We go back to the Singapore Cane Match from last week when Tommy Dreamer became a man. A rematch has been signed between the two men and this time it’s an I Quit Match. Woman starts rant at Sandman about how he better not quit on her. She keeps going on and on and Sandman freaks out and says Dreamer is worse then his divorce and it’s time to divorce Dreamer from ECW.

Match starts and we cut away to a Tommy Dreamer promo. Dreamer says he’s going to make Sandman say I quit. Benoit beats on Austin. Austin bails to the floor and seems to argue with Rebel. Back in the ring a snap suplex hits. Benoit hits the ropes but Rebel trips him up. Rebel gets on the apron Austin charges at Benoit but he moves and Rebel and Austin crash. Benoit with a tombstone and top rope head butt gets him the three in 3.35. Austin and Rebel argue and Jason tries to calm things down. Rebel pushes away Jason’s hand.

Malenko is now in Jason’s group. As the ref checks Jason for weapons Malenko attacks and looks on a leg lock. We get the bell and Jason goes to work on the knee of Smith. Smith fights back and goes to send Jason into the ropes. Jason changes the way he is running and goes into the turnbuckle. HAAAHAA idiot.

Highlights from last weeks NWA Tournament. World Champion “The Franchise” Shane Douglas introduces us to his new backup Matt Borne. Borne turns and laughs evilly.

My thoughts on the show
Mikey with another huge upset that makes every one love him more and thats about it. I wonder if Funk really missed his flight or if this was the plan the whole time.
