ECW on TNN 10/29/99
Taz vs Sabu TONIGHT! I bet the fans are going to be all over Taz. The show opens with a Paul E. voice over about Dawn Marie and Sunny. Francine vows to stop Dawn Marie as the Catfight Warz of '99 continue on the Friday Night THRIIIILLLLZZOOONNNEEE!!!!!
Joel's tag lines suck on TNN. They're not even worth repeating. They introduce the next match as being between the only two ECW Grand Slam Champions in history. This is really the opener?
Taz vs Sabu
Taz gets some heat, but nothing like what they gave him at the PPV. No "you sold out" chants, just booing. Not sure why Joey did the ring announcements for this. From main event of the first ECW PPV to opener on TNN. Some general brawling and it goes to the floor. A table gets placed between the ring and apron and we go to commercial. After the break, Sabu DDTs Taz on the entrance ramp. It goes back in the ring where Sabu hits a dropkick to the knee and a springboard side kick for a two count. Flipping release German Tazplex. Super Frankensteiner. Sabu goes face first into a chair.

A table is now in the ring. Alabama Slam through it. Taz randomly does a flipping senton off the top. He missed. A table is set up in the corner. Sabu throws a chair in Taz's face and then leg drops him through the table. He mostly missed Taz, though. Another table is set up. Sabu wins with a guillotine leg drop through the table.

The Impact Players attack Sabu after the match. RVD makes the save. Sabu and Rob fight. Taz puts RVD in the Tazmission. Sabu stomps Rob while he's in it and shoves Fonzie away. Taz giggles and walks out. Aces and Eights BROTHA! Two steps ahead!
Coming up next, someone gets under the skin of Paul E.! We'll also get Dreamer vs Storm tonight.
TO THE ECW ARENA. Sign Guy Dudley arrived as Lou E. Dangerously, which pissed off Paul. Mikey Whipwreck returned to ECW in a loss against Mike Awesome.
Lance Storm vs Tommy Dreamer
This is the same building where Lance broke Tommy's back. Lance attacks as Tommy is getting in the ring, but Tommy hits a pop up low blow. They go into the crowd. Beer to the face! Devastating. Tommy gets suplexed on the floor. He was trying one, so he would have hurt his back anyway. Back into the crowd. Tommy leaves and comes back with a ladder. He naturally misses a rope walk elbow on it on the ramp.

Lance gets thrown into a ladder in the ring and hit with a DVD. CAT FIGHT! Raven comes out and DDTs Dreamer (again) and Lance makes the pin. Credible walks out and hits Raven with a cane on the ramp. Dreamer chases the Impact Players off. Then the whole thing is replayed for like 6 minutes. Raven talks and then attacks Tommy. Tommy hits a DDT. I'm not interested in this feud at all. Wasn't interested in anything with them after 1997.
TO THE BACK. Nova says he's dedicating the rest of his matches to Chris Chetti until Chetti is able to return to the ring.
Da Baldies vs Nova/David Cash
I guess it doesn't happen since Roadkill and Doring were in the ring after the break. They all beat up on Nova. Balls and Axl come out for the save. A chair is destroyed on Doring's head. Lita faces off with them, but Jazz hits her with a chair. Overly long celebration with them. Like, almost all of the Big Balls cover played.

TO THE BACK. Raven talks about Tommy, Justin, and Lance. I think he called both himself and Justin rapists. Interesting choice to end the show on. Calling people rapists.
