Written by: Bob Colling

Extreme Championship Wrestling presents Hardcore TV
Date: 5/23/1995
From: Philadelphia, PA

Matches:
1.) Tazmaniac & 911 defeated The Oriental Connection
2.) Raven & Stevie Richards defeated Tommy Dreamer & Mikey Whipwreck by disqualification

Angle Developments/Notes:
1.) Cactus Jack cuts a promo to open the show. Jack talks about hitting home runs and stopping at second base to write down each time he hit a homer. Cactus recalls a bird stealing his ball and stole something that belonged to him. Cactus says that his father told him to hit to right field but said that wasn’t his way. Cactus talks about a grueling match and when someone told him that nobody cared about him nor about his style. Jack says he has one week to go to prove that he wouldn’t be in a wheelchair when he turned 30. Cactus doesn’t want to take the easy way and he is going to crash his way though the industry.

2.) The matches on the show took place at Enter Sandman, which has been reviewed in full so you can check out those match reviews if you wish.

Final Thoughts:
Nothing much going on here as the promo by Cactus was effective and his uses of analogies continue to be really creative and serves its purpose. I could probably listen to his promos on a loop and not get bored.

Thanks for reading.
