Highlights of last weeks happenings with World Champion The Franchise Shane Douglas. Shane Douglas says that Ron Simmons can do all the things he did to Vader and Flair to him but wont beat him. Douglas tells Flair its time for him to retire. Douglas says the fire in Flair is gone and its time to stamp it out like a cigarette. Shane says since Flair doesnt have the guts to pick up the phone and call him the wont say his name again. Pffffft Yea right. Douglas says he will mention another WCW wrestler but these guy has the guts to come to ECW and face him man to man and that guy is Ron Simmons. Douglas says that after this Saturday night Simmons is just another notch in his belt of beaten opponents.
Opening video.
911 killed the Young Dragons in under a minute with a double chokeslam. Joey Styles questions if 911 bite off more then he can chew when he goes up against the Pitbulls at Holiday Hell this Saturday.
Ironman Tommy Cairo announces The Virgin Princess Angel as his new manager.
Joey hypes the main event at Holiday Hell between Champion Shane Douglas and Ron Simmons. Simmons says he is going to show Douglas what its like to feel the emotion he used to feel making a game winning tackle. Simmons talks about how good it feels to be champion. Think this might be the same promo they used a few weeks ago.
We go to clips of Sabus injuries over the past few weeks. From there we go to November 19th when Tag Team Champions Public Enemy attacked Sabu and Tazmaniac during their match. Sabu and Tazmaniac repaid the attack during the PEs match with Cactus Jack and Kevin Sullivan.
Johnny Grunge says that no one is more Extreme then PE. Grunge says their beef is with Sabu and Paul E but Tazmaniac got in the way and he is going to suffer. Flyboy Rocco Roc says they are taking about Taz and Sabu. Good promo from Grunge who gets the least mic time out of the two.
Paul E joins Styles. Paul he hypes the 911 Pitbulls match and says all that it takes is him dialing three numbers. Paul says whats really on his mind is PE. Paul E talks about violence in society. He pulls out a wad of cash and says that PE loves cash and to get it they have to go through Taz and Sabu and he doesnt think they can do it. Taz and Sabu are going to bring to much violence.
They briefly go to the mixed tag team match but then cut to the locker room where Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck are. Mikey says sorry to Jack for letting Kevin Sullivan turn on him. Mikey then runs away. Cactus says he is most mad at Sullivan for not telling him that he was going to go after Hulk Hogan because he would have stayed and helped. Woman shows up and tells Jack to watch out what he says about her husband. Sandman attacks from behind with the cane. Joey says Sandman is on his way to the ring for a dueling cane match with Tommy Dreamer but Cairo never got out of the ring from the last match. Nice they just made up a match for TV that was never actually a thing. They show the beat down of Dreamer and Cactus. Joey tells us that added to Holiday Hell is Cactus and Dreamer against Sandman and Cairo. Cactus and Dreamer are in the locker room and Cactus says he has put wrestler out just for fun. But Woman and Sandman have actually given him a reason. Jack talks about Dreamer becoming a man and that Jack doesnt care about losing body parts cause the more he loses the less has to lose.
My thoughts on the show…
I love the week before the big show. It’s basically what would have been the “Preshow” had the show been on PPV. Good promos from everyone tonight. No matches though so if you like straight hype check this one out.

Pitbulls (w/ Jason) vs. JT Smith & Steve Richards, ref Jim Molineaux
Richards and Pitbull 1 start off. Pitbull powers Richards into a corner and pounds on him. Richards moves out of the way of a charge and goes after the arm. Richards goes for a super kick but gets his leg swept out. Pitbull 2 tags as does Smith. Smith uses his speed to hit a super kick and cross body. Pitbulls however use their size advantage to gain control. They go after the forever injured knee of Smith. They go to the floor and brawl. After what feels like hours Smith with a clothesline and tag. Richards with lots of super kicks. He even turns and accidentally nails Smith. Richards cant believe what he did and Pitbull 2 powerslams him for the win in 11.55. Smith is obviously upset and they argue a bit. Smith nails Richards and the ref calls for a bell.
Steve Richards vs. JT Smith, ref Jim Molineaux
Smith beats on Richards as the fans call for blood. Richards trips up Smith and covers with his feet on the rope for the win in .47.
Young Dragons vs. 911 (w/ Paul E Dangerously), ref Jim Molineaux
911 picks up the win in .41 after a double chokeslam. 911 with a few more after the match to keep the fans happy.
Al Snow vs. Tazmaniac, ref John Pee Wee Moore
Snow in his debut here. He locks on a headlock but Taz throws him off. A few minutes in and Taz knocks Snow to the floor. Jason comes out and begins to give Snow some pointers. Jason trips Taz and out comes Paul E to even things up. Snow with a surfboard. Paul E now trips up Snow and Taz hits a belly to belly. The Pitbulls comes down and distract Taz. Snow with a suplex and here comes 911. Big slam by Snow. Taz with a belly to back for 2. Leg drop from the top by Snow. Taz ducks a clothesline and hits a half nelson suplex for the 1, 2 and 3 in 8.10. Jason yells at Snow so Snow attacks him and hits a plancha on the Pitbulls. Snow then chases after the Pitbulls with a chair and falls down HA. In the ring Taz gives the ref a belly to belly.
World Champion The Franchise Shane Douglas vs. Hack Meyers, ref Jim Molineuax
Fans are anti Douglas chanting Pittsburgh sucks Shane gets on the mic and tells Meyers hes a piece of shit. Hack fires away on Shane and clotheslines him over the top rope. Hack all over Shane working the arm and trapping Shane in the corner. Meyers charges but Shane gets the boot up and throws Hack to the floor and hits a plancha. Shane breaks an oar over the back of Meyers. Shane comes off the top with a double axe handle back in the ring and then locks in a chin lock. They trade rest holds for entirely to long. Shane with a head scissor that goes on for like 3 minutes. Hack breaks out and drops a leg low on Shane. Shane eventually reverses a corner whip and hits a belly to belly as Hack comes out for the 3 count in 21.05. They each get on the mic after the match and shit talk.
Ironman Tommy Cairo & Angel vs. Tommy Dreamer & Peaches, ref John Pee Wee Moore
I don’t get why these guys didn’t join forces and decide that they hate Sandman more than they hate each other. Dreamer with a piledriver right out of the gate. The girls go at it and Dreamer pushes Angel and Peaches gets the 3 count in 2.24. Peaches chases Angel back and Sandman shows up. Sandman, Dreamer and Cairo all face off and Cairo and Sandman seem to work together to take out Dreamer. Cactus Jack tries to make the save and goes after Sandman but Cairo saves him. WHAAAAAAAAT!?! Cactus is left a bloody mess by Sandman.
Tag Team Champions Public Enemy vs. Hack Meyers & Mikey Whipwreck, ref Jim Molineaux & John Pee Wee Moore
Hack gets his second title shot in one night. Not very deserving of either of them. Cactus must be unable to compete. Two refs must mean its falls count anywhere. I didn’t hear if that was announced though so its just a guess. A few minutes into the fight Cactus Jack show up and Hack just wanders off. Cactus hits Johnny Grunge with a double arm DDT but Flyboy Rocco Rock breaks up the pin attempt. Cactus nails him with a DDT on a chair. Cactus drops the chair to the face of Rock but Rock just gets the shoulder up right before the 3. They brawl into the crowd. Things are wild and the fans are loving every second of it. Rock goes for a drive by through a table but it doesn’t break. He hits a second one off the table this time and gets a 1,2 3 in 10.10.
PE are in the dressing room with Commissioner Tod Gordon. Grunge is all bloody. They say they are done with Cactus and Mikey because its time to take out Tazmaniac and Sabu.
Cactus Jack and Tommy Dreamer talk about the beating they took from Sandman and Tommy Cairo.
Al Snow tells Tazmaniac that hes coming back after Tazmaniac.
Cactus gives a few autographs to kids after the show.
My thoughts on the show…
Cactus bleed like crazy for a house show. The promos at the end make me wonder if some of this will actually show up on TV which would explain the massive amount of blood from Cactus. All of the matches besides the Tag Title Match were either WAY to long or they lasted seconds. Tag was the only one that felt like it had a good time to it.
