04:36my boss and that's a perfect word he's a huge first let's give him his due he's a tremendous
04:40a powerhouse
04:42he took a 250 check up front and a million dollar contract to walk out of ecw and breach his
04:53contract as the champion and the only reason he didn't go down on belt on tv is because of a
04:59federal injunction he's a piece of crap he's a child he's got no loyalty he's a judas he's what
05:05he is and i hope asato tanaka takes his damn head off with the dragon ball uh ladies and
05:11gentlemen we've just seen our second shoot promo of the evening rob van dam followed up by joey

06:24awesome and tanaka traded the ecw world heavyweight championship in late 1999
06:32into 2000 they've had some classic matches let's give them their due
06:37yeah i remember one that happened in nashville at the time while we were on tnn the redneck network
06:42the deliverance channel call it what you will where he has considered you know cultural programming
06:50those are my people and these two also battled over the fmw heavyweight championship in japan
06:58and i apologize for losing my cool and being a professional
07:02i'll call a match clothesline down goes tanaka
07:09michael also now on the outside with masato tanaka this is known as the awesome bomb
07:27easy
07:38oh we have to see this again it's the awesome
07:44one more time
07:57and tanaka kicks out as a guy who's been put to the table let me tell you
08:02that's not the landing you want did not go through the center of the table it remains to be seen
08:08whether tanaka can kick out and return match awesome looking to finish off masato tanaka
08:16for the pile driver tanaka showing great power lands on top of awesome awesome rolls over though
08:21refuses to let go of tanaka and that was just raw power on that awesome bar
08:30we get to spend some of eric bischoff's dirty freaking tainted money on a gym membership
08:35he's got tremendous power and al michaelson looking underneath the ring
08:40oh
08:46he's got a fan in bradshaw that's for sure and he knows how to use a chair
08:53he missed that time
09:10the charm but tanaka is up he's up he gets the boots up he hugs them
09:22he just joined the neck of mike awesome
09:26so
09:48give credit where it's due to mike awesome showing great
09:53oh
09:58it sounds as if you actually have some sympathy for awesome well he is a human being
10:13in the hell did he kick out
10:15it's what we know we call testicular fortitude joey
10:21like him ahead of mike awesome has it in abundance miss with the dang elbow
10:31and he just got speared and good by mike awesome
10:40awesome now steel chair at hand
10:44ascending the turnbuckles all referee jim malino could do is look on
10:50because it's all legal in ecw
10:56the human skull was not made for that kind of punishment very slow to get up
11:10so
11:15mike awesome now sliding a table into the ring
11:20trying to figure out a way to put masato to knock it down and down for a good
11:28table apparently not to mike's liking
11:31you
11:37and the former 70s guy finally having his way with the furniture
11:41is he also a fat chick thriller
11:45i hope he saved that
11:49mike awesome took a lot of time getting that table in the ring and that can only help masato
11:53tanaka and taking a hell of a beating but every every second counts trying to recuperate
12:01as this does not bode well for the former ecw world tag team and world heavyweight
12:07champion masato tanaka as mike awesome is looking for the superplex
12:12yeah
12:28enjoying themselves
12:32well i think grand choice cheering on mike awesome
12:35because mike awesome lifted his leg and whizzed on ecw when he took the payoff
12:42bradshaw's gotta love that man sold his soul for money
12:48sold us all out all of us and our families
12:54and now mike awesome going up top with masato kanaka
12:58oh
13:15are you kidding me how do they keep going my goodness the guts
13:21so
13:30all about myself
13:47so we have officially gotten over the point that that mike awesome sold out we can both
13:51enjoy the match yeah i'm done all right good
13:57mike awesome wants a little more room to work with
14:04what can the Dudleys be thinking you know they've got to have their eye on the monitor thinking
14:09this is their deal tables are their deal
14:22or did he
14:29freaking god
14:47mercifully this match is over
14:50and mike awesome's defense he's a tremendous athlete he's a veteran of some 97 or 98 japanese
15:02tour he was a monster in the world of professional wrestling was made to look like a fool in wcw
15:08they've got to see this again
15:25as i said mike awesome was made to look like a fool
15:29a ninja poop an idiot when they turn him into that 70s guy in wcw
15:33this has got to feel like redemption and it's got to feel good
15:38i think i would have sold out for the type of cash they were throwing it off
15:56mike awesome going outside the ring being helped out and let's take one more look at it
16:01that's the finish
