On the 5th Woman will announce her newest charge.<\/p>\n We go to last week and see the end of Borne Again 2 Cold Scorpio. 2 Cold is backstage and he still has the Doink wig. Scorpio says something isn\u2019t right with Borne and every time he looks at the wig or thinks about what happened he gets a knot in his stomach. Scorpio says there\u2019s no reason to be a clown in ECW. Borne should step up and face him like a man. <\/p>\n Joey talks about how Sandman has lost a lot but he has never lost the respect of the wrestlers in the ECW locker room. \u201cIronman\u201d Tommy Cairo joins via satellite from his home. Cairo says it was difficult to watch from TV. Cairo says it was so difficult to watch on TV because he would have much rather have been there to see it and watch it live. He wishes he was the one that did it himself. No one cared about Cairo being out for the past month and he says that Sandman is a scum bag and always will be one. Well I\u2019m glad someone calls it like it is.

Grunge tells Jack and Mikey to shine up the belts and take some pictures with them because they are returning to PE.<\/p>\n We get fan comments on the Sandman\u2019s injury. Cairo called in and left a message saying Woman is going to manage him now. The \u201cfans\u201d all sound like a bunch of idiots. <\/p>\n Paul E Dangerously talks about how Sabu broke his ribs. Paul E says Sabu wasn\u2019t mad that he was hurt he was mad that he could possibly lose the match to Jack. Paul E says winning the match cost Sabu a match against Chris Benoit so Paul E sent in 911 instead. We go to clips from the 10-01 Arena show. 911 and Benoit are in the ring. Sabu hobbles down the aisle and Benoit attacks him. Paul E says he thought he had seen it all and then he saw him come down the aisle to wrestle. Sabu is fucking crazy as he still does all his crazy shit. Sabu goes for air sabu but stops because he can\u2019t jump onto the chair. Benoit charges out of the corner with a clothesline and then kills Sabu with the chair. Benoit goes up top and comes off with the diving head butt but Sabu pulls the chair in the way. Sabu goes up top now for a moonsault but Benoit brings up his knees. Paul E says he is glad with the decision the ref made. Just 30 minutes earlier the fans had seen Sandman lose his eye. It was right to stop the match so they didn\u2019t have another wrestler permanently injured. Sabu looks for revenge against Cactus Jack for his injury at N2R Night 1. Paul E then hypes the Benoit match at night 2. <\/p>\n We are at TV Champion Jason\u2019s house. He is laying on the floor with his title. I don\u2019t pay much attention but then they show a bunch of clips from his matches. Jason says he has taken out insurance on the TV Title and that insurance is Dean Malenko. He then sings Joe Cocker\u2019s \u201cYou Are So Beautiful\u201d to the belt and kisses it. That was fucking great. <\/p>\n We go to fan cam of Tommy Cairo getting DQed in his match against Mikey Whipwreck.

\nPE beat on their opponents with bats and then hit the reverse DDT and moonsault for the win in 2.03. PE sending a message to the Pitbulls who they face on the 4th and the current ECW Tag Team Champions Mikey and Cactus whom they try to dethrone on the 5th. <\/p>\n
\nThis could be decent. Some fast action to start and Benoit bails after taking a drop kick. Ray with a plancha. Back in the ring Benoit with a suplex and some chops. Benoit with a stiff clothesline followed by a back elbow for 2. Benoit with a slam and then a sharpshooter. German and northern lights each get a 2 count. Benoit goes for a belly to back but Ray rolls over and lands on top for a 2 count. We cut away as Dreamer shows up backstage and says he wants Cairo back on. Benoit hangs Ray out to dry on the top rope. Slam by Benoit and he heads up top. Diving head butt gets the 1, 2, 3 for Benoit. 5.53 was shown. Not sure if they cut stuff out when they went to Dreamer backstage. <\/p>\n
\nCactus hits the ring and attacks. Joey told us before the match that Sabu broke 3 ribs during it. Jack puts Sabu on the middle rope and then goes to the floor. Jack swings a chair but Sabu moves and it hits the ropes and nails Jack. Sabu goes for a springboard moonsault and totally over shoots and lands on the guard rail and probably breaks 3 ribs. We take a commercial break and when we get back 911 has hit the ring and attacked Jack. I assume this is to stall and see if Sabu can continue. Jack throws Sabu down on a chair. Jack goes for a suplex but Sabu reverses. Jack is bleeding likely from his fight with 911. Sabu can barely get up and Jack suplexs a table onto Sabu\u2019s back. Oh god that had to have been so painful. Sabu gets a chair and gets back in the ring and nails Jack. Air sabu, with broken ribs. Sabu misses the arabian face buster 3 times in a row and then fakes a third. Jack rolls out of the way and then rolls back expecting Sabu to be on the ground but instead gets hit in the face with the face buster. Jack comes right back and throws Sabu to the floor where he suplexes him on a table. This all seems so mean. They fight into the crowd. Cactus with a piledriver on a stage. Sabu dives off the stage onto Jack. Back towards the ring Jack goes after Paul E so 911 spikes him into the guard rail. Sabu with a springboard moonsault that puts Jack through a table. Cactus gets a bottle but Sabu fights him off. Split legged moonsault for 2.8. Air sabu but Cactus catches him but then can\u2019t hold him up. Sabu lands on top and gets 2. Sabu nails Cactus in the head 7 times with the bottle before it breaks. You can hear the ping of the glasses on the head of Cactus. My god. Sabu drops on the top rope and comes off with a moonsault for 3. 13.31 is shown.<\/p>\n
\nLoved it! It\u2019s ECW\u2019s WrestleMania season as we being the build to November to Remember! Truthfully the build had already started maybe two weeks ago but matches have been made official this week. Top to bottom a very good show. All the promos were on point and gave good hype to N2R. The PE match gave a big push on the hardcore tag matches coming up at N2R and the other were good. Sabu did so much if his ribs were legit broken which I can\u2019t see how they weren\u2019t. Cactus getting hit with a bottle 7 times! Great. The one thing I don\u2019t like is that Tommy Cairo is now the bad guy for being glad the wife beating pimp was hurt. <\/p>\nTV 1994-10-25 (Matches taped 1994-09-30 at Fieldhouse in Hamburg, Pa)<\/h4>\n

\nHack able to get in way more offense then expected. Joey suggests Scorpio is off his game as Borne has gotten into his head. Scorpio come back and hits a dive out of the ring. Scorpio comes off the top with a splash but only gets 2. Hack drop a leg on the apron. Hack goes for his finisher but Scorpio pulls him off the top. Scorpio with a tombstone and 450 for the victory in 4.47.<\/p>\n
\nTaz with an over head belly to belly. Benoit drop kicks Taz and it sends Taz to the floor. Baseball slide by Benoit. Back in the ring Taz with a german that plants Benoit on the back of his head. To the floor and into the crowd they go. Benoit with a superplex from the top rope. Benoit with a boston crab. Joey announces the main event for NT2 Night 2. It\u2019s Shane Douglas defending against Ron Simmons. Really they waited all show to announce that? T bone suplex by Taz gets 2. Snap suplex by Benoit for 2. Power bomb but again Taz kicks out. Taz back up with a t bone again for only 2. Benoit off the middle rope with a leg drop as the countdown to the end of the time limit begins. Taz with a german for 2. Benoit comes off the rope with the diving head butt for 2. 30 seconds left. Benoit goes back up top Taz cuts him off and hits a super northern lights suplex. Both men are down each with an arm draped across each other but before the ref counts 3 we get a \u201c10\u201d minute time limit draw in 9.22. <\/p>\n
\nOn a roll here with another good show. Totally disappointed in the main event being Douglas Simmons though. Shane has really had no direction the past few months. All his promos and matches have been decent but he has not had a feud at all. <\/p>\nTV 1994-11-01 (Matches taped 1994-09-30 at Fieldhouse in Hamburg, Pa)<\/h4>\n

\nJIP Woman is at ringside. Stetson with a forearm. Woman on the apron Stetson reaches for the cane and she throws it to Dreamer. Joey wonders if she just messed up and it was an accident. Dreamer nails Stetson as the ref is tied up with Woman. Dreamer covers and \u201chides\u201d the cane on his side and gets the pin. Only .29 was shown<\/p>\n
