ECW Hardcore TV Results - 02/09/06
All Coming For Rhino

Take A Seat...A Backseat
As the opening credits closed, fans were shown glimpses of two men walking down a corridor. People wave at them, before they walk out onto a stage, teenage girls screaming for them. The camera pans around and it is actually the Backseat Boyz and it's not a wrestling ring. They walk off as the screen simply states "They Are Coming"

MATCH ONE: Tag Team Match
Samoa Joe & Tommy Dreamer beat Tazz & Sabu in 8:14
Bill Alfonso assured us that Tazz & Sabu were fine after a brief mishap on Wednesday night yet I think they could be heading for all out war. After co-operating for most of the match, their one mishap proved to be the decision-maker. With Dreamer taken out on the outside, Sabu set up for the triple jump moonsault. Yet as he jumped onto the top rope, Tazz got thrown over them by Joe, and Sabu got crotched. One Muscle buster later and Joe stays undefeated. After the match, Sabu got in his face again but this time it was Tazz who made the move, choking out Sabu and leaving him lying

MATCH TWO: Bye Bye Mike
Shane Douglas destroyed Mike Awesome in 3:34
Good God did Mike Awesome let himself down. He came in sluggish and the returning Franchise made his impact. He came in with a head of steam, throwing around Mike and keeping him grounded with a variety of submissions. As fans watched in awe, Douglas hit a sick looking Franchiser for the one-two-three, then threw Awesome out of the ring and out of ECW for good measure
