ECW 2006: The Tribe of Extreme has risen again!

June 27, 2006
Roanoke, Virginia


The show starts with highlights of Sabu winning the ECW Championship at Vengeance. Paul Heyman in the ring, introducing the new ECW Champion. Heyman hypes Sabu as Homicidal & Genocidal, but then, WWE Champion, Rob Van Dam, comes out to interrupt. He gets in Sabu's face and asks what his problem is, and why he walked out on his match against Cena last night. Sabu doesn't respond, but RVD then tells Sabu, Heyman and the fans now that he is WWE Champion (something he's been trying to be since 1997) he doesn't need ECW since he is now only "Mr. Monday Night". Rob told everyone "see you Monday" then left the arena.

Joey Styles and Tazz then formally introduced the show and themselves, and announced that there'd be a Battle Royal to determine the Number one contender to Sabu's ECW World Championship later tonight.

Backstage: RVD is shown leaving the arena with the entire locker room literally turning their backs on him as he passes them.

Tommy Dreamer comes out and grabs a mic and calls out The Big Show who doesn't take (too) long to come out. Tommy proclaimed his respect for Show and asks for "another". The Big Show chuckles and asks Tommy if he really wants another ass-beating, to which Tommy replied "yes". Big show then chokeslammed Dreamer onto a chair that had been brought in. Big Show left and Tommy was shown smiling through the pain.

Commercial Break

Backstage: The exhibitionist, Kelly, reminded us that tonight she will be making her ECW debut.

Footage of Randy Orton vs. Kurt Angle from Vengeance was shown.

Kurt Angle defeated Balls Mahoney
This match, albeit a contrast of styles, made for an interesting story: The Hardcore Chair Swinging Freak versus The Olympic Gold Medalist. Joey Styles mentioned Mahoney's amateur wrestling background. Angle was able to defend himself against all of Mahoney's chair attacks and eventually throwing it out f the ring after opting to not taking the chance to hit Balls, instead, Angle Slamming the big man, then making him tap to the Ankle Lock.

After the match, Roadkill attacked Angle from behind with an old ECW Tag Team belt.

Backstage: Kelly announced that she'd be showing off all of her "assets" next.

Commercial Break

On a small stage set up by the entrance, Kelly stripped until she was down to her bra and panties. While she was about to take them off, Jazz came out and threw Kelly off the small stage. Security took her away as medics attended to Kelly.

Backstage: Paul Heyman walked into Sabu's locker room. Heyman told Sabu that'd he'd do anything to get him a match against RVD.

Commercial Break

After the commercial, a short chubby guy and said that tonight the ECW fans WILL get to see someone strip, and proceeded to do so! Once he got down to a small banana hammock, The Sandman came down. At first he seemed amused by the entire ordeal even to the point where the chubby guy "pleasured" The Sandman's kendo stick, but he made a small mistake when he took The Sandman's beer and poured it on himself. The sandman hit the guy on the head with the stick and then between the legs.

Commercial Break

Big Show won a #1 contendership Battle Royal by last eliminating Kurt Angle to face Sabu.
(Also involved:The Sandman, Stevie Richards, Al Snow, Balls Mahoney, CW Anderson, Little Guido Maratato, Tony Mamaluke, Justin Credible & Roadkill.)

Angle and Show threw out the most people, leaving The Sandman and Stevie Richards. Sandman and Stevie tried getting the Big Show out, but they realized it might be easier to get Kurt out. The Sandman accidentally caned Stevie, who in turned Stevie kicked The Sandman and threw him out. Then, in a matter of seconds, Angle threw Stevie out, and Big Show threw Angle out.

The ECW World Heavyweight Champion, Sabu, came out while Big Show was celebrating. While they were staring down each other, WWE Champion RVD ran out and laid out both men with a chair.

WWE Champion Rob Van Dam (Robert Alex Szatowski) and ECW Champion Sabu (Terry Michael Brunk) were arrested last night on U.S. Route 52 in Hanging Rock, Ohio at about 10:15 p.m.

According to the OSHP, Szatowski was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found the wrestler in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Brunk was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.

According to the WWE's wellness policy, a drug-related arrest can lead to that talent's immediate dismissal from the company. Being both men are their respective brand's champions, it is uncertain the fate of the WWE Superstars.
