SHOW RECAP:
*The iPPV kicks off with Joey Styles and Joel Gertner in the ring. After the usual lewd introduction by Gertner, Styles ran down the card for tonight and the opening video package aired.*
1.) Los Amigos Locos beat the Hot Commodity team of Kid Kash and EZ Money, but not without controversy as halfway through the match, Julio Dinero and Chris Hamrick came down to ringside and forcibly escorted Elektra to the back. This caused Kid Kash to follow them to the back in anger, leaving EZ Money all by himself. EZ Money then fell victim to a powerbomb and moonsault combo from Super Crazy for the loss.
*Backstage, EZ Money caught up to Kid Kash and Elektra yelling at Julio Dinero and Chris Hamrick. EZ Money tried to stay out of the argument, until Hamrick demanded he pick a side. EZ Money then picked Kid Kash cause he won't fuck him over in jealousy. The three left together, leaving Hamrick and Dinero by themselves.
Also backstage, New Jack was standing by with Chilly Willy, who was now dressed just like New Jack. New Jack then explained why he chose Chilly Willy as his tag team partner, saying Chilly Willy is one of the toughest niggas he's ever met. He's just like him, hardcore to the motherfucking bone. And tonight, New Jack and Chilly Willy are gonna unleash some BLACK VIOLENCE on the DA Baldies. And Vic Grimes, New Jack is afraid for your life. You tried to take him out for good, but you failed badly like the punk ass bitch you are. And tonight, he just might kill a white boy tonight. But New Jack did promise one thing, that he won't try to enjoy it.....too much.*
2.) The newly dubbed "Black Violence" did just that to Da Baldies tonight in their Streetfight. New Jack almost got him hands on Vic Grimes, but he ran away through the crowd....again. This left Angel and DeVito feel the wrath of both New Jack and Chilly Willy. Eventually New Jack pinned Angel with the 187 (Diving Elbow Drop with chair) for the win.
*New Jack then took the mic after the match, yelling at Vic Grimes as he looked on from in the crowd, that he can run but eventually his white ass will be belong to New Jack!
The Blue Meanie cut a promo backstage with a new more dapper look. Blue Meanie then christened himself Da Blue Boy and said from this point on, his career will be on the rise to super stardom.*
3.) Da Blue Boy's career is off to a great stop. Thanks to Jerry Lynn and two cradle piledrivers. Don't piss off Jerry Lynn was the message sent here.
*Backstage, Tommy Dreamer met with ECW's owner and booker, Paul Heyman. Paul Heymen told Tommy Dreamer that it took some big balls to put his career on the line tonight. Dreamer said he did it so he would have all the motivation to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman said he likes that and tonight's match for the title will be anything goes, there must be a winner by pinfall or submission ONLY. Tommy Dreamer said he likes that and thanked Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman said "No Tommy, Thank you. Thank you everything." The two then embraced as the scene faded out.*
4.) Justin Credible and Lance Storm retained the ECW World Tag Team titles over Spike Dudley and Balls Mahoney. But not without a good fight from the challengers. Eventually Dawn Marie interfered leading to Justin Credible pinning Spike with That's Incredible for the win.*
*Cyrus the Virus then came out along with Yoshihiro Tajiri and told everybody he was not gonna wait for his chosen assassin to win the ECW World Television Championship from Rob Van Dam any longer. So RVD, get out and get ready to lose. "Walk" by Pantera then played over the PA System and RVD, along with Bill Alphonso, came out for the title match.....*
5.) Tajiri nearly ended the 2+ year title reign of the Whole Fucking Show tonight. But in the end, Rob Van Dam overcame the interference of The Network and pinned Tajiri with the Five Star Frog Splash for the victory.
*After the match however, Rhino almost cut RVD in half with a monsterous GORE! GORE! GORE! Rhino then was about to piledrive RVD through the ringside table, when "Enter Sandman" by Metallica began to play over the PA System, signaling the arrival of only one man, the "Hardcore Icon" The Sandman! Sandman made his way out and began to cane members of The Network, including Steve Corino, leading to an impromptu match......The Sandman VS Steve Corino!*
6.) The Sandman caned Steve Corino to a bloody mess and looked to have the match well in hand, after DDTing Corino onto a piece of guardrail. But Rhino proved to be the difference maker and gored The Sandman through table in the corner of the ring. Rhino then pulled Corino on top of Sandman for the pinfall victory and the biggest win of Corino's ECW career.
*After the match, RVD recovered and returned to the ring, to tried to get some payback on Rhino for the Gore earlier, but all he got instead was another GORE! from the seemingly unstoppable Man-Beast. The Network then celebrated the destruction of two of ECW's top stars.*
7.) Tommy Dreamer and Tazz engaged in all out war tonight for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the crowd was clearly behind Tommy Dreamer 110% in this all important match. Tazz didn't not give a shit and was in full "Fuck The World" ECW Taz mode tonight. He seemed to enjoy destroying the ECW's chosen hero too. Tommy refused to go down without a fight though and did fight back several times. Eventually Tommy made a comeback and nailed Tazz with his corner dropkick. Tommy then nailed Tazz with the DDT, but Tazz kicked out at 2! Tommy Dreamer was in shock, but kept his composure. Eventually Tazz came back and threw Tommy through a table in the corner with the Head & Arm Tazzplex. Tazz then signaled for the Tazzmission and the finish. But as he did, CHRIS JERICHO of WWF ran in from the crowd and nailed Tazz with brutal chairshot to the face & head. Jericho then threw the chair on the mat and yelled something rather mean and vulgar at Tazz before leaving through the crowd. Tommy Dreamer, who was unconscious and saw none of this, picked the chair up off the mat. Dreamer then nails the recovering Tazz with it in the midsection. Tommy Dreamer then dropped the chair on the mat and grabbed Tazz's head in a front facelock. Tommy Dreamer then yelled out "E-C-FUCKING-W!" and dropped Tazz face first onto the chair with the DDT. Tommy Dreamer now covers Tazz, hooking the leg, for the three count to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship!
*After the match, Tommy Dreamer just sat on the mat for a few moments, not believing he just won the title. He then got up and celebrated, yelling out in jubilation. An angry Tazz now interrupts Dreamer's celebration. Dreamer braces for an attack, but Tazz just smiles and extends his hand. Dreamer now shakes hands with Tazz. Tazz then leaves the ring, obviously still upset over what happened with Chris Jericho too. Tommy Dreamer now takes the belt and looks at it for a long time, as he hold a mic in his hand. Tommy now tells the crowd that he can't believe this just happened. And if this is still a dream, he never ever wants to wake up from it. Cause he may never make it to WrestleMania and he never wants to make it to Starrcade, but now he can say he made it to the top of E-C-FUCKING-W! So from the bottom of his heart, he has only one thing left to say about this moment......Thank you and I love you all so very very fucking much. Tommy Dreamer now goes to put the belt around his waist, when the lights go out in the ECW Arena. Could it finally be the return of Sabu in ECW?! NOOOO! IT'S, IT'S, IT'S......SID VICIOUS!! And he has Tommy Dreamer by the throat in the ring! OH MY GOD! Monstrous Chokeslam by Sid! Tommy Dreamer is now laid out cold in the ring. Sid now picks up the ECW World Heavyweight Championship off the mat and looks at it. He now smiles and puts it over his shoulder. Sid now leaves the ring and begins to walk up the entrance way as the show ends with a final shot of the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Tommy Dreamer, laid out cold in the ring.*

ECW HARDCORE TV
April 25th, 2000
ECW Arena - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1.) Super Crazy (w/ Pscicosis) beat EZ Money (w/ Kid Kash and Elektra) with the Moonsault.
2.) Chilly Willy (w/ New Jack) beat DeVito (w/ Angel) with the Out Cold.
3.) ECW World Television Championship: Rob Van Dam (w/ Bill Alfonso)© beat Yoshihiro Tajiri (w/ The Network) with the Five Star Frog Splash.
4.) Rhino(w/ The Network) beat The Sandman with a piledriver.
5.) ECW World Heavyweight Championship: Sid Vicious beat Tommy Dreamer© with the Power Bomb to become the NEW champion.
SHOW RECAP:
*Hardcore TV opened with a recap of Barely Legal, ending with Tommy Dreamer winning the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and the shocking debut of Sid Vicious afterwards.
After the recap, Sid Vicious cut a promo in a dark lit room, with the ECW World Heavyweight Championship belt over his shoulder, and challenged Tommy Dreamer to try and come take HIS belt back tonight in the main event of Hardcore TV.*
1.) Super Crazy fought EZ Money in rematch from the tag match at Barely Legal. Super Crazy won with the moonsault after Chris Hamrick and Julio Dinero came down to ringside and distracted all three of them.
*An angry Tommy Dreamer was shown arriving at the building, when ECW personnel, Eric Tuttle, walked up to Tommy to inform him about Sid’s challenge for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in tonight’s main event. Tommy Dreamer immediately yells out only two words “I ACCEPT!” and enters the building, slamming the door loudly behind him. Eric Tuttle was then left standing there in stunned silence.*
2.) Vic Grimes ran away from New Jack again and Chilly Willy knocked out DeVito with his mean right hand aka the Out Cold.
*In the ring, Cyrus The Virus challenged Rob Van Dam to a rematch for the ECW World Television Championship, saying he couldn't beat Yoshihiro Tajiri twice in a row. RVD gladly came out and accepted the challenge for the match, being the fighting champion that he is.*
3.) Like last time, RVD managed to win the match with the Five Star Frog Splash.
*But after the match, Cyrus got in the ring and began yelling at Yoshihiro Tajiri for failing the Network TWICE! Once was bad enough. But TWICE?! You don't fail the Network TWICE! So Tajiri....YOU'RE FIIIIIIIRED! Rhino then gored Tajiri and The Network began to stomp like the gang of thugs they are, until the Sandman came out and made the save!*
4.) This all led to the Sandman taking on Rhino in an impromptu matchup. The Sandman seemed to have the upper hand by repeatedly caning the Man-beast. But Rhino somehow shrugged it off and still gored the Sandman through table in the corner. The Sandman barely kicked out, but he did not kick out of the Rhino piledriver on the remnants of the shattered table afterwards. Nobody can stop this monster!
*Backstage, Paul Heyman was trying to stop Tommy Dreamer from going to the ring to face Sid Vicious for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. He doesn't have to do this. Tommy Dreamer told Paul Heyman that he has too. Otherwise, he be seen as the faux champion and he can't let that happen. Tommy Dreamer then left for the match, with Paul Heyman worried about Tommy's well-being and state of mind.*
5.) Unlike last night which was a wild brawl and a even matchup, Sid Vicious dominated Tommy Dreamer tonight. Tommy Dreamer tried to fight off Sid, but to no avail. Eventually he did try to make a big comeback, but Sid still stopped him dead in his tracks as Sid caught a charging Dreamer with a monstrous big boot, laying him out cold. Sid then grabbed Dreamer by the throat, dragged him up to his feet, and killed him dead with the same monstrous choke slam from Barely Legal. Finally, Sid put an exclamation point on his dominant victory with the Power Bomb, pinning Dreamer easily.
*After the match, Sid Vicious threw the limp body of Tommy Dreamer out of the ring and raised the ECW World Heavyweight Championship high into the air. He then began motioning to the crowd for them to continue to chant "SID! SID! SID! SID!", which they did. All hail the new Master and Ruler of the ECW World, Sid Vicious! And poor Tommy Dreamer never even got to wear the title belt at all.*

ECW Arena - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
1.) Kid Kash (w/ Elektra) beat Psicosis (w/ Super Crazy) with the Money Maker.
2.) Redd Dogg (w/ Black Violence) beat Angel (w/ Da Baldies) with the Dog Pound.
3.) Spike & Balls (Spike Dudley & Ball Mahoney) beat Nova and Chris Chetti when Spike pinned Nova with the Acid Drop.
4.) Rob Van Dam and Yoshihiro Tajiri (w/ Bill Alphonso) beat Steve Corino and Jack Victory (w/ The Network) when Tajiri pinned Jack Victory with the Buzzsaw Kick.
SHOW RECAP:
*The show opens backstage with the promo from the Sinister Minister. The Minister says that possession is 9/10ths of the law and that Tommy Dreamer should have just obeyed the law after Barely Legal. But he didn't and now Sid possesses the belt completely. But have no fear Tommy as you have a chance to take back what was yours at Hardcore Heaven. Sadly though, from the Minister's perspective, Tommy Dreamer won't be going to heaven that night, he'll be going straight to HELL! The Sinister Minister then laughs like only he can as the scene fades out from there to the opening video package.*
2.) Redd Dogg made his ECW debut, but he wasn't alone. He was with New Jack and Chilly Willy. With Black Violence by his side, Redd Dogg was able to defeat Angel with the Dog Pound or running powerslam.
*After the match, New Jack told everybody he found himself a third member of his gang tonight, straight from the ECW House of Hardcore, Redd Dogg! And with him, Black Violence is gonna send Da Baldies to the Dog Pound! Redd Dogg then barked out loud as the scene faded out.*
4.) Yoshihiro Tajiri, now a member of the ECW roster and free of The Network, teamed with Rob Van Dam in the main event tonight. And Tajiri proved to be of great value immediately, as he blinded Steve Corino with the green mist and then nailed Jack Victory with the Buzzsaw Kick for the win.
*After the match, Tajiri and Corino continued to brawl outside the ring and to the back. RVD with in the ring along with Cyrus and almost got his hands on him, until Rhino was able to save Cyrus. Rob Van Dam then challenged Rhino to fight him in a match at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Before Rhino could answer, Cyrus interrupted and told RVD that if he wanted the match so badly, he should put the ECW World Television Championship on the line against the Man-Beast too. Rob Van Dam nodded his head and accepted the terms.
After the break, Joey Styles informed everybody at home, that Paul Heyman has made it official and we now have two more matches for Hardcore Heaven 2000, Rhino challenging RVD for the TV title and Yoshihiro Tajiri taking on Steve Corino!
The ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Sid Vicious, then came out and spoke to the crowd for the first time since becoming the NEW champion. Sid said he left World Championship Wrestling because he hated the direction the company was headed in. He said he put his body on the line for the company as it's World Heavyweight Champion and carried it on his back for the early part of this year. And how does WCW repay him, by stripping him on the title and embarrassing him on national television. Everybody thought Sid Vicious was done and gone from professional wrestling after that incident. Well look at him now, he is back on top as the Master and Ruler of the ECW World. And this time, he'll be damned if anybody, including Tommy Dreamer, will take it from him.
Tommy Dreamer then came out and confronted Sid Vicious. Dreamer said the only reason he is on top right now, is because he blindsided and stole that belt from him at Barely Legal. So as far as Dreamer is concerned, Sid Vicious is nothing but a thief and a false champion. Sid then tells Dreamer that he is standing in his ring, and this ring is Sid's World. And in Sid's World, only he is master and ruler. Tommy then tells Sid to prove it and let him name the stipulation for their rematch at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Sid just smiles and nods his head. Tommy Dreamer then tells him that he won't be smiling at Hardcore Heaven 2000, cause their rematch is a match he knows very well and one Sid knows nothing about. In fact, Sid maybe living on top of the world right now, but at Hardcore Heaven 2000 ironically, the stairway will only lead to HELL! Cause it's gonna be a STAIRWAY TO HELL MATCH! Tommy Dreamer now extends his hand to Sid and Sid shakes it, while raising the ECW World Heavyweight title belt above his head. Tommy Dreamer now looks at the belt for a moment, before mouthing something to Sid. Before Sid can even react, Dreamer kicks Sid in the balls and drop him on the mat with the DDT! Tommy Dreamer mouths something else at Sid as he lays on the mat. He picks up the belt and poses over the fallen Sid as the show ends there.*

SHOW RECAP:
*The Show opens with Joey Styles in the ring. He then introduces the crowd to the two very special guests at the Hara Arena tonight.....THE INSANE CLOWN POSSE! Shaggy 2 Dope and Violent J come out to a nice ovation from the crowd. ICP explains they have always been wrestling fans, especially of ECW and it's product. Eventually the Impact Players come out to the ring and interrupt them in anger. Lance Storm then says he wants to be serious because this is a big fucking joke. How the ECW World Tag Team Champions haven't been on television since Barely Legal and these two clowns are. Justin Credible says that it’s not very cool at all. In fact, it's very pathetic. ICP then tells them the only thing that's pathetic is listening to them whine like a couple of bitches. Lance Storm now tells ICP to leave the ring before they both get hurt. Violent J then tells them both to make them leave. We now have a brawl between ICP and The Impact Players with security breaking it up. The scene then fades out to the opening video package.
It's then announced Tommy Dreamer and Sid Vicious will not be there but will be on ECW on TNN to sign the contract for Hardcore Heaven 2000, this Friday night.*
1.) Los Amigos Locos beat Kid Kash and EZ Money again, when Chris Hamrick and Julio Dinero again interfered. This has got to stop.
*Backstage, Paul Heyman announced tonight in the main event Violent J will wrestle Lance Storm. Heyman then mentions that when he says wrestle, he means fight. He also warns Justin Credible that interfering during this "match" would have severe consequences too.*
2.) Redd Dogg and Chilly Willy beat the Da Baldies and Vic Grimes manages to run away and escape New Jack's wrath as well.
*After the match, New Jack announced that he talked to Paul Heyman earlier today and he agrees 100% with New Jack. At Hardcore Heaven 2000, it will be New Jack, Chilly Willy, and Redd Dogg taking on Angel, DeVito, and Vic Grimes in a 6-Man. Oh and this 6-Man will be anything goes too. Most of all, it will be inside a fucking STEEL CAGE! So Vic Grimes, your days are now numbered!*
3.) Tajiri had his match with Jack Victory won until Steve Corino ran in.
*This led to Rob Van Dam running down to help him. Rhino then got involved as well, leading to the Sandman walking out as well. This led to the match becoming an impromptu 6-Man Tag Match!*
4.) Rob Van Dam pinned Jack Victory after Tajiri blinded Rhino with green mist during the Gore attempt on The Sandman. That caused the blinded Rhino to gore Jack Victory instead, leading to the Five Star Frog Splash from RVD.
*Backstage, Elektra was shown talking to Paul Heyman. Heyman then agreed with whatever she wanted and left. EZ Money and Kid Kash then walked and asked her what that was all about. Elektra told them that she took care of this situation with Chris Hamrick and Julio Dinero. Now they just have to finish the job at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Cause whoever wins at the PPV will be ECW's only Hot Commodity and the losers will be forced to leave ECW. EZ Money then said that was the best news ever. Elektra and Kid Kash nodded in agreement too.*
5.) Lance Storm took Violent J to wrestling school tonight in the main event. But after he hit the Deep Impact piledriver, Shaggy 2 Dope distracted him during the pinfall. This lead to Lance Storm yelling at Shaggy and Violent J hitting Lance Storm in the back of the head with a bottle of FAYGO, knocking him out cold. Violent J then pinned Lance Storm for the victory.
*After the match, Justin Credible ran down to ringside and laid out Shaggy 2 Doge with a vicious Singapore cane shot to head. Violent J tried to attack Justin Credible, but was double teamed by both Impact Players. Lance Storm hit Violent J with a Superkick, laying him out cold as well. The Impact Players then posed in the ring over the fallen Violent J as the show ended there.*

4.) Impromptu Tag Match: The Sandman and Yoshihiro Tajiri (w/ New Jack) beat Jack Victory and Vic Grimes (w/ Steve Corino) when Sandman pinned Victory with the DDT.
SHOW RECAP:
*The show opened with Paul Heyman in the backstage area yelling at Justin Credible and Lance Storm. He told there would be consequences if Credible interfered on Hardcore TV. He did and now Justin Credible must face Shaggy 2 Dope in a match right now tonight. Justin Credible just laughed it off and said he would gladly. Heyman said since Credible is so confident about that, he advises him not to lose, as again, the consequences could be severe. Justin Credible then said he won't lose and left for the match.
The opening video package then aired.*
1.) Justin Credible's overconfidence was his downfall tonight, as he had the match won after a stiff superkick. But he chose to taunt the downed Shaggy afterwards and then spit on Violent J on the outside. Violent J was furious by this and Credible just smiled about it, flipping him off in response. He then went to pick up Shaggy for That's Incredible, but Shaggy turned it into a small package for the surprise upset!
*Shaggy 2 Dope immediately left the ring and ICP celebrated on the outside as The Impact Players looked on in the ring, in shock and disbelief.*
3.) Steve Corino beat New Jack, thanks to Vic Grimes. Vic Grimes came down to ringside and tripped up New Jack as he was going for the guitar shot on Steve Corino. Steve Corino then nailed the distracted New Jack from behind with the guitar for the win.
*After the match, Vic Grimes revealed to New Jack that his buddies, Chilly Willy and Redd Dogg, won't be here to save him now as Angel and DeVito jumped them in the back earlier on. Steve Corino, Vic Grimes, and Jack Victory then surrounded New Jack to finish the original gangsta off, but then "Enter Sandman" by Metallica began to pay signaling the arrival of The Sandman. But he wasn't alone either, he was coming out with Yoshihiro Tajiri as well!
This all led to an Impromptu tag match with Jack Victory and Vic Grimes taking on The Sandman and Tajiri!*
4.) New Jack recovered during the tag match and chased Vic Grimes to the back, leaving Jack Victory alone with both Sandman and Tajiri! Steve Corino tried to interfere but got the green mist from Tajiri, as a result. The Sandman then finished off Victory with the DDT for the victory.
*Tommy Dreamer and the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Sid Vicious, signed the contract for their "Stairway to Hell" Match at Hardcore Heaven 2000. But not without an extra stipulation being added to the match by Sid. Sid said he let Tommy pick the match, so if he loses this will be his last title shot as long as Sid is champion. Tommy Dreamer agreed to the stipulation, stating he beat the odds at Barely Legal and he will beat them again at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Sid said Dreamer is very wrong. Cause he still thinks this is his world. But it's not. It's Sid's World. And in Sid's World, only he is the Master and Ruler. Dreamer just smiled and said pride comes before the fall. And that's all Sid will do at Hardcore Heaven when Tommy Dreamer sends him to Hell. Both men then just stared holes through each other as the show faded to a close from there*

SHOW RECAP:
*Show opens with a recap of the contract signing for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship this Sunday on PPV at Hardcore Heaven 2000. Also showed the entire history between ICP and The Impact Players this past week in ECW.
After the opening video package, Paul Heyman came down to the ring and told the Impact Players to join him now as it concerns their immediate future. Justin Credible and Lance Storm come down to the ring and Paul Heyman says he will not waste anymore time out here than he has to. So, he then immediately announces that this Sunday at Hardcore Heaven 2000 in Detroit, The Impact Players will defend their ECW World Tag Team Championships against the Insane Clown Posse! The Impact Players were not too happy about this announcement but could do nothing about it as Paul Heyman just left the ring without listening to their pleas.
Backstage after the break, Paul Heyman is now shown standing by with the teams of Los Amigos Locos (Super Crazy and Psicosis), Spike and Balls (Spike Dudley and Balls Mahoney), and Chris Cetti & Nova. He then told the teams that at the PPV, they will all face off in the Three-Way Dance, with the winning team becoming the new Top Contenders to the tag titles. All three teams loved this announcement too.*
2.) The Sandman beat Vic Grimes by countout when New Jack came down to ringside to antagonize him. Grimes would have none of it, running away in fear.
*After the match, New Jack told everybody that Grimes will not be able to hide in their Hardcore Cage Match and that Vic's white ass is now on 5-day notice. But that is Sunday, and tonight New Jack still wants to fight a white boy. Especially Steve Corino. Steve Corino came out and said he beat New Jack last week so he has no reason to fight him again. But Jack Victory will gladly kick his ass tonight.*
3.) Jack Victory did not like being fed to the wolves by his best friend Steve Corino. And when that wolf is an pissed off New Jack, you wouldn't be happy either. New Jack took his anger out on poor Jack Victory and pinned him with the 187.
*After the match, Steve Corino tried to come up from behind New Jack and nail him with the guitar like last week. But this time, New Jack saw it coming. Steve Corino then threw down the guitar and begged for mercy. He would get none from New Jack though. But as New Jack went to hit Corino with it, Rhino nailed him with the GORE! All three men then put the boots to New Jack until "Walk" by Pantera began to play over the PA system. Rob Van Dam then ran out with Tommy Dreamer to make the save, starting the main event tag match.....*
4.) Rob Van Dam and Tommy Dreamer seemed well on the way to a victory, as RVD brawled with Rhino on the outside and Tommy Dreamer hoisted Corino up for the Spicolli Driver. Jack Victory then ran in and kicked Tommy low, allowing Corino to escape certain doom. Corino then nailed Dreamer with the Old School Expulsion for the victory.
*Corino then celebrated his victory over Tommy Dreamer in the ring with Jack Victory until Yoshihiro Tajiri ran out and started brawling with both men, leaving Tommy Dreamer all by himself in the ring. The ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Sid Vicious, then walked out onto the stage and began to mockingly clap for Dreamer's effort tonight. Tommy Dreamer just laid on the mat and stared back at Sid, unable to do anything else. The show then ended with Sid raising the belt high over his head, with Tommy Dreamer mouthing something, while staring back at Sid.*

SHOW RECAP:
*Paul Heyman declared tonight was night of 6-Man Tag Matches as the final hype for Hardcore Heaven this Sunday on PPV. Everybody on the show will wrestle tonight, including the ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Sid Vicious.*
1.) Chris Chetti and Nova built some momentum of their own leading to this Sunday's Top Contender's Three Way Dance. Nova and Psicosis worked together to eliminate the much bigger Balls Mahoney first, then Nova nailed Psicosis with the Novacaine (Complete Shot) for the win.
*Backstage, Sid Vicious was not happy about being told by Paul Heyman that he would have to wrestle in the night's main event. Nobody tells Sid what to do apparently.*
2.) This is a broken record occurrence now, as Vic Grimes again ran away during the match from New Jack.
*After the match, New Jack said this Sunday there is no more running for poor Vic Grimes inside that cage. This Sunday, Grimes's white ass belongs to New Jack.*
3.) Rhino has to be stopped, that is really all that can be said now. Rhino took his rampage too far tonight when piledrove Bill Alphonso through the ringside table during the 6-Man. This lead to the distraught RVD falling victim to the single most devastating move in all of professional wrestling, the surprise roll-up by Steve Corino, from behind for the loss.
*After the match, Bill Alphonso was put on stretcher and wheeled to the back with an emotional RVD watching on and following them. After Bill Alphonso was loaded into the ambulance, RVD got in as well. Before it left, RVD was asked about his ECW World Television Title match with Rhino this Sunday. RVD, for the first time in a really long time, turned very serious for a moment, and said "Title or no title, Rhino was now a dead man walking" and then slammed the ambulance door closed. The ambulance then left on that note.*
4.) Sid Vicious refused to tag into the match and wrestle. In fact, he walked out of the match halfway through it while again repeating what he said earlier "Nobody tells ME what to do! I don't wrestle for free!" as he left.
*After the match backstage, Heyman confronted Sid Vicious. Heyman told him not to ever do that again. Vicious said he'll do it again and again. Heyman said then he won't be the ECW World Heavyweight Champion anymore. Sid Vicious said oh yes he will be, cause if Heyman tries to do that, he will walk out of the company and take the title with him like Mike Awesome did. Heyman said he can't do that. Sid then smiled and said he can and he will. He then left. Paul Heyman then just stood there in silence while shaking his head as the show ended there.*

BILL ALPHONSO, SERIOUSLY INJURED BY RHINO!
As a result of that brutal piledriver through the ringside table by Rhino, Bill Alphonso will not be returning to action in ECW for a while. Word going around the ECW Locker Room, is that early diagnosis is some sort of neck and spinal injury. On that note, we at ECWwrestling.com, would like to wish Bill Alphonso the best of luck on speedy recovery too.
