Event

Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, Vito LoGrasso defeated Simon Diamond in a match.

Preliminary matches

Before the opening match, Danny Doring proposed to on-screen girlfriend and manager, Angelica. In the opening match, Danny Doring and Amish Roadkill competed against Chris Chetti and Nova. Chetti brought Angelica in the ring to dance with him but Nova confronted him and then Angelica accidentally whacked Chetti with her hand. Chetti then nailed her with an Amityville Horror. Doring tried to attack but Nova nailed a Kryptonite Krunch to Doring and then Chetti hit an Amityville Horror to Roadkill. Chetti and Nova followed it with a Tidal Wave for the win.

Next, Jazz competed against Jason in an intergender match. Jason attempted to deliver a powerbomb to Jazz on a steel chair but Jazz reversed it into a Jazz Stinger on the chair for the win.

Next,

Little Guido. Sal E. Graziano interfered in the match on Guido's behalf but Crazy took him out with a plancha and Guido nailed a Maritado to Crazy but got a near-fall

. Crazy then hit a powerbomb on Guido for the win.

In the following match,

The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) defended the World Tag Team Championship against Spike Dudley and Balls Mahoney. Before the match, the Dudleys unleashed an unscripted rant by throwing in insults towards the live audience and profane words. A woman spit at Buh Buh Ray Dudley's face and nearly incited a riot. Mahoney and Spike almost got the victory by nailing an Acid Drop and a Nutcracker Suite respectively and covered for the pinfall but Sign Guy Dudley pulled the referee out of the ring. Dudleys took advantage by attempting a 3D but Spike and Mahoney reversed it into roll-ups on both Dudleys to win the titles. After the match, Dudleys attacked the new champions and powerbombed Spike through a flaming table. New Jack

then made his return to ECW and attacked Dudleys with weapons from a shopping cart.

Later,

Taz made the save and began the next match in which Taz defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Tajiri. Taz thwarted the interference of Corino, Jack Victory and Rhino and nailed Tajiri through a table with a Tazplex and then applied a Tazmission

to Tajiri by wrapping barbed wire around his neck to retain the title.

Main event match

Van Daminator to Storm and Lynn nailed a cradle piledriver

for the win.

Reception

Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania considered it an average event and gave a score rating of 6.5, writing "As with most ECW Pay-Per-Views, this flew by. Even with the long Dreamer and Dudley promos, something about ECW shows are just fun. The actual wrestling on the show was solid as well. Guido/Crazy and Lynn/RVD are probably the only two matches worth really checking out, but nothing is outright bad. Hell, even Jazz/Jason isn’t terrible."[1]

Scott Keith of 411Mania wrote "There was almost an HOUR of interviews and promos, by my count, which is ridiculous. Other than that, a better than average ECW show, if a totally unremarkable one. It lacked the killer match-stealing show from last year, but then ECW is lacking Tanaka and Awesome right now anyway." He further stated "Thumbs up, but I doubt people will be able to remember the card two months from now."^[2]

Arnold Furious of Wrestling Recaps wrote "Lots of lovely solid action with the opening and closing tag matches being excellent." According to him, the main event match, the opening tag team match and the Super Crazy versus Little Guido match were the best matches of the show.^[3]
