\nBellomo throws stuffed animals out to the crowd before the match.\u00a0 Styles again really puts Bellomo over I really don\u2019t get why Styles loves him so much.\u00a0 Bellomo with his normal offense of punches, kicks, biting and a standing drop kick.\u00a0 Bellomo finishes things off with the big splash in 3.16<\/p>\n

Back up to Styles in the Nest.\u00a0 We learn that at Holiday Hell Dreamer versus Douglas has just been signed.\u00a0 We go to Dreamer in the locker room.\u00a0 Dreamer is really mad at Douglas.\u00a0 Dreamer has two things Douglas doesn\u2019t and that\u2019s the fans and heart.<\/p>\n

We go to the ring where Joey Styles is waiting to interview Terry Funk.\u00a0 Funk talks about his match against Sabu at Holiday Hell.\u00a0 Funk says that he has too many enemies that will try to interfere and that he is also worried that Sabu is going to try and run from him.\u00a0 Funk says he needs a few good men with him at ringside to stop all this from happening.\u00a0 Funk brings out Bad Breed as his back up.\u00a0 Funk says Ian and Axl Rotten will do exactly as he says.\u00a0 Next week Funk says he is going to interview Sabu.<\/p>\n

My thoughts on the show\u2026<\/strong><\/span>
\nHot way to close the show and Paul E. steals the spotlight again with his promo, but overall another thumbs down this week.<\/p>\n

Jay Sulli is in the locker room with Tod Gordon and we go to last weeks power outage in the arena.\u00a0 Sulli hasn\u2019t been around for a month and a half, I was hoping he was gone.\u00a0 We see the big brawl and go back to Gordon who hypes it as being what ECW is all about.\u00a0 Gordon announces a lights out battle royal.\u00a0 Wait how will people see if the lights are out?\u00a0 Seems stupid.\u00a0 Tod promises that someone is definitely going to blow up at Holiday Hell.\u00a0 JT Smith will tag with \u201cSuperfly\u201d Jimmy Snuka to take on Tag Team Champions Kevin Sullivan and Tazmaniac.\u00a0 We see a short highlight video of Snuka.<\/p>\n

Terry Funk is out to the ring next and he\u2019s here to interview Sabu.\u00a0 He calls him out and Bad Breed have Chad Austin tied to Sabu\u2019s cart and are rolling him to the ring.\u00a0 Austin does not look like a willing participant.\u00a0 Bad Breed throws Austin into the ring and Funk beats him up.\u00a0 Paul E.

We get some comments from participants in the lights out battle royal.\u00a0 Johnny Hotbody, Tony Stetson, Rockin\u2019 Rebel, Shane Douglas and Kevin Sullivan all think that they are going to win the match.<\/p>\n

We get a video package of the feud between Public Enemy and Badd Company.<\/p>\n

Paul E. Dangerously is backstage for an interview.\u00a0 He sings a song about Terry Funk to the tune of some Christmas song.<\/p>\n

Joey closes out the show from the nest.<\/p>\n

My thoughts on the show\u2026<\/strong><\/span>
\nNice way to bring things into the next big show even with no Sabu, PE or Badd Company.\u00a0 Good opening match and the stuff with Funk and Dangerously was entertaining.\u00a0 The brawl at the end was fun. \u00a0Thumbs up for tonight\u2019s show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
