ECW Television Title Match: Too Cold Scorpio v Dean Malenko: From Hamburg Pennsylvania on November 4. They feel each other out to start, with Dean generally in control. Scorpio shakes him off with a superkick, and Malenko bails to regroup. Back in, Dean manages to ground him in a front-facelock, but Scorpio counters to a hammerlock, so Dean fights into the ropes. They fight over a double knucklelock for a bit, and Dean gets him on the mat in a grapevine. Scorpio tries to reverse, but Dean shifts to an STF, so Scorpio counters to a hammerlock. Scorpio cradles for two, and a flying splash gets him another two. Backdrop, but Dean blocks, and butterfly powerbombs him. That allows Dean to put on the Texas cloverleaf, but Scorpio makes the ropes. Dean stays on the leg with a kneebreaker into another grapevine, but Scorpio escapes, and they spill to the outside. Scorpio bodyslams him on the floor out there, then delivers a backbreaker, before leaving him to take the count. Dean is moving, so Scorpio decides to dive, but Dean dodges. Inside, Dean lands a leg lariat, but Scorpio is in the ropes at one. Scorpio manages a victory roll for two, but a rana gets blocked when Dean drops him with a powerbomb. That allows Dean to try for a neckbreaker, but Scorpio blocks. Scorpio with a flying moonsault, but Malenko moves, and delivers a swinging neckbreaker to win the title at 13:42. This was a little slow, but it was solid work, and got more interesting once it kicked into gear. * ¾

Chad Austin is out to talk some random shit about how SMW is where it’s really at, until ECW World Champion Shane Douglas comes out to tell him to shut his mouth, and respect ECW. Austin slaps him, so Shane kicks the shit out of him, and makes him say that ECW is number one

Shane Douglas continues to walk on the wrong side of the confidence/delusion line

ECW World Tag Team Title Match: Public Enemy v Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan: From Philadelphia on November 19. Joined in progress with everyone brawling on the outside, with multiple weapons getting involved, and blood shed. They keep clipping around like an old Coliseum Video, until the referee throws the match out at 3:00 shown. Okay then. Afterwards, the brawl continues, with Mikey Whipwreck, Tazmaniac, and Sabu all getting involved.

BUExperience: Well, at least we finally got caught up on that TV title switch.
