00:00Dayton, Ohio, you're so lucky because Bill Alfonso's bringing Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam right to Dayton.
00:10And also, Bill Alfonso's bringing Mr. Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Sabu, Daddy, what do you think about that?
00:18I'm part of Mr. Monday Night, that's right, Daddy, right down the middle.
00:23Hey, Dayton, Ohio, Rob Van Dam is coming.
00:27And you too, Sabu.
00:28And you know what, I don't know who our opponents are, but does it really matter?
00:33I mean, what you really want to know is, can I go rush and buy my ticket because it's Mr.
00:38Monday Night Rob Van Dam coming to my town.
00:41Yes, and you too, Sabu.
00:42You're the most homicidal.
00:44He's suicidal, baby, homicidal, genocidal.
00:48That's it, Mr. Monday Night.
00:51Yeah, basically just the highest flying wrestler next to me.
00:55And the people are going to pay to come and see you, Sabu, defend my world championship belts in Dayton, Ohio.
01:02Right, Fonzie?
01:04Right down the middle!
01:06Hey, tell them who the show is.
01:08Who's the show?
01:09I'm Joey Styles along with the heavyweight champion of the world, the franchise Shane Douglas, and the head cheerleader Francine.
01:20You're watching Extreme Championship Wrestling, and of course, ECW returns to pay-per-view this Sunday night with Heat Wave 98 at 7 p.m. Eastern time.
01:31Hey, let's start off the show with a blockbuster announcement because Rob Van Dam and Sabu do not have to wait until Sunday night to find out who their opponents will be.
01:41Because they will be defending the world tag team title belts against the Japanese contenders, first, a man we have been dying to get in the ring against Sabu for years.
01:52Hayabusa and his tag team partner, Jinzei Shinzaki, known to you American wrestling fans as Hakushi.
02:00This is a tag team that could match Van Dam and Sabu for daredevil ability.
02:07It's this Sunday night.
02:09Heat Wave 98 locked on pay-per-view.
02:21Extreme
02:21Championship

02:51Hip
04:21Wait a second.
04:21Don't we have that clip?
04:23Oh, yeah.
04:23We have that clip.
04:24Well, then why the hell talk about it?
04:26Just like sweet old Francine here.
04:28Let's show it and let it do its own talking.
04:30He's going for a greeting from Asbury Park.
04:36He's over the shoulder.
04:37He's going for the cut to Hajime.
04:39He's going for the cut to Hajime.
04:42He's got it.
04:43He's got it locked up.
04:44Bam Bam's tapping.
04:45Bam Bam Bigelow is tapping.
04:46John Finnegan.
04:47John Finnegan.
04:47John Finnegan.
04:47He's behind Bigelow.
04:50Taz had the cut to Hajime.
05:04Taz had the cut to Hajime.
05:18The Taz mission locked on Bam Bam Bigelow.
05:21Bigelow was tapping.
05:23Finnegan couldn't see it.
05:26Bigelow, in a last-ditch, desperation attempt to break the hole,
05:32threw his own feet out from under him.
05:35Almost 365 pounds backwards.
05:38He landed on Taz.
05:40They broke the boards in the ring and landed on the concrete bar of the ring.
05:49Bigelow has crawled up through the ring, but...
05:53But Taz is now being pulled from the floor.
06:03Can you imagine the impact?
06:05Taz on the back of Bam Bam Bigelow as they went crashing through those ring boards.
06:10And hit the concrete.
06:16Cover.
06:19Ladies and gentlemen, you win.
06:21For five months, for five long, miserable months,
06:26I keep hearing that ring announcer and the winner
06:29and new world television champion Bam Bam Bigelow.
06:35Also, for five months, I've been out here and I've been lying.
06:40And I've been saying my famous credo.
06:43Beat me if you can.
06:45Survive if I let you.
06:47Well, Bam Bam, you can't beat me because you have.
06:51You beat me flat in the middle.
06:55And it wasn't because you're bigger than me.
06:57And it wasn't because you have more experience than me.
07:00Uh-uh.
07:01You beat me because on that night, you were flat out better than me.
07:06Not the ring.
07:07Not the hometown.
07:08None of that.
07:09But you see, now, this Sunday night, Dayton, Ohio, Heat Wave 98, they're calling it.
07:18This ain't about my FTW belt that some people recognize and some people don't.
07:24Uh-uh.
07:24What this is about is that trophy.
07:29That trophy they call a victory.
07:32And you got one over on me, bro.
07:37And in Dayton, I'm fixing to take it back.
07:40I'm taking back my victory.
07:43I'm taking back my credo.
07:46Beat me if you can.
07:50Survive if I let you.
07:52That's what I say.
07:54And you've stopped me from feeling it in my heart.
07:58For saying it.
07:59And meaning it.
08:00And shooting.
08:01I'm not some ego-hyped guy.
08:05I'm not fake.
08:06I'm real.
08:07That's what I say.
08:10But you beat me.
08:13And yeah, I survived.
08:14But you beat me.
08:18I don't lose a lot, bro.
08:20But when I lose, people get talking.
08:25So now you got to ask yourself a question, Bam Bam.
08:30Can I do it again?
08:32Can I beat this man again?
08:35Can I?
08:37Well, brother, I'll answer it for you.
08:41You ain't gonna.
08:42You ain't gonna beat me again.
08:43You know why?
08:46Because I can't let you.
08:48I can't let you.
08:52Dayton, Ohio.
08:54When the lights get dark.
08:56And that orange light hits me.
08:59The mood will change, Bigelow.
09:01The mood will change.
09:04And the ass-kicking will begin, big boy.
09:07So you bring it.
09:09And you prepare yourself.
09:11Because you're gonna tap.
09:14Bam Bam.
09:16Beat me.
09:17If you can.
09:22Survive.
09:24If I let you.
09:26Things have gotten out of hand around here.
09:32Because eight days ago.
09:33Whoa, whoa, what are you doing to my ear?
09:35You don't trust me?
09:35After all the crap we've been through, you don't trust me?
09:37I trust you a second.
09:38Hang on, what happened to me?
09:39All the crap we've been through was Sonny the Triple Titan.
09:40You don't trust me?
09:41Yeah, I trust you.
09:42But what are you gonna do to me?
09:43I'll show you how much faith I've gotten you.
09:44What are you doing?
09:45We're gonna be here all night with this promo for Christ's sake.
09:47Through the promo.
09:47The promo's not the important thing.
09:48This is.
09:49Oh, what are you doing?
09:50I'm showing you how much faith I've gotten you as a partner and a friend.
09:53Fine.
09:53I'm falling back.
09:54You gonna be there for me?
09:54Yeah, look, I'm here for you.
09:56Fine.
09:56Jesus.
09:56For Christ's sake.
09:57Come on, get the thing done now.
09:58Is this on now?
09:59We're good?
10:00Like I was trying to say, eight days ago.
10:03I'll be careful.
10:04All right, all right.
10:04My partner just got his ear ripped off his head.
10:07And as he's laying on the mat in Boston, bleeding, and I'm trying to keep the ear attached to his head
10:11as the paramedics run in, stitching it up, trying to bandage him up, I rode with him to the hospital.
10:15And I sat there in the hospital while he was getting looked after.
10:18And all I could think about was tonight, tonight, the chance to avenge what they did to my partner.
10:24Get a shot of that.
10:25I'm all right, all right.
10:26Candino and Storm are on the table.
10:28Candino managed to get off the table.
10:30He couldn't save Storm.
10:31This is in two.
10:33No.
10:34No, Lance Storm kicked out.
10:36Van Damme is the sidekick.
10:37German two plates.
10:38Van Damme told her to down.
10:40Two count only.
10:40Van Damme kicks out.
10:43Clothesline on Chris Candino.
10:47It's like a tornado in that ring.
10:49There's bodies flying everywhere.
10:52How did Lance Storm kick out?
10:54Candino puts out.
10:56Storm just smacked Candino in the ear.
11:00Lance Storm just smacked his tag team partner.
11:03Listen here, Vanilla, Lance Storm, a graduate of Stu Hart's Dungeon.
11:11What you've done is you've stepped over the line.
11:14Oh, you were a triple threat prospect.
11:17And you were flying high until we brought your ass down.
11:20You took Chris Candino, the guy that carried you on his huge back for one hell of a long time and carried you to greatness.
11:29You would have been erased off the sheet a long time ago here in ECW if it wasn't for Chris Candino.
11:34And you hit him at his most vulnerable spot.
11:38At the most vulnerable point.
11:40You know what I'm talking about, Lance Storm.
11:43His ear was split in half by Sabu.
11:46By rolling thunder.
11:47Held together by stitches.
11:49You know what I'm talking about.
11:51Because on the way to the hospital, you were the jackass holding his ear together.
11:56And what did you do?
11:57You turned your back on him and you smacked him right in that ear.
12:01Just a few days after those stitches were placed in that ear.
12:06Well, Lance Storm, they say that revenge is a dish best served cold.
12:10But at heatwave 98, Candido is going to put your ass under a magnifying glass and fry you all night long.
12:19Indeed, the former world tag team champions Chris Candino and Lance Storm will be on opposite sides of the ring this Sunday night live on pay-per-view.
12:30But there is so much more.
12:31Taz will defend the F the World heavyweight title against Bam Bam Bigelow.
12:38One-on-one for the very first time.
12:41All weapons are legal as Jack Victory collides with the original gangsta new Jack.
12:47The finals of the summer series.
12:50Who will win the feud?
12:51Will it be the 24-year-old puke Justin Credible or ECW's newest star, Jerry Lynn?
12:58Japan's hottest feud comes to America as Masato Tanaka takes on 6'6", 295-pound Mike Awesome.
13:11Sabu and Mr. Monday Night Rob Van Dam, the world television champion, will defend the ECW World Tag Team titles against the number one team from Japan, Hayabusa, and Jinsei Shinsaki, known to many of you fans as Hakushi.
13:28Plus, a Dudleyville Street Fight, and the rules are, there are no rules.
13:34The carnage continues until one team is soundly defeated.
13:38Bubba Ray, Big Dick, and Devon Dudley take on their estranged brother, Little Spike Dudley, the Sandman, and Tommy Dreamer.
13:48It's Heat Wave 98, this Sunday night, 7 p.m. Eastern Time, live on Pay-Per-View.
13:57This is a special attraction tag team matchup.
14:01Mike Awesome and Justin Credible take on Masato Tanaka and Jerry Lynn.
14:07Jason, the self-proclaimed sexiest man on earth and wrestling's most well-traveled groupie, Chastity.
14:18Lead the 24-year-old puke, Justin Credible, and Monster Mike Awesome to the ring.
14:24Awesome certainly is an impressive physical specimen, but what has impressed me most about him lately is that he's showing great wrestling technique.
14:33He and Masato Tanaka have had some classics already here in ECW.
14:38And some wars over in Japan, and no doubt what we will see this Sunday night at Heat Wave 98, live on Pay-Per-View, 7 p.m. Eastern Time, will be no exception.
14:52Mike Awesome to go one-on-one with Masato Tanaka.
14:55Just incredible in the finals of the Summer Series against Jerry Lynn.
15:00And this tag team matchup rolls both of those feuds into one war.
15:07You've hit the nail right on the head.
15:09These four men have had some damned exciting matches here at ECW.
15:13And if this tag team match offers even half the excitement that those matches have given us,
15:18well, this is going to be one hell of a match.
15:20What a disgusting young man he has turned out to be.
15:32Hey, a guy with attitude, I've got to like that.
15:36We'll see how much you'll like him while he's challenging you for that title belt.
15:39I can't wait.
15:41I've always said to be the best, you've got to beat the best.
15:44Incredible certainly justifies himself as being one of the best in ECW today.
15:52Then again, I'm out of action.
15:55How convenient.
15:56Here comes the opposition for Awesome and Just Incredible.
16:07Have you ever seen somebody excite a crowd as fast as Masato Tanaka has done it?
16:12He's one of the most discerning and demanding fans in the world over in a matter of weeks here in ECW.
16:17And he has done it despite a language barrier, but the language he speaks is that of great wrestling.
16:25His actions in the ring speak louder than any words could.
16:29And Mike Awesome knows that from past experience, not only in Japan, but recently here in ECW.
16:36I'll tell you what he's done it with.
16:38He's done it with two words, passion and heart.
16:40I've never seen a wrestler in ECW as passionate about what he does, as passionate about winning as Masato Tanaka.
16:49Tanaka gets right up at the face of the monster.
16:52He has no fear, no fear at all.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen, accompanied to the ring by Chastity and Jason, the sexiest man on earth.
17:07Introducing from Tampa, Florida, weighing at 293 pounds, Mike Awesome!
17:23And his partner from Odo, New York, his weight, 222 pounds, Justin Incredible!
17:37Look at that attitude.
17:40He reminds me of me five years ago.
17:42Maybe even a little better.
17:44What?
17:44Nothing.
17:44From Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in tonight at 216 pounds, Jerry Lynn!
17:55He's really coming to his own as of late here at ECW.
17:58Tokyo, Japan, weighing in at 237 pounds, Masato Tanaka!
18:11You know, you hit on something with Jerry Lynn.
18:13What he's done here at ECW as of late in these classic battles against Justin Incredible is he's defined his career.
18:20We're at the ECW Arena, and the countdown to Heat Wave 98 continues after this short break.
18:30We're back.
18:31Tanaka up in the face of Mike Awesome.
18:33Listen to those shots!
18:39They say that nobody in the sport today absorbs punishment as well as Masato Tanaka,
18:44and it's a damn good thing because nobody and nobody dishes it out quite like Mike Awesome does.
18:49This is a preview of what we'll see this Sunday night live on Pay-Per-View, 7 p.m. Eastern Time, Heat Wave 98.
19:00Tanaka right back up to his feet!
19:03Full ahead of steam by Tanaka.
19:05Prides the shoulder block.
19:09Ducks the clothesline.
19:11Holds up.
19:12And floors Mike Awesome with the clothesline of his hook.
19:17Tanaka can generate power when he needs to.
19:22Springboard clothesline sends Awesome all the way to the floor.
19:25Tanaka gives chase.
19:28What Tanaka is giving up in size, he's making up for with velocity.
19:32He's taking that 237 pounds, and he's launching it through the air,
19:37making it seem like 300 pounds.
19:39Where the hell is he going?
19:42Oh, my God!
19:48And you said no one dishes it out like Mike Awesome,
19:51and Tanaka just very well may be a very close second.
19:54Full ahead of steam, he tried to crush the skull of Awesome with that chair.
19:59And he's not selfish, he's giving it up to Jerry Lynn.
20:02Double axe handle.
20:03In comes Jerry Lynn.
20:05May not be as powerful as Tanaka,
20:07but he's quicker.
20:09Standing dropkick.
20:10Make it two.
20:13Not much on those.
20:15Mike Awesome, 290 pounds.
20:18High crossbody.
20:20Lynn gets caught.
20:21There's an assist from his tag team partner.
20:23Cover to it.
20:24With power by Mike Awesome.
20:26Bench pressing Jerry Lynn off.
20:28Full ahead of steam by Jerry Lynn.
20:32Set for the ride.
20:33And crashing down to the canvas.
20:38A crushing leg drop.
20:40Jerry Lynn's got to change his game plan.
20:42All summer long, he's been wrestling against Justin Credible,
20:45who weighs 230 pounds.
20:47Suddenly, he finds himself in there with a 300-pound monster named Mike Awesome.
20:52And now Justin Credible gets to take advantage of the pain and damage that's been inflicted by Mike Awesome.
21:00But Jerry Lynn, some would say, still has the number of Justin Credible.
21:04Chopping away.
21:08Boot to the midsection.
21:10Justin Credible sent for the ride.
21:14Dropkick in the corner.
21:15Nowhere to go.
21:16And look how fast Jerry Lynn has turned it around.
21:19Instinct has taken over.
21:21That sixth sense that every great wrestler has.
21:24He's used to Justin Credible's onslaught and his offense.
21:27And suddenly, Jerry Lynn is back on top.
21:30Remortial on the Irish whip.
21:32Jerry ducks the clothesline.
21:34Flying back elbow.
21:35Finds the mark.
21:36The point of the jaw.
21:37There's the lateral press.
21:38Two and up.
21:39No way you're going to cover Justin Credible and win like that.
21:42He didn't have the shoulder down or leg pinned.
21:48Jerry Lynn misses Justin Credible out of the corner in the nick of time.
21:53And suddenly, Justin Credible has shown us that he also has that uncanny sixth sense.
22:03It's a charming young man as well.
22:05Vertical suplex block.
22:07Nice takedown by Jerry Lynn.
22:09And Justin Credible had the presence of mind to make it to the roast before he had to submit.
22:14Remember, he's lost before to Jerry Lynn by submission.
22:18We get the first ever meeting of Tanaka and Justin Credible.
22:23Or maybe not.
22:27And reeks of cowardice.
22:31Discretion is the better part of valor.
22:34That's another way to look at it.
22:36Boot to the midsection.
22:39Hammering blows by Mike Awesome on Tanaka.
22:43Tanaka ducks the clothesline.
22:45Waistlocked.
22:47Elbows.
22:47Free Mike Awesome standing.
22:50German suplex.
22:51What a throw.
22:56Awesome lands on the ring apron.
22:58Here comes Tanaka.
23:02Slingshot shoulder blocks.
23:03Like getting hit by a truck.
23:04Cover.
23:04Hooks the leg to end up.
23:05And there's what I just talked about a few weeks ago.
23:09Huge Mike Awesome forced Tanaka to expend one hell of a lot of energy by kicking out with over 300 pounds across his chest.
23:18Mike Awesome now setting up Tanaka on the top.
23:21Truman suplex off the middle of the top rope.
23:26Tanaka's hurt.
23:29He's staggering.
23:30He stays.
23:31There's no doubt about it.
23:32This is the first time I've really seen that glazed look in Tanaka's eyes.
23:36And it's no surprise to anyone that Mike Awesome's the one that inflicted that damage.
23:45Look at Jason directing traffic.
23:47A little more to the left.
23:48A little more to the right.
23:49We all know what Mike Awesome's planning on here.
23:53We've seen it in New York City.
23:55He's planning on taking Tanaka with that power bomb down eight feet through the table to the concrete floor.
24:02And if he does it again, we might need a new opponent for Mike Awesome for the pay-per-view Sunday night.
24:07Tanaka wriggles free boot to the midsection.
24:12Tanaka's going to go for it.
24:13Mike Awesome just too strong.
24:18Hooks the legs, rolls through.
24:21Two count only.
24:22Impressive by Mike Awesome.
24:24He combines wrestling technique with that huge frame.
24:27And forces Tanaka to expend even more energy.
24:30If this continues, Tanaka is sure to get pinned.
24:38Clothesline sends Tanaka crumbling to the floor.
24:41In comes Justin Credible and Jerry Lynn, Irish whip.
24:47Tilt the world, flying, head scissors.
24:51Justin Credible to the outside, baseball slide.
24:55Justin Credible winds up in the first row.
25:06Jerry Lynn with the springboard plunge.
25:09Oh, my God.
25:16290-plus pound Mike Awesome.
25:21With the springboard plunge.
25:23I say we just call him Air Awesome from now on.
25:27Call whoever the hell he wants to be called.
25:29That was amazing.
25:30It was awesome.
25:32You can tell that Awesome and Tanaka have battled each other before.
25:39There's no stop.
25:40They're not pulling out to try to defeat each other.
25:43And the same goes for Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible.
25:46Justin Credible just hit the steel guardrail.
25:48Scooping a slam on Tanaka.
25:52Mike Awesome going all the way up top.
25:56He says, that is all.
26:01What a splash.
26:02Awesome splash.
26:03Hook the leg.
26:04Jerry Lynn makes the save.
26:07Awesome has Tanaka reeling.
26:10And if he can follow up, just follow up this one time,
26:13he can score that decisive victory once and for all over Masada Tanaka.
26:18And headed to Heat Wave 98 with a psychological advantage.
26:21He's got the chair.
26:36And look at that chair.
26:38That may be it for Masako tonight.
26:41There's the tag to Justin Credible.
26:42Oh, he wants the easy pinfall.
26:44This is all to an...
26:45No!
26:46He kicked out.
26:48Tanaka kicked out.
26:49And Justin Credible is beside himself.
26:53The little glory hog thought he was going to get an easy pinfall
26:56in this tag team matchup.
26:57It was not to be.
26:59And now Justin Credible has got a real problem on his hands
27:02in Masato Tanaka.
27:04You're seeing a powerful drug called adrenaline.
27:08And Tanaka wisely makes the tag to Jerry Lynn.
27:13Filling a back suplex.
27:16The momentum has changed.
27:18Suddenly Justin Credible is in deep, deep trouble.
27:22Jerry Lynn is sending the turnbuckle.
27:24He is all the way up top.
27:26He drops the leg.
27:28It's the Minnesota Jam.
27:30Cover.
27:30Look at the leg.
27:31Now two and a half.
27:34Two and a half has referee John Finnegan.
27:36Irish whip reversed.
27:41Jerry Lynn ducks the clothesline.
27:43Waistlock.
27:44And that was long.
27:45That was really long.
27:47That was called a last-ditch effort by Justin Credible,
27:51but just as effective.
27:53And there's a tag to Mike Awesome.
27:58Just incredible.
28:00Couldn't get the better of Jerry Lynn on that exchange.
28:03Tags in the monster.
28:04There's a clothesline.
28:06Down goes Jerry Lynn at heart.
28:11Splash with authority to it.
28:13No, Jerry Lynn kicks out.
28:17Boy, I hate to beat a dead horse,
28:19but when you've got a 300-pound guy
28:20flying like that,
28:22coming down across the sternum,
28:23not only does it knock the wind out of you,
28:25it causes the heart to skip a beat.
28:27And I'm sure Mike Awesome killed that horse.
28:31I don't know what in the hell that was.
28:33He just threw Jerry Lynn.
28:34It looked like a suplex,
28:35but Jerry Lynn landed three feet away
28:37and still manages to kick out
28:39four world-class athletes,
28:42giving it all they've got
28:43as we head into Heat Wave 98
28:45this Sunday night live on Pay Per View.
28:49Just incredible checks back in again
28:52when Jerry Lynn is all softened up.
28:55You're right.
28:56Look, his arms are dangling at his sides.
28:58He's really got that day's look in his eyes.
29:00He's in big trouble.
29:02Snapmare.
29:04Just incredible now riding Jerry Lynn.
29:07The momentum and tide of this match
29:09has changed so many times
29:11that this match really is up for grabs.
29:15Just incredible would love to beat Jerry Lynn
29:18here on television.
29:19Just, I mean,
29:21we're so close to Heat Wave 98.
29:24That would be going through Jerry Lynn's psyche.
29:27Justin incredible's doing the right thing here.
29:29He knows the match is up for grabs.
29:31He's slowing the pace down,
29:32reestablishing his game plan
29:34and getting ready to figure the right way
29:36to finish Jerry Lynn off.
29:37I like his style.
29:41Three elbows freeze Jerry Lynn.
29:44Sunset flip coming up.
29:45No, just incredible drops down.
29:47Winds up getting hooked.
29:49Two, no.
29:51Just incredible rolls through.
29:52He's on top.
29:53Two count.
29:54Great bridge.
29:56He's got a fight.
29:57No, he's loose.
29:58Backslide two and no.
30:04Sidewalk slam.
30:06Out of nowhere,
30:08Justin incredible sidesteps the charging.
30:11Jerry Lynn gets the arm up,
30:13using the momentum of Jerry Lynn
30:14against him.
30:14Sidewalk slam.
30:16Justin incredible might want to make a tag
30:18to that monster.
30:19And there it is.
30:20Wise choice.
30:21Mike Austin now on the offense again.
30:33Lynn's set for the ride.
30:37Oh!
30:38Jerry Lynn crossed in the corner.
30:40Hooking the leg to it.
30:41No!
30:42Jerry Lynn kicks out again.
30:44Damn, he's resilient.
30:46He just will not say die.
30:51Nice.
30:57Huden Khan run.
30:58Awesome trying to launch Jerry Lynn
31:00as he did earlier in this match.
31:02Jerry Lynn saw it coming.
31:03Tries to make the tag.
31:04Gets cut off by just incredible.
31:07At this point,
31:08I think we're seeing a better tag team strategy
31:10from just incredible and Mike Austin.
31:13Did you see how fast Mike Austin tagged out
31:15as soon as he was in trouble?
31:17They have become a cohesive team.
31:20Tip up.
31:20Missed time.
31:21And that's a receipt from the earlier low blow.
31:24In comes Tanaka.
31:26Turns just incredible inside out.
31:29Nails awesome.
31:32Well, and his team.
31:35To the elbow to the face.
31:37And again.
31:39What a close line to it.
31:41No!
31:42Just incredible kicks out.
31:45You may not like this kid,
31:46but he's tough.
31:47Tanaka now setting up just incredible.
31:54Going all the way up top.
31:57Awesome takes a drop kick.
31:59Super planks from the top.
32:02Cover.
32:02Hook in the leg.
32:03Two.
32:04No!
32:05You said earlier he had a linguistic problem.
32:08Well, he's learned extreme language very well.
32:11He knows how to call for that chair.
32:15You've got two chairs stacked.
32:17And this does not bone well for just incredible.
32:22We've seen this before.
32:26Tornado DDT on the chair.
32:28Forget about it.
32:31Mike awesome makes the save.
32:33Did you see just incredible's body?
32:35He looked like a limp rag doll.
32:37He's out.
32:37He's out in the back of the ring.
32:39Jerry Lynn with the drop kick gets the chair out of the hands of Mike awesome.
32:45Tanaka gets hot shot into the ropes.
32:50He's going for that table.
32:53Oh, my God.
32:55Tanaka is down and out on the outside of the ring.
33:09Just incredible says, I'll finish off Jerry Lynn.
33:13That's incredible.
33:15The corkscrew tombstone coming up.
33:17Jerry Lynn kicking for dear life.
33:19He's got just incredible up.
33:21Tombstone.
33:22Tombstone.
33:23Cover.
33:24He got him.
33:25Man, have these guys really proven tonight
33:37that they are warmed up, revved up, and ready to go for Heat Wave 98.
33:43Tanaka down on the outside.
33:45Justin Kremlathop is all over.
33:47He said awesome outside.
33:49He said, I'll finish off Jerry Lynn.
33:51He's Mr. Big Shot.
33:52The tombstone was reversed.
33:54One, two, three.
33:55Just incredible.
33:56Into the Heat Wave 98 with another L to Jerry Lynn.

35:56Heat Wave 98, hottest pay-per-view of the year.
36:00I'm going to tell a few things to get off my mind, Joey.
36:02I've sat back and reviewed, and we've watched in the penthouse, some of the pay-per-views.
36:06I thought and she thought that Bear LaViga was pretty darn good.
36:10We thought that a few of them missed the mark.
36:13Hey, the lighting might not have been the best on some of them.
36:15The sound might have sucked on some of them.
36:18But at this one, at Heat Wave 98 this Sunday night, man, what doesn't this one have?
36:26All the way from Big Bam Bam Bigelow and the chain wrestling of Taz
36:30to the high-flying of Sabu and Van Damme, Hikushi and Hayabushi,
36:34to the great grudge matches of Just Incredible versus Jerry Lynn,
36:38to the great feud that comes from Japan, from Masato Tanaka and Mike Gossam.
36:43What doesn't it have?
36:44This one, this one, this one is the one that puts us on the map to stay.
36:51No wrestling company in the world today can touch Heat Wave 98.
36:57Hey, just one last thing missing.
37:00She and I may not be in action, but, but,
37:04the next best thing, the next cherry on top of the sundae.
37:07We're going to be in the broadcast booth with you, Joey.
37:10Yeah, Joey.
37:11So helpful.
37:13What are you going to be wearing Sunday?
37:14Don't worry, Joey, you'll be able to see through it.
37:18But don't worry, it won't be as formal as what I have on you.
37:23I can't wait for this Sunday night, Heat Wave 98, live on Pay-Per-View.
37:28Wow.
37:28No, Jerry Lynn, Jerry Lynn with the reversal.
37:40He spikes Just Incredible.
37:42He hooks the leg.
37:44Jerry Lynn, Jerry Lynn, Jerry Lynn pulls it off.
37:52He just jammed Bigelow right in that eye.
37:55Sabu, jammed Bigelow in the eye.
38:02Fan-taminator.
38:04Sabu was behind Bigelow, tripped him up.
38:08He is a new World Television Champion.

39:03Jerry Lynn just shoves her aside.
39:05He wants to win the matchup.
39:09Are you kidding me?
39:12Inside cradle, small package.
39:14Here's the deal.
39:30Either we raise the three fingers tonight as a unit.
39:34Or I walk, brother.
39:35This is a one-time deal.
39:36I ain't got time to dilly-dally.
39:38Make a decision and we'll raise the fingers.
39:40I don't trust them.
39:45No.
39:45I don't trust them.
39:47I don't trust them.
39:48No.
40:05Oh, my God!
40:35Come on!
41:05Come on!

41:47And there's Rolling Thunder on Lance Storm.
41:53The ECW World Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm and Chris Candido have been laid out by Sabu and the World Television Champion, Mr. Monday Night, Rob Van Damme.
42:19They've got to move!
42:36Damn!
42:39Oh my God!
42:52Van Damme going for the cover.

42:59Go Go Go Go!
43:08Go Go Go Fast!
43:15Go Go Go!

44:06Holt is Beulah's brother?
44:14God!
44:23It's Tommy Dreamer!
44:25Tommy Dreamer and Spike Dudley are here!
44:30Emotions run high, especially with the Dudleys have said and done, but this is no way to settle
44:40any problem.
44:42Again, Tommy Dreamer going after Bubba Ray Dudley!
44:45How do you feel now?
44:49I'll tell you how you should feel, Dreamer.
44:52You should feel like a piece of crap!
44:58Because Beulah McGillicuddy's blood is on your hands, Dreamer.
45:07I'm going to test the blood!
45:17We're supposed to be together forever.
45:22We're supposed to meet each other forever.
45:26And now she's gone.
45:29And there's nothing I can do about it.
45:34Forever!
45:37Forever!

45:45It's sickness and it helps!
45:52For good times and and bad!
45:56And death lives!
46:01Till death do us part!
46:11The action we have seen this summer is hotter than it has ever been here in ECW.
46:17If you're not sold yet on Heatwave 98, I mean, what else can we do?
46:20What else can we say?
46:22This is, in my personal opinion, the best lineup we have ever put together for any show here at ECW.
46:30There is something for everybody.
46:32I mean, great technical wrestling, great high-flying wrestling, international superstars, and good old-fashioned ass-kicking, to use your words, ECW action!
46:46I think I can say that, you say it.
46:49This Sunday night!
46:51Don't miss out!
46:53We invite you to join us for Heatwave 98!
46:55And I'll show you just how hot a Heatwave can be.
