The Dudley Boyz Reunite Alongside Elias, Tommy Dreamer Becomes Tag Team Champion In Classic ECW Venue
Bully Ray and D-Von Dudley ‘got the tables’ in an old ECW venue this weekend and Tommy Dreamer got hold of some gold to boot.
The pro wrestling legends took part in the IWC Super Showdown V event outside of Pittsburgh at the Rostraver Ice Garden on Saturday as an extreme reunion took place of sorts.
Tommy Dreamer initially squared off against Channing Decker in singles action, but their battle was thwarted when the IWC Tag Team Champions The Frontline invaded the fight. Thankfully, WWE Hall of Famer Teddy Long was the matchmaker for the evening and forced Tito Oric and Christiano Argento to put their belts on the line against Decker and Dreamer. Decker found some synergy with Dreamer as the former was decked out in Gangstas gear in homage to New Jack and Mustafa. The two ended up becoming the new IWC World Tag Team Champions with a double DDT.
The main event actually had ties to a previous match on the card as Elias (now known as Elijah) took on the upstart Canaan Kristopher, but that match ended up seeing a disqualification due to outside interference.
Retribution later was served as The Dudleyz were set to take on Wes Barkley and Derek Dillinger in an Extreme Rules tag match. Bully Ray had other ideas as they enlisted Elias to team up for trios tables match against Barkley, Dillinger and Kristopher. Guitar shots were doled out and an adversary was ultimately put through a table courtesy of a three-person 3D.
Post-match, Bully Ray got on the mic and gave away a broken piece of the table to a young fan while D-Von made mentioned that he just recovered from back surgery. This was D-Von's second match back since the procedure as during WrestleMania weekend in Philadelphia he teamed up with Bully Ray to face Dreamer and Atsushi Onita.
The event happened to also feature another WWE Hall of Famer as Ron Simmons kicked off the show with an opening promo.
