HOLIDAY HELL 1995

✗ The show begins with Bubba Ray Dudley stuttering his name under the angry eyes of big brothers Big Dick and Dudley Dudley. Head of the family Dudley Dudley tells Bubba he better no f*ck up tonight. To be sure that this match goes right and that his opponent Axl Rotten doesn't go all chair swinging madness, Dudley Dudley asked Bill Alfonso to be the referee! Fonzie comes out under huges boos.

1. In our opening contest, a surprisingly good match between Axl Rotten and Bubba Ray Dudley turns ugly when the two men begin to brawl on the outside. That's when Big Dick attacks Axl, with Bill Alfonso... Saying nothing? Crooked ref Alfonso struck again, as he can be seen making huge wink towards Dudley Dudley who winks backs. After taking a double chokeslam on the outside, Axl Rotten gets counted out, giving Bubba the win.

✗ The crowd is furious, Axl was robbed! Bubba celebrates like he won the Superbowl, and begins a dance with little brothers Chubby and Dances With.. Who's disguised as Santa Claus! But you ECW fans hate Santa, so who they gonna call? 911! The vigilante of ECW marches down to the ring: Chubby gets chokeslamed, Dances with gets chokeslamed, Bubba gets chokeslamed, everybody dies! Dudley Dudley launches his brother Big Dick towards 911 and the two giants collides with clobbering blows. 911 gets the upperhand, CHOKESLAM! Dudley Dudley bails out, and that leaves poor Bill Alfonso in front of the chokeslaming giant... But you know how it goes now, to get to Fonzie, get throught Taz! Taz slides in the ring behind 911 and turns him around,... Chokeslam! Taz is down! But wait... He IMMEDIATELY get backs up, no selling the chokeslam. Half Nelson suplex! He drops the giant on his head!

✗ Taz gets the microphone and call for Sabu. "Get out here you piece of sh*t! Face me!" Of course, Sabu doesn't answer, leaving Taz furious. But Tommy Dreamer gets out. The two men are taking a headstart on their tag match and begin to brawl! This brings out Raven who takes on Dreamer. It's a two on one assault! I thought Dreamer had a partner! But wait!...

Lights go out...

They come back, and

Dreamer's not alone in the ring...

THE DOCTOR'S IN!

DOCTOR DEATH

STEVE WILLIAMS IS HERE!

2. Dr. Death Steve Williams is Tommy Dreamer's christmas tag team partner to take on Raven and Taz! This big bad ass goes right after Taz and we get a battle of the brutes. This tag match descends into chaos, with Dreamer & Raven trading brutal shots and Williams & Taz wrestling an UWFi shoot style match. The dancing partner sometimes intertwinds, with Dreamer getting a measure of revenge by hitting Taz with a piledriver on the outside and Raven boucing off the former AJPW Triple Crown Champion. In the end, Taz tags out to Raven and rolls out of the ring, leaving him to the wrath of Williams who hits him with a powerslam before tagging in Dreamer who hits the DDT. One, two... HE DID IT! TOMMY DREAMER HAS FINALLY PINNED HIS CHILDHOOD RIVAL RAVEN!

✗ As soon as the match is over, Tommy Dreamer basks in triumph. He did it, he finally pinned Raven. Dr. Death shakes in hand and leaves the ring, The Doctor is out.

3. With the ECW World Tag Team Championship on the line, it's an all out war between champions Public Enemy and The Gangstaz. This war rages on in ring, outside the ring, even in the crowd! Everything is legal in this tag war, with weapons getting brought in as soon as the bell rings. The two team seems evenly matched, but New Jack's lust for violence might be unmatch as he makes Johnny Grunge bleed with a cheese gratter! The match gets brought back to the ring, and Mustafa is hit by the Drive By. The Public Enemy might be about to win there, but... A hooded figure slides into the ring and hits Rocco Rock with a wrench in the back of the head! The interference allows New Jack to hit his Gangsta's Paradise for the win... AND NEW CHAMPION!

✗ "ECW fans, F*CK YOU!" - New Jack. The Gangstaz triumph, and New Jack introduces us to the third member of their posse, the young pup, the enraged dog...

Nelson Erazo...

But you can call him Homicide!

4. The Dog Collars are locked, and these two former teammates are about to go to war! Pitbull Gary Wolfe takes on Crusher Durante, with Francine at ringside in neither man's corner! It's a short and chaotic affair. This hoss fight makes good use of the chain, especially Durante. Wolfe seems reluctant to be too violent with his friend, but Crusher has no remorse. Encouraged by Francine to destroy Wolfe, he finishes the match by hitting a powerbomb from the top turnbuckle for the win. After the match, Crusher Durante leaves with Francine who leads him by the dog collar.

5. If Rey Misterio Jr. & Konnan lose this match... They'll be sent back to Mexico by Jason! But Jason Knights' team The Eliminators better not lose, otherwise he'll have to spend a whole week in the slums of Tijuana... Strange stipulation, right?

This tag match is one of the ages. Rey Misterio is head and shoulders above everyone, his high flying style dazzling the audience. Konnan also seems individually better than each of his opponents. What makes The Eliminators' strenght is their team work. Their unmatched timing and cohesion allows them to go toe to toe with two of Mexico's best. Things almost go south for them when Rey hits a 619 on Grunge, but Jason distracts him allowing for the Eliminators to hit their always brutal looking Total Eliminatio for the win!

✗ Jason waves goodbye at Rey Misterio Jr. & Konnan as his team laughs. On his way out, Konnan grabs a microphone. "Hey, esse. Good job. Good job. You're maybe done with Rey & me, but that's ok, we'll go back to Mexico to make proper huge money!... But for you and your two boyz... There will be revenge. I'm gonna make phone calls. Mexico is comin' for you, perros!".

6. Enter the Sandman! The beer drinking, cigarette waving singapour waving hardcore wrestling Sandman is in the place, with Woman in his corner, as he faces former tag partner 2 Cold Scorpio. It's a clash of styles as the extremist faces the high flyer. 2 Cold always gets the upper hand when it comes to wrestling, but this is ECW, so Sandman uses his singapour cane to take back the advantage everytime. He busts Scorpio open with the cane, hitting him so hard the thing breaks in half! As the crowd chants "holy sh*t", Sandman motions to his valet to send him another cane. Woman takes her time, she gets the cane, throws it... Over Sandman and into Scorpio's hands! What the hell? Sandman is shocked as Woman smiles, and Scorpio smashes him in the balls like a pro golfer, then hits his Tumbleweed for the win!

✗ As Sandman is in pain, Woman joins Scorpio in the ring. They crack a beer open and pour it over the Sandman before leaving together. What a Jezabel!

7. That new kid, Rob Van Dam? Yeah, he's GOOD! He's damn arrogant, pointing to himself, and facing Sabu is not gonna make you a fan favourite. But that match absolutely rocks, and Van Dam can totally win Sabu's ECW World TV title according to the competitiveness of the match. There's chairs thrown at each other, high flying crazy moves, and of course - because this is a Sabu match - a table! Sabu hits his Arabian Facebuster, with a chair, onto RVD, through a table, and he gets the win to keep his championship.

✗ Bill Alfonso comes out. "SABU! TAZ IS COMIN' FOR YOU DADDY! ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE! FACE THE MACHINE! FACE THE WRATH OF TAZ!" Fonzie whistles in Sabu's face... But Sabu just rolls out of the ring and leaves.

8. Stevie Richards doesn't want to face Terry Funk! He's afraid and offers Funk to lay down for him... Funk answers with a fist drop to the head! Funk clobbers Richards all over the ring, forcing the kid to strike back. Of course, he is no match for the legendary Funker. Despite giving everything he has, Richards gets droppend on his head with de Texas Piledriver and Terry Funk wins easily.

✗ As the bell rings, Terry Funk raises his hand. Stevie's sidekick The Blue Meanie helps Richards to his feet. A semi-unconscious Richards gets scared when Funk approaches him... But the Funker only delivers a swift taps on his head and mutters: "good job kid".

9. This is our main event! Has an ECW Match ever had such high stakes? If Mick Foley wins, he'll take the World Championship to WCW. If Steve Austin wins, he promises to usher in a new era for ECW. Something's gonna give!

Foley wants to have a proper technical match and this is more what fans have been used to with Dean Malenko & Eddie Guerrero than the hardcore affairs you could except. The two men wrestle on the ground and on their feet... Until Austin gets sick of it. "Superstar" begins to brawl, and the match gets ugly. No weapon is used, but the sheer physicality of the contest is something to behold. They never leave the ring nor shed a drop of blood, but this is intense. At one point, Foley drops Austin on his head with a Piledriver... But it's a nearfall! The fans are on the edge of their seats, and Foley attempts his Double Arm DDT, only to get countered into a reverse atomic drop. He gets picked up, and driven throat first into the third rope, the Stun Gun! Austin wins!

✗ Steve Austin is STILL your ECW World Champion! As the fans cheer, Austin crawls to the ropes and picks himself up. He asks for a microphone.

"Now Cactus Jack... Mick Foley... Whatever your name is... When you get to Turner Broadcasting Studio. Tell Uncle Eric... Tell Big Daddy Turner... And tell HULK HOGAN... That Steve Austin says hello. Tell them you couldn't do the j-o-b against him, because he's a true SUPERSTAR. Tell them, with your tiny tail between your weird ass looking legs, that you couldn't make it in the E-C-Dubya. And hell, tell Hogan his world championship is just a prop. THIS is the real deal. THIS is the ECW World Heavyweight Championship, and no one will take it away from me... NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF MY RING!"

PREDICTION RESULTS:

Sooo it was the Doctor!! A little early comparing to real life, but he was available (Brian Pillman unfortunately wasn't, Brian Lee was a serious option but I feel works better as a heel, and as for Shane Douglas... he's just under a ppa deal with WWF so we'll see )

for optimal immersion i suggest playing the music while reading

"It's over when one of us leaves forever."

TOMMY DREAMER ✗ People think it's over. They say "Tommy... You finally pinned Raven. You finally defeated the man you could never beat. You finally put the rivalry to rest"... But it's not over. It will never be over. What started in a summer camp when we were teenagers cannot be ended by a pinfall. Whatismore, I didn't defeated Raven. I can't say I slayed him all by myself. I was teaming with one of the baddest man on the planet, DOCTOR DEATH, Steve Williams!... And I thank him for helping me.

TOMMY DREAMER ✗ But this is my war. I need to fight it all by myself. I need to win it all by myself. Raven... You want revenge for something that happened fifteen years ago. You want to torture me for being a young stupid jock teenager. Was it my fault that you were an outcast? Was it my fault that you hated everyone?!... And then, you brought Beulah in. Yeah you're right, I rejected her!... I rejected the fat chick because I was stupid. I rejected her because I was a stupid teenager, and all I can love was myself. I rejected her because deep down... Well let's be honest, I didn't love myself, I HATED MYSELF!... But now, i'm my own man Raven. I'm not a teenager anymore. I'm a grown ass man. I fight my own fight,... Do you?

TOMMY DREAMER ✗ Since you arrived in ECW, you are focus on making me pay for being a jerk when I was fourteen. You didn't grow up. You're still a captive of the tormented child you were. So instead of taking the issue to a psychiatrist, you chose violence. You chose to bring in Beulah and use her. You used Stevie Richards. You used the Dudley Boyz. You manipulated Cactus Jack to turn on me. When does it end? I'll tell you.

TOMMY DREAMER ✗ It ends when one of us quits. It ends when one of us leaves forever. It ends in blood and pain. It ends in tears... Raven, you've chosen your path. Be prepared.

"You never outnumber the Public Enemy"

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Hey, Johnny! Why are we in the streets? It's freezing cold here!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ Rocco, you know why. The Gangstaz took the street to us... So we're going to the streets!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ But why?

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ To learn! Why are they so tough? Is it something in the water they drank? Is it because they were beaten up time and time and time and time and time against in those streets?!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Johnny, you don't understand!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ To learn! Why are they so tough? Is it something in the water they drank? Is it because they were beaten up time and time and time and time and time against in those streets?!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Johnny, you don't understand!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ What?!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ It's an act!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ An act?

ROCCO ROCK ✗ A gimmick!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ A gimmick?

ROCCO ROCK ✗ If New Jack and Mustafa are so tough... Why do they need a third man to beat us? If they're those bad ass motherf*ckers, why do they need to outnumber us to steal the ECW World Tag Team Championship?

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ 'Cause... We... Better than them!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Exactly! Without their third man... What's his name? Genocide?

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ Patricide!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Pesticide?

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ Oh no! It's Homicide!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Whatever. These lanky son of a b*tch was brought out from the streets by the Gangstaz. That's what they meant when they said they brought the street to us. They didn't bring grit. They didn't bring grind. They didn't bring toughness... They brought their little friend. Because in their streets, you don't win unless you outnumber you're enemies.

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ There's a word for that!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ COWARDS! Because that's the way of the streets. That's the way of the Gangstaz. 3 on 2, 5 on 2, 50 on 1, that's what they call gang banging!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ Well I was in a gang bang once and we were definite-

ROCCO ROCK ✗ NEW JACK!... MUSTAFA!... HOMICIDE!... You don't ever outnumber the Public Enemy. We are the pioneers of the ECW Tag Team Division! We are the heart and soul of this company! We are NEVER OUTNUMBERED!

JOHNNY GRUNGE ✗ We about to go all gang bang on yo' asses... Ain't that right, Rocco?!

ROCCO ROCK ✗ Shut up Johnny...

"Bring Mexico"

PERRY SATURN ✗ So Konnan wants to bring Mexico to Philly to get revenge on the Eliminators... Are we afraid of it? Are we afraid of skinny tiny little luchadors?

JOHN KRONUS ✗ Hell no!

PERRY SATURN ✗ Bring El Santo! Bring Blue Demon! Bring Doctor Wagner! Bring Perro Aguayo!

JOHN KRONUS ✗ How do you know that many names?

PERRY SATURN ✗ Eddie Guerrero couldn't shut up about them.

JOHN KRONUS ✗ That's right, bring Eddie Guerrero!

PERRY SATURN ✗ Does he count as a Mexican?

JOHN KRONUS ✗ I DON'T KNOOOOW!

PERRY SATURN ✗ Let's keep this straight: KONNAN! You don't impress us. You don't scare us. Send whoever you want after us.

JOHN KRONUS ✗ Because we know what awaits them, right?

PERRY SATURN ✗ TOTAL!

JOHN KRONUS ✗ ELIMINAAAATIOOOON HAHAHA!

<img style="max-width:100%;" alt="" src=https://i.imgur.com/O4jeBHH.jpg

"You will die"

RAVEN ✗ Doctor Death... That is a funny nickname. How à propos is it of Steve Williams to take the nickname Doctor Death, when he is not killing anybody?... Think about it. Steve Williams cannot kill Raven. He put me down, right. He battered me, he exhausted me until good old Tommy Dreamer could benefit from his hard work and pin me. Dr. Death did not kill me, because nothing can kill Raven. Even the excruciating pain of my childhood did not kill me. Even the wars i have had with Tommy Dreamer did not kill me.

RAVEN ✗ Dreamer didn't kill me, as a matter of fact he did not even beat me. This illusive pinfall was a fluke. Without Steve Williams, Tommy Dreamer would have been victimised, beaten like a stray dog, and left for dead. Tommy Dreamer cannot defeat me. And he knows it. I own his mind. The only time Tommy Dreamer could do something against me was back when we were children. Back when he was the golden boy, the captain of the teenage football team, and I was the outcast, I was the loser. I have taken all that pain and anguish and turn it into my biggest strength. Now I have Beulah, the girl he rejected, the girl I have loved since I was old enough to remember, by my side. Nothing can stop me.

RAVEN ✗ Nothing can stop me, yet Tommy Dreamer tries. He tries to stop the inexorable pain and suffering that I am bringing to ECW. He tries to stop me from opening the eyes of people such as Stevie Richards. I can understand it. That is self preservation. Because if I have my way, my ultimate goal is still the same: vengeance. Vengeance against this society that did me wrong. Vengeance against every avatar of this agonizing civillisation. Vengeance against him.

RAVEN ✗ Tommy Dreamer... I have promised enough suffering. I have dealt enough pain. That is not enough. I have realized that you and I are like an old married couple. Our fate are intertwined... It doesn't end... Until death do us part.

RAVEN ✗ Quoth the Raven... Nevermore.

<div style="color:rgb(26, 26, 26);font-size:14px;font-style:lato;font-weight:normal;text-align:left;">The first major card of ECW for 1996 is going to be crazy! With colossal clashes awaiting to happen, let's run down the card and the events that led to this.

ECW World Heayvweight Championship: Steve Austin © vs. Terry Funk

ECW World Heavyweight Champion Steve Austin triumphed, sending Mick Foley packing to WCW, on ECW Holiday Hell. The "Superstar" grew more and more arrogant on following episodes of ECW Hardcore TV, proclaiming the ECW roster to be beneath him and taking on any comers. On the first ECW Hardcore TV of 1996, he decided to take the colour commentary role and insulted everyone. One of the people he insulted was Terry Funk, who defeated Rob Van Dam in the main event. During this match, Austin commented that Terry Funk was an "older, shittier" version of Mick Foley.

The Funker didn't take that comment lightly. He called out Austin on the very next episode, and told him that he faced tougher and bitter competition back when Austin was STILL "breast feeded off Arn Anderson's nipple in WCW". He proclaimed he could take down Austin anytime, anywhere. The two men seemed destined to a clash of monstruous proportion.

Austin answered on next episode that he used to respect the Funker. Back when he was NWA World Champion, back when he was wrestling classics. Back when he went to Japan and taught Texas Strong Style to the Japanese. Austin claimed that Funk was no longer a superstar, but that he became a stuntman in order to try to stay relevant.

The two men came face to face in a brutal clash following week. Steve Austin defeated Rob Van Dam in the main event, with Terry Funk on commentary making remarks about Austin "still being a young boy". Post match, the two came face to face and exchanged words... Before engaging in a brawl. This wild melee spilled out into the crowd and to the concession stand, where they brawled with food, with a nearby trashcan, and Steve Austin even threw a fan at Steve Austin! The wild chaotic brawl continued until the show went off the air without a conclusion.

On the last Hardcore TV before House Party, Terry Funk & Steve Austin agreed on a title match at the event.. Terry Funk promised that if Steve Austin beat him, he would shake his hand and acknowledge that he's the better man. Austin answered that if Terry Funk wins, Austinj will personally strap the belt around his waist... But that won't happen.

Can Steve Austin cement his spot at the very top of ECW by defeating living legend and former world champion Terry Funk?

Or does the Funker have one last run inside him?

I Quit Match - Loser Leaves ECW

Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven

The war which began years ago in a summer camp is coming to an end.

Tommy Dreamer and Raven have been waging war on each other throughout 1995 in ECW. They've had brawls, they've had psychological warfare, they tried to kill each others.

At Holiday Hell, Dreamer finally achieved the unthinkable: he pinned Raven. But it was in a tag team match, and many pointed that Tommy's partner Steve Williams did the heavy lifting in said match. Having tasted victory, Tommy Dreamer wants it to end. On the last Hardcore TV of 1995, he told us his new year's resolution: end it all. Rememoring the history between him and Raven, he vowed to finish this war. The only way according to him was that one of them leave ECW.

Following week, Raven & Stevie Richards faced Public Enemy in a high stakes tag team match. They lost that match after Richards accidentally Stevie Kicked Raven. After the match, Raven berated Richards, slapped him in the face and insulted him. This brought out Tommy Dreamer who engaged in a brawl with Raven. The two men jumped at each others' throat. In the scuffle, Raven hit his valet and childhood love Beulah McGuillicutty with an elbow. Dreamer sent Raven to outside the ring and attended to the fallen Beulah, drawing the ire of Raven who decided to walk off.

Next week, a vignette showed Raven screaming at his Flock. He beat down The Blue Meanie in a childhood park, by night. He insulted Stevie Richards ans Beulah McGuillicutty, calling them worthless. He order Richards to beat Dreamer next week. The singles match didn't go according to the plan, as Tommy Dreamer defeated Stevie Richards with a Dreamer DDT. Post match, Dreamer shook Richards' hand and whispered to him. Raven ordered Richards to leave the ring with him... Byt Richards walked out on him, with the Blue Meanie. This led to another brawl with Dreamer which Raven won after hitting him with a Raven's Effet DDT outside of the ring.

Raven grew more and more possessive and abusive of Beulah McGuillicutty, even coming to the ring handcuffer to her. He handcuffed her to the ring post during his match with Axl Rotten that he won. This brought out Dreamer who tried to unlock Beulah. The two men engaged in yet another brawl, and the scuffle once against stroke down Beulah. Raven once again took the advantage of Dreamer and threw him into the guardrails before unlocking Beulah, picking her up and taking her to the back..

In a demented vignette, Raven challenged Dreamer to an I Quit Match... Loser Leaves ECW. He promised that he will end Dreamer and exert revenge for everything that Dreamer did back when they were teenagers. "You won't take Beulah from me. You rejected her when she was a fat ugly kid back when we were teenagers. You won't have her now. She's mine.".

Tommy Dreamer's answer was short: on the last Hardcore TV before House Party, Joey Styles asked him about his answer. "I will destroy Raven.".

The blood feuded that helped shape ECW is coming to an end!

Will the nihilistic Raven conquer? Will ECW's hero Tommy Dreamer slay his personal tormentor?

It will only end when on of them say "I Quit".

Too Cold Scorpio & Woman vs. The Sandman & Lori

Woman claims she turned on The Sandman because he is "a no good, useless drunk". Siding with Too Cold Scorpio, she told the ECW fans that The Sandman owed her massive amount of money from all the bail she had to pay because he got involded in brawls and got caught driving while drunk. The two new allies attacked Sandman weeks after week, with two Hardcore TV episodes in a row ending with Sandman being beaten down.

Three times weren't the charm thought. Sandman opened next show calling them out and brawled with Scorpio. Woman got into the scuffle, but a woman from the crowd jumped him... Lori Fullington! Previously known as Peaches, Sandman's wife came to his aid and they fought back Scorpio & Woman. The two embraced in the middle of the ring and Lori opened up a can of beer for her husband. The history runs deep here, as Sandman rejected his wife back in 1994. During his fake retirement ceremony in late 1994, where he pretended to be blind, Sandman was offered a reconciliation offer by Peaches... Who got caned by Woman. This time, Lori seems to have reconciled with Sandman!

On the next show, Sandman & Lori explained that everything wrong in their relationship was because of Woman. She manipulated Sandman into thinking his wife was having an affair with Tommy Cairo in 1994. She caned her. She turned them against each other. But one thing keeps them together: their son Tyler. The two renewed their vows and make a new one: to make Woman (and Scorpio) pay. They will not take their money, they will not screw with their marriage again.

What followed was weeks of Scorpio & Woman mocking Lori & Sandman. Scorpio claimed that everyone in ECW "had a go" at Peaches, leading to one of the most brutal beatdown we ever saw on Hardcore TV, only ending when Woman called the police and had Sandman arrested, while Scorpio was half dead on the ground.

Lori pailed the bail, and Sandman made a promise: this will come to an end. He challenged Scorpio to a match... And Lori added that she wanted to beat Woman for a long time, inserting herself in what was now a tag match.

Will love prevail as reconciled husband and wife The Sandman and Lori face Woman & Scorpio?

Or will the self proclaimed "most bankable act in ECW" Woman & Scorpio get the last laugh?

Taz vs. "Dr. Death" Steve Williams

Taz's main target is still Sabu. But while waiting for the match with Sabu that he's not having, he wants to deal with Dr. Death. Furious at the former AJPW Triple Crown Champion involvement in his tag team match at Holiday Hell, Taz vowed to beat him up and prove he was the best.

Steve Williams is a man of a few words. He said he already beat Taz, even if he didn't pin him, but he was ok for a singles match. Williams - often appearing for AJPW during ECW Hardcore TV - said that Taz didn't impress him, and he chewed out better men like Jumbo Tsuruta or Stan Hansen.

Taz was PISSED that somebody could even question the fact that he was the better man. He continued his streak of absolutely destroying other wrestlers :WWF enhancement talent for hired Jeff Hardy, his brother Matt, then BOTH in a handicap match, japanese imports Yoshihiro Tajiri and FMW Mr. Pogo. Each time, his words was the same: "bring me Sabu". No Sabu? "Bring me Dr. Death". Irrate at Sabu & Williams having what he felt was preferential treatment by Paul E., being allowed to miss tapings due to japanese commitment, he also insulted ECW's boss.

In a memorable promo off between Paul Heyman & Bill Alfonso, the two insulted each other like mad men. Heyman said Sabu was above Taz and that he won't have the match. Alfonso called Sabu "Heyman's little pet bitch", and Heyman said that Taz will face the wrath of Dr. Death at House Party... But that he also was a bitch. This brought out Taz who got threatening towards Paul E. Of course, his brought out Paul's enforcer 911... Who once again got suplexed on his head by Taz.

Two of the toughest wrestlers on earth collided!

The man of 100 Suplexes faces Dr. Death, who will prevail?

Elsewhere on the card..

✗ The Gangstaz are growing in numbers! With the help of new member Homicide, New Jack & Mustafa defeated Public Enemy for win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. This led to even more brutality between the two teams. Being outnumbered by "cowadly tactics", Public Enemy dragged him reluctant Mikey Whipwreck in the fray! Teaching him to "be a man", the Public Enemy enlisted him in their challenge. 3 on 3, anything goes, this saturday at House Party!

✗ Mexico is coming for the Eliminators and Jason Knight! That's the promise Konnan made. Knight spent weeks laughing at this threat... Until two luchadores attacked him on an episode of Hardcore TV which the Eliminators missed. The two men Damian 666 and Halloween, beat the hell out of him, and sent him thought a damn flaming table! With Jason Knight out, the Eliminators face the wrath of Mexico as they face Halloween and Damian 666 in a Mexican Death Match!

✗ Sabu is still defending his ECW World Television Championship against a string of challengers, most of them coming from outside companies such as FMW's Masato Tanaka or Border City Wrestling's Scott D'Amore. Still not having spoken a single word (or answered Taz's challenges), the mut, psychotic, death-defying Sabu faces Crusher Durante, who has a new maniac personality under the guidance of "mistress" Francine.

✗ Bubba Ray Dudley has finally beaten someone! After his fluky defeat of Axl Rotten, "Buh-Buh" grew more and more confident (and cocky), finally conquering his stuttering. Axl Rotten brought back up to face the Dudley Family, as debuting Balls Mahoney will tag with him to face Bubba and head of the family Dudley Dudley.

✗ Stevie Richards has had a rough few months. He got beaten by Terry Funk (but seemingly got his approval?), got humilated again and again by Raven, got beaten by Tommy Dreamer... And finally broke free from unhinged leader Raven. He's facing ECW newcomer Rob Van Dam, fresh of fantastic matchs with Sabu (Holiday Hell) and Steve Austin (second Hardcore TV of january 1996). The cocky RVD does not see young Stevie Richards as a serious foe, and has called him "a comedy act". These two will open the night at House Party.

✗ A string of newcomers are fighting on ECW TV. Jeff Hardy & []Matt Hardy[/b], two young baby faced WWF's loaned wrestlers debuted. Althought they're getting beaten at every turn and are not featured on the event, they are making waves with their unwillingness to stay down. Althought their clean cut act doesn't sit well with the rabid ECW fanbase, their never say die attitude has begun to earn them some favours.

HOUSE PARTY 1996

✗ The show begins with Rob Van Dam on the microphone. He pissed about having to "curtain jerk" with notable "jobber" Stevie Richards. Van Dam says he's treated better in Japan and he understands why Sabu no showed ECW last year to wrestle for Giant Baba's promotion. Van Dam wants another shot at the ECW World Television Championship that Sabu holds.

1. Our opening contest is a surprisingly open contest. Stevie Richards is more focused and competitive than ever and RVD is taken aback at his opponent's skills. Despite this open match going for ten minutes, Van Dam dodges a Stevie Kick and hits a spinning wheel kick, then grabs a chair and hits Sabu's own Arabian Facebuster (chair assisted leg drop) for the win!

2. The Dudleyz are in! Bubba Ray & Dudley Dudley, accompaniated by Big Dick, Sign Guy, Dances With and Chubby, are making their way to the ring. They face Axl Rotten and newcomer Ballz Mahoney who make their entrance with chairs! It's a real overbook mayhem with outside interference, chairshots and wild brawls. Ballz surprises the crowd when he chain wrestles Bubba, showing us his amateur wrestler background. In the end, head of the family Dudley Dudley gets hit by stero chairshots from his opponents who follow with a double DDT for the victory.

✗ Post match, Bubba Ray is PISSED at his older brother and head of the family taking the pinfall. He beartes him and leaves... The whole family seems in doubt, but they follow Bubba and leave Dudley Dudley alone. Are we about to witness a changing of leadership in the Dudley Family?

3. Dr. Death Steve Williams makes his entrance to a thunderous ovation. Once in the ring, he gets streamers thrown at him. Then... It's Taz.. It's a brutal match, where no chairs or typical ECW's chaos is seen. Just a highly competitive, King's Road Style match. They hit each others with suplexes, powermoves, lariats and so on. Williams have the height advantage, but Taz is fearless and demonstrates the knowledge of an array of Suplexes that amazes everyone. "The man of a 100 Suplexes!" -Bill Alfonso. After a grueling twenty minute contest, Steve Williams is about to hit a powerbomb, but Taz pushes him into the rope... Lariat from Taz! Dr. Death is down, Taz makes the pin... WILLIAMS IMMEDIATELY KICK OUT! "That's strong style spirit right here!" -Joey Styles. Taz can't believe his eyes as Dr. Death pummels him with right hands, runs to the rope, and... BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX FROM TAZ! DR. DEATH WENT FLYIN! Taz crawls towards him... Tazmission! The kata-ha-jime! Williams goes numb and loses consciousness, awarding Taz the victory.

✗ Taz is EXHAUSTED! He needs help from manager Bill Alfonso to get back up to his feet and walk to the back, very slowly. This match was won but took a toll on Taz.

4. Following contest is a Mexican Death Match! The Eliminators (sans Jason who is still out after going through a flaming table) faces Hallowen & Damian 666. This match is straight up ugly. Tables, chairs, Perry Saturn with a goddamn piñata rolled in barbed wire... It's chaos. This wild mayhem only ends when The Eliminators get payback... By putting Hallowen throught a flaming table! This pandemonium ends with a Total Elimination.

✗ "Sandman! After I'm done beating you, imma take your wife. 2 Cold needs 2 Women for warm his bed!" - 2 Cold Scorpio. Of course, Sandman comes rushing out and cane the f*ck out of him.

5. 2 Cold & Woman take on Sandman & wife Lori. Of course, the women are not wrestlers and their involvement in this match is kept simple and to the point. They do engage in a catfight that sparks the light in the crazed ECW fans' eyes. The match is quite short and tells a straightforward story: 2 Cold is the superior athlete, but Sandman is filled with rage and it allows him to overcome the odds and win the match.

✗ Sandman, having just won, tries to get his hands on Woman and gets some revenge. But his former walet runs away and takes a microphone. "What is this place where you encourage man on woman violence?! I'm a high class lady, not a filthy whore like your wife! Enjoy marital life and sex once a moth Sandman, BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN! I QUIT!". Just like that, Woman is storming out of ECW while Sandman and Lori kiss... And drink beer... An happy ending in ECW?

6. The Gangstaz enter with a cart full of weapons. Chairs, a guitar, a kitchen sink, a Stop sign, some more chairs... Meanwhile, Public Enemy DRAG poor Mikey Whipwreck into the match and it is on. A pure hardcore brawl, where the two team have obvious weak links. Mikey gets taken down by the Gangstaz multiple time, while 19 years old rookie Homicide has a tough time fighting either Rocco Rock or Johnny Grunge. The star of the match is New Jack, who seems to simply not feel pain and fights like a mad dog. He finally gets hit by a Whippersnapper, then a Drive By, and sees a dozen of chairs get thrown at him by his opponents. Whil New Jack is litteraly buried under a stockpile of chairs, Public Enemy hit the Drive By on Mustafa for the win!

✗ "Gangstaz! Now that we showed you who Public Enemy are, get ready... Because we're gonna get OUR tag team championship back!" - Rocco Rock

7. Sabu defends the ECW World Television Championship against Crusher Durante who's managed by his "mistress" Francine. The former Pitbull #2 takes the advantage early on with mauling attacks, using his superior strength. But the suicidal, genocidal, homicidal death-defying Sabu brings chairs into the fray and answers with a flurry of demented offense. Using high flying daunting moves, Sabu takes back the control of the match. Despite an interference by Francine, who gets shoved, Sabu wins after a moonsault throught a table. EC-Dub! EC-Dub!

✗ It all comes to this. Tommy Dreamer. Raven. The war ends tonight in an I Quit match. Loser Leaves ECW. We see clips of their rivalry and the last promos of Raven & Dreamer that were featured on ECW Pulp Fiction promos. This epic rivalry concludes now.

8. Tommy Dreamer and Raven are waging an all out war on each others. Physical violence, callbacks to their previous encounters, Raven's sadisticness, Dreeamer's heart. This is the ultimate battle between good and evil. After few minutes of proper brawling, weapons get introduced. Soon, the two blood rivals are wearing a crimson mask made of their own blood. At one point in the match, untie one of his boot and take the laces to choke Dreamer! He chokes him out, telling him that he'll either quit or die... But Beulah McGuillicutty screams at him to stop and tries to interject, getting pushed away! Dreamer jumps on the occasion and hits Raven with a low blow. Later in the match, Raven grabs some handcuffs and ties Dreamer's hands behind his back. He's powerless, and Raven hits him with a chair, again and again. He's unhinged, psychotic, he doesn't even seem to win the match anyway... But Dreamer doesn't quit. As Beulah interjects again, Raven pushes her to the ground. That's when Stevie Richards comes out from the back. He looks at the man who was his mentor, and... STEVIE KICK! Richards finally turned his back on Raven! Stevie leaves, and Raven & Dreamer are both down. Beulah doesn't know which one to chose as they slowly rise... Raven tries a spear, but Dreamer catches him. With his hands tied behind his back, he grabs Raven's neck under his elbow and... Dreamer DDT! Dreamer DDT! Tommy manages to make his feet go behind the cuffs, and he's still tied but now his hands are in front of him. Bloodied, on the ground, HE CHOKES RAVEN WITH THE HANDCUFFS! Raven is in agony, and referee Jim Molineaux approaches.... "I QUIT! I QUIT!"

✗ TOMMY DREAMER HAS FINALLY DEFEATED RAVEN! HE DISPATCHED HIS RIVAL ONCE AND FOR ALL! The crowd erupts, it's a true moment of bliss in Philadelphia. As the referee unlocks Dreamer from the cuffs, Raven slowly makes his way back to this feet, limping, coughing, beaten and devastated. He goes to leave the ring but turns to Beulah McGuillicutty... He motions to her "come!"... But she refuses! Raven goes to her, grabs her by her hair, violently pulling her towards him... Dreamer interject, Dreamer DDT!. Tommy and Beulah looks at each others... AND KISS! The rowdy, vicious ECW fans are not one to be emotionally moved, but they roar like thunder at this sight. Tommy Dreamer and Beulah McGuillicutty, together.

That's when the light go off.

Wait... The show isn't over yet, is it?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I've been told that Sabu has already left the arena, so that's not him." - Joey Styles.

"We are facing technical difficulties, please bear with us.".

...

Ah, the lights are finally back on.

JIM CORNETTE AND THE HEAVENLY BODIES

✗ "THIS ENTIRE ARENA COULD HAVE BEEN MADE OUT OF TOILET PAPER, BECAUSE ALL I SEE HERE IS SH*IT! YOU HERE ME, THIS IS NOT WRESTLING, THIS IS SH*T! WE MIGHT CALL THIS ECW, EXTREMELY CRAPPY WRESTLING!" - Jim Cornette. The crowd is in shock, and The Heavenly Bodies, Dr. Tom & Jimmy Del Ray jump at Tommy Dreamer! Dreamer's been almost beatn to death, there is nothing he can do as the heavenly Bodies absolutely beat him up. Meanwhile, Jim Cornette shouts insults, calling the ECW fans "inbreds", Beulah McGuillicutty "a slut" and the ECW wrestlers "scum". Thank god, there is someone watching after Tommy Dreamer.

Just the sight of Terry Funk waving a chair like a madman is enough to make the trio run away from the ring. The Funker has save Tommy Dreamer, but a whole new story seem to beging in front of our eyes.

9. This is our main event! After a quick cut to Joey Styles commenting what we just saw and Tommy Dreamer getting some medical help, Steve Austin makes his entrance for his title defense against the Funker. This is an all time classic, a psychological wrestling master piece. The two men gel particularly well and deliver a great match. They seem evenly matched, with Austin's superior athletic abilities being compensated by Terry Funk's veteran experience. This is a straight up wrestling match that doesn't involve any weapon, and a single sequence outside of the ring where Austin hits a back body drop on Funk. As the match is drawing close to the thirty minute mark, Terry Funk attempts to go for his Drop Toe Hold, but Austin reverses in a small package! One, two... Funk reverses it, one, two, thre... Austin kicks out! Funk almost had him! A furious Austin lets out a smile, he goes for a Texas Piledriver... And hits it! One, two, three! AND STILL!

✗ Steve Austin is STILL your ECW World Champion! As the fans cheer, Austin crawls to the ropes and picks himself up. He looks at Terry Funk, badly beaten. The Funker glances at him... And gives him a nod. Respect is earned.

QUICK RESULTS:

1 ✗ Rob Van Dam def. Stevie Richards

2 ✗ Axl Rotten & Balls Mahoney def. Dudley Dudley & Bubba Ray Dudley

3 ✗ Taz /w. Bill Alfonso def. 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams

4 ✗ Mexican Death Match The Eliminators def. Damian 666 & Halloween

Again, thank to everyone. I thrive on feedbacks and every comment is greatly appreciated. Some of you almost scored perfect scores! The behind the scenes are what might have mislead you. Speaking of

QUICK NOTE ON THE ROSTER

As some of you gussed, Rey Misterio has been snatched by AAA. Konnan was only here on a loan, but he might pop back.

Scorpio is out too, having been signed by the WCW. I have decided to parts ways with Woman, as she was extremely expensive of a non wrestler.

Raven is also out... Signed by WCW on the very first week of this game. I cheated a little and added a month to his contract, because I really wanted to end Raven/Dreamer properly, and I feel like it is a good send off, REALLY similar to the Wrestlepalooza 96 one that occured in real life.

Also out are: Jason (written off by the flaming table spot, he was fun but really worthless), Pitbull Gary Wolfe, Chubby & Dances With Dudley, Chad Austin and Damien Stone (love Little Guido but he still needs to learn)

In and having already make their debuts: Homicide, Balls Mahoney, Yoshihiro Tajiri (see: House Party build up post) and WWF enhancement talent on a development deal: Matt & Jeff Hardy!

Also to note: Terry Funk has taken 2 proteges under his wing, and they are quite interesting: Pitbull Anthony Durante aka Crusher Durante (hence why I kept him, I orginally wanted the Pitbulls to leave after the Eliminators match) and newcomer Homicide! This promises to be interesting
