00:00You know, I stand here and I think to myself, self, how does the Danaconda do it?
00:09I mean, how do I score so many beautiful women in so many towns?
00:15Better yet, how do I score a fine female like this?
00:20I mean, look at her face.
00:24Look at the flowing hair.
00:26Look at that body.
00:30Just think, I used to worry about people like Chris Chetty, Nova, but not anymore.
00:36Oh no, I have bigger and better things to worry about.
00:41From her head to her toe.
00:43From her toe up to her beautiful...
00:52I think you might need to...
00:54What are you doing back there?
00:58You keep this up, roadkill, and you'll be grazing barns again very shortly.
01:02She's with the conda.
01:05Chickens.
02:24Hello, everyone, and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV.
02:51I'm Joey Styles at the infamous ECW Arena in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
02:56As you saw at the open of our program as reported last week on ECWWrestling.com and this week
03:04on MTV, Steve Carino did in fact get into a physical altercation with Fred Durst, the
03:10lead singer of Limp Bizkit.
03:12We will show you that footage on this week's program, but right now we go down to the ring.
03:21The first family of the Lizard-linked North Caroliners making their second appearance
03:27here on ECW Hardcore TV.
03:31Lift up.
03:34I see Bo Duff slashing through that handle of Fletcher that's been plaguing him.
03:46More of Benjamin Morris.
03:49Singing for God knows what the fact that he doesn't need to smell it.
03:54Huck Duff having a little trouble getting in the ring.
03:58Jack Duff looking at his look for Steven DeAngelo.
04:02How about referee Dick Ross celebrating 35 years as a referee in the sport of professional
04:09wrestling.
04:10Got to deal with these inbred morons.
04:13Bill Zacklose turning over to Frank.
04:21The opposition for the Duff, the team of Nova and Kid K.
04:34Classic clashing styles here.
04:38The Duff, 6'4", 260, 6'5", 270.
04:44That's Jack and Bo respectively.
04:47Two power wrestlers.
04:50Nova and Kid K will have to rely on quickness and perhaps some aerial offense.
04:58Who knows what Nova will uncork here tonight in Philadelphia.
05:03Look at Puck Duff.
05:08What's he digging for?
05:11That must be pointless.
05:19Introducing first, accompanied to the ring this evening by Puck Duff.
05:25P-U-C-K.
05:27P-U-P-P.
05:28Weighing in at a total combined weight of 570 pounds.
05:33From Lizard Lick, North Carolina, they are Bo Duff, Jack Duff, the Duff family.
05:41North Carolina.
05:48And their opponents, weighing in at 203 pounds, from Johnson City, Tennessee, Kid Kash.
05:59And his tag team partner, weighing in at 225 pounds, from the Silicon Valley, this is Nova.
06:17Nova, a fan favorite here at the ECW Arena in historic South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
06:25Go Nova! Go Nova! Go Nova!
06:33That young man's a testament to hard work and patience.
06:42A love of comic books doesn't hurt either.
06:45King Cash to start out the matchup against Jack Duff.
06:55Now an elbow tie up, Jack just throws Cash back into the corner.
07:06And King Cash inciting Jack Duff.
07:13Nice arm drag after abducting a couple of haymakers in an attempted leg sweep.
07:24Reversal.
07:26Float line Duff.
07:30Built the world's wide history with a Japanese arm drag.
07:35Traditional arm drag into the arm bar.
07:40Solid offensive series by Cash gets clubbed in the head like a baby seal.
07:45Through the legs.
07:46Waist locked, tries to roll him up.
07:48Jack Duff hands on.
07:51Springboard kicks him up.
07:53Two count only since referee said pull.
07:56And another deep arm drag.
08:00There's the tag to Nova.
08:04Double hip toss.
08:08Great double team wrestling by Nova and Cash lateral press up the leg.
08:12Sixth hole of the mission.
08:14Two count only.
08:18Arm drag into boat up.
08:23You know, we need to get him some medicated powder, man.
08:26Clear that right up.
08:28That wasn't locked up with hip power, Nova.
08:39Go ahead and see.
08:41Bad idea.
08:43The 270 pound boat up.
08:50Nova looked like a handball hitting the wall.
09:00And try it again.
09:02Nova ducks.
09:04Leap frog by boat up.
09:06Off to the hole.
09:09Into an arm drag.
09:16Multi flip attempt and boat up just too big and strong.
09:21Nova lands a right hand.
09:25And a beautiful bulldog driving boat up face first into the canvas.
09:31Reversal.
09:33Through the legs.
09:35Boat up gets a face full of ring entrance.
09:38Shoulder blast.
09:40Up off the top.
09:41Lands on his feet.
09:43Double drop kick.
09:50Keep your eye on Nova.
09:53Through the face.
09:58Kid Cash up top.
10:01Oh, my God.
10:08Kid Cash is money.
10:12Somersault flies you from the top.
10:15Turnbuckle onto a dunk all the way to the concrete floor.
10:24Springboard drop kick down the mark.
10:27And a two.
10:31Pops up on the ring apron.
10:35Kid Cash and the tide has turned.
10:39The Lizard Lake contingency now in control thanks to the interference of Pop Duck.
10:49And the fans getting on the case of the Duck family.
10:53Scoop.
10:56And a backbreaker by the 270 pounder.
11:03What impact on the flank.
11:05That's it.
11:06Come on.
11:07No.
11:08I just can't move.
11:15Hanging a jacked up.
11:21Football tackle.
11:23Cover.
11:30Two count only.
11:32Kid Cash escapes at two.
11:40Jacked up now riding Kid Cash.
11:45Rear chin lock.
11:49Kid Cash has to get.
11:51Take the tag.
11:53Elbow.
11:55Make it two.
11:56Frees himself.
11:57Shucks the clothesline.
12:00What rotation on the power slam.
12:05Forget about it.
12:08Two and three quarters.
12:11Two and three quarters as the veterans grow.
12:21Again the Ducks questioning the count.
12:24There is no reason to do so.
12:31Right hand to the corner.
12:34Lift into the corner.
12:35Kid Cash down.
12:36The Moonsault Threadsman.
12:38Throwing over the shoulder.
12:40And landed once again.
12:44Cover.
12:47And Kid Cash manages to kick out in a kick.
12:55The Ducks say that is all but going to finish off Kid Cash.
12:59And if he doesn't tag in Nova, the team of Nova and Kid Cash has absolutely no chance of surviving this matchup with the Ducks.
13:13Jacked up.
13:14Going up.
13:18Wasting too much time.
13:27Kid Cash in a desperation with the Leaping Hood at John Warner.
13:34Here he tags Nova in.
13:44He's plodding towards the long corner.
13:47Moonsault tags in.
13:48There's the tag and Nova in he comes.
13:50Shucks the clothesline.
13:53Lifts the flag far.
13:57One-armed bandit.
14:03Moonsault out of the corner.
14:06Both feet in the face.
14:10One-handed Snatchbreaker.
14:13Jacked up.
14:14Breaks up the cover.
14:18Going behind.
14:20Yes!
14:23Spin Doctor.
14:31Jacked up.
14:32Hooked up.
14:33Who was on the apron?
14:35Nova.
14:36Hooks a load up.
14:38Now he's got jacked up.
14:43That young man is a supernova of offense.
14:49Covers all three jumps.
14:53Kick out.
14:58Jack and Nova turn their attention to jacked up.
15:03A spear and a clothesline out of the corner.
15:06Jacked up is done.
15:09Moonsault makes the save this time.
15:12Nova and Kid Cash have jacked up each.
15:16Hooked up up top.
15:19And he's hooked up.
15:25It's Cheney.
15:26Chris Cheney has seen it up.
15:34The hell has popped up, too.
15:40The Cobra.
15:46Cheney decapitates.
15:48Popped up and drives him up and over the top rope.
15:54Chris Cheney, who's rehabbing a back injury.
15:58Evened up the odds.
16:00Nova fights to the pile climber.
16:05Ripped a nice crunch.
16:17Whip and a six from Chris Cheney.
16:22Still to come on Hardcore TV.
16:24Rob Van Dam defends the world television title
16:27against the 400 pound Ugandans.
16:30Plus, the catfight wars of 1999 continue.
16:34And Steve Carino crashes the Lip Bizkit Custer.
16:37Don't go away.
16:39It's not about the wrestling.
16:40Cyrus, my son.
16:42A gimmick has bestowed itself upon thee.
16:45What do you think?
16:46Pretty snazzy?
16:49I don't think so.
16:50They're not going to go for the collar.
16:52The office is Jewish.
16:54What collar?
16:55I'll tell you what.
16:56I got a great idea.
16:57I can be back here in five minutes
16:59with a Yamaha on my head.
17:01What do you think of that?
17:03Mazel tov.
17:04You're hired.
17:05Oy vey.
17:06Habanagia.
17:07Tremendous.
17:09What a schmuck.
17:13First of all, there is no office.
17:17Second of all, wasn't that James Vandenberg from WCW,
17:20collector of lost antiquities, bookends, and rocking chairs,
17:23whatever the hell that gimmick meant in the first place?
17:26Earlier tonight, we taped for TNN
17:29when Chris Candido and the Rookie Monster Rhino
17:33interrupted myself and, uh, oh, yeah, Joel Gertner
17:37and decided to make an impact of their own
17:39on Lance Storm and Justin Krebs.

24:03The 400 pound Uganda is back,
24:08an extreme champion to wrestling,
24:11and back at the ECW Arena.
24:16Game away since last we saw him.
24:19The next match is for the ECW World Television Championship.
24:27Game away since last we saw him.
24:31The next match is for the ECW World Television Championship.
24:56Game away since last we saw him.
25:06Uganda's opponent is the ECW World Television Champion,
25:14the most popular athlete in the history of ECW,
25:21the longest reigning champion in professional wrestling today,
25:28and the gold medalist.
25:42Will Alfonso Big drop into the ring?
25:52Will Alfonso finds himself embroiled in controversy.
25:58He is still the manager of records for both Rob Van Dam and Samu,
26:05former best friends and tag team partners
26:08who have been at one another's throats last week on CNA.
26:14Last week on CNA,
26:17Will Alfonso threw in the towel on behalf of Samu,
26:22causing a World Television title matchup against Rob Van Dam.
26:27Van Dam was furious with Alfonso
26:30because he wanted to win the matchup by pinfall and submission.
26:35Van Dam and Fonzie seemingly have patched things up.
26:40I doubt that Alfonso can patch things up as easily
26:45with the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal Samu.
26:50Van Dam won the ECW World Television title
26:53from the near 400,000 Bam Bam Bigelow
26:58in Buffalo, New York,
27:01with April winning the title.
27:04Will Alfonso Big drop into the ring?
27:07Will Alfonso finds himself embroiled in controversy.
27:11He is still the manager of records for both Rob Van Dam and Samu,
27:17in Buffalo, New York, with April of 1998.
27:24But Uganda, well over 400 pounds.
27:38Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first, The Challenger.
27:43Weighing in at 425 pounds, this is Uganda.
27:54And his opponent, accompanied to the ring this evening
27:57by the man who calls it right down the middle,
28:01the manager of champions, Mr. Bill Alfonso.
28:08And he represents, weighing in at 237 pounds,
28:13from Battle Creek, Michigan,
28:15he is the current ECW World Television champion,
28:21Mr. Pay-Per-View, Rob Van Dam.
28:28Referee John Peeley-Moore to officiate this matchup.
28:58Samu! Samu! Samu!
29:05We have been joined here on the top stage
29:08by Samu, who is on crutches.
29:12Result of an injury he suffered in the ring on TNN
29:15against Rob Van Dam last week.
29:23Right down the middle, Danny.
29:27Ladies and gentlemen, it's just been brought to my attention
29:32that we have a very special guest in the house.
29:45If we could please, can we get a round of applause
29:50for a very warm welcome
29:54for a very close and personal friend of Fonzie's, Samu.
30:00Samu! Samu! Samu!
30:05Samu! Samu! Samu!
30:10Samu! Samu! Samu!
30:15Samu! Samu! Samu!
30:19Samu! Samu! Samu!
30:24Now, Samu, I wish that I could be giving you another shot
30:29at the world television title tonight,
30:32but from what I've heard and from the looks of your leg,
30:37I don't believe that you can even hobble down to the ring tonight,
30:40much less get your ass beat by our team.
30:42He's ready to go!
30:48For God's sake, hold him back!
30:51Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!
30:54Let him go! Let him go! Let him go!
30:59Paul Heyman leading with Samu not to head to the ring.
31:04So I'll tell you what I'll do, Samu,
31:08because I have such a big heart
31:11and because I feel so bad about that busted leg.
31:16Here's what I'm gonna do, Samu.
31:18I'm gonna...
31:21I'm gonna dedicate this match to you.
31:26And Samu, none to amuse by the comments of Rob Van Dam.
31:36That's right, Fonzie. I know he's pissed. Why?
31:39What am I doing? I'm helping him out.
31:41Ladies and gentlemen,
31:43tonight's world television title defense
31:47is dedicated to a very homicidal,
31:51very suicidal, very fragile,
31:55busted-legged, non-championship-belt-holding...
32:01...ex-partner, good friend of Fonzie's,
32:04and last but not least,
32:07second-favorite wrestler of The Sheik,
32:11Samu.
32:14Second-favorite wrestler of The Sheik?
32:18That's right, brother. This one's for you.
32:33Uganda capitalizing as three referees,
32:37the owner of this company,
32:39and an insane musician trying to hold back Samu.
32:45Uganda takes full advantage,
32:47now strangling the world television champion in the corner.
32:51Second-favorite wrestler of The Sheik.
33:00Splash in the corner.
33:03Nowhere for Van Dam to go.
33:11Back the other way.
33:13Van Dam gets out of the way of that train...
33:17...and plants a side kick on the jaw of Uganda.
33:21But Uganda just keeps coming at Van Dam.
33:26That huge 400-plus pound beast just keeps charging at Van Dam.
33:35Oh, my God!
33:38Cover, this may be all!
33:41Van Dam kicks out at two.
33:51It would be no shame in Uganda
33:53being the ECW World Television Champion,
33:56but what a public relations nightmare that is.
34:03Uganda will be signing autographs from all between two and four.
34:06Please don't bring any children under three
34:08as he may eat them.
34:15Chopped to the throat,
34:17not even veiled from referee John Teewey Moore.
34:20And now Uganda trying to squeeze the life
34:23out of the World Television Champion.
34:30Van Dam rings Uganda's bell.
34:33Overhead, belly to belly.
34:39And a cover!
34:43Van Dam kicks out.
34:47Look at the way Uganda covered Van Dam.
34:49It's like he wanted Van Dam to kick out,
34:51like he's enjoying himself.
34:54I don't think Uganda understands
34:56from the World Television Titans.
35:02Now raking away at the eyes of Rob Van Dam.
35:07Down across the back is Webb.
35:14Van Dam rolls underneath the clothesline.
35:16Another perfectly placed side kick.
35:19Spinning heel kick behind the ear.
35:21Uganda is wobbled.
35:24Drop kick sends the beast down to the canvas
35:27and then Ebony's wearing something underneath that native garb.
35:36Uganda provides the most unique challenge to date
35:39for Rob Van Dam,
35:4119-month ECW World Television title reign.
35:48Here is a front kick to the right hand.
35:51Van Dam just laying into Uganda.
35:57Reversal, Uganda just puts on the brakes
36:00but runs into the boot of Rob Van Dam.
36:03Van Dam up top.
36:07Shoved off the pump,
36:08her muscle crashes into the steel guard rail.
36:14Van Dam is down and clutching at his right arm.
36:20The World Television Champion is down on the concrete floor
36:24and obviously in pain.
36:28And Uganda is going outside
36:30after the World Television Champion.
36:37Won't let him.
36:38The ring apron takes the head off of Rob Van Dam.
36:52The challenger, Uganda,
36:54taking the fight to the World Television Champion, Rob Van Dam
36:58here at the ECW Arena
37:01in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
37:07Outside on the floor,
37:09rolling with this 400-pounder
37:11is not where the champ wants to be.
37:17Van Dam hits the steel.
37:19Uganda charges and misses.
37:26Van Dam up.
37:28And again, Uganda one-stepping out of the ring.
37:33And again, Uganda one step ahead of Rob Van Dam.
37:37Rob Van Dam is in trouble
37:40and Samu has got to be loving every minute of it.
37:49Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV.
37:53Rob Van Dam launches himself at the challenger, Uganda.
38:03Up and over the top this time.
38:05Rob Van Dam is unbelievable.
38:14And you can bet,
38:15not only is he trying to retain the World Television title,
38:18but he's pulling out all the suck
38:20for the benefit of Samu,
38:23who's watched it.
38:26Cover shot, leg drop,
38:28over the steel, four-in-wheel.
38:33The fans love Rob Van Dam.
38:39And right now, Samu is hating Rob Van Dam.
38:49You've got to wonder
38:51how long does Paul Heyman really think he can keep Samu
38:56from a title shot.
38:59How long does he think he can keep Samu
39:02from attacking Rob Van Dam?
39:09Rob Van Dam now takes his life into his own hands,
39:13right underneath us,
39:15and he's taunting Samu.
39:18Paul Heyman, who used to be Paul A. Dangerously,
39:22manager of Samu, pleading with Samu
39:25not to attack Rob Van Dam.
39:28Samu and Samu are dangerously close to one another,
39:32no pun intended,
39:34and Phil Alfonso now introducing that table
39:37into this matchup.
39:45Chair to the face!
39:51Oh, my God!
39:58Peace and love! Peace and love! Peace and love!
40:04Samu almost killed himself
40:07simply to steal the spotlight from Rob Van Dam.
40:14Van Dam still animated from the chair
40:16that hit him between the eyes.
40:18Samu! Samu!
40:20Samu may have done Uganda a huge favor
40:24before putting Uganda through the paper.
40:28Samu wants to Rob Van Dam!
40:30Rob Van Dam wants to Samu,
40:33and Phil Alfonso is right in the middle of it.
40:37Samu here possibly crawling towards Rob Van Dam.
40:44Sooner or later, it's going to explode,
40:47this situation between Samu and Rob Van Dam.
40:52The hand-clutch between the two
40:54has been boiling over for years.
40:58Even when they were the ECW World Tag Team Champions,
41:02they still could just barely keep it together.
41:08And now Rob Van Dam shook Phil Alfonso down
41:11with just minutes ago.
41:13It seemed that Alfonso's relationship with Van Dam
41:16was stronger than the relationship he had with Samu.
41:20Phil Alfonso may find himself out,
41:22but long before this one is all said and done.
41:27Samu! Samu!
41:30Here across the lower back is Uganda.
41:34Van Dam wisely capitalizing on the fact
41:37that Samu is from Uganda for the table.
41:47Van Dam with a series of right hands and forearms.
41:52The martial idea by Uganda is just so big
41:55takes both feet right in the face.
41:57Van Dam up top, back towards, up to the top.
42:02Van Daminator!
42:04Down goes Uganda!
42:08Up goes Van Dam!
42:13Five stars for West Covina!
42:18Your winner and still ECW World Television Champion,
42:25Samu Alfonso!
42:36Rob Van Dam retains the World Television title
42:39and that's not the big story here.
42:41The big story is Rob Van Dam.
42:46It's Rob Van Dam and Samu
42:49wanting to kill each other's insults.
42:56Phil Alfonso
42:59trying to smooth things over with Samu.
43:01Good luck, Fonzie.
43:07Samu watching Rob Van Dam despite the fact
43:11that he can't even stand on that one leg
43:14that was injured last week in Chicago.
43:27Rob Van Dam still the longest reigning champion
43:30in professional wrestling today.
43:37But perhaps only until the leg of Samu heals up.
