NWA (ECW) Eastern Championship Wrestling (June 28, 1994)

 

Original Airdate: June 28, 1994


Your Host is Willie Watts


Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr v Hack Meyers and Steve Richards: From Philadelphia Pennsylvania on June 26. Yes ‘Steve’ Richards, who looks more like he’s trying to be Marty Jannetty than an extra in Pulp Fiction. Well, to be fair, that hadn’t come out yet. Dory puts him away with a cradle at 8:06. ¼*


Public Enemy are in the South Bronx, and kinda pissed about the Funks trying to murder them at Hostile City Showdown. Over a little thing like that?


ECW Champion Shane Douglas and Mr. Hughes are ready for their cage match


The Bruise Brothers are also ready for the cage


Sabu hype video


Chad Austin hype video


Sandman and Woman laugh at the damage they did to Tommy Cairo and Peaches at Hostile City Showdown


Cage Match: The Bruise Brothers v Shane Douglas and Mr. Hughes: From Philly on June 26. I’m sure we were all clamoring for this one. Oddly, they’re enforcing tags here. They don’t bother doing that in most of their standard tag matches, but in a cage suddenly they care? The Brothers dominate Douglas early on, but Hughes saves his ass, and they go to work on Don Harris. Meanwhile, Watts refers to Sherri Martel as Shane's ‘gal pal.’ Thankfully, Paul E. Dangerously shows up to help out on commentary. This thing just drags on and on, until the Brothers make a big (and slow) comeback, but accidentally knock Shane out of the ring to blow the match at 20:22. Yes, they gave this over twenty minutes. ¼*


Cactus Jack spits on the WCW World Tag Team title belt, because he’s sick of being a ‘family entertainer,’ and he’s ready to go medieval on Sabu’s ass. Though, not in those words since, again, this is before Pulp Fiction was released 


BUExperience: Terrible episode, mommy. Really terrible.
