Guest ravman77 Report post Posted January 29, 2004 Finally got round to watching this DVD last night. Anyway, I was shocked at how squashed the Dudleys were in the opening match against the Eliminators for the tag belts. Was there any big reason behind this? I can understand with it being ECW's first ever PPV Heyman wanted to open with a 'feelgood' match/result but the Duds didnt get a shot in at all. Were they in Heymans bad books or something?...

Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted January 30, 2004 Paul had been pushing The Eliminators as "The best team in the world" for a while now, so with a national PPV audience he was pretty much booked into a corner. At WrestlePalooza (also on a Pioneer DVD) the Dudleyz got their revenge and won the belts back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which is a shame cause that could have been a hell of a better feud when the Dudleys got way over as heels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
