ECW Hardcore TV #32
Philadelphia, PA
Feb. 3, 2119

For the second week in a row, ECW welcomed the wrestlers competing in Block A of the Mexican Wrestling Enterprise Light-heavyweight title tournament.

MWE Light-heavyweight Title Tournament

Block A

GORGEOUS GEORGE def. ICARUS

A very strange sight, that of Gorgeous George in an ECW ring. It probably wouldn't have mattered who his opponent was, the fans were in no way shape or form cheering for him. Icarus had the crowd going with the Wings of Icarus and the Pedigree. George didn't go down though and won with the spinning toe hold.

RED BASTIEN def. OPHIDIAN

A lot of speed on display in this match. The old-schooler Red Bastien didn't let things get out of hand. He won with the abdominal stretch, but after the match Ophidian put the Cobra Death Grip on Bastien.

JIM BRUNZELL def. SABU

Last week Sabu lost the ECW TV title in a tournament match right here on Hardcore TV. This week he lost again after the big dropkick by Brunzell and a top rope crossbody.

ECW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
LES THATCHER (ch) def. DRAKE YOUNGER

Thatcher had to put the ECW TV title on the line. Younger has yet to win a match in the tournament but has been in ECW since the company opened as well as competing in Puerto Rico. Thatcher made it look easy and won with the Stump Puller.

Standings
1. Les Thatcher 6 pts.
2. Gorgeous George 6
3. Red Bastien 6
4. Jim Brunzell 4
5. Ophidian 4
6. Sabu 3
7. Icarus 2
8. Drake Younger 0

DAVEY RICHARDS def. MARK BRISCOE

Last week in tag team action, the American Wolves got the match with the Briscoes going early and quickly beat Mark Briscoe. They broke into singles matches this week, and Mark Briscoe came at Richards hard as the feud officially began and things got real tense. Mark hit a suicide dive to the outside, but Eddie Edwards ran out and the Wolves worked over Briscoe. Back inside the D.R. Driver put Briscoe away.

JAY BRISCOE def. EDDIE EDWARDS

Jay Briscoe stormed out to help his brother and went right at Edwards. A great match with Jay dominating the action in and out of the ring. Edwards was tough, kicking out of the Jay Driller but a death valley driver ended the match.

RODERICK STRONG def. EDDIE KINGSTON

A very fast match. Strong stopped Kingston's momentum on the outside and the Gibson Driver ended the match.

ERICK STEVENS def. AUSTIN ARIES by C.O.

A totally awesome match as both competitors put it all on the line in pursuit of the all-mighty victory. Just an incredible display of ability and guts from both men. There was no clear cut winner but Stevens came out on top by countout.

STEVE CORINO def. TYLER BLACK

The King of Old School took care of business against the man who lost an ECW title match last week on Hardcore TV. Black missed the Phoenix Splash and that led to his demise. Corino beat on him outside and took the fall with the Old School Expulsion.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. JUSTIN CREDIBLE

An amazing encounter between two of the best ECW has to offer. Castagnoli is pushing hard for a rematch with Chris Hero for the title at Cyberslam, but Credible would love that opportunity as well. Credible had a lot of chances to win but Castagnoli stayed alive. Then it was Credible showing how hard he is to finish off, but Castagnoli finally got the three after the Ricola Bomb (Credible 5 coins).

ECW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
BRENT ALBRIGHT & ADAM PEARCE (ch) def. HEARTBREAK EXPRESS

The champs were in total control and took their time before winning the match. Both of the Davis' got hammered but made the tag to let the other one get laid out for awhile. The end came after a spinebuster slam by Pearce on Phil Davis.

Feb. 10, 2119

YOUNG BUCKS def. NAPTOWN DRAGONS

A fast paced and very short match. Double dropkicks put Vortekz down for the three. That wasn't enough to satisfy these four as they continued to brawl after the match.

STEVE CORINO def. JOHNNY KASHMERE

A rematch from a couple weeks ago where Kashmere pulled off the big win after Corino's partner Danielson tried to hurt Trent Acid. This meeting was a barn burner, going back and forth. Corino took a beating but came back to win with the Old School Expulsion.

JUSTIN CREDIBLE def. TYLER BLACK

Credible is trying to find out where he fits in the title picture, whether he can get an ECW title shot or go after the TV title. Two times with That's Incredible and then the Singapore Cane put Black down for the count.

BEST 2/3 FALLS
THE COLONY def. SWEET & SOUR INC., 2-0

A very special Lucha Libre six-man tag team match. Hero, Albright and Pearce at first were in charge of the match, pounding on all three Ants. The Ants are tough and soon had things going in their favor. Fire Ant won the first fall with the Beach Break on Albright. The Colony kept it going and won the match with the TKO by Soldier Ant on Pearce. Will the Colony be seen in ECW more and could a tag team title match with Albright and Pearce be in their future?

AUSTIN ARIES def. ERICK STEVENS

An awesome rematch from last week's countout win by Stevens. Another all-out brawl with most of the match taking place on the outside. Stevens took a major beating but kept coming back. Aries tried to take a countout win by Stevens beat the count. The Last Chancery then ended this encounter (Stevens 5 coins).

AMERICAN WOLVES def. BRISCOES

Only the second meeting between these teams and it went nearly the same as the first, a fast win out of nowhere for the Wolves. Edwards' Achilles Lock put Jay Briscoe away in short order.

CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI def. RODERICK STRONG

Another solid win for Castagnoli as he waits to hear about a title rematch with Chris Hero at Cyberslam. Strong used his patented backbreaker but Castagnoli rallied and won with the Ricola Bomb.

WWC NORTH AMERICAN TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
MONGOLS (ch) def. ONE MAN GANG & KING KONG BUNDY

As usual with these teams, after awhile things just broke down and all semblance of order was lost. The Mongols busted Bundy open with the chains and grabbed the three count.

ECW Hardcore TV #34
Philadelphia, PA
Feb. 17, 2119

Just one week until ECW Cyberslam!!!

THREE-WAY DANCE
NAPTOWN DRAGONS def. YOUNG BUCKS and HEARTBREAK EXPRESS

A short match with a lot of action. The Heartbreak Express worked over the Bucks, including the Heartbreaker. The Dragons jumped in on the Bucks as well and won with the Kiss of the Dragon.

THE COBRA def. DEVON STORM

These two made their debuts just two days ago with an unbelieveable match in Mexico. They hit ECW for a rematch and this one was dead even all the way. Neither could find an opening for their finishers. The Cobra started to wear Storm down and won after a German suplex.

HEAD HUNTERS def. NECRO BUTCHER & ARIK CANNON

Necro and Cannon return to ECW after having some success in Puerto Rico. The Head Hunter made their in-ring debut and these four threw all caution to the wind, any semblance of a rule book out the window. Necro and Cannon were the aggressors, taking the fight at the humongous opposition. It was Headhunter A turning the match around with a clothesline and power bomb to beat Necro Butcher.

RODERICK STRONG def. BRODIE LEE

Brodie Lee also make a return from Puerto Rico and had Strong in a lot of trouble. Roddy came back with a Yakuza Kick and the Gibson Driver to pick up the win.

STEVE CORINO def. ERICK STEVENS

A real good back and forth match. Stevens had the upper hand but Corino held on. After fighting on the floor, Corino used any weapon he could find. The Old School Expulsion put him away. Corino didn't let up, smashing Stevens with the cane after the match.

EDDIE KINGSTON def. TYLER BLACK

Larry Sweeney's man Kingston showed a lot more offense than in recent matches. Kingston stayed on top most of the way. Black is tough to finish off but finally the Lariat put him down for the three count. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong came down to the ring and got in Tyler Black's face for some unknown reason. Kingston and Sweeney left as Aries and Strong attacked Black. Out of nowhere Jimmy Jacobs raced in to even the odds.

AUSTIN ARIES def. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI

Aries and Castagnoli turned in a real good match after all the happenings before hand. Aries came away the winner after a brainbuster. Black and Jacobs returned, as did Strong to start the brawl all over again.

BEST 2/3 FALLS
NO. 1 CONTENDER
BRISCOES def. AMERICAN WOLVES, 2-0

First fall was all Briscoes. They took a page from the Wolves in winning real fast. The Doomsday Device and spike Jay Driller beat Edwards. The Briscoes dominated the rest of the way. Edwards never got Richards in the ring and the Briscoes quickly won this match. ECW tag team champions Brent Albright and Adam Pearce came out to pick a fight and all six men battled it out as Hardcore tv went off the air.

What a great show, Ty.

I look forward to Cyberslam.

[cruefan68]

Fun show, loved seeing the Head Hunters debut. A vastly underrated team mainly due to a sub-par WWE match years back.

[tystates]

Thanks guys. Working on the card for Cyberslam. Think I've got it setup. The Head Hunters were a great team in Mexico and Puerto Rico, also worked a little in Japan. They had some ECW matches too and a very brief stop in the WWF.

ECW CYBERSLAM
Viking Hall
Philadelphia, PA
Feb. 24, 2119

THREE-WAY DANCE
NAPTOWN DRAGONS def. BACKSEAT BOYZ and DANNY DORING & ROADKILL

The first fall was wall to wall action. At one point two wrestlers were tossed off the top rope right after each other. Doring and Roadkill never got much going in their favor, but neither other team could put anyone away. The Buggy Bang downed Johnny Kashmere. Then the match became a top-notch tag team encounter with lots of tags and big moves. The Kiss of the Dragon put Doring away for good.

THE COBRA def. THE BLACK TIGER by C.O.

ECW fans love to see the superstars from Mexico. These two are turning in great match after great match. The Cobra hit a moonsault to the floor and the Black Tiger couldn't get back in the ring. Just two days ago on Lucha Lorda the Black Tiger beat the Cobra, piledrove him after the match and tried to remove the mask. The Cobra returned the favor with a tombstone and a top-rope headbutt on the Black Tiger.

BEST 2/3 FALLS
MWE TRIOS TITLES
TIGER MASK, JUSHIN LIGER, MIKE QUACKENBUSH (ch) def. ORDER OF THE NEO-SOLAR TEMPLE

All six men raced to start the match and battled it out around the ring and the floor. Quackenbush hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and pinned UltraMantis Black before any of the others knew what was going on. UltraMantis never made a tag the whole match. Tiger Mask did his thing then Liger used the Fisherman Buster to put him away and retain the titles.

AUSTIN ARIES & RODERICK STRONG def. TYLER BLACK & JIMMY JACOBS

Aries and Strong attacked Tyler Black for who knows what reason last week on Hardcore TV. Jimmy Jacobs returned from Mexico and the Light-hwt. title tournament to make the save. This match was over just like that as Aries put the Last Chancery on Black for the win.

BRYAN DANIELSON def. CHRIS CANDIDO

Earlier this week these two met in the last round robin match for the Mexican Light-hwt. title. Neither man could advance and Danielson got the win. He did again with the Cattle Mutilation, then was joined by Steve Corino to beat down Candido.

SABU def. JUSTIN CREDIBLE

An all-out violent match here with plenty of foreign objects used on the outside. Credible couldn't stop Sabu once he really got going, but somehow kicked out of the Triple Jump Moonsault. A springboard leg drop later ended the match (Credible 4 coins). Steve Corino came out with his cane and battered Credible until Erick Stevens raced out and the bell rang.

SINGAPORE CANE MATCH
STEVE CORINO def. ERICK STEVENS by C.O.

The King of Old School knows how to use the cane. Corino took over and destroyed Stevens with the cane until finally he could not continue.

ECW TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
LES THATCHER (ch) def. EDDIE KINGSTON

Eddie Kingston came oh so very close to winning the TV title. He battered Thatcher with move after move, including the lariat twice. Thatcher lived and fought back to win with Stump Puller. Thatcher will be in the Torneo Cibernetico final at Rey de Reyes for the MWE Light-hwt. title (Thatcher 4 coins).

ROAD WARRIORS def. HEAD HUNTERS

Absolutely the most out of control, wild, incredible match in ECW history. The Legion of Doom downed the One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy in Puerto Rico this week, and saw the massive team of the Head Hunters. The two teams had to meet. The first trip to the ECW Arena for Hawk and Animal will never be forgotten.

The Road Warriors overpowered the Head Hunters but couldn't finish them off. All four battled around the arena, Both Head Hunters were hoisted up high for the Doomsday Device. The Head Hunters kept on going and going. One final to rope clotheseline and the LOD won, but all four men showed amazing power to take punishment (Head Hunters 9 coins total, LOD 5 coins total).

SHEIK & TERRIBLE TURK def. BRUISER BRODY & CARLOS COLON by C.O.

Another feud from Puerto Rico. Surprisingly for most of the match, it stayed in the ring and the two teams tried win. Things turned wild though and Colon was double teamed on the floor and counted out.

THREE-WAY DANCE
ECW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
AMERICAN WOLVES def. BRENT ALBRIGHT & ADAM PEARCE (ch) and BRISCOES

A super fast finish to the first fall, much to the chagrin of the Briscoes. They beat the Wolves in a No. 1 contender match last week, but the champs jumped both teams and a Three-Way Dance was signed for tonight on ppv. Pearce powerslammed Mark Briscoe and pinned him very early in the match. Then a military press and kick knocked Pearce to the floor where he barely made it back in the ring. A brainbuster by Davey Richards put Pearce away and the American Wolves are the new ECW tag team champions!!! Albright and Pearce immediately attacked and the Briscoes stormed back into the ring for another six-way free for all. Since winning the title tournament, Albright and Pearce have had the belts for all but two weeks of the time following the final.

ECW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
CHRIS HERO (ch) def. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI

Hero is the only ECW champion there has ever been, and made sure he wasn't losing it tonight. Castagnoli could do nothing against him. Hero rolled to another title defense, and the only one of Larry Sweeney's charges to win a match. Hero is now off to Mexico to try and win Rey de Reyes and the MWE heavyweight title.
