ECW Hardcore TV: February 27, 1996

We open the show recapping last week's episode of ECW Hardcore TV with New Jack in jail and The Bruise Brothers debuting in ECW as friends of Tommy Dreamer only for them to turn on and attack Dreamer and join forces with Raven. Raven explains why the Bruise Brothers would never join forces with Dreamer as Kimona Wanalaya strips for the three men.

ECW Fan Cam Footage shows us Shane Douglas taking on ECW World Heavyweight Champion Raven for the title. Brian Pillman, fresh off his amazing ECW debut last week, was in the stands smoking a cigarette carrying a camera and a press pass. Anyway, Douglas loses to Raven as The Bruise Brothers attack Douglas and Raven DDT's him onto a steel chair.

Axl Rotten takes on former partner JT Smith after Smith turned on him before a tag team match last month. The match starts with the two brawling on the floor with Axl beating the hell out of Smith with various weapons. Smith attacks hat guy outside and takes off his hat.

Former Boxing World Heavyweight Champion Leon Spinks is shown in the crowd. Smith struts around in the ring and grabs a chair. He goes up top and falls, but it's on purpose as when Axl turns his back, Smith gets right back and hits him with the chair. Smith taunts Axl and puts the chair on him and does a moonsault off the top rope onto Axl and the chair.

Shane Douglas takes on Cactus Jack with Joey Styles telling us that ECW brought in Brian Hildebrand to be the referee for the match. He explains that Hildebrand was the third guy that trained with Douglas and Cactus under Dominic DeNucci.

Cactus was wearing a suit with cowboy boots. Douglas ripped the suit off with Cactus wearing a shirt that says "Forgive Me Uncle Eric" as it pertains to Eric Bischoff and WCW as Cactus was teasing joining either WCW or the WWF and renouncing the harcore ways of ECW.

Some fans were chanting "Dean Douglas" and Douglas got on the microphone to yell "Class dismissed asshole!" That was great as it got "Dean is Dead" chants from the audience. They fight outside with Douglas hitting Cactus with a crutch to the balls. Douglas suplexes Cactus onto the railing and goes up top to do a somersault onto Cactus in the front row.

Cactus hits Douglas with a steel chair and then gives him a Drop Toehold onto the chair for two. Jack hits a piledriver for two. Cactus then beats on Douglas in the corner. Brian Hildebrand gives Cactus a pair of handcuffs, only for Douglas to grab them and hit Jack with them.

He then handcuffs Jack's hands behind his hands and Douglas repeatedly hits him with the chair, telling Jack to quit which Cactus refused. Cactus then yells for his former partner Mikey Whipwreck, whom Jack turned on shortly before this, to come out and help him.

Douglas then puts Cactus into the Figure Four as Mikey comes out and looks like he is going to help his former tag team partner, but he hits Cactus with a chair to the face, knocking him out. The referee counted Jack's shoulders down 1-2-3 as Douglas gets the win.

Taz (w/ Bill Alfonso) takes on Joel Hartgood as the crowd chants "Taz is gonna kill you!" Taz easily beats up Hartgood with clotheslines and various Tazplexes before making him tap out to the Tazmission for the victory. After the match, Taz attacks Hartgood and anyone who is trying to help him.

Dino Sendoff, Don E. Allen, and the Dirt Bike Kid run in and all get taken out by Taz and his Tazplexes. Then comes Mikey Whipwreck, who hits Alfonso and then brawls with Taz and even takes him down with a dropkick and a Frankensteiner. However when he goes to the top, he gets hit with a Tazplex and then puts him in the Tazmission.

We get a Pulp Fiction promo with Shane Douglas mocking his Dean Douglas character and telling Cactus Jack to tell Vince McMahon he said hi and then ripped on Brian Pillman, saying he was the real loose cannon when he threw down the NWA belt.

Douglas then mentions how he and Tommy Dreamer have a deal to look after one another and Dreamer comes in at the end to confirm this.
