04:25on one half of the World Tag Team Champions.
04:27Raven here tonight heading into their showdown
04:30for the Tag Team Championship at your ear's charge.
04:34The World Heavyweight Championship embroiled in controversy earlier tonight.
04:38Masato Tanaka was sitting in the front row
04:41until the champion, Mike Awesome, attacked Little Spike Dudley.
04:45♪♪
04:53And Tanaka brought out Spike Dudley.
04:56Tanaka is here in Nashville to scout Mike Awesome
05:00for their World Heavyweight Title bout
05:02next week in White Plains, New York.
05:05Mike Awesome is inviting Tanaka into the ring
05:09and we've got Masato Tanaka, the World Heavyweight Champion,
05:13going at it here in Nashville.
05:15And this is a preview of what you'll see next week on TNS.
05:19A whole host of security guards
05:23now breaking apart Masato Tanaka and Mike Awesome.
05:28No, no, no, no, no, Paulie, no, no, no.
05:30Listen, you and I didn't build this company from the bottom up.
05:34Why not give the people what they want?
05:36Let them go. Let's have the match.
05:39Paulie, have some balls.
05:44Come on, have some balls.
05:46Have the match, like anarchy rules.
05:49Just like anarchy rules.
05:51Give it to them. Give these people what they want.
05:54Come on, give it to them.
05:56Have some balls, have some balls for the company.
06:00Do it, do it, do it, do it.
06:04Will he still be the king of extreme here tonight
06:09in this impromptu matchup against the one-time
06:12genesis, Masato Tanaka?
06:16Looking forward from the ring apron.
06:18He's gonna try to put Tanaka through the table.
06:20Will he get him up?
06:26Oh, my God!
06:49Take his hands!
06:57A headbutt through that table.
07:01Two steel chairs on top of one another.
07:05Tanaka looking for a tornado GDG.
07:08Will he get it?
07:12One, two, three.
07:15Awesome kick down in two.
07:17And now Tanaka has got to be frustrated.
07:20The world heavyweight champion under one chair.
07:23Tanaka with the other in hand, ascending the turnbuckle.
07:31Good night, Thomas.
07:37Awesome kick down again.
07:39Tanaka should not let the frustration get to him.
07:42This is the best he's looked in his life.
07:44He has the best opportunity to take the title
07:47that he's had since the beginning of the contest.
07:54He just got nailed!
07:57Driven like a wreck!
07:59No, he's out! He's out!
08:09Unbelievable! Tanaka just won't go down!
08:15Oh!
08:19Oh, my God!
08:21Mike Austin just caved in the stun of Masato Tanaka!
08:26The pain in Tanaka's face!
08:30And now Mike Austin, world heavyweight champion,
08:34switching up Tanaka again!
08:39Running up the moment!
08:42One, two, three!
08:44The world title is on the line.
08:47The stakes have never been higher,
08:49and the end is about to be up.
08:52Tanaka fighting for his life.
08:58Oh, my God!
09:00Oh, my God!
09:10Unbelievable!
09:13Come on!
09:15Two, three!
09:19The awesome world heavyweight champion
09:22got his left shoulder up!
09:25Awesome can't take much more!
09:29If Tanaka lands another major shot before Austin,
09:33Austin's done!
09:36And there it is, the roaring elbow!
09:41We've got a new champion!
09:43We've got a new champion!
09:45Masato Tanaka is the new ECW
09:50world heavyweight champion!
10:00Tanaka injured his elbow when Austin put him
10:04to the table on the outside!
10:06He knew he could only use the roaring elbow once,
10:10and he waited until he wore it down.
10:13The world heavyweight champion,
10:15he knew precisely when to use the roaring elbow.
10:19He did, and it paid off!
10:21Tanaka is the new king of extreme!
10:25Tanaka is the new king of extreme!
10:30And he hit Mike Awesome
10:32with a dose of Awesome's own medicine,
10:34an anarchy rule.
10:35Awesome slipped in the back door to take the title.
10:39Tonight, Tanaka was not even supposed to be in this match,
10:43and he comes in and takes the title away from Austin!
10:48Mike Awesome now extends the hand to Masato Tanaka.
10:55Another chapter has been written in the history
10:59of one of the greatest feuds
11:02that we have ever seen, not only in ECW,
11:06but in FMW as well,
11:09as Mike Awesome wraps the gold around the waist
11:13of the new ECW heavyweight champion of the world,
11:19Masato Tanaka.
11:23Awesome just closed Mike Tanaka!
11:27Awesome just nailed Tanaka!
11:30Oh, no!
11:32No!
11:34No!
11:53Awesome champion!
11:56Awesome champion!
11:58Awesome champion!
12:00Awesome champion!
12:02Awesome champion!
12:04I'm the champion.
12:06In America and Japan, I'm the champion.
12:09I'm going to take the top spot here
12:12and raise the value of this belt.
12:14Anyone can challenge me.
12:16I'm the ECW world heavyweight champion!
12:23Masato Tanaka is the new ECW world heavyweight champion,
12:27a history of the ECW world heavyweight championship,
12:30and all of the great athletes who have held the title
12:33available with video highlights right now
12:35at ecwwrestling.com.
12:38Come on, man! Come on!
12:44Nobody will ever bother you again, Steve.
12:50I promise you.
12:55It doesn't matter if it's Limp Bizkit,
12:58Dusty Rhodes, or Balls and Axle.
13:02No one upstages Steve Carino.
13:07Hey, Steve, did you see my wheelchair?
13:13I'll kill him.
13:16I'll kill him.
13:18I'll get him.
13:20I'll kill him.
13:22That happened earlier this evening
13:24while we were taping ECW on CNN.
13:27Axle Rotten is out of commission.
13:29Balls Mahoney down as well.
13:31Steve Carino obviously ordered the hit.
13:33Can anyone stop the Rookie Monster Rhino?
13:42Steve Carino still has the blood
13:45of Balls Mahoney on that wheelchair,
13:48and Rhino's still got it on his fist.
13:56Jack Victory brings up the rear in that wheelchair.
14:01Oh, my God, it's a miracle!
14:04Jack Victory can walk!
14:06It's a Christmas miracle!
14:10Axle Rotten and Balls Mahoney
14:15laid out in their locker room
14:18by Carino, Rhino, and Victory.
14:22You can bet Rhino did all of the dead
14:25with Carino and Victory.
14:40You see,
14:43each and every one of you should know by now
14:48that Steve Carino
14:51always gets the last laugh.
14:59A few weeks ago,
15:02a certain Axle Rotten
15:05and Balls Mahoney
15:07tried to ruin my fun
15:10at the Limp Bizkit concert.
15:17So,
15:19I had my monster
15:22do a little job for me.
15:28You see, we were scheduled
15:30to wrestle a tag team match
15:33against those boys
15:35against those hardcore
15:38chair-swinging freaks,
15:41but unfortunately,
15:43Balls and Axle will not be making it tonight.
15:48So, referee,
15:50ring that bell,
15:52count to ten,
15:53and raise the arms
15:55of the real heroes
15:57of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
16:05Carino wants Mike Keeter
16:07to declare them the winners by forfeit.
16:10A cheap victory
16:12for Steve Carino
16:14and Rhino here
16:16in the Municipal Auditorium
16:19in Nashville, Tennessee.
16:21Quickly, ref, I don't have all night.
16:24Keeter's up to five.
16:27And Carino can't believe it!
16:30It's Balls Mahoney!
16:33Balls Mahoney,
16:35he's on his feet just...
16:40Balls is hardcore!
16:43But Balls is a mess!
16:49Balls Mahoney can barely walk.
16:52Making his way to the ring, but...
16:57After the beating,
16:58he took at the hands of Rhino
17:00in that locker room.
17:02How can Balls Mahoney hope
17:05to compete against the tag team
17:07of Rhino and Carino,
17:09especially when Jack Victory
17:11is there as well?
17:13He's got no shot!
17:16He's got no shot!
17:19He's got no shot!
17:22Superman wouldn't have a shot!
17:28What's wrong with you, Balls?
17:33What's gonna make you understand
17:36that I'm the most powerful man
17:39in ECW?
17:41Oh, holy!
17:44Do you want a little sum of us?
17:47Us?
17:49All of us?
17:51All of us.
17:56Rhino,
17:58this ain't gonna be a tag team match.
18:01I'm gonna take this one on my own.
18:04No, no, no, Rhino.
18:05Why don't you go back
18:06and take one of those long showers
18:08that you're used to.
18:10I'll take this one.
18:14The courageous Steve Carino
18:17wants to go one-on-one
18:19with Balls Mahoney,
18:21whose brains are oozing
18:23out of his right ear.
18:24How brave of Steve Carino,
18:27who would never think
18:28of going one-on-one.
18:30And Rhino from behind
18:31hammers Balls Mahoney
18:33so Carino can start off
18:35this matchup
18:37like he didn't have
18:38a big enough advantage.
18:43Balls! Balls! Balls!
18:46The fans rallying
18:47behind Balls Mahoney.
18:51Balls! Balls! Balls!
18:54Balls! Balls! Balls!
18:57Balls! Balls! Balls!
18:59Balls! Balls! Balls!
19:04Carino takes down Mahoney
19:07before he can land the haymaker.
19:11But you've got to give it to Balls.
19:13He is aptly named.
19:16His have got to be
19:17the size of watermelons
19:20for even coming down
19:21to the ring in the condition
19:22he's in.
19:26Steve Carino, oh,
19:28so proud of himself.
19:31And there's Jack Fitby
19:32with a cheap shot.
19:36The fans again rallying
19:38behind the hardcore
19:39cheer-swinging freak
19:41Balls Mahoney.
19:42But how much can Mahoney
19:44have left in that body
19:46after he was gored
19:48nearly to death in the locker room
19:50by Carino's rookie
19:52Monster Rhino.
19:54Balls! Balls! Balls!
19:56Balls! Balls! Balls!
19:58Balls! Balls! Balls!
20:00Go behind by Carino.
20:03Takes Mahoney down.
20:06Cover.
20:09Balls kicks out
20:11and Carino can't believe it.
20:14He's questioning the count of
20:17referee Mike Keeter.
20:23Balls Mahoney glaring up
20:25at Steve Carino
20:27with hatred and blood in his eyes.
20:30Balls! Balls! Balls! Balls!
20:32Balls! Balls! Balls!
20:34Balls! Balls! Balls!
20:36He landed the haymaker that time.
20:39Carino goes down and hard.
20:43Carino sent for the ride.
20:45Steps the clothesline.
20:48Hits the super kick.
20:51And instead of going for the cover,
20:54chooses the hot dog for the crowd.
20:58Now standing over Mahoney
21:00instructs Jack Victory
21:02to hand him a table.
21:06Balls! Balls! Balls! Balls!
21:09Steve Carino and Jack Victory
21:11setting up that table in the corner.
21:14That does not bode well
21:16for an already battered, beaten
21:18and bloodied Balls Mahoney.
21:20Two tables!
21:22Two tables! Jack Victory
21:25now handing a second table
21:27to Steve Carino.
21:29Carino wants to put Mahoney
21:31through two tables.
21:33It appears they have taken out
21:35Axel Rotten.
21:36They have the same plan
21:38for his tag team partner
21:40Balls Mahoney.
21:47Here we go!
21:48Mahoney puts the brakes on.
21:51Time rush in late.
21:53Sweet, but Mahoney is up!
21:55Balls Mahoney is up!
21:57Balls Mahoney with the super kick
22:00on the point of the jaw of Carino.
22:03Right hand on Jack Victory.
22:12Balls has the steel chair!
22:14Balls has the steel chair!
22:17It's Rito!
22:18Rito's back in!
22:20Rito saves Steve Carino!
22:22Rito stopping Balls Mahoney!
22:28Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV

22:34The Sandman has seen enough
22:37of the assault on Balls Mahoney.

22:43the looking monster
22:45who has ruined the Sandman
22:47again and again
22:49here in ECW
22:52over the last two weeks.
22:59The original Hardcore icon
23:02for the 3 times
23:04ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World
23:08The Sandman
23:09getting closer and closer to the ring.
23:20Rito has his eyes focused
23:23squarely on the Sandman.
23:27Rito has said publicly
23:28I have no respect for you.
23:30I owe you nothing.
23:32I wasn't here when you were on top
23:35and quite frankly
23:36I don't care that you're back.
23:49Balls Mahoney down the corner!
23:54The Sandman treating everyone!
24:03But Rito's the one he really wants!
24:11Oh my!

24:14Rito!
24:15Rito!

24:44Cover!
24:46Cover!
24:57Balls Mahoney gets the win!
25:17Rito and Balls Mahoney now face to face
25:20I don't think Rito and Balls
25:22have had enough of each other!
25:28Balls has Rito in his sights!
25:32But he gets scored!
25:34Jack Victory took the chair
25:36for Balls Mahoney!
25:38And Rito scored it!
25:41Can anyone stop the Rookie Monster Rito?

26:09This isn't red!
26:10This isn't red!
26:11This isn't red!

26:30Yeah.
26:31Well, here's some new ones for him
26:33from our gift to him.
26:34Really?
26:35Well, you know what, Danny?

26:41A gift for me?
26:42See, uh, it's a bell.
26:44Yeah, I see it.
26:46And it's something that
26:47you will never ever hold in this company.
26:50Oh, yeah.
26:51And, Roca, why did I forget you, too, sweetie?
26:54Hold on.

27:09Chickens.
27:10Shh.
27:15Well, it seems that Roadkill, Danny Dorek, and Electra
27:19are playing Santa this year here at ETW.
27:23Francine threw that 36, see?
27:26Brought Roadkill.
27:28It might fit him.
27:29I think it's a little bit too small for Electra,
27:32which means a very merry Christmas for the Danaconda.

27:57and we put a lot of thought into this one.

30:05Nice side Russian leg sweep by Mikey Wiprec.
30:08Rob King will feed the face of Rob Van Dam.
30:13Van Dam may not be taking the World Television Title
30:16into the Pay-Per-View,
30:18and I don't think Samu can.
30:23Van Dam gave Mikey one foot
30:27and then gave him the other.
30:31Rob Van Dam may be the most amazing athlete
30:35we have ever seen
30:37in this great sport of professional wrestling
30:40and that covers a lot of ground.
30:49Rob is so athletic to get the cover.
30:51Gets it, too.
30:55Rob had better not take Mikey Wiprec lightly.
30:58No one thought that Mikey Wiprec
31:00would beat Steve Austin, and he did.
31:02No one thought Mikey would win the World Television Title,
31:05and he did.
31:08Rob Van Dam had better know his ECW history.
31:13Mikey Wiprec is not just another one
31:16on the seemingly endless list of challengers
31:20who have been unsuccessful
31:23in defeating Rob Van Dam.
31:27Mikey hits the Steve Austin,
31:29and Rob Van Dam takes the title.
31:32In defeating Rob Van Dam,
31:35Mikey hits the steel guardrail and hauls it.

31:47the most popular wrestler in the history of ECW.

34:17and now gets rocked!

34:47Mikey Wiprec busts forward,
34:50Mikey Wiprec busts forward,

35:58Mikey Wiprec now with the advantage,
36:01lands a guillotine leg drop of his own cover
36:04and gets a two on Rob Van Dam.
36:12Van Dam's eyes looking a little glazed over
36:15as Mikey took control of this matchup during the break.
36:18Reversal into the corner goes Mikey Wiprec,
36:21gets the boot up, up to the second turnbuckle.
36:26Flying hooded con rata and another cover!
36:29One!
36:31Two and a half!
36:32Two and a half says referee John Kiwi Moore.
36:41Mikey Wiprec has the steel chair.
36:46Van Dam still not looking very well in the corner.
36:52Mikey with a shot to the ribs now,
36:55hammering away on Van Dam.
36:57Out of the corner comes the world television champion Mikey now.
37:01Going for a monkey flip, got caught.
37:04Right hand by Van Dam.
37:06Mikey kicks off the world television champion.
37:11But does he move past it all?
37:14Where on earth did that kick come from?
37:22Mikey Wiprec never saw that kick coming.
37:26The challenger is back down on the floor
37:30here in the Storick Municipal Auditorium
37:33in Nashville, Tennessee.
37:38Mikey now thrown back in by Rob Van Dam.
37:44Van Dam up and over stomps Mikey.
37:49Cinches up the challenger.

38:01cinching up Mikey for what may be a superplex.
38:08Mikey shoves Van Dam up!
38:10Rob Van Dam lands on the steel chair with the small of his back.
38:14The champion may be in trouble.

38:19Tornado DDT on the steel chair,
38:22covered by Mikey.
38:25But gets only a two count.
38:27Rob Van Dam gets the left shoulder up off the canvas.
38:32Mikey Wiprec has got to be thinking to himself,
38:35what will it take to be the first man
38:38to beat Rob Van Dam in 20 months?
38:41To be the man to take the world television title
38:44away from Mr. Pay-Per-View, Rob Van Dam.
38:48Mikey going for the pile climber.
38:50Van Dam takes him over, Mikey hangs on.
38:53Gets hit on another two count.
38:55Stuck in the clothesline.
38:57Thrown behind by Mikey, waist lock.
39:01Oh my God, German suplex on the steel chairs.
39:05Mikey sits on Van Dam.
39:08Great thinking by Mikey Wiprec.
39:10What a cover.
39:11Just sat down on Rob Van Dam.
39:14Using all of his 187 pounds for his advantage.
39:18Still not enough.
39:21And Jerry Lynn now from the back,
39:23watching the matchup.
39:24I've always said Jerry Lynn would be the one
39:26to throw Rob Van Dam cover.
39:29But Mikey Wiprec may be well on his way
39:31to doing it here in Nashville.
39:33And that cannot sit well with Jerry Lynn.
39:38Other wrestlers now coming from the locker room
39:40to watch what may be a historic matchup
39:42here in Nashville, Tennessee.
39:45Mikey Wiprec going up top.
39:47Van Dam on top of three steel chairs.
39:52Mikey misses the somersault sometimes.
39:55No water in the pool.
39:57Can Van Dam capitalize?
39:59That may have been the opening
40:00the world television champion was looking for.
40:03Can he take over?
40:08Mikey charges.
40:10And gets back-dropped on the head
40:12of the ECW locker room.
40:14And now it's Tracy Smothers
40:16and Wildfire Tommy Rich
40:18attacking the world television champion.
40:21Van Dam defeated Tracy Smothers
40:23just a couple of weeks ago
40:25here on ECW television.
40:28And now Smothers and Rich
40:30are looking for some paybacks.
40:32The lights have gone out.
40:35It's Sabu.
40:36Sabu!
40:37Sabu is here!
40:39Sabu nails Smothers and Rich
40:41with steel chairs.
40:43Oh, but no breaking the ring.
40:45And the steel going round on the table.
40:47But for whom?
40:49Who is he with?
40:50Sabu or Rob Van Dam?
40:54And now Sabu nails Van Dam
40:56with a back of the neck to that steel chair.
40:59Arabian Facebuster as well.
41:07Rob Van Dam has taken a beating
41:10from Mikey Winfrey.

41:14And now Sabu,
41:16who he will face in guilty as charged
41:18live on pay-per-view Sunday night,
41:20January 9th.
41:21Sabu is left.
41:23Oh, no!
41:26Sabu has driven the world television champion
41:30Rob Van Dam through the table.
41:37I don't think Sabu cares about the world television title.
41:40He just wants to destroy Rob Van Dam
41:43because essentially he may have just awarded
41:46the world television title.
41:48He just wants to destroy Rob Van Dam.
41:51Essentially, he may have just awarded
41:53the world television title
41:55to Mikey Winfrey

42:00This match-up is still in progress.
42:03Van Dam now rolled in by Smothers and Rich.
42:06Van Dam has no idea what hit him.

42:13That should be all.
42:14Cover!
42:17Rob Van Dam kicks out.
42:19Mikey Winfrey gets stuck.
42:21He can't believe it.
42:22He is in disbelief.
42:24Rob Van Dam just kicked out of the Whippersnapper.
42:32Mikey still on the attack,
42:34still on the offensive.
42:35Will he reach up and grab the last ring
42:37here in Nashville?
42:39Mikey now.
42:41He's looking for the top turnbuckle Whippersnapper.
42:43If he insists, it's over.
42:46Van Dam shoves Mikey Winfrey off.

44:19your daddy put a cap in her ass.
44:23She sure tastes sweet right now.
44:28I tell you what,
44:29she must be sitting there all alone.
44:33That is, of course,
44:35unless you're putting it to her.
44:39Yo, Papa,
44:41why don't you just turn that mommy to us?
44:44If you do,
44:45we might let things slide.
44:48If not,
44:49we're just gonna have to take her.
44:52No, man.
44:53You can't rape the woman.
44:56You're right, Papa.
44:57Bling, bling.
44:59Yo, Jack,
45:00just remember,
45:02your reputation
45:04belongs to
45:05the baldies.
45:09Hey, Rhino!
