03:59The guy that's gonna come after me in Chicago for this belt is Masato Tanaka!
04:18And there ain't no doubt in my mind that Masato Tanaka is one bad m******.
04:29You people have seen him take the hardest chest shots in that hard head of his.
04:36And I'll tell you what, Tanaka, you're gonna need that hard head,
04:41because I'm gonna dump you on your m****** head.
04:49And then, when I'm done dumping you on your head,
04:53I'm gonna hook the most beard hole in the business, and you will tap out.
05:03You see, I'm not a champion that's 50 years old,
05:08comes out here wearing gold and red or yellow and black,
05:14all shriveled up, wrestling for his m****** ego.
05:23Hokusai! Hokusai! Hokusai! Hokusai! Hokusai! Hokusai!
05:33You see, brother, this ain't 1989 anymore.
05:37This is the year 2000, and I'm the world champion!
05:43And I'm not a guy that has to come out here with a chick, 6'2",
05:50and a fake m****** ass hanging out,
05:56saying you're a world champion.
05:58Hey, Triple H, you want some, brother?
06:01Come to the bingo hall and try me.
06:14You see, I remember my roots.
06:17I got two roots.
06:19One root is the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, New York.
06:28And the other root is right here in South Philly.
06:40I have been—hold this, m******—I have been—
06:44See, now I'm just warming up because I'm getting hot, okay?
06:47I have been here for six g****** years.
06:55And I had the orphans, I turned them down.
06:58I watched everybody come through this door and leave,
07:02come through this door and leave,
07:05and here I am, standing right here where it all started,
07:10right here in Philly.
07:15You got guys in the back,
07:17Oh, Taz, I don't want to wrestle Taz poorly.
07:20Oh, he's too stiff.
07:22Oh, poorly.
07:23Taz dropped me on my head.
07:25Taz broke my shoulder.
07:27But the difference is,
07:28Masato Tanaka ain't gonna go b****** to Paulie,
07:32and that's what I want.
07:34That's what I want.
07:41People say, people say,
07:44pro wrestling—
07:46Shut the f*** up, m******.
07:51You show some goddamn respect to me,
07:54I'll beat the f*** out of you.
07:59You want some, you piece of s***.
08:01Come get some.
08:04I don't see you moving, brother.
08:06What, your voice ain't telling you that?
08:08Go f*** yourself, m******.
08:13You're false, you are.
08:15Oh, you are.
08:16He's one of those giant c** lately.
08:18You ain't like these s***.
08:27I'll tell you what.
08:28I'll tell you what.
08:30It's just a matter of time.
08:32I get my hands on Tanaka.
08:34Tanaka will tap.
08:36I'm gonna dump him on his head.
08:38I'm here to tell you people who I am,
08:41and I live by a motto called
08:43Kill or Be Killed.
08:46You see, my name is Taz,
08:50and I am the World Heavyweight Champion.
08:54Beat me if you can.
08:57Survive.
09:02Survive.
09:04Survive.
09:05Survive.
09:07Survive.
09:08Survive.
09:09Richard just kissed Viola, Viola slaps the face out of Richard,
09:14Richard is taunting Viola, and Richard is strangling Viola.
09:19Here comes River to the rescue,
09:24just played River with hairspray,
09:29it was a setup, it was a setup.
09:34River was in love for a pitch,
09:39the 18, River got sucked in,
09:45cover, no, 2 and 3.
09:49The winner of the match,
09:55Reigner, Tommy Dreamer was
10:00duped by Raven, and this feud.
10:08I feel like cutting.
10:10The most storied feud in ECW history is Tommy Dreamer versus Raven.
10:15And now whether Tommy likes it or not, they are the World Tag Team Champions.
10:20And throughout this hour, we're gonna show you some of the greatest moments in
10:24that feud between Tommy Dreamer and Raven.
10:26But right now, we go down the ring for our first matchup.
10:29The 400 plus pound Uganda has
10:34invaded ECW, and tonight
10:39we'll oppose a young man
10:44named Tom Marquet.
10:48Ladies and gentlemen,
10:53weighing in at 210 pounds,
11:00Tom Marquet.
11:02This kid just started his wrestling career.
11:04And his opponent- But we'll take on anyone in the locker room.
11:08Weighing in at 425 pounds,
11:14this is Uganda.
11:18Uganda has extensive experience in the old Japan wrestling promotion.
11:25Tom Marquet has outweighed by about 200 pounds, but
11:28yet evenly signed on for this matchup.
11:30I'm not even sure that Tom is 21 years old yet.
11:35A series of chops from Uganda all over Tom Marquet, now choking away.
11:41Tom has looked very impressive in recent
11:46sparring sessions here in arenas around the country.
11:53How the hell do you prepare for an animal like Uganda?
11:58Shoulder block turns Marquet's inside out.
12:03Uganda now.
12:08Headbutt on Marquet.
12:13And now trying to rearrange his facial features.
12:19Whippering Tom, here he goes, trying to back up Uganda.
12:24Come back up, but he's pushing it right- To the right.
12:29Manages to get out of the way of the big splash.
12:34Three more dropkicks.
12:37Tom Marquet knocks Uganda off his feet.
12:40There goes Uganda.
12:42Tom Marquet is down.
12:46Unloading with right hand to the skull of Uganda.
12:51Go, Tom, go.
12:52You got this.
12:53Get off the clothesline from the left side of the seat.
12:58Tom Marquet.
12:59He picks up Marquet.
13:01He had him beat.
13:02He picked him up.
13:03And that's a splash for the world.
13:07Pee-wee.
13:08Managing Uganda, but calling up Marquet.
13:11He's out of that.
13:12Takes the life into it.
13:13Pee-wee running for his life before he gets eaten.
13:16Splash to the corner.
13:18A skirmish of Tom Marquet.
13:21Twist into the turnbuckle.
13:24400 pounds of weight.
13:26Another body part across the chest cavity of Marquet.
13:30400 pounds of weight.
13:32Another body part across the chest cavity of Marquet.
13:36And again, not going for a cover in Uganda.
13:45Talking to him.
13:51400 pounds.
13:52Somersault.
13:53Flip top.
13:55And perfectly.
13:56This matchup is over.
13:59For Tom Marquet, a very good choice.
14:03He took the 400-pound Uganda off of his feet.
14:07He said, Tom, this is not a good choice.
14:1021 years old.
14:11He's been in a legal break again.
14:14Wait a minute.
14:16Uganda's going up front.
14:18Pee-wee knocking him out.
14:20Oh, my God.
14:23This man walked the ring on top of Tom Marquet.
14:30He's got to take the plate for when we come back for the wave-in situation.
14:34Wave-in left WCW last Thursday morning.
14:37Showed up in ECW Thursday night.
14:39He and Dreamer are the tag team champs.
14:43DDTI referee, Joel Finnegan.
14:45Dreamer pulled his arm this qualification.
14:52Oh, boy.
14:55Did Beulah McGillicuddy just make the biggest mistake of her life?
15:14Tommy Dreamer!
15:16The powerful Beulah McGillicuddy!
15:23As is the case with most wars, they're fought over very simple issues.
15:27And most men choose the overall woman.
15:30Beulah McGillicuddy, the former fat girl that went to summer camp
15:33with both Tommy Dreamer and Raven,
15:35was at the center of this triangle that stole ECW headlines
15:39for two and a half years.
15:40More on that this hour.
15:41Now we go down to the ring again.
15:43Tommy Dreamer!
15:44Tommy Dreamer!
15:45Tommy Dreamer!
15:46Tommy Dreamer!
15:47Tommy Dreamer!
15:48Axel Rotten to provide the opposition for his former tag team partner,
15:53Balls Mahoney.
15:54You know, it's not Tommy Dreamer and Raven.
15:57I mean, are just...
15:59They hated one another.
16:00But Dreamer hates Raven more than anyone else on the planet.
16:03And now, whether they like it or not,
16:07Tommy Dreamer is one half of the world tag team champion
16:11for the Raven as his partner.
16:15Axel Rotten and Balls Mahoney were the best of friends
16:19and are still close.
16:21But they made a promise.
16:22When they couldn't win the world tag team title belt,
16:25they would split up and pick the crap out of one another.
16:29And that's what happened.
16:31When he won the belt,
16:32and here in ECW, unlike other wrestling promotions,
16:35now it's a relationship of honor.
16:38He made the promise.
16:39He gave it to him.
16:40Now, for the fans of entertainment,
16:42these two will try to kill one another.
16:53Ladies and gentlemen, introducing from Nutley, New Jersey,
16:59weighing in tonight at 335 pounds,
17:05Balls Mahoney!
17:15And his opponent, weighing in tonight at an even 300 pounds,
17:20from Baltimore, Maryland,
17:24Axel Rotten!
17:29Boom!
17:33As close as these two came to being world tag team champions.
17:36Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel!
17:39Axel managing Balls Mahoney and Masato Tanaka
17:42for the championships.
17:44Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel!
17:47Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
17:58Tonight, no spikes, no kneejacks.
18:02Me and you, we're gonna parry...
18:10Now, there's seven words you can't say on television,
18:13and they're the favorites in the ECW locker room.
18:15Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel,
18:21Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel!
18:28Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel, Axel!
18:34Yay!
18:37You know, if this keeps up, I won't do any play-by-play.
18:44Don't let him slam on the 300-pounder by the 335-pounder.
18:49He was now coming up top, right onto for a new champ.
18:53This is the New Jersey champ.
18:56And
19:04a heel move to the top of the head for Mahoney.
19:11And here we go on the outside.
19:13That was inevitable.
19:15All that action will tear this building down as they have done so
19:20many times before, but on the same side of the foot.
19:25Bolton with a steel guard railing down Hardy Gould.
19:30No, not scissors.
19:33No, no.
19:40No, no.
19:48No, he went wide on that side.
19:52Is this really necessary?
19:57I mean, these two have promised to beat the hell out of one another.
20:02I don't remember hearing the word maiming.
20:04Maiming wasn't part of the plan.
20:06Oh, God!
20:07You don't want to call me!
20:13What the hell is wrong with these two?
20:17Vergana is rolling over in his grave.
20:20This frickin' guy isn't even dead yet!
20:24I mean, this sick son of a bitch wants to do this!
20:34I mean, this is violence to the point of absurdity!
20:38And these two are good friends!
20:40That's the best part of it!
20:43I mean, they're enjoying this!
20:46They can't help but miss!
20:49And all this brought to you by a nice Jewish boy from Starsdale.
20:53His mother must have been so proud.
21:01And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse,
21:05just when you thought that this systematic, artistic mess
21:12couldn't be taken to a new level of extremism,
21:21here comes the original dissolution
21:25with a trance camp full of good news!
21:28What?
21:32I'm sure I'm right!
21:34God!
21:35Absolutely!
21:37I'm sure I'm right!
21:38Absolutely!
21:39Absolutely!
21:40Absolutely!
21:41Absolutely!
21:42Absolutely!
21:43Absolutely!
21:44Absolutely!
21:45Absolutely!
21:46Absolutely!
21:47Absolutely!
21:48Absolutely!
21:49Absolutely!
21:50Absolutely!
21:51Absolutely!
21:52Absolutely!
21:53Absolutely!
21:54Absolutely!
21:55Absolutely!
21:56Absolutely!
21:57Absolutely!
21:58Absolutely!
21:59Absolutely!
22:00Absolutely!
22:01Absolutely!
22:02Absolutely!
22:03Absolutely!
22:04Absolutely!
22:05Absolutely!
22:06And with the loose end,
22:07right to the head of Axel Rock!
22:14It's followed up with a jack crystal stand!
22:21Axel now puts his one arm in!
22:24Just come on!
22:26God!
22:31We don't have to pull this anymore!
22:36He's got to take a break, I'm gonna go hide under my bed.
22:46He's got to take a break,
22:52I'm gonna go hide
22:58under my bed.
23:03I'll be damned, a wrestling move.
23:08New Jack has been eliminated.
23:13We are down to one on one competition between
23:19the two maniacs who started this matchup.
23:26Both Mahoney and Axel Rott.
23:36Damn, he's up.
23:39He wants more.
23:43Paul says bring it on, give me your best.
23:52Why?
23:59The Ult is still standing, my God.
24:04And that chair is done, look at it.
24:07One more time, one more time, one more time, one more time.
24:12Paul wants one more, Axel doesn't want to do it, he loves Paul.
24:17What would he do if he didn't like him?
24:20Paul's down to one knee, and he's getting up.
24:25Paul's is insane.
24:30Paul's is unconscious, cover.
24:35He kicked out how would he do it?
24:40Axel Rott trying to figure out a way to put away his former tag team partner.
24:45Telling Paul to stay down.
24:50Paul's will not back down.
24:55Axel Rott trying to figure out a way to put away his former tag team partner.
25:01Telling Paul to stay down.
25:09Paul's will not stay down.
25:22Hail over the head.
25:25Oh my God.
25:38Axel Rott gets his hand raised, but is he really the winner?
25:42What did he have to do to his friend to get the victory?
25:46In one, Paul just wouldn't stay down.
25:52Axel was thinking Paul should just stay down.
26:13This is one strange friendship.
26:22In the spirit of friendship and respect, Axel Rott calls for his opponent.
26:31New theme song.
26:36They made good on their promise and beat the living crap out of one another.
26:43And apparently now have a reconciliation.
26:49And upon each of these new, unlikely world tag team champions, Tommy Dreamer and Raven.
26:57I have got to be very leery of the reunited tag team.
27:04The chair swinging freaks, Paul Mahoney and Axel Rott.
27:10The Dreamer-Raven feud was always about the girl until June 17th of 1995.
27:16On that evening, Tommy Dreamer was given a reason to seek revenge.
27:22There's the bell.
27:26Oh my, Richard just laid out Luna.
27:30Jim Malino never saw it through.
27:33A three count.
27:37I don't believe it.
27:45And now Raven, no he wouldn't.
27:48DDT on Luna.
27:59Raven's loading that boot.
28:01And stomped Luna right in the head.
28:04Richard's hands him a chair.
28:06What a killer.
28:09Tommy Dreamer came in to make the save and got met with a chair between the eyes.
28:15Dreamer's still a mess from his altercation with the Vampire Warrior.
28:27DDT.
28:30DDT.
28:41Oh my God.
28:44If Raven didn't just snap that finger, he's certainly hot for extending it.
28:49And Tommy must be in excruciating pain.
28:54Luna back to her feet and not for long.
28:59Oh God, can you see that finger?
29:02Here comes Raven again.
29:04Dreamer's trying to fight him off.
29:07Dreamer knows what's coming and he can't stop it.
29:10Raven snaps another finger.
29:13January 5th, 1996.
29:16ECW's very first house party event.
29:19Arguably the most controversial episode of television we've ever done.
29:22We got thrown off of more television stations that evening than I care to remember.
29:27I mean, something so strange happened on television that it blew Extreme Championship Wrestling
29:34into complete turmoil and turned this entire promotion upside down.
29:42You know you're making me look bad in front of everybody.
29:44You don't understand.
29:45I said I don't want to be here.
29:47You don't understand.
29:48I said I don't want to be touched.
29:50Missy might be watching.
29:51Come on.
29:52I don't care.
29:53You're not going to kiss me.
29:54I don't want to be touched.
30:04No!
30:05Stop it!
30:10Oh, what's the matter?
30:11Oh, is it because you're Raven's girlfriend?
30:14No!
30:15I'm pregnant!
30:17Oh!
30:32You're what?
30:33You're pregnant?
30:34What are you, stupid?
30:36The pills say one day at a time, moron.
30:41What are you, an idiot?
30:47What do you care?
30:48It's not yours!
30:53No!
30:54Stop it!
30:55Stop it!
30:56It's not his either!
31:08It's Tommy's.
31:11It's Tommy's!
31:18It's Tommy's!
31:19It's Tommy's!

32:48Tommy got the gold, but for two and a half years, he never got the win.
33:15He came this close to defeating Raven in Tokyo, Japan.
33:18He cost Raven the World Heavyweight title against Kelly Funk at our first
33:21pay-per-view, barely legal.
33:23And then on June 17th, 1997, the final battle.
33:27A message to Raven, it's gonna take more than Raven.
33:31It's gonna take more than Spicoli to end Dreamer's dream.
33:35Tonight is Tommy Dreamer's night.
33:38One, two, three.
33:54Tommy Dreamer.
34:02His dream has come true.
34:04It's the greatest night of his life.
34:07Tommy Dreamer has beaten Raven.
34:24What an episode of ECW on TNN.
34:26Raven returns to ECW.
34:27He and Dreamer are the tag team champions, but Dreamer never saw it happen.
34:30He's not happy.
34:31Tajiri comes up short against Taz, Carino, and Tajiri are in the ring right now.
34:36A pathetic excuse for a man.
34:41And maybe the most overrated wrestler of all time.
34:52And I'm talking about you, Yoshihiro Tajiri.
35:00I don't think Tajiri understands.
35:02Two nights ago in the better city of Queens, I promised the people
35:12and I promised the world that you would defeat Taz
35:19and bring me the world heavyweight title.
35:23And you fail.
35:26He has no idea what Carino's talking about.
35:28Doesn't speak a word of it.
35:30Look at me when I'm talking to you.
35:34You know what?
35:37I hate Chinese food.
35:40This is just ignorance now.
35:43I hate the fact that you put too much MSG in my food
35:48and 15 minutes later I'm still hungry.
35:53Tajiri's Japanese.
35:55I hate the fact that you put too much starch in my shirt.
36:01Moron, he's Japanese and it's inappropriate anyway.
36:04And I hate the fact that you've taken over all the convenience stores
36:10and I can't get a fresh sandwich.
36:14Listen to this stuttering, mumbling punk.
36:20Don't you understand?
36:22No.
36:23I hate you.
36:26That Tajiri understood.
36:28And Carino had better get on his high horse
36:30and walk like the coward that he is.
36:33He's about to get his head kicked off.
36:36Rhyno and Jack victory in the ring, ready to pounce.
36:38In comes Super Crazy, the scheduled opponent
36:41and longtime nemesis of Tajiri.
36:44Nobody likes Carino.
36:49What the hell was that?
36:52Oh, it was a setup.
36:53It was another Steve Carino setup.
36:56He doesn't get it.
36:58Everybody knows that the greatest wrestlers come from Japan
37:06and the worst wrestlers come from Mexico.
37:14Walked him out and trapped him.
37:16They sucked in Super Crazy and Tajiri laid him up.
37:22Steve Carino with another setup.
37:27And Super Crazy has been knocked silly
37:30by the Japanese bar store Yoshihiro Tajiri.
37:36And that was the matchup we had scheduled,
37:38Tajiri versus Super Crazy.
37:43Super Crazy up top.
37:48One shot.
37:52And we are going to have this matchup after all.
37:55Easy up, easy up, easy up, easy up, easy up, easy up.
38:01Go get him, Crazy.
38:03Tajiri throw back in.
38:06Springboard dropkick flies the book.
38:15Crazy with some kicks of his own.
38:20That one right into the small of the back
38:22and that will hamper the kicking ability of Tajiri.
38:31Tajiri obviously in pain from those kicks,
38:34trying to get back to his feet.
38:36He's set for the ride.
38:38Hits a springboard side kick
38:40and catches Super Crazy right in the left eye.
38:47And there are those buzzsaw-like kicks we referred to earlier.
38:56Right across the chest of Super Crazy.
39:00This is a feud, a war, an issue that just will not die.
39:06Tajiri versus Super Crazy.
39:13And with Steve Carino in the corner of Tajiri
39:16it only did work.
39:22Super Crazy still trying to get back up to his feet
39:25after being kicked in the head.
39:35Hopping away.
39:37Close man misses.
39:39And a 12 kick to the knee of Super Crazy.
39:43Baseball slide Super Crazy goes over the guard rail.
39:53Asai moves up.
40:04Steve Carino has turned Tajiri into a hired assassin.
40:14First seeing a side of Tajiri we had never seen before.
40:21Tajiri now going up top.
40:24Super Crazy sidesteps the missile drop kick.
40:28Then he caught the line.
40:44In succession right hand to the skull of Yoshihiro Tajiri.
40:52Super Crazy still trying to shake off the cobwebs.
40:56After taking those buzzsaw-like kicks to the cranium.
41:01Hits springing up out of nowhere by Tajiri.
41:05Can he follow up?
41:14Closed by Duff.
41:16Waist lock by Tajiri.
41:18Into a full mountain.
41:20Now steps in.
41:22Spin Super Crazy.
41:24Height lifts at the back.
41:26Back to the waist lock.
41:27Super Duplex Spring.
41:30Two and a half.
41:34Two and a half years referee John P. Weaver.
41:43Both feet to the face of Super Crazy.
41:46And that should be all for the Insane Luchador.
41:59It is a crazy brain buster.
42:00No, nice pattern.
42:05What a powerful multiple.
42:08And gets the win.
42:11Super Crazy.
42:15Despite Steve Torino's pressure for Crazy gets the win.
42:19And his war with Tajiri lives on.
42:23Here in Extreme Championship Wrestling.
42:29What a matchup.
