The show began with Joey Styles in the ring. He was interrupted, however, by Chris Candido and Tammy Lynn Sytch, who came out and announced that they had hired some "protection" for the World title match later in the evening with Taz. The protection turned out to be six time ECW World Tag Team Champions the Dudley Boyz. Taz' music played and he hit the ring, thus starting the main event.
-ECW World Heavyweight Champion "Human Suplex Machine" Taz defeated
Chris Candido (with Tammy Lynn Sytch) by submission to the Taz-mission in under a minute. The Dudley Boyz then hit 3D on Taz, who was carried out of the Arena. The Dudleys then challenged any team to a match, as they have done at the last several PPV's.
-ECW World Tag Team Champions The Dudley Boyz (with Sign Guy Dudley & Joel Gertner) defeated Balls Mahoney & Spike Dudley when The Dudleys pinned Mahoney following the 3D. Balls accepted the challenge, and was later joined by
Spike. However, they could not overcome the tag champs.
-Super Crazy defeated TAKA Michinoku following a Crazy Bomb (powerbomb cradle).
The Dudleys Boyz discovered a hit list in the locker room with Joel Gertner. They then attacked the first man on the list, Nova.
-Yoshihiro Tajiri defeated "The Extreme Stud" Little Guido (with Big Sal E. Graziano) following a brainbuster.
In the locker room, The Dudleys attacked "Rugged" Rod Price.
-"The Man to Beat" Lance Storm (with "Beulah") defeated "Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer (with "Head Cheerleader" Francine) following a spin heel kick off the top rope. Storm had stuffed a trash can over Dreamer's head, and then hit the kick off the top.
The Dudley Boyz attacked Jack Victory in the locker room area. Taz then challenged the Dudleys to a handicap match for the main event.
-ECW World TV Champion "Mr. PPV RVD" Rob Van Dam (with "The Man Who
Calls it Right Down the Middle, the Manager of Champions" Bill Alfonzo) defeated "The New F'n Show" Jerry Lynn following a 5-star Frog Splash. This one went for over a half hour, a TREMENDOUS match. I can sum it up in four words: Match of the year.
-Justin Credible came out and told the world how he had grounded the Great Sasuke, caned the Sandman out of ECW, and broken Shane Douglas' ankle in his own hometown of Pittsburgh. "Judge" Jeff Jones then appeared, and informed Credible who he would be matched up against.
In the back, the Dudley Boyz (along with a returning "Big" Dick Dudley) attacked Chris Chetti.
-Sid (with "Judge" Jeff Jones) defeated "Hardcore Icon" Justin Credible (with "Sexiest man on Earth" Jason and Jazz (AKA "Namelesswoman")) by disqualification when Lance Storm interfered. After the match, Storm and Credible set Sid up on a table, but Sabu appeared and attacked both Lance and Justin. He set Credible up on the table along with Sid, but Storm pulled him off before Sabu could put him through the table. Instead, it was just Sid who was put through the table by Sabu, as Storm and Credible ran for the back. Afterwards, Sid turned on Jeff Jones and powerbombed him twice.
-ECW World Champion "Human Suplex Machine" Taz defeated ECW World Tag
Team Champion Buh Buh Ray Dudley (with Sign Guy, D-Von & "Big" Dick Dudley
and Joel Gertner) by submission when Buh Buh Ray submitted to the Taz-mission. Before the bout, Taz had declared "FTW" rules (falls count anywhere, no DQ).
