00:13Acid drop! Acid drop!
00:15♪
00:18Spike being thrown out of the pipe!
00:20♪
00:22Oh, my God!
00:25Spike was throwing sideways through the table!
00:29His knee! His knee buckled!
00:31His right knee, the same knee he had on the steel rail!
00:36Rhyno was aiming for his knee!
00:38He drove his massive shoulder into the knees!
00:41Oh, little Spike got hit on the back of his knee, sideways!
00:45Human knees don't bend that way!
00:48It looked like Spike was superhuman,
00:50but he could take anything Rhyno just dealt him!
00:54Finish him off!
00:56And your opponent tonight is gonna be,
00:59uh, let's see now, Rhyno!

04:09Come on, Roy!

05:22We're on!
05:24We're on!
05:25We're on!
05:26We're on!
05:27The mics are on!
05:28Are you done striking people, first of all?
05:29Well, you know what?
05:30That could happen to you too.
05:31You put your hands on me again.
05:32This one I have just tried, is almost beyond the bounds of even what I find entertaining.
05:33I mean, Rhynos, a chosen one, the best of words.
05:34I mean, Rhyno's the chosen one,
05:36the chosen ECW world title as a champion by the network,
05:40but, I mean, that was over the top, was it not?
05:43That's the guy's wife.
05:44Rhyno, Gord, Lori Follington,
05:47the Sandman's wife, for a table.
05:51I think said that, though, Joanne.
05:53I mean, I'm not advocating this in any way,
05:55but why would she strike a wrestler?
05:56I mean, we know that that's just not a smart thing to do.
05:58Stop. Stop. Just stop. Let's stop.
06:04You do the pay-per-view, I'll just leave.
06:20You do the pay-per-view.
06:22Steve Corino is insulting the Sandman's wife
06:38and his 10-year-old son, Tyler.
06:41Lori Follington has heard enough.
06:53The American Dream and the Miodic Elbow.
06:57Elektra has turned on Danny Doering in Roadkill.
07:01She's truly living dangerously.
07:03Mike Awesome, a double champion,
07:06wants two title defenses in one night,
07:10and Kid Cash is made an example of.
07:17Oh, my God!
07:23The Impact players in a three-way dance
07:26for the World Tag Team title.
07:29Kanaka pins the World Heavyweight Champion,
07:32Mike Awesome, the Piledriver on Tommy Dreamer,
07:35and once again, the Impact players
07:38are the World Tag Team champions.
07:45Right on Mrs. Crazy.
07:48Kanaka's got the legs,
07:49right on Mrs. Crazy.
07:52Tajiri has blinded the Insane Luchador.
07:55Rob Van Dam face-to-face with Rhyno.
07:59Van Dam, broken leg and all,
08:02puts Rhyno face-first through the table.
08:09There's the Moonstone.
08:10We've got a new World Television Champion.
08:14Rhyno. Rhyno has attacked Rob Van Dam.
08:19♪
08:25This is a dream.
08:30Hello, everyone, and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV.
08:33I'm Joey Styles.
08:34It is just unbelievable
08:37the way the 24-year-old Man-Monster Rhyno
08:40has scored his way through Extreme Championship Wrestling.
08:44He is taking claims for breaking the legs of Rob Van Dam,
08:49Little Spike Dudley is going to be out for nine months.
08:52Nine months because of Rhyno,
08:54and it didn't stop there.
08:55It was on ECW, on TNN.
08:57He did the same to Nujab.
09:01Does he have any idea how high up he is?
09:07He's out of his mind!
09:09If he did, would it stop him?
09:13Oh, my God!
09:19♪
09:21Nujab may have broken himself in half.
09:24He's clutching at his ribs.
09:27And Jack Victory looks to be unconscious.
09:31♪
09:34Jack Victory came to the aid of Steve Corino,
09:38but at what price?
09:41Nujab having to be held to his feet by ECW security.
09:48This matchup with Steve Corino is still not over.
09:52And Nujab is in absolutely no condition to continue.
09:58But then again, neither is Steve Corino.
10:01Corino is semi-conscious.
10:03Nujab clutching his ribs, both men are down.
10:07This is the kind of fight that I like to get into.
10:12Well, that would make you more courageous than Cyrus.
10:15That's another story.
10:17Nujab slowly getting into the ring,
10:20trying to pull himself into the ring.
10:22And, my God, how excruciating that must be
10:25to grasp the rope and pull yourself up.
10:28Look at Jim Oswin.
10:30He's in better shape than both these guys.
10:32And he's not in better shape than anybody.
10:34And it's Tajiri!
10:36Go, Jiro Tajiri!
10:38And Rhino!
10:40Rhino just cut Nujab in half!
10:44Steve Corino on top!
10:47And Steve Corino just defeated Nujab!
10:53Steve Corino!
10:59That has got to be the biggest victory
11:02in Steve Corino's career!
11:05Regardless of how he won!
11:09Courage can only get Nujab so far.
11:12Steve Corino used his ample resources
11:16to put Nujab away.
11:18Ample resources!
11:19It took four men to beat Nujab!
11:25Here's the OneWrestling.com replay.
11:27What needs to be said?
11:29Here's a man diving out of a balcony!
11:33Onto a concrete floor!
11:36And Nujab!
11:38And Nujab!
11:40And Nujab!
11:42And Nujab!
11:44And Nujab!
11:46And Nujab!
11:48And Nujab!
11:50And Nujab!
11:52And Nujab!
11:54And Nujab!
11:56And Nujab!
11:58And Nujab!
12:00Living Dangerously was a pay-per-view
12:02that no one in ECW will ever forget.
12:04Including and especially Rob Van Dam.
12:06Who can never forget
12:08Rhyno goring him in half.
12:10You can bet the whole show
12:12is looking for some epic payback on Rhyno.
12:16As you saw at the beginning of our program
12:18our special Living Dangerously Extreme Open
12:21Elektra turned her back
12:23on Danny Doering and Roadkill during the pay-per-view.
12:26Elektra, recently one of the most
12:28downloaded females on the internet
12:30perhaps, is it going to her head?
12:33Is that why she turned her back?
12:35Could it have been Louie Dangerously
12:37who backed this big push for Elektra
12:39on the internet?
12:41Could he be planning a hostile takeover
12:43of ECW with Elektra at his side?
12:45We take you back to Living Dangerously.
12:47Living Dangerously!
12:49A pay-per-view I named
12:51after myself!
12:53And tonight I've achieved
12:55one of my greatest accomplishments!
12:57But Paul Heyman
12:59there's tons of people in the world
13:01including you, let alone women
13:03but hell hath no fury
13:05as a woman scorned
13:07because when the women want a push
13:09they know where to come!
13:11Hey Paul
13:13how long do we know each other?
13:1510, 11 years?
13:17Remember all those nights
13:19we hung out at the China Club
13:21when you were a big somebody
13:23and I was a nobody
13:25and you could have helped me
13:27but you didn't
13:29because you're nothing
13:31but a man, man, man!
13:33Danny Doering
13:35I'm a psycho bitch
13:37I'm a psycho bitch
13:39I'm jealous
13:41Jealous of what?
13:43I'm a woman in her 30s
13:45who could have anyone or anything
13:47she wants and you couldn't hang with me
13:49cause you're a little boy!

14:10I personally hate
14:12you!
14:14And I know why you hate me too
14:16because you're jealous
14:18because
14:20you're bigger than mine
14:22There just happens to be
14:24a new boss in town
14:26and his name happens to be
14:28Lou
14:30E
14:32Dangerously
14:34That is one
14:36angry, crazy,
14:38jealous broad
14:40excuse my language
14:42standing by right now
14:44two young men who agree with me
14:46Danny Doering and Road Kill
14:48with their thoughts on Electra
14:50You know, Danny Doering
14:52isn't one to brag
14:54but tonight
14:56I'm gonna do some bragging
14:58You see, I've had hotter
15:00younger, tastier
15:02and wetter women
15:04than you
15:06That's right, you 53-year-old bag of silicon
15:08I picked up more women than you
15:10a dime a dozen
15:12all I need is a stack of singles to get them
15:14You duck-lipped
15:16bag of silicon
15:18You duck-lipped
15:20bag of crap
15:22The next woman I'm gonna bring to the ring
15:24the next whore I pick up at some strip club
15:26or massage parlor
15:28isn't gonna be mistaken for my mother
15:30Oh no! There's two rules
15:32that Danny Doering lives by right now
15:34and one of them is to never trust
15:36a piece of crap woman like you
15:38and the other one is
15:40what you taught me
15:42no matter how bad it smells
15:44it just tastes like
15:46Fuck!
16:08You know the old saying
16:13Hell hath no fury
16:15like a tuna
16:21Scorned
16:39It was at Living Dangerously
16:41that the Impact players became
16:43ECW World Tag Team Champions
16:45But it was recently
16:47at the ECW Arena
16:49that Lance Storm
16:51and Justin Credible
16:53made international headlines
16:55when they tore down the house
16:57against Jotto and Gato
16:59Justin Credible ties up
17:01with Gato whose name translated
17:03means Outlaw Way
17:05He holds victories over Steve Malenko
17:07Chris Jericho
17:09and Chris Benoit does Gato
17:11On the back of his hockey jersey
17:13he obviously knows what year we're in
17:15which is good considering we're nine weeks in
17:19Swinging DDT by Justin Credible
17:23Face first into the top turnbuckle
17:25goes Gato
17:29Justin Credible relentless
17:31in his attack
17:37There's the tag
17:39Another half of the Impact plan
17:41Front kick on Gato
17:47Straight right hand
17:49and did that ever rock Gato
17:53What a standing dropkick
17:57Outstanding vertical leap
17:59And now Lance Storm
18:01flash talking Jotto
18:03We know he doesn't like foreigners
18:05We saw what he did last week
18:07Isn't he from Canada?
18:09Tanaka? No, he's from Japan
18:11Don't you pay attention
18:13Professor
18:15Gato needs to make the tag
18:17into Jotto
18:19Hammering away
18:21Justin Credible in the corner
18:23Life is tough
18:27Hook to the eye by Justin Credible
18:29puts a hold to the offensive series
18:31by Gato
18:33Snapman
18:36Rear chinlock
18:38Dawn Marie shouting
18:40encouragement to Justin Credible
18:42I had Dawn Marie
18:44in a rear chinlock once
18:46I'll tell you later
18:50Up and up it goes Gato
18:52Gets a two
18:56It almost gets decapitated
18:58by a hooking clothesline
19:02Justin Credible
19:04Lance Storm showing no respect
19:06for Gato and Jotto
19:08who are known as team don't respect
19:10in the FMW promotion in Japan
19:12They live to mock authority
19:14Right hand
19:16right on the point of the jaw
19:24Very nonchalant cover by Lance Storm
19:28When Lance Storm tagged with Chris Jericho
19:30in the WAR promotion in Japan
19:32This is the team that they fought
19:34more often than any other team
19:36in the land of the rising stars
19:40Nice clothesline by Gato
19:42who now has to make the tag
19:44to his partner Jotto
19:46Lance Storm looking to tag in Justin Credible
19:48He does
19:50In comes Jotto
19:54Clothesline on Justin Credible
19:56and one for Lance Storm as well
20:02Justin Credible hits the steel
20:04and Lance Storm all over Jotto
20:06Series of knife-edge chops
20:08and reversal out of the corner
20:10Nice vertical leap
20:12and Lance Storm gets crushed
20:14This will hinder future vertical leaps
20:23What a belly to back superflex
20:25from the top turnbuckle
20:27that may be old
20:29In comes Jason with the steel chair
20:31and the impact flare
20:33But it looks like that backfired
20:35Who's going to save Jason?
20:37Drop toe hold
20:39and an elbow on the chair
20:41It's doubtful Jason will be a factor
20:43in the remainder of this matchup
20:47Reversal, knee to the back by Justin Credible
20:49A faux pas by the impact flare
20:51Roll up
20:55Singapore Kane and a schoolboy
20:57That'll be all
20:59No!
21:06Jotto and Gato came to fight
21:10It looks like Jotto and Gato
21:12after that 18-hour plane ride
21:14or whatever it is
21:16have not come to lay down for anybody
21:20Justin Credible now calling for a table
21:24Jason and Dawn Maria Black
21:29The table now being set up in the corner
21:35He's going to suplex Jotto
21:37through the table
21:40No! Counter!
21:42Waist block!
21:44Block!
21:46Justin Credible goes low!
21:48Charges!
21:52Hip cross through the table
21:54In comes Lance Storm
21:56He's all over Jotto
21:59Double underhook
22:03Tiger driver!
22:05There's the tag to Gato
22:07Gato up top
22:09What a frog splash!
22:11Cover!
22:15Storm kicks out
22:17Low thigh duck under the eye
22:21Jawbreaker on Justin Credible
22:23Frog kick
22:25Justin Credible to the outside
22:27There's the tag into Jotto
22:29Look at a double team Lance Storm
22:33Elbow to the jump
22:35Low slide in the corner
22:41This is it!
22:43We're looking at an upset
22:45Upside down goes Lance Storm
22:47He gets landed
22:51Lance Storm gets the left shoulder up
22:57Easy come, easy go
23:14Lance Storm is on Green Street
23:18No!
23:20He's suckered in Jotto
23:22Super kick by Justin Credible
23:24Stuffed pile driver on Jotto
23:26Cover!
23:54Go, go, go, go, go!
24:24This is the undisputed world tag team champions
24:26From Calgary
24:28Alberta, Canada
24:30Now that my friends
24:32Is Justin Credible!
24:54This is a dangerously pay-per-view
24:56In the finals against Rhino
24:58With help from Rob Van Dam
25:00Versus the man
25:02He defeated in the semi-finals
25:04The Sicilian shooter
25:06Little Guido
25:08Nice takedown by Guido
25:10Takedown now by Super Crazy
25:16Guido's shoulders are down
25:18Go, go, go, go!
25:22Front kick by Super Crazy
25:24Sends Guido for the ride
25:26Reversal on the Mexican whip leaf frog
25:28Down goes Guido
25:30Cabrera moonsault misses
25:32Crazy lands on his feet
25:34Up he goes
25:36And there it is!
25:38The Fujiwara Armbar!
25:40Guido made Kid Cash tap out
25:42With a Fujiwara Armbar to advance
25:44In the World Television Title Tournament
25:46Does Super Crazy make it to the ropes?
25:48He does
25:50And better be careful
25:52Because the 6 foot 8, 600 pound
25:54Big Sally Graziano
25:56Is lurking around ringside
25:58Orbiting around ringside
26:00Would be a better description
26:02Hands a planet unto himself
26:08Guido lands on his feet
26:10Locks the fist
26:12Lands a triumvirate
26:14Forearms
26:16And now Guido is setting the turnbuckles
26:18Pretty rare for Guido
26:20Crazy going up as well
26:22They're jockeying for position up top
26:26Guido trying to throw Crazy
26:28To the floor
26:30But it's Super Crazy who gets the superplex
26:32Now looking to finish off Guido
26:36Sick in ropes, springboard can't run
26:38Against a two-in
26:40That is all
26:44Crazy
26:46Guido throws Crazy
26:48To the outside
26:50Kind of guarded him in that time
26:58Big Sal charges
27:00And misses
27:02To the delight of thousands upon thousands
27:04Watching here at Asbury Park, New Jersey
27:08Super Crazy hoists
27:10Big Sal over the guardrail
27:13Drop toehold
27:15Guido eats the guardrail
27:17Both members of the full-blooded Italians
27:19Now Little Guido and Big Sal
27:21On the first rope
27:25Springboard launches off the guardrail
27:27What balance by the insane luchador
27:37Super Crazy taking the fight
27:39To both Little Guido and Big Sal
27:41Here tonight
27:43On ECW Hardcore TV
27:51Guido again
27:53Throw over the guardrail
28:01Crazy chops Guido right in the chest
28:05Crazy on the guardrail once again
28:07And hits the moonsault
28:17Super Crazy is out of his mind
28:21Lost the name
28:25Otherwise I guess we'd call him
28:27Yeah, he's all there
28:33Guido retreating
28:35Didn't quite make it all the way
28:37Out of the ring that time
28:54I'm not sure if Guido speaks Spanish
28:56But he certainly knows he is being hammered
29:02Big Sal shouting
29:04A little encouragement to Little Guido
29:14Crazy got to about cinco that time
29:16Two count for Guido
29:20Guido now
29:22The juji gatame trying to hyperextend the elbow
29:26Crazy hanging on to Guido's legs
29:28For leverage
29:30Guido now up
29:34Drives Crazy's face into the canvas
29:36Come on
29:38That was close
29:40Two and three quarters
29:42Says referee Jim Molina
29:48Resounding round of boos
29:50For the Sicilian shooter
29:52Here in Asbury Park, New Jersey
30:00Nice chop to the corner
30:02Italian whip
30:04Tip up
30:06Crazy caught
30:08And planted
30:10Nice cover
30:12Guido rocking all the way back
30:14Still not enough
30:20Big Sal now in the ring
30:22The 600 pounder
30:26Guido ascending the turnbuckles
30:28And still going up another two feet
30:30Onto the shoulders of Big Sal
30:36That elbow dropped
30:38From almost 12 feet up
30:40And there's another elbow with 600 pounds behind it
30:42Cover
30:48And Crazy miraculously
30:50Kicks out
30:52Guido's looking for the maratona
30:56Crazy goes lower
31:00And folds up Guido
31:04Top rope springboard moonsault
31:08Guido kicks out
31:10And Crazy can't believe it
31:16Guido is looking for redemption
31:18From living dangerously
31:20Will he get it?
31:22And there's Murray Park
31:24That's not the way
31:26Crazy puts him away
31:30Your winner of the match
31:32Super Crazy
31:34The new world television champion
31:36Super Crazy will defend that belt
31:38Next Friday night on TNN
31:408pm Eastern and Pacific
31:42Last week on TNN Mike Austin defended
31:44The world heavyweight title against
31:46Masato Tanaka
31:48Here's the story
32:06The following contest
32:08Is scheduled for one fall
32:10It is for
32:12The ECW
32:14World Heavyweight
32:17Championship
32:20No other wrestler in the sport
32:22Holds more victories
32:24Over Mike Austin
32:26Than Masato Tanaka
32:28And that includes
32:30World Heavyweight title matches
32:32Masato Tanaka
32:34Has taken the ECW World Heavyweight
32:36Title from Austin
32:38Once before
32:40Can he do it here again tonight
32:42In Asbury Park, New Jersey
32:44We won't have to wait very long
32:46To find out
32:50Is there a more
32:52Physically impressive specimen
32:54In the entire industry
32:56Than Mike Austin
33:00He stands 6'6
33:02And weighs just under
33:04300 pounds
33:06And he has perpetually
33:08Pissed off at the world
33:10Masato Tanaka
33:12Specifically
33:14Although the Impact players
33:16Emerged from living dangerously
33:18As the new World Tag Team
33:20Champions, Raven and
33:22Austin, the former champions
33:24Were eliminated first
33:26When Tanaka put away Austin
33:28With a roaring elbow
33:30He weighs in tonight
33:32At 240 pounds
33:34And hails
33:36From Wakanawa, Japan
33:40Masato
33:42Tanaka
33:48His opponent, he's accompanied
33:50Ringside by his manager
33:52George Jeff Jones
33:56He represents
33:58Weighing in tonight at
34:00296 pounds
34:02Hailing from
34:04Tampa, Florida
34:06He's the reigning
34:08ECW
34:10World Heavyweight Champion
34:14Ladies and gentlemen
34:16Mike Austin
34:22Mike Austin and Masato Tanaka
34:24Have given us
34:26Some of the greatest ECW
34:28World title matches
34:30In the history of this promotion
34:32And tonight, Joel
34:34Should be no exception
34:36And they have given each other
34:38Ample opportunity
34:40For one upmanship
34:42And quite a rivalry
34:46John Finnegan checking
34:48Tanaka and Austin
34:50For any hidden weapons
34:52As if they need any
34:56There's the bell
34:58And there's a cheer
35:02That one didn't remain hidden
35:04For too long
35:06Now right out in the open
35:10Tanaka's got one of his own
35:12He responds in kind
35:14That's how it's gonna be
35:24Tanaka's getting up
35:28He done
35:30And Austin
35:34And Austin takes the steel chair
35:36Right between the eyes
35:42Mike Austin's up for the ride
35:46Tanaka charges
35:48And drives the elbow
35:50Into the face of Mike Austin
35:52Tanaka going up top
35:54Hooks Austin
35:56Tornado DDT countered
35:58Reversal
36:02Deep powerslam
36:04Nice rotation by Tanaka
36:10Dropkick sends the heavyweight champion
36:12Of the world to the outside
36:14And Tanaka again
36:16Setting the turnbuckle
36:22Tanaka hurls himself
36:24At Mike Austin
36:28Tanaka!
36:34Austin hits the steel guardrail
36:38Tanaka's got another chance
36:42But Austin got the boot up
36:50Austin cinching up Tanaka
36:52Oh he sprints
36:58Tanaka with the tornado DDT
37:00On the heavyweight champion
37:02Of the world
37:04But can he follow up
37:06Austin dropped him ribs first
37:08On the steel guardrail
37:10And that has certainly slowed down
37:12Masato Tanaka
37:14Tanaka going up
37:18Missile dropkick to the back of the head
37:22Turns over Austin
37:24Lateral press hooks the leg
37:26Two count only
37:28And you can bet that Austin's attempt
37:30To take away speed
37:32From Tanaka was certainly
37:34Not inadvertent
37:38Tanaka gets planted
37:40As you pointed out
37:42You can bet that
37:44Cover! No!
37:48Again Tanaka favoring his ribcage
37:52You can bet that the judge
37:55And the world heavyweight champion
37:57Had a specific game plan
37:59Coming into this matchup
38:01And it looks like they want to attack
38:03The ribs of Tanaka
38:07Running close behind
38:09And a splash
38:11This may be all
38:13Tanaka kicks out while clutching
38:15At the left side of his ribcage
38:19And how excruciating
38:21It must be just for Tanaka to kick out
38:23To get wind in his lungs
38:25To expand his ribcage
38:27If indeed something is threatened
38:29Send out Austin Bomb
38:33And Tanaka manages
38:35To get the right shoulder up
38:37Austin is visibly
38:39And audibly frustrated
38:41And is looking to put away
38:43Masato Tanaka
38:45And it might not take much more
38:49It may just take that
38:51One splash, he lifts the leg
38:53Tanaka kicks out again
38:59And now Mike Austin
39:01Out of frustration
39:03Instructs the judge
39:05To slide him a table
39:07Just look at the punishment
39:09That these wrestlers
39:11Are willing to dish out
39:13And absorb all in the name
39:15Of the ECW
39:17World Heavyweight Title
39:19A title that certainly
39:21Is worth fighting for
39:23And apparently
39:25May be worth maiming
39:27One another for
39:31Tanaka wriggles free
39:33Perhaps saving his own life
39:35Goes downstairs
39:37On Austin
39:43Tanaka driven for the table
39:49That should be all covered
39:53No!
39:55Tanaka miraculously
39:57Kicks out
39:59And you have to wonder
40:01How much of that
40:03Is a wrestler's natural instinct
40:05And how much of it
40:07Is just Masato Tanaka
40:09Being one tough son of a
40:11Tanaka landed
40:13Once again
40:15Will that be enough?
40:19You are witnessing
40:21One man using
40:23Everything within him
40:25To dish out as much
40:27Physical punishment as possible
40:29And another man
40:31Using everything within him
40:33Not to succumb
40:35To that physical punishment
40:37Because tonight
40:39One of these two men
40:41Mike Austin or Masato Tanaka
40:43Will leave Asbury Park, New Jersey
40:45As the ECW
40:47World Heavyweight Champion
40:51This rivalry between
40:53Tanaka and Austin
40:55Knows no boundaries
40:57Single warfare, team warfare
40:59In the United States
41:01Or internationally
41:03Tonight it's the title
41:05That's the primary focus
41:07They both got their eyes on the prize
41:09The table set up
41:11Tanaka now climbing all the way
41:13To the top, cinching up Austin
41:15Austin hammering his way out
41:21Tanaka fighting for his life
41:23Up there
41:28Superplex through the table
41:36Masato Tanaka
41:38Despite punching
41:40At the left side of his ribcage
41:42Muscled over Austin
41:45Austin kicks out
41:47Not the way I see it Joey
41:49He didn't kick out
41:51He got the shoulder up
41:53And there is a difference
41:55Austin is right for the picking
41:57Right now
41:59Tanaka fighting through the pain
42:03Lifts the elbow in the face
42:05Of the World Heavyweight Champion
42:07Clothesline dunk
42:09German suplex
42:11Face release
42:13Austin charges
42:15And there's the roaring elbow
42:17He's got Austin beat
42:19The judge is distracting
42:21John Finnegan
42:23Tanaka's on top
42:25It's Raven
42:31Raven with the even flow DDT
42:33On Tanaka
42:35What is the deal
42:37Between Raven and Mike Austin
42:39And who negotiated
42:41Whatever deal there is
42:43Even flow DDT
42:45On referee John Finnegan
42:49What is behind this
42:51Unholy alliance
42:53Of Raven and Mike Austin
42:55At first
42:57It was just a coming together
42:59Against common enemies
43:01Tanaka and Dreamer
43:03At the ECW arena
43:05They won the world tag team title
43:11Oh my god
43:13Why would Raven help Austin
43:15Destroy Tanaka
43:17And keep the ECW
43:19World Heavyweight title
43:23What's in it for Raven
43:25What about Raven
43:27What does Raven get out of this
43:29Unholy alliance
43:31What about Tanaka
43:33He's hurt bad
43:35And every ECW wrestler
43:37Without command of the English language
43:39It's Tommy Dreamer
43:41Tommy Dreamer has come to the aid
43:43Of his new tag team partner
43:45Even flow DDT
43:47On Dreamer
43:55And Raven's got the stunt rags
43:57It's the Bowery Booger Blower
43:59It's on the face
44:01Of Tommy Dreamer
44:03Raven and Austin
44:05Have come together
44:07Perhaps
44:09Only to drive
44:11Tanaka and Dreamer out of ECW
44:13No
44:27Would somebody get some help
44:29For Tommy Dreamer
44:33Why
44:35Why
44:39Why Raven and Austin
44:41Why
44:45It wasn't just coincidence
44:47At the ECW arena
44:49When Austin and Raven
44:51Were teamed together
44:53It wasn't just because they had
44:55Common enemies across the ring
44:57Somebody decided
44:59That it would be a good idea
45:02To deal the most dangerous
45:04Physical specimen
45:06With the man that has perhaps
45:08The most dangerous
45:10Psychological dementia
45:12In ECW
45:14This was a plot
45:16That was very effective
45:18What a physical confrontation
45:20We saw here tonight
45:22Masato Tanaka
45:24Is down
45:26Tommy Dreamer is down
45:28Mike Austin and Raven
45:30Have formed an unholy alliance
45:32Tonight
45:34In Asbury Park, New Jersey
45:36Was a night
45:38That none of us in ECW
45:40Will ever forget
45:42Tune in next week
45:44To ECW
45:46On TNN
45:48When we try to figure out
45:50Just what the hell happened
45:52Here tonight
