02:08Who are you going to be managing in the tournament?
02:11I thought you said it was a ballroom.
02:13Ballrooms are for dancing.

02:18You don't like the slow dance?
02:21I'll stop dancing.

05:15Oh.
05:17Ballroom.
05:18Yes, ballroom.
05:19You know, Dawn, I'm looking at you
05:21about how much less ballroom I have right now.
05:24I love to ballroom dance.
05:27Hammer style.
05:30Oh, yeah.
05:32My hammer's fine right now.
05:35Thanks, I'm fine.
05:36Dawn, you want to dance?
05:38Yes, yes.
05:39How about we do the horizontal mamba?
05:42How do we do that?
05:43I'll show you.
05:44OK.
05:45Everybody, hands in the air.
05:47Like this?
05:48Just like that.
05:51Everybody, shake your hips.
05:55Let's see yours.
05:56Now, everybody, tops off.
05:59What?
06:02Tops off.
06:03Tops off?
06:05Oh, wait, no, no.
06:07That's the horizontal bop.
06:09Oh.
06:10Tops off, horizontal bop.
06:11Want me to show you?
06:12Yeah.
06:13Yeah.
06:14Styles, call it back, you skunk.
06:18This was to be the big night for Danny Dory,
06:22Roadkill, and Kid Kash as a reward for their victory
06:27at Heatwave 2000 over Simon, Slinger, and C.W. Anderson.
06:32This was going to be Kid Kash's first World Heavyweight
06:37title shot.
06:38But while Joel Gertner and Dawn Marie
06:41were becoming best friends, C.W. Anderson
06:45attacked Kid Kash, laid him out.
06:47Kid Kash is being attended to by the medics,
06:50and we understand Danny Dory is going to step in.
06:53Also tonight, Roadkill will go one-on-one
06:57against Mr. Pay-Per-View himself, Rob Van Dam.
07:02There you see the queen of extreme,
07:05Francine, along with the ECW World Heavyweight Champion,
07:10Just Incredible.
07:12And this does not favor Just Incredible either.
07:15He's prepared for Kid Kash.
07:17He has to defend against Danny Dory,
07:20and that may give the youngster, Danny Dory,
07:23the upper hand here tonight in Peoria, Illinois,
07:26on ECW Hardcore TV.
07:33We've got to take a break, but don't go away.
07:36When we come back, Danny Dory challenges
07:40Danny Dory challenges Just Incredible for the World
07:43Heavyweight title.
07:52If you think I would show you lowlifes
07:56what I have under this top, you are absolutely crazy.
08:00I am a lady.
08:04And I am the king of England.
08:17She's a lady.
08:20I demand respect.
08:25She's such a gorgeous lady.
08:28She's such a gold digger.
08:30All she wants to do is cozy up to the World Heavyweight Champion,
08:33whomever he may be at the moment.
08:36She's proven that she has no loyalty to anybody.
08:39That's not a lady.
08:41She's a gold digger.
08:43She's a leech, a parasite.
08:50You know, we had the decency to come to Peoria
08:58to this s*** town
09:01Are you kidding me? I've been to Ozone Park, New York.
09:05to defend the most prestigious title in professional wrestling,
09:11the ECW World Heavyweight title.
09:18But you people, see, you got to go over the limit, right?
09:22You have to start chanting stuff like,
09:25Show your t***.
09:29That's not a bad idea.
09:32I don't think so, a*****.
09:35And you've got to chant the usual,
09:38Justin, a*****.
09:40Real f***ing clever, right?
09:43Clever is just incredible.
09:49Matter of fact, that would look great on a t-shirt as well.
09:52We could sell a bunch of those.
09:55Well, you know what?
09:58The Queen and I have decided
10:01that you peons don't deserve a world title shot.
10:06So everyone here in Peoria,
10:08there goes your title match.
10:10You can all go suck on this.
10:14They're leaving?
10:17They're leaving. They're walking out.
10:19Just incredible. And Francina walking out.
10:25Mike Kenner admonishing Just Incredible.
10:28Even the ECW officials
10:31have absolutely no stomach
10:34for this disrespectful young man,
10:37Just Incredible, who just happens to be,
10:40for better or for worse,
10:42the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
10:46I hate to broadcast my bias to the whole world,
10:49but it wouldn't break my heart one bit
10:51to see Danny Doring win that title here tonight in Peoria.
10:55Danny Doring with the hammerlock.
10:58Reversal by the World Heavyweight Champions.
11:00Matches aside, headlock.
11:05Danny Doring back with the hammerlock.
11:10And the World Heavyweight Champion
11:12steps between the ropes.
11:14Doring must break the hold.
11:17Again, Danny Doring stepping in for Kid Cash,
11:20who was jumped by the enforcer, C.W. Anderson.
11:23And I am being told that,
11:25as I speak right now,
11:27Kid Cash is being removed from the building via ambulance.
11:33Danny Doring stepping up
11:35for Kid Cash,
11:37taking this World Heavyweight title shot.
11:40This is the biggest match
11:42in the career of young Danny Doring.
11:47Danny Doring, a graduate of ECW's House of Hardcore,
11:52he was trained by former two-time ECW World Heavyweight Champion
11:56Taz and Perry Satter.
11:59And I can't think of a better young man
12:02to represent ECW as the World Heavyweight Champion.
12:06Can Danny Doring snatch the brass ring here
12:09on Hardcore TV?
12:11Tip-up underneath. Leapfrog.
12:14Side headlock now by the World Heavyweight Champion
12:17through the legs of Danny Doring.
12:19Just incredible.
12:21Wasted two seconds to man down the fans,
12:24and Gates had dropped it.
12:263, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
12:33Danny Doring raining right hands
12:35on the star of the World Heavyweight Champion.
12:37Just incredible.
12:39Upside down, back to his feet.
12:42Inverted atomic drop.
12:44Float fly sends the World Heavyweight Champion
12:47to the floor in the Steel Door Grail.
12:58Danny Doring to the outside with a Moscato.
13:03There you see the greed of Extreme Francine
13:06lurking about ringside.
13:08Doring has got to be leery of her.
13:10At the same time,
13:12Doring's not above slapping her in the face either.
13:17Just incredible. Step to the right.
13:20Tip-up underneath goes Danny Doring.
13:22What a super kick by the World Heavyweight Champion
13:25right on the point of the jaw of young Danny Doring.
13:31And just like that,
13:33the World Heavyweight Champion,
13:35just incredible, holds the momentum
13:37of the challenger Danny Doring.
13:39In comes the steel chair from Francine.
13:47The champion sets up that steel chair
13:49in the center of the ring.
13:51Doring to the right.
13:53Drop toehold, face first into the steel chair goes Doring.
13:59Lateral press, two, no!
14:02Danny Doring kicks out.
14:05Francine complaining to Mike Keener
14:07about a slow count that was not the case.
14:09Doring face first into the top turnbuckle.
14:14And now the World Heavyweight Champion
14:17opening up.
14:19Francine holding that steel chair in place
14:21up against the sternum of Danny Doring.
14:23Here comes Just Incredible.
14:25He drives the knee into the chair
14:27and into the chest cavity of Danny Doring.
14:36Danny Doring now in a bad way.
14:38Holding on to the top rope.
14:40Just Incredible brings him out of the corner
14:42the hard way.
14:44Two and a half.
14:46Danny Doring able to get that right shoulder up
14:48after being driven down into the steel chair.
14:55Just Incredible stops to sip some water.
14:58Simply disrespecting the challenger Danny Doring.
15:02Just Incredible had better not take this young man lightly.
15:09Life edge chop to the corner.
15:11And once again that...
15:13Wait a minute.
15:15Doring now opening up.
15:17Chalking away the champ thumb to the eye.
15:20Just like that, Just Incredible once again
15:22cuts off the young man.
15:25Right hand between the eyes of Doring.
15:28Can you imagine this cocky young man Danny Doring
15:30originally from the Jersey Shore
15:32walking...
15:34Cover!
15:36Danny Doring walking into the house of hardcore

15:41I'm going to be a wrestling star
15:43only to get his ass kicked
15:45day in and day out by Tez
15:47and Harry Saturn.
15:49Of all people to stretch him day in and day out.
15:52Tez and Saturn.
15:54But Danny Doring persevered.
15:56He did more than persevere.
15:58He never quit. He never walked out.
16:00He never backed down.
16:02And of the hundreds of young men that enrolled
16:04at ECW's house of hardcore
16:06there were only four graduates.
16:08Chris Chetty
16:10Kayla Marquez
16:12Roadkill and Danny Doring.
16:14Sunset Flip, two and a half.
16:18Backslide!
16:20Doring gets another two.
16:22Clothesline by the World Heavyweight Champion.
16:28Just Incredible in control of this matchup
16:30once again.
16:32And now the World Heavyweight Champion
16:34going to the outside.
16:36And here comes the table.
16:42Just Incredible
16:44and Francine now hoisting
16:46a table into the ring
16:48and that does not bode well for Danny Doring.
16:54A stomp right to the forehead.
17:00Just Incredible
17:02setting up that table in the corner.
17:06Danny Doring trying to shake out
17:08the cobwebs. He better do so
17:10and fast.
17:12Doring set for the ride.
17:16Just Incredible going for the abdominal stretch
17:18but Danny Doring got it.
17:20Danny Doring knocks out the World Heavyweight Champion.
17:24Just Incredible hip toss through the table.
17:28Cover!
17:32Kick out by the World Heavyweight Champion
17:35Danny Doring was a half the count away
17:37from being the World Heavyweight Champion.
17:39Short arm clothesline
17:41countered by the bareback.
17:43Cover, hook of the leg.
17:45And this time the left shoulder
17:47just barely comes off the canvas.
17:49Francine is beside herself at ringside.
17:51She sees the World Heavyweight title slipping away.
17:53They're fighting over the king.
17:55Just Incredible just nailed
17:57Danny Doring right between the eyes.
17:59Cover!
18:01Doring gets the right shoulder up.
18:03Francine cannot believe it.
18:09Just Incredible
18:11now has to be thinking to himself
18:13what will it take to put away this young man
18:15who just keeps coming at,
18:17who just keeps kicking at,
18:19who just won't go away.
18:21Steel chair in the ring once again.
18:23Danny Doring puts the brakes on.
18:25There's the G-Spot Tweet.
18:27The World Heavyweight Champion
18:29face first into the chair, hook of the leg.
18:31We were an inch away
18:33from crowning a new World Heavyweight Champion
18:35an inch away.
18:37Danny Doring says
18:39that's it.
18:41Young Danny Doring is going for the kill.
18:43He goes to the outside.
18:45Danny Doring now ascending the turnbuckles.
18:47He's gonna drop the leg and the danaconda.
18:49Now he misses.
18:51Danny Doring
18:53with all that elevation
18:56absorbed all of the impact
18:58on his own tailbone.
19:00He missed.
19:02Another World Heavyweight Champion
19:04going up top.
19:06Doring roll through.
19:08Hook of the leg.
19:10And the World Heavyweight Champion
19:12just barely escapes.
19:14Danny Doring just keeps bringing the fight
19:16to the World Heavyweight Champion.
19:18Just Incredible.
19:20Rehearsal back to the way Mike Keener
19:22gets caught in the corner.
19:24Bam, bam, thank you ma'am.
19:26And the cover. The World Heavyweight Champion's dead.
19:32Danny Doring had this matchup won.
19:34Referee Mike Keener's down.
19:36There's Francine with the high heel.
19:38The doomy pump.
19:40And now Francine
19:42has caught the corner.
19:48And I think Danny Doring is about to violate
19:50Francine in a much different way
19:52than he has violated
19:54so many other young women.
20:00Hello.
20:04Moon over Peoria.
20:08Nice go behind by Doring.
20:10Inside cradle. Small package.
20:12Damn it.
20:14Just Incredible escapes.
20:18Danny Doring's gonna use the tombstone.
20:21Doring's gonna use the tombstone.
20:23No reversal by the World Heavyweight Champion.
20:27That's Incredible.
20:33And just Incredible
20:37barely, just barely
20:39keeps the gold.
20:41There will be many more
20:43World Heavyweight title shots for Danny Doring,
20:45but there will only be one
20:47worse, and Danny Doring has
20:49nothing to be ashamed of.
20:51World Heavyweight Champion is still just Incredible.
20:53When we come back,
20:55the story MTV can't get enough of.
20:57Billy Corgan of the Smashing Puppets
20:59at ECW.
21:03Excuse me.
21:07Who in the hell is that?
21:15Network Music Consulting?
21:17The head of the Network
21:19hold on
21:21on Smashing
21:23Pumpkins Minute.
21:25Did Cyrus
21:27deputize Louie?
21:29I think Cyrus did sodomize Louie.
21:31Deputized?
21:33Anyway, Billy Corgan's in the ring.
21:35Today is the greatest
21:37day I've ever known.
21:39Well, look who it is.
21:41Billy Corgan
21:43from Smashing
21:45Pumpkins.
21:47What is this idiot
21:49doing? I don't mean Corgan.
21:51Billy, I don't know
21:53what you're doing here,
21:55but don't you understand
21:57this is the same
21:59building that my
22:01good friend Steve
22:03Carino
22:05made an ass out of himself.
22:09Punked out
22:11your devil worshiping
22:14associate Fred
22:16Durst.
22:18Well, that happened in this very building.
22:20Steve Carino interrupted
22:22a Lip Biscuit concert.
22:24New Jack and Paul Smihoney knocked Carino cold.
22:30And the fans
22:32are none too happy that
22:34Louie has been deputized
22:36by Cyrus to interrupt this song.
22:38Tonight, I'm gonna
22:40punk your ass out.
22:42Because in my
22:44opinion, your music
22:46sucks.
22:52Your band's
22:54breaking up because of how big
22:56your ego is.
22:58If you know about the
23:00Smashing Pumpkins, that's not a fair statement
23:02at all. And you can't sell a record
23:04in America
23:06worth your god forsaken
23:08life.
23:10And that's just ridiculous. And besides
23:12it's the dangerous alliance that's breaking up, Louie.
23:14And it's morons like
23:16all these people
23:20who enable you
23:22to have a job
23:24in the first place.
23:26So Billy Corgan,
23:30get your punk
23:32ass out of my room.
23:36Louie is an embarrassment to this
23:39company.
23:47I think Corgan's about to smash
23:49down on Louie's head.
23:51He did it!
23:53I don't believe it!
23:55Billy Corgan just knocked Louie
23:57dangerously cold!
24:05Louie dangerously certainly asked
24:07for it and he got it!
24:09But here comes the Network!
24:11The Network snoozes!
24:13Corino and Anton!
24:15With Jack Victory bringing up the rear!
24:17It's Tommy Dreamer and Jerry Lynn!
24:19Last week
24:21in Poughkeepsie, Tommy Dreamer and
24:23Jerry Lynn were both locked
24:25in the clapper by
24:27Corino and Anton!
24:29A new war is brewing
24:31between Anton and

25:22tonight!
25:26So on TNN, Billy Corgan
25:28of the Smashing Pumpkins
25:30knocked Louie dangerously
25:32cold! And that led
25:34to a tag team death match
25:36full count anywhere! The Network
25:38represented by the US male
25:40Scotty Anton and the
25:42King of Old School Steve Corino
25:44against Jerry Lynn and
25:46Tommy Dreamer!
25:52Lynn used
25:54Dreamer's DDT! Dreamer
25:56used Lynn's cradle piledriver!
25:58But Danny
26:00Daniel
26:02Mike Tito came to make the 3 count

27:23off of the Grand Olympic
27:25Auditorium!
27:27And tonight, it was to
27:29be their night!
27:31Roadkill will go one-on-one
27:33with Rob Van Dam!
27:35Kid Cash, who scored
27:37the pin in that six-man tag team
27:39contest, was to get a shot
27:41his first shot at the
27:43World Heavyweight Champion, Just Incredible!
27:45But tonight, in the
27:47locker room, he was attacked!
27:49He was buzzed! He was
27:51assaulted by the
27:53enforcer
27:55C.W. Anderson!
27:57As we saw,
27:59Danny Doering stepped up to the plate
28:01and gave his World Television Title shot
28:03to Chilly Willy. That aired on
28:05TNN, but Just Incredible
28:07just barely retained the
28:09World Heavyweight Title!
28:11However,
28:13coming up next, the angry
28:15Amish Warrior, Roadkill
28:17goes one-on-one with
28:19Mr. Pay-Per-View, Rob Van
28:21Dam!
28:24We'll be right back!
28:31Welcome back to ECW
28:33Hardcore TV, as
28:35Bill Alfonso leads
28:37Mr. Pay-Per-View,
28:39Rob Van Dam, to the ring
28:41here at the Civic Center
28:43in Peoria, Illinois.
28:49And as always, the fans
28:51are on their feet for
28:53R.V.D.
29:00It was at ECW
29:02Heatwave 2000 that Rob Van Dam
29:04gave the measure of revenge
29:06against his former
29:08best friend, the U.S. male
29:10Scotty Anton, who
29:12betrayed him and ended
29:14his over two-year-long
29:16undefeated streak at
29:18Hardcore Heaven in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
29:20when he cost Van Dam a matchup
29:22against Jerry Lin.
29:24So Van Dam unleashed
29:26the Terminator
29:28against Anton in Los Angeles
29:30and the thousands
29:32in attendance were
29:34absolutely speechless.
29:36As was Anton. He was unconscious.
29:42Will Roadkill share that same
29:44fate here tonight on ECW
29:46Hardcore TV?
29:49Several times
29:51in that World Heavyweight
29:53title matchup, Danny
29:55Doering was an inch away
29:57from the biggest victory
29:59of his career.
30:05Will Roadkill fare as well
30:07against Rob Van Dam?
30:09There can be no question
30:11as a reward for his
30:13victory in the six-man tag team
30:15contest at Heatwave 2000,
30:17this is the most crucial
30:19match in Roadkill's career.
30:24As I mentioned earlier,
30:26Roadkill, one of the four,
30:28only four graduates
30:30of ECW's House of Hardcore
30:32and of the hundreds
30:34who enrolled in that school
30:36for the privilege of getting their
30:38asses kicked and scrapped daily
30:40by Taz and Harry Sack.
30:42Rob Van Dam defeated Taz
30:44at the 1999 November to Remember
30:46in Buffalo, New York.
30:48And while I don't think Roadkill
30:50is here for revenge
30:52for the man who trained him here
30:54tonight, you can bet
30:56that is in the back of his mind.
30:58It's a match Roadkill
31:00has seen over and over
31:02and over again.
31:04Has he taken enough out of this
31:06matchup to put together
31:08a strategy to
31:11and score the biggest
31:13victory of his young wrestling
31:15career here tonight against
31:17Rob Van Dam?
31:19We're about to find out.
31:21First accompanying
31:23by the manager
31:25of champions,
31:27Bill Alfonso!
31:31Boy, is he hyped.
31:35From Battle Creek, Michigan,
31:37we have
31:39weighing in
31:41at 236
31:43pounds,
31:45Mr. Peter P.
31:47Rob Van Dam!
31:53Rob Van Dam
31:55may be the most athletically
31:57gifted athlete we have
31:59ever seen.
32:01Athletic freak is what he is.
32:05He's got an uncanny combination
32:07of flexibility,
32:09speed, strength,
32:11agility.
32:14Rob Van Dam to go one-on-one
32:16here against the angry
32:18Amish warrior, Roadkill.
32:20Bill Alfonso
32:22is infamous
32:24for getting involved in Rob Van Dam's
32:26wrestling matches to the advantage
32:28of Mr. Pay-Per-View.
32:30Alfonso had met
32:32a sphere-clear Roadkill
32:34who will snap his neck
32:37like a chicken.
32:41Roadkill is in a very interesting situation.
32:43It's the biggest match of his career,
32:45yet no title is on the line.
32:47But should he upset Rob Van Dam,
32:49he would instantly be a main eventer.
32:51Instantly be a contender for every
32:53title at ECW.
32:55If that happens, you have to wonder,
32:57would his tag team partner, Danny Doering,
32:59be happy for him? Or quite possibly,
33:01would Doering resent it?
33:03Then again, had Doering won the World Heavyweight
33:05title earlier tonight, what would that have done
33:07to the tag team of Roadkill and Danny Doering?
33:09Besides tonight, Doering
33:11with the World Heavyweight title shot,
33:13Roadkill one-on-one against
33:15Rob Van Dam, you have to know
33:17that Doering and Roadkill are thinking
33:19about the World Tag Team title
33:21tournament August 25th
33:23and 26th at the Hammerstein
33:25Ballroom in Midtown
33:27Manhattan. Doering and
33:29Roadkill want to be the next
33:31ECW World Tag Team
33:33champions.
33:37Van Dam trying to intimidate
33:39young Roadkill.
33:41But it's been quite
33:43some time since Roadkill graduated
33:45from the House of Hardcore. He is
33:47no longer a rookie. He will not
33:49be intimidated by Rob Van Dam
33:51nor anyone else for that matter.
33:57Rob Van Dam soaking up the adulation
33:59of his fans. And you've got to know
34:01Rob Van Dam does this also to get inside
34:03the head of his opponents. It must drive them
34:05crazy. They are so worked up just to
34:07be in the ring with him. By Van Dam
34:09taking all that extra time, it's got
34:11to throw his opponents off of their game.
34:13Collar and elbow tie-up now.
34:15Van Dam backed up
34:17into the corner.
34:19Van Dam giving up some 70-plus
34:21pounds to Roadkill. And you can bet
34:23Roadkill will try to use
34:25every ounce to his advantage
34:27here tonight.
34:31Van Dam and
34:33Roadkill circle one another again.
34:45A tie-up in the center
34:47of the ring. Side headlock now by
34:49Rob Van Dam.
34:51Van Dam now
34:53into a hammerlock.
34:55Roadkill backs Van Dam into the corner.
34:57There's that weight advantage. And now
35:00Roadkill with some heavy right hands.
35:02Van Dam set for the ride.
35:04Here comes Roadkill.
35:06The last second Van Dam sidesteps
35:08up to the top turnbuckle.
35:10High crossbody. What elevation
35:12to? No. Roadkill kicks out.
35:16Van Dam with the hood and Conrada
35:18takes over Roadkill.
35:20Full head of steam.
35:22Cartwheel. Backflip splat.
35:24Cover.
35:26No. Just barely a two-count.
35:28Referee Mike Keener.
35:32And Van Dam stops
35:34to soak up the adulation once
35:36again
35:38of thousands of Rob Van Dam fans.
35:40And that was a mistake as Roadkill
35:42now throwing right hands. They're trading
35:44punches in the center of the ring.
35:46Van Dam landed a right.
35:48There's a front kick.
35:52Roadkill with the reversal.
35:54Van Dam ducks
35:56into the clothesline.
35:58Side slam by Roadkill.
36:00Hooks the leg. Reaches. No.
36:02Two-count only, says Mike Keener
36:04once again.
36:10Van Dam back up to his feet, but very
36:12slowly.
36:16Rob Van Dam with a nice go
36:18behind. Picks up
36:20Roadkill on his shoulders. Great show
36:22of strength by Van Dam.
36:25Drives his body weight into the ribs.
36:29Kicks the boots off the second turnbuckle.
36:31Lateral press gets it, too.
36:43Rob Van Dam is an
36:45incredible athlete.
36:49But again,
36:51took too much time, and Roadkill
36:53not able to land a couple of right hands. Van Dam
36:55fights back now. Reversal. There's an Amish
36:57win. Roadkill ducks his head.
36:59Van Dam lands on his feet. Clothesline. Duck.
37:01Here comes Rob Van Dam. Nice rotation.
37:03Deep power slam. Roadkill hooks the leg
37:05in him.
37:07And Rob Van Dam
37:09rolls to the outside.
37:13Roadkill scores with a nice power slam.
37:15And Rob Van Dam now wants to
37:17slow things down, go to the outside.
37:19But here comes Roadkill.
37:21This young man is not
37:23giving Rob Van Dam any breathing room
37:25whatsoever. Van Dam hits the
37:27steel guardrail, and here
37:29comes Roadkill. Van
37:31Dam gets the boot up.
37:33Van Dam slips.
37:35Nice adjustment in midair.
37:39He was looking to springboard off of the
37:41guardrail and hit the moonsault press.
37:43His right foot
37:45slipped. Van Dam seems to have launched
37:47himself backwards. All 238
37:50pounds at Roadkill, taking
37:52Roadkill down to the concrete floor
37:54here at the Peoria Civic
37:56Center.
38:00Rob Van Dam rolls back in.
38:02Goes for the
38:04baseball slide and misses. Takes a right hand
38:06right in the face.
38:08Van Dam hits the steel yet again.
38:10Back body
38:12drop. Roadkill over the guardrail
38:14into the first row.
38:20Van Dam now going after Roadkill.
38:26Roadkill hung out to dry on the
38:28guardrail.
38:32Alfonso holds the steel chair in place.
38:39Corkscrew guillotine leg drop
38:41on the steel chair.
38:50Rob Van Dam
38:52drove the steel chair into the back
38:54of the neck and the back of the head of
38:56Roadkill.
39:00Van Dam stops to take a bow.
39:12However, Roadkill,
39:14this young man, pulling himself back into the ring.
39:16Roadkill is already up.
39:20The haymaker
39:22block. Van Dam scores.
39:24Rob Van Dam now cinching
39:26up the 300-plus pounder. Tries to bring
39:28him in the hard way.
39:30And Roadkill drops.
39:32Rob Van Dam, throat first, across
39:34the top rope. Quick thinking
39:36by the youngster, Roadkill, showing
39:38great balance now.
39:40Springboard
39:42clothesline almost takes off the head of
39:44Rob Van Dam. Van Dam's head
39:46snapped back in whiplash fashion.
39:48Look at the leg. No. Van Dam
39:50kicks out at two and a half.
39:56Rob Van Dam down in the corner.
39:58Roadkill now on the offensive.
40:00Stomps away between the shoulder blades
40:02of RVD.
40:08And there's a thumb right to the eye
40:10by Roadkill.
40:14Rob Van Dam now, center of the ring.
40:16Clothesline in the corner.
40:20Bulldog by Roadkill.
40:24Cover. No.
40:26Rob Van Dam kicks out just
40:28barely before the three.
40:35Bill Alfonso rattling the fans
40:37behind Rob Van Dam.
40:39Roadkill hanging on, trying to crimp
40:41the neck of Van Dam, making Van Dam
40:43fight for each and every breath.
40:46Rob Van Dam now back to his feet.
40:48Drives on the elbow.
40:50Naked two. That's three.
40:52Van Dam, full head of steam.
40:54Stuck to the clothesline. Going for a crucifix
40:56perhaps? No. Trying to take
40:58Roadkill off, but Roadkill drops down.
41:00300-plus pounds
41:02down on the sternum of Rob Van Dam
41:04and that will certainly slow down
41:06Mr. PPV.
41:12Roadkill now grabs Van Dam by the ponytail.
41:16An Amish whip out of the corner.
41:20Roadkill charges and connects.
41:22Rob Van Dam crumbles to the canvas.
41:28Cover. Two. No.
41:30The right shoulder came up.
41:32Just barely the right shoulder came up.
41:40And again, Roadkill trying to
41:42slow down Rob Van Dam.
41:46R-E-D!
41:51Rob Van Dam now fighting to get back
41:53to his feet and does. Elbow.
41:55Two.
41:57Third time's a charm, but
41:59Roadkill hangs on to the ponytail, misses the elbow.
42:03Rob Van Dam, full head of steam, gets
42:05caught. Roadkill now just muscling
42:07Van Dam. Plants him in the corner.
42:16Off the second turnbuckle,
42:18Roadkill drives home the elbow
42:20into the chest of Rob Van Dam.
42:24Cover.
42:28No. Foot across the rope.
42:35Rob Van Dam is down against the ropes.
42:42And a chin of the whole
42:44Amish show rings out here in Peoria.
42:46Roadkill may be winning over
42:48some of these RBD fans.
42:50How can you not love this kid?
42:52Giving it his all against Rob Van Dam.
42:54Van Dam sent for the ride.
42:56Gets the boots up into the chest of Roadkill.
43:00Slingshot sidekick.
43:04Down goes Roadkill in the center
43:06of the ring.
43:11R-E-D!
43:13R-E-D!
43:16Van Dam on spaghetti legs.
43:18Yet lands the front kick.
43:23Irish whip out of the corner.
43:27What a sidekick from the top
43:29turnbuckle by Rob Van Dam.
43:31Great extension. What power.
43:33What flexibility.
43:37Roadkill took Rob Van Dam's boot
43:39right on the point of the jaw.
43:43There's Bill Alfonso
43:45with the steel chair for Rob Van Dam.
43:51Both boots into the side
43:53of the head.
43:55Roadkill underneath the chair.
43:59Tumbling senton
44:01splash onto Roadkill
44:03and gets squashed underneath the chair
44:05and Rob Van Dam, will that be enough?
44:07Lateral press. No.
44:09The left shoulder comes up.
44:13Rob Van Dam
44:15on the offensive.
44:21But Roadkill is getting up again.

44:38Van Daminator's score.
44:44Roadkill is down. Roadkill is broke.
44:49And the fans here at Peoria
44:51are on their feet.
44:53Rob Van Dam knows what they want to see.
44:55Will he give it to them?
44:57Will it be the five-star
44:59frog splash?
45:04Yes!
45:06Van Dam has got to make
45:08the cover now. Rolls on top.
45:25Rob Van Dam gets
45:27the two, but how about Roadkill?
45:29Young Roadkill
45:31hung in there and went
45:33punch for punch, kick for kick,
45:35with Mr. Pay-Per-View himself
45:37Rob Van Dam.
45:39Roadkill may have had the greatest
