00:00He is, without question, the most popular and gifted athlete in ECW history.
00:13He is the longest reigning world champion in professional wrestling today.
00:19He has been the ECW World Television Champion, undisputed and uninterrupted, for almost 23
00:30months.
00:31But now, Mr. Pay-Per-View, Rob Van Dam, has been sidelined with a broken leg, tonight,
00:41exclusively on ECW Hardcore TV.
00:47Information on the World Television Champion, Mr. Pay-Per-View, Rob Van Dam's very first
00:57public appearance since being sidelined, tonight, on Hardcore TV.
03:11This is Extreme.
03:33Hello everyone and welcome to ECW Hardcore TV, I'm Joey Styles, we are in Jacksonville,
03:39Florida, and earlier today, The Baldies attacked New Jack, who is in the back, receiving medical
03:44attention.
03:45Falls Mahoney will now go it alone.
03:46The Baldies grimes the muscle, followed by The Kingpin, and the man, who now can call
03:57himself, The King of the Streets, by way of his victories over New Jack, despite the fact
04:05that it was three on one.
04:07The Street Gang now making their way to the ring, with New Jack out of the equation, Falls
04:13Mahoney did have the option of taking on either Grimes or Angel, and the native of Nutley,
04:21New Jersey, chose a handicap match, much like New Jack has done, time and time again.
04:29However, I do not think Falls Mahoney has learned from the mistakes made by New Jack,
04:35recently here at Extreme Championship Wrestling, because despite the fact that New Jack gave
04:41it his best, and manages to bloody one, two, or all three of The Baldies, no one man can
04:48beat all three members of this New York Street Gang.
04:52Now granted, DeVito is out getting surgery on his hand, thanks to New Jack, an injury
04:58that happened, well, an attack that happened, back in White Plains, New York, during the
05:03holidays, a little Christmas bonus for DeVito, there are still two Baldies, and now only
05:11one Falls Mahoney, after the attack on New Jack earlier this evening in Jacksonville.
05:19So after this very short commercial break, when we return, we are going to see a handicap
05:25matchup, Falls Mahoney will take on two of The Baldies, The Muscle Grimes, and The King
05:33Pin Angel.
05:35Does Falls Mahoney have any idea what he's about to get into?
05:43Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV, as Falls Mahoney makes his way to the ring for this
05:52handicap matchup against Angel and Grimes of The Baldies.
06:03You'd have to have quite a pair on you, to want to take on two of The Baldies.
06:24And there he is, all three, 150 pounds of him.
06:33You know what, I'm sick of listening to you two flap your f***ing jaw, New Jack, right
06:51now, is not in a hospital, he's right back there.
06:58He wouldn't go to the hospital.
07:03New Jack, New Jack, New Jack.
07:08He's limping around back there though, but the reason he's not coming out here, and
07:16because of the surgery on his foot, is because ECW won't allow it.
07:19So, see, so we have a problem, and it's your problem, it's not you got to deal with me.
07:33Bulls Mahoney made his intentions very clear.
07:38Down goes Grimes.
07:41Down goes the Kingpin.
07:44It's like a 7-10 split.
07:46But the bold is too much for
07:50a Bulls Mahoney at the Pizza Cutter.
07:57My God.
08:11Bulls Mahoney's flesh has been sliced by a Pizza Cutter.
08:16And Grimes continues to slice away at Mahoney's flesh.
08:21Grimes the muscle of the Bulls, he's now hammering away.
08:31It's Masato Tanaka, it's Tanaka.
08:41Tanaka taking the fight to the Boldy.
08:53Remember, Tanaka and Bulls form a World Tag Team Champions.
08:59Belly to belly suplex.
09:03Tanaka, Bulls, Tanaka, Bulls, Tanaka, Bulls,
09:08Bulls, Tanaka, Bulls, Tanaka, Bulls.
09:15Get a little carried away, and I'm not gonna apologize for it either.
09:19Double clothesline, Grimes to the outside, all the way to the floor.
09:26Bulls Mahoney has found an ally.
09:29Tanaka was getting ready for the Pescado.
09:32It was nailed to the back of the neck by Angel.
09:38Angel gets dumped on the back of his head.
09:42Tanaka taking the fight to Angel.
09:48Grimes misses.
09:50Sterner first into the guardrail.
09:52Tanaka misses.
09:53He eats the turnbuckle.
10:00Irish whip back the other way.
10:02Tanaka gets the boot up into the face of Angel.
10:07He hooks Angel.
10:11Beautiful tornado ditty team.
10:14Spikes Angel on his head.
10:19Tanaka and Angel to the outside.
10:23Bulls assaults Grimes with a beverage.
10:26The first beer Bulls passed on this year.
10:35Chair to the head.
10:40Straight right hand to the chops of Grimes.
10:44Angel's in trouble.
10:46Reversal.
10:49Just squashes Bulls in the corner.
10:57My God.
11:01Talk with a smile on his face, enjoying himself.
11:07Bulls now lay motionless on the canvas as the 400 pound Grimes is ascending the turnbuckles.
11:15It's New Jack.
11:16New Jack has slipped to the ring.
11:19Swing a damn fine chair though.
11:26Roaring elbow.
11:27Cover.
11:28It's over.
11:38For once, the Holdies found themselves at a disadvantage.
11:43It was three on two.
11:45And the chair made four.
11:47The Holdies go down in defeat.
11:50New Jack using a chair wrapped in barbed wire.

14:59It is now time for one of the greatest feuds in ECW history

15:06That super crazy defeated Yoshihiro Tajiri
15:10in a Mexican death match in Philadelphia
15:14at the world infamous ECW Arena.
15:18So tonight, Tajiri has challenged Crazy
15:22to a Japanese death match here in Jacksonville.
15:26The difference between the two matches?
15:29Damned if I know. I just want to see the match again.
15:34Ladies and gentlemen, this next contest
15:37is scheduled for one fall with no time limit.
15:40And it will be a special Japanese death match.
15:51And Crazy's not waiting.
15:55Springboard missile drum kick!
16:01What a rivalry these two have had
16:04for 13 months here at Extreme Champion Chip Wrestling
16:08as Tajiri brings Crazy's early momentum
16:12to a screeching halt by attacking the left knee.
16:16Great strategy by Tajiri.
16:19If you can ground Super Crazy by taking out a leg
16:24you've taken out 80% of his offense
16:27and again Tajiri one step ahead of the Insane Luchador
16:31who comes back for more and gets it behind the ear.
16:43Lethal buzzsaw-like kicks from Tajiri.
16:54Tajiri now with steel chairs in the ring.
17:02He has opened one up.
17:08And Super Crazy just holding himself up after that.
17:14Are you kidding me?!
17:17Tajiri just attempted to make the back of that chair
17:20a permanent part of Crazy's anatomy.
17:26And again the Japanese buzzsaw is dissecting
17:30his Mexican adversary with well-placed kicks.
17:38Face first into the top turnbuckle goes Super Crazy.
17:42Crazy now tied to the tree of woe.
17:48Steel chair to the face!
17:51Two steel chairs to the face!
18:02Oh no.
18:05Tajiri is looking to finish this match
18:09Tajiri is looking to finish this matchup quickly.
18:24Buenas noches Super Crazy!
18:28Insane Luchador! Insane Luchador!
18:34Three steel chairs driven into the face of Super Crazy
18:39who can only roll to the outside.
18:50Tajiri going after yet another chair.
18:54They got two more.
18:57The more the messier.
19:01And to no one's surprise Super Crazy busted open
19:05in this Japanese death match.
19:16And Tajiri cinches on the tarantula!
19:25Tajiri meticulous in his attack
19:28just picking Super Crazy apart.
19:38Oh my God! Tajiri is digging his fingers!
19:43Oh come on!
19:46Sadistic smile on the face of Yoshihiro Tajiri.
19:55Oh my God!
20:00Just dragging Crazy around the ring.
20:03Crazy's blood on Tajiri's torso.
20:06Tajiri likes it.
20:13Tajiri now biting into the forehead of Super Crazy.
20:20Tajiri is toying with Super Crazy
20:24like a sick Japanese cat would do to a Mexican ball of yarn.
20:33Crazy wisely using his tights to wipe the blood from his eyes
20:39only to take a kick to the face.
20:44Try blocking that kick with his hand, a man close to the finger.
20:54Reversal on the Irish whip.
20:57Not a 30 yard field goal.
20:59Crazy comes back with a clothesline.
21:04Series of stomps to the chest.
21:07A blood moonsault at landing.
21:13Tajiri gets folded up.
21:15Crazy now looking to take the fight to Tajiri.
21:24Super Crazy setting up that table at ringside.
21:41Tajiri laying out on the timekeeper's table.
21:46Crazy now back in the ring.
21:48And he is ascending the turnbuckle.
21:53What a leg drop!
22:17Welcome back to ECW Hardcore TV.
22:20You are watching a Japanese death match
22:23between Yoshihiro Tajiri and Super Crazy from Jacksonville, Florida.
22:32And what in the hell is Crazy thinking?
22:43Got a whole mess of steel chairs in the ring.
22:511, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50.
22:58A bilingual 10 count rings out here in Jacksonville.
23:05As Crazy switch the momentum in this matchup with that...
23:12Never mind, handspring elbow.
23:14The green mist! The green mist!
23:20Brainbuster!
23:26And a lacerated Tajiri goes to the outside.
23:36And the Japanese buzzsaw is going to interject yet another table into this matchup.
23:42And the Japanese buzzsaw is going to interject yet another table into this matchup.
23:47Super Crazy dumped on his face right into those steel chairs.
23:54Tajiri now seeing his own blood.
23:57Tasting his own blood.
24:00He even knows what's going through his mind.
24:05That'd be a book I'd like to read.
24:08Crazy just walked into a right hand.
24:15This certainly looks interesting. Tajiri standing on that table in the corner.
24:26Super Crazy now trying to climb the turnbuckles.
24:29Gets about halfway up.
24:31Splitting through.
24:34Splitting through.
24:36Tajiri up and over the table.
24:39Crazy with a missile dropkick manages to sail over the table as well.
24:44Clothesline floors Tajiri.
24:47And now Crazy wants to use the table.
24:55Tajiri again finds himself laid out on that table.
24:59Last time it was outside the ring it was a leg drop.
25:04This time Crazy's looking for the moonsault.
25:08Will he hit it?
25:11Yes he does!
25:13Cover!
25:15No! Tajiri kicks out.
25:19Referee Mike Keener says two count only.
25:33And Super Crazy wants to use yet another table.
25:37He has put Tajiri through two of them thus far.
25:40And still has been unable to put away the Japanese buzzsaw in this Japanese deathmatch.
25:47Tajiri having to be pulled up to his feet by Super Crazy.
25:53Nice reversal of the sit-down powerbomb into a DDT.
25:58Tajiri now with two handfuls of steel chairs.
26:07Heads up Crazy and flanks him.
26:10And he's got it!
26:12And he's got it!
26:14And he's got it!
26:16And he's got it!
26:18And he's got it!
26:20And he's got it!
26:22And he's got it!
26:24And he's got it!
26:25Heads up Crazy and flanks him.
26:31Steel chair.
26:34Making it to Super Crazy being buried underneath the steel chair.
26:47What in the hell is Tajiri thinking?
26:51There's at least a dozen steel chairs on Super Crazy.
26:56And now the table?
27:05And now the table?
27:16Tajiri says this is it!
27:25And now the table?
27:31In my six years with Extreme Championship Wrestling,
27:35I have never seen a move like this!
27:38What the hell do you call this?
27:40I'm not gonna ask him.
27:55ECW World TV Title Defense against Steve Carino's Hench Beast, Rhino.
28:02But now we have learned that Rob Van Dam has confirmed
28:07he will be making his first public appearance
28:11since suffering the broken leg this coming Tuesday.
28:16How long will Rob Van Dam be out of action?
28:19What will become of the ECW World Television Championship?
28:23These questions and others will be answered this Tuesday
28:28when Rob Van Dam makes his very first public appearance
28:34since suffering a broken leg.
28:41Coming up in just a minute,
28:43the return to the ring for the first time here on ECW Hardcore TV
28:47of the American Dream Dusty Rhodes
28:49as he and Tommy Dreamer take on Mr. Old School Steve Carino
28:54and Jack Victory in a tag team Jacksonville Street Fight.
28:58But one thing I want to address,
29:00a lot of rumors have been floating around
29:03about ECW and WCW involved in a suicidal, homicidal,
29:09genocidal, death-defying legal battle.
29:13That's right, the small independent Extreme Championship Wrestling
29:17and the huge WCW.
29:19A subsidiary of Turner Broadcast,
29:22a subsidiary of Time Warner,
29:24soon to be part of AOL Time Warner.
29:26This is a legal battle that you can hear about
29:29presented from all sides objectively
29:32right now at 900 Run for ECW.
29:35This is not the first time that ECW owner Paul Heyman
29:38has been in a legal battle with WCW
29:41and it won't be the last.
29:43But this is the bloodiest hear about it
29:45now on the Hardcore Hotline.
29:50Gertner?
29:53Is that on Hardcore TV?
29:56That TNN taping is tomorrow night in Tallahassee.
30:01Joel Gertner is not on my format.
30:05Paul? Paulie?
30:08Paulie here yet?
30:10The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
30:15is your main event
30:16and is a Jacksonville street fight.
30:21But first,
30:23it is I,
30:25the quintessential stud muffin,
30:27Joel.
30:29All you ladies from Jacksonville
30:32love the Florida Gators.
30:34All you ladies from Jacksonville
30:37are big-time mast*****.
30:42But I love going down
30:44to the Sunshine State
30:47so I can aim it in your face
30:50and...
30:56Gertner.
30:58And this is your Jacksonville
31:01street fight!
31:04I doubt more than five words
31:06of what just came out of that disgusting mouth of his
31:09will make it on TV.
31:15Woo!
31:23Mr. Old School himself, Steve Carino,
31:27and Jack Victory
31:29making their way to the ring.
31:32What a miraculous recovery
31:34Jack Victory made from that broken leg.
31:37I mean, hell, he was only in a wheelchair for what?
31:4013, 14 months?
31:42Nothing short of a miracle.
31:55It was Steve Carino and Rhino
31:58who went down to defeat
32:00against the team of the American Dream,
32:03Dusty Rhodes and Tommy Dreamer
32:05in Fort Lauderdale.
32:08It was the fly on a hill move
32:10that led to Steve Carino's shoulders
32:13being pinned to the mat.
32:15Tonight, Carino tries it again,
32:18this time with Jack Victory.
32:25Last time, the game plan was simple.
32:28Tommy Dreamer just kept Rhino occupied.
32:32Of course, that meant take defeating,
32:34but nevertheless,
32:36Dusty Rhodes needed to isolate Carino.
32:39Team number one
32:41from the pages of wrestling history
32:44at a combined weight of 531 pounds,
32:50they are the Old School Heroes,
32:54Jack Victory and Steve Carino!
33:01What the hell is Gertner wearing?
33:04He didn't cut those pants, they split.
33:08Joel, I understand that you're a real big fan
33:13of the Old School Heroes, Steve Carino.
33:17Suck up.
33:19But I'd like to tell you, Joel,
33:21that I think your act is completely pathetic.
33:27Being a fan of Cyrus
33:29I think you're lame,
33:32and I think your big rear end
33:34shouldn't even be on TNN.
33:47Joel Gertner sucking up
33:49did him no good tonight.
33:51In Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
33:53in Fort Lauderdale, Florida,
33:58I suffered the worst humiliation
34:02in my entire life.
34:10I'll admit,
34:13the 162-year-old Dusty Rhodes
34:18beat my rear end.
34:24But tonight,
34:26in front of all of you,
34:29I'm gonna get some revenge.
34:32Dreamer, Rhodes,
34:34get your ass out here!
34:43Steve Carino was beaten white
34:47by the American Dream Dusty Rhodes
34:51at the Sold Out War Memorial
34:54in Fort Lauderdale.
34:57And here tonight,
34:59in front of another sold out,
35:01turnaway crowded...
35:04Where are we?
35:06Oh yeah, Jacksonville!
35:08Carino wants another piece of the Dream.
35:15The queen of extreme,
35:16getting the innovator of violence,
35:18Tommy Dreamer,
35:20and the American Dream Dusty Rhodes
35:22to the ring.
35:35Here we go!
35:37This Jacksonville Tag Team Street Fight is on!
35:40And right away, Dusty goes to the bionic elbow.
35:44Dreamer goes out after Carino.
35:47Dusty Rhodes goes out after Jack Victory.
35:54Face first into the step goes Victory.
36:05And Dreamer is out!
36:07And the winner of this match
36:09is the American Dream Dusty Rhodes!
36:12And Dreamer is parting the crowd
36:15with Carino in tow!
36:27Now Carino trying to retreat from Dreamer.
36:32Takes a chair across the back.
36:42Dusty Rhodes still reigning,
36:45right hands on top of Jack Victory,
36:47now dragging him
36:49to the other end of the building.
36:53Face first into the steel door and rings.
37:05Dreamer still headed towards the back of the building.
37:12Carino hits the wall!
37:21Trash can down across the back of Carino!
37:35And Dreamer is out!
37:37And Dreamer is out!
37:38Dreamer is out!
37:40Dreamer is out!
37:42Dreamer is out!
37:44Carino falls to the floor with a sickening thud.
37:50And back that way says Tommy Dreamer!
37:57Meanwhile the American Dream
37:59is methodically and meticulously
38:03beating the living hell out of Jack Victory.
38:08Now they've gone over the guardrail as well!
38:31Dreamer and Carino now back at ringside.
38:39As is Dusty Rhodes.
38:42Dusty now hammers Carino!
38:47A bloody Jack Victory can barely get to his feet at ringside.
38:55And Carino not fearing much better than he did
38:58in Fort Lauderdale against the Dream.
39:01Dreamer setting up that ladder and full blow by Dusty Rhodes!
39:10Tommy Dreamer hammering Jack Victory with right hands!
39:15Now biting into the lacerated forehead of Victory!
39:18Jack Victory whipped into the ladder!
39:27And again the Dream sets his sights on Jack Victory!
39:35And again the Dream sets his sights on Jack Victory!
39:42And again the Dream sets his sights on Jack Victory!
39:48on Steve Corrino.
39:54Dreamer says, please, Dusty, let me have him.
39:58Corrino has been a thorn in the side of Tommy Dreamer.
40:01Reversal!
40:03Dreamer hits the ladder.
40:05Super kick by Steve Corrino.
40:14Corrino feeling pretty good about himself right now,
40:17as he goes after the ladder.
40:18Dusty, Dusty, Dusty, Dusty, Dusty.
