Oh yeah, this is gonna rule. Psycho takes off his mask after he gets in the ring. Styles said he gave it to the fans as a show of love.

Styles said they’ve wrestled over 500 times over the years. They mat wrestle early on, Psycho with an arm drag out of the corner as they have a stalemate.

Chris Benoit vs. Eddie Guerrero
Oh hell yes. Benoit is out first. Styles says this match will be as good a match as you will see from any wrestlers at any time. For those wondering, all WWE performers are getting their WWE ring music. Styles mentioned Heyman wanted to promote this in ECW, but they never had it in ECW. He said Heyman knew they’d be world champions in the future and he was right.

They lock up, stalemate in the corner. “She’s got herpes” chant by the crowd at the direction of Edge, referencing Lita. This crowd is awesome. Guerrero bails to the floor after he can’t get the advantage. He comes back, kick to the gut, chops followed by punches to the back. Guerrero with a back elbow, then they exchanged killer jobs as Guerrero goes to the eye rake, then the boot stomp on the face. Guerrero with a stiff chinlock as the crowd chants “Let’s Go Benoit” then “Let’s Go Eddie” immediately after. I love this crowd. Benoit fights back with a nice back suplex as Guerrero has a cut on his nose. Eddie with chops in the corner, then a Snapmare gets two as he goes for another hold on the mat using his hands under Benoit’s nose. I should add that I like Mick Foley a lot as an announcer. Then during the hold the crowd chants “Fuck You Bischoff” at Eric. Guerrero brings him up, Benoit charges, Eddie bails and Benoit goes flying through the ropes to the floor. Eddie with a chair to the back. Six minutes in now, so maybe it’ll get more time than the others, which is good.

Now on the ring apron, Eddie goes up with him and hits a really stiff superplex off the top. To the top, Guerrero misses the Frog Splash as Benoit rolls out of the way. Benoit chops the hell out of him, Eddie fights back with chops of his own and Benoit clotheslines him down, then hits a bridging Northern Lights suplex for two. Benoit to the top with Eddie and he hits his own superplex as Styles says “payback is a bitch.” That gets two. One German suplex for Benoit, then another and a third one that he releases his hands on. Signal for the headbutt, to the top and the headbutt hits on the shoulder for the two count. They fight a bit, Guerrero with a nearfall attempt on a rollup gets two. They fight some more, Benoit counters a pinfall attempt with a Crossface on Guerrero’s right arm. Eddie doesn’t move out of the hold at all, tapping out and giving Benoit the win after 11 minutes. The anti-ECW guys up top applaud Benoit, specifically the Smackdown ones who are happy that Benoit is on their show. They do a staredown to end it.
Winner: Chris Benoit


Mike Awesome vs. Masato Tanaka
During the entrances of the wrestlers, the Raw superstars turn their back to the wrestlers in the ring. For those who don’t know, this is a famous rivalry from ECW’s past. They had some great matches about six years ago, especially. Styles mentions Awesome pissed him off when he left ECW for WCW by taking more money. Pretty funny and I think Joey was speaking from the heart there.

Awesome tosses him to the floor, then he comes off with a suicide dive over the top rope. Styles says he wishes he hit his head. Ha. Charge in, Tanaka with a backdrop. Then a chair shot to the head, whip into the rail, Awesome with a boot and a clothesline sends him down. Awesome gets a ringside table, then sets it up on the floor off. Tanaka charges in at him, Awesome takes advantage and hits a running powerbomb off the apron through the table that was propped up on the floor. That’s called an Awesome Bomb OH MY GOD from Joey, well deserved. In the ring, Awesome hits his top rope Awesome Splash for just two. Powerbomb attempt, Tanaka fights out, but Awesome ends up hitting a really stiff powerbomb on him. Chair dual as Awesome misses, Tanaka misses, and Awesome hits him hard three times. Tanaka is still up. Tanaka is freaking nuts. Off the middle rope, Diamond Dust from Tanaka and he sets up the steel chairs on the ground, then hits a tornado DDT on the chairs for just two. With Awesome on the ground, he puts a chair on his face and catches him with a chairshot on the face.

To the top, he comes down with a chair onto Awesome’s face, crashing him hard with it. That only gets two. Elbow by Tanaka misses, German Suplex by Awesome, then a spear and now to the top again. Top rope chair shot from Awesome. The WWE guys in the balcony are laughing at the “idiocy” of these guys. Styles jokes about Awesome’s horrible “fat chick thriller” gimmick in WCW. Awesome slowly brings a table in, sets it up and goes for a superplex, but Tanaka counters it into a Tornado DDT through a table. Holy shit. Wow. Now they go up top again and Awesome hits an Awesome Bomb off the top rope with his back to the middle part of the ring as Tanaka kicks out at two! My God. Crowd is giving them a standing ovation. Now Awesome is setting up a table on the floor and goes for another Awesome Bomb over the top. Tanaka counters, but Awesome catches him, throws him over the top through the table on the floor with a powerbomb and then dives through onto him for the pinfall on the floor. Wow. Match was 10 minutes long. Seemed longer, but man, it was still outstanding. Crowd chanted “This Match Rules” towards the end. They were right.
Winner: Mike Awesome


The Dudley Boys vs. Sandman & Tommy Dreamer
Dreamer decks Bubba as D’Von fights with Sandman on the floor, Bubba with a cookie sheet to the head. “Dreamer should keep his office job” says Styles. Cheese grater to the face by Bubba, grating Dreamer’s face and cutting him open massive. Wow. That’s a sick cut. Senton by Bubba misses as Dreamer moves out of the way. Reverse 3D on Dreamer, Sandman in with a ladder to hit both Dudleys. Dreamer with the ladder on his shoulders, spinning around and drilling the Dudleys with it. Now Dreamer with the cheese grater to Bubba’s skull. Ouch. In ring, Sandman with a drop toe hold on D’Von on the trash can. He scores two. Foley goes: “I don’t mean to laugh, but I love this stuff.” Dreamer cracks Bubba on the floor with a cookie sheet, Sandman sets up D’Von under the ladder and hits a rolling senton off the top. Bubba’s in with a STIFF chairshot to Sandman’s head. “Holy Shit” chant from the crowd. Sandman lays on the table as D’Von holds him and Bubba hits a frog splash onto him from there for just two. D’Von hits Bubba with the cane, then Sandman with a cane assisted legsweep. Double figure fours by Dreamer and Sandman. Here comes Lance Storm and Justin Credible.

Credible has barbed wire, and hits the That’s Incredible tombstone piledriver on the barb wire. Here comes Francine. She kicks Dreamer in the nuts. Here’s Beulah, Dreamer’s real life wife. CATFIGHT! Classic. Impact Players go to double team, Beulah kicks Credible low. Dreamer hugs her. They hit a dual DDT, each of one getting a Dudley although Bubba did drop early on it. With a chair on D’Von’s nuts, D’Von used a street sign on the chair to crack him in the nuts. Bubba with a kendo stick to the heads of his opponents, then another one to Dreamer. Bubba gets his own table now. D’Von with a powerbomb on Sandman through a table. Dreamer cleans house now with sticks, D’Von whips him into the ropes and they hit the Dudley Death Drop (3D), but no cover. Bubba gets a table. He signals to the back as Spike Dudley comes out in his old ECW wear as an “LSD” chant starts up. He’s got lighter fluid and matches. They light it up, Bubba hits Dreamer with a stiff powerbomb through the flaming table for the 3 count after about 10 minutes. Dudleys went to get Beulah, but Sandman saved here.
