Big Daddy V and Mark Henry vs. Colin Delaney and Tommy Dreamer
'Some great tag teams of ECW past...are we gonna see the two teams that will shape ECW's future right now?' asks Styles as we return to the Hammerstein Ballroom, Stephen DeAngelis starting his introductions.
'LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....THIS NEXT TAG TEAM CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL......INTRODUCING FIRST, AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 867 POUNDS-'
'867 pounds? Wait a minute here...' interjects Styles over the top of DeAngelis as he announces the first duo, that of Big Daddy V and Mark Henry.
'THE WORLD'S MOST EXTREME LOVE MACHINE' goes a sultry voice over the speakers, no hint of a pop from the fans.
'Ha ha...oh man' goes Tazz simply as the camera swoops up the aisle, catching the two behemoths striding out, some gasps from those leaning over the guardrail.
'Well not that it matters, but Mark Henry is the guy on the right, and Big Daddy V's on the left' goes Styles as Henry shakes his dreadlocks, getting pumped, the first man to reach the ring.
'Is that my right or polar right?' laughs Tazz in response, Henry climbing onto the apron as V flickers his tongue at the camera before climbing the steps.
'I don't...I don't think we've ever seen two men this big in ECW before...I don't think I've seen two men this big at all in fact' goes Styles as Henry taunts the crowd, finally bringing a reaction, boos, from the crowd, Big Daddy V hauling himself over the top rope.
'Joe...you asked a few moments ago if we were gonna see two teams that could shape ECW's future...I think these guys are gonna rip it apart at the seams' laughs Tazz again as BDV mutters something to Henry, who nods.
'I am being reliably informed by Scary Dudes Central that Mark Henry can dead lift 900 pounds' goes Styles as the music fades, Tazz nearly choking.
'AND THEIR OPPONENTS....WEIGHING IN AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 427 POUNDS.....COLIN DELANEY AND TOMMY....DREEAMMERRRR' blares ring announcer DeAngelis, Man In The Box by Alice In Chains hitting to a massive pop, the camera behind the smoke showing us Tommy stepping out onto the small stage, Delaney behind him.
'What a moment for Tommy Dreamer' goes Styles simply as Dreamer takes in his surroundings, nodding his head and smiling, a big 'Wow' clearly uttered.
'No dount Joe, no doubt, but...I don't wanna rain on Tommy Dreamer's parade right here but....Colin Delaney?' asks Tazz as Delaney slaps a few hands on either side of the aisle, both men starting towards the ring, Delaney with a swollen eye.
'Yeah....Colin Delaney....' goes Styles cautiously.
'But he's...he's a nobody, the last time we saw him he got busted up by Oscar De La Hoya on RAW, we've never even seen him before around here' laughs Tazz.
'That doesn't stop WWE pushing Coops' protests Styles in response, a long pause of silence.
'Yeah I know, I'm fired' adds our play by play man as Delaney and Dreamer climb in the ring, both immediately overawed by the two men standing across from them.
'TOM-MY DREA-MER........TOM-MY DREA-MER........TOM-MY DREA-MER' is the chant from the New York crowd as referee Mike Kehner asks both teams to name a legal man to get us underway, Mark Henry doing the honours on one side, Dreamer glancing at his partner on the other side of the ring and shaking his head, ushering Colin Delaney to the outside to some laughs from this crowd.
'Traditional tag team rules for this match, even ECW likes to play by the rules sometimes' states Styles as Kehner rings the bell and we're underway, Henry immediately advancing on Dreamer who looks for a way out, Henry swings, Dreamer dodging aside and landing a quick kick to the hamstring, Henry not impressed as he advances on Tommy again, lunges forwards, and again Dreamer's able to dodge aside, another quick kick to the hamstring of Mark Henry, the big man infuriated, turning and going right back after Dreamer who rolls to the outside, Henry following, Tommy sliding straight back in, to his feet, runs to the ropes, rebounds, and now Henry's trying to re-enter, Dreamer with a Clothesline, knocks Henry off the apron to a pop from the crowd, Dreamer now heading to the apron...Sledge to the back connects, Henry not aware where Dreamer was coming from but the move hasn't done a great deal of damage, Dreamer grabs an arm on the outside, perhaps thinking about an Irish Whip into the guardrail...but he can't budge the big man, Dreamer strains himself a second time, no luck, goes for a third attempt but Henry just pulls the Yonkers native towards him, Short Arm Clothesline on the outside, the front row wincing at the impact of Dreamer's head smacking the mats as he falls, Henry beating his chest before hauling Tommy to his feet, picks him up, almost in a Bearhug position...rams him back first into the steel ringpost, Tazz claiming the ring moved there, Dreamer falling to the mats in agony, his spine taking some serious impact from that move, Henry not relenting though, dragging Dreamer back to his feet and tossing him under the bottom rope, the crowd not liking this domination as Henry slaps Dreamer across the back of his head a few times, taunting him to get up as Tommy gets to his knees, Henry pulls him all the way to a vertical base, but not for long, Scoop Slam by the big man, impact on the potentially damaged spine, Henry backpedalling to the ropes, rebounds...Elbow Drop, 380 pounds into the sternum of Dreamer who just got flattened, Henry staying down, the cover, first of the match, one....two...t-nope, Dreamer kicks out to a pop from the crowd, another 'TOM-MY DREA-MER' chant starting but Henry looks to put an end to it immediately, pulls Tommy roughly to his feet, Irish Whip into a vacant corner, Henry backing up slightly before charging in, looking for a Splash in the corner...but Dreamer moves, Henry's sternum taking the impact this time, Dreamer crawling towards his corner, the crowd urging him to make the tag to Delaney...but Tommy hesitates, and that allows Henry to regain control via a forearm to the back, the crowd nonplussed at Dreamer's actions, Styles suggesting the hometown hero is perhaps not too sure about his partner's safety in the ring. Nevertheless there's no time to ponder, as Henry pulls Tommy up via the hair, to his feet, throws him to the ropes, Dreamer hitting them stomach first...and there's a hard forearm to the back, that spine getting ever weaker, Tommy crying out in pain, but Henry won't relent, throwing Tommy to the ropes again, rebound, another stiff forearm to the back, and this time Dreamer stays down, his back arched, Henry into the cover...one....two...th-no, kick out, but it's total domination here from Henry, who isn't deterred by the resilience of his opponent, reaches over...and here's the tag to the 487 pounder, Big Daddy V, even the ECW crowd momentarily silenced as the near-half tonne titan enters the ring over the top rope....and drops an elbow onto the prone Dreamer, the ring visibly shaking, a trickle of blood appearing at the corner of the mouth of the man from Yonkers, Styles suggesting broken ribs, V staying in that position, on top of Tommy, modified cover....one....two....thr-no, somehow Dreamer rolls a shoulder out, the crowd popping as Big Daddy V gets to his feet looking a little stunned, he pulls Dreamer up anyway, Irish Whip into another vacant corner, the 487 pounder striding over, open handed chop to the chest of Tommy who crumples to the canvas, BDV lifting back into the turnbuckle, another open handed chop, the sound echoing around the Hammerstein Ballroom, V just laughing as Dreamer splutters and coughs, blood dripping down his chest...and suddenly there's a huge pop from the crowd, Colin Delaney entering the ring, illegally, charges towards the big man, hammering away with forearms, Big Daddy V not even noticing at first, then he turns, Delaney stopping dead in his tracks, the camera catching the fear in his eyes, V with a slap to the chest that sends the rookie halfway across the ring, clutching his chest. Referee Mike Kehner seems in no hurry to get Delaney out of the ring, and it may prove fatal, as Viscera goes after Colin now, pulls him to his feet with one hand to the astonishment of the ECW crowd, Irish Whip, Delaney sent crashing into his partner in the corner, the crowd booing as BDV starts to thrust, before charging in....Splash in the corner squashes both Dreamer and Delaney, some of the crowd starting a small 'HOLY SHIT' chant. V backs up as his two opponents stagger out, Dreamer's mouth still dripping blood..scoops them onto his shoulders, Dreamer on top of Delaney....
'DOUBLE SAMOAN DROP......OH.....MY.....GOD' cries Styles as Colin and Tommy are drilled into the canvas, amazing strength from Big Daddy V, he simply rolls backwards, one arm over both Dreamer and Delaney, the double cover.
ONE
TWO
THREE
'THAT WAS AWE-SOME........THAT WAS AWE-SOME.......THAT WAS AWE-SOME' is the chant from the ECW crowd, even those who were booing still appreciative of the domination on display as the bell rings, Big Daddy V's music hitting again.
'Total....unadulterated...domination' goes Styles simply as Mike Kehner raises the hands of both BDV and Henry, the latter roaring his approval of the last move at his partner.
'Joe, lemme tell ya...I've been in this business for some time....and I don't think I've ever seen a damn thing like that in the ring before, that was....that was incredible' replies Tazz.
'This may well be the loudest warning shot anyone has ever fired in ECW, and I just wanna say tha-'Styles breaks off as the V's music abruptly stops, being replaced by another theme.
'Now what?' he asks, the crowd exploding as the camera switches shot to be in the aisleway, three figures emerging from the smoke.
'Oh no' laughs Tazz as Styles begins to cackle with laughter, none other than Big Stevie Cool, Da Blue Guy and Hollywood Nova appear on stage, Nova pointing to the ring and then cupping his ear, Da Blue Guy grinning manically, Stevie raising his arm aloft.
'Well while my partner's trying ta stop himself from exhaling one of his lungs, I guess I better say that this....this is the bWo basically, and I ain't got no idea why they're out here' goes Tazz, Styles still manaically laughing as the trio make their way to the ring.
'This has to be the greatest moment of my professional career' goes Styles finally, through the shortened breaths, Tazz chuckling as well as the sounds of the Swamp Candles fade, the bWo stopping before they enter the ring, Stephen DeAngelis handing Big Stevie Cool a microphone.
'BEE DUB OH, BEE DUB OH, BEE DUB OH' is the chant from the crowd as Nova grabs his blue power lifting belt from around his waist and plays it like a guitar to another pop. Stevie waits for it to die down before speaking.
'All this week....I've heard talk about people....invading' he starts in his trademark raspy voice, the crowd booing.
'And quite frankly I'm getting a little fed up with it, because as we all know.....you can't have an invasion.....without the BEE.......DUB........OH' he goes, pointing at each member, the crowd chanting along before breaking into another big pop.
'So if you two fat ass freaks would like to climb out of OUR ring and head to the back, we'd be very grateful' he finishes, the crowd popping at the challenge laid down, Big Daddy V and Mark Henry looking at each other in disbelief.
'The challenge has been made..' goes Styles, and clearly the bWo have wasted enough time, all three men sliding into the ring, the crowd popping as the start to beat away at the two behemoths in the ring, Stevie and Nova taking V, Da Blue Guy hammering away at Mark Henry...all to no discernable effect, both the victors of the match swiping the bWo away, Nova actually sent under the bottom, the crowd booing....and then cheering as Nova slides back in, but this time with a steel chair.
CRACK
Off the skull of Mark Henry, who goes down to one knee, Big Daddy V lunging, Nova dodging the big man.
CRACK
Off the skull of BDV this time, he goes down to one knee as well, Nova throws Da Blue Guy the chair.
CRACK
Another one off the skull of V, who goes down this time, but is still active, rolling to the outside with a thud, the crowd popping huge as the chair's thrown at Henry, who catches it, rises.
CRACCKKK
Big Stevie Cool's there with the Stevie Kick, Henry flattened by the impact of the chair into his face, huge pop from the crowd as Stevie takes the mic again.
'Just like I said' he goes.
'WE'RE.......TAKIN'.......OVERRR' he cries, all three bWo members doing their poses as the crowd go wild, their music hitting again, the announcers letting the images speak for themselves as we head elsewhere....
