08:05And he didn't do it because of Savu.
08:08Savu stole Taz's thunder.
08:10Or was he just being a team player.
08:13Hello everyone and welcome to an international edition of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
08:21I'm Joey Stiles, and it has been a very eventful week here in ECW.
08:25Of course, everyone is talking about Sunday night, January 10th.
08:29The ECW guilty as charged pay-per-view.
08:32Sabu headed to challenge the franchise for the belt.
08:37Sabu out before January.
08:39You take that startup freak, and you break his neck.
08:44You break his spirit.
08:45You break his will.
08:47You break him down so I can beat his ass in January.
08:52And, Taz, I'll lay the world at your feet.
08:56I'll give you this.
09:03I'll give you this.
09:13I'll give you this, Taz.
09:15You do the hype.
09:17Now pay the price.
09:21And he did it with Taz.
09:24Watch his back.
09:25And now Taz locks off the Taz mission.
09:28Look out to Hanjime.
09:30Alfonso nails Taz the chair.
09:32Taz shakes it off.
09:34Sabu is climbing the turnbuckle.
09:35He can't escape.
09:36He can't escape.
09:40Oh, my God.
09:41Taz mission into a Taz plexe.
09:51Taz mission plexe.
09:53He turned Sabu upside down and drilled his forehead into the mat.
09:59He jammed Sabu's neck.
10:01His neck.
10:03I don't think Taz meant to do that.
10:11Look out.
10:19I think Taz is...
10:22His temper finally got the better of him.
10:25And what in the hell is he stopping away on Sabu?
10:42What in the hell?
10:43He's showing no remorse.
10:44And Van Damme has had enough of Taz.
10:47Rob Van Damme has had enough of Taz.
10:54Look at Alfonso swing away.
10:57And they can't hold Van Damme back.
10:59It has exploded here in Philadelphia.
11:04Taz stomping away on Sabu.
11:06Knocking him off the stretcher.
11:10But Katahajima is a choke.
11:11You don't clasp your hands.
11:13Taz clasped his hands.
11:14He turned it into a Taz plexe.
11:16He was trying to break Sabu's neck.
11:18It was intentional.
11:20The son of a is guilty.
11:22I struck once tonight.
11:28And look at what I left behind.
11:30And I ain't done.
11:32There's two more receipts over to you, Sabu.
11:35And you know they're coming.
11:36And I know you're coming back from this next thing
11:38that I just did to you with this suplex.
11:40Brother, this ain't enough to keep you down.
11:41And I know it ain't.
11:42Because I don't want it to keep you down.
11:44I know you better than anybody.
11:46You know me better than anybody.
11:49So, Sabu, you come back nice and strong, brother.
11:52Because I'll pick my spot again.
11:54I owe you two receipts.
11:55I'm striking twice on you again, brother.
11:59Sabu has pinned the front.
12:02My God, Taz got him again.
12:04Two, brother.
12:05Receipt number two.
12:08Sabu is unconscious.
12:103D.
12:11Dudley Death Drop.
12:12Dudley Death Drop.
12:16And that led it
12:21to the put-up or shut-up challenge
12:23for Tokyo, Japan.
12:24For Dudley Boys,
12:25the champion said,
12:27we'll go it alone.
12:28No sign guy.
12:29No Joel Gertens.
12:31And no big dick.
12:33Bill Alfonso countered by saying,
12:35if Sabu and Rob Van Damme
12:36don't win the belts in Japan,
12:37I'll split them up.
12:42Halfway around the world, baby.
12:43We're coming.
12:44My men are hungry.
12:46And we're coming back full.
12:47I guarantee you
12:48that we don't beat the jelly boys tonight.
12:50Right through these doors.
12:52I'm splitting a team, baby.
12:53I'm golfing out of pro wrestling.
12:55I'm going right back to
12:57day four, daddy.
12:58It's my goal.
12:59It's my goal.
13:00Say, Fousey, Fousey.
13:02Calm down, all right?
13:03I mean, yes, we're in Japan.
13:04Even though I told
13:05my former boss man,
13:07Mrs. B,
13:07that I'd have enough
13:08for Planet Asia,
13:09I've returned.
13:11I came back
13:11to reclaim something
13:12that Sabu lost
13:14a little while ago.
13:15I mean,
13:16we misplaced a while ago.
13:18And hey,
13:20is captain of our team,
13:21I think,
13:22or, I'm sorry,
13:23carrier of our team,
13:25no, no, no,
13:26it's my Japanese translation.
13:27Let me try.
13:28Is the one talking
13:29to the camera right now
13:31in everybody's favorite
13:32wrestler?
13:33I feel it's my responsibility
13:35to bring these titles back
13:36because, after all,
13:38I know that Sabu's hurt
13:39that I'm the world
13:40television champion.
13:41I bring that belt
13:42to the ring every night
13:43and, Sabu,
13:44you only get to wear it
13:45at the hotel.
13:46So what I'm going to do
13:47is I'm going to bring back
13:48the world tag team champions.
13:50Hey,
13:51all we have to do
13:52is kick the Dudley's asses

14:00Sabu.
14:01We got the Dudley's.
14:02If you're going to be
14:03mad at somebody,
14:05be mad at Sabu.
14:06No,

14:07for having your hopes up
14:08of keeping those belts.
14:10You know,
14:10they belong to us.

25:33who believes
25:33Tanaka will be
25:34the champ
25:35is Mike Awesome.
25:36Great agility by the big man!
25:42This could be over fast!
25:43No!
25:43Two count!
25:44You can tell he's powerful
25:46by looking at him
25:47but man
25:48Mike Awesome!
25:48Justin Truspe with that little move!
25:55He to the midsection
25:56to the side
25:57headlocked
25:59He's not the block!
26:01He mother
26:02.
26:02And then
26:03he is not the
26:03big man
26:04Just looking at him
26:06just looking at him
26:06He is not the

26:11He is not the
26:12big man
26:13I am the
26:14big man
26:14This could be over fast!
26:15No!
26:15Two count!
26:16You can tell
26:17he's powerful
26:17Tanaka's staying one step ahead of Mike Awesome, trying to leapfrog, overhead belly-to-belly
26:29suplex, Awesome is just so powerful, Awesome lands on his feet, slingshot shoulder block,
26:44Tanaka ran right into it, splashed by Awesome, two count only.
26:53One thing about Tanaka that we have seen here in his short stay in ECW has been that he can absorb an incredible amount of punishment and come back.
27:05Clothesline sends Tanaka backwards over the ropes, crashing into the timekeeper's table.
27:14He sees him! He sees him! He sees him! He sees him! He sees him!
27:18Unbelievable! He sees him! He sees him! He sees him!
27:21Mike Awesome, 295 pounds with a tope and a suicide dive.
27:26Tanaka tried to get out of the way, just wasn't fast enough.
27:33This humongous man is truly awesome.
27:45Awesome now climbing the turnbuckles all the way up top.
27:49Clothesline almost decapitates Tanaka, two count only.
27:54Right there!
28:02Awesome has so many attributes.
28:04He's huge, he's strong, he's agile, he's quick.
28:09Tanaka's greatest attribute is his heart.
28:14Release German suplex!
28:17Tanaka's up!
28:20Scoop into a power slam! Snap the big man over!
28:27Did you see what I was talking about?
28:29After that huge belt in the back suplex, Tanaka gets right back up!
28:33He refuses to be hurt!
28:35Sprainboard clothesline!
28:36Tanaka now with a steel chair!
28:50Chair to the midsection!
28:52Elbow to the back of the head!
28:54Mike Awesome went down like a giant redwood tree!
29:13Awesome made me out!
29:16That ramp is 75 feet long and Tanaka used every inch of it!
29:26Tanaka now perched up top!
29:29Missile drop kick right to the huge pectoral muscles of Awesome!
29:34Two and a half!
29:36Awesome is still with us!
29:38To cover a guy like Mike Awesome without hooking a leg!
29:42It sounds so simple but so often overlooked!
29:45You'll never pin a guy that strong!
29:47Especially if you're Tanaka's size!
29:49Tanaka just jumped over the top rope!
29:53May have been desperation on the part of Mike Awesome!
29:57Tanaka was lucky he could grab hold of that rope!
30:01Otherwise here to smack himself off that floor!
30:04And that doesn't feel good!
30:06Notice there's no mats out there!
30:08He's not going to tear again!
