17:06Lance Storm got a victory over Axelrodden, but, oh, did he get planted?
17:32It's the gangsta!
17:36It's the gangsta!
17:38Watch your back, it's all I can't say.
17:40In the ghetto, there's no surprise.
17:42When a man dies, nobody's in the house.
17:45I'm running around, I'm over the ground.
17:47And you survive!
17:49It's the cancer!
17:53Let's burn you in the ghetto!
17:56My God!
17:59A toaster?
18:08That's video game!
18:12It's a video game!
18:42And it's the Dudleys now with the advantage over the Gangsters!
19:02I don't think that's how you use a word processor.
19:10Axel's a mess!

20:27Lance Storm is up! He's on the top turnbuckle!
20:31Axel and the Dudleys don't see him!

22:12Now that's an intriguing matchup!
22:14And now the Dudleys are going out to the gangstas!
22:18We've got another brawl in the aisle!
22:27To anyone the Dudleys haven't picked a fight with yet,
22:31they're gonna brawl all the way to the locker room!
22:36Everyone is talking about ECW barely legal on Pay Per View,
22:40but let's not overlook this Saturday night.
22:42The last ECW arena show before the Pay Per View,
22:46Hostile City Showdown 97,
22:49and one of the main events has been announced,
22:51it will be the franchise Shane Douglas
22:53against Pitbull 1 Gary Wolf in an I Quit matchup.
22:57It was last July that the franchise Shane Douglas
23:00broke the neck of Gary Wolf,
23:02and then he and Francine mocked Pitbull 1,
23:05until the night the franchise grabbed Gary
23:08by that surgically implanted halo
23:10and threw him down to the canvas.
23:12Many feel this Saturday night will be revenge
23:15for Gary Wolf Pitbull number 1.
23:18We now give you comments from the franchise Shane Douglas.
23:22Shane, just calm down, think about it.
23:24Just calm down a little bit, okay?
23:26I know you people are paying your hard-earned dollars
23:29because you want to see me get my neck broken.
23:32It's not going to happen.
23:35It is not going to happen.
23:39It is not going to happen.
23:41Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling.
23:44You know, we're always looking for new cities to display our unique blend of sports entertainment.
23:57Well, recently we took a sold-out turn-away crowd at the CYO Center in Trenton, New Jersey, to the extreme.
24:06And for those lucky fans who saw ECW's New Jersey debut,
24:11they witnessed the latest in a long string of incidents involving Taz and Sabu.
24:18Taz told the world today on the radio he was going to do this.
24:25He's going to bury victim after victim after victim after victim under the Team Taz flag until Sabu meets the flag.
24:36And that may happen Sunday night, April 13th, when they finally go to war.
24:42When ECW goes barely legal live on pay-per-view.
24:48And if Sabu gets caught in Makata Hajime, the Taz mission, that may be his fate as well.
25:01Taz said that is his victim, that's his trophy, that's his kill, and here comes Sabu!
25:08Oh my god, Sabu just, he stole Taz's kill!
25:13He stole Taz's trophy and Taz is hot!
25:19And they won at each other right now!
25:24Barely legal is going to be a war!
25:30Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, it is I, your quintessential stud muffin Joel Gertner,
25:42with a special report live from the hood.
25:46But before I get to that, just to let you know, I often walk around seedy, impoverished, poverty-stricken neighborhoods,
25:53very much like this one, with a hundred dollar bill taped to my forehead,
25:58just to see if anybody will be man enough, come on, bring it, man enough to take it from me.
26:04Well, that's not, come on, yeah, bring it on!
26:08That's not gonna happen tonight, or any other night, because I am about to hook up with a team so extreme,
26:19that they mopped the asphalt with the almighty gangsters.
26:26Ladies and gentlemen, D-Von and Bubba Ray, the Dudley Brothers!
26:34Oh, hello, New Jack and Stoffer, the gangsters.
26:40It was a nice little tip we had in the ECW arena.
26:44I'd say it was the most classic hold-for-hold wrestling match that we've ever been involved in.
26:51Tell them, D-Von.
26:52Testify! He will testify.
26:55Pat O'Connor, Lou Fez, I'm sure that they would be proud of us this day.
27:02But I say, those gangsters, British young gentlemen, they need to seek some psychiatric help.
27:10What do you say, D-Von?
27:12Oh, I can see the vision. Oh, I can see it clear.
27:18You see, gangsters, we've beaten you once, and now you want the rematch.
27:24Re-match.
27:25Righteous.
27:26Re-match.
27:28We have some more important things on our mind right now.
27:32Say, um, the ECW Tag Team Championships of the World.
27:38Testify!
27:40You'll remember.
27:41Those 20 pounds of gold that you used to wear around your waist.
27:44Oh, how righteous that is.
27:47But you know something, gangsters?
27:50On March 15th, when we take that short little man and the cuckoo retard on the mat, we will be the new ECW Tag Team Champions of the World.
28:03And that rematch that you say you want so badly, maybe we'll grant it to you.
28:12Then again, maybe not!
28:16Matt!
28:17Matt!
28:18Matt!
28:19Matt!
28:20Matt!
28:21Testify!
28:22Matt!
28:23Matt!
28:24Matt!
28:25Matt!
28:26Matt!
28:27Matt!
28:28Matt!
28:29Matt!
28:30Matt!
28:31Matt!
28:32Matt!
28:33Matt!
28:34You know, to some people, this building may not be much.
28:38To Vince McMahon, it's just a bingo haul.
28:41Eric Bischoff would probably say, where's all the expensive lights, the fireworks, the fancy scenery.
28:50Well, to us, this is home.
28:53Because there's nothing to concentrate on here but the wrestling.
28:57And we're the best tag team in the world.
29:01And on March 15th, Duglies, you're gonna come into our home and try to take our belts.
29:10Well, you're gonna suffer the same fate as the gangsters, Doc and Gordy, Sabu and Van Dam.
29:20Total elimination.
29:22Yeah!
29:23Total elimination!
29:26Yeah!
29:27Total elimination!
29:35Hey, is this all the promos we got to do?
29:37We're done.
29:38We're done!
29:39We're done!
29:40We're gonna get the car and get our money together.
29:41Hey, go get some of them Sicilin' girls, too!
29:44Sicilin', yeah, Sicilin'?
29:46That's Italian!
29:47Full-blooded Italian!
29:48That's what we're talking about!
29:50You know?
29:51And hey, we're fixing to go get some of the best Sicilin' food.
29:54We're going to Domino's.
29:55Hey, thank you very much.
29:57All right, tell me ciao!
29:58Hey, ciao!
30:00Come on, Gary.
30:01It's real simple.
30:02There's just two little words you need to know.
30:06Who thinks I'm cool?
30:09Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
30:14You broke my neck.
30:15You ridiculed me.
30:17You smacked this pitbull in the face for the last time.
30:21The chase is over.
30:25No more promises.
30:27No more threats.
30:29No more threats.
30:30I'm taking you.
30:31Out.
30:32I quit.
30:33You broke my neck.
30:34I quit.
30:35You ridiculed me.
30:36I quit.
30:37You smacked this pitbull in the face for the last time.
30:38I quit.
30:39I quit.
30:40I quit.
30:41You ridiculed me.
30:42I quit.
30:43You smacked this pitbull in the face for the last time.
30:46I quit.
30:47I'm taking you.
30:50Out.
30:51Taz, how unfortunate about your eyes swelling up and all, and your nose, and your throat,
31:01whatever.
31:02I was sorry to hear about your shoulder, too.
31:05Man, that's gotta suck.
31:08Let's look at something here.
31:11Who is really at fault?
31:14Can we really put the blame on Rob Van Damme?
31:18Can we blame you, Taz?
31:21I'll tell you who we can point a finger at.
31:24The promoter.
31:26They put such a fragile man like you in the ring with me.
31:33Terry Fuck, I grew up watching you.
31:36I grew up with failures.
31:39I was taught in this business to respect you.
31:43And it's gonna be my pleasure to step in the ring.
31:47And end your career.
31:49And you know why?
31:51Cause someone showed me the money.
31:54Bitch.
31:56If I want to get you in the ring, I don't know.
32:00I don't think I want to think.
32:03I want to think.
32:05And think.
32:07Out of you.
32:09Terry Funk truly is a hardcore legend.
32:18It's an honor for me to be in this corner and to be past the torch as being hardcore.
32:27Raven.
32:28Raven.
32:29He showed you something that I haven't been able to do.
32:33He showed you he could beat you.
32:36And then Brian Lee took a trash can and smashed him in his ear.
32:43Over.
32:44Over.
32:45And over.
32:46And over.
32:47And over.
32:48Again.
32:49You see, for 20 years, ever since Terry Funk lost the heavyweight title, he's dreamed of getting it back.
33:02And now that dream is dead.
33:03You see, Raven.
33:04That banquet of his is now gonna become his retirement banquet.
33:05And it burns a hole in my heart to see him cause I was his partner and I saw the life and the dream leave his soul.
33:09On Sunday night, April 13th, I assure you, Raven, that I'm gonna do everything in my power.
33:24To end your world.
33:40Quote the dreamer, never more.
33:49It is now time for our television main event.
33:52Seeing two 25-year-old grapplers against one another.
33:55Two young men who are looking to attain an all-new level of respect.
33:59Here at Extreme Championship Wrestling.
34:02Chris Candido and Luis Spicoli.
34:14Howling and elbow tie up.
34:17Spicoli backs Candido into the corner.
34:19Now they're jockeying for position.
34:21Lean break.
34:24A lot of bad blood between these two.
34:28And Spicoli had better keep his eyes on the other members of the triple threat.
34:30Headlock.
34:31It'll hammerlock.
34:32Reversal by Spicoli.
34:33Side headlock.
34:34Goes for the takeover.
34:35And Spicoli had better keep his eyes on the other members of the triple threat.
34:46Headlock.
34:47It'll hammerlock.
34:48Reversal by Spicoli.
34:49Side headlock.
34:50Goes for the takeover.
34:51Candido blocks it by hooking the leg.
34:53Interolateral press.
34:54Nice counter.
34:55One count.
34:56Nice chain wrestling.
35:00Nice chain wrestling.
35:01They tie up in the center of the ring again.
35:02Spicoli working over the arm.
35:15Side headlock again by Spicoli.
35:30Shot off.
35:31Shoulder block.
35:32And did that or a floor, Candido?
35:45The franchise and the bulldozer with some words of encouragement for Mr. No Gimmicks Needed,
35:50Chris Candido.
35:51And does he look dazed?
36:00He went down hard and his head bounced off the canvas.
36:11Side headlock again by Spicoli.
36:14Candido shoots him off.
36:17Other shoulder block.
36:18Full head of steam.
36:19Dropped down by Candido.
36:20Leapfrogged by Candido.
36:21Hip-tossed.
36:22Blocked.
36:23Reversed.
36:24Blocked.
36:25Reversed.
36:26Candido is not going to intimidate Luis Spicoli.
36:31Spicoli is too tough and these two are too familiar with one another.
36:46The free John Finnegan wants Bulldozer Blindly off of the ring apron.
36:52As I'm sure does Luis Spicoli.
36:59Reaking the eye.
37:03Right cross and a chop.
37:05Candido unloading on Spicoli.
37:09Spicoli firing back.
37:10Big Beal out of the corner.
37:11There's a Dandino.
37:12To Endo.
37:13Go go away.
37:14More extreme action coming at ya.
37:16Dandino now riding Luis Spicoli.
37:22Referee John Finnegan right there was not a choke.
37:29Picoli sent for the ride.
37:30Locks the hip toss.
37:31Going for a backslide.
37:32Who's gonna get it?
37:33And then it moved to
37:35Hamilton.
37:39There's a Dandino right there.
37:40There's a Dandino right there that the Dandino� Salvador Zane吉iron
37:45The goal he's set for the ride, blocks the hip toss, going for a backslide, who's going to get it, it's Candido and his shoulders down, two count only.
38:08Angel Kiri right behind the air, did you hear that?
38:15And you can bet Spicoli's brain slammed into the inside of his skull.
38:21Don't be surprised if he had a concussion.
38:27Cover! Two!
38:31Spicoli kicks out with authority.
38:39Candido now standing on the throat of Luis Spicoli.
38:45That's right!
38:51Irish whip!
38:52Spicoli takes the clothesline.
38:54Back the other way.
38:55High cross body!
38:57Two!
39:02Both men with those thunderous haymaker right hands.
39:06They are both down in the center of the ring.
39:12The franchise and the bulldozer.
39:21They were trying to rally the fans behind Candido.
39:23The chance you hear in the background is not the desired effect they wanted.
39:29Both men with the clothesline!
39:32And they're down again!
39:33And they're down again!
39:47Candido is back up to his feet first.
39:50But is he ever on spaghetti legs?
39:52Spaghetti legs!
39:55Right cross!
39:57Take it two!
39:59Third time's the charm!
40:01He's got another slug fist!
40:09Spinebuster!
40:10But Spicoli cannot capitalize!
40:12Or can he?
40:21Back drop!
40:23Clothesline!
40:25Clothesline!
40:27Candido is being rocked by Spicoli!
40:29Spicoli!
40:34Louis Spicoli!
40:36Now climbing the turnbuckle!
40:40Francine shaking the ropes!
40:44Francine crutched Spicoli on the turnbuckle!
40:49John Finnegan saw none of it!
40:54Candido was in trouble!
40:56Spicoli had everything going his way!
40:57And that little hussy ruined it for Spicoli!
41:01Superflakes coming up!
41:06No!
41:12Sunshine flip!
41:17There are two counts!
41:19Candido on top again!
41:21Spicoli flips him over too!
41:23Roll up!
41:25And scissors!
41:27Clothesline misses!
41:29German suplex!
41:30Bridge!
41:32Two and a half!
41:36Series of two counts!
41:38A great exchange between two great young athletes!
41:43Chris Candido and Louis Spicoli!
41:47Going at it here!
41:49At the CYC center in Scranton, Pennsylvania!
41:53Irish whip!
41:55Tip up in the corner!
41:57German suplex blocked!
41:58Northern light suplex!
41:59Northern light suplex with a bridge!
42:00Oh, that was so close!
42:01We were an inch away from seeing Louis Spicoli defeat Chris Candido!
42:07โ
42:16awards!
42:17That was so close!
42:18We were an inch away from seeing Luis Spicoli defeat Chris Candido!
42:21Slipper hold now put on by Candido, McCauley counters, McCauley now in the Slipper!
42:37Low blow by Chris Candido, and a fish between the eyes.
42:51Put on Conrata from the top! And Candido may have this matchup when he collapses on top of McCauley to end up!
43:06Candido can't believe it! Here it comes, the Death Valley driver! McCauley's going for it! No! Candido wrinkles off! Roll up out of the corner!
43:21High cross body, McCauley rolls through, hooks the leg, tune up!
43:31Inside cradle, small package to end! Candido got him just like that! Out of nowhere!
43:40Put inside cradle into a small package!
43:42The matchup could have gone either way! In fact, it looked like Spicoli had it won!
43:49Until Francine shook the rope!
43:51But in the end, no give exceeded, Chris Candido just squeaked by Luis Spicoli!
44:06And Candido showing no respect! The franchise loves it! A jerk!
44:13What a jerk!
44:27Spicoli's had enough of Candido!
44:31Here comes the entire triple threat!
44:33And Spicoli's gonna try to take on the entire triple threat!
44:51Primetime slam!
44:52Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor!
44:59It's the pitbull!
45:02The pitbulls have hit the ring!
45:07The pitbulls have hit the ring!
45:10Primetime slam on pitbull 2!
45:16Gary Wolf pitbull 1!
45:21With the power bomb on the franchise!
45:25He's got the bold outfit on the franchise!
45:29He's trying to break Shane Douglas' neck!
45:32He won't let go!
45:46He won't let go!
45:50He won't let go!
45:53He won't let go!
45:54He won't let go!
45:56He won't let go!
45:57He won't let go!
45:58He won't let go!
46:08Pitbull 1! Gary Wolf won't let go of the franchise!
46:10Shane Douglas!
46:12And when they go one-on-one this Saturday night at the ECW Arena,
46:16the matchup will not end!
46:19Will not be over!
46:21Will not be finished!
46:23Until one of those two men says,
46:26I quit!
