Hardcore TV
Wk. 4, 4/96

We open with a quick-paced match in which Chavo puts away Yoshihiro Tajiri in fairly short order. (D) Alfonso comes out to complain about the treatment he received from the ECW locker room, and Scorpio comes running out! That was a mean trick Alfonso tried to play, and he got what he deserved! Alfonso thinks Scorpio needs to learn that he doesn't need to play fair. Douglas jumps Scorpio from behind! (C-)

The rest of the Network is getting ready for a tag match- up next, Jericho and Whipwreck take on the Hardyz. The heels are a bit off their game....the Hardyz get a big upset win! (D) Stevie confronts Dreamer backstage to ask him why he didn't help out when he had the chance? Dreamer looks abashed, but Windham breaks in to tell Stevie not to look up to the false idol of ECW! It is just a construct of man, and we should instead focus on the pursuit of righteous excellence! (C)

The face Dudleyz beat Bad Crew. (D-) Sabu is back from injury! He wants a crack at Mustapha Saed. (B-) Tag titles are on the line next as the Pitbulls defend against Big & Strong. It's just an ugly brawl, and the Pitbulls take out Bigelow on the outside for a countout win. (C+; Pitbull #1 suffers a Stubbed Toe) The Pitbulls are still in the ring...the STEINER BROTHERS come out! They are unimpressed with this tag division, and think they need to remind ECW who's boss! Some taunting ensues as the show goes off the air. (C; Scott's Egomaniac gets Average; Rick's Maniac gets Above Average)

Overall: C-, not enough babez

WK. 1, 5/96

Alfonso finds Stevie backstage, and mocks him for coming up short against Douglas. It's too bad the ECW faithful didn't have his back! Oh, and if he has a problem with it, he can take it up with the Steiners, because he's fighting them RIGHT NOW. (D+) The Steiner Brothers are back in ECW, and they're set to make a statement against the apparently surprise pairing of Sabu and Stevie. Sabu looks as surprised as Stevie, and Windham is at ringside to offer his usual "helpful" advice to the faces. All that adds up to a rather decisive win for the returning Steiners. (C+) Francine and the Pitbulls watch backstage. (D)

Chavo tries to hit on Beulah, and gets a slap for his trouble. (C) The Hardy Boyz' momentum continues with a win over Bad Crew. (D-) Big and Strong come out after the match, and mock the two "little flippy boys!" (C-) The dream team of Scorpio, Cactus, and Taz takes on the Network in the main event. Douglas gets the pin after Alfonso sneak attacks Scorpio. (C-)

Overall: C- SUCCESS

i got my n64 around 2000 so in my mind, i guess video games before then did not exist. if you had just asked me randomly about the n64's release year i might have said 2000 since that's just so ingrained as when the concept of video games became actualized to me.

i mean i know the release years of some of the bigger titles so if i thought about it i would have realized something was off since that would mean the n64 had a one year lifespan because i know Gamecube came out in 2001.

Talk about Thanos some. Love that guy.

ECW Hardcore TV
5/wk2/96

The Steiners hit on Francine, starting to turn nasty when she doesn't bite, until the Pitbulls run them off. (C-) Bam Bam Bigelow rolls through Shane Helms with little ado. (C-) Bigelow decides to toss Helms around a bit after the match, and Mark Henry comes out to supervise! Things look bad for the kid until the Hardy Boyz come out with chairs to make the save! (E+)

The odd couple of Richards and Dreamer faces Network reps Whipwreck and Jericho next. It essentially devolves into a one on one after Cactus runs in on Whipwreck on the outside, and Windham gets in Richards' ear to convince him to stand down. Jericho gets the pin on Richards in the confusion. (C-) Heyman comes down to chew out Windham. Windham thinks he's better than everybody, but he can take that sanctimonious crap and shove it because this is ECW! (B-)

Continuing the Teddy Long booking, Sabu and Taz face off against Douglas and Mustapha Saed. Douglas is not particularly eager to risk himself in this match, and Mustapha is clearly the weak link in the match, eventually getting picked apart by the ECW faithful. (C+) Alfonso hops in the ring to lambast Mustapha, Taz, and anybody else he feels like....but Scorpio comes out, and Alfonso flees through the crowd! (C-)

moment of clarity and realized "this is actually brilliant". Prior to that I was more in a "haha these two don't go together!" mood

this seems pretty similar to me! but on a lesser scale

i was not on anything so that may have been a contributing factor.

Alright, that makes sense.

Very good first night. Kind of disappointed with the booking for Tana/Suzuki. That was literally a John Cena match.

ECW A Matter of Respect
Week 2, May 1996

Sabu and Mustapha Saed have a slightly more laid-back match than one might expect, with Sabu going over. (C) Heyman brings out the women of ECW to fill our eye candy quota with a bikini contest. Missy Hyatt wins. (C+) Taz defends his TV title against the Network's Jericho next! Taz drags a decent match out of the rookie Jericho, and gets the big win despite Alfonso's ringside protestations. (D)

The Hardy Boyz look to make a statement against Big & Strong, but alas, tonight is not the night to make themselves famous. The kids show a lot of heart, but Henry and Bigelow just can't be stopped. (C-) Cactus and Whipwreck want to settle the score FOR GOOD. (C) They brawl all over the ring, and Cactus legit breaks Whipwreck's hand with a chair stomp! He gets a rather rushed win shortly thereafter. (C+)

The time for philosophy is over, as Stevie Richards attempts to beat some atonement out of the sanctimonious Barry Windham. Dreamer is at ringside, torn as always between his loyalty to ECW and his belief in Windham's teachings. Stevie winds up making the decision for him, as he takes time to argue with him, giving Windham time to set up for a Flying Lariat for the win. (C)

We're supposed to have a tag title match with the Pitbulls defending against the returning Steiners, but the Steiners jump the champs on the ramp! The match never gets started, but the Steiners lay out the champs and pose with the belts, their point made. They've been taking notes on XIII's B8WL run. (C-)

Too Cold Scorpio gets his shot at Shane Douglas' ECW Title! The usually easygoing Scorpio is serious tonight, pushed by constant patronizing and disrespect from the Network. Champ and challenger take some time feeling each other out, and before too long, Jericho and Alfonso make an appearance at ringside. (presumably Whipwreck is there in spirit) Their harrassment turns the tides in Douglas' favor- all stuff we've seen before from them. It's starting to look grim for Scorpio....when out from the back charges LA PARKA, back from injury and out for revenge! He takes out Jericho with a chair! Alfonso bails! Parka even slides in the ring for a staredown with Douglas. No contact is made....but Scorpio hits the Diss That Don't Miss! 1....2....3! Scorpio has, with Parka's help, triumphed over the Network! (C-)

Overall: C-

hey we're back

@WarThaNemesis2 you get to determine how the Network reacts to this batch of losses! Do they press on, still a dominant force? Kick somebody out? Disband entirely? Become jobbers? Something else within reason? Your call!

i have sent tom the correct, dare I say, only, option

I must be rusty if I gave War an open-ended prize

---

update! wish i'd checked this sooner.

all good. think Arcanine and Keldeo are still my favs.
---

Got some planning done

---

pulled a Vince and threw all that out to start over

update likely tomorrow

I think my plan is to stick with this file until next TEW drops, and then immediately start a game there in the Cornellverse (since it takes a while for RW mods to come out). Leaning towards going back to my EWR "what if I started a backyard fed" roots, just, uh, in an alternate reality, and de-aged to the point where we could conceivably have upside

When is the new TEW expected?

off the top of my head somewhere around turn of the year
