ECW Hardcore TV: March 5, 1996

The show opens up showing Brian Pillman beating up a giant pencil. Then we are shown the promos done by Shane Douglas and Tommy Dreamer from last week. They show a bunch of highlights from the Cyber Slam event to promote the sale of the event on VHS.

2 Cold Scorpio defends the ECW World Television Championship against Sabu. Sabu quickly goes for and uses the chair on Scorpio. He sets it up in the ring and springboards off of it onto Scorpio on the floor. He rolls him back into the ring where he pins Scorpio, but only gets two.

Scorpio reverses Sabu's Powerbomb attempt only to give him one of his own. He then gives Sabu a flying leg drop off the top rope and then bulldogs him onto the chair. Scorpio does it again only for Sabu to counter it. He uses the chair on Scorpio and clotheslines him over the top rope. Disqualifca....wait this isn't WCW. Sabu somersaults off the apron onto Scorpio on the floor.

Scorpio hits Sabu with a superkick back into the ring and nails him with the chair. Sabu fights back and puts Scorpio in a camel clutch that Scorpio fights out of. Sabu locks on a sleeper hold only for Scorpio to hit him in the nuts twice!! Scorpio hits him with a pizza pan and a table. He gives Sabu a Superplex but only for two.

Sabu hits Scorpio with a slingshot moonsault. Scorpio goes for a moonsault only to hit Sabu's knees. Scorpio beats him with the chair and then gives him a Tombstone Piledriver. He then hits a top rope splash but only gets two. Scorpio misses a second top rope splash.

Sabu goes up top but Scorpio gives him a top rope Powerbomb into a sunset flip for two. Scorpio then goes to the top only for Sabu to give him a victory roll from the top only for two. Sabu throws Scorpio outside, where he then dives over the top rope onto Scorpio.

Again after both men go over the top rope, Sabu then hits Scorpio with a Moonsault onto the floor. Sabu puts Scorpio onto a table and sets up a chair in the ring where Sabu runs and jumps on the chair and onto Scorpio on the table as both men crash through the table. "E-C-W!" chants are heard all over the arena.

Back in the ring, Scorpio hits Sabu with the chair and only gets two. He sets up Sabu for a Powerbomb only for Sabu to counter it with a Frankensteiner. He hits Scopio with a Moonsault into a cover only for two. He goes for another Moonsault but misses.

Scorpio hits him with a Powerbomb and then a Moonsault into a leg drop for two. He puts a chair on Sabu's face and then hits him with a leg drop off the top rope onto the chair on Sabu's face, but only gets two. Scorpio again goes up top only to be hit in the face by the chair by Sabu. Sabu then gives him a Frankensteiner for two.

A double clothesline knocks both men out. There is only two minutes left in the contest as this is a 30-minute time limit. Scorpio gets up and nails Sabu with the 450 splash but does not go for the cover. He then goes up top again this time with the chair, but missed. One minute remaining in the match.

Sabu then goes for and this the springboard leg drop with the chair to Scorpio's face. There's only 30 seconds left. Sabu then hits a springboard moonsault, but "injures" or really injures his leg and can't go for the cover immediately.

He finally does cover him, but Scorpio kicks out as the bell rings and the time limit expired as the match comes to an end in a draw with Scorpio retaining the TV Title. The match was enjoyable as the fans chant "five more minutes" but will not get them. Sabu receives a standing ovation and then Sabu acknowledges and salutes the fans.

It's Pulp Fiction promo time as The Pitbulls kick it off by announcing they are turning down a title shot with The Eliminators in order to get revenge for Tommy Dreamer and will take on The Bruise Brothers instead.

Missy Hyatt tells The Sandman to end Stevie Richards' career for him trying to sue her. Stevie and The Blue Meanie are dancing. Bubba Ray Dudley then dances and then scares Meanie. Brian Pillman is discussing a contract in a limo with his lawyer.

JT Smith rips on Axl Rotten. The Eliminators say they will do anything to keep their ECW Tag Team Titles. Bill Alfonso yells at the cameraman. Bubba teaches Meanie how to dance. Pillman is sitting naked on his couch, saying that Eric Bischoff has stripped him of everything. However, Pillman is now free and can do whatever he wants. And we are out!!
