Hello, I'm Tanvir Raquib and I guess I'm recapping ECW Hardcore for this week. CRZ doesn't seem to have a weekly Hardcore guy, so I guess I'll step up to the plate during my Spring Break to contribute to the site. I'll accept any gifts, donations and the like from you, Chris. And that goes for the rest of you, too! I also recap WCW Worldwide on the site. It's actually very intellectually stimulating doing the recaps. I usually have to search within the dark recesses of my mind for creativity or just trying to be different from the recappers (or reviewers, if you will) that I've read throughout my couple of years on the Internet. I might not be doing this Hardcore recaps for too long; it depends on my liking to the show and whether I have the desire to recap TWO shows. I do need some form of a life, I think. Anyways, this is your opportunity to jump on the [slash] bandwagon. You think you can recap a Paul Heyman produced show? Do YOU think you can make the show seem more entertaining than the show just by a few typed words on a keyboard? Well submit one, damnit! Anyways, I can't string together a Worldwide Recap this week for some stupid ass reason with my tape. I taped it after Hardcore and now it's not even there. Hey, it's my Spring Break, I might as well live a little, right? My ECW Hardcore Recap (or wow, Tanvir contributes for 2 Weeks In a Row!) Clips of Scotty Anton vs. Rhino and the subsequent Rob Van Dam save from this week's ECW on TNN. Opening Montage featuring: Mikey Burns Money! Fred Durst! RVD! TAZ(z)! After that confrontation with Rhino, Van Dam addresses the fans who chant "RVD!" and "Whole Fucking Show!" Anton sits on the corner Raven-style. He looks a little bummed. Van Dam says that although he can't have 5 star matches, he going to give a shoutout to all the hardcore fans. Van Dam plays to the crowd, while the crowd chants "RVD1" and "Whole Fucking Show!" once more. Van Dam says St.Louis is a kickass town and he appreciates the appreciation. After another sentence of crowd pleasing/ sucking up, "Walk" plays. Van Dam plays to the crowd some more; he claps hands and such. As we see all of this post-interview banter, Joey Styles talks about Van Dam's opponent at Hardcore Heaven, Tajiri turning over the belt at Cyberslam and Dreamer vs. Tazz at Cyberslam. Sell us that damn website, Joey! Joey Styles officially welcomes us. He pretty much says the same thing he said when Van Dam was clapping hands with the crowd just before. Arenan Dates, Plugs for the website, hotline, video game and the ECW Hardcore Heaven 1999 Tape Permeate Our Screen! FBI vs. DANNY DORING and ROADKILL Roadkill gets the biggest pop during the pre-match introduction. Fans chant "Where's my pizza?" and subsequent smartass claps. When's this match beginning? OK, here we go. Guido and Doring to start. Lockup, to the groin, break, Guido with a chop, shoulderblocks and kick. Whip by Guido - reverse - Guido up and over Doring. Guido ducks clothesline and gets a crucifix pin for 2. Both men get up. Doring runs the ropes and ducks the clothesline, he bounces off the other ropes and gets a shoulderblock.

Perhaps they notice the size difference. Big Sal mocks Doring's dance moves. Doring going through a "feeling out" process, as Big Sal goes for a bearhug, Doring ducks, bounces off the ropes and hits a shoulderblock that doesn't faze Big Sal. He just doesn't move at all. He's bigger, ya know. Doring with a clothesline, but Big Sal still ain't moving. Doring runs the ropes, but Big Sal gets a one handed choke. He basically pushes him over to Doring's corner. I think he wants Roadkill to come in. Yup, and so does the crowd. Doring points to Roadkill and tags him in. Big Sal with a confident look on his face. Crowd chants "Fuck him up, Roadkill, Fuck him up!" with the subsequent smartass claps that are restricted for the ECW fan to use. They lockup and Big Sal pushes him down.
