ECW Title Match: Sabu v Tazmaniac: From Philadelphia Pennsylvania on November 12 1993. Rockin’ Rebel joins Joey on commentary for this one. Sabu charges in to kick start the bout, and a clothesline puts Tazmaniac down for a toehold. Tazmaniac kicks him off, so Sabu uses a rana on him, but Tazmaniac fights back with a suplex. Tazmaniac with a shoulderblock, so Paul E Dangerously trips him up, allowing Sabu a legdrop, followed by a front-facelock. Meanwhile, Tony Rumble shows up to chase Paul off, and Tazmaniac comes back with a suplex, but Sabu quickly cuts him off with a leglock. Sabu dumps him to the outside for a plancha, but Tazmaniac beats the count, so Sabu cross corner whips him, but a corner leg lariat misses. That allows Tazmaniac a snapmare into a chinlock, but Sabu escapes, and uses a springboard leg lariat. Dropkick follows, but Tazmaniac fights him off with another suplex for two. Tazmaniac dumps him to the outside and teases a dive, but thinks better of it, and Sabu comes back in with a springboard, but botches it. Tazmaniac powerslams him to set up another chinlock, and another suplex follows. Tazmaniac adds a headbutt drop, but Sabu counters another suplex with an inside cradle for two. Tazmaniac clotheslines him to keep control, and it’s back to the chinlock. Sabu fights back with a leg lariat for two, and a slingshot legdrop gets him another two. He tries a front-facelock, but Tazmaniac suplexes his way out of it, only to miss another headbutt drop. That allows Sabu a 2nd rope version, but Tazmaniac dodges that, so Dangerously distracts him from the entrance, and Sabu puts his challenger down. Elbowdrop gets Sabu two, and he works a cross-armbreaker from there, but misses another plancha. Tazmaniac capitalizes by whacking him with a chair on the outside, but a cross corner whip gets reversed on him on the way back in, allowing Sabu a corner splash. Again, but Tazmaniac catches him in a suplex this time, and both guys are left looking up at the lights. Sabu is up first with a flying moonsault, but Tazmaniac dodges, and covers for two. Tazmaniac goes up with a flying somersault senton splash, but Sabu rolls out of the way, and splashes his challenger for three at 13:13. Not much in the way of quality execution, but it was energetic. ** 


Tod Gordon is in his office hyping $5 tickets to the next TV taping


Matty hypes Holiday Hell tickets. I’m starting to feel a trend


Six-Person Tag Team Match: Sandman, JT Smith, and Peaches v Johnny Hotbody, Tony Stetson, and Hunter Q Robbins III: Sandman and Robbins start, but Hunter immediately bails when Peaches comes in. The dust settles on Sandman and Stetson, and Tony dominates him with right hands. Dropkick gets Hotbody two on Sandman, and the heels cut the ring in half on him, until he fights Johnny off, and cleans house. The heels throw Hunter to the lions, and Peaches knees him downstairs for the pin at 5:14. Not much to this one. Afterwards, Mr. Hughes shows up to attack Sandman, laying him out. ¼*


The police give an update on Public Enemy. They’re still bad


Backstage, Robbins is fuming about everything that’s happened to him in ECW this year, and promises revenge on all


BUExperience: The title match was interesting, the rest was not.
