00:00Hello, everyone, and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV.
00:07I'm Jerry Styles at the jam-packed, sold-out in-advance

00:16A challenger for the ECW World Tag Team title belt,
00:22Nova and Chetty look up as Just Incredible
00:28enters the ring with the self-proclaimed sexiest man on Earth, Jason.
00:41This is ECW's debut in Kansas City.
00:52And here comes the other half of the Impact Players.
00:56Two-time ECW World Tag Team Champions.
01:06Nova and Chetty have been breathing down the necks of the Impact Players,
01:12and speaking of breathing, a lot of heavy panting going on here at the Uptown Theater
01:18as Dawn Marie enters the ring.

04:26Lance, let's get the hell out of here.
04:38Last week, the Impact Players barely eked out a victory
04:43over Mike Awesome and Raven
04:46when Francine accidentally threw powder in the eyes of Raven.
04:51Will the Impact Players be fortunate enough
04:55to leave Kansas City still World Tag Team Champions tonight?
05:01Or is tonight the night that Nova and Chetty reach up and snatch the brass ring?
05:10I didn't come to Kansas City to walk in the back.
05:13Get your ass in this ring.
05:24And Nova is in no mood to deal with the Impact Players' head games tonight.
05:31And Nova is in no mood to deal with the Impact Players' head games tonight.

06:05First graduate of ECW's House of Hardcore.
06:09Graduate hell, the first survivor.
06:13Collar and elbow tie-up.
06:16Chetty backed up again.
06:23Life edge chop!
06:26There's a trifecta. Just incredible.
06:29With the tip up, nicely done.
06:31Leap frog, nicely done as well.
06:33Headlock now. Chetty shoves him off.
06:35Shoulder block. Down goes Chetty.
06:37Up and over goes Just Incredible.
06:39Through the legs of Chris Chetty.
06:41Front kick.
06:42Beautiful leaping scissor kick.
06:48Here's the tag to Nova.
06:55Double hip toss.
06:59Senton form.
07:01And an elbow.
07:03And now Lance Storm hits the floor.
07:12Nova really opening up on Just Incredible.
07:14Reversal.
07:16Gets the knee up into the chest of Just Incredible.
07:19Stucks the clothesline.
07:21But Lance Storm takes down Nova.
07:25There's the legal tag to Lance Storm.
07:28Nova wide open for that front kick.
07:30And a straight right hand.
07:40And there's Jason with that cheap shot.
07:44Ramming his fist into the face of Nova.
07:50Nova now head first into the top turnbuckle.
07:52And again, there's that straight right hand of Lance Storm.
08:01And now Nova hammering Lance Storm.
08:07Nova said his head too soon in pain.
08:11Clothesline takes him down.
08:13Another tag made by the World Tag Team Champions.
08:15Back in comes Just Incredible.
08:23Right hand rocks Nova.
08:25We want to check and make sure all of his teeth are in his mouth.
08:29And the fans really getting on the case of Dawn Marie.
08:35Dawn Marie now popular here in Missouri.
08:38The show me state.
08:40I think I have a couple of things I'd like her to show me.
08:42Did I say that?
08:44Gertner sneaking into me.
08:46And possessed.
08:49Snapmare takes over Nova.
08:51Full head of steam.
08:53Both feet.
08:55Put Nova in the head and the shoulder.
08:57That made the all lateral press to it.
08:59No.
09:01Just Incredible did not have all of his weight down across the shoulders of Nova.
09:05Nova able to find the back door.
09:07Two count only, says referee Mike Keener.
09:10And now Just Incredible riding Nova.
09:13Very simple wrestling move.
09:15Another great shot of Dawn Marie.
09:17And again.
09:19What other kind of shot of Dawn Marie is there besides break?
09:25Trifecta of elbows.
09:27Freeze lands Storm.
09:29But Just Incredible hangs on to the hair.
09:31Swinging DDT.
09:33And that may be all for Nova.
09:35Swinging DDT.
09:37And that may be all for Nova.
09:46Jason now.
09:48Handing the table in to Just Incredible.
09:50And that does not bode well for the challengers.
09:52Nova and Miss Trini.
09:58Table now being set up in the corner.
10:01In front of this sold out crowd here at the Uptown Theater.
10:04Sold out in advance as a matter of fact.
10:06You couldn't buy a ticket today.
10:10Nova puts the brakes on.
10:12Waist lock.
10:14Just Incredible with the elbow over the eye.
10:17And now there's a steel chair.
10:26DDT on the steel chair.
10:28Nice counter by Nova.
10:29Nova has got to make the tag to Chris Chetty.
10:31Now is the time for Nova to get out and tag his partner in.
10:44Nova makes the tag.
10:46In comes Chetty.
10:47Hammers Just Incredible.
10:51Just Incredible.
10:53He's knocked out of his boots.
10:54Upside down he goes.
10:56Back into the ring.
10:57Lands on his feet.
11:00And there's the Amityville Horror that should be our new champion.
11:03Lance Storm saves the World Tag Team Championship for the Impact Players.
11:14Nova and Chetty now in control.
11:17Low blow by Lance Storm.
11:19Nova all the way to the floor.
11:21And nails Chetty from behind.
11:26Phone call.
11:27Lance Storm gets super kicked by his own tag team partner.
11:31Reversal.
11:35Chetty going for the backslide.
11:37He's got it with a super kick assist.
11:39And Dawn Marie breaks up the three count.
11:42We have new World Tag Team Champions.
11:44And Dawn Marie broke up the three count.
11:47And Jazz has seen enough.
11:52Hooking clothesline.
11:54Down goes Dawn Marie.
11:58Jazz is beating the living hell out of Dawn Marie.
12:02Head stomp, head fight.
12:04That's just an ass whipping.
12:07Jason misses the enziguri.
12:10And there's the Jazz Stinger on Jason.
12:15Oh no.
12:16No.
12:22That's Incredible on Jazz.
12:28Nova now with the front kick.
12:32Climbs the table and spikes.
12:34Just incredible.
12:35With a tornado DDT.
12:37Will that be enough?
12:38It just may.
12:39He hooks the leg.
12:40And now Lance Storm saves the World Tag Team title belt.
12:51Waist lock.
12:52Lance Storm goes downstairs.
12:54Drop toe hold.
12:55Lance Storm face first to the table.
12:57But Chetty misses the springboard leg drop.
13:00He missed.
13:05And there's the stuffed pile driver on Chris Chetty.
13:12And the Impact players escape once again.
13:16And they are still ECW World Tag Team Champions.
13:22ECW World Tag Team Champions.

17:31Rob Van Dam is coming back.
17:38Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV.
17:41We've got some huge live events coming up
17:44Saturday night, April 8th
17:46at the Burt Flickinger Center in Buffalo, New York.
17:49Rob Van Dam returns to television.
17:52Then we headed to the St. Louis area
17:55for the first time for Wrestlepalooza.
17:58That's going to be huge, maybe our biggest show ever
18:02at the Family Arena in St. Charles.
18:05And then it's Cyber Slam weekend, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
18:09And then South Philly at the ECW Arena.
18:13Huge mega events coming your way.
18:17Check ecwwrestling.com for more details.
18:21On the website, you can also read about the ECW Racing Team
18:29and where you can get new ECW Racing merchandise.
18:35Kansas City, Missouri.
18:43Wow, I'm surprised you're cheering so loud,
18:45because if I lived here, the last thing I would do is cheer.
18:51I hear that Kansas City has a history of old-school wrestling.
19:14But what you fail to notice is that the king of the old school
19:19is in Kansas City, and he's here to make a difference.
19:30And that's why I'm out here, to make a difference,
19:34to stop all the hardcore crap that you're used to.
19:38And a few months ago, I made it my mission
19:42to take out the original hardcore legend,
19:47the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
19:51Not a very successful mission, was it, Corrina?
19:55And I had him.
19:57At Living Dangerously, I beat that guy.
20:01I beat that guy.
20:03And I had him.
20:05At Living Dangerously, I beat that old fat man
20:09all over the building.
20:13What?
20:15But unfortunately, a pissant referee got in my way again.
20:27Now, look, I know it's the year 2000,
20:31and everybody's trying to get themselves over.
20:36And you're now enrolled in wrestling school,
20:38and I hear you're doing a great job of it.
20:41You know, you're the head of your class,
20:44or you get in the class.
20:45I'm not sure which one.
20:50But the point is that you keep sticking your big nose
20:55in Steve Corrino's business.
21:00And one of these days, I'm going to wrap that bull rope
21:04around your big, fat head again.
21:07And I'm going to show you that I'm
21:10the future of professional wrestling,
21:13and damn near a god in this wrestling business.
21:19You know something, Steve?
21:22We've been through this a lot of times before.
21:25I don't have a thing to prove to you.
21:29But if you insist on coming out here and getting in my face
21:32right here in Kansas City,
21:36then just like the American Dream Dusty Rose
21:39did at the pay-per-view,
21:41I'm going to kick your ass right here tonight.
21:50Oh, oh, we feel a little froggy.
21:54You're going to kick my ass.
21:57Does everybody here want to see him try to kick my ass?
22:01I'll buy a ticket. I work here.
22:05Well, fine. Being the great baby face that I am,
22:09I'll give the people what they want.
22:13The extreme official H.C. Lowe
22:17has been suckered by Corrino and Jack Victory.
22:24Here comes senior official Jim Molyneux.
22:28Do you want a match, Loke?
22:30Come on, Loke. Let's see what you got.
22:32Last week, we saw H.C. Loke get a victory
22:36over Steve Corrino's newest charge, Chili Willie.
22:40It was in Milwaukee
22:44that Corrino and Victory put 50-some-odd stitches
22:48in the skull of H.C. Loke,
22:52and then Loke lost Corrino's matchup
22:54against Dusty Rhodes at the Living Dangerously pay-per-view.
22:58And now, finally, Corrino
23:02fighting H.C. Loke one-on-one,
23:04a shot by Molyneux, a schoolboy, and a two-and-a-half.
23:08Look at clothesline.
23:12You know, you'd have to think that Molyneux
23:14is not going to be very impartial in this matchup.
23:16After all, H.C. Loke is a fellow referee.
23:22And Steve Corrino is such an unbearable, unbearable...
23:26Ah!
23:30Corrino not having words with Molyneux.
23:36Corrino cinching up H.C. Loke.
23:40Ah!
23:44Takes Loke over with a vertical suplex,
23:49and H.C. Loke kicks out,
23:51much to the chagrin of Steve Corrino
23:55and Jack Victory looking on from ringside.
23:59Loke now thrown to the outside.
24:03Rhea's being strangled by Victory
24:07and that bull rope.
24:11You mean to tell me that Corrino can't even get involved
24:15in a square fight with a referee?
24:18Nothing against referees.
24:22But Loke is a wrestler in training,
24:26and right now, he's giving Corrino all he can handle and more.
24:30Sunset Flip and a handful of tights,
24:34and that's more of Steve Corrino
24:38than I ever wanted to see.
24:42Why couldn't Loke be wrestling Dawn Marie?
24:46That's what he is for that matter, but Corrino?
24:50As the moon sets over Kansas City,
24:54this matchup between Steve Corrino
24:58and H.C. Loke continues.
25:06Right hand by Corrino.
25:16Chops continue in the corner, and Loke's had enough.
25:20And while Loke had a referee shirt on
25:24to absorb those chops, Corrino does not.
25:28Corrino puts on the brakes.
25:32Loke into the corner, gets the boot to the face of Corrino.
25:36Power slam, nice rotation by Corrino.
25:40Another nonchalant cover fails to get the three count.
25:45Corrino looking very frustrated.
25:49Reversal.
25:53Sleeper hold, not applied for very long.
25:57Shoulder block. H.C. Loke is wobbly. Timber!
26:03Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV.
26:07Loke and Corrino up top.
26:12Loke shoves off Corrino. Up goes the extreme official.
26:18Frog splash and a cover!
26:22And Jack Victory saves Steve Corrino
26:26from a humiliating defeat at the hands
26:30of referee and wrestler in training, H.C. Loke.
26:34Look at the slam by Victory.
26:42Loke now finds himself in the unenviable position of fighting Corrino
26:46and Victory. And now here comes that damn cowbell.
26:50And that should be all for Loke. He takes the cowbell
26:54to the top of the head.
27:04Corrino knocks Dusty Rhodes by a cowbell.
27:09And here comes the American Dream with a couple of nice looking Kansas City cowgirls.
27:23Bionic elbows in stereo.
27:29That's how you do it.
27:33Loke on top.
27:38Dusty Rhodes!
27:42Dusty Rhodes!
27:46Dusty Rhodes!
27:50Dusty Rhodes to the rescue!
27:54And Loke gets a victory over a humiliated Steve Corrino.
28:02Now we are in the show me stink.
28:06Now it's good to be the dream.
28:26Mike Austin, the ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World
28:30putting a belt on the line tonight.
28:35On the line tonight against Kid Cash.
28:39And look at Kid Cash take the fight to Mike Austin.
28:43Cash is giving up nearly a foot and 100 pounds
28:47to the massive World Heavyweight Champion.
28:51Overhead belly to belly suplex
28:55by Mike Austin.
28:59Awesome splash.
29:05Judge Jeff Jones looking on from ringside.
29:09This is a rematch from the Living Dangerously pay-per-view.
29:13We had an impromptu matchup. Kid Cash versus Mike Austin.
29:17Cash wants a payback.
29:21Goes for the crucifix.
29:25It almost pays for it
29:29by losing this matchup.
29:34The judge complaining about a slow count.
29:38It was not. The judge being a former referee feels he is next.
29:42Did you see the head time that Cash got
29:46when Austin launched him over the top rope?
29:50It was with the judge putting the hooks to Kid Cash.
29:54Isn't that assault?
29:58There's a gavel to the side of the head.
30:03Where the hell did he study law?
30:15Kid Cash hits the steel guardrail
30:19and hard. And here comes the world champion.
30:23Backdrop by Cash. Up on the apron.
30:27Up on the top turnbuckle.
30:32Oh my God!
30:36Somersault plunger.
30:40Kid Cash is money.
30:44What a dive.
30:48That young man is out of his mind.
30:52Had he missed that dive, his mind would have been
30:56out of his skull and all over the floor here at the Uptown Theater.
31:00What impact on the slingshot.
31:04Shoulder block.
31:08290 pounds plus almost taking your head off.
31:12And the right hand
31:16by the world heavyweight champion.
31:24Awesome charges.
31:29What elevation.
31:33Cover.
31:37Not enough to put away Kid Cash.
31:41Can you believe the elevation that Mike Awesome got on that leg drop?
31:45You don't see that on every leg drop, brother.
31:53Double springboard into a high crossbody.
31:58Awesome just pissed him off.
32:14Almost decapitates Kid Cash.
32:18Even referee Mike Keener gasped.
32:28He caught the judge.
32:32Shoulder block.
32:36Cash going up top again.
32:40Beautiful fly.
32:44Tried it again and got caught.
32:48Planted and compacted.
32:52And Mike Awesome is making a statement here.
32:57On ECW Hardcore TV.
33:15Awesome splat.
33:19Cover and this is it.
33:24No! Kid Cash gets the right shoulder up.
33:28Kid Cash survives the Awesome Splash.
33:40But perhaps Kid Cash should have stayed dead.
33:44The judge has slid the table
33:48into the world heavyweight champion.
33:52Mike Awesome has done well for Kid Cash.
34:04Kid Cash wriggles free and in the process may have saved his own life.
34:08But runs into the big boot.
34:16And this time Mike Awesome will not be denied.
34:21Throws the bomb through the table.
34:25He damn near broke Kid Cash in half.
34:29Cover.
34:33Your winner of the match, Mike Awesome.
34:37Awesome continues to be the most dominant
34:41world heavyweight champion in professional wrestling today.
34:46This past week on ECW on TNN
34:50Super Crazy representing ECW defending the world television title
34:54against the network's handpicked successor to Rob Van Dam
34:58Rhino.
35:02Of the Insane Luchador.
35:06Crazy takes out the network's minions.
35:16They look like pins on rock and roll.
35:20Except somebody is actually watching this television program.
35:24It'll be interesting to see what holds more power.
35:28Super Crazy's in-ring shenanigans or the tomfoolery
35:32that's pulled against him every week by the network.
35:37And again Crazy's bilingual following
35:41is here in Kansas City.
35:45Swinging DDT on Rhino.
35:49Cover.
35:53Crazy in a hard time hooking one of those massive tree trunk like legs of Rhino.
35:58And the fans rallying behind the savior of our world television title
36:02Super Crazy.
36:06And there's that power of Rhino.
36:10It was only a matter of time.
36:14Look out Crazy, look out.
36:18Rhino trying to throw Crazy to the table.
36:22Crazy counters with a drop kick.
36:26Right to the quad.
36:30It's the largest muscle on Rhino's massive body.
36:34And that will slow down the challenger.
36:38Cover.
36:42No.
36:46How do you say power bomb in Spanish?
36:50Rhino back to his feet after planting
36:54Super Crazy and getting only a two count.
36:58But how much damage was done on the power bomb?
37:06Rhino trying to put a hole in Crazy.
37:08Sternum now standing on his throat as Cyrus shouts
37:12who knows what in the face of Super Crazy.
37:18Super Crazy fighting for ECW.
37:22Winning our world television title against Rhino
37:26and The Network.
37:30Crazy dropped throat first.
37:34Across the top rope.
37:38I shudder to think what kind of power trip it would send Cyrus on
37:42if Rhino actually captured the television title
37:46for TNN.
37:50On roller jam and rock and ball
37:54and the rodeo and all these other...
37:58Rhino now riding Super Crazy.
38:02It would be disastrous for ECW.
38:06The fans are rallying behind
38:10the insane luchador.
38:14Rhino trying to squeeze the air out of Super Crazy.
38:18Trying to crimp the neck. Crazy back to his feet.
38:22And Rhino hammering down with that forearm.
38:26Crazy fights his way to the ropes
38:30and victory hits him with a concrete like right hand.
38:34We are here at the jam packed
38:38sold out in Advance Uptown Theater in Kansas City, Missouri.
38:42Super Crazy defending the ECW
38:46world television title against The Network's
38:50hand-picked successor to Rob Van Dam, Rhino.
38:54The balance of power in this company hanging in the balance
38:58you are witnessing history right here on the Friday Night Thrill Zone.
39:02Crazy lands on his feet.
39:06Shoulder block.
39:10A series of forearms. Crazy now.
39:14The moonsault gets only a two. Rhino gets that
39:18massively muscled right shoulder up off of the canvas.
39:22But can Super Crazy
39:26put away Rhino and save the world television
39:30title for ECW? Can he save it
39:34from falling into the clutches of Rhino, Cyrus,
39:38and the oppressive Network that is TNN?
39:42Crazy now biting Rhino.
39:46Crazy's got to do whatever
39:50it takes. He's got Rhino in the ring. He's got Cyrus,
39:54Corrino, and victory outside the ring. He's got to use that table.
39:58He's got to come up with anything he can just to even the odds.
40:02Forget the table. I wish Crazy had a rocket launcher. That may be our
40:06only hope. Rhino just so big,
40:10so strong.
40:14Crazy trying
40:18to counter. God, that may be it.
40:22Crazy was trying to counter the powerbomb with the DDT.
40:26And Rhino picked him up like a small child
40:30and drove him right through that table in the corner.
40:34And Crazy's not moving. Cover.
40:38Crazy kicked out.
40:42Super Crazy kicked out. We're still alive, Joel.
40:46ECW is still in this. The world television title belt
40:50still belongs to ECW.
40:54Crazy lands on his feet.
40:58He's on Rhino's back. Victory roll.
41:02But Rhino kicks out.
41:06Front kick.
41:10And there was no escaping
41:14that powerbomb. No, no. Crazy got the shoulder up again.
41:18How many more times is Crazy going to be able
41:22to kick out like that on his last leg with his last win?
41:26I think if Rhino hits Crazy with one more
41:30impactful move like that powerbomb, it's over for
41:34Crazy, it's over for ECW, and our
41:38world television title belt falls into the clutches of the
41:42network. Well, I hope that impactful move that you just mentioned
41:46doesn't happen on the table that was just brought into the ring.
41:50Rhino may be setting up
41:54Super Crazy and TNN for the kill.
41:58He's setting up Crazy at the top turnbuckle. Heavy right
42:02hand to the face of the insane luchador who looks glassy-eyed
42:06at best. He's positioning that table. Here it comes.
42:10He's going to superplex Crazy for the table. He's going to take the world television
42:14title. Crazy goes downstairs.
42:18Rhino goes for the table.
42:22Cover. Crazy wins.
42:26Crazy wins.
42:30Crazy keeps the world television title, and now Steve
42:34Carino has jumped Super Crazy. Crazy is
42:38being mugged by Carino and that cowardly Canadian
42:42Cyrus. Crazy won the
42:46battle, but who knows how the war is going to end up. He won this one
42:50defense, but what about next week? What about next month? Look what they're doing
42:54to him. If Crazy is injured
42:58then Cyrus can strip him of the world television title belt like
43:02he did to Van Dam.
43:10But it sounds like help is on the way.
43:20Yes, it's the Sandman. The original
43:24hardcore icon, former three-time world heavyweight
43:28champion, the Sandman is making his way to the ring
43:32to fight off the network, to fight for ECW.
43:40Sandman looks more inebriated, more
43:44intoxicated than I've ever seen him in my life. More
43:48importantly, he looks more focused. He looks more intense.
43:52He looks like he's got more purpose than ever before in his
43:56career, and that spells nothing but trouble
44:00for the network. He gains Carino.
44:04He gains victory.
44:12And he got Rhino as well, but Rhino's still up. Rhino won't
44:16go down.
44:20Superkick by Carino.
44:28Oh my god!
44:32ECW keeps
44:36the world television title, but the network stays one
44:40step ahead of ECW.
44:44For Roller Jam!
44:48I'm gonna give you, on behalf of the network, a little
44:5260-second public service announcement. Get him up!
44:56Take it to him! Hit him!
45:00Hit him! Hit him!
45:04They're trying to finish the Sandman here in Kansas City.
45:08Come on, Rhino!
45:16Enough!
45:20Rhino is drinking the Sandman's
45:24beer! He's spat in the Sandman's face! He's pouring the
45:28beer on the bodies of the Sandman and crazy!
45:32But nobody stands
45:36up to the network!
