ECW on TNN 12/24/99
This (E)X(treme)-Mas Eve edition came from the Nashville Municipal Auditorium, which was were WCW ran Starrcade for 3 years in a row before moving to the MCI Center in DC.
Joel and Joey start the show in the ring when Cyrus comes out and says the Office wants a redo of the opening segment because they don't like Joel's gimmick. Joel says there is no ECW Office. "The kid's smart, the rib's over." As it turns out, Cyrus works for TNN! SWERVE! He also announces Takana vs Awesome next week for the title. Judge Jeff Jones Dudley Judy Mathis says all title shots have to go through him. He name dropped Spike Dudley, which brought Spike out. Acid Drop to Judge Joe Brown. Awesome came out. He laid out Spike while pointing at Tanaka. Then he press slammed Spike from the ring into the front row. Tanaka jumps in the ring, but the fight is broken up by security. Cyrus wants the match to happen and convinces Paul to go with it by telling him to have some balls. It's on!

It goes to the floor right away. Running chair shot from Tanaka. Dive over the guard rail from Awesome. It gets back in the ring where Awesome hits a diving lariatooo. Sitout Awesome Bomb. Running Awesome Bomb off the apron through a table!

After a break we come back to see a frog splash. Tanaka kicked out. German suplex into a table from Tanaka. It looked like Mike's head bounced off the top and his lower back is the only thing that went through the table.

Tornado DDT on some chairs. 2 count. Diving elbow with a chair onto another chair on Mike's face.

Some gross chair shots from Awesome. I'm STUNNED that Tanaka hasn't pulled a Benoit yet. Another Awesome Bomb. Tanaka still kicked out. Standing Tornado DDT from the top rope through a table! 12HEGOTIMNOHEDIDN'T!

Roaring Elbow! NEW CHAMPION! A handshake after the match. Clothesline. It was a SWERVE! Awesome Bomb to the floor! Most of Tanaka's torso missed the table.

TO THE BACK. Cyrus congratulates Awesome on the great match. Awesome throws him up against the wall. "I'M OFFICE, KAYFABE, I'M OFFICE!" He then blames Paul E. for making the match because Paul only cares about ratings. Mike says he's going to fuck things up between ECW and FMW and he's going to kill Tanaka next week.
Super Crazy vs Ikuto Hidaka
A rematch from a few shows ago. POKEMON!
TO THE BACK. Rhino/Corino/Victory come out of a locker room with bloody hands and a bloody chair. They beat the shit out of Balls.
Lucha indie RESPECK stand off. Of course. Springboard rana from Pokeball. Whisper in the wind into the crowd! It gets back in the ring where Crazy hits a springboard drop kick and moonsault for a 2 count. Rolling Romero Special. Lol, Joel makes fun of TNN and Rollerjam. Pokemon does a German suplex into a knee bar. Then they run through some
Crazy/Tajiri sequences and Crazy wins with a spinning Liger bomb.

TO THE BACK. Mike Awesome attempts to attack Paul, but only found Lou E. Dangerously. Jeff said he's responsible for Mike's success, which made Mike stop mid piss to choke Jeff.
Da Baldies vs Tommy Dreamer/Raven ECW Tag Team Championships
Joel says that Francine looks very CUNT..try this week. Funny, I was going to say Raven looked pretty cunty every week.
TO THE BACK. The Impact Players pound their stick and say time is up for the champs. "Put that in your Y2J and smoke it!" What does that mean, Lance? That you want to smoke weed using Jericho as a bong?
We don't even see the match because as soon as they came back to the ring, the Impact Players were attacking. Raven is chained up on the entrance and Justin canes him in the head. Justin also licked Raven's face, which was creepy as fuck.

I feel like almost every Mike Awesome gif is a perfect GET OUT gif.
