00:00Hello everyone and welcome to Extreme Championship Wrestling!
00:30I'm Joey Styles in Queens, New York City!
00:45And at this time I would like to introduce the ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World!
00:53And ladies and gentlemen, the great guy Shane Douglas!
01:23I'm Joey Styles in Queens, New York City!
01:29And I'm Joey Styles in Queens, New York City!
01:34And I'll write a book on this album in New York City!
01:38And I'll write a book on my own, The New York City!
03:41I take a look at all you guys and I feel really sorry because you're sitting next to guys and I got this.
03:53So, if you pee-brained moron, we'll put your hands together because I got a ravishing one who's going to walk that aisle and hand deliver to me another lamb for slaughter.
04:21Hit his music.
04:23This is me.
04:25This is me.
04:27This is me.
04:29This is me.
04:31This is me.
04:35This is me.
04:37This is me.
04:41This is me.
04:43This is me.
04:45This is me.
04:47This is me.
04:49This is me.
04:51This is me.
04:53This is me.
04:55This is me.
04:57This is me.
04:59This is me.
05:31What I'd like to have right now.
06:01It is for all you clabbing out of shape.
06:13What I'd like to have right now.
06:43You know, I've done a lot of f***ing in China, in Singapore, Korea, all over the world.
06:55Tell me something I don't know.
07:04Listen, I don't have f***ing to say to you because you are f***ing.
07:09But I do have something to say to you, Shane Douglas.
07:15You hired me to do a job for you.
07:26You paid me a lot.
07:28Come on, Rick.
07:30What I paid you is a woman who's wetter than a river.
07:35Who's hotter than hell.
07:38And who's so damn good that not one of these morons can know what to do with her.
07:42Well, that's obvious that these dickless derelicts couldn't handle Francine.
07:58But what I showed Francine on that wonderful evening is what I used to show my opponents in the ring.
08:08As the night gets longer, Rick Rude gets stronger.
08:13But Shane, you hired me.
08:20She's got her piece.
08:24She's got her piece.
08:27She's got her piece.
08:29She's got her piece.
08:59She's got her piece.
09:01She's got her piece.
09:01She's got her piece.
09:03She's got her piece.
09:07But what she's got her piece.
09:10It's all.
09:14But you don't have a piece.
09:24I'm sorry.
09:28Would you please try to shut the f**k up?
09:56I want to hear what the man has to say!
10:06You know Shane, I hear these brainless buffoons.
10:09They're talking about Rick Gruden selling out.
10:12But the fact of the matter is, Rick Gruden is the only man in this sport who can go wherever
10:19he wants, whenever he wants.
10:22It's called being a free agent, fools.
10:26Now you, Shane, you want me to push you to your limit.
10:30You wanted me to find you opponents who would help you reach your peak.
10:36Well, I've got just the man for you.
10:40He run rough shot through the WWE.
10:44He runs rough shot through the WCW.
10:58And he has his way wherever he goes, Japan, Asia, Europe, it doesn't matter.
11:12But he's not a boy, and he's not a toy.
11:16And he needs no introduction.
11:19Hit the music!
11:21Hit the music!
11:22He's an idiot.
11:24I'm sorry!
11:25Hit the music!
11:27Oh, man!
11:29Yeah!
11:31You did it!
11:34Let's go!
11:37Oh, man!
11:38Oh!
11:39Oh, man!
11:40Oh, man!
12:12Extreme.
12:18Championship.
13:43Up a step for the ride.
13:45Splash in the corner.
13:48Rick Crude has dropped another bombshell on the franchise and the triple threat.
13:54He got inside Bigelow's ear.
13:56And Bigelow is manhandling the ECW World Heavyweight Champion.
14:03For years, Bam Bam Bigelow has been heralded as a future World Heavyweight Champion.
14:13Rick Crude knows that.
14:19Could tonight be Bigelow's night?
14:21Douglas looks like a rag dog.
14:29Douglas looking for a timeout.
14:36What could be going through his mind?
14:40Rick Crude has done it again.
14:41He has broken up the triple threat again.
14:44The first time was that fairly legal when he turned Bulldozer Brian Lee against Douglas.
14:49Douglas now firing back at 240 pounds and a 450-pound bench press.
15:00Douglas can go toe-to-toe with the 360-pound Bigelow or anyone else in the sport today.
15:07Now Bigelow unloads on the franchise.
15:15Irish whip.
15:18Crest slam.
15:21Douglas could get mushed.
15:24Douglas may have been better off getting mushed.
15:27Instead, he gets crutched on the top rope.
15:30You see Candido and the head cheerleader, Francine, at ringside, here beside themselves.
15:41Another press slam.
15:49Douglas just gets dunked.
15:56Bam Bam Bigelow tired of running interference for the French.
16:00The franchise so he can keep the World Heavyweight title belt is looking to fulfill his destiny tonight here in Queens, New York City.
16:22The franchise is in trouble.
16:30And Rick Rude is soaking it all up.
16:40I guess the one night Rude got with Francine as payment for his services wasn't enough to stop him from, well, fooling with the franchise.
16:50Douglas moving.
16:59Douglas reaching out for Rude.
17:01His eyes are rolling back up into his head.
17:05And you can hear Chris Candido and Francine putting the bad mouth on Rick Rude.
17:09Douglas set for the ride
17:14Blows right out of the corner
17:16That one floors the beast from the east
17:20He's down to one knee
17:21Standing dropkick
17:23Douglas is back up
17:25He is the franchise
17:26Power, agility, finesse
17:29High crossbody
17:32This may be all Douglas on top lateral
17:34Two count only
17:36Douglas gets a two count on Bam Bam Bigelow
17:42That headbutt was
17:46Well, without question
17:49It was low
17:50Douglas is desperate
17:52Now raking his boot laces
17:54Across the eyes of Bam Bam Bigelow
17:56And now that Douglas has regained his composure
18:03It seems he has adjusted his strategy
18:05For Bam Bam Bigelow
18:07He may have been in shock at first
18:09When Rick Rude brought him out
18:10But now Douglas is
18:13He's back in his rhythm
18:15He's on his game
18:16What power
18:20Vertical suplex
18:24On the 360-pound beast from the east
18:27But Douglas may have hurt his lower back
18:29Bam Bam Bigelow on top
18:31through it
18:52Congratulations
18:53Douglas now raking the face of Bigelow
18:55There's a Bigelow right in front of Rick Rude.
19:00And Candido is saying, it's over.
19:02He's telling Rick Rude it's over.
19:17And Douglas woke Bigelow up.
19:19Look at the face on Bigelow Douglas.
19:24Couple of fingers to the eyes.
19:26Puts a stop to that.
19:30What's this?
19:33Rude Awakening!
19:35Bigelow just hit the franchise with a Rude Awakening.
19:40Two count.
19:41He left Douglas up.
19:44Diving headbutt to the chest.
19:47The franchise is not moving.
19:53Did you see the head and neck of Shane Douglas snap from the Rude Awakening applied by Bam Bam Bigelow?
20:02Bigelow misses.
20:03Bigelow misses the diving headbutt.
20:10DDT by Bam Bam.
20:12He countered the suplex attempt.
20:14Douglas gets spiked on that head compressing the neck that has already been injured by the Rude Awakening.
20:23Oh my God! Powerbomb to end!
20:25We win!
20:30Ladies and gentlemen, your winner is the extreme heavyweight champion of the world.
20:40Happy Sunday!
20:42Oh!
20:43Oh!
20:44Oh!
20:45Oh!
20:46Oh!
20:47Oh!
20:48Oh!
20:49Oh!
20:50Oh!
20:51Oh!
20:52Oh!
20:53Hey!
22:24ECW is in utter turmoil here tonight in Queens, New York City.
22:32Welcome back to Extreme Championship Wrestling, and we have a new ECW Heavyweight Champion of the World.
22:49Rick Boyd and Ravishing Rick Rude put one over on the franchise as former Triple Threat member Bam Bam Bigelow defeated Shane Douglas for his first World Heavyweight title.
23:01Coming up later in this program, the ECW singles debut of Japan's The Great Sasuke, who will go one-on-one with 23-year-old Just Incredible.
23:14But right now, everyone's favorite underdog, Mikey Whipwreck, is set to go one-on-one with the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal Sabu.
23:24Mikey Whipwreck opens up with a single leg, trying to turn Sabu over to a single leg Boston Crab, and does, but Sabu gets to the bottom rope.
23:37Sabu sucker punch, Mikey, who went for it.
23:53Sabu sucker punch, Mikey, who went for it.
24:06Now Sabu with the single leg takes Mikey down.
24:08And Mikey grasps the bottom rope.
24:15There's a boot right to the head.
24:23Irish Whip.
24:25Clothesline, floors, Mikey Whipwreck, cover, lateral, press to it.
24:30Two count only.
24:43Sabu clamps his legs around the arm of Mikey Whipwreck.
24:47It was Mikey who issued the challenge to Sabu on last week's...
24:52Yeah, she ruined your good looks.
25:02What a shame.
25:10You're watching a battle of two former ECW World Heavyweight Champions.
25:15Waistlocked by Sabu.
25:17Standing switch by Mikey.
25:19Sabu drops down.
25:21Gets an ankle pick.
25:23Mikey reaches up and grabs the chin.
25:25Gets an ankle pick.
25:34Mikey goes for the bottom rope again.
25:36Referee Jim Mollet will make Sabu break the hole.
25:42Mikey was favoring that left knee.
25:46Sabu saw it like a shark that smells blood.
25:50Trying to crush that knee.
25:53And goes back to work on the ankle.
25:55Mikey takes Sabu over.
26:01Into an armbar.
26:11Well executed armbar.
26:12Has the knee planted against the face of Sabu.
26:15But Sabu brings up the knee into the temple of Mikey Whipwreck.
26:20Jake!
26:26Irish whip, reversed by Mikey.
26:29Sabu lands on his feet.
26:34Sabu launches himself with the springboard at Mikey.
26:36Mikey is down.
26:38Lateral press cover to it.
26:41Mikey takes out.
26:42Sabu stomping away at Mikey.
26:55Irish Whip coming up.
26:56No, reversed once again by Mikey.
26:59Hip-toss blocked.
27:01Mikey's going to get the hip-toss now.
27:03No!
27:04That Hulankan runner came out of nowhere,
27:07and Sabu gets spiked on his head.
27:12Mikey Whip breaks, snaps Sabu over out of nowhere.
27:18Alfonso slides a chair into the ring.
27:23Mikey takes it right in the bus.
27:34Just when Mikey had things going his way,
27:38Alfonso slides a chair into Sabu.
27:42And the momentum has shifted.
27:56Beautiful.
27:57Mikey Whip breaks, taking over.
27:59Sabu springboards off the chair.
28:03Mikey trying to roll off of his shoulders.
28:06Sabu on top to it.
28:08Two and a half.
28:09Take another look at a few weeks ago in Philadelphia
28:16when Sabu burned the Sandman out of desperation.
28:22The Sandman has been out of action ever since.
28:25We hope he will be back
28:26with a November to remember pay-per-view.
28:28Oh, my gosh!
28:38Oh, my God!
28:44Er, er, er,er.
28:48Er, er, er.
28:51Er, er...
28:51Er, er, er,...
28:52Er, er...
28:56Saville launched himself!
29:01Almost a triple jump plancha into the third row!
29:13And this does not bode well for Mikey!
29:16Alfonso and Sabu bridging the guardrail at the ring with that table!
29:40Mikey hits the steal!
29:46And this is not where Mikey Wipwreck wants to be!
29:56Here comes Sabu!
30:01And he takes a chair to the face!
30:03Quick thinking by Mikey Wipwreck!
30:08Mikey's been there before!
30:10Didn't want to go through that table!
30:12Was able to get a chair up into the face of Sabu!
30:17Mikey is sending the turnbuckles but gets caught!
30:21Sabu going up as well!
30:27Mikey spikes Sabu! Bulldog from the top to it!
30:33Half a count away from Mikey Wipwreck getting a victory over Sabu!
