Written By: JIM SIMMONS
[7:00-7:15]
Joey Styles and Larry Zbyszko are in the ECW announce booth. The sold out arena is going nuts and chanting "ECW!!!, ECW!!!, ECW!!!". Styles says, "Welcome to Extreme Championship Wrestling!!! We are live
from The Phillips Arena in Atlanta Georgia in the heart of wCw territory!!! With me as always is my broadcast partner The Living Legend Larry Zbyszko." The fans start chanting "Larry!, Larry!, Larry!" and Larry rises from his chair and gives the fans his customary hand salute. Styles, "While Larry is getting reacquainted with the fans here in Georgia, let me tell you we have a great card for you tonight. Already signed for tonight is Disco Inferno and Rey Mysterio Jr. in an I Quit match, and we also have Booker T who has agreed to defend his North American title one last time against Kane. And after what Kane did to Booker on Monday Night Massacre this one out to be a bloody contest! Our main event has not yet been announced..." Styles is then cut off by "Back in Black" by AC/DC as Eric Bischoff and Hydra make their way to the ring. Vader, Lex Luger, Jeff Jarrett, Chris Benoit, Lance Storm and the ladies Sable and Dawn Marie are lead to the ring by Eric Bischoff to a huge round of boos from the capacity crowd. Eric, "Wow...what can I say, I feel the same way about each and every one of you. No, really...I really, really do. Okay enough of the bullshit, down to business! The Kliq got damn lucky on Monday, that however will not happen tonight!" Crowd boos Hydra. "Yeah, whatever...anyway I know we are deep in enemy territory, deep in the heart of wCw country, a company that I raised to a plateau that it will never reach under the guidance of Vince McMahon. My point is proven as I look around at this crowd and there is not an empty seat in the house! ECW, no let me correct that, Hydra has sold out The Phillips Arena. We all know that you guys are here to see what we will do next, who the next member of Hydra will be. The one question I have gotten all week via e-mail and phone calls even a few telegrams was is Mysterio or is he not a member of this allstar cast. Have only five heads of the seven headed serpent been revealed or six?" The crowd still booing. "You would really like me to tell you wouldn't you?" The crowd pops thinking Easy E. will reveal the information. "Well like everyone else you will just have to wait and see." Crowd boos Bischoff. "And since we are in the heart of wCw country." Crowd pops. "I'm sending out a challenge to the so-called owner of wCw Vince McMahon, now Vinnie I have made this challenge before and you no-showed, and so I am issuing it again! Since your so fond of street fights why don't you meet me tonight or perhaps next Thursday on Carnage since we'll be in your old stomping grounds of Madison Square Garden!" Crowd pops again. "I'll be awaiting your answer, I know you still have my cell number on your speed dial as well as that bitch daughter of yours!" Then the familiar wolf howl blares over the p.a. and out comes The Kliq- Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Triple H along with Stacy Keibler and the majority owner of ECW Stephanie McMahon. Steph is wearing a very revealing red dress and Stacy is wearing her School Girl Outfit, with pigtails and licking on a lollipop. Steph has a mic, "Bischoff, since you and your boys don't have anything else to do but run your mouths, I'm about to give you something to do! Four members of Hydra, and I'll even let you pick them, will face The Kliq tonight in the main event in an eight man tag match!" The crowd pops big for this announcment. Eric, "I'll tell you what, Steph! Since you made the match I make the stipulations for the match." Steph, "Go for it Sleezy E." Eric, "Very cute Steph, what I propose is this, a cage match...elimination rules, and if my team wins I get five minutes in the ring with you Stephanie!" Nash takes the mic from Steph, "You're on you little prick! And when we win this match with your little boys, The Kliq gets five minutes in the ring with you!" With that The Kliq exits the stage area and Hydra follows not far behind and we go back to the announce booth. Styles, "What a main event that will be!" Larry, "No doubt about it, that main event is a pay per view quality match with eight of the biggest stars in the industry today facing off." Styles, "And up next The Laughing Man Hugh Morrus takes on Balls Mahoney in what should be an intense confrontation."
Hugh Morrus w/Ted DiBiase
vs.
Balls Mahoney w/Jenna Jameson
"Every man has a price...hahahahaha!" And the rest of the theme plays as "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase leads his man Hugh Morrus to the ring to a chorus of boos. Morrus and Dibiase perform their signature ring entrances drawing even more heat from the crowd. Then "Big Balls" by AC/DC plays on the p.a. and the crowd gets to their feet to support the big man Balls Mahoney who is accompanied to the ring by Jenna Jameson who is attired in a pair of short shorts that do absolutely nothing to hide the cheeks of her ass and a white tube top that just barely contain her massive breasts. Balls enters the ring with a chair in hand and goes to work on Morrus, blasting him between the eyes with the chair. He continues to work on Morrus driving the top of the chair into the throat of Morrus. Finally Mahoney throws the chair away and drags Morrus to his feet. Balls whips Morrus to the ropes. Hugh rebounds off the ropes and is met with a hard clothesline from Mahoney. Balls climbs to the top turnbuckle and leaps off with a leg drop, but Morrus rolls out of the way to avoid the contact. Morrus staggers to his feet first and waits. When Balls gets back to his feet Hugh catches him with a dropkick to the face. The Laughing Man drags Balls to his feet and drapes him across his shoulders in a fireman's carry position. He then lifts him in the air and brings him down across his knee with a gut buster. He drags The Chair Swinging Freak to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Mahoney rebounds off the ropes and gets caught with a vicious power slam. Morrus goes quickly to the top looking for his finisher. As he leaps rotating backward with The No Laughing Matter, Mahoney is able to move out of the way. Both men are slow getting back to their feet with Morrus getting up first. Hugh charges Balls just as he gets to his feet but Mahoney sidesteps him and sends him in face first to the turnbuckle. Morrus rebounds off the turnbuckle and staggers into The BallBreaker! Mahoney makes the cover; one, two, thre..kickout by Morrus! Mahoney drags Morrus to his feet and scoops him up looking for The Nutcracker Suite (Michiniku Driver) but Morrus ducks his head and hooks the head of Mahoney and rolls through with a small package for a near fall! Both men are quickly back to their feet and hit simultaneus clotheslines, sending both men down again. Mahoney rolls over and drapes an arm across Hugh but only gets a count of one. Both men get to their feet again and DiBiase slides a chair into Morrus. Hugh measures Mahoney and nearly takes his head off with a vile chair shot that busts the big man open! Morrus goes up top once again looking for his finisher but Jenna climbs up on the ring apron and shakes the ropes causing Morrus to fall, crotching himself on the top turnbuckle! Balls climbs to the top rope and scoops Morrus up into the body slam position. Balls leaps off the turnbuckle spinning and plants Morrus in the center of the ring with The Nutcracker Suite! He covers The Laughing man but DiBiase breaks it up by dragging the official out of the ring. Mahoney slides out of the ring and gives chase to Ted who is running for his life around the ringside area, until the boom gets lowered on him by Jenna Jameson with a wicked chair shot to the face! The crowd pops huge as Jenna gets Ted in position and plants him on the chair with her finisher The Cradle Pile Driver! Balls slides back into the ring but gets taken down with a hard clothesline from Morrus. Hugh climbs to the top rope and leaps off backward executing a moonsault head-butt! Hugh drags Balls to the center of the ring and then goes to the opposite corner. Morrus climbs to the top rope leaping again, this time hitting The No Laughing Matter! He makes the cover and picks up the victory!
Winner: Hugh Morrus w/Ted DeBiase in 11:36 via pinfall.
Break
[7:15-7:30]
In the parking garage we see a catering truck pull up. A couple of guys get out and start unloading some food. Up walks Steph, Stacy, and The Kliq. Hall says, "Hey Chico, where is this food going?"
One of the guys looks at his chart and says, "Mr. Eric Bischoff."
Steph pulls out a wad of cash and hands it to the caterers. Steph says, "Why don't you two take a walk and come back in about 10 minutes." They leave as Steph, Stacy, Hall, HHH, HBK, and Nash begin laughing. Nash says, "What say we give Easy E and the boys from Hydra a little added worry tonight going into their match?"
HBK pulls out a vial of some sort of liquid and says, "You know, I wouldn't wish a stomach ache like they are about to have on my worst enemy." HBK and the others look at each other and begin laughing again. HBK says, "What am I saying, of course I would!" HBK pours the liquid into the coffee pots as we cut back to the announce booth.
As we come back from the break our attention is directed to the videotron where a heated discussion is taking place in the office of ECW Commissioner Terry Funk. Funk looks at Mysterio and Disco, "So you two want an I Quit match to decide not only who will be the third man in the title match at Grave Consequences but also to decide who stays in ECW?" Disco, "Thats right old man!" Rey, "I'm getting tired of hearing how this bitch ran me out of ECW and it seems that this is the only way to settle it!" Funk, "Fine, just so you both know, there is going to be a fourth man in that title match." Disco, "Who?" Mysterio, "It won't matter because you won't be here to participate!" Disco storms out of Funk's office and Funk looks at Rey and says, "Rey, I don't know whose side you're on in this Hydra thing, but it is good to have you back where you belong here in ECW." Rey, "Thanks Terry, but you know I'm on the side I have always been on, my own." The shot fades to black and we go back to the ECW Announce Booth. Larry and Styles are discussing the nights events and what has lead up to the next match which is for The ECW World Six Man Tag Titles. Larry, "So we still don't know if Rey is a part of Hydra or not, I guess only time will tell. Anyway, Let's review the footage from Massacre." They roll the footage from Monday showing how The Nation of Domination decimated The Triple Threat after their title defense against The Latino World Order and the comments made by Faarooq towards Bradshaw. Styles, "Anyone who knows anything about The Triple Threat knows they won't be taking that kind of abuse from anyone."
ECW World Six Man Tag Team Titles
The Triple Threat- Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and Bradshaw [Champions] w/Francine and Tammy Lynn
vs.
The Nation; Mark Henry, Ahmed Johnson and Faarooq
Triple Threat's music hits and the crowd gets on thier feet for the ECW World Six Man Tag Team Champions. Shane Douglas, Bradshaw and Chris Candido are accompanied to the ring by Tammy Lynn and Francine to a great reaction from the crowd. Bradshaw has a mic, "You know, some people just don't get it! Farooq, what were you thinking! I tried to get you to come to ECW with me and be a part of this, but no you wanted to stay in WWF. Then I hear rumors that you have hooked back up with those losers from your days in The Nation and then you show up here and blindside us. Well son, you made that bed and now you'll have to lay in it!" Then the theme for The Nation starts thumping on the p.a. and here they come; Farooq being flanked by Ahmed Johnson and Mark Henry posing for the crowd and getting booed out of the building. The three big men hit the ring and its on with all six men beating the hell out of each other. Ahmed takes Candido over the top rope with a clothesline and then follows him out while Mark hits an overhead release suplex on Douglas sending him over the top and Henry follows him out. Farooq and Bradshaw stand toe to toe trading right hands with niether man going down until Bradshaw hits a boot to the gut and then a clubbing forearm to the back of the neck that sends Farooq down in a heap. The big Texan drags his former friend to his feet and whips him to the ropes; Farooq rebounds off the ropes and gets taken off his feet and down to the mat with a nicely executed side slam. Bradshaw gets quickly to his feet and rebounds off the ropes and hits a leg drop across the throat of the former All-American football star. Bradshaw goes for the cover; one, two..kickout by Farooq. On the outside Johnson continues to pummel Candido, scooping him up and presses him above his head, but instead of dropping him he converts the move into a powerbomb on the concrete! On the opposite side of the ring The Franchise and Mark Henry are slugging it out. Henry tries to whip Douglas into the ring post but Douglas reverses the momentum and sends the big man into the post where he hits his head with a resounding thud. Douglas runs around the side of the ring and gets taken out by Ahmed Johnson with a clothesline that turns The Franchise inside out! Ahmed then slides into the ring and nails Bradshaw from behind with a vile chair shot to the back of the head. Farooq drags the big Texan to his feet and drapes him over one shoulder in a modified backbreaker then slams him forward with The Dominator! Farooq goes for the pin but its broken up when Candido hits a missile drop kick from the top rope that knocks Johnson on top of Farooq! Ahmed gets to his feet and Candido takes him down with a drop kick to the knee. Mark Henry then grabs Chris from behind with a full nelson, while Farooq goes to work on Bradshaw laying in the boots to the head. Douglas slips into the ring and nails the low blow on Henry forcing him to release Candido. Chris then takes Farooq down with a spinning heel kick to the back of the head of Farooq. Bradshaw gets back to his feet kicks Farooq until he is out of the ring. When he turns around he catches Ahmed Johnson coming in with a ring shaking spine buster! Douglas and Candido drag Henry to his feet and whip him at Bradshaw who takes him down with The Clothesline From Hell! Douglas makes the cover to pick up the victory for his team.
Winners and still ECW World Six Man Tag Team Champions: The Triple Threat; Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and Bradshaw w/Tammy Lynn and Francine in 12:44 via pinfall.

Break
[7:30-7:45]
As we come back from the break Joey and Larry are still discussing the six man title defense we just watched and the match between Rey Mysterio and Disco Inferno that is yet to come. Larry, "The Triple Threat really bounced back and handled The Nation after being decimated by them on Monday." Styles, "Yes they did Larry, but everyone knew that is the way it would go down, you cannot normally get the drop on The Triple Threat and when you do you won't get that same opportunity a second time. Anyway on with the business at hand." Larry, "Right, Disco Inferno requested and was granted an I Quit match not only for his spot in the ECW Extreme-Cruiserweight title match at Grave Consequences on October 13th but has also put his spot in ECW on the line, if he looses he's gone." Styles, "Personally I think that Disco has lost his mind, but his career, his decision."
I Quit Match
Rey Mysterio Jr.
vs.
Disco Inferno
Disco Inferno's music hits and out comes the former ECW Extreme-Cruiserweight Champion to a chorus of boos. It doesn't seem to phaze him as he ignores the crowd and heads straight to the ring without acknowledging the crowd at all. Then the music of Rey Mysterio hits and the crowd gets on thier feet as Rey pauses to pose and give out high fives to the fans at ringside. Disco doesn't wait for Rey to get into the ring and goes for a suicide dive through the ring ropes which Mysterio sidesteps and Disco eats the concrete. Rey is all over that mistake and starts beating the hell out of the prone Disco Inferno. Rey drags Disco to his feet and whips him into the ringpost and then follows it up with a hurricanranna that leaves Disco dazed and confused. Rey picks Disco up and rams his head into the ring apron repeatedly, then slides Disco into the ring. Rey vaults to the top turnbuckle and as Disco is gaining his balance Mysterio leaps from the top hitting a Dragonranna on Disco! Rey slides out of the ring and grabs the microphone and a chair. He drops the mic in the center of the ring and begins to wail the hell out of Inferno with the chair. He then takes up the mic and turns it on, "Alright Disco tell the people" and he shoves the mic into the face of Disco who responds, "F#ck you Mysterio!" Rey continues to pummel the former champion with vile chair shots to the head and then drapes him over the middle rope. Rey backs up and runs toward the ropes but Disco moves out of the way before Rey can hit the 619. Disco is now back on his feet and begins to fight back hitting Rey with repeated right handed shots to the face. Disco takes Mysterio off his feet with a hard clothesline and then drags him back up. Disco rebounds off the ropes and tries for the clothesline again but Rey ducks it and counters with a falling neck breaker drop. Rey nips back up and goes to the ropes again and hits a quick leg drop across the throat of Disco. Mysterio gets back to his feet and drags Disco closer to the corner and vaults to the top and hits a split legged moonsault! Rey drags the now groggy Disco to his feet and blasts him with the chair he had used earlier. He then throws the chair down and locks Disco in a front face lock. Rey backs up toward the corner turnbuckle and climbs up backward and goes for a tornado DDT but Disco counters and throws Rey onto the chair with a spine buster! Disco grabs the mic this time, "Give it up little man your done!" Rey shakes his head and refuses to quit. Disco drags Rey to his feet and puts him into the fireman's carry position and throws Rey's legs away from this body and hits a modified version of The Chart Buster! Disco tells the ref to ask him again, and again Mysterio refuses to quit. Disco continues to deal out the punishment with kicks to the kidney area and stomps to the back and the back of the head. Disco props Rey up on the bottom turnbuckle pad and backs up to about mid-ring and charges looking for the bronco buster but Rey rolls out of the way. Both men are slow in getting back to thier feet but Rey is up first and hits a spinning heel kick to the jaw of Disco. Mysterio slides out of the ring and grabs a Singapore cane that has been wrapped in barbed wire. Mysterio measures Disco and blasts him between the eyes with the cane busting Disco open! Rey then steps in behind Disco and puts him in a camel clutch using the barbed wire wrapped cane for leverage. The ref puts the mic up to Disco and he finally says "I Quit!"
Winner: Rey Mysterio in 10:29 via Disco Inferno saying "I Quit".
Pamela Paulshock is in the back with The King of Old School Steve Corino, Reno, and The Barbi Twins. Pamela is wearing a metallic blue bikini top and matching thongs, with a see through wrap around her waist. The Barbi Twins are wearing matching very short and low cut paper thin black silk dresses that can't hide the fact they aren't wearing bras or panties. They are both rubbing all over Corino and Reno. Pamela says, "Steve, you and your associates have had your share of problems of late with the team of Mr. Perfect Curt Hennig and the rookie sensation Randy Orton. Not to mention the gorgeous Jasmine St. Claire who is always by their side. What..."
Corino cuts her off by saying, "Get to the point Bitch! Actually, I will get to it for you! As you know we will be facing Hennig and Orton in a cage match at Grave Consequences on October 13th. But it seems that they went to ECW Commissioner Terry Funk and requested a little preview match tonight with us! Well, that is fine with me because I am dying to show them, you, and everyone else why I am 'Everyone's Old School Hero'!" They all blow past Pamela, who seemed to be checking out The Barbi Twins.

New Jack drags O'Haire to his feet again but Sean surprises him and knocks his hands aside then nails the big man with a shot to the throat that knocks him to the mat. With New Jack trying to recover from the shot to the throat, this gives he and Awesome time to double team Dreamer. Over the next several moments they do just that hitting several high impact double team moves on The Innovator of Violence. On the ring apron where New Jack is still trying to recover he is now being choked by Briana which draws Jenna around that side of the ring. Jenna grabs a handful of Briana's hair and drags her away from New Jack. DeBiase however had planned on just that event and nails Jameson from behind with a wicked chair shot to the back of the head.

Big Nash starts for his team and Luger starts for his. You won't see any collar and elbow tie ups in this one. Nash and Luger start beating the hell out of each other while the cage starts to lower. Nash gains the upper hand with a knee to the gut followed up by a kick to the head sending Luger down hard. That's all it takes for the other members of Hydra and The Kliq to enter the ring and turn this thing into a pier 6 brawl. Nash continues to dominate Luger, Hall and Vader are beating the hell out of each other. Triple H and Chris Benoit have spilled over the top rope and to the floor while HBK and Jeff Jarrett are slugging it out near the corner. On the outside Triple H wastes no time in disposing of The Rabbid Wolverine with a vile chair shot right between the eyes, he then re-enters the ring and takes out Jarrett in the same way. Nash still has Luger down and is choking the life out of him, but when he goes after Vader the big man knocks the chair back into his face and really turns the tide for Hydra. Vader then takes hall down with his patented corner splash and a hard clothesline to HBK takes him down as well. The girls are into it on the outside as well with Steph and Stacy taking Sable down with a double clothesline. Stacy manages to slide the sledge hammer into Hunter and he takes down Vader with a shot to the head that busts the big man open. A now bloody Chris Benoit has re-entered the ring and takes Hunter down from behind with The Crippler Crossface! He doesn't have it applied for very long as HBK hits him in the back of the head with the sledge and quicly covers him; one two, three! The Kliq roll Benoit out of the ring and the officials help him to the back where he can get medical attention.
Chris Benoit has been eliminated by Shawn Michaels via pinfall at the 3:26 mark.
While HBK is celebrating Jeff Jarrett comes in from behind and nails all the stroke on HBK and goes for the cover but Nash breaks it up. Nash catches Jarrett with a series of stiff right hand shots to the face but gets wiped out when Vader blindsides him with a double axe handle across the face. Vader then climbs up to the top of the cage and hits a huge moonsault! He gets up looking to eliminate anyone who might break up the count and HBK hits Sweet Chin Music!!! Hall rolls Vader up from behind but the count is broken up by Luger. HBK takes Luger and throws him over the top rope and into the cage wall with authority and the crowd pops big. Hunter has recovered and nails Vader with a shot to the gut with the sledge hammer and then nails Vader with the Pedigree eliminating him from the contest.
Vader has been eliminated by Triple H at the 9:14 mark via pinfall.
The match is now four on two with The Kliq holding the advantage. Luger has re-entered the ring and takes Hall down from behind with a stiff clothesline. Lex then signals to the crowd that its over, but Big Sexy nails him with a boot to the gut and hoists him up in the air and plants him with a huge Jack Knife Power Bomb!!! Nash covers Luger and eliminates him from the match.
Lex Luger has been eliminated by Kevin Nash at the 10:44 mark via pinfall.
It is now four on one with Jeff Jarrett being the lone competitor from Hydra against all four members of The Kliq and they beat the living hell out of him. The four members of The Kliq are battering Double J until he is a bloody mess. Kevin Nash takes a mic which he had stuck in his back pocket before the match. "Hey! Hey Bischoff, you remember what I said not to long ago about us not taking prisoners...This is what you have to look forward to come monday when we get our five minutes in the ring with you!" Hall and Nash hold Jarrett as HBK delivers Sweet Chin Music. They pick him up again and Nash delivers the Jack Knife Power Bomb. They pick him up again and Hunter nails Jarrett with The Pedigree! Then a fourth time they pick him up and Hall gets him up on the turnbuckle and hoists him up onto his shoulders and delivers The Outsiders Edge!!! Then all four men rest a foot on the chest of Jarrett and the ref makes the count.
Jeff Jarrett has been eliminated by all four members of the Kliq at the 14:23 mark via pinfall.
Joey Styles is screaming, "It looks as it The Kliq has pulled one over on Hydra!! But more importantly, The Kliq will get 5 minutes alone with Eric Bischoff!!!"
