Tornado DDT by Nova, missed Swanton bomb, and a spear in the corner, which has a table. 1, 2, 3, easy win at 32 seconds, although the match was already started when the show started.

ECW on TNN Intro. Joey Styles and Joel Gertner in the ring. We are in Houston, TX tonight. I'm Joey Styles....and well, well, well, I'm Joel "I was with this girl Alexis, she couldn't get over how great the sex is, we did it in the back of a Lexis, and I fucked her in Houston Texas" Gertner. LOL!! Cyrus comes out, as repetitive as it is. Didn't we run this angle many months ago? Cyrus dogs Gertner for his Heatwave stuff. Cyrus says he has his "wrestling" license, and he says Gertner will be his first opponent! Highway to Hell hits the speaker, and the injured Spike Dudley comes down. One tough mofo there. Cyrus questions Spike, and Spike says "on behalf of the locker room, and the kind people here in Texas, would you SHUT the FUCK up?".
Spike says Paul E. isn't here, as he has business to attend. Paul E. assigned Spike to be the booker. Spike says "forget about it" on his Joel Gertner match, and says his first opponent of the night will be the Sandman. Enter Sandman hits, and he's in the crowd. Time to waste some time here with beers... Be right back!

Match #4: Scotty Anton vs. Tommy Dreamer
Dreamer threw in a ladder. Dreamer and Anton walk around the crowd. Jack Victory tries to attack Jazz, but Jazz beats his ass. We are up high in the crowd. Typical Dreamer here. He's the innovator of violence? They SLOWLY crawl to the ring. They are on the outside, and Dreamer rigs the Ladder with the Guardrail. They are on the ring apron, and Dreamer is punching him like Buff punches WCW workers. Dreamer tries a bulldog into the Ladder, but since Anton is NOT hardcore, Dreamer takes the bump. Anton puts the ladder in the ring, and Anton punches him. Back in the ring, with Anton attacking Dreamer. God, Anton sucks! Triple H knee by Anton, and he then sets up the ladder on the 2nd turnbuckle. Reversal, as Anton took a bump into the ladder! Wow, hell has froze over!

Dreamer hits a top rope elbow, with a chair on Anton's face, 1, 2, 3 at 7 minutes and 37 seconds.
Winner: Tommy Dreamer
They show Billy Corgan's appearance from last week, because they can SMELL the ratings from last week. They hype BobRyder.com, since it has a written statement by Corgan and HOT Dawn Marie pictures. It's sort of like those kiddie reporters: ***GO To ECWWrestling.com for some SEXY and ALMOST NUDE Dawn Marie Pics***. They also discuss upcoming events, including one in Cleveland(anybody want to make the trip with Tito?), and their debut in Canada!
They show Cyrus, Rhino, and Justin Credible in the back. He bitches about what Sandman and Willy have done, and so forth. He decides to arrange the first round match of Justin Credible/Rhino vs. Sandman/Chilly Willy at the tag tournament. Credible is pissed, since he "shit" on the Tag Titles after he won the World Title. Rhino says he'll force Credible to wrestle that night, and then Francine comes in and runs her mouth as well. The show ends with Rhino babbling about Sandman, Willy, and whoever else he apparently hates.
But that final segment iced it though. They threw in two matches during that segment, and that was a brilliant idea to gain some ratings. You can't get the chance to change the channel when there are no commercials; that's why the WWF's opening interviews do so well. I believe ECW was under their commercial time, and that says a lot since commercial time is a vital source of revenue for ECW right now, especially since the TNN deal is now sour. This show definately deserves an
2. Rob Van Dam- Also improving off an injury, Rob Van Dam has turned it up a few notches as of late. Those clips of his match versus Kid Kash looked damn good, as I only wish it was on ECW on TNN. Give Rob Van Dam good opponents, and he'll be gold once again. Give him slugs like Rhino, then we have some trouble.
3. Tajiri- Like Lynn, he lost this week, but he continues to look great in the ring. Tajiri, by far, has the best collection of moves in wrestling. Too bad he's always getting the screwjob in his matches. Damn, those kicks are hard!
4. Steve Corino- He won a tough 3 way dance this week, and he still sells everything like a champ. Anybody who is willing to take the bumps and the shots he does, definately deserves a shot on this list! It's funny, because when I first started watching ECW again, I thought he was worthless. The past few months, Corino has forced me to respect him.
5. Rhino- Although he's just a big slug, he has been winning every match in sight. Hey, he's ECW's Bill Goldberg! To make Rhino really good, they need to give him some more violent moves to really get him over. I am glad that he uses a piledriver as his finisher, especially since that move is no longer appreciated as a finisher.

@That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed today's ECW Day edition of the PDC. I'll be back tomorrow with the "Show of the Week", along with a new edition of Bad Tito to worry about.
Phat Pharm: IT'S PHANTASTIC!!!
Take Care, and Thanks for Reading Each and Every Day!
