00:00Hello everyone and welcome to ECW on TNN!
00:30We are here in sunny Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I'm Joey Stiles, and well, well, well, it
00:49is I, the quintessential stud muffin, Joel, deport that kid from Cuba!
00:58In fact, send them all back in mass!
01:17Send them back, send them back!
01:24Send them back, send them back!
01:31Furthermore, take the entire country and shove it straight up, Castros!
01:39Cut his mic!
01:40Cut!
01:41Cut!
01:42Cut!
01:43Cut!
01:44Don't!
01:45Would you cut his damn mic?
01:46What am I paying you for?
01:47God damn!
01:48Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sure you're just as sick as I am of seeing some biscuit-fed
01:53porker get himself over at the expense of the talent.
01:56You know, Joel, I tell you over and over every week, perhaps you'd like to be seconded to
02:00the rock and roll set and do some colour commentary there.
02:03I could have you doing the one-legged chicken ass the next time someone gets a spare!
02:06You see, Joel, when I was running my own promotion in Canada, we never tolerated stuff like this.
02:11You've not only got heat with the office, you've not only got heat with the boys, you
02:15now have heat, Joel, with the network.
02:17And Joel, you do not want heat with the network.
02:21I could have you be-
02:23Take it easy now, Daddy.
02:24You're not gonna do this.
02:25I'm doing this.
02:26I'm doing it right now.
02:27All right.
02:28Let's make him pay to see this, man.
02:30This is a big money match, Daddy.
02:32Big money.
02:33This ain't about the fans, Fonzie.
02:34This ain't about-
02:35You get it, don't you?
02:36I get it, but man.
02:37This is about something.
02:38No.
02:39He wants this.
02:40The fans want it.
02:41I want to do this, Fonzie.
02:42I was begging him right now.
02:44This is not the time.
02:45I know he's in there.
02:46Door number three.
02:47Bingo, Daddy.
02:48Look, no smoking, Daddy.
02:49Ha!
02:50Too late.
02:51Bandamo, baby.
02:52Do not do this.
02:53Don't do this.
02:54Holy shit.
02:55Come on.
02:56You know what the I'm here for?
02:57Well, the .
02:58Come on, man.
02:59Come on.
03:00Hey, secure it, man.
03:01All right.
03:02.
03:03.
03:04Come on.
03:05Get out.
03:06Get out.
03:07Get out.
03:08Get out.
03:09Get out.
03:10Get out.
03:11Get out.
03:12Get out.
03:13Get out.
03:14Get out.
03:15Get out.
03:16Get out.

03:18Get out.
03:19Get out.
03:20Get out.
03:21Get out.
03:22Hey, get the camera out of here.
03:23Come on.
03:24Get it out of here.
03:25All the way out.
03:26Come on.
03:27Get out.
03:28All the way.
03:29Come on.
03:30Get that camera out of here.
03:31Ladies and gentlemen, the network TNN will not tolerate this sort of violence.
03:38Now roll that open.
03:39.
03:49.
03:56.
04:01.
04:03.
05:33It is now time to see the return to the ring of the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
05:38Anything to add?
05:40Why, so Cyrus can cut me off again?
05:42Steve Carino and Rhino accompanied by Jack Victory awaiting their opponents, Tommy Dreamer and the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes, who returns to wrestling after a six-year absence.
06:01And how unfair it is that Steve Carino, in the prime of his career, has to face a bloodthirsty, hardcore, hedonist like the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
06:14No less, right here in Florida, where Dusty Rhodes propagated all of his hardcore propaganda.
06:21What the hell are you talking about?
06:24Steve Carino set up Dusty Rhodes for Rhino time and time again.
06:30He deserves whatever the Dream dishes out here tonight.
06:34I don't think so, but luckily for Steve Carino, Rhino has a foot that's gonna kick Tommy Dreamer right in his ass.
06:43In fact, Rhino's foot might just be big enough that it can kick Dusty Rhodes' entire ass.
06:51We're at the War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
06:56I know where we are.
06:58The Dream's old stomping grounds.
07:01And tonight, Dusty Rhodes returns to the ring to team with the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer, against Steve Carino and Rhino.
07:15And the fans are on their feet for the American Dream.
07:21.
07:40Terino's best fit is to hide behind Rhino tonight.
07:44You're absolutely right.
07:46As we can see in the OneWrestling.com replay,
07:49Dusty Rhodes having the unmitigated goal to attack poor defenseless,
07:55legendary old timer Tommy Rich.
07:59Thankfully, Rhino was there to even up the sides and
08:03take out Dusty Rhodes, the Barnyard Bullies.
08:09Is that how you see this?
08:11Dusty Rhodes picking on the old timer.
08:15From Yonkers, New York, he's the innovator of violence, Tommy Dreamer.
08:25I mean, you do know that Rich is younger than Rose, don't you?
08:28His tag team partner weighs in a night at an even 300 pounds.
08:35And hails from Tampa, Florida.
08:42He's the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
08:51History will be made in just a few moments.
08:53Don't go away.
08:55Raven, confide in me, son.
09:03Tell me your troubles.
09:05Let it out.
09:06It's all bottled up in there.
09:07You know what my problem is?
09:10My problem is, why does Tommy think he needs Francine to plot his strategy for him and Dusty?
09:18I mean, I think Tommy just doesn't want her to talk to me.
09:21Who's supposed to listen to my problems?
09:24Oh, what the are you doing?
09:26Come on, get out of here.
09:28Get out of here.
09:30Can't you tell that this guy is disturbed?
09:32Makes him a perfect disciple, wouldn't he say?
09:34Get the out of here.
09:36God damn it, man.
09:38Scotty, what is wrong with you?
09:40This guy is not even a real priest.
09:42It doesn't matter, Paulie.
09:44At least he's listening to me.
09:46What about you?
09:48Do you ever return my phone calls?
09:50No.
09:52Sit down.
09:54This has to stop.
09:55This really has to stop.
09:57I've heard about this now for months.
10:00I don't sin against anybody but myself.
10:03I have been sacrificed for Tommy Dreamer's sins.
10:06I have been sacrificed for Francine's sins.
10:09Scotty, you have got to snap out of this.
10:14Snap out of it?
10:15You've got to snap out of this.
10:17If I snap out of it, Paulie, I'm just going to snap.
10:20I'm sick to death of this, Paulie.
10:21I will sin against myself and never more.
10:26You're going down the wrong path again.
10:28You're going down the wrong path.
10:29And this time, you're never going to be able to come back.
10:31I cannot help you if you go down this path.
10:36Have you ever helped me before?
10:42Tommy Dreamer, we've been through this many, many times.
10:50No one here wants to see me destroy you once again.
10:58And since last week, my man Rhino single-handedly destroyed you,
11:05I want you to turn around and tag that fat, old, pathetic piece of garbage.
11:17Because tonight is my night.
11:20I think Steve Grino just signed his own death warrant, Joel.
11:28Dreamer, I'll make it real simple for you one more time.
11:43You tag the fat, disgusting man that started hardcore wrestling here in Florida.
11:53Or I'll sick Rhino want you so bad, you'll never make another television appearance.
12:00And that's not just a threat, Joey. That's a promise.
12:06Tommy Dreamer is just dying to drive his fish through Carino's face.
12:11But that's the mind game.
12:16Dreamer's not going to. There it is.
12:18Tags in Dusty Rhodes.
12:27And school is in session.
12:30Old school that is, Mr. Carino.
12:32Dusty's giving Steve Carino the first shot.
12:44He is inviting Steve Carino to rear back and hit up.
12:49Dusty Rhodes wants to take Carino's best shot right here in the opening minutes of this matchup.
12:57I don't know if that's a wise idea.
12:58Steve Carino has so many tricks from that long career of his in the old school style.
13:04What?
13:09Carino cowers from the Bionic elbow.
13:13And the man monster Rhino tags himself in.
13:16Tommy Dreamer steps in between the Dream and Rhino.
13:20And it's the Bull of the Woods against the Rhino of the Ring.
13:24And Dusty Rhodes politely asked Tommy to step out of the ring.
13:29He wants Rhino.
13:30Breaking the eyes.
13:32Double leg takedown.
13:34And the American Dream may be looking for...
13:42The figure four leg lock.
13:44He's trying to lock it off those huge legs.
13:47Jack Victory comes in to break it up.
13:49And Dreamer slaps the figure four on Jack Victory.
13:52Oh, what an opportunist.
13:54What a dirty player.
13:55Victory just getting over the leg injury.
13:57Francine takes Steve Carino down.
14:00And we've got three figure four.
14:13Look at Francine.
14:14I can tell you what I would use that figure for.
14:16I can tell you what I would use that figure for.
14:16I can tell you what I would use that figure for.
14:18I can tell you what I would use that figure for.
14:19Carino, Rhino, and Victory have all left the ring.
14:26Streamer Rhodes and Francine are standing tall here in Fort Lauderdale.
14:31If you had seven inch heels, you'd be standing tall.
14:39Dusty Rhodes going right out after Steve Carino.
14:42Throws him headlong into the steps.
14:44Dreamer does the same with Rhino into the steel guard rail.
14:49Carino into the set.
14:51Rhino over the guard rail this time.
14:53Carino has been busted open by the American Dream.
14:57One, two, three.
15:01Carino thrown into that chain link part of our TNN set.
15:12Knife and chop, reversal, and Dreamer hits that chair in the steel guard rail.
15:18Remember, Tommy Dreamer against Doctors Order,
15:21wrestling with two herniated discs in his back,
15:25and will do so for the rest of his career.
15:31Carino and Dreamer both thrown back in.
15:33Dreamer continues to go after Rhino.
15:38And Carino's a mess.
15:40Because he's a victim of Dusty Rhodes and the chaotic hardcore carnage
15:46that Dusty invented in Florida.
15:48Did you hear what Carino called Dusty at the onset of this matchup?
15:52Yes.
15:54He called Dusty fat, old, and disgusting.
15:58And you think that Dusty Rhodes wasn't gonna bloody Carino here in Florida?
16:03Carino is finished.
16:05Dreamer is keeping Rhino at bay, and Dusty Rhodes is toying with Steve Carino,
16:11and now he tags in Dreamer.
16:15Carino's time for the ride, takes a pair of elbows to that chest.
16:22Dreamer now measuring Steve Carino.
16:26Drops his own version of Dusty's bionic elbow.
16:29Little tribute to the American Dream right there, and Dusty's on the apron loving it.
16:38And Carino again thrown to the outside, where he has spent the majority of this matchup taking a beating.
16:45And that's not what Steve Carino earns the common people's money to do.
16:52Rhino goes right after the discs of Tommy Dreamer, and then crutches him on the steel guard rim.
16:59Again, Rhino has basically saved the life of Steve Carino.
17:03The man monster Rhino now picking his shots and stomping away on the innovator of violence.
17:15Tommy Dreamer desperately trying to pull himself using the zip line to get to Dusty Rhodes,
17:21but he's in the wrong corner, and now on the wrong end of Rhino's boots.
17:25Solid right hand at the temple of Tommy Dreamer.
17:35Dreamer sent to the right.
17:36Rhino goes Dreamer in the corner.
17:47Rhino now strangling Tommy Dreamer on that top rope,
17:50to the delight of a bloody Steve Carino.
17:53Dreamer's in trouble if he doesn't make the tag real soon.
18:01I think Rhino wanted to tag in Carino.
18:04We don't want to know part of Tommy Dreamer, even though Dreamer's down.
18:08Very courageous, that young man.
18:10He's picking his spot. He'll be in shortly.
18:13Dreamer planted and the 290 pound Rhino goes up top and hits the splash on Dreamer.
18:27That may be all, no, Dreamer gets out at two.
18:30Two count only says referee Jim Molino.
18:33Tommy Dreamer has got to tag the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.
18:37And he has got to tag in soon or Rhino is going to finish him off.
18:45Francine rallying the fans here at the sold out war memorial behind Tommy Dreamer,
18:51who is suplexed by Rhino, lateral press.
18:56Barely at two.
18:57Grino complaining about a slow count.
19:02And again, it seems that Rhino is ascending the turnbuckle.
19:07Twice in one matchup, uncharacteristic.
19:10And Rhino got caught and crunched.
19:16Dreamer's cinching up Rhino.
19:19Superplex in the middle of the ring.
19:21Now is Tommy Dreamer's chance.
19:23Now is the time.
19:25Tommy Dreamer has got to tag in Dusty Rhodes.
19:28But does he have anything left?
19:30He can barely move.
19:31Look at him.
19:33He's rolling towards his partner.
19:37Rhino makes the tag.
19:38In comes Carino.
19:38No, Dreamer's not going to get the tag.
19:40He did.
19:41He did.
19:41The Dream is in.
19:42The Dream is in.
19:49Carino's down.
19:53Dreamer takes out Rhino.
19:57Carino is left all alone with the American Dream.
20:02They're in opposite turnbuckles.
20:09Dusty and Dreamer raining punches down on the skulls of Rhino and Carino.
20:18Reversal and Rhino gorge Dreamer again.
20:22But Carino goes down and hard.
20:25Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
20:27Stoop and a slam on the 290-pound Rhino.
20:33Dusty missed the bye-in-a-kill bow.
20:35Rhino saw it coming.
20:38And he close lies the dream.
20:40And Dusty Rhodes hit Rhino at that elbow.
20:43This matchup would have been over, Joel.
20:45But he didn't.
20:47And now Rhyno on Dusty Rhodes.
20:49And we've seen this before, Joey.
20:52Steve Carino now going up top.
20:55Rhyno setting up Dusty Rhodes.
20:58Dreamer with the steel chair on Rhyno.
21:01Right between the eyes as well.
21:03Tommy Dreamer wants Steve Carino along with Dusty Rhodes.
21:07DDT on the steel chair.
21:11Carino goes for the ride.
21:13Here it comes.
21:16Bionic elbow and a cover.
21:33To no one's surprise,
21:35Tommy Dreamer and Dusty Rhodes victorious in this matchup.
21:40You gotta give Tommy Dreamer a lot of credit.
21:41Tommy Dreamer a lot of credit for taking on Rhyno so Dusty could be alone with Steve Carino.
21:48Everybody knows that elbow floated with a space age polymer that's found in Uranus.
21:59Coming up next, an interview with the impact players on Marine in a hot zone.
22:05And Rob Van Dam in action.
22:07Honey, look how I'm alive.
22:14Fighting champions from Calgary, we want to defend these belts night in and night out.
22:19The problem is, we don't want to demean them by defending against inferior talent.
22:23We're just waiting for the right team to step up.
22:27So guys, go ahead, fight amongst yourselves.
22:31Kill each other for all I care.
22:33When the right team steps up, trust me, we'll let you know.
22:38You know what?
22:40The club manager's naked.
22:41Absolutely.
22:42Alright, they'll make me a star in TNN.
22:44I'm gonna get naked, you ready?
22:46I can't get this.
22:47I love naked.
22:48What the hell?
22:49Oh, Jason, it's hot here.
22:50It's hot.
22:51The water's hot.
22:52And it's also very deep.
22:54Oh, Jason.
22:59Things are heating up here at ECW.
23:03New World Tag Team Champions and everybody in the locker room is going for a shot at the
23:10gold.
23:11Danny Doyle and Roadkill are no exceptions to that rule.
23:15Just imagine the team that truly deserves a shot at the belts, holding the straps around
23:22their waist.
23:23That's right.
23:24It's gonna be a reality.
23:25Just imagine the money that comes with being the champions.
23:30Just imagine all the fame we will get when we're tag team champions.
23:36And most importantly, and you know it's true, all the women.
23:42Women?
23:43Daniel Christopher Doran.
23:47If you win when, not if, when you win those tag team belts, you better not ever forget
23:55where you came from.
23:56Or else, wait a minute, wait a minute.
24:01What's the shot?
24:02Three quarter.
24:03Move up a little bit.
24:06Move up a little bit more.
24:09Ah!
24:10Oh shoot!
24:11Let it go!
24:12Let it go!
24:13Let it go!
24:14Let it go!
24:15Let it go!
24:16Let it go!
24:17You forget where you came from?
24:19I'll snap it right off.
24:21And you, Miss Dawn Marie, you think you're half the woman compared to this?
24:27Is that what you think?
24:29Let me tell you something, girlfriend.
24:32Next time I see you, I'm gonna kick your ass.
24:38Chickens!
24:39Pfft!
24:40Electra's got Danny by his, uh...
24:41Danaconda!
24:42Chickens
24:48Electra's got Danny by his
24:53Danaconda
24:54It's like they're married already
24:56I mean these volatile marriages
24:58They never work out
25:00Dick Burton and Liz Taylor
25:01Sean Penn and Madonna
25:03ECW and TNN
25:05There's nothing worse than an overbearing
25:09Unappreciative spouse
25:11Right now on ECWWrestling.com
25:14First time ever
25:15Real audio interview with Tajiri
25:17And Super Crazy
25:18And digital photos of the original ECW Catfight
25:22Coming up next
25:24Rob Van Dam defends the ECW
25:27World Television title
25:28Against the challenge
25:30Of Mikey Whipwreck
25:32I'm not a baby
25:36I'm not a baby
25:38I'm not a baby
25:40And all the mommies
25:42Are going to be very happy
25:44Because their kids
25:45Are going to grow up to be
25:46Just like me
25:48Because I was talented enough
25:51To pin Tuco Scorpio
25:53For the TV title
25:53I was hardcore enough
25:55To carry Cactus Jack
25:57To the tag team titles
25:59And I was extreme enough
26:01And I was extreme enough
26:01To take the swirl heavyweight title
26:04From the same room
26:05And after the match tonight
26:07Rob Van Dam
26:08All my friends
26:10Are going to come back
26:10To the locker room
26:11And raise glasses of hot cocoa
26:13To me the winner
26:14And the new
26:15ECW Television champion
26:18Mikey Whipwreck
26:21Bang
26:22The manager of champions
26:37Bill Alfonso
26:39Leads ECW's world television champion
26:44Rob Van Dam to the ring here
26:46At the War Memorial in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
26:50Rob Van Dam
26:52Has been the ECW World Television Champion
26:56Since April of 1998
27:00That means for 22 months
27:02He's held that belt
27:04And you think about how hard it is
27:07To even win a title
27:09In professional wrestling
27:11Most wrestlers
27:12Spend their entire careers
27:14Chasing a title
27:16Finding it hard to even get that one night
27:18Where they win
27:19How hard is it
27:20To defend a title
27:22On a night-by-night basis
27:23And Rob Van Dam
27:25Watched the title
27:26In April of 98
27:28And has been making
27:29Successful defenses
27:31For the last 20 months
27:33Unbelievable
27:34I mean, let's be real
27:38Can anyone out there
27:40Name every champion
27:43The WWF has had
27:45Since April of 1998
27:48It seems like their world title belts
27:51Change every 24 hours
27:53In WCW
27:55Hell, you can't find somebody
27:57In their own office
27:58Who can name every world champion
27:59They've had in the last two weeks
28:02I'm just trying to figure out
28:04What's the more impressive feat
28:06Holding the television title
28:08For 22 straight months
28:11Or being the man to take it away
28:14From the guy that did
28:15We may never know the answer
28:18Mikey Whitbrack apparently
28:20Had seen enough of Rob Van Dam's ring entrance
28:24I know I have
28:25Up and over the top
28:26With the Pescato
28:28Nails the longest reigning champion
28:32In the sport today
28:33Reversal both ways
28:36Side Russian legs sweep
28:38Rob Van Dam's head bounces off
28:40That steel guardrail
28:42Mikey Whitbrack
28:44No stranger to titles
28:46Here at ECW
28:47He has held them all
28:48Including the world television title
28:50Van Dam and Whitbrack
28:53Now going at it on the outside
28:54Head first into the steel ring post
28:57With Rob Van Dam
28:58Mikey now slingshots himself
29:03Off the ring post
29:04Takes over Rob Van Dam on the floor
29:07It might just take
29:08Somebody who's won the TV title before
29:11To be the guy
29:12That beats somebody
29:13Who's held it
29:14For this long
29:15Bill Alphonso rallying the fans
29:20Behind Rob Van Dam
29:21Fonzie is so instrumental
29:27In the success
29:28Of Rob Van Dam
29:30Mikey Whitbrack
29:32Lands the elbow
29:33Gets a two and a half
29:36Says referee
29:37John Peewee Moore
29:38Mikey Whitbrack
29:40Now ascending the turnbuckles
29:41Going all the way up top
29:43Beautiful hang time
29:46On the hooking clothesline
29:48Gets another two and a half
29:49Does Mikey Whitbrack
29:50You can hear Bill Alphonso
29:54At ringside
29:55Van Dam set for the ride
29:56Mikey went for the leapfrog
29:58Mistimed it
29:59Got caught
30:00Van Dam steps through
30:02And almost decapitates
30:03Mikey Whitbrack
30:05What a kick
30:07Van Dam possessing that
30:14Martial arts background
30:15That he utilizes
30:16Night in
30:17Night out
30:18With the greatest of success
30:20Combine that
30:21Martial arts ability
30:23With the fact that
30:23He's so strong
30:24And so flexible
30:25And so quick
30:26And so agile
30:27It's unbelievable
30:30Inverted atomic drop
30:32And a backflip
30:33There's the chair
30:34Van Dam surfboards it
30:38Into the very confused head
30:40Of Mikey Whitbrack
30:42And if Mikey wasn't thinking
30:43Clearly coming into this matchup
30:45Who knows what he's thinking now
30:47You know Joel
30:52Sooner or later
30:53It's gonna come down
30:54To a collision
30:54Between Rob Van Dam
30:56And the world heavyweight champion
30:59Mike Awesome
31:00Beat in singles competition
31:01Or in a tag team matchup
31:02I mean
31:03Van Dam's balance
31:04Unfinished business
31:05With Sabu
31:06We'd love to get
31:07Awesome and Sabu
31:08Versus Van Dam
31:09And little Spike Dunley
31:10Next week on TN
31:11And the week after
31:12We're at the pay-per-view
31:13At Living Dangerously
31:14Mikey hits the steel guard
31:18Where he's living dangerously
31:19Right now
31:20Van Dam almost broke him
31:21In half
31:22Did you see that kick
31:25That sidekick caught Mikey
31:28Right underneath the chin
31:29And lifted Mikey's 200 pounds
31:32Backwards
31:33Over that guard ramp
31:34Mikey Whitbrack on the outside
31:40Feeling the effects of that kick
31:42From Rob Van Dam
31:44Mr. Pay-Per-View
31:46Looking forward
31:47Undoubtedly
31:48To Living Dangerous
31:49The question is
31:53Will he still be
31:54The ECW World Television Champion
31:56Defending this title
32:00Night in and night out
32:01You just never know
32:02Mikey Whitbrack hung out
32:03To dry the tears in place
32:05Courtscrew
32:07Guantyne leg drop
32:09And that is why
32:15Rob Van Dam calls himself
32:17The whole effing show
32:19And that is why
32:21If you think
32:22Even in the back of your mind
32:24That you could do that
32:25You're gonna wind up
32:26With the back of your mind
32:28Against a headboard
32:29At the local hospital
32:31There are nights
32:32Where my imagination
32:33Isn't vivid enough
32:35For me to dream
32:36Of doing some of the things
32:38That I see
32:39From Rob Van Dam
32:40I'd like to be
32:41The poor guy
32:42On the receiving end
32:43Of some of those things
32:44You can't dream about
32:45Mikey Whitbrack
32:47Very slow getting up
32:49Rob Van Dam
32:56Arrived here
32:57In Fort Lauderdale
32:57Ready to fight
32:58Scratched the locker room
33:00Of the World Heavyweight Champion
33:02Rob Van Dam
33:04Cartwheel
33:04Backflips
33:05Gorgeous
33:06Gets a two and a half
33:08He kicked in the door
33:10Of Mike Awesome's locker room
33:12Doved over a table
33:14And attacked
33:15The World Heavyweight Champion
33:16Little Spike Dudley
33:18With the acid drop
33:19Put Judge Jeff Jones
33:21In an ambulance
33:21Outside the building
33:23As we speak
33:24Van Dam was ready
33:25He was looking for a
33:27God he was looking
33:29For a fight
33:30Mikey Whitbrack
33:32Maybe looking for his face
33:33Can you imagine
33:35How physically intense
33:37It's going to be
33:38When Rob Van Dam
33:39And Mike Awesome
33:40Are finally allowed
33:42To be in the ring
33:43Against each other
33:44I don't care if it's singles
33:46Or if it's in tag team action
33:48Rob and Spike
33:49Against Awesome and Sabu
33:51And whether it's
33:52Tomorrow night in Tallahassee
33:53Next week on TNN
33:55Or at the pay-per-view
33:56Can you imagine
33:58What an awesome
33:59Effin' show
34:00That's going to be
34:02The whole effin' show
34:03The whole effin' show
34:04Well Mike Awesome
34:05Is the World Heavyweight Champion
34:07Takes offense to the fact
34:08That Rob Van Dam
34:10Gets the ovation
34:11That he does
34:11That Rob Van Dam
34:13Brings down the house
34:14Everywhere we go
34:14That Rob Van Dam
34:16Calls himself
34:16The whole effin' show
34:18Quite frankly
34:19Awesome feels slighted
34:20Because he is
34:21The World Heavyweight Champion
34:23This issue
34:24Has become personal
34:25Well Van Dam
34:26Has a tendency
34:27To be arrogant
34:28Or cocky
34:29And I don't like
34:30That kind of personality
34:31Myself
34:32But you gotta give him credit
34:34He deserves
34:35The respect and adulation
34:37That he gets
34:38Mikey Whipwright
34:40With a waistlock
34:40Beautiful German
34:43Suplex on the chair
34:44Great cover by Mikey
34:45That was close
34:47That was as close
34:50As it gets
34:51Mikey Whipwright
34:52An inch away
34:53From once again
34:54Being World Television Champion
34:57Being World Television Champion
34:57Being World Television Champion
34:57Being World Television Champion
35:00Van Dam with a nice forearm
35:01Mikey with the go-behind
35:03Move
35:04Going for the pile driver
35:07On the chair
35:08Van Dam picks up Mikey
35:10Hooks the arm
35:11Pedigree on the steel chair
35:14The pedigree not enough
35:19To put away Rob Van Dam
35:21No matter who applies it
35:22Mikey Whipwright has the world television champion stun
35:30Can he capitalize
35:31He's going for the whippersnapper
35:32Here it comes
35:33Up and over goes Mikey
35:36Van Daminator
35:40Mikey took that steel chair
35:46And Van Dam's boot right across his forehead
35:49The challenger is down
35:52And Mikey Whipwright is not moving
35:55And Rob Van Dam looks like he is ready
36:03Willing and able to put Mikey away
36:06Here it comes
36:09Five star Frog Splash
36:13Cover
36:16One, two, three
36:19Mikey Whipwright put up a hell of a fight
36:37As have so many others
36:39But Rob Van Dam
36:4222 months and going strong
36:44Still the longest reigning champion
36:47In professional wrestling
36:49Still a world champion
36:50The world television champion
36:54The world heavyweight champion
36:56Mike Awesome is standing by in the parking lot
36:58Let's go to Mike Awesome
37:05Spike Dudley, Rob Van Dam
37:08They're load by manager up in that ambulance right now
37:11If you do, better get down on your knees
37:15And pray to God that he's okay
37:17Because if he's not
37:19I'm going to kick both of your asses
37:21No
37:22If he's not
37:23I'm going to break both of your
37:25F***ing backs
37:26And end your damn careers
37:28Yeah, that's what I'm going to do
37:30You hear me?
37:31That's what I'm going to do
37:32I'm going to F*** you guys up
37:34I'm going to F*** you up
37:36F*** you up
37:37F*** you up
37:39F*** you up
37:40Can you imagine what it will be like
37:42When the world heavyweight champion
37:44Mike Awesome collides
37:46With the world television champion
37:48Rob Van Dam
37:49Whether it's tomorrow night
37:50In Tallahassee, Florida
37:52Next week right here on TNN
37:54Or at the Living Dangerously Pay Per View
37:57On March 12th
37:58As you said Joel
38:00It's going to be an awesome, effing show
38:27What's he so eager?
38:37He's overflowing
38:38He's fewing with it
38:39You can see
38:40Even he
38:41Wants to see
38:42Rob Van Dam
38:43Against Mike Austin
38:45And that is exactly why
38:46Mike Austin wants to rip Van Dam's head off
38:49Those comments
38:50That his belt
38:51Is the number one belt
38:53That his belt means the most
38:55Mike Awesome is the World Heavyweight Champion.
38:58Rob Van Dam is the World Television Champion.
39:01Van Dam doesn't see it that way.
39:03He sees his title as the top belt and that enrages the six foot six,
39:09296 pound heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Awesome.
39:15And when these two finally collide in the wrestling ring, Joel,
39:19I can tell you the earth is going to shake.
39:23Rob Van Dam vs. Mike Awesome will make history.
39:43He has been the ECW World Television Champion since April 4th of 1998.
39:50And he has got his sights set on his former best friend, Sabu.
39:54And the six foot six, 296 pound heavyweight champion of the world, Mike Awesome.
40:01He is Rob Van Dam, and he is on a mission.
40:05Right now on ECWWWrestling.com,
