ECW Hardcore TV
5/wk3/96

Missy Hyatt of all people starts the show with a mic in her hands, informing us that we're gonna see something good. ECW has a future star on their hands tonight, and she is very pleased to introduce him to herself, er, to you all. Please give a warm welcome to....ROCKY MAIVIA! Rocky comes out and informs us that his friends call him The Rock. He's gonna lay a smack down on anybody who gets in his way, Network or ECW or anybody else! (C-; Rock's Anti-Hero gets Great; Missy gets a new catchphrase) The Pitbulls roll through the Bad Crew to retain in a forgettable match. (D-)

Scorpio and Parka are still celebrating Scorpio's title win, and Parka's involvement therein! The Network got what was coming to them, and now ECW can have a champion they'll be proud of! (D+) Stevie teams up with Sabu to take on the pairing of Windham and Dreamer. Windham and Dreamer are starting to show signs of strain in their relationship, and a series of miscues allows Stevie to pick up the big win and finally get a leg up on them both. (C)

The Network are in the ring. Last night...was a disappointment. Douglas let that worthless thug Scorpio get the title! But, Alfonso will fix ECW, starting with the Network itself. It's time for a bit of a shakeup! The Steiners come out to the ring! The wrestling members of the Network are not particularly sure what to think of this....and the Steiners jump Douglas! Whipwreck and Jericho seem unsure whether or not to get involved, and wind up standing by while the Steiners punk out the former champ, to Alfonso's delight. Alfonso poses with the Steiners over Douglas, and Whipwreck and Jericho are coerced into hesitant participation. (B-)

Our main event is Cactus vs. Chavo for no particular reason. Chavo puts up a good fight, but can't quite get it done against the hardcore legend. (B-) Cactus toots his own horn for a bit, saying that Whipwreck found out the hard way what he should've already known- that Cactus was a big, bad, man. Speaking of which, Big & Strong seem to have taken offense to that statement, and demonstrate their own bigness and badness (and numbers advantage) by laying him out! (C+)

Overall: C+ SUCCESS
