ECW on TNN 9/17/99
The show opened with Dreamer and Raven retaining their titles against Rhino and Jack Victory in the ECW Arena. I guess Raven just popped up at the end again. Dreamer was wrapped in barbed wire.
TO THE BACK. Cyrus is in the back with Fonzie. He announces the ban on Sabu has been lifted at Anarchy Rulz and he will be facing Justin Credible! Sabu pops into frame as Fonzie crack rambles.
To open the show, Joel had a particularly lame intro which was just a Milli Vanilli reference.
PN News vs Spike Dudley
PN News? For real? "If you come from Philly, you must be gay." PN's flow is straight up stolen from PG-13. Spike wins in a minute.
TO THE BACK. NEWS ALERT ECW Superstar injured! An ambulance is shown. But who is limo?!?
Super Crazy vs Tajiri
This more or less starts with Tajiri doing an Asai moonsault into the crowd.

Crazy dodges and hits a 10 count punch in the corner. Handspring elbow, German suplex, and basement drop kick int he mouth from Tajiri. Crazy reverses a suplex and hits a stiff twisty powerbomb for the win. Really short.

TO THE PLAYGROUND. Raven's first comments since returning happen in...a playground? At night? He talks about the Dreamer feud and a lot of clips of it are shown. He claims he let Dreamer win on his last night because Tommy was ready to graduate. I think he either implied he was Jesus or the Anti-Christ and has already been crucified for Tommy's sins. So he's like an evil guardian angel?
Lance Storm and Dawn Marie come out, but they aren't on the format!
Lance Storm vs RVD ECW TV Championship
Jerry Lynn was the one in the ambulance. Lance attacks with a plancha to the floor and a springboard drop kick in the ring. Lance does a chair shot that doesn't get booed. Progress. RVD hit a top rope Van Daminator, which caused Justin Credible to hit the ring.

The crowd chanted for Sabu, but got Jerry Lynn and were definitely bummed. Johnny Smith also comes out and helps the Impact Players. The Impact Players stand tall.
After the break, RVD is still in the ring and mad. He still wants to have the match with Jerry.
RVD vs Jerry Lynn ECW TV Championship
Even when they're both injured they do silly duck 20 moves kind of sequences. "Jerry Lynn is the gutsiest wrestler I've ever seen." Ever? Jerry Lynn? RVD tries the guardrail Vandaminator. Jerry reverses and hits him with the chair, then does a bulldog on a chair. But RVD hits a regular Vandaminator a few seconds later. I have to say, I'm getting sick of this match already. Most of the same spots of their last show, just in a slightly different order or with a few reversals first. Jerry gets knocked off the apron through the time keeper's table.

Jerry apparently reinjures his already taped up ribs. Ref staff and Judge Jeff Jones come out and help him to the back. But he comes back! Game on! Jerry gets a few near falls. Superplex. Oh good, another roll up sequence. Jerry gets out of the way of the frog splash and does a roll up....TWO COUNT!!! Vandaminator for the win a few seconds after that.
A run down for that weekend's Anarchy Rulz PPV.
