Haha, I feel that it's fitting that one of the (if not the most) long time readers of this diary took it up to 50 pages!

 

Cheers for the compliments, bud. I'm glad that you're back reading; I've missed your uncanny ability to predict my storylines :D.

Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Champion, Taz.

Taz: Cheers for the intro, Joey. Oh, man am I psyched? Can you believe Paul E's announcement on Revolution?

Joey: Not really but if anyone's capable of dreaming up something like the Baptism of Fire match it's the mad genius that is Paul Heyman!

Taz: Oh, too true, Joe. Anyhow, what's up first?

Joey: Well the rivalry between the sWo and the bWo continues as Big Stevie Cool takes on Chessman.

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpg

Stevie wins with a Stevie Kick at 8:06

Match Rating: C+

 

After the match, the rest of the sWo run out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/espiritu.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Oz.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Cuervo.jpg

 

They look set to assault Stevie but the bWo run out to try and even the odds.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoMeanie.jpg

 

A brawl ensues between the two factions.

Suddenly, smoke fills the ring and the canvas rips open.

An arm reaches out, grabs Nova by the ankle and pulls him under the ring.

Stevie, looking to aid his team mate, jumps into the hole in the canvas but does not re-emerge.

Da Blue Guy looks terrified and tries to escape but he is subdued by the sWo who, working together, drag him under as well.

 

Taz: What the hell?

 

The arena lights suddenly turn off.

 

Dim red lighting comes on to reveal The Great Sasuke standing at the entrance-way.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoGreatSasuke.jpg

 

He laughs demonically before the arena is, again, plunged into darkness.

 

"Superstar" Steve Austin is backstage for a shoot promo.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/SteveAustin.jpg

 

Austin: A few weeks ago, Raven screwed Sabu out of the title. Now, I couldn't give a sh*t if that crazy bastard gets ripped off but it does mean that his promise of me getting another shot at the strap fell through. So, there's only one alternative. In two weeks time, Steve Austin is going to confirm his Superstar status by becoming the first ever winner of the Baptism of Fire match! After that, I'll go on to the main event at Hardcore Heaven and kick Raven's cowardly ass so bad that he'll reconsider ever stepping back in the ring. Put simply, you are looking at the next ECW World Heavyweight champion: the "Superstar" Steve Austin!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JushinThunderLyger.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/UltimoDragon.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisJericho.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ChrisBenoit.jpg

The match is very even and a great example of aerial excellence versus technical proficiency.

The Canadian Connection win at 14:32 when Ultimo Dragon tapped to the Walls Of Jericho.

Match Rating: C+ (ouch :confused:)

 

After the match, to add insult to injury, the Canadians assault Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon.

 

Team Mexico come running out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/EddieGuerrero.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpg

 

They save Lyger and Ultimo by taking out Jericho and Benoit.

 

Christian sprints to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Christian.jpg

 

A 3-on-3 brawl ensues while Lyger and Dragon stay down.

 

Joey: This is pandemonium!

Taz: If you think this is bad, wait for the Ultimate Jeopardy match at Baptism of Fire!

 

Suddenly, Hayabusa runs out.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

 

Joey: My god, it's Hayabusa!

Taz: Isn't he supposed to be injured?

Joey: I guess he's recovered.

 

Hayabusa climbs onto the apron and springboards off the ropes.

He performs an astonishing forward flip that takes out all six Canadians and Mexicans, who roll to the outside.

 

Taz: Oh, yeah, he's recoverd alright!

 

Hayabusa then helps up Ultimo and Lyger.

The three men look at the six others on the outside.

They sprint at the ropes, rebound and perform simultaneous frontflips over the opposite set of ropes.

 

Joey: OH MY GOD! They just took out Team Mexico and The Canadian Connection!

Taz: That was unbelievable!

 

Raven's nest is backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BurchillTV.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CMPunkAllAction.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpg

 

Raven: The most disadvantageous peace is preferable to the most righteous of wars; conflict cannot occur merely for its own sake. What about me? What about Raven? I am willing to try once more to keep the peace between you and me, Shane Douglas. As I said on Revolution, I have realised that I'm holding a trump card that I can lay whenever I choose. I could entice you to change your mind in a split second but I won't. I'll play fair this last time. However, if by the end of next week's Revolution you have not awarded my Monsters a tag title shot, I will not be so patient!

 

So it is written; so it shall come to pass.

Quote The Raven

Nevermore

 

Taz: Man, I wonder what Raven means by a "trump card".

Joey: So do I but there is one thing I'm certain of.

Taz: What's that?

Joey: This next match is going to be a slugfest as Masato Tanaka gets the opportunity for revenge on Cactus Jack!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CactusJack.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

The match is a hardcore spectacle right from the bell with plenty of weapons and blood.

In the tenth minute, Cactus Jack floors Tanaka with a chair shot but, instead of making the cover, he heads to the back.

 

Taz: What the hell?

 

Referee, John Finnegan, decides to award the match to Tanaka.

Match Rating: A

 

Paul Heyman comes to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

 

Heyman: I don't want to take up valuable ring time but I am out here to make a few quick announcements.

 

A faint "Paul E" chant begins.

 

Heyman: Firstly,all title holders will be exempt from the Baptism of Fire match to allow them to concentrate on defending their championships. However, I can confirm five men who will be entering...

 

He leaves a dramatic pause.

 

Heyman: Tommy Dreamer, Steve Austin, Bret Hart and Owen Hart!

 

Taz: That's only four.

Joey: I'm sure he knows that.

 

Heyman: And, finally, the winner of Rhino and The Sandman's Two-Out-Of-Three Falls match will also enter the fires.

 

The crowd cheers the prospect.

 

Heyman: Oh and, in light of earlier events, the Ultimate Jeopardy match will now be three way as Team Mexico and The Canadian Connection face each other as well as the team of Jushin Lyger, Ultimo Dragon and Hayabusa!

 

Joey: A three way Ultimate Jeopardy match?

Taz: Oh man, that's awesome!

 

A video is shown to hype Rhino's recent form.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/KensukeSasaki.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpg

Rhino does not dominate as he has done in previous matches and it makes for a much more interesting bout.

The two men put on a hardcore clinic and steal the show.

Rhino picks up the win with a Gore at 10:32

Match Rating: A*

 

After the match, while Sasaki is grounded, Rhino sets up a table in the corner, resting against the turnbuckle.

He waits for his opponent to stand...

 

Joey: GORE! GORE... THROUGH THE TABLE!

Taz: Oh man, Rhino's getting into quite a routine... beat opponent, mame opponent, beat opponent, mame opponent... repeat as required.

Joey: The Sandman's going to have his work cut out for him at Baptism of Fire!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ECWWorldTVTitle.jpg

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulBurchill.jpg

As always, these two put on a great and evenly contested match.

In the twelfth minute, Hart hits a Brainbuster on Burchill and sets up for the Sharpshooter.

 

Abyss, Goliath and Vito run to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Abyss2.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheGiant.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/VitoThomaselli2.jpg

 

They pull Hart off Burchill and Goliath hits a Giant Chokeslam.

 

Owen Hart comes to make the save.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/OwenHart.jpg

 

Abyss and Goliath team up to take out Owen as Bret is hit by a Vito Driver.

Burchill makes the cover.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A

 

Joey: Damn it! They always find a way to sneak out of trouble!

 

After the match, Burchill picks up a mic.

 

Burchill: Hey, Vito.

 

He signals for his team mate to come over.

When he does, Burchill smacks him across the face.

 

Burchill: This was my match, not yours. Don't stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

 

Joey: What's got into Burchill? Vito just saved him from losing the TV title.

Taz: I have no idea.

 

Vito: But, Paul, Raven said that...

 

Burchill: I don't care what Raven said. If you pull a stunt like this again, I'll f**king cripple you!

 

Burchill angrily takes his title from ringside and storms backstage, leaving Vito and Monsters Inc looking bemused.

My Review Of Blood, Sweat & Beers

 

I like the sWo/bWo angle at the beginning of the show. The arm from beneath the ring was a nice touch and I cant wait to find out what they have up there sleeve.

 

I love your Raven promos

 

The Ultimate Jeopardy match sounds very interesting, it should be a great match.

 

The ending rocked and even though I have not been around for a little while, its easy to see what direction you are taking ECW. I cant find one single fault with this card. Great job brother man.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/DonCallis.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JoelGertner.jpg

 

Callis: Hello and welcome to ECW Revolution. I'm Don Callis...

Gertner: ...and I'm Joel Gertner.

Callis: Tonight's show promises to be a classic as the bWo get the opportunity for revenge after last week's strange happenings and the three teams in the Ultimate Jeopardy match at Baptism of Fire try to gain some momentum.

Gertner: Awesome.

Callis: Not only that, Joel, but Raven promises to reveal his "trump card" if The Franchise, Shane Douglas, does not award a Tag Title shot Monsters Inc.

Gertner: Oh, man, I wonder what that is...

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoStevie.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoChessman.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoEspiritu.jpg

The match is an even contest.

In the ninth minute, Stevie looks set to hit a Stevie Kick on Espiritu.

However, he grabs his head as it becomes apparent that a he is experiencing a shooting pain.

 

Gertner: What's wrong with Stevie?

Callis: I have no idea.

 

Nova goes to check on his partner but Stevie, clearly confused, Super Kicks his own team mate.

Chessman makes the cover and gets the pinfall.

Match Rating: C+

 

The Great Sasuke appears at the entrance-way.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoGreatSasuke.jpg

 

He simply laughs demonically as the camera cuts to backstage.

 

Mick Foley is ready for a shoot promo.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MickFoley.jpg

 

Foley: Since last week, people have again been asking me all sorts of stupid questions. You'll notice that I'm not here tonight as Cactus Jack and that is for the same reason that I abandoned my match with Masato Tanaka last week. I am SICK of being under appreciated! I have sweated every working night of my life in that ring for this company! I have cried more tears for Extreme Championship Wrestling through the years than any guy in the back and every time that my flesh was ripped from my bones, my veins bled ECW! Well, no longer. All of you fickel bastards in the crowd tonight chanted for Masato Tanaka last week. Do you really expect me to finish a match in front of people who don't appreciate my efforts? Tanaka, I'm sure you love the appreciation of the fans and you can have it as far as I'm concerned because the people who I once admired for chanting the three letters "E-C-W" are dead to me!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ReyMysterioWCW.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JuviGuerreraMask.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JushinThunderLyger.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

Jericho: Last week we discovered that three washed-up Japanese pensioners are gonna be included in the Ultimate Jeopardy match.

 

Christian: Whatever. It doesn't matter how many teams we face because we are the Canadian Connection, the most elite stable in wrestling history!

 

Jericho: The fact is that the Japanese are as useless as the mexicans. Antonio Inoki, Hiroshi Hase, The Great Muta... who gives a sh*t?

 

Christian: However, the Harts, Roddy Piper, Abdullah The Butcherm, Lance Storm, Steve Corino is a much more impressive list!

 

Benoit: And, Ultimo Dragon, I'm going to honour Canada's proud wrestling heritage tonight when I make you tapout to the Crossface!

After the match, RVD picks up a mic.

 

RVD: Hey, Iron Saints, this ain't nothing compared to the ass kicking we're gonna hand you!

 

He throws the mic to HBK who catches it.

 

Michaels: At Baptism of Fire, we're gonna win the first ever Halflife Handicap match and the titles will once again belong to the Whole...

Replay of Match Five in the Best-of-Seven Series

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/LanceStorm.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/JerryLynn.jpg

This match lives up to the high standard set by the rest of the series.

In the fifteenth minute, Lynn attempts a top rope Hurricanrana.

However, Storm counters it into a Super Powerbomb.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: A (3-2 to Storm in the series)

 

Callis: So, Lance Storm gains the upper hand for the first time in the series.

Gertner: I always knew he'd come back, Don.

 

Raven comes to the ring, for once, unaccompanied.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/RavenWorld.jpg

 

Raven: Conflict is within the very soul of human mentality. I have endeavoured to not conform to this principle but my patience has its limits. The same instinct that causes man to argue with his neighbour precipitates war betwixt princes. What about me? What about Raven? I recognise that a war waged between Shane Douglas and myself is unnecessary. However, despite ample warning, The Franchise has failed to comply with my reasoning. Thus, I am left with little choice. I have something that will, for once, ensure agreement from the Commissioner...

 

Raven is interrupted by the man of which he speaks.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/ShaneDouglas-1.jpg

 

Franchise: Come on, then, Raven; drop the bomb! I have no skeletons in my closet and I'm dying to know what you think you've got on me.

 

Raven: It's simple, Shane. All I need to do is exploit your shameless sense of competition.

 

Franchise: And how do you propose...

 

Raven: interrupting Four months ago I ended your career. Thanks to me, you will never again be able to compete in a professional wrestling match.

 

Franchise: I'm fully aware of that.

 

Raven ignores Douglas.

 

Raven: However, I am willing to renounce my previous pledge and allow you to once again become an active worker.

 

Douglas looks surprised.

 

Franchise: What's the catch?

 

Raven: You have to beat me at Baptism of Fire in a non-title match.

 

Franchise: That shouldn't be a problem but what's in this for you; this has nothing to do with the tag titles.

 

Raven: That's where you're wrong, Franchise, because, should you choose to accept my proposition for a match at Baptism of Fire and lose, I will become the new Revolution Commissioner!

 

Douglas' face becomes more annoyed.

 

Franchise: Nice try but I'm not willing to risk you having your way with the booking of this company.

 

Douglas turns to leave.

 

Raven: Fine... I'll even put the title on the line!

 

Douglas turns back.

 

Franchise: Deal!

 

Callis: Wow, The Franchise is going to be able to relaunch his career while challenging for the World Title.

Gertner: Yeah, but, if he loses, Raven becomes the new comish!

Callis: That's gonna be huge and how is this gonna fit into Paul E's Two Ring Theory?

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Rhyno.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MasatoTanaka.jpg

The match is a fantastic and evenly contested hardcore spectacle.

Rhino wins with a Gore at 13:27

Match Rating: A

 

After the match, Rhino picks up his opponent to continue the assault but Tanaka fights back.

 

Mick Foley runs to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/MickFoley.jpg

 

He takes out Tanaka from behind and offers to shake Rhino's hand.

 

Gertner: Will the Man Beast accept?

 

Rhino pushes Foley's hand away.

 

Callis: Gore! Gore!

 

After taking out Foley, Rhino picks up Tanaka in a Military Press and launches him to the outside.

 

Callis: Wow, Rhino is on fire!

 

The Sandman sprints to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/TheSandman.jpg

 

He and Rhino commence a huge fist fight.

 

Callis: Well, it looks like they can't wait 'til Baptism of Fire.

Gertner: Tommy Dreamer will have to be loving this!

 

The fight spills to the outside as the two men fight through the crowd and up a tier of stairs.

They brawl continues right to the edge of the balcony.

 

Gertner: This could be dangerous!

 

Rhino, similar to before, picks up his adversary in a Military Press.

He goes to launch him off the balcony but The Sandman catches Rhino's arm on the way down.

 

Callis: My god, both men just fell twenty feet!

Gertner: They're not moving, Don! Let's get some medics out here!

 

The show goes off air as chants of "ECW" thunder around the sold out arena.

Joey: Hello and welcome to ECW Blood, Sweat and Beers. I'm Joey Styles alongside former World Heavyweight Champion, Taz.

Taz: Cheers for the intro, Joey. What's on the card for tonight?

Joey: Well, the bWo and the sWo continue to wage a bitter war as Hollywood Nova takes on The Great Sasuke himself.

Taz: Oh, man, that should be gold, especially after the strange happenings on Revolution.

Joey: Very true, however, that's not all. Jerry Lynn gets the chance to draw level in match six of the Best-of-Seven Series, The Iron Saints defend their tag titles against Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon and The Sandman and Masato Tanaka team up to face their nemeses, Rhino and Mick Foley.

Taz: Sweet! Let's not waste any more time!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/bWoNova.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/sWoGreatSasuke.jpg

The match is an even contest.

In the twelfth minute, Nova ses up his opponent for a Novacaine but Sasuke reverses with a thumb to the eye.

The cult leader then snaps his fingers.

As if by magic, Nova grabs his head, clearly in pain, and collapses to the mat.

Sasuke makes the cover for the three count.

Match Rating: B+

 

Taz: What the hell was that?

Joey: I have no idea. Ladies and gentlemen, we apologise for the abrupt end to that matchup!

 

Paul Heyman is backstage.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/PaulHeyman.jpg

 

Heyman: In view of last week's events, I wanted to make a statement regarding Rhino and The Sandman's match at Baptism of Fire... the winner will recieve an automatic entry into the Baptism of Fire match!

 

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaJericho.jpgvs.http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/Hayabusa.jpg

The match is even as Jericho battles to keep Hayabusa grounded.

He eventually wins with a Lionsault at 12:02

Match Rating: B-

 

Paul Burchill enters the ring,

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BurchillTV.jpg

 

Burchill: As you have probably noticed, I have come out here unaccompied and without any form of backup. That is for one simple reason. Last week, I defeated Bret Hart to retain my World Television Title. However, that victory was tainted by interference from my associates. The fact is that, at Living Dangerously, I went over Bret clean to earn this title and I don't need a dusty finish to retain it. So, "Hitman", I'm challenging you to a rematch here tonight so I can prove my superiority not only to myself but to all my critics.

 

Bret Hart appears at the entrance-way.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/BretHart.jpg

 

Hart: That's surprisingly sporting of you, Burchill. I accept your offer and hope that, for your own sake, this isn't any sort of trap!

 

Joey: Well, it looks like we just got our main event.

Taz: Oh, man, I can't wait!

Lyger and Ultimo prove to be worthy challengers.

However, in the twelfth minute, interference emerges...

 

The Canadian Connection run to the ring.

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaBenoit.jpghttp://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j254/charliepag/CanadaChristian.jpg

 

Christian knocks Ultimo off the apron as Benoit takes out Lyger from behind with a chair.

The Iron Saints capitalise to hit God's Will.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B-

 

After the match, The Canadian connection continue to assault Crouching Lyger Hidden Dragon as The Iron Saints celebrate.

 

Joey: Somebody stop this!

Taz: Where's Hayabusa.

Joey: He's probably still recovering from his match.

 

The Whole F**kin' Show sprint down the aisle-way.

The Iron Saints bail before they need to defend themselves but Michaels and Van Dam still eject The Canadian Connection from the ring.

The Whole F**kin' Show stay in the ring, staring down Brandon and Salvatore and gesturing that they will regain the tag titles.

The match is a hardcore spectacle from the start and very evenly constested.

Rhino picked up the pinfall with a Gore on Masato Tanaka at 13:48

Match Rating: B+

 

After the match, The Sandman and Rhino get into a fierce staredown and slanging match.

 

Taz: Things may kick off a week early, Joey!

Joey: There's certainly a whole lot of animosity in the ring right now.

 

Match Six in the Best-of-Seven Series

The match is another great technical display.

In the fourteenth minute, Lance Storm goes for a Super Kick but Jerry Lynn catches his leg, throws it over his own shoulder and hits a Snap Powerbomb.

He hooks Storm's legs.

1...2...Storm rolls through into his own pinning predicament.

1...2...Lynn returns the favour.

1...2...Kickout!

Lynn sprins straight up onto the second turnbuckle and, as Storm rises, hits a Moonsault Body Press.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B+ (3-3 in the series)

 

Joey: Lynn draws even and this makes things a whole lot more interesting.

 

After the match, Shane Douglas comes to the ring.

Douglas: Okay, I know I'm not the Bllood, Sweat and Beers Commissioner. However, this Best-of-Seven Series was my idea and I'm going to be the one to decide how it will end.

 

The fans cheer.

 

Douglas: This is too big to end in an ordinary match and, so, I have come up with a concept that complies with Paul E's Two Ring Theory.

 

The crowd, again, pops.

 

Douglas: This rivalry will, therefore, be decided in a very special kind of Stairway To Hell match. The victor of the series itself will be determined by pinfall, however, there will be extra incentives. Above one ring will hang an entry certificate for the Baptism of Fire Match while suspended above the other will be a contract for an International All Action Title Shot. Whichever man is able to retrieve one or both of these items will reap the respective rewards.

 

As Douglas finishes speaking, Raven runs to the ring.

The World Heavyweight Champion takes out the Revolution Commissioner from behind.

Lance Storm and Jerry Lynn try to make the save.

 

However, CM Punk, Vito and Monsters Inc. arrive through the crowd.

They take out the two cruiserweights, leaving Raven to decimate Douglas with a chair.

 

Taz: Raven is sending a message to his opponent at Baptism of Fire!

Joey: Yeah, I guess we just found the advantage in having a cult following!

Raven's Nest stay at ringside during the match.

The contest is incredibly even with both men seeing much offence.

In the thirteenth minute, Bret Hart looks set to lock in The Sharpshooter.

The Nest climb onto the apron, distracting Hart and allowing Burchill to rise to his feet.

Shockingly, Burchill gestures for his team mates to head backstage. They protest but he insists it should be a fair matchup.

The fans applaud this sentiment as Burchill and Hart size each other up again.

The contest continues in a similarly evenly-contested fashion.

Suddenly, in the eighteenth minute, Burchill's knee seems to give way.

Hart, although confused, picks up his opponent and delivers a Spinebuster with relative ease.

1...2...3!

Match Rating: B+

 

Taz: He got the title back, Joey.

Joey: Damn right, Taz! "The Hitman" is the new World Television Champion!

 

Show Rating: A

Burchill to enter the fire

 

After his loss of the ECW World Television Title on Blood, Sweat and Beers to Bret Hart, it has been confirmed that Paul Burchill will take Hart's place in the Baptism of Fire match this Friday. This is, apparently, to avoid the remote possibilty whereby two titles are held by one individual concurrently and, for Burchill at least, the phrase "every cloud has a silver lining" has never been more true.
