NWA (ECW) Eastern Championship Wrestling (May 3, 1994)

 

Original Airdate: May 3, 1994

Your Host is Joey Styles from the studio

Handicap Match: 911 v Mikey Whipwreck and Stan Carson: From Philadelphia Pennsylvania on April 16. A complete squash, as per usual, with 911 finishing with a chokeslam at 0:31. DUD

Montage of 911 chokeslamming fools. As entertaining as that sounds

Sandman is sick of these fans wanting to see him fight with his wife, and sick of ECW for exploiting him

Loser Gets Ten Lashes Match: Sandman v Tommy Cairo: Salvatore Bellomo is the special guest referee for this, and it's from Philadelphia Pennsylvania on April 16. Sandman dropkicks Tommy from behind to kick start the match, and he dumps him to the outside. Sandman attacks out there, but Cairo grabs a chair, and swats him away. Cairo side suplexes Sandman onto the timekeeper’s table, but Sandman fights him off, and delivers a flying shoulderblock on the way back in. Cairo manages a vertical suplex, so Sandman bails, and chases after Peaches out there. That draws Tommy out for a slugfest, and Sandman whacks him with a chair to win the exchange. Sandman with a suplex on the floor, but a charge ends badly when Tommy backdrops him onto a table. Tommy adds an elbowdrop from the apron, and he uses the chair again. Sandman with a flying elbowdrop on the way back in, but Bellomo slow counts him to two. Sandman rightly protests, but that allows Cairo to recover with a side suplex at 4:20. This was a perfectly respectable piece of work. *

Tommy Cairo and Peaches are hanging out in Sandman’s former home, and Tommy thinks it’s great, but wishes Sandman left a little more beer. Yeah, good luck with that one, pal

Back in the studio, Sandman reacts to Cairo and Peaches shacking up, by trying to get Tommy to send him $100 to cover all those nights with her

Ray Odyssey v Eric Anderson: From Philly on March 6. I don’t get the point of having another surfer gimmick right after Sandman just got done doing the same thing - wet suit and all. Odyssey with a pump-splash at 3:10. DUD

Tazmaniac v Johnny Blaze: From Philadelphia Pennsylvania on April 16. ECW Television Champion Pitbull sits in on commentary here. Tazmaniac wrecks the kid, finishing with a superplex at 1:45. Good energy from Tazmaniac here, if not much else. ¼*

Jay Sulli catches up with Jason, who puts over Pitbull in his usual… slow… cadence, until Tazmaniac shows up. Tazmaniac gets grease on Jason’s suit though, and he decides to choke him down, but Pitbull shows up to make the save

Matty in the House hypes When Worlds Collide

Terry Funk and Arn Anderson are individuals. A pair of individuals 

Paul E Dangerously and Bobby Eaton retort, with Paul introducing a video on the history of the Dangerous Alliance in WCW, taking the angle that Arn was never truly loyal to the group since his heart was with the Horsemen

Matty catches up with Pitbull, who is fuming about what Tazmaniac did to Jason, who is now sporting a big bandage on his face

BUExperience: This was an entertaining episode. When Worlds Collide is looking to be a very well developed card.
