00:00When the show is over, you can sit in the parking lot and realize what a great metaphor
00:09it is for the wrestling business.
00:11Cold, dark, unforgiving to an outcast such as myself, a rebel in a conservative business.
00:21I don't get it.
00:26Why did I ever bring back the Sandman?
00:28That drunk is going to drive me crazy.
00:32Dreamer is always bitching about teaming with you.
00:35The Impact player is always bitching about wanting more title shots.
00:40Everybody is critical.
00:41I got to come up with something new every week.
00:44Oh man.
00:47Damn it.
00:48I'm as miserable as you are.
00:51What are you telling me for?
00:55I don't know.
00:58Quote the Heyman, never more.
01:28I don't know.
01:58I don't know.
02:02I don't know.
02:06I don't know.
02:10I don't know.
02:14I don't know.
02:18I don't know.
02:22I don't know.
02:23I don't know.
02:26I don't know.
02:30Hello, everyone, and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV.
02:33I'm Joey Styles at the Harrow Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
02:37And we were so close.
02:39We were so close.
02:40You saw it at the top of the program.
02:42We were close to seeing the real Scott Levy emerge from Raven.
02:48And then something went wrong.
02:49and it went wrong here tonight in Dayton, Ohio.
02:54We're gonna get into that, but at this time,
02:56we've gotta take a look back and see what happened
02:58at the 1999 November to remember.
03:00Raven clocked the Sandman,
03:02causing the Sandman to be pinned by Justin Credible.
03:05Was it on purpose?
03:06Was it an accident?
03:07We try to get answers out of Raven.
03:09In fact, we got a clue as to what direction he was going
03:12in tonight here in Dayton, Ohio.
03:14And before the TNN television taping even began,
03:19here tonight from the Harrah Arena,
03:21the other half of the ECW World Tag Team Champions,
03:25Tommy Dreamer, had this warning for Raven.
03:34Decadence and debauchery.
03:38My scarred childhood.
03:40The world is out to get me.
03:43What about me?
03:46What about Raven?
03:48You wanna hide yourself behind piercings and tattoos?
03:53Don't you get it?
03:55You fit in.
03:57You're just like all of us.
04:00Nobody's perfect.
04:03Life sucks.
04:05Take it on the chin.
04:07You wanna try to destroy me?
04:10What do you think you can do now
04:11that you haven't done to me before?
04:14You think I care about my body?
04:17You wanna beat me?
04:20You wanna beat me?
04:25We're bound by something stronger than love.
04:32We're bound by something stronger than hate.
04:40We're bound by blood.
04:45Do the right thing, Scotty.
04:48Do the right thing.
04:50It was right here tonight,
04:51during our TNN taping,
04:53from this very building,
04:55it was the Sandman one-on-one
04:58versus the Rookie Monster Rhino,
05:01and then all hell broke loose.
05:05And the situation with Raven, Dreamer,
05:06and the Sandman, even worse.
05:09It was a leg sweep!
05:10It was a leg sweep!
05:20Home run, swing!
05:22Rhino goes down to one knee and gets back up!
05:31He's up again!
05:35Third time, did it!
05:38It's just incredible, and Jason!
05:40Jason just strikes the Sandman!
05:43Oh my God!
05:50Just incredible, caning the life out of the Sandman!
05:53The man he stole that cane from!
05:55It's Tommy Dreamer!
05:58Tommy Dreamer to the aid of the Sandman!
06:03Dreamer's got career!
06:05Dreamer's got Carino!
06:07But Rhino nails Dreamer!
06:14Sandman and Dreamer are being mugged!
06:17They are being mugged!
06:20Tommy!
06:21Tommy!
06:22Tommy!
06:23Tommy!
06:23Tommy!
06:24Tommy!
06:25Tommy!
06:26Tommy!
06:27Tommy!
06:28Tommy!
06:28Tommy!
06:29Tommy!
06:30Tommy!
06:31Tommy!
06:32Tommy!
06:33It's Raven!
06:33Raven's in the ring!
06:40Down goes just incredible!
06:42Down goes Jack Victory!
06:50Raven clears the ring!
06:53We've seen this before!
06:54He gets jealous when other people beat up Dreamer!
06:58He wants to kick the crap out of Dreamer himself!
07:02Raven extending his hand
07:04to his World Tag Team Championship partner!
07:06The DDT is inevitable!
07:12He did the right thing!
07:14And the Sandman caged him right between the eyes!
07:20The Sandman caged Raven repeatedly
07:23and Dreamer now trying to keep the Sandman off of Raven!
07:30The Sandman trying to destroy Raven here in Dayton!
07:34Dreamer forced him, dragging the Sandman
07:38right out of the ring and Sandman wants it Raven!
07:44A shocking turn of events,
07:45Raven did the right thing
07:47and the Sandman really didn't care.
07:50It was at the end of the TNN program
07:52that we finally caught up to Raven
07:54and got these very disturbing comments.
07:59I did the right thing, Tommy.
08:02Why'd you let the drunk beat me up?
08:06I did the right thing, Tommy.
08:08Why'd you let the drunk beat me up?
08:10It's just like when I was seven years old
08:13and I came home from school with an A-minus.
08:16My dad beat the crap out of me.
08:19I could still smell the beer in his breath.
08:23Just beat the crap out of me.
08:25Said it wasn't good enough.
08:27I did the right thing.
08:30I asked my mother, I said,
08:32Mom, Mommy, why's Daddy beat me?
08:36I did the right thing.
08:37And she said, You're lucky that's all he does to you.
08:40I did the right thing, Tommy.
08:42Why'd you let him beat me up?
08:45Tommy, why'd you let that drunk beat me up?
08:48I did the right thing, Tommy.
08:51He let that drunk beat me up, Tommy.
08:53I did the right thing.
08:55I did the right thing, Mom.
08:57Why'd you let that drunk beat me up?
08:59I did the right thing.
09:02Go say hi to your mom!
09:05I did the right thing.
09:07I did the right thing.
09:11I did the right thing.
09:14I did the right thing.
09:17I did the right thing.
09:20I did the right thing.
09:23I did the right thing.
09:27It's obvious that Raven is stacked.
09:29No question about it, he's disturbed.
09:31And this can mean nothing good for Tommy Dreamer,
09:33the Sandman, or Raven himself.
09:36He'll become Little Guido,
09:38challenging Rob Van Dam for the World Television title.
09:41Plus, Taz wants the title back.
09:44He challenges the World Heavyweight Champion, Mike Austin.
09:52If you missed the 1999 November Tourmember,
09:55you missed New Jack diving off of a basketball backboard.
10:01However, Angel pinned New Jack to become the new King of the Street.
10:10Little Guido rides Big Sal to the ring,
10:13here at the Harrow Arena in Dayton, Ohio.
10:20Can Guido reach up and snatch the brass ring here tonight?
10:25Can he dethrone Mr. Pay-Per-View Rob Van Dam?
10:30And become World Television Champion?
10:34Guido, no stranger to gold,
10:36formerly one-half of the ECW World Tag Team Champions.
10:47This won't go on long.
10:49It is for the ECW World Tag Team Champions!
11:00Not to sell Guido short,
11:03but based on the record of Rob Van Dam,
11:06who is the longest reigning champion in professional wrestling today.
11:11Van Dam won the World Television title from Bam Bam Bigelow
11:15in Buffalo, New York back in April of 1998.
11:21Guido's best chance of taking the gold
11:23and to get the near 600-pound Big Sal involved every chance he gets.
11:31Rob Van Dam! Rob Van Dam!
11:35Rob Van Dam!
11:38Guido, no doubt, will be looking for one of two submission holds on Rob Van Dam.
11:45That Fujiwara armbar, or perhaps the Sicilian Crest.
11:50And if Van Dam ducks his head just a second too soon,
11:54he may fall victim to the Maratado, formerly the Tamagotchi.
12:03There's the man himself!
12:07The most popular athlete in the history of extreme championship wrestling.
12:16Accompanied to the ring by the manager of champions,
12:19the man who calls it right down the middle.
12:22These days, that's a job and a half,
12:24considering Sabu and Van Dam want at each other.
12:28Del Alfonso.
12:34Every fan here at the Impact Era Arena on their feet
12:41to greet the World Television champion, Rob Van Dam.
12:47Van Dam, so physically gifted, with strength, speed, quickness, flexibility,
12:55there's nothing he can't do.
13:07Van Dam taking his time getting into the ring,
13:10which has got to drive Guido nuts.
13:17Challenger out first.
13:19Champion makes him wait. Champion makes him cool down.
13:26Rob Van Dam's fans want to see him make quick work
13:30of the challenger, Guido.
13:34Rob Van Dam, as we've been talking about.
13:40Yes, Van Dam breaks the cover of the current ECW magazine.
13:45Trying to do his dance right now.
13:52Rob Van Dam, every hit fits as good as he thinks he is.
13:57Maybe even better.
14:14Coming to ringside, by one half of the FBI,
14:19is the Big Sal Boasty,
14:22Sally Graziano!
14:26Nice shades. More like two-thirds of the FBI.
14:30Weighing in tonight at 201 and one-quarter pounds,
14:35hailing from the Isle of Sicily,
14:39is the extreme stud, Little Guido!
14:45Actually, with a combined weight of 800 pounds,
14:47Sal is three-quarters of the FBI.
14:49Coming to ringside by the manager of champions
14:53and the man who calls it right down the middle,
14:58Mr. Bill Alfonso!
15:03He represents, weighing in tonight at 235 pounds,
15:08hailing from Bell Creek, Michigan,
15:12is the current ECW World Television Champion,
15:19Mr. Pay Per View, Rob Van Dam!
15:26Referee A.T. Huff to officiate this contest.
15:32Trying to keep his eye on Big Sal and Bill Alfonso.
15:39Both of whom can and will get involved in this matchup
15:43every chance they get.
15:49Rob Van Dam, defending champion,
15:53Rob Van Dam, defending the World Television title
15:57against the challenge of Little Guido
15:59here at the Harrah Arena in Dayton, Ohio,
16:03on ECW Hardcore TV.
16:22Where's my Visa?
16:25Where's my Visa?
16:28Where's my Visa?
16:31Where's my Visa?
16:34Where's my Visa?
16:37Where's my Visa?
16:39The fans now taunting Guido,
16:41and as always, the hothead is falling for it.
16:44Van Dam has got to love that.
16:48Guido infamous for his amazingly short temper.
16:56Bill Alfonso trying to trip up Guido there,
16:59just trying to get inside his head again.
17:01Your best strategy against Little Guido
17:03is to make him lose his cool.
17:08Guido in fantastic condition,
17:10you're not going to make him blow up.
17:12Former chute fighter with UWFI,
17:14trained by Billy Robinson.
17:17However, when he gets angry, he loses his cool,
17:19he strays from his methodical game plan.
17:21Waist lock by Guido.
17:24Van Dam looking for a way out,
17:26Guido takes him down, nice takedown,
17:28floats over, inner front chancery,
17:30Rob Van Dam sits out, Guido on top again,
17:32Van Dam rolls through.
17:35Both athletes back up to a vertical base.
17:39And while Van Dam is very proud of himself,
17:42Matt Wrestling, Little Guido,
17:44is not the champion's best strategy.
17:50Van Dam has got to hit and run.
17:53Playing those kicks, look for the Van Daminator
17:56and the five star frog splash.
17:58Don't go to the canvas with Guido.
18:02They tie up again.
18:04Side headlock now by Little Guido,
18:06Rob Van Dam down to one knee,
18:09now finds himself trying to fight upwards
18:11to break the headlock.
18:13Van Dam back up to a vertical base,
18:15Guido walking the turnbuckles,
18:17Van Dam in control, but Guido hangs on.
18:20Van Dam trying to throw Guido off,
18:22Guido just really doesn't like it.
18:25Van Dam trying to throw Guido off,
18:27Guido just really doesn't like it.
18:30Guido just really slammed it on the head of Van Dam.
18:34Guido's up for the ride,
18:35dropped down by Van Dam too soon.
18:38Sunset flip by Guido takes Van Dam over,
18:41barely a two.
18:43Front kick by Van Dam,
18:45Guido's up for the ride,
18:46reversal, drop down by Guido,
18:48back flip, arm drag by Guido,
18:52clothesline duck, Van Dam with a waist lock,
18:54standing switch takes Guido down,
18:57head scissors counter,
18:58Van Dam out.
19:04One has to wonder if Van Dam is feeling
19:06the weight of his schedule,
19:08recently with successful title defenses
19:12against the human suplex machine Tag.
19:15Tag team partner Sabu,
19:17Balls Mahoney,
19:19Uganda, that 400 pound monster,
19:22and Johnny Smith.
19:25Guido himself in the last 10 days
19:28with victories over Nova,

19:37tilt the world, Guido with the door behind,
19:40side Italian leg sweep,
19:44and a drop kick,
19:45both feet in the face of Van Dam.
19:48Considering Guido's only 5'8",
19:50that's a hell of a drop kick.
19:52Reversal,
19:54Guido ducks the enzigiri,
19:56both ways,
19:58there it is, the Fujiwara arm bar,
20:00Van Dam may have to give it up,

23:52it's a hammer lock in a pinning predicament,
23:56trying to dislocate Van Dam's shoulder,
23:58Van Dam wouldn't give it up,
24:00Guido rocks the knee pad
24:02and drives it into the temple of Van Dam,
24:05what a well placed knee,
24:07and then an elbow,
