ECW World Tag Team Title Brawl Game Match: Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck v The Public Enemy: From November to Remember on November 5 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. The idea here is that you have to beat your opponent until they can’t answer the ten count, and then baseball bats are legal weapons for the team that does so. As opposed to in every other ECW match? Whipwreck and Rocco Rock start, and they take forever playing to the crowd, before Rock walks out, and the Enemy tease just leaving. No idea why, and the commentary doesn’t help clarify. We finally get going after two minutes of this, and Mikey tries to outmove him, but keeps getting clobbered. Tag to Johnny Grunge, and the challengers hit Mikey with a combo. Whipwreck beats the count, so Grunge kicks him in the balls, and delivers a gourdbuster. That draws Jack in to save things, and he whips Mikey into each of the challengers a few times. They beat the count, so Cactus clotheslines them each, then throws Mikey into bulldogging them. Mikey looks for a follow up, but fucks it up, and ends up down. Jack and Grunge brawl to the outside out of the deal, and Jack ends up crotched on the rail, leaving Mikey in with both challengers. They double team, and Rock dives with a flying somersault senton splash, but Mikey beats the count, just as Jack returns with a chair, swinging at both challengers. Jack DDTs Rock on the chair, but Grunge helps him beat the count, so Cactus DDTs them both. They beat it, and Grunge throws some powder into Jack’s eyes to neutralize him again. That allows them to double up on Whipwreck again, but he holds his own. Meanwhile, a blinded Jack staggers over, and catches Mikey with a DDT by accident, and that puts him down for the count. So now, the Enemy can legally use bats. The Enemy take Mikey over to the entrance area, and stack up a few tables, but before they can drive him through it, Sabu shows up. He shoves Rock off and through the tables, and everyone is left down. Mikey finds a chair, and goes to work on the downed Rock, but Grunge comes over and nails him with a bat to put a stop to that. Jack saves, and brawls with Rock, as Mikey and Grunge fight back to the ring. They trade sunset cradles for two, and Grunge gets the bat again. He comes off the top to pop Whipwreck with it, and that’s enough for the pin at 13:28. The ‘last man standing’ portion of this was actually surprisingly good (it’s a stipulation I generally dislike), though the rest was just a garbage brawl. *

Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck hang out, and Mikey wants no part of a rematch with Public Enemy. Also because his mom said he can’t. So, Jack will team with Kevin Sullivan instead

Joey catches up with Paul E. Dangerously, who talks up how dangerous the ECW roster is, and why places like WCW and the WWF couldn’t touch them. You see, because Tazmaniac would be way too crazy in the ring, and guys like Bret Hart couldn’t handle him. Nevermind that he’d already done a tryout for them, and didn’t get called back

BUExperience: A pretty terrible episode, even by the relatively low standards of this promotion sometimes.
