04:45You know, Fonzie, even though I'm not in 100% physical
04:51condition enough to carry on one of my normal five-star
04:55classical matches, I just don't feel right about the minimal
05:05energies put out here tonight.
05:07So how about if I give a shout-out to all the hardcore
05:11fans that are excited because they got a ticket to see their
05:14favorite wrestler, Rob Van Dam.
05:19Rob Van Dam.
05:29Rob Van Dam.

06:13And the whole ****** town.
06:30Rob Van Dam is back.

07:11Rob Van Dam broke his leg earlier this year in a match-up against Rhyno in Florida.
07:21Rob Van Dam went on to retain the World Television title on that evening.
07:27And since then, Rhyno has taken credit for breaking Rob Van Dam's leg.
07:34An erroneous statement. Van Dam just happened to be in the ring with Rhyno
07:40when he broke his leg executing a baseball slot.
07:44Rob Van Dam enjoyed 22 undefeated months as the ECW World Television champion.
07:53He was the longest reigning champion in professional wrestling.
07:58That was until Cyrus and the Network ripped Rob Van Dam of the ECW World Television title.
08:10Rob Van Dam, knowing that ECW was in danger of being yanked off of TNN
08:16and national cable television, did the unselfish thing
08:20and turned over that belt that he loved so much to Cyrus.
08:25A World Television title tournament was held.
08:29And at Living Dangerous, the Super Crazy defeated Rhyno in the finals
08:34with the help of Rob Van Dam.
08:38Since then, Yoshihiro Tajiri has defeated Super Crazy,
08:42again with help from Rhyno and the Network.
08:46And at Cyberslam, Yoshihiro Tajiri is scheduled to turn over
08:51the World Television title to the Network.
08:54Will Rob Van Dam stand by and watch that happen?
08:57Who will Rob Van Dam's opponent be for the Hardcore Heaven 2000 pay-per-view?
09:02All these questions and more will be answered at Cyberslam 2000.

13:05Shoulder block down goes Guido.
13:07Dory now mocking Guido.
13:11Leapfrog mistimed.
13:18And there's the bareback.
13:22I'm gonna kick your ass!

42:19Whether it be from Atlanta to New York,
42:21I was the one that created it.
42:23And I'm going to show you
42:26that I
42:29am the original gangster.
42:32And you
42:34are the original black star.

43:08Excuse me, boys.
43:10At Cyberslam,
43:12we are stealing the show.
43:22This weekend at Cyberslam,
43:25the network gets the world TV title
43:28handed back to it
43:30by my boy, Yoshihiro Tajiri.
43:33He's not like all the little rebel wrestlers in UCW
43:36trying to fuck the network.
43:38Oh, yeah, he's a good boy.
43:40He's with the plan.
43:41I like guys like that.
43:43Guys that are with the plan.
43:44Guys that understand that the network giveth
43:47and the network taketh away.
43:49So, Yoshihiro Tajiri,
43:51you be a good lad.
43:53And at Cyberslam,
43:54when you crack open that fortune cookie,
43:56you will have your future mapped out for you.
43:59And that fortune will read
44:01that you will hand the world TV title over
44:05to the network's hand-picked successor
44:08to Rob Van Dam.
44:10And his name is
44:13Rhino.
44:20What a tumultuous past few weeks it's been for ECW.
44:23First, our World Heavyweight Champion
44:25shows up on WCW Monday Nitro.
44:28Then he gets defeated that same week
44:30by WWF Superstar Taz.
44:32Taz, who works for the WWF,
44:34is again the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
44:37He's defending that belt
44:38against Tommy Dreamer at Cyberslam 2000.
44:41Rob Van Dam is set to return
44:43at the Hardcore Heaven 2000 pay-per-view.
44:45Who will his opponent be?
44:47We'll find out at Cyberslam 2000.
44:49Yoshihiro Tajiri is scheduled to turn over
44:52the ECW World Television Title Belt to the network.
44:55Who will the network then give the belt to?
44:57Rhino?
44:58Perhaps we'll find out at Cyberslam 2000.
45:01The entire world is watching Cyberslam 2000.
45:04If you can't be there live in Philadelphia,

45:11Dawn Marie, who's been interfering in the matches
45:13of the Impact Players,
45:14is this close to getting beaten up
45:16and stripped by either Jazz or Francine.
45:18The champs are getting by with comments.
45:22Cyberslam 2000?
45:24They're going to be talking about a lot of things.
45:26They're going to talk about violence,
45:27tables, chairs, blood.
45:30They're going to talk about the TV title,
45:32the tag team title,
45:34the first title defense of our new world champion.
45:37But when everybody's done talking,
45:39what really matters is who makes the impact.
