ECW Hardcore TV
Wk. 4, 6/96

Heyman comes out to announce the sad news that Scorpio was injured at the last PPV, and will have to vacate the title. Alfonso comes out to crow, and Douglas comes out to shut him up. Heyman yells for order, and has an idea that might for once make everybody happy. At Heat Wave, ECW, the Network, and the Wolfpac will select one representative each to compete for the vacant title...and the same procedure will hold for the TV and Tag titles as well! He'll give everybody a week to start figuring out their plans. (B-) Jericho's back from Japan, and teaming up with Chavo to defend his honor against Dreamer and Taz. Taz is starting to incorporate more shootfighting into his arsenal, and it serves him well enough for Dreamer to get the win over Jericho. (C-; Taz's MMA Bad Ass gets Average)

Stevie and Christian are in the ring to argue. Stevie thought they were friends, man. Christian doesn't involve himself with dumb losers any more than he does with dumb gimmicks, and that's why he's JOINING THE NETWORK. Stevie, however, is one step ahead of him, and he's JOINING THE WOLFPAC! (D+) They must kung-fu fight. Relative newcomer Christian holds his own well against the more established Richards. Regardless, Stevie gets the upper hand on his former partner, but at the expense of an accidental ref bump. Stevie gets the visual pin....then gets SPEARED IN HALF by Adam Impact in a Network shirt! That really outta give Christian an Edge. Impact drags Christian over Stevie, and wakes the ref up to count three. (D)

Woman corners Beulah to harrass her over winning last week's bikini contest. With Scorpio otherwise occupied (I keep forgetting Woman is managing him!) she has half a mind to kick Beulah's cute little butt. Beulah invites her to try, and there's a TENSE (but somehow sexy because it's ECW) STAREDOWN. (C) Mark Henry is generally "credited" for shelving Scorpio, so La Parka suits up for revenge. Fueled by righteous fury, Parka is able to give the big man a surprising amount of trouble, but he can't quite get the job done. Especially after Bam Bam Bigelow returns from injury to get in a few cheapshots! (D)

The Steiners corner Rock backstage and butter him up as a future star. Maybe he'd like to join the winning team and get a TV Title out of it! The Rock will consider these jabronies' offer. (B-) Main event: Cactus, Funk, and Sabu form an ECW all-star team against the Wolfpac's Douglas, Windham, and Whipwreck. Funk coming back is still the big story here, and he proves he belongs by serving as the driving force behind a face win. (C+)

Rating: C SUCCESS still not enough babez

-Windham suffers a Grade II Hamstring Contusion, probably Funk's fault.
-We wish Damien Kane and Lady Alexandra all the best in their future endeavors.
-Regional Battles: ECW first in all applicable.
-Douglas wants to put a blue dot over Christian's face
-Chavo thinks this Edge guy is going places
