00:59About five months ago, I stood in this ring with Tommy Dreamer, and we made a pact.
01:11I said, Tommy, I'll be your partner tonight on one account.
01:15You challenged me for my belt.
01:17Next time, we're in Buffalo.
01:23Well, it's here.
01:24We're in Buffalo.
01:26And unlike this WWF, and unlike this WCW, we're gonna give you what we promised you.
01:39So what's gonna happen is this.
01:41Tommy Dreamer's gonna get this ring.
01:43I'm gonna get this ring.
01:45The most prestigious belt in this business will be on the line, and like everyone else,
01:51Tommy Dreamer will be just another victim.
01:56And do you know why?
02:00Because I'll cast the ECW World Television Champion.
02:06Beat me if you can!
02:09That's my man!
02:10I'm playing!
02:11That's my man!
05:26I take it back.
05:27I take it back.
05:28I take it back.

10:42The battles have been turned on Sabu.
10:53Here's one for Mr. Monday Night as well.
10:58But right now, I venture to guess, has no idea what night it is.
11:12Piled drivers in stereo, and that brings in Bill Alfonso.
11:17Alfonso broke up the count.
11:22Bula is furious.
11:25Alfonso wants no part of Bula.
11:30He's still got a score on his forehead for the last time they've tangled here in the ECW Arena.
11:35Jeff Jones is ejecting Bula?
11:51Bula took a swing at referee Jeff Jones, who has dragged Bula out of the ring.
11:59What does he think he's doing?
12:00What does he think he's doing?
12:05Rolling thunder on the Sandman, as Jeff Jones is carrying Bula Magillotani away.
12:19Rolling thunder on Tommy Dreamer.
12:21Alfonso throws the ladder in.
12:32They're gonna smash the ladder on Tommy Dreamer's broken heel.
12:36They've got a chair in front of his cat.
12:43My God!
12:44Once again, Sabu and Van Damme trying to end the career of Tommy Dreamer.
12:56The Sandman thrown head first into the ladder.
13:01Sabu and Van Damme are going in for the kill.
13:04This is the most violent, cute in professional wrestling.
13:09Sabu wrestling with a hairline fracture of his jaw and a few teeth missing.
13:14He took a tail leg in the mouth last night.
13:18What in the...
13:20Oh, my God!
13:24They tried to decapitate the Sandman!
13:26And the Sandman is being helped to the back.
13:37Tommy Dreamer has been left to fend for himself.
13:40Van Damme surfboarding Tommy Dreamer.
13:47They missed! They missed!
13:49Rob Van Damme takes the chair between the eyes
13:52of this cue on the part of Sabu and Van Damme.
13:54That chair shot did not miss!
13:58That chair shot did not miss!
14:03Hey, Vince McMahon!
14:05If you don't come down to this bingo hall
14:08and write a small check and buy it,
14:11I think I might!
14:13Because there's not a person in this company
14:16that can beat...
14:19Sabu!
14:24I'm a champion!
14:27I don't know!
14:29And once again,
14:54Phil Albonco's seatbelt
14:56in trouble, and we have Taz and Sabu in the same ring.
15:05Taz has replaced the Sandman in this matchup.
15:08Single-A takedown by Taz.
15:10He's all over Sabu, and in comes Rob Van Damme.
15:19Van Damme and Sabu double-teaming
15:21the world television champion.
15:24Modified cabal clutch.
15:28What a slingshot throw kick,
15:31both feet in the forehead of Taz.
15:41Tommy Dreamer is down to the corner,
15:44clutching at his heel, which may be destroyed at this point.
15:48In the middle of the road.
15:51Fever hooks Sabu,
15:54I'll make it miss it.
15:56Fever hooks Sabu,
15:57Mandeir misses.
15:58Fever hooks Sabu,
15:59men to miss it.
16:00Fever hook,
16:01Mandeir misses it.
16:01Fever hooks Sabu,
16:03man to miss it.
16:03Head and arm front Taz-Plex.
16:05There are thousands of wrestlers who throw suplexes, but there is only one athlete in any sport who can throw a tassplex, and when Ralph Van Damme figures out where he is, he may be able to explain the difference to him.
16:35Tommy Dreamer setting up the table, which Cass does not seem happy about, Cass is not about using chairs and tables, he's a wrestler, he's got an amateur back grab, he's a shooter.
16:54Cass looking on at Tommy Dreamer setting up the table, he wants third part of the table in this matchup.
17:06Say what?
17:10Oh my god!
17:18Stevie Richards, superstar Stevie Richards, just Stevie kicked Tommy Dreamer!
17:24Tass has wanted to destroy Stevie Richards since he left ECW the first time, Stevie Richards mocked Tass live on Nitro, facing wide on TNT, and now he's got paint!
17:39No!
17:40Sabu saved the life of superstar Stevie Richards!
17:44Sabu is trying to choke out Tass with his own hole!
17:48Tass has hooked the top rope!
17:51Sabu can't lock the hole!
17:56Thought splash on Tommy Dreamer!
17:58Ladies and gentlemen, you're winning teams, Rob Van Damme and Sabu!
18:11Well they used Jerry Lawler, they have used Jim Coronet, and tonight, Rob Van Damme and Sabu used superstar Stevie Richards to steal a victory away from Tommy Dreamer and the Sandman!
18:23And whether he likes it or not, Tass became a reluctant member of Team Extreme!
18:33Stevie Richards has made his bet, it's a deathbed, and if any ECW wrestler ever runs into Stevie Richards again, he will lie in that deathbed!
18:44Bob Van Damme and Sabu steal a victory once again!
18:53Bob Van Damme and Sabu steal a victory once again!
18:59Would you hurry up?
19:03You're taking forever!
19:06You're gonna use all the hot water again!

20:50we saw Mikey taking on 23-year-old upstart Justin Credible
20:54looking for the third straight victory over Jason's latest charge.
20:59And in the middle of the matchup,
21:00Mikey's knee-buckled,

25:41used to have to do and we do it better than they've done it why
25:46because we've taken all the pieces of their talent and what they did well and we jettisoned what they
25:53didn't do well like getting old at 34 years old i've already thrown down a belt that had over 100
26:00years of legacy behind it and i have now for the third time my favorite number held the ecw world's

29:44Tracy Smothers and the Big Don, Tommy Rich.
29:49Along with Little Guido, who is Italian.
29:59He has gone on record as saying he's been introduced to Ham-Hawk Parmesan.
30:05His team is sliding in the wrong direction.
30:08I hate this flag.
30:35Every time they wave that flag, it takes my family a day and a half to calm down my poor grandmother.
30:54It's like a riot on Arthur Avenue.

33:53Don't sit get it out of the door.
33:56On to the back!
33:59Vertical suplex.
34:01Smothers should take notes.
34:04That's how you do the chin fake.

35:26Smothers on the top turnbuckle.
35:30Jerry Lynn took the John Jacker for his tag team partner.
35:34Smothers thinks it's over.

37:10Dreamer shoots off Taz, both of them toss, reversed and blocked, both of them miss clothesline.

37:38Taz with the front chantry, Dreamer comes up into the hammerlock.
37:44Reversal by Taz, back to the side headlock, into the O-Go.
37:51Dreamer fighting to keep those shoulders off of the canvas.
37:59Look at the way Taz hooks the arm with his own leg.
38:03Dreamer gets his foot across the bottom rope.
38:06Reversal, Dreamer makes Taz break the hold.
38:08Fuel looks up.
38:19Remember, Dreamer wrestlers with a broke in heel.
38:25Signed away for identifying ECW.
38:28Didn't make a big deal about it on national TV.
38:30Just signed it, went to work.
38:34Taz now twisting away on that, well not working over the broken heel, but twisting away at the ankle.
38:40Tommy kicks him off.
38:43Dropped to hold by Dreamer.
38:45Comes up with a Fujiwara armbar.

42:55After being in the cot to Harjene
42:57and being robbed of oxygen,

43:04And Holt does not have to be on long
43:07to make you woozy.
