"It is 10 PM, do you know where your children are"?
Following the public service announcement and the station logo disappears, the Eastern Championship Wrestling logo pops up, right into our opening ...
NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling presents: ECW TV 002
from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Saturday, December 7th, 1993
We fade into the hosts, a suited Jay Sulli and the denim duster wearing Stevie Wonderful, both standing ringside.
Sulli fills us in that TONIGHT begins NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling's coverage of Terror in Tabor. Two big matches on the slate for tonight, first Jimmy Stone, a graduate of Professor Tony Falk's Falk U! takes on Joe College. Two very different backgrounds clash inside the ring ... and in our Main Event, Tommy Cairo takes on the Rockin' Rebel!
Speaking of the Rockin' Rebel, let's go to the videotape ...
Rockin' Rebel: Tommy Cairo? Who the hell wants to talk about Tommy Cairo? Lissen ... I'm going to beat'em 1, 2, 3. That's all I have to say about Tommy Cairo and I'm done with him but if you want to talk, let's talk about the Beach Babe. Her, I got plenty to say about ... all night long.
With the end of message, we come back to ringside and the duo of Sulli and Wonderful. Sulli talks about what both Tommy Cairo and the Sandman might have to say about the Rebel's comments. Wonderful says probably not too much because they's scared ... scared of the Rockin' Rebel! Sulli says that's nonsense. Tommy Cairo isn't scared of anyone ... he's one tough guy! We'll see how tough he is after the Rebel gets his hands on'em!
x-x-x-x COMMERCIAL BREAK x-x-x-x
We come back to Sulli and Wonderful who have been joined by Professor Tony Falk. Falk professes to teach his students the "right way" to do it inside the squared circle. He talks more about the incoming bumper crop of rookies he can't wait to get his hands on.
Joe College versus Jimmy Stone w/Prof. Tony Falk
Joe College doesn't take long in showing who's the heel in this one with a few gestures to the fans. We get right to the action with Stone having his way right from the get-go, showing an amateur style which sends College heading for the outside. While pointing at his head to show that he outsmarted his opponent, College never sees Stone come in from behind. Back in the ring, Stone puts on a wrestling clinic, twisting and turning College all kinds of directions. Commentary from Falk on Stone's background which gets off-track as Falk gets excited over a perfectly executed "Su-play". Some cheapshots from Joe College that has Falk all up in arms which leads to a Falk U! chant from the crowd that puts Stone on the winning track, causing Joe College to submit to a half nelson, hammerlock combo.
With the end of the match, Sulli gets a little ahead of himself by talking about the upcoming Holiday Hell from the ECW Arena right here in Philadelphia. A few comments from Wonderful, making fun of Sulli because there are no matches to announce just yet. Regardless, that's in the future but right now, there's plenty more wrestling action over the coming weeks from Terror in Tabor with the Bon Jovi Boys taking on JC Ice amd Wolfie D of PG-187 and in the Main Event, the Sandman challenges Omar Atlas for the ECW Heavyweight Title! Wonderful reminds Sulli that coming up, "his boy" Rockin' Rebel faces off against Tommy Cairo!
x-x-x-x COMMERCIAL BREAK x-x-x-x
Back to our show, Tommy Cairo has joined our hosts ringside for a little chat before the match. The leather clad Cairo is at ease before his match, greeting fans. When asked about Rebel's comments, Cairo says that no matter how Rebel disrespects him, he'll let his abilities speak for him just like a lot of guys up and down the east coast have already found out, Tommy Cairo ain't a chump. The interview gets no further as Rebel runs out and hammers Cairo from behind!
We get a beatdown and a bloodied Cairo BEFORE the bell is rung! The heelish Rebel flips off the booing fans before getting back to work. Cairo is finally rolled back into the ring and the match is officially underway!
The Rockin' Rebel versus Tommy Cairo
A onesided affair with Rebel's brawling style inside and outside of the ring. Cairo's head gets introduced to the ring steps and this one looks to be over before it barely started BUT Cairo is really a tough guy and slowly but surely starts to fight his way back into the match. An exchange of rights between the two rocks Rebel who is blasted across the ring. In the corner, Cairo climbs the ropes and rains down punches as the fans count them off. Cairo with a handful of Rebel's mullet mimics cutting the hair and Rebel strikes with an eye rake. Big suplex and elbow drop pust Rebel, who seems to be angry, back in control. A bit of a temper tantrum from Rebel but it is shortlived as Cairo "Hulks up" before coming on like gangbusters. Another exchange and the Rebel is reeling. Big back body drop is followed by an elbow drop off the middle rope. Kick out just before a 3 and this one is still on. Forearm uppercut snaps Rebel's head back. With chances to go for the pin, Cairo seems more intent on dishing out soem damage. Suplex out on the floor has Rebel crying out in pain with the smirking Cairo looking to dish out more. Clubbing rights and lefts leads to Rebel trying to get away which in turn leads to Cairo running in to the referee and down he goes. Clothesline nearly takes off Rebel's head but no one to count. With Finnegan down, Cairo goes to town with several suplexes. Camera closeup with Cairo telling whoever is watching not to make him mad ... you wouldn't like him if he gets mad! Ring shaking powerslam and Cairo with the cover ... no count!
Here comes ...
BILL ALFONSO?!?!?!
With a leg hooked, Cairo holds on as Alfonso slaps out a three count for the victory!
Alfonso holds Cairo's arm aloft after the win to the audience's cheer. Not everyone is happy with the victory as the Rockin' Rebel nails Cairo with a low blow. A groggy stomping follows after Alfonso is shoved out of the way. A chair comes into play before the disgusted Rebel blows a snot rocket on the downed Cairo. Threats to the fans as he staggers off, Rockin' Rebel might have lost this one but left the victor bloodied and battered!
Back to our hosts, Jay Sulli says this one is far from over as this ending can't sit well with Tommy Cairo. Maybe not says Wonderful, but today the Rockin' Rebel looks like a million bucks and Tommy Cairo looks like a stuck pig! Sulli says they are out of time ... join them next week right here as the NWA Eastern Championship Wrestling continues it's coverage of the Terror in Tabor!
