Taz Interview.
-Show opens with a Taz interview. Taz runs down Sabu and Steven Prazak says the unification Title match is unique. Taz says he’s going after Sabu’s jaw. For those that don’t know, Sabu’s jaw is already fractured and this past week on ECW Sabu was wearing a bandage on it. Taz says after tonight he will still be World Champ, but will also get the FTW Title back.

Super Crazy versus Tajiri
-These two have had some awesome matches in their short history with ECW. Tajiri gets control early on. Both wrestlers showing thier skill early. Tajiri runs and suicide planchas right over the ropes onto Super Crazy. Super Crazy hits the ramp with a headscissors takeover. Firemans Carry now and Tajiri gets planted. Three moonsaults by Super Crazy, but not enough to put away Tajiri. Super Crazy now hammering away with 10 count punches on Tajiri. Tajiri with a kick to the small of the back. Springboard Moonsault for a 2 count by Tajiri. Tajiri with some more big kicks to Crazy. Crazy is down. Crazy misses a Moonsault. Tajiri rolled up by Crazy only gets a two count. Crazy goes for a springboard but slips on the top turnbuckle and out come the chants of “You [messed] Up.” Tajiri going for a Dragon Suplex, but Crazy goes low. Crazy hit a powerbomb and then gets a two count. Super Crazy gets the win out of nowhere, which according to Styles ends their feud in ECW.

Steve Corino versus Balls Mahoney
-Steve Corino in the ring talking about how he’s better then people and all that and how he doesn’t use steroids. He bashes Tajiri and Crazy saying he is better then them. Challenges anyone from the back to come out and here come the Sid Chants. But its not Sid, its Balls Mahoney. Big Frog Splash by Mahoney, but Corino kicks out of that. Mahoney up top, but he misses the New Jersey Jam on Corino. Corino trying to be Hardcore. Corino nails Mahoney with a Superkick. Mahoney nails Corino HARD with a HUGE Steel Chair Shot and then makes the cover and gets the three count over Corino. Corino still down as they roll a promo for some of the matches later on in the show.

Little Guido versus Antifaz Del Norte
-Antifaz Del Norte hits the ring and here comes Little Guido riding the shoulders of Big Sal E. Guido moving up from opening the PPVs to the third match, atta guy pizan. Antifaz hits a cork screw plancha on Guido outside of the ring. When they get back into the ring Guido starts to go to work with some chops on Antifaz. Guido hits a side italian leg sweep from the 2nd turnbucle. Clothesline by Guido, and then a 2 count. Antifaz with a dropkick to the back. Antifaz on the outside and Big Sal puts him through a table. Antifaz rolled back in and Guido locks on the Sicilian Crab and Del Norte taps out to the eXtreme Stud. Smothers and Rich then come out and they attack Guido and Sal E. Sal E. then runs them off to the back.

Jerry Lynn versus Rob Van Dam *Television Championship*
-Rob Van Dam set to defend the TV Title against Jerry Lynn. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Lynn take the Title. Lynn NOT Flynn, just to make sure people get that. Arm wringer by Lynn. 1 count on Van Dam. Fans chanting “RVD, RVD.” High Cross Body by Lynn on RVD after some back and forth moves and counters. Inverted Atomic Drop by Van Dam. Van Dam slows down the pace. Clothesline by Lynn and that sends Van Dam to the outside. Lynn hurls himself onto Van Dam who was outside of the ring. Lynn into the ring now. Van Dam sent up and over into the first row by Lynn. Springboard into a high cross body by Lynn who is impressing everyone thus far. Lynn drops Van Dam onto the guardrail after RVD went for a springboard. Springboard plancha off the guardrail by Van Dam. Lynn clutching his right knee. Backbreaker by Van Dam and Fonzie puts a chair in the ring now. Van Dam with some kidney shots on Lynn. Inverted surfboard now. Lynn launched into the air and he comes crashing down on the steel chair. RVD misses a monkeyflip. Lynn almost gets the three. Rocker Dropper on RVD, almost…a NEW F’N Show chant goes out. Van Dam misses a Split legged moonsault. A bunch of near falls and roll throughs. German Suplex and another close count by RVD. Swinging DDT from the turnbuckle by Lynn through a table and neither wrestler is moving. Tumbling Senton Splash by Van Dam. Awesome match so far. Tornado DDT countered to a Northern Lights, no DDT by Lynn. Cover….2 count. The bell rings and apparently its a Time limit draw. Finnigan(the ref) giving Lynn the win? Lynn doesn’t want it and 5 more minute chants go out. 5 more? I’ll take 25 more. Finnigan is going to let it go for 5 more minutes. Piledriver by Lynn. Lynn is winning alot of people over in Asbury. VanDaminator in the middle of the ring….RVD up top…Five Star Frog Splash by Van Dam….Cover….1….2….3….Rob Van Dam holds on to the Title.

Lynn could have had the Title but he asked for 5 more minutes. After that time limit had expired I guess the ref could have awarded a winner, Lynn turned it down and said he wanted a pin fall victory. He didn’t get it and Van Dam got the win. Awesome matchup.
