Baseball Bat Tag Team Match: Public Enemy v Ian Rotten and Axl Rotten: From Hardcore Heaven on August 13 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. ECW Tag Team Title Baseball Brawl Match: Public Enemy v Ian Rotten and Axl Rotten: Som the idea here is that, if you knock your opponent out for a ten count, you get to use a baseball bat. The champs beat up the ECW superfan with the Hawaiian shirt, and even rip off his signature hat! They also cut a very non-PG promo on the crowd. So, big brawl, as you can imagine. Bad Breed manage to put the Enemy down for the ten count at 11:26, and now the bat is in play! They don’t bother actually explaining that to the crowd, though, and have to stop and explain the rules mid-match. These fans used to shit all over the WWF and WCW, but it’s not like this promotion was without fault. Rocco Rock manages a flying somersault senton splash to retain at 17:31. Not my cup of tea, but it was genuinely chaotic, especially compared to the more sanitized versions of these types of matches. ¾*

Public Enemy music video. They’re back where they belong! Good thing they’re not up where they belong, that would be a whole different vibe

We take a look back at Tommy Dreamer accidentally blinding Sandman, ahead of Sandman’s retirement at November to Remember 

Tommy Dreamer v Tony Stetson: From Hamburg Pennsylvania on September 30. Joined in progress with Dreamer missing a flying splash, but Woman passes him the kendo stick, and he knocks Stetson silly for the pin at 0:34 shown. 

ECW World Champion Shane Douglas is sucking himself off. Not literally, just figuratively, and complete with a soundtrack by Guns n’ Roses

BUExperience: This was a really boring, nothing episode, with extended November to Remember hype, and nothing in the ring.
