10:41who paid the Dudleys to do so and put the bonus bounty on the head of New Jet.
10:45Plus, the internet has been buzzing with rumors
10:48of the franchise Shane Douglas' retirement from pro wrestling.

11:15Little Guido hopping a ride to the ring on the back of the big Salvoski, Sally Graziano.
11:24Guido will go it alone tonight as the Big Don, Tommy Rich,
11:29and the main man, Tracy Smothers, are on a scouting mission
11:33to recruit new members into the full-blooded Italian.
11:37Just those two would know where the Italians hang out.
11:39It's a company like Southwest Arkansas, a local Italian social club.
11:45But they sent the big bus man, Graziano, to watch Guido's back.
11:52It should be an outstanding contest in a matchup I am looking forward to
11:57as a wrestling purist.
12:00It sounds like Guido and Sal have many friends or fans here in New York City.
12:09But here comes a young man who has lots of fans here in New York City.
12:19The opposition for Little Guido tonight
12:33will be the first graduate of ECW's House of Hardcore, Chris Chaik.
12:42Both Chetty and Guido have outstanding amateur wrestling backgrounds.
13:02And they should be fantastic.
13:04As long as Graziano keeps his big nose out of Chetty's business, that is.
13:12Our opening contest is won for your referee, Billy Saints.
13:18Introducing first, in the corner to my right, accompanied to the ring by Big Sally Graziano.

20:12The mysterious benefactor will be revealed by Joel Gerker.
20:15Will the franchise retire?
20:17We'll find out tonight.
20:19But we don't know for sure.
20:21Chris Chetty is your winner.
20:23The Dunley boys lured the public enemy back into ECW.
20:29Lured them into bolting WCW.
20:32And then beat the living hell out of Flyboy Rock the Rock and Johnny Grunge in the Motor City of Detroit, Michigan.
20:39And had run them out of ECW.
20:42Yet again, the public enemy just, they decided to run rather than fight the Dunleys.
20:46The Dunleys had too much for the public enemy.
20:49But who paid the Dunleys to do it?
20:51And offered them a bonus, which they will collect when they finally take New Jack out.
20:58You'll find out tonight in addition to the last month.
21:01Rumors that have intensified over the last 12 hours regarding the retirement from the ring of the franchise.
21:07Shane Douglas have been buzzing on the internet tonight.
21:10Douglas himself will address those women.
21:13And there is this entire night of action.
21:16Historic, infamous, here tonight in Queens, New York City.
21:20Available from ECW home video, including an hour that you will not see on television this week or next week.
21:27It's called Crossing the Line 99.
21:30But back to our main story.
21:31Joel Gertner has vowed tonight that he will indeed spill the beans.
21:37In regards to who is the mysterious benefactor who hates the public enemy and hates New Jack.
21:44Who hates the public enemy and New Jack?
21:46And has that much cash?
21:48Let's not wait any longer to find out.
21:50Because the Dudley boys and Joel Gertner are in the ring right now.
21:57So just like I said, the public enemy has sold everybody in New York City out.
22:07The public enemy took the easy way out.
22:18They finally realized that they don't need to be in this promotion.
22:26Because they couldn't hack it.
22:29They weren't hardcore enough.
22:33They weren't extreme enough.
22:38Rock O' Rock was too old.
22:42And Johnny Grunge was too high and too fat.
22:45They didn't have the guts to get in this ring tonight and prove to themselves and maybe even prove to you people just who the best tag team in ECW is.
23:07And let me explain something to you people.
23:14We've been here for three years and not once have we ever backed down from a fight.
23:22And you people know it.
23:29We took the greatest wrestling tag team, the Eliminators, and split them up.
23:41We're the tag team that stayed in ECW and hung tough through the thick and thin.
24:02We're the tag team that time and time again has gone out and proved themselves as not only as the best wrestlers but the best brawlers in the history of wrestling.
24:21And now you people sit there and you cheer for us.
24:34You weren't there when me and my brothers first came together.
24:40You weren't there for us when we won our first world tag team title.
24:47You weren't there for us when we took your hero the Sandman and in front of his pregnant wife snapped his neck.
24:59You weren't there for us when we took Beulah and broke her neck.
25:08So there should be in your minds beyond no shadow of a doubt that the Dudley boys are the greatest tag team of the past.
25:28The past, the present, and the future.
25:36And not one person in this entire building can dispute that.
25:41The big tag team of what?
26:06We are the best tag team.
26:07Just ask these people.
26:08They'll tell you.
26:09Let me tell you something.
26:10Let me tell you something.
26:11Buckwheat.
26:12Buckwheat.
26:13Buckwheat and the three stooges.
26:14You think I'm walking by myself?
26:15Huh?
26:16You think I'm walking by myself?
26:17What are you going to do?
26:18You're going to go in the back and get Cronus?
26:23I got a partner, son.
26:24I got my back up.
26:25You're right.
26:26I'm sorry.
26:27I'm sorry.
26:28You're going to go in the back and get Spike.
26:30That's one hell of a partner.
26:31Remember what we did to you at the last pay-per-view.
26:32Hit my music.
26:33Let's go.
26:34Let's go.
26:35Let's go.
26:36Let's go.
26:37Let's go.
26:38Let's go.
26:39Let's go.
26:40Let's go.
26:41Let's go.
26:42Let's go.
26:43Let's go.
26:44Let's go.
26:45Let's go.
26:46Now I'm coming.
26:47Let's go.
26:48Let's go.
26:49All the rest of my team.
26:50Let's go.
26:51They're sigu.
26:52Need to go.
26:53I'm sorry.
26:55I'm sorry.
26:56You're going to go in the back and get spiked.
26:57That's one hell of a partner.
26:58Remember what we did to you at the last pay-per-view.
27:01Hit my heartbeat.
27:04You're not Ball.
27:06You're not allowed,
27:07they move wide.
27:08The next one has moved up.
27:09New sera team partner is now,
27:12Leader.
27:13Point for his best, the Kingsons have been reunited, and whoever, whomever the mysterious
27:23better man there is, who paid the Dudley to run Public Enemy out of each other, and who
27:29put the bonus bounty on Nujek, could not have figured out this, because Nujek's back, it's
27:37covered, Mustafa is here, and you can bet whoever lays the cash out to the top.
27:43And the Dudley Boy, to run Flyboy, Rock-O-Rock, and Johnny Grimes out, to run Nujek out.
27:49But has never figured of the real latest of the gangsta, Nujek and his tag team partner.
28:05What the hell?
28:12The mysterious benefactor paid off Mustafa, too.
28:19Somebody's laying out a lot of cash in Ethiopia.
28:22New Jack was set up by whomever paid the Dudleys to run the Public Enemy out of ECW.
28:29New Jack was set up by whomever paid the Dudleys to run the Public Enemy out of ECW.
28:35New Jack was set up by whomever paid the Dudleys to run the Public Enemy out of ECW.
28:50And the benefactor paid Mustafa to come back into ECW and set up Nujek.
28:57New Jack, step for the run.
29:00New Jack, step for the run.
29:043-D!
29:05Dudley Deathsbust on the original gangster Nujek, who has been busted wide open.
29:13Now Mustafa beat the living hell out of his bloodied former tag team partner.
29:23Kronis just got spiked with 3-D as well.
29:27And here comes little Spike Dudley.
29:32Everyone is backing up, and rightly so.
29:35He ducked on the pole glide.
29:37He goes downstairs on his half-brother.
29:39He nails his thumb.
29:40He nails Big Dick.
29:42He goes back.
29:43Reversal.
29:44Reversal.
29:453-D on little Spike Dudley.
29:48There were just too many of them.
29:54But the story here is somebody that this mysterious benefactor
29:59who paid off the Dudleys to run Public Enemy out of ECW,
30:03who put the bonus bounty on the head of Nujek.
30:08Also paid off Mustafa to set up Nujek.
30:18So Mustafa's gonna split that bonus bounty with the Dudley boys, it would seem.
30:29Damn!
30:34Who in the hell's got that kind of cash?
30:38I mean, who in the hell's got that kind of cash
30:41that he's got a crunch against the Public Enemy in Nujek?
30:48And would you...
30:52who stop her...
30:54to get it, Nujek?
30:55Would you look at this?
30:58Did it, Tick?
31:03It's unbelievable!
31:17No, no, no, no!
31:22Nujek is a bloody mess!
31:25Kronus and little Spike Dudley have been hit with 3-D.
31:33Look at that plot of cash.
31:40Well, well, well.
31:45Another installment of the payment plan
31:50made in full
31:53by the mysterious benefactor
31:58Mr. Moostock!
32:02Mr. Moostock!
32:06Jamal Moostock!
32:08Moostock Saeed!
32:10He's the mysterious benefactor!
32:16Mr. Moostock!
32:19Well, the gang has had that war
32:22with the public enemies.
32:25A deadly stroke his neck.
32:28He and New Jack had brought to the back.
32:30Now it all makes sense!
32:32Mr. Moostock!
32:34The mysterious benefactor is...
32:38Mr. Moostock?
32:40Mr. Moostock paid the Dudleys to goad public enemy back at ECW,
32:45beat the hell out of him, and make him run out of here.
32:48And tonight, they all pitched in and beat the crap out of New Jack,
32:52and Moostock paid off the Dudleys.
32:54Who did he get that kind of money?
32:56You know, quite frankly, I really don't want to know.
32:58And I'm not going to guess publicly,
33:00because A, I don't want to be sued,
33:02and B, I don't want to get my ass handed to me.
33:06Mr. Moostock?
33:08The only man that New Jack has ever trusted?
33:10There'll be more to this story,
33:12and more to our other story.
33:14Will the franchise Shane Douglas retire tonight?
33:17He will address those rumors, and by the way,

33:22including but not limited to what you're seeing tonight,
33:25and what you will see on television next week,
33:28plus another hour of never-before-seen footage.

34:05He chases his roo.
34:06Is that correct?
34:15If he calls me if he calls me?
34:17I call him,
34:20that is not the world.
34:23We have to Michaela.
38:03Some people have said I'm the greatest wrestler in the world.
38:11They may have been right.
38:13No matter where you stand on the franchise, one thing 5, 10, 20 years from now, no one can
38:26ever say is I was nothing but a goddamn suit.
38:31I told somebody a few years ago they overstayed their welcome in this sport.
38:44That's right.
38:46I've always said that whenever I had my last match in this business, in this ring, it would be
38:51the greatest match of my career and I wouldn't look back.
38:58I've always said that whenever I had my last match in this business, in this business, in this ring, it would be the greatest match of my career and I wouldn't look back.
39:13I think I can be proud of the match, even though I lost, in an attempt to regain the
39:26greatest title in this sport from one mother tough guy named Taz.
39:43Unlike some other people who overstayed their welcome, I know when it's time to pass on
39:58a pair of boots.
40:26There are things I can do, I'll never leave the sport, because I know there are things
40:32I can do to keep Dance Revolution alive behind the scenes, but there are enough studs here
40:37to keep ECW going.
40:42The people in the back that carry on the revolution, for you people, the best fans in wrestling,
40:55the best that will go.
40:56Please don't go!
40:57Please don't go!
40:58Please don't go!
40:59Please don't go!
41:00Please don't go!
41:01Please don't go!
41:02Please don't go!
41:03Please don't go!
41:04I didn't want to tend this way, but people, it's time to call it a career.
41:09of a career, and the person that will fill these boots and carry on the revolution of
41:24a career, and the person that will fill these boots and become the leader of the
41:54leader of the team.
42:24Shane Douglas, Shane, I heard that you are a very, very smart man.
42:54And Shane, you have made the decision of a lifetime.
43:08Shane, I am the hard tour icon here at ECW.
43:24I beat the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer, within an inch of his life.
43:34I took that old-timer, Terry Funk, and he endorsed me as his protege.
43:46So, you know what, Shane?
43:54Thanks, Gramps.
43:57Thank you for passing the torch.
44:04Because the next franchise, he's not just the coolest.
44:13The next franchise, he's not just the best.
44:17The next franchise, he's just incredible.
44:48You see, you might be just incredible.
45:17But that's the problem, you're just incredible.
45:24I'm the guy that can do it all, because I'm from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
45:41So just like Bret Hart carried the World Wrestling Federation, I'm carrying ECW, because the next
45:53franchise of ECW is Lance Storm.
46:00You guys are both making big waves here in ECW, but you ain't a franchise, and you ain't a franchise.
46:05The guy I'm talking about that's going to carry on this revolution is Tommy Dreamer.
46:24Oh, my God.
46:31Francine trying to shove the franchise out of harm's way, and just incredible.
46:37Can Francine right in the face?
46:39And down goes the franchise.
46:41Lance Storm is just incredible, but the moves of the franchise.
46:45It's Tommy Dreamer.
46:46Tommy Dreamer's in the ring.
46:48Francine is down to the corner.
46:50Lance Storm now with the Singapore King.
46:53Hanging Tommy right in the head.
46:55And now they're putting the boots to Tommy Dreamer.
47:02Oh, my God.
47:04I believe we're all off.
47:11I'm a bitch!
47:16Would somebody please get Justin Credible and Lance Storm out of the ring?
47:21Justin Ansel!
47:23Justin Ansel!
