actually have some sympathy for awesome well he is a human being
10:13
in the hell did he kick out
10:15
it's what we know we call testicular fortitude joey
10:21
like him ahead of mike awesome has it in abundance miss with the dang elbow
10:31
and he just got speared and good by mike awesome
10:40
awesome now steel chair at hand
10:44
ascending the turnbuckles all referee jim malino could do is look on
10:50
because it's all legal in ecw
10:56
the human skull was not made for that kind of punishment very slow to get up
11:10
so
11:15
mike awesome now sliding a table into the ring
11:20
trying to figure out a way to put masato to knock it down and down for a good
11:28
table apparently not to mike's liking
11:31
you
11:37
and the former 70s guy finally having his way with the furniture
11:41
is he also a fat chick thriller
11:45
i hope he saved that
11:49
mike awesome took a lot of time getting that table in the ring and that can only help masato
11:53
tanaka and taking a hell of a beating but every every second counts trying to recuperate
12:01
as this does not bode well for the former ecw world tag team and world heavyweight
12:07
champion masato tanaka as mike awesome is looking for the superplex
12:12
yeah
12:28
enjoying themselves
12:32
well i think grand choice cheering on mike awesome
12:35
because mike awesome lifted his leg and whizzed on ecw when he took the payoff
12:42
bradshaw's gotta love that man sold his soul for money
12:48
sold us all out all of us and our families
12:54
and now mike awesome going up top with masato kanaka
12:58
oh
13:15
are you kidding me how do they keep going my goodness the guts
13:21
so
13:30
all about myself
13:47
so we have officially gotten over the point that that mike awesome sold out we can both
13:51
enjoy the match yeah i'm done all right good
13:57
mike awesome wants a little more room to work with
14:04
what can the Dudleys be thinking you know they've got to have their eye on the monitor thinking
14:09
this is their deal tables are their deal
14:22
or did he
14:29
freaking god
14:47
mercifully this match is over
14:50
and mike awesome's defense he's a tremendous athlete he's a veteran of some 97 or 98 japanese
15:02
tour he was a monster in the world of professional wrestling was made to look like a fool in wcw
15:08
they've got to see this again
15:25
as i said mike awesome was made to look like a fool
15:29
a ninja poop an idiot when they turn him into that 70s guy in wcw
15:33
this has got to feel like redemption and it's got to feel good
15:38
i think i would have sold out for the type of cash they were throwing it off
15:56
mike awesome going outside the ring being helped out and let's take one more look at it
16:01
that's the finish
