Zohash.com, I'm here to give you the lowdown on the main event from Asbury Park! The Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) faithful packed the Convention Hall in New Jersey, ready to witness some of the most electrifying action the world has to offer.
The night began with a bang as Super Crazy took down Yoshihiro Tajiri in an exhilarating singles match. The high-flying luchador's aerial attacks left Tajiri reeling, ultimately resulting in a pin at 9:55. It was a fantastic way to kick things off, folks!
Next up, Balls Mahoney and Steve Corino clashed in a battle of brawn over brains. In the end, it was Mahoney's brute strength that proved too much for Corino, as he emerged victorious in just 3 minutes and 56 seconds.
Little Guido then stepped into the ring with Antifaz, looking to make a statement. The young prospect did exactly that, pinning his opponent at 5:37 in a contest that showcased both men's technical skills.
The ECW World Television Title was up for grabs when Rob Van Dam faced off against Jerry Lynn. What ensued was an incredible 21-minute battle, with VBD's innovative moveset ultimately proving too much for the challenger. That one had it all, folks – drama, action, and even a few near-falls.
New Jack looked to keep his winning streak alive against Mustafa, but the underdog gave him a run for his money before eventually succumbing at 9:27.
The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von) looked to continue their reign of terror in ECW as they took on Sid and Spike Dudley. In a thrilling tag team match that saw both teams trading holds and high-impact moves, the Duds managed to eke out a narrow victory at 11:00.
Shane Douglas and Tommy Dreamer then faced off against The Impact Players (Justin Credible and Lance Storm) in a contest that showcased some of the best wrestling on the card. In the end, it was Team ECW that emerged victorious, their tag team title hopes left tantalizingly intact at 18:58.
And finally, we came to the main event – a Falls Count Anywhere match for the ECW Heavyweight Title, with Taz putting his crown on the line against Sabu. In a wild and unpredictable contest that saw both men take their beating in some of the most creative spots you'll ever see, Taz managed to retain his title at an incredible 24 minutes.
