This Day in History - 24th Jul, 2016

[LionDen]

Continued ...

2007 - WWE broadcast ECW on Sci Fi. Buck Woodward filed the following TV Report:

ECW for July 24th opened with ring announcer Justin Roberts reading a self-serving (and obviously self-written) introduction for "the face of Extreme", ECW Champion John Morrison. Morrison talked about how he was going to "make believers" out of the fans, then recited a poem about how CM Punk would now be "surrounded by darkness". Morrison said Punk would never get another title shot, and that he was "moving onwards and upwards".

Morrison said he was a fighting champion, and that he would give someone a chance to claim "15 minutes of fame". Morrison said if anyone could either beat him or last 15 minutes in a non-title match, he would grant them a title bout. Morrison said he had a tag match later on, but he ran into someone backstage that intimidated him and deserves a shot at "15 minutes of fame". Morrison said this person was from Fresno, California. A much smaller wrestler, who I assume is a local independent wrestler, came out. They started the clock, and Morrison gave him a headbutt. We never even heard what this guy's name was. Morrison took off his jacket, hit a corkscrew neckbreaker, and beat him in 34 seconds. Morrison got on the mic and said that he had tried his best, but he "couldn't get the job done". Morrison said that was his "brush with greatness" and walked off.

A Triple H promo aired. He's returning at Summerslam, in case you didn't know.

Kevin Thorn vs. Stevie Richards.

The ring announcer calls him "Stevie". The trunks say "Stevie". The graphic says "Steven". Thorn kicked Richards in the gut and pounded him down, then whipped Richards into the turnbuckles. Thorn went for a backdrop, but Richards kicked Thorn, then kicked him in the leg, then dropkicked him in the face. Thorn rolled outside to regroup. Thorn got on the apron and Richards shoulderblocked him to the floor. Richards got out on the apron and Thorn knocked out his legs, sending Richards crashing to the floor. Thorn threw Richards back into the ring and put him in a over-the-shoulder backbreaker, then dropped down to his knees. Thorn slammed Richards, then picked him up and slammed him again.

Thorn dropped an elbow to the lower back for a one count. Richards tried to fight back with punches, but Thorn hit a knee to the gut and pounded Richards in a corner. Richards hit a pair of kicks to the gut, then some kicks to the leg. Thorn then caught a kick and hit a spinebuster, but Richards got his shoulder up at two. Thorn sat Richards on the top turnbuckle, then went for a Razor's Edge, but Stevie slipped out of it and grabbed a backslide for the three count at the four minute mark.

Winner: Stevie Richards.

Yes, for the first time since September 5, 2006 (when he beat Balls Mahoney), Stevie Richards has won a match on television. Tazz credited Richards' orange and black trunks, which Styles had made fun of earlier.

They showed clips of Extreme Expose dancing for The Miz last week.

The Miz came out and talked about how he is a "chick magnet". He invited Extreme Expose to come out and watch him in action. Kelly, Brooke and Layla came out and sat at ringside.

The Miz vs. Nunzio.

They traded waistlocks and headlocks at the start, then Miz hit a shoulderblock, but Nunzio swept the leg for a two count. Miz came back with a knee to the gut and a stomp, but Nunzio tripped him with a drop toe hold. Miz ran out of the ring, but Nunzio gave chase. Miz got in the ring, but Nunzio hit a shoulderblock from the apron and a top rope bodypress for a two count. Nunzio missed an avalanche in the corner and got hung up on the top rope, and Miz kicked him in the gut. Miz got a two count, then hit some knees to the gut. Miz hit a clothesline in the corner for a two count. Miz applied a bodyscissors with a chinlock. Nunzio bridged back in it for a two count. Miz hit some fists and forearms, then jumped off the second rope. Nunzio got his foot up, but Miz caught it and landed on his feet. Miz threw Nunzio's leg back, but Nunzio rolled to his feet and hit a series of forearms. Nunzio hit the Sicilian Slice (second rope Rocker Dropper), but Miz kicked out at two. Miz hit a legsweep into a faceplant. Miz then hit a kneelift into a neckbreaker for the pin at the three minute mark.

Winner: The Miz.

Miz said he had a surprise for Extreme Expose and invited them into the ring. He had them play music, and Miz danced with Extreme Expose. They then cut to Big Daddy V getting ready to wrestle. I'm not sure which visual was more disturbing, Miz' dancing or Big Daddy V with no shirt on.

Big Daddy V vs. Jimmy Cruz & Victor Delvino.

They showed a clip of Big Daddy V laying out the Boogeyman two weeks ago. Matt Striker joined the announcers. We never found out who was who on the opposition, not that it mattered. Big Daddy V swatted both men around, then took down one of them with a side mare. V press slammed the other opponent, then flung him out of the ring. V hit the other man with some forearms and chops, then a planted him with a Samoan Drop. Big Daddy V scooped up the other man with one hand and threw him down. V piled them in a corner and hit an avalanche on them. Big Daddy V slammed one of them, then gave the other man a sidewalk slam, planting him on top of his partner for the win in two minutes.

Winner: Big Daddy V.

Highlights of John Cena vs. Bobby Lashley from the Great American Bash was shown.

John Morrison & Elijah Burke vs. CM Punk & Tommy Dreamer.

Punk and Burke started, but Punk demanded that Morrison start the match with him. Morrison tagged in, but Burke took a swing at Punk from the apron, and that distracted him and allowed Morrison to get the upper hand at the beginning. Morrison took Punk down with a side mare and held a side headlock for a while, then hit some punches and tagged in Burke. Burke stomped Punk down in the corner, then hit a forearm to the back. Burke ran into a boot by Punk, then Punk hit some kicks to the legs. Burke reversed a whip, but missed a charge in the corner. Punk hit Morrison on the apron with a running boot, knocking him to the floor. Punk then backdropped Burke to the outside as well, and we went to commercial less than two minutes into the match.

Back from the break, Punk gave Burke a leg lariat, then tagged in Dreamer. Punk gave Burke a drop toe hold and Dreamer delivered an elbow to the back for a two count. Dreamer hit a vertical suplex, then tagged in Punk, who hit a slingshot somersault senton for a two count. Dreamer tagged in and gave Burke a second rope elbow while Punk hit a side slam. There was an "ECW" chant for Dreamer. Buke hit some knees to the body and tagged in Morrison. Morrison went for a cross bodyblock, but Dreamer caught it and hit a fallaway slam. Dreamer gave Morrison a catapult into the turnbuckles for a two count. Dreamer gave Morrison a bulldog for a two count. Dreamer applied a Texas Cloverleaf, but Morrison made the ropes. Dreamer missed a charge in the corner and Morrison went to the ring apron. They exchanged blows, then Morrison slingshotted in over Dreamer and hit an enzugiri, then a dropkick for a two count. Burke tagged in and he and Morrison beat down Dreamer in their corner.

Burke put Dreamer in a chinlock, but Dreamer got out with a jawbreaker. Burke stomped Dreamer in the head, then hit a running kick to the back of the head for a two count.

Burke rubbed Dreamer's face in the mat, then choked him against the middle rope. Burke hit a slingshot double axe handle to the back of Dreamer's head, which was on the ring apron. Morrison tagged in and hit a slingshot kick, knocking Dreamer from the apron to the floor.

Morrison threw Dreamer back in the ring and applied a cobra clutch. Dreamer fought out of it, but Morrison slammed him. Morrison went to the top rope, but Dreamer crotched him and delivered a neckbreaker. Dreamer tagged in Punk, and Morrison dove to tag out to Burke. Punk hit Burke with an elbow, then gave Morrison, who had jumped to the floor to avoid Punk, a pescado. Punk hit Burke with a springboard clothesline, then delivered some kicks and an exploder suplex for a two count. Punk hit a jumping knee in the corner, then a bulldog. Morrison ran in and Punk gave him an enzugiri. Morrison rolled back out of the ring. Burke charged Punk, and Punk scooped him up in a fireman's carry and hit the GTS for the pin at the sixteen minute mark.

Winners: CM Punk & Tommy Dreamer.

Morrison grabbed his title belt and stared at Punk and Dreamer from the floor, then left while his partner was still down in the ring. He stared at Punk from the aisle, and Punk screamed that he wanted the belt as the show ended.

2008 - The FOX affiliate in New York City opened their 10 PM newscast with video footage of an incident that saw former ECW World champion The Sandman arrested during a birthday celebration for Captain Lou Albano. In the video, an obviously inebriated Sandman is seen trying to give a speech for Lou Albano and even stepping atop a banquet table. The video then shows footage of Sandman charging at someone as several others wrestlers, including Philadelphia indy wrestler Annhilation and someone who I believe was Pitbull Gary Wolfe attempt to hold Sandman back. One of the videos show someone brandishing a beer bottle, looking as if they were preparing to throw it. Another clip shows a handcuffed Sandman on the floor surrounded by police officers. Sandman's bail was set at $10,000 after several days of incarceration.

2009 - Ring of Honor presented the first night of their Death Before Dishonor in Chicago Ridge, IL. Matt McAusland followed the following live report:

Ring of Honor Death Before Dishonor Night One

El Generico vs. Sonjay Dutt

Fun opener. Crowd was very into Generico. Very awkward man hug after the traditional handshake to start the match. Dueling chants of "Ole" and "Sonjay" throughout the match. During some slower reversals, a fan yelled "quit stalling" to which Generico responded "Ok!" and slammed Dutt. Some very nice back and forth. 15 minute draw, which the entire crowd crapped all over. "Five more minutes" started, which Generico joined in. Sonjay grabbed the mic "You want five more minutes (crowd cheers)... well I sure as hell don't." and he left. Nice heat getter.

Briscoes vs. Super Smash Bros.

Some very nice double teaming throughout and not just from Mark & Jay. Crowd, our section especially, was very into chanting music from different levels of the original Super Mario Bros. game to get SSB going. Another fun spot when Player 1 blocked a Briscoe kick, yelled "Hey ref, catch!" and tossed the leg to him, then hit a nice hangman neckbreaker for a two count. Briscoes win with a massive Doomsday Device on Player 2. Very nice reaction to the SSB both during and after the match.

D'Lo Brown vs. Frankie the Mobster

Frankie is... strange. Slow start to the match. Crowd loved D'lo. Pretty standard and somewhat slow back and forth. Sky High, 3 count, done. D'lo got on the mic afterwards, sucked up to the crowd "If I could, I'd be here every day and twice on Sundays for you guys" and then pushed the Official ROH After party. Nothing spectacular, but fun and did what it was supposed to.

Jimmy Rave, Claudio Castagnoli, Bison Smith and Joey Ryan vs. Necro Butcher, Colt Cabana, Brent Albright and Grizzly Redwood - 8 man elimination tag match

This was lots of fun. Necro started of the match with a flying headscissors, which immediately got everyone's full attention. Nice "holy $h!t" chant for Colt Cabana doing some posing. Grizz got to be the first bleeder of the night and boy did he. Nice spot in the corner where all four heels were grinding their boots into Grizz's bloody face simultaneously. Bison hits a powerbomb, then Styles Clash and Grizz is the first out. Bison then goes to toss Grizz to the audience, Colt rolls him up, and we're at 3 a piece. Rave ends up bleeding soon after, which was somewhat sick looking as it kept dripping off of his bangs. Faces get some beat down time, Rave rolls up Butcher (may have held the tights or the ropes, but couldn't see as the tall guys in front of us kept standing up. There should really be a thing at Ticketmaster where they don't sell you tickets for the front row unless you're 5'2" or less... but I digress...) and it's 3-2 advantage heels. Butcher snaps, takes Rave and brawls with him outside, so Colt and Albright take the hint and do the same to Ryan and Claudio. Rave counted out, and it's even 2-2. Nice little tag match breaks out for the next ten or so minutes. Albright finally catches Claudio with a half nelson suplex to leave Ryan by himself. Ryan immediately eliminated Albright, but again, those damned standers, so I have no clue how. Let's go with... nutshot. Sounds plausible. Couple of minutes of back and forth with Colt and Ryan. Ryan gets Nana's headdress, pops Colt with it and Joey Ryan is your winner.

Intermission

Bret Hart Promo

Bret came out, was brief and to the point, but still spoke volumes. Put over ROH big time, even made a nice little jab at himself about how "this is what wrestling should be: all these guys busting their butts... and I sign some autographs." Everyone cheered and all is normal in Canada. I'm very afraid if he ever runs for office. We don't have a two term max like the U.S. does for the leader of Canada. Man, the only person who'd beat him is Gretzky.

Kenny Omega vs. Kenny King w/Titus

Seemed to just not be clicking. Omega has that fiery babyface thing down, but he seemed a step or two off tonight. King was great heeling it up. Does a lot of those little things that make people boo him but they don't know why they're doing it. Omega hit a nice inverted hurancanraa (no clue how to spell that one) and then a... really lame double palm to the torso for the win. I'm not sure what the hell that was as I'd never seen Omega before, but send it back to the Street Fighter Hall of Fame; it's not a finisher. After the bout, Omega grabs the mic, pretty typical Face 101 about wanting a shot at Aries tomorrow night for the belt.

Lance Storm and Kevin Steen vs. Davey Richards and Chris Hero w/Shane Hagadorn

Ok, Lance Storm may not be Bret Hart, but he could still get in as a member of parliament quite easily. The crowd loved him. Really solid wrestling to start between Steen and Hero. Steen took a shot at Richards and knocked him off the apron, busting him open hardway behind the ear when he hit the barricade. Both tag out, and some even nicer back and forth between Storm and Richards. Heels got some heat on Storm, who made the hot tag and Steen hit a nice dive over the top for a big guy. Heels gain the advantage and hit some nice double teams. Hot tag to Storm, he cleans house a bit. Finish comes when Storm and Steen lock in stereo Sharpshooters and, as Richards rolled out of the ring, they hit the Hart Attack on Hero and drive the fans insane. Huge pop for the win.

ROH Champion Austin Aries vs. Tyler Black vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Nigel McGuiness

Aries got some very nice (but cheap) heat before the match, stealing Bret's "is/was/will be" bit. Crowd was agitated by that one. Very nicely put together so that it wasn't the typical people breaking up pinfalls and no one sees it coming. Everyone got their shots in and while they were going for the pin, instead of having no clue what was coming, they would strike or counter whoever was coming to stop the pinfall. It makes sense. Right on. Really well done match, tons of nice spots. Finish came when Tyler Black climbed the top rope to hit Nigel, but Kenny King came from the back and knocked him off the top rope, allowing Aries to hit the 450 double leg drop for the win. Post match, Nigel wasn't moving and I'm pretty sure he wasn't just selling it. He was lying very still, the ref was touching the sides of his neck, presumably to see if Nigel could feel it. Took about 5 minutes but Nigel eventually was able to roll slowly out of the ring and be helped to the back.

All in all, I was extremely pleased with the show. Next event is November out in Mississauga, I believe they said the 14th but don't quote that as gospel. The only downside to the show were a couple of knuckleheads that wanted to be the show. One guy kept yelling out random "inside" comments during matches. He nearly got mobbed by the entire section though after making a comment during D'Lo's match about Frankie needing to "watch out for the running powerbomb, it's quite paralyzing." That stuff is just pathetic. Same goes for the other moron of the night that, during the main event, any time the ref would count two and there was a kickout he would yell about how the ref ruined his life or how the ref was terrible etc. Again, just stupid stuff. I've got no problem with people being a bit rowdy and getting into it, but don't be a goof. There's a line, and both of those guys had no clue where it was. The ref yeller nearly got mobbed too as he wouldn't stop yelling at the ref after the main event when Nigel was clearly injured. Aside from those two goofballs, awesome night, worth every penny.

2014 - TNA broadcast Impact Wrestling. Stu Carapola filed the following TV report:

Welcome to the Impact Wrestling Report here on PWInsider.com!

After looking back at last week's show, we go right to the ring where Bobby Roode comes out for his Falls Count Anywhere match with MVP. MVP doesn't come out, and we go to the back where MVP is telling Angle he refuses to wrestle because he's still suffering from the torn meniscus. Angle tells MVP to get out to the ring, but Roode decides that since it's Falls Count Anywhere, he might as well head to the back and beat the crap out of MVP there...

Falls Count Anywhere: MVP vs Bobby Roode

Roode batters MVP all through the backstage area and out into the crowd. MVP low blows Roode and they brawl across the floor where MVP takes a (horribly overpriced, trust me) beer from a fan and throws it in Roode's face. MVP tries for a bicycle kick while Roode is blinded, but Roode sees it coming and MVP "impales" himself on the guardrail. Roode yanks up and down on the guardrail and sends MVP flying to ringside, groin in hand, but Roode comes after him and MVP hits another shot to the ding ding. He makes a series of covers on the floor and can't put Roode away, so he goes for a suplex and gets reversed by Roode, who dumps MVP right on the entry ramp. Kenny King comes out to try and distract Roode, but Eric Young comes out and nails King so Roode can concentrate on MVP. MVP shoves Roode into the ring steps, then rolls Roode into the ring and DESTROYS him with a chair. He's doing an "Austin at Wrestlemania 17" job on Roode with the chair, but Roode comes back with a shot to MVP's knee and now he has the chair, which he uses to assault MVP's bad knee and apply the second-worst applied Sharpshooter I've ever seen. MVP taps out instantly.

Winner: Bobby Roode

Great opener, this is great action.

We look back at last week when Jeff Hardy failed to defeat Bobby Lashley for the TNA World Title, then we see Hardy backstage, where he's...LIMPING! We'll hear what's on his mind after this commercial!

We look back at last week when Team 3D reunited and nearly put Dixie Carter through a table, then Dixie is backstage saying that Bully has been promising that he'd put her through a table, but she guarantees that she'll be the one standing over Bully's dead body tonight.

Jeff Hardy comes out to the ring and says Jeff Hardy is back by popular demand, but we haven't seen the last of Willow and he may come back out here with a painted face and mask. Last week's match against Lashley was what it's all about here in TNA, but he wants to talk about the future. He brought someone with him to be a part of TNA's future (the crowd chants "we want Matt"), he's older than Jeff, he's coldblooded, he has a great mind for professional wrestling, and he introduces his brother Matt Hardy! Matt comes out to a huge reaction and a welcome back chant, and he says he loves the crazy and passionate New York City fans. He thanks Jeff for bringing him here because this isn't about the Hardy Boyz getting back together, it's about two brothers getting back together. They grew up with a dream to become tag team champions and they did it multiple times. He had to step away and get healthy over the last couple of years, and he feels like he let Jeff and the fans down by doing that. He could come out and apologize for everything, but he could let his actions speak for him, and it's time for the two kids from North Carolina to be the World Tag Team Champions one more time. He can't think of a better place to do that than at Destination X, but for them to be the best, they have to beat the best. The crowd goes WHOOOOO as Matt says the best team in the world are the Wolves, and he wants to invite them down to the ring right now. The Wolves come down to the ring with the belts, and Eddie says that they have nothing but respect for the Hardys and everything they've done for tag team wrestling. Davey says they didn't come here to talk, they came here to fight, and it's on for the title at Destination X. Okay, I officially can't wait for that one!

Austin Aries is backstage and says he's made his decision, but he wants to change the equation and he'll explain what that means later tonight.

The Bromans are in the ring as we come back from commercial, and Jessie declares that Robbie is no longer afraid of clowns. Robbie was on one of the tightest reality shows around, and they've got the best DJ in the world, DJ Z. DJ Z says he's the best wrestler in the X Division, and at Destination X, he'll prove that he's the best thing in the X Division and the King of New York.

DJ Z vs Low Ki

Oh boy, DJ Z is in for it. Low Ki nails several kicks and a charging elbow into the corner, but DJ Z slips out underneath him and yanks him down face first on the top turnbuckle. Zema covers for 2, but Low Ki baseball slides Robbie and Jessie, sunset flips Zema, and double stomps his chest. Low Ki hits repeated elbowstrikes to Zema's head, a shotgun dropkick, and puts Zema away with the Ki Krusher.

Winner: Low Ki

Geez, talk about a squash! Great to see Low Ki back, he looks great for a guy who was ready to quit a year ago.

Gunner and Sam Shaw are backstage and Shaw says he's probably one of the most normal guys in New York, but then Anderson comes in and tells Shaw that he and Gunner have a match tonight and that he better not try and get involved. Shaw tells Anderson that he doesn't have a reason to trust him, but one day he will. Anderson says "no" and walks out.

Dixie's crew is backstage as EC3 says he is street because he grew up on the streets of Boca Raton, Florida. Dixie comes in with King Mo and says that she made a mistake in not taking Rampage out in his hometown, and that EC3, Spud, and Rhino need to take Dreamer and Team 3D out in New York City.

Magnus & Bram vs Gunner & Ken Anderson

Magnus briefly dukes it out with Gunner before tagging Bram in to brutalie Gunner. Gunner gets fired up and hammers back on Bram, and if it weren't for the tattoos, I'd have trouble telling these guys apart. Gunner nails Bram with a high knee, but Bram flattens Gunner with a clothesline. Magnus and Anderson are in and Anderson takes control with a rolling neckbreaker and a BAAAAAAAAAAAAACK bodydrop, then hits the Finlay roll. Magnus blocks the Mic Check and they go out to the floor where Bram rams Anderson into the ringpost. Magnus brings Anderson back inside and hits a nice uranage and pins Anderson.

Winners: Magnus & Bram

Magnus and Bram continue to attack Anderson while Gunner is out on the floor. Bram rolls Gunner back inside and prepares to hit him with a spare turnbuckle from under the ring when Samuel Shaw runs out and stands in Bram's way. He willingly takes the bullet as Bram hammers him with the turnbuckle, then they go back to beating on Gunner until Abyss comes out and destroys Bram with a couple of clotheslines and goozles him over the top rope to the floor. Let's see, Gunner, Samuel Shaw, Abyss, and Ken Anderson. There's some crew.

Austin Aries is backstage, and he's...WALKING! We'll find out if he wants to cash in the X Division Title for a TNA World Title shot after this commercial!

Bully Ray is backstage and says he's losing sleep because he wants to put Dixie Carter through a table SO bad. He wants to rid the wrestling business of this woman, and tonight, the three of them will ride together one more time. Tommy Dreamer says to relax because it's going to happen because there's no two men he'd rather do this with tonight, and Devon says testify.

We look back at the history of Austin Aries and Option C, then Kurt Angle comes out to the ring and says that Destination X is next week and it's a chance for the X Division to show their skills. He invites Aries out to the ring and says that every wrestler who has cashed in on Option C has won the World Title, and Aries has a winning lottery ticket. All Aries has to do right now is hand the title over and he has a shot at Bobby Lashley next week. Aries says it seems like a foregone conclusion, but before he can announce his decision, Bobby Lashley and MVP come out to the ring. MVP puts over Lashley's physical prowess and advantages over Aries and says he's what a champion looks like. MVP says Aries is a pretty good wrestler and isn't a dumb guy, and he knows the fans love his brand, but it's not gonna happen. A lot of time went into giving the X Division equity, so he suggests Aries keep the title and stick to what he knows instead of jumping into water too deep for him. Option C worked once, but he won't catch lightning in a bottle. Aries says he knows about making things great, what it takes to be World Champion unlike MVP, and he knows what Aries can do in the ring and that's why he held him back. He created Option C because he believes in the X Division, and he wanted to leave a legacy for that title because it sets TNA apart. It means you're willing to leave it all in the ring, and he does things in the ring MVP couldn't do with four good legs. He's come too far to turn back now and he has unfinished business with the TNA World Title. Lashley's ibgger and stronger than he is, but he's not tougher than Aries, and there isn't a man he's stepped in the ring with who he didn't know he could beat. He hands the title over to Angle and says next week when he beats Lashley, he's going to change the game again and will create Option D and allow the X Division Champion to challenge for the World Title anytime he wants instead of once a year. Angle says it's official for next week: Austin Aries vs Bobby Lashley for the TNA World Title.

We look back at the first two Gail Kim-Taryn Terrell mathes from last year, and they'll have the tiebreaker match...NEXT!

Knockouts Title Match: Gail Kim vs Taryn Terrell

They do a bit of mat wrestling before a back and forth ends with Gail nailing Taryn with a clothesline. Terrell gets a couple of near falls off of rollups, then comes off the second rope with a clothesline of her own for 2. Taryn tries going to the top rope, but Gail counters with a Kurt Angle superplex for 2. Gail hits the crossbody in the corner, but then a double crossbody wipes both ladies out. The New York crowd shows how clever they are by starting a "you screwed Bret" chant at Gail Kim. Ha. Taryn is in control with a nice series of moves and goes back to the top. Velvet Sky suddenly comes out and shoves Terrell off the top rope as Angelina Love comes in and hits Gail with the Botox Injection.

NO CONTEST

The Great Muta is backstage, and he's...WALKING! He'll be in the ring after this commercial!

Dixie Carter is backstage and tells someone on the phone to have her car ready for her. Sounds like she's planning a quick getaway! We'll see how that goes.

Jeremy Borash introduces the Great Muta, who comes out in full Muta gear. Robbie E comes out and asks if this is a joke because first Low Ki gets a grand entrance, and now the Not-So-Great Muta gets a grand entrance. Robbie asks what about the biggest star in this company and where his grand entrance is. Robbie challenges Muta to a match right now, so looks like we have an impromptu one!

The Great Muta vs Robbie E

Robbie sneak attacks Muta and pounds on him with forearms, but he throws the referee across the ring and turns around into a face full of green mist. Muta takes robbie down and hits the twisting elbow, hits the Dragon screw legwhip, and hits the Shining Wizard for 3.

Winner: The Great Muta

Now James Storm comes out to the ring with a microphone and says that he must be the legend all the boys in the back are talking about. All he sees is a great fraud, a joke, and a hasbeen. He may have Sanada fooled, but all he sees is another man coming into a company that his body built since day one and trying to relive the glory years. He's the legend in this company, and where he comes from in the great state of Tennessee, they don't spit mist. Storm spits his beer in Muta's face and proceeds to beat the crap out of him, then lays out another Japanese wrestler who tries to come to his mentor's aid. Sanada runs in with a chair and Storm bails and starts to walk up the ramp. Muta stands up and sprays the red mist in the air as a warning to Storm, but Sanada suddenly nails Muta with the chair and then sprays his own red mist in the face of the other Japanese guy. He goes to the top rope and moonsaults onto Muta, then goes out to ringside and bows to Storm. Storm goes back down to the ring, grabs his beer, and motions Sanada to the back before doing one more beer spew to mock Muta.

The participants in tonight's main event are backstage, and they're...WALKING!

Mike and Taz run down the card for next week's Destination X show, then we go to JEremy Borash in the balcony with Dixie Carter and King Mo. Dixie says Mo has her back tonight, and he's genuinely one of the biggest badasses around. They're here to watch Bully Ray go down for good, and says this is her fault for allowing Tommy Dreamer to have his reunion with his group of hasbeens. Tommy thinks he's somebody again, but if somebody wants to chant "those letters" then she'll give them a reason to.

It's main event time!

New York City Streetfight: Tommy Dreamer & Team 3D vs Ethan Carter III, Rhino & Rockstar Spud

They start brawling as soon as the bell rings, and Dreamer takes Spud out to ringside and throws him a beating while Team 3D works over EC3 in the ring. Bubba press slams Spud over the top rope onto EC3, then Team 3D double tackles Rhino before Dreamer comes in and nails him with a pair of cookie sheets. They go out to the floor to continue working over Dixie's troops as we go to commercial. We're back and Bully is unloading on EC3 in the ring as Dreamer throws a trash can full of weapons into the ring. Bubba uses a cheese grater on EC3's chest, and the crowd chants that they want blood as Bubba puts a trash can lid over EC3's ding ding, then Devon smashes another lid and Dreamer smashes a Singapore cane on it. Rhino is in and quickly takes out all three opponents, but Devon blocks the Gore with a big boot and rams Rhino into a trash can wedged in the corner. Spud is all by himself now, and he quickly finds himself on the receiving end of a Doomsday Device from Team 3D. 3D with a double flapjack on EC3, then Dreamer hangs EC3 in the Tree of Woe, puts a trash can in front of his face, and baseball slides it into EC3's mug. Bubba slams Rhino and he and Dreamer hold Rhino's legs for WHAZZUP from Devon. Team 3D gets the tables, but some guy in a hoodie nails Devon from the crowd. Bubba drags him over the rail and attacks him as Dreamer piledrives Spud, then hits a White Russian legsweep on EC3 before giving him another good shot from the Singapore cane. Dreamer goes for a piledriver onto the chair, but another hooded guy comes out of the crowd and clotheslines Dreamer into next week. He pulls the hood off and it's the former Ezekiel Jackson. EC3 hits the front bulldog onto the chair and pins Dreamer.

Winners: Ethan Carter III, Rhino & Rockstar Spud

Dixie and King Mo come down to ringside and we see that the other hooded guy was Gene Snitsky as they walk past him, and she gets in just as Rhino gores Devon. Bubba comes into the ring and gets the CRAP kicked out of him by Dixie's gang. You know, Dixie might not have been bluffing when she said she had even bigger, tougher guys on her side than MVP. Zeke gives Dreamer a Rock Bottom and Snitsky chokeslams Bubba. Dixie stands over the fallen ECW originals and raises EC3's hand as her music plays and we call it a week.
