Hello You!
It’s the go-home show for Heatwave 2000 today. I should have that show up tomorrow as well, so keep a look out for it.
Will ECW have any last big angles to pump us up for the pay per view? Let’s watch on and find out!
ECW 2000

Hello You!
Time for some more ECW, as we are 8 days out from Heatwave 2000 in Los Angeles
Last week we had some good matches up and down the show, with a strong Steve Corino Vs Kid Kash Main Event. The bar has certainly been raised for this week now!
Let’s see what ECW has in store for us as we watch some chuffing wrestling!

Hello You!
We’ve got Scotty Anton Vs Rob Van Dam, Rhino Vs Sandman and Justin Credible Vs Tommy Dreamer all set for Heatwave on the 16th of July. Let’s see if we get some more build up on this week’s episode of Hardcore TV!

Hello You!
More Hardcore TV for ya’ll
Last week Paul Heyman vented his spleen for the world to see, and it probably didn’t help with getting him or ECW into TNN’s good graces. Let’s see if there’s any fall out for that this week.
Time for some chuffing wrestling!

Hello You!
Here we are with some more ECW, as Justin Credible’s reign of meh continues on.
Hopefully they actually start some proper build to Heatwave this week.
Let’s watch the wrestling you chuffing beauties!

Hello You!
There’s a shedload of horrible stuff going on in the real world right now, so let’s distract ourselves for a brief moment with some ECW Hardcore TV.
Stay safe out there and look after one another.
Mike Reviews: ECW Hardcore TV #370 – 27/05/2000
Hello You!
Last week’s show was pretty throwaway with little of any real importance going on. Let’s hope this one is a bit more exciting.

Condolences to the friends and family of Larry Csonka and Shad Gaspard, who both sadly passed away this week. There’s actually a Go Fund Me up for Larry’s daughters if you feel like you want to contribute. I’ll put the link below;

Mike Reviews – ECW Hardcore Heaven 2000 (14/05/2000)
Hello You!
It’s time for another ECW pay per view, one of which I thankfully have the official Laser Light Digital version of so I can enjoy it with all the real music and whatnot. If I recall there is a really random edit in one of the matches that never made any sense to me, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.
This event hasn’t been promoted all that great, with a paltry three matches officially announced on the go-home show. I’ve not bothered to go back and check what the buy rate was, but I imagine few outside of the ECW diehards were going to bother buying a show where more than half the card hadn’t been confirmed in advance. That might still mean that the show defeats WCW Slamboree 2000 though, as when it comes to having barely any of the card announced or a full card with David Arquette defending his World Title in the Main Event, the former is likely to do better than the latter.

Hello You!
This week it’s the go-home show for Hardcore Heaven 2000. I should have that show up tomorrow all being well so keep an eye open for it.
Let’s watch some chuffing wrestling!
Mike Reviews: ECW Hardcore TV #367 – 06/05/2000
Hello You!
So last week ECW decided to put the World Title on a certain fellow known as Justin Credible. Yeah, as you can guess that was a tad controversial back at the time and is still roundly criticised to this day. Still though, let’s see if Justin can present himself as a credible (pun partially intended) Champion going forward. I mean, his first feud is likely going to be Tommy Dreamer, so it might take a while like, but we could get there eventually…maybe…
Chuffing wrestling, let’s watch!

Hello You!
Cyber Slam 2000 happened the previous week, so tonight we’ve got some matches from that and we will also learn how the ECW World Title situation will resolve itself. That particular situation ended up being pretty infamous amongst the ECW fan base due to how it all ends up.

Mike Reviews: ECW Hardcore TV #365 – 22/04/2000
Hello You!
So last week all heck broke loose due to ECW Champ Mike Awesome deciding to jump to WCW. ECW managed to get him back for one last show, where they had him drop the belt to WWF wrestler Taz, who then promptly got jobbed out to Triple H on Smackdown. However, Taz isn’t a regular roster member, so the Title picture is still in a case of flux with Cyber Slam 2000 looming on the horizon.

Hello You!
So last week ECW looked to start a Main Event feud between ECW Champ Mike Awesome and Tommy Dreamer, whilst The Impact Players were set to feud with Nova and Chris Chetti. However, things have taken a bit of a wild turn, which we’ll get into today.

Hello You!
Well, the world’s gone a bit mad hasn’t it? Here’s a review of ECW Hardcore TV to hopefully distract you all from it. Good tidings to all.

Hello You!
I hope you’re all keeping well in these unpleasant times. Remember to wash your hands and keep your distance from folk until we finally nip this thing in the bud. If you’re in isolation at the moment, then hopefully this here review of Hardcore TV will distract you. Last week was a fun show with some decent wrestling, so let’s see if ECW can keep the momentum going.

Mike Reviews: ECW Hardcore TV #361– 25/03/2000
Hello You!
Last week we had the rare ECW non-finish, all done with the idea of strengthening Mike Awesome and Raven as a heel tandem. As a result, they’re getting a shot at the Tag Titles this week, although I can’t help but shake the feeling that eventually they are going to be enemies once all is said and done.

Hello You!
Last week we looked at Living Dangerously 2000 (Review HERE) and it was a pretty underwhelming event that at least left us with a brand new ECW TV Champ in the form of Super Crazy. Crazy needed perhaps a bit too much help from Rob Van Dam to achieve it, but it’s still a major Title for someone new near the top of the card, so that’s something.
Normally these post pay per view editions of the show tend to be more about recaps instead of anything new, but hopefully there’s something worth watching on it.

Mike Reviews: ECW Living Dangerously 2000 – 12/03/2000
Hello You!
To say the past month or so of these reviews has been a tumultuous time for ECW would perhaps be somewhat of an understatement, with a costly leg injury to Rob Van Dam causing him to have to vacate his ECW TV Title and essentially blow the Main Event scene to pieces.
With the TV Title now vacated, we will crown a new Champion tonight in a 4 man tournament, as Super Crazy takes on Little Guido and Rhino has a long awaited singles battle with The Sandman. Sadly the Quarter Finals all got crammed in to one episode of Hardcore TV (The last one I did in fact) so the matches have all been chopped to pieces to fit the allotted time. Hopefully the matches tonight at least get some time to breathe.
ECW World Champ Mike Awesome doesn’t even have a Title defence tonight, as he will instead be defending one half of his newly won Tag Team Titles with Raven against two teams in a Three Way Dance. As a result, there isn’t really a clear marquee Main Event for this show, which combined with the general way the card has been thrown together means that I am probably less hyped for this show than any I have covered since starting these reviews last year.
I actually do own the DVD version of this show from Laser Light Digital, but I couldn’t find it so I’m going to be stuck with the WWE Network version, which means there’ll be music dubbing galore. Oh well, let’s just hope some of the dubbed music is good eh?
Anyway, that’s enough of wittering from me, let’s watch some chuffing wrestling!
