Paul Heyman opened the show with some big announcements. Next week, the ECW tag team title tournament will begin. The championship match will be a Three-Way Dance and take place at ECW Hardcore Heaven! Also, you will see many of the ECW wrestlers in Puerto Rico this Monday as that new promotion opens its doors for their first show.

SAM HAYNE def. SAVAGE-T

Savage-T is still in search of his first win in ECW, but continues to put up a good fight everytime out. He tried his best, using the top rope and fighting on the floor, but Hayne finally slowed him down and used Hell's Flames to beat him.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. DUPAE RUPA

Claudio took after taking Rupa to the outside, and the Ricola Bomb ended the match.

ADAM PEARCE def. HARKER DIRGE

Another good match as Dirge kept the momentum for most of the contest. Larry Sweeney came down to ringside and he tripped Dirge in the corner, allowing Pearce to get the pin. From the back came Brent Albright and after a beatdown on Dirge, Sweeney his members in Sweet & Sour Inc.

ARIK CANNON def. NECRO BUTCHER

ECW was well represented this week in the NWA world Jr. title tournament, and Cannon was one that gave a good showing. Necro Butcher didn't care and battered Cannon for most of the match with the Asiatic Spike. Cannon found an opening and the Glimmering Warlock put Necro down.

TIMBER def. DRAKE YOUNGER

Timber didn't need much time at all to use the Log Splitter for the win. Cannon came back out, then so did Necro Butcher and all four fought their way to the locker room.

RICKY LANDELL def. JD MICHAELS

Two more in the Jr. tourny, and Michaels was great as he reached the semifinals. Landell didn't care though, and Michaels was in a lot of trouble when April Hunter appeared out of nowhere to distract Landell. The distraction didn't last long though and Landell went on to win.

SANDMAN def. LARRY SWEENEY by D.Q.

Sweeney said you won't be seeing him in the ring much as he will be managing Albright and Pearce. He turned in a strong match though, and his newest charges came out to triple team the Sandman.

OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. IMPACT PLAYERS by D.Q.

A lot of great back and forth action, but these four couldn't keep it in the ring. Baker and Credible were in the title match last week and kept up their fight here. Baker hit the Heart Punch, and Candido threw the referee out of the ring and to the floor.

BRUISER BRODY/DELIRIOUS fought SHEIK/SABU to a Double D.Q.

An awesome war between Brody and the Sheik continued here. The Sheik threw the flame in the face of Brody very early in the match, and Sabu hit the Triple Jump Moonsault. Delirious, who went to the finals in the Jr. tourny, came in and cleaned house. Things broke down though and all four battled around the building. The match was thrown out, then the crowd exploded again when Superfly Jimmy Snuka showed up and attacked Brody. The former World champion has not been seen since the Hell in a Cell match against Brody.

SUPER FRIENDS def. STEVE CORINO/DANNY DORING

Hero and Quackenbush wrestled a great match against another team that will be in the tournament. The Hero's Welcome on Doring finally put an end to an outstanding main event.

Next week on Hardcore TV, the ECW Tag Team Title Tournament kicks off.

Brent Albright/Adam Pearce vs. Samoan Island Tribe
The Mongols vs. Super Friends
Heartbreak Express vs. Backseat Boys
Impact Players vs. Tyler Black/Jimmy Jacobs
Naptown Dragons vs. Young Bucks

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
DUPAE RUPA def. SAVAGE-T and HARKER DIRGE

A great opening match with loads of back and forth action. Dirge was good this week in WWC in the Steel Cage Battle Royal. He sustained most of the offense in this one, but a Belgian Waffle on Savage-T gave Rupa the win.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. SANDMAN

The Sandman put up an awesome fight, and was also in the WWC hardcore battle royal. Castagnoli was impressive in controlling this one nearly all the way. Sandman never gave up and kicked out of two Ricola Bombs, but Castagnoli got the pin after a big knee off the ropes.
(Sandman pin 9

JD MICHAELS def. RICKY LANDELL

A rematch from last week where Landell won despite the first appearance and interference of April Hunter. Big Red was again at ringside, and Landell dominated the match. Hunter did her part to help her man, and JD pulled out a tough win with a huracanrana.

NECRO BUTCHER/DRAKE YOUNGER def. ARIK CANNON/TIMBER

These four have developed a nice rivalry here in the early goings of ECW. All four were in WWC for the battle royal, and Cannon did eliminate Younger in that one. This match was pretty even and Necro pinned Cannon with a Tiger Driver.

SABU def. DELIRIOUS

This one was over in record time, and only served to get the main event started. Sabu grabbed a fast win with a huracanrana on a stunned Delirious. The Sheik came out to double team, then Bruiser Brody stormed into the ring, followed by Superfly Jimmy Snuka!

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
JIMMY SNUKA def. THE SHEIK and BRUISER BRODY

They rang the bell for an awesome battle between three all-time superstars. All were in WWC where Brody advanced in the Universal title tournament, while Snuka and the Sheik were both upset. All three then entered the steel cage battle royal, where Snuka was the last man eliminated by Ivan Koloff.

It was an all-out battle from start to finish, each man hammering both of the other two. Snuka came away the winner with the Superfly Leap on the Sheik.

ECW TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT
FIRST ROUND

BRENT ALBRIGHT/ADAM PEARCE def. SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE

Larry Sweeney led Albright and Pearce to the ring, and from there it was a tremendous fight with Samu and Alofa. Sweeney's men started out good, then the Samoans, without Lou Albano, took control and pretty much dominated the match after that. The 20 minute time limit expired, but the fans wanted five more minutes and Paul E. Dangerously gave it to them. Pearce pulled out the win for his team after coming off the top rope on Samu.

SUPER FRIENDS def. THE MONGOLS

Sir Oliver Humperdink and the Mongols didn't last very long. Hero and Quackenbush worked well together and the Quackendriver beat Bepo.

BACKSEAT BOYS def. HEARTBREAK EXPRESS

A real fast one. Sean Davis missed a big elbow and the Yakuza kick by Trent Acid put him away.

IMPACT PLAYERS def. TYLER BLACK/JIMMY JACOBS

Credible and Candido came out the winners, but a serious grudge was started in this one. Early on Jacobs smashed Credible with the spike, busting him wide open. Things really got intense after that. Black hit the Phoenix Splash, but Candido turned the match around and the Blond Bomb beat Black.

YOUNG BUCKS def. NAPTOWN DRAGONS

The Jackson brothers put Scotty Vortekz away in a hurry with the More Bang For Your Buck.

OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. STEVE CORINO/DANNY DORING

The match went back and forth for awhile, but Baker and the Turk were too big and strong this time around. The Heart Punch put Doring down for the three.

Next week on ECW Hardcore TV, the semifinals:
Brent Albright/Adam Pearce vs. The Super Friends
Backseat Boys vs. Impact Players
Young Bucks vs. Ox Baker/Terrible Turk

Aug. 19, 2118

EDDIE KINGSTON def. DANNY DORING

The debut for Kingston and he worked a long match, but stayed on top most of the way. A backfist nailed Doring for the pin.

ERICK STEVENS def. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI by C.O.

An excellent first match for Stevens as well. He turned vicious out of nowhere on the outside, then Castagnoli was jumped by members of Sweet & Sour Inc., causing him to be counted out. Stevens appeared to not appreciate the help he had just received.

STEVE CORINO def. DUPAE RUPA

Rupa showed some offense at the start but Corino got things going. It took the Old School Expulsion twice to get the three count.

CHUCK TAYLOR def. JD MICHAELS

A real intense, fast paced match with both men looking real good. April Hunter tried to help Taylor but Taylor dropkicked her, and scored the pin on Michaels. From out of nowhere Jazz strormed into the ring and tore into Hunter, with Ricky Landell racing out to fight Michaels.

RICKY LANDELL def. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK

The fans really like Ultramantis Black as he never quit fighting despite taking a massive beating. Landell had to come off the top twice before the Fisherman Buster for the pin.

TIMBER def. DRAKE YOUNGER

Timber turned the tide by sending Younger thru a table, and then using the Log Splitter three times before taking the pin. Arik Cannon and Necro Butcher both came out to start a big brawl before their match.

ARIK CANNON def. NECRO BUTCHER

Another great brawl with the Butcher using a table and the Asiatic Spike. Cannon took a lot of punishment but still won with the Glimmering Warlock.

SANDMAN def. SAM HAYNE by D.Q.

A rare disqualification after Hayne used the Hell's Flames on the Sandman, and also caught the referee with some of the fire.

SABU def. DELIRIOUS

A rematch after last week's real fast pin for Sabu. This time it was a spectacular display of death-defying moves. Delirious ended up on the receiving end of most of the damage. Sabu then won with the Camel Clutch.

ECW TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT SEMIFINALS

BRENT ALBRIGHT/ADAM PEARCE def. SUPER FRIENDS by C.O.

A backstabbing took place here as Chris Hero walked away, leaving Mike Quackenbush by himself. Hero was the legal man and the countout gave Sweet & Sour Inc. the win. Albright and Pearce then jumped Quackenbush, but Erick Stevens ran in to help. That brought Hero back into the ring, and then Castagnoli made it a three on three battle.

BACKSEAT BOYS def. IMPACT PLAYERS by D.Q.

Justin Credible decided to just blast anybody he could, both Kashmere and Acid, and the referee which cause the bell to ring. The Impact Players said it didn't matter they just put the Backseat Boys into the finals because there was no way those two scum balls can hang in ECW, or win the belts.

OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. YOUNG BUCKS

The huge power advantage was all Baker and the Turk needed in this one. The Heart Punch sent Nick Jackson down for the pin.

Next week, on payper view, from the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, is ECW Hardcore Heaven!!!

DAIZEE HAZE def. SARA DEL REY by C.O.

The preshow to ECW Hardcore Heaven opened with the singles debuts of both talented ladies. A tremendous rivalry was born in this one as Del Rey dominated most of the action. Haze never stopped fighting, but couldn't keep up the attack. The two went at it in and out of the ring. Haze hit Del Rey with a dive over the top rope, and beat her back in the ring to win by count out. Larry Sweeney came out to help Del Rey, which brought Claudio Castagnoli out to watch the back of Haze.

SAM HAYNE/HARKER DIRGE def. SAVAGE-T/DUPAE RUPA

Eddie Fyne sent his men charging into the ring. They took out the Belgian Brawler, then double teamed Savage-T and took an easy pin.

NWA WORLD JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
JD MICHAELS def. JUSHIN THUNDER LIGER (ch)

A stunning upset to kick off the payper view. JD Michaels continues to wrestle at the top of his game, and Liger had his share of offense but couldn't finish him off. Liger planted JD with the Fisherman's Buster, but April Hunter broke up the count. Michaels stunned Liger coming off the ropes, and used a handful of tights to grab the three count and win the World Jr. heavyweight title!

Jazz raced down and jumped on April Hunter, and the bell rang.

JAZZ def. APRIL HUNTER

A really stiff, hard-hitting fight between these two. April withstood the STF once, but Jazz came back later to apply it again to take the win.

BRODIE LEE def. FRITZ VON GOERING

These two have been working in Puerto Rico for WWC, as have many other ECW wrestlers. Sir Oliver Humperdink was unable to help his man as Brodie Lee was relentless. Lee blasted Von Goering with another big boot to win the match.

THE MONGOLS def. THE SAMOAN ISLAND TRIBE

Captain Lou Albano made his first ever appearance in ECW with his Samoans, while Humperdink brought out the Mongols. These four wild men battled tooth and nail. The Mongols maintained the advantage most of the time, but the Samaons always came back. The Mongols but a hurting on Samu and Alofa with their chains. The Samoans even took the Mongolian Drop, but a double clothesline in the corner finished off Samu.

CHUCK TAYLOR def. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK

Two more cruiserweights took centerstage and spent nearly the whole bout coming off the top rope. Taylor won after a second Awful Waffle on UMB.

HEARTBREAK EXPRESS def. NAPTOWN DRAGONS by D.Q.

Sean and Phil Davis looked great, hitting both opponents with the Heartbreaker. They controlled the action and Dustin Lee drug the ref out of the ring to prevent the count and was disqualified.

ERICK STEVENS def. RICKY LANDELL

Landell did everything but win. Stevens took a massive beating, but came back. He beat Landell with the Doctor Bomb.

TYLER BLACK/JIMMY JACOBS def. THE YOUNG BUCKS

The Young Bucks hit their finisher early on Tyler Black. Jacobs took over and used the End Time on Matt Jackson.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. EDDIE KINGSTON

An excellent, evenly fought match. Kingston showed he can keep on coming back. They traded misses off the top rope, then Castagnoli picked up the win after a big European uppercut.

IMPACT PLAYERS def. STEVE CORINO/DANNY DORING

Credible and Candido overwhelmed Doring right from the start, and a DDT by Credible ended this one in a hurry.

TABLES MATCH
NECRO BUTCHER/DRAKE YOUNGER def. ARIK CANNON/TIMBER

All-out carnage and destruction is how to describe this one. Both team members had to go through a table before the other team could try to win it. Unfortunately, some wrestlers got to go through multiple tables. Timber sent Younger through first, then Necro broke a table with Cannon's back. Younger put Cannon through a table, and Necro did it again to Cannon. Necro set Timber on the top of two tables and came off the balcony to crush him and get the pin.

FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE
SANDMAN def. SABU and DELIRIOUS

After all sorts of wild and crazy action, the match ended outside the Hammerstein Ballroom when the Sandman caned Sabu and got the pin out on the sidewalk.

BARBED WIRE BASEBALL BAT MATCH
THE SHEIK def. BRUISER BRODY and JIMMY SNUKA

The Sheik was out of control and unstoppable in this one. Brody and Snuka managed little in the way of offense. The Sheik left both of them covered in blood after many uses of the bat, and after it broke, he used the barbed wire itself. The Sheik wrapped it around Brody's neck and won the match with the Camel Clutch.

THREE WAY DANCE
ECW TAG TEAM TITLE TOURNAMENT FINAL
BRENT ALBRIGHT/ADAM PEARCE def. BACKSEAT BOYS and OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK

Trent Acid opened up with a Yakuza kick on Ox Baker, and Kashmere used the Cradle Breaker on Adam Pearce. They landed the T-Gimmick on Baker. Albright got in the ring and beat Acid with the Crowbar. Larry Sweeney's men went round and round with Baker and the Turk. Ox hit the Heart Punch and Pearce came in the ring. He chased Pearce outside and was jumped by Sweeney. Pearce hit Ox off the top rope to grab the pin and win the ECW tag team titles!

ECW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
MIKE QUACKENBUSH def. CHRIS HERO (ch) by C.O.

Just last week is when Hero turned on Quackenbush, setting off a bitter feud and this championship match. Quackenbush had things going for awhile, then it was Hero taking over and taking the fight to the challenger. After fighting on the outside, Quackenbush smashed Hero off the top rope down to the floor and ended up with a win by countout.

ECW Hardcore TV #10
Viking Hall
Philadelphia, PA
Sept. 2, 2118

A huge edition of Hardcore TV is lined up on the heels of the first ppv Hardcore Heaven last week. We showcase the tag teams in ECW tonight. Last week, Brent Albright and Adam Pearce won the triple threat tournament final to become the first ECW tag team champions. Several of the ECW teams will be in the WWC North American Tag Team Title Tournament that begins next week, and some of those first round matches will take place right here on Hardcore TV next week.

BRODIE LEE fought SAM HAYNE to a Time Limit Draw

The opener was an all-out fight. Hayne took over but Lee wouldn't go away and these two went at it to the time limit.

SARA DEL REY def. DAIZEE HAZE

This was the third meeting between these two in the last week. They started out with Haze winning by countout on the last edition of Hardcore TV before the ppv. Then they went to Puerto Rico and in WWC Del Rey claimed victory. Sara Del Rey won the rubber match after a second rope dropkick and the Butterfly Powerslam.

April Hunter then ran in the ring started beating on Daizee Haze. Then Jazz stormed out from the back and the bell rang for a rematch from Hardcore Heaven.

JAZZ def. APRIL HUNTER

Jazz made it two wins in a row over Big Red. These two went toe to toe though exchanging power moves. After Jazz won with the STF, Del Rey and Haze then fought back into the arena, and all four ladies took the melee to the back.

CHUCK TAYLOR def. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK

This was another rematch from the ppv. Taylor also collected a second straight win over UMB. Taylor took control of the match and won after an enzuigiri. Then another masked wrestler ran in and helped UMB doubleteam Taylor. Ultramantis Black left with his new henchmen Crossbones.

TYLER BLACK/JIMMY JACOBS def. ARIK CANNON/TIMBER

Black and Jacobs showed some great teamwork in this one. Cannon and Timber were happy to just brawl as much as possible, but the Phoenix Splash by Black finished off Cannon.

NECRO BUTCHER/DRAKE YOUNGER def. YOUNG BUCKS

This was another contrast in styles with the hardcore team against the tag specialists. The Young Bucks looked good but only for a moment. Necro Butcher put the spike to Matt Jackson and then beat him with the Asiatic Spike.

SANDMAN def. EDDIE KINGSTON

The Sandman is really on a roll right now and will be looking for that ECW title shot as soon as possible. Eddie Kingston did nothing but take a beating from the Sandman, and the toll of DDTs and canes took its toll.

OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. BACKSEAT BOYS by D.Q.

These two teams were in the tournament three way dance final on ppv. It was Albright and Pearce that came away with the belts. The Backseat Boys were all over the Turk, but finally Ox Baker got in the ring. He leveled Trent Acid with the Heart Punch. Johnny Kashmere rushed in the ring and was all over both opponents and was disqualified.

IMPACT PLAYERS def. STEVE CORINO/DANNY DORING

These teams met at Hardcore Heaven, and it was almost the same match. Doring made not tags and was counted out after a double team by Credible and Candido on the floor.

J.D. MICHAELS def. RICKY LANDELL

J.D. Michaels shocked the world by beating Jushin Thunder Liger for World Jr. title at Hardcore Heaven. Two days later he retained the belt at USWA SummerSlam against Liger and Gorgeous George. Landell has had Michaels' number though in ECW. Landell should have won this match after dominating most of the bout, and hitting many of his finishers. April Hunter jumped in the ring, giving J.D. the chance to hit Landell from behind. A top rope elbow drop gave J.D. the win.

MIKE QUACKENBUSH/CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI/ERICK STEVENS def. SWEET N SOUR INC.

A great six-man tag as Quackenbush has found some help in his fight against Chris Hero, who turned on him before Hardcore Heaven. Hero, Albright and Pearce, now managed by Larry Sweeney, are the ECW singles and tag team champions. The action was fast and furious, and it was the Quackendriver that pinned Pearce. All six kept the fighting going after the match.

DELIRIOUS def. SABU

The main event was the third meeting between these two high-fliers. Sabu is 2-0, with the last match being a triple threat that the Sandman won at Hardcore Heaven. Delirious wanted another shot at Sabu, and these two were on fire. Both were out of control with insane moves. Sabu took major move after major move, and somehow kept getting up. After two more times with the Chemical Imbalance, Delirious won with a Cobra stretch.
(Sabu's pin 9

After this spectacular match and long ovation by the fans, a newcomer came out to the aisle with a mic. "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. He condemned the fans for liking this king of non-sense, hardcore action. Where's the wrestling? He said he will give it to you whether you like it or want it, or not.

Then, new music hit and the ECW Arena exploded when Rob Van Dam came out into the crowd. He told Danielson it's all good, scientific, or hardcore. You should do both like me.

One more time a wrestler came out thrrough the fans. This time it was Al Snow, with his best friend head! He asked the fans what do you need? HEAD! HEAD! HEAD! HEAD! HEAD! HEAD! HEAD! HEAD!

YOUNG BUCKS FOUGHT NAPTOWN DRAGONS TO A TIME LIMIT DRAW

Two top tag teams showcased all they had but a winner was not decided. The Young Bucks maintained the advantage most of the way but couldn't finish off the Dragons.

DAIZEE HAZE def. APRIL HUNTER

Big Red almost won real quick after using the Head Hunter twice. Haze exploded with offense out of nowhere and followed a placha to the floor with the Mind Trip for the win.

JAZZ def. SARA DEL REY

Del Rey took over with the Royal Butterfly Powerslam. The match went back and forth and was a stiff as could be. Jazz came away the winner with the STF.

TYLER BLACK/JIMMY JACOBS def. HEARTBREAK EXPRESS

The Davis' thought they had the match after the Heartbreaker twice on Jacobs. Black went to the floor and then the Phoenix Splash beat Sean Davis.

RICKY LANDELL def. EDDIE KINGSTON

Kingston is tough to put away as Landell hit him off the top rope so many times it wasn't even funny. Landell didn't stop coming off the top until getting the pin.

MIKE QUACKENBUSH/ERICK STEVENS def. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK/CROSSBONES

A really good tag encounter with all four using their finishers. The Quackendriver finally downed Ultramantis Black.

DELIRIOUS/BRODIE LEE def. IMPACT PLAYERS

Lee set Credible up with the big boot then Delirious used the Chemical Imbalance for the win.

AL SNOW def. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI

Newcomer Al Snow scored his first win in ECW with the Snow Plow.

OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. BACKSEAT BOYS

Another great match that almost went the time limit. The Boys battled the whole way as the Turk and Baker were too strong for them. The Heart Punch finally ended the night for Trent Acid.

SABU def. CHUCK TAYLOR

Sabu really needed to get a win and did just that. Taylor was battered mercilessly in and out of the ring. The Camel Clutch put him away.

SWEET & SOUR INC. def. SANDMAN/STEVE CORINO/DANNY DORING

Larry Sweeney's team owns the ECW singles and tag team titles. Brent Albright whethered the storm to make a tag. The Sandman then held on to make his own tag. Albright beat Doring with the Crowbar.

ROB VAN DAM def. BRYAN DANIELSON

An awesome main event that was non-stop action. Danielson nearly won several times with the Cattle Mutilation. RVD was all-out offense and won with the Van Daminator.

DARK MATCHES

HEARTBREAK EXPRESS def. ULTRAMANTIS BLACK/CROSSBONES

The H. Express jumped UMB before the bell. Sean Davis nailed a neckbreaker and grabbed the pin seconds later.

STEVE CORINO def. DRAKE YOUNGER

The King of Old School put away Younger with no trouble after the Old School Expulsion.

HARDCORE TV

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. EDDIE KINGSTON

A very long match with both men having chances to win. Kingston took more damage as the match went on and Castagnoli got the pin after an uppercut.

MIKE QUACKENBUSH def. CHUCK TAYLOR

A good high-flying match that saw Taylor hang right in there. It was a Quackendriver that put Taylor away.

YOUNG BUCKS def. NAPTOWN DRAGONS

A rematch from last week's time limit draw. This one went down to the final second before the bell rang for another time limit draw. Tremendous tag team action from all four competitors. Matt Jackson came off the top rope for the pin on Lee at the same second the bell rang. The referee gave the match to the Young Bucks but the Naptown Dragons say the time had expired.

ERICK STEVENS def. SABU

A really big win for Stevens. Sabu had all sorts of offense in this one but Stevens showed his toughness. Stevens hit Sabu twice with the Dr. Bomb to get the win. After the match Bill Alphonso came out to the ring and left with Sabu.

BACKSEAT BOYS def. TYLER BLACK/JIMMY JACOBS

More real good tag team action as ECW is fast becoming a hot bed. The action was everywhere in and out of the ring. Trent Acid pulled out the win with a pin off the ropes on Jacobs.

LES THATCHER def. NIGEL MCGUINNESS

A rubber match between these two as last week at the Triathlon Surivor they split a pair of meetings. This was another good scientific match. Nigel looked ready to win but Thatcher withstood the London Dungeon. He caught fire and waylayed Nigel until winning with the Stump Puller.

BRYAN DANIELSON def. AL SNOW

Snow almost grabbed a quick win but the American Dragon then rallied. His many different suplexes took him to the win.

ROB VAN DAM def. BRODIE LEE

It didn't take long for RVD to win after a split leg moonsault.

RICKY LANDELL def. CHRIS HERO

A major upset as Landell took the pin on the ECW heavyweight champion. Landell maintained the attack most of the way. A missile dropkick gave Landell the big win.

THREE-WAY DANCE
SANDMAN def. NECRO BUTCHER and ARIK CANNON

A back and forth slugfest between these three. Necro put the Tiger Driver on Cannon but the Sandman jumped in with a DDT to steal the pin.

IMPACT PLAYERS def. DANNY DORING/ROADKILL

Doring's new partner wasn't all that much help. They stayed in the match a long time but Credible and Candido were in charge the majority of the time. Credible pinned Doring for the win.

NWA WORLD JR. HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
DELIRIOUS def. J.D. MICHAELS (ch)

J.D. Michales did not have April Hunter at ringside as she is in Japan for the IWWF tag team tournament. Delirious beat J.D. two weeks ago by countout, almost taking the title then. He did take the belt this time as Michaels never got things going. Delirious rolled to the win with the Chemical Imbalance.

ECW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
OX BAKER/TERRIBLE TURK def. BRENT ALBRIGHT/ADAM PEARCE (ch)

Larry Sweeney's men were unable to match the power of Baker and the Turk, and were out-brawled overall. Albright took the first beating from Baker. The champs did come back and used both the Jumping Piledriver and Crowbar but were unable to end the match. The Turk's stranglehold and then a camel backbreaker put away Albright to win the titles.

The former champs won the tournament a month ago at Hardcore Heaven, but were active in defending the titles.

[tystates]
