The Return of ECW

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

At Wrestlemania XX...

 

In the World title match, Triple-H and Shawn Michaels do a double-pin spot on Chris Benoit, and the match is considered a tie between the two. The plan is to have Triple-H and Michaels build off of this match to continue their feud.

 

Goldberg goes over Lesnar clean in their one on one match, almost a squash, and proceeds to sign a long-term big money deal with the WWE.

 

WWE Champion Eddy Guerrero and Kurt Angle only get 10 minutes to work in their match, and the finish is a lackluster DQ with Angle using the title belt as a weapon for no apparent reason.

 

The cruiserweight elimination match is only given a few minutes and Spike Dudley goes over as the new cruiserweight champion.

 

Rob Van Dam, Matt Hardy, and Hurricane Helms were left off the card.

 

 

At the NWA TNA PPV

 

 

The World title match is Jeff Jarrett going over Randy Savage, with popular talent such as AJ Styles, Raven, and Jerry Lynn being held back to lower profile matches.

 

 

On Raw after Wrestlemania, the disgruntled workers decide to revolt. They meet in the ring as the show goes on the air, unplanned. The list consists of Chris Benoit, Eddy Guerrero, Kurt Angle, Brock Lesnar, Rob Van Dam, Matt Hardy, Hurricane Helms and Rey Misterio Jr. Vince McMahon comes to the ring in an outrage. He says the reason they all lost at Wrestlemania, or weren’t wrestling at all, is because they are all second rate superstars and didn’t deserve the spotlight. He says if anyone else feels the same way, they can come out now. Nunzio, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Ultimo Dragon, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, Shannon Moore, Sho Funaki, Chris Kanyon, Sean O’Haire, Paul London, Billy Kidman, Rhyno, Chavo Guerrero Jr., Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards, and Lance Storm all hit the ring, and Vince gets a bewildered look on his face. He says that this is fine, and he still has all of his real superstars on his side. You’re all fired! Lesnar takes the mic and says that Vince is too late, they quit. Vince says there’s nowhere else to go, no competition. Paul Heyman then walks out and reveals that every man in the ring is now under contract with EXTREME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING. They all leave the arena, never to return to Vince's hell.

 

In TNA, in a slightly less extreme move, Jerry Lynn, AJ Styles, Low Ki, CM Punk, Julio Deniro and Raven all leave the company for ECW as well.

 

Several other wrestlers also sign with ECW, including Steve Corino, Justin Credible, CW Anderson, Simon Diamond, Spanky, Sabu, Super Crazy, The Sandman, and Perry Saturn.

 

Heyman begins running shows in the northeast, mainly Philadelphia again. He decides to revive the ECW World title, ECW TV title, and ECW Tag Team titles.

 

A 16 man/team tournament is set for each title. The participants are as follows:

[TheFranchise 0]

Sorry if i'm not supposed to post in here.. But do you really need three tourni's for all titles?

[JJMc 0]

I think Brock would be an awesome fit in a promotion like this, and would be a great first champion.

One tournament for each title sounds right to me?

TV TITLE TOURNAMENT

Stevie is back in his short shorts and cut off t-shirt attire from ECW. Richards wins cleanly with the Stevie kick after Kidman misses the shooting star press at 8:29.

 

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Perry Saturn

Tajiri wins cleanly with a brainbuster at 8:35 to a nice ovation from the crowd.

 

Paul London vs. Tony Mamaluke

Ultimo Dragon vs. Simon Diamond (w/ Dawn Marie)

Dragon wins this one with the Dragon Sleeper at 6:54

 

Rey Misterio Jr. vs. Chavo Guerrero Jr.

Rey wins this with an insane somersault hurricanrana into a pinning combination at 13:45.

 

Matt Hardy vs. Shane Helms

Hardy wins this one with a guillotine legdrop off the top rope at 11:34. These two both showed off high flying skills that they were forced to hold back in the WWE.

 

Quarterfinals

 

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Stevie Richards

Tajiri ducks the Stevie kick and hits one of his own, followed by a brainbuster for the win at 9:13.

 

Paul London vs. Guido Maritato

Guido crotches London on the top rope and hits the kiss of death off the top, right on London's face in a "Holy shit!" moment for the win at 13:05.

 

Ultimo Dragon vs. CW Anderson

Ultimo does a sweet reversal of the spinebuster to a tornado DDT in midair, and finishes with a moonsault at 8:59.

 

Matt Hardy vs. Rey Misterio Jr.

Semifinals

 

Yoshihiro Tajiri vs. Guido Maritato

Guido goes for what looks to be a powerbomb off the top, but Tajiri fights his way out and spikes Guido with a brainbuster for the academic pin at 14:22.

 

Matt Hardy vs. Ultimo Dragon

Ultimo attempts the Asai moonsault on the outside, but is caught in mid-air by Matt and tombstoned on the arena floor. Matt rolls him into the ring, and hits the guillotine legdrop off the top to seal the deal at 13:59.

 

FINALS

 

Matt Hardy vs. Yoshihiro Tajiri

This match has great heat, as Matt has pissed off the fans by beating 3 very popular babyfaces already tonight, and Tajiri has wowed the fans with his array of offense. Hardy works over Tajiri's neck the whole match. Tajiri makes the comeback however, and goes for his handspring elbow off the ropes. But, Hardy catches him in perfect position for a dragon suplex, and nails it for the win and the ECW TV title at 14:50. The ring fills with trash as Hardy poses with the belt.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

awesome dude, cant wait for the other two tourneys, this is great, keep it up.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

WORLD TITLE TOURNAMENT

 

Chris Benoit vs. Rhyno

Rhyno spikes Benoit with a piledriver, but only gets a two count. Benoit is visibly shaken up by the piledriver, and looks to be in a daze. Rhyno prepares for the gore in the corner, but Benoit moves and Rhyno smashes his shoulder on the ringpost. Benoit staggers into the other corner, still groggy. Rhyno tries to shake it off and go for another gore, but Benoit side-steps him, catches him in mid-gore with the crossface on Rhyno's hurt arm, and gets the submission at 16:55. Rhyno teases a post-match attack on Benoit, but instead extends his hand as a sign of respect, and Benoit shakes it.

 

AJ Styles vs. Jerry Lynn

These two had great matches in TNA, and lived up to their legacy here. Styles squeaks by with the win with the Styles Clash at 17:12.

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Rob Van Dam

The fans were firmly behind RVD in this one, as he was a huge part of the old ECW. They marked out for everything he did. But in the end, he couldn't overcome the stiff power offense of Brock. RVD goes for the Van Daminator, but Brock ducks and smashes RVD over the head with the chair. One F-5 later, and Brock moves on in the tournament with the win at 12:44.

 

Kurt Angle vs. Eddy Guerrero

These two were paired together so they can show the crowd what they can really do, not being held back to 10 minutes with a cheap ass finish like at Wrestlemania. Crowd is firmly behind Guerrero, as he was a face in the WWE and he is a former ECW TV champ. Guerrero works the constantly injured neck of Angle, and naturally, Angle works the leg to prepare for the ankle lock. Guerrero seems to have things going his way. He flips out of the Angle slam and hits a belly to back suplex, right on the neck. His injured leg slows his climb to the top, and gives Angle time to move out of the way of the frog splash. He locks on the ankle lock and Guerrero is screaming in pain. He reaches the ropes, but Angle pulls him back. He looks as if hes about to tap, but he pushes up and musters all his strength to flip Angle over into a pinning combination for the win out of nowhere at 25:15! The crowd goes nuts! Guerrero eventually makes it to his feet, and extends his hand. Angle goes to shake his hand, but grabs him and hits the Angle slam instead to huge heel heat. Then he smashes Guerrero's ankle with a chair, and locks in the Ankle lock until a group of face wrestlers come in and pull him off.

 

Steve Corino vs. Sabu

A big ovation for both men, both former ECW World champions. Bill Alfonso is with Sabu, and Sabu plays the face. The match is very old school ECW style. Corino bleeds buckets and Sabu destroys Corino and himself with insane offense. The end comes when Sabu goes for the Arabian facebuster off the top rope, and Corino moves. Sabu is writhing in pain clutching both legs. Corino takes advantage of this and slaps on the figure four. Sabu passes out from pain and Corino takes the win at 16:51.

 

Lance Storm vs. Masato Tanaka

Once again a great ECW star welcome for both men, especially Tanaka. Storm plays the heel in his one. This was a back and forth match with Storm worked the leg, presumably to set up the half-crab or the sharpshooter. He finally locks in the sharpshooter, but Tanaka makes the ropes. Storm decides to abandon the knee work, because he hasn't gotten him the win yet. He seemingly starts to just try everything to keep Tanaka down. But, during a superplex attempt, Tanaka reverses it and drops Storm face first down on the mat. Tanaka, still on the top turnbuckle, pulls Storm into the corner and hits the Diamond Dust (sort of a top rope rolling Ace Crusher) for the win at 16:55.

 

Tommy Dreamer vs. Justin Credible

Pop of the night goes to Dreamer. Credible, although a former ECW champ, gets nothing but huge heel and "Just-in ass-hole" chants. Just an old ECW-style brawl with Dreamer ducking a chairshot, and hitting the DDT on the chair for the win at 12:02.

 

Raven vs. The Sandman

Accompanying Raven to ringside is... Stevie Richards! Sandman gets a huge pop and his long entrance. Another old ECW brawl, with both men bleeding profusely. Sandman nails Raven right in the face with the singapore cane, but turns around right into a Stevie kick. Tommy Dreamer hits the ring and rids it of Richards, but it's too late. Raven hits the Evenflow DDT to move on in the tournament at 11:25.

 

Quarterfinals

 

Chris Benoit vs. AJ Styles

This is, to my knowledge, the first match ever between these two. They don't dissapoint as both men pull out all the stops - mat and submission wrestling, aerial moves, and varieties of suplexes. Styles tries to finish with a top rope powerbomb, but Benoit fights out of it and hits a SICK top rope brainbuster and the pin is academic at 22:44. Standing ovation from the crowd for both men. Benoit extends his hand to Styles, who took forever to get up. Styles instead spits in Benoit's face and walks out of the ring. Rhyno takes exception to this, and meets AJ on the entrance ramp with a gore to one of the biggest pops of the night.

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Eddy Guerrero

Eddy comes to the ring limping terribly from his match with Angle. Brock knows what to do. He centers all his offense on destroying Eddy's leg. Eddy makes several small comebacks, but nothing special. The closest he comes to the win is hitting a surprise belly to back suplex on Brock. He then makes the mistake of climbing the ropes for the frog splash, and his leg cannot hold up. He falls on the top turnbuckle, and Brock just demolishes him with a top rope powerbomb and a one handed pin at 13:35. Brock is able to defeat the severly injured Guerrero quite handily, and therefore will be fresher than Benoit for their semifinal match.

 

Masato Tanaka vs. Steve Corino

Another ECW brawl, with this one being the best brawl of the night. Corino, once again, suffers amazing blood loss. Back and forth match with Tanaka getting the win after the roaring elbow and a powerbomb through a table at 14:54.

 

Raven vs. Tommy Dreamer

I think everyone knows the history here. Sandman is at ringside and starts caning Stevie Richards right away. He then handcuffs himself to Richards to prevent interference. Good back and forth brawl. Dreamer gets Raven up for the Death Valley Driver, but a masked man hits the ring. He powerbombs the life out of Dreamer, then splashes him from the top rope. Sandman is trying to help but Richards is pulling him back. Raven covers for the win at 12:29. The masked man unmasks to reveal MIKE AWESOME. Awesome and Raven shake hands after the match.

 

Semifinals

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Chris Benoit

This match was a true classic with both men pulling out ALL stops. Brock tries everything but Benoit just won't stay down. He even kicks out of the F-5. Benoit begins to mount the comeback and Brock senses his win slipping away. He resorts to smashing Benoit over the head with a steel chair. This knocks Benoit out cold and Lesnar hits a northern lights suplex with a bridge for the pin at 29:55. The announcers put over Benoit by saying that he took everything Brock had, and it took a cheap chairshot to finally keep him down.

 

Masato Tanaka vs. Raven

Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman are in Tanaka's corner. Richards and Awesome are in Raven's. Raven has the advantage for most of the match, using heel tactics and cheap interference before Dreamer and Sandman can stop them. Raven looks to be in trouble, and Richards tries to interfere. He and Dreamer begin to brawl, and Sandman comes over to help. They doubleteam Richards to a huge pop, but forget about Awesome. Awesome pastes them both with chairshots. He interferes and hits an Awesome bomb on Tanaka. Raven covers, and it only gets two! Neither Raven or Awesome can believe it. Awesome grabs the chair and heads back in the ring, and the crowd begins to ERUPT. Awesome stops dead in his tracks and can feel something is wrong. And it's TERRY FUNK. He wraps barbed wire around the throat of Awesome and pulls him off the apron. Raven is livid in the ring. Tanaka gets up! Raven's eyes get wide and the crowd goes crazy. They know Raven is about to get his. Tanaka hits three lariats on Raven and has him reeling. Roaring elbow! Powerbomb! And a death valley driver gets the win to put Tanaka in the finals at 14:58.

 

FINALS

 

Brock Lesnar vs. Masato Tanaka

Tanaka has grown a huge following throughout the tournament, and this match shows it. Huge pop for every move he makes. This was without a doubt the stiffest match of the night, with both men really beating the hell out of each other. The ending comes with Tanaka going for the diamond dust on a chair... but Brock catches him halfway through it in a reverse F5 position. He proceeds to drop Tanaka headfirst on the chair with a BURNING HAMMER (reverse death valley driver) and Brock gets the clean win to become the ECW World champion at 16:41.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

nice show, and Brock as ECW champ is a good idea. Looking forward to the tag one

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

yay, I have ONE fan out of all the people who have read this voice your opinion, people!

[Guest Real F'n Show]

when will you post the tag tourney? and btw, this is good stuff, you probably have more fans than me that are reading this, they just dont reply. Keep it up, your doing a good job so far

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

I'll most likely do the tag tourney tomorrow (thursday)

[NoCalMike 0]

Would be great if somehow Heyman arranged for the winner of a NWA-TNA tourny to throw down the belt and proclaim himself as the new ECW champ and then walk out of the ppv. Just like Shane Douglas did to NWA back in 93.

Too unoriginal

[Guest Real F'n Show]

who wants to bet the Dudleyz return and destroy all of the competition with 3D's before taking the tag straps?

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

Lance Storm & Justin Credible vs. Sabu & Rob Van Dam

The Impact Players reunite in this one. Van Dam and Sabu start out with their aerial offense, popping the crowd. Van Dam gets stuck as face in peril and has a great heat segment on him for a while. Finally, he makes the hot tag. Sabu cleans house and sets up a table on the outside. He sets up Storm on the table and moonsaults him right through it! HOLY SHIT chants! Both men are down. Van Dam takes control of Credible in the ring. He goes for a moonsault press off the top, but Credible catches him and hit's That's Incredible for the 3 count at 13:59.

 

Chris Kanyon & Sean O'Haire vs. CM Punk & Julio Deniro

Kanyon plays face in peril for a little bit, but makes the tag to O'Haire. Kanyon recovers and they do some very inventive double teaming on their opposition. They toss Punk, and finish Deniro with a flatliner/Seanton bomb combination at 7:25. Styles calls them The Innovators.

 

Raven & Stevie Richards vs. The Sandman & Tommy Dreamer

The crowd was sure into this one. Classic ECW brawl from start to finish, all over the arena. Of course you get the interference of Mike Awesome and Terry Funk. Awesome interferes and powerbombs Dreamer on the concrete floor. Funk comes in and chases off Awesome. Sandman sets Raven up for a DDT in the ring, but Richards hits the Stevie kick and Raven pins Sandman at 12:59.

 

 

Yoshihiro Tajiri & Masato Tanaka vs. CW Anderson & Simon Diamond

Great old school match here with Tajiri being face in peril, and Anderson & Diamond wrestling alot like the old Horsemen teams. Tanaka gets the tag and it ends up in a brawl. Tanaka hits the Diamond Dust off the apron to the ring floor on Diamond. In the ring, CW smashes Tajiri with a sick spinebuster, but gets up and gets hit with the roaring elbow and the pin at 14:50. Tajiri and Tanaka advance in the title tournament.

 

Guido Maritato & Tony Mamaluke vs. Spanky & Paul London

Spanky and London start this one out quickly with high flying offense. London looks to finish really fast with a shooting star press, but Guido moves and London lands shoulder-first. The FBI go to work on the shoulder of London for a long time before he can finally make the hot tag. Spanky cleans house and brawls with Mamaluke on the outside. London takes control for a while, but the injured arm comes back into play during a suplex attempt. Guido locks on a nasty looking armbar submission and gets London to tap at 15:33.

 

Eddy Guerrero & Jerry Lynn vs. AJ Styles & Steve Corino

The heels immediately target Eddy's knee and continue with it throughout the match. Corino tries to end it with the figure four, but Eddy fights his way to the ropes. He eventually gets the hot tag and takes on both heels. Eddy joins the frey and pairs off with Corino. They fight on the outside and Eddy musters up all his remaining strength to fight out of a Corino suplex and turn it into a brainbuster of his own on the floor. In the ring, Lynn counters a Styles rana attempt with a powerbomb, and finishes with the cradle pildriver at 17:05.

 

Brock Lesnar & Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit & Rhyno

This match pitted four of the biggest name stars in the company clashing. Benoit plays face in peril for a while and the fans are just begging for Rhyno to get the tag. He eventually does and comes in and overpowers both men. He gores Brock right through the ropes to the outside. They brawl out there and Angle picks apart the tired Benoit inside the ring. Angle says it's over, and sets up for the Angle slam. Brock misses a blind charge and hits the ring post. Rhyno slides in and hits a perfectly timed gore on Angle, right as he has Benoit up in the air for the Angle slam. Benoit lands on top of Angle for the three count at 17:25.

 

Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. Ultimo Dragon & Rey Misterio Jr.

Rey and Ultimo dominate the beginning of the match. Rey ranas Shelton over the top, then ducks a charge from Haas and dumps him over. Dragon hits the Asai moonsault on both men on the outside, but injures his knee in the process. Haas & Benjamin take advantage of this and work over his knee in their corner. Joey Styles notes that this will take away Dragon's kicks, which are a huge part of his offense. He makes the tag to Rey, however, and Rey comes in with the goods. 619 to both men. He goes for the springboard rana on Benjamin, but gets caught and powerbombed. STRAIGHT TO HELL BAH GAWD, LIKE A CAR WRECK ON I95. Oh sorry, forgot JR isn't an announcer in ECW. Ultimo comes back in but Benjamin hits him with a kneebreaker, ala Ric Flair. He locks in a half crab and Ultimo taps at 17:20.

 

Quarterfinals

 

Storm & Credible vs. Kanyon & O'Haire

Storm & Credible single out Kanyon, as he was the one most worn down in the earlier matchup. Nothing out of the ordinary ensues, hot tag to O'Haire. O'Haire cleans house and Credible grabs the singapore cane out of desperation and beats the hell out of O'Haire with it. Kanyon and Storm take a brawl to the outside. Credible sets up O'Haire for That's Incredible, but O'Haire reverses it and hits a sick sitdown tombstone for the win at 12:55.

 

Raven & Richards vs. Tajiri & Tanaka

Mike Awesome attacks Tanaka before the match starts and knocks him out cold on the outside. Tajiri does his best to overcome both men. He knocks Richards out of the ring and follows him out with a suicide dive through the ropes into the guard rail. Tanaka finally staggers into the ring and attempts to overcome Raven, but gets hit with the Evenflow DDT for the loss at 9:59.

 

Eddy & Lynn vs. FBI

Eddy's knee is still an automatic target. The FBI make sure to keep him in the corner and work it over the entire match. They try their hardest to get him to tap out, but Eddy will not give up, and that really gets the crowd behind him. After an excellent heat segment on Eddy, he FINALLY makes the tag to a HUGE pop. Lynn comes in and is fresh enough to beat up both guys at first, but eventually they knock him out of the ring. Mamaluke hits a moonsault off the top to the outside on Lynn and both men are out after that. Eddy limps back into the ring and Guido just laughs at him. He dropkicks the knee and goes to lock Eddy in a half crab, but Eddy sits up and pulls Guido down with a small package for the surprise win at 17:55. The crowd goes crazy!

 

Benoit & Rhyno vs. Haas & Benjamin

Fans expected something special here, and the wrestlers didn't dissapoint. Chris Benoit is YOUR face in peril. When he makes the hot tag, Haas & Benjamin look like they've just shit themselves. GORE! GORE! Cover on Benjamin for 2. Cover on Haas for two. Benjamin and Rhyno brawl. Benoit comes back in and sets Benoit on the top rope for a belly to belly suplex. Rhyno comes up behind him and grabs Haas for a belly to back suplex. They all hit their suplexes at once in a HOLY SHIT moment, and Benoit ends up on the complete other side of the ring. Benjamin uses this as an opportunity to slide in and steal the pinfall on Benoit at 17:20.

 

Semifinals (from here on I'm gonna be quick with the results, because it's Valentine's Day and it's almost time to go out)

 

Chris Kanyon & Sean O'Haire vs. Raven & Stevie Richards

Raven and Richards single out O'Haire in this one. He makes the hot tag to Kanyon. O'Haire comes back in and everyone brawls. Stevie kick on O'Haire, but he ducks, and hits a superkick of his own knocking Richards out of the ring. Kanyon fights out of an Evenflow DDT and hits the Flatliner on Raven. Seanton bomb, and Kanyon & O'Haire are in the finals at 13:03.

 

Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. Eddy Guerrero & Jerry Lynn

The faces are smarter in this one, as Lynn starts the match out. Guerrero's knee is worthless and he can barely stand on the apron. Lynn is stuck in a 2 on 1 situation for a while, not wanting to tag Eddy because of his knee. Finally he can't take it anymore and tags Eddy in. Eddy is limping, but he's running on adrenaline and fights off both guys. Benjamin finally catches a break and throws Eddy through the ropes to the outside. He hits Eddy with a kneebreaker on the steel steps, and Eddy is gone from the match. Lynn tries to overcome them and goes for the hot tag, but there's no one there. As he stands up, Haas grabs him in a waistlock, Benjamin hits the superkick, and Haas brings him over in the German suplex for the win at 15:51.

 

FINALS

 

Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin vs. Chris Kanyon & Sean O'Haire

Several of the teams eliminated from the tournament already are at ringside to watch this one. Kurt Angle is back cheering on his former Team Angle stablemates. Not an amazing match, but good heat. Kanyon & O'Haire have built a good following throughout the tournament, and Haas & Benjamin are not favorites due to the fact that they've beaten 3 good face teams. No need to do an overview of the match here. The end comes with O'Haire fighting with Benjamin on the outside. Kanyon hits a flatliner off the top rope and drops Haas down right on his face for the victory and the ECW tag titles at 16:12.

 

 

Compliments and criticism are welcome. I don't think I'll do specific TV shows, but I'll start with some house shows and feud developments within the next couple of days. Here are the titleholders after the tournaments:

 

ECW Television Champion - Matt Hardy

ECW World Tag Team Champions - The Innovators (Sean O'Haire & Chris Kanyon)

ECW World Heavyweight Champion - Brock Lesnar

[Guest Real F'n Show]

great tournament, I was totally not expecting Kanyon/O'Haire to go all the way. I can't wait to read some more of this, keep it up.

[Guest Your Olympic Hero]

I was hoping you guys could give me some help on this. I booked CM Punk and Julio Deniro weaker than anyone else in the tag tournament because I really don't know much about them. I don't want to continue this though. If you guys could give me more information about these two's finishers and wrestling styles, I think I could push them a little bit better.

[Guest Real F'n Show]

k I'll try helping:

 

There tag finish is called the Near Death Experience (powerbomb from Dinero I believe while Punk hits a blockbuster, somersualt neckbreaker from the top)

 

Punk's singles finish is the Pepsi Plunge, a pedigree from the top rope, and he also uses a shing wizard, and the devil lock, a submission

 

Dinero uses the Jalepeno Popper, which I'm not sure what that is and also a superkick

 

hope that helps

[Guest Real F'n Show]

don't stop now! It was just getting good
