• We next saw Francine on the beach wearing about one-half of a very skimpy bikini and looking double fine. Francine warned Tammy Lynn Bytch, who she said was not, and will never be Beulah, that she is going to show her just how hardcore she can be at Hardcore Heaven, ECW's next PPV, May 16, 1999.

• After the ECW opening, Joey Styles was at the announcers position and gave the card for Hardcore Heaven. The main event will be for the ECW Heavyeight Title with Taz meeting Chris Candido. Joey reviewed last weeks attack on Taz by Candido and said now Taz will not just beat him but will kill Candido.

• Back to the beach where Cyrus The Virus was wading and polluting the Atlantic. He talked with Steve Corino, who earned his title by telling Taz, he could beat him without breaking a sweat. Cyrus told Corino that "he now has a lot of heat and balls" after saying that to Taz. He then called Corino the "mastermind" behind Candido's attack on Taz. Corino listened to Cyrus and said he would have handled Taz if it hadn't been for his "appendix problem" and said that's why he had Candido fill in against Taz a few week ago. As he half cried and half whined, Corino called Candido a "trouble maker" and said he really "loves Taz." Cyrus did his best to set Corino up.

• We next saw Judge Jeff Jones in the parking lot of the arena waiting to speak to Taz when he arrived. Taz drove up and Jones approached him. He asked Taz about Candido's attack on him last week. Taz smiled and said that was all part of the game -- that he was training hard and would do his best against Candido at Hardcore Heaven. He said he wasn't angry at Candido had done. Taz was all smiles as he started to walk away. He turned immediately around and applied the TazMission on Jones and told him to tell Candido everything he was feeling at that moment, Candido would feel it ten times as much. Jones tried to plead but was being choked out. Taz showed compassion as he released the hold. Taz then stuffed Jones into the trunk of his car, slammed it shut, left him there, and went into the arena.

• Taz went directly to the ring which was still being set up. The back of his T-shirt was electronically blanked out. As Taz started to talk, a worker who was setting the ring up approached him and told him he needed about ten more minutes and if Taz would go back to his locker room, he would come and get him when the ring was finished. Taz told him he would be only too happy to do that and started to leave. Taz turned around and nailed him with the Heavyweight Title belt, knocking him out cold. He then lifted the worker's head and asked him what he thought about Candido. He answered his own questions with "Wrong Answer" each time and punched the unconscious guy for every "wrong answer." He ended it by telling Candido "Beat me if you can, survive if I let you."

• There was a commercial for the ECW Hotline with a teaser that Rupert Murdoch and the Fox Network had approached Vince McMahon with an offer to buy the WWF.

• Joey said that the main event later in the show would be Justin Credible vs. Jerry "The New F'N Show" Lynn.

• The first match was picked up in progress. It was for the ECW Television Title, pitting Rob "Mr. PPV" Van Dam vs. Bubba Ray Dudley. It was taped in Queens, NY and was the match that was coming to the ring as last week's program ended. D-Von Dudley, Sign Guy Dudley, Joel Gertner, and RVD's manager Bill "Fonzie" Alfonso were at ringside. Bubba punched RVD and followed up with a shoulder block. RVD came back with a victory roll and tried for a pin. He then applied an arm drag and kicked away at Bubba in a corner. Bubba Irish whipped RVD in the far corner, charged it after him, but ate RVD's boot. RVD then hit a monkey flip and went for a drop kick, but got caught in the air and put into a Dudleyville Crab. At this point we went to a commercial. When returning, Buba hit RVD with a piledriver on one of the Tag Team Title belts. He then threw the belt on RVD's prone body. RVD staggered to his feet and Bubba charged him. In a defensive move, RVD ducked and Bubba went over his back, and over the top rope to the floor. Bubba started to get back in but RVD kicked him and he hit the guard rail hard and went over it and into the crowd. RVD then hit one of his patented unreal leaps from the turnbuckle onto Bubba in among the third row fans. The action went back to the ring and RVD nailed Bubba with a bodyslam, followed by a side kick off the top turnbuckle and went for a pin. After Bubba kicked out, RVD kicked him and hit him with a series of punches, a snap mare, a tumbling senton splash, and again tried for a pin. After another series of punches and kicks, Bubba came back with a big fall-a-way slam and after a reversal of an Irish whip, tried for a pin of his own. More punches to the head by Bubba, an elbow to the face, an elbow drop from the middle turnbuckle, more punches, and were followed by Bubba whipping RVD into a corner. Once again Bubba charged in and once again he ate RVD's boot. A chair was thrown to Bubba and RVD went for the VanDaminator but Bubba ducked out of the way. Bubba hit RVD with a driver on the chair stunning him, but he was able to kick out of a pinning attempt. Bubba went to the middle turnbuckle but got caught there and pounded with a series of punches. He then hit a Bubba Bomb off the top turnbuckle and both men were shaken. Bubba recovered first and once more was unsuccessful at a pin. Bubba blasted RVD across the back with the chair and then hit a slam on the chair. He went for but missed a Dudleyville Jam on the chair, that would have surely ended the match had he hit it. RVD took full advantage as he hit the VanDamintor. RVD hit a Five Star Frog Splash for the win. D-Von came into the ring and faced out with RVD. Fonzie came in. RVD and D-Von went at it exchanging punches. RVD kicked D-Von several times. Bubba got up and destroyed RVD with a German suplex It was two-on-one attack and the crowd broke into a chant of "Sabu." Joey said that Sabu would be suspended if he came to the ring. He had been ordered to take time off to allow his fractured jaw time to heal. RVD fought back but got hit with a combo belly to-back suplex and hangman's neck breaker by Bubba and D-Von. Jerry Lynn stormed in and it appeared he was going to help RVD, but turned and nailed RVD with a pair of chair shots to the head. Lance Storm and Justin Credible raced in. There was chaos in the ring. Sabu finally came to the ring and began cleaning house. Fonzie nailed Sign Guy and put him on a table at ringside. Sabu then hit one of his wild leaps over the top rope and put Sign Guy through the table. The action in the ring was wild as there was fighting going on all over. Storm and Credible fought with The Dudley Boyz from the ring out to the floor. Sabu watched them go at it and then leaped onto all four of them off the top turnbuckle. RVD was left alone in the ring. He went to the top turnbuckle and hit an insane somersault plancha onto the pile, which was quite a distance from the ring. That got us an "Oh, my God" from Joey.

• Joey gave us the card for HH again.

• The next match was the main event, pitting Justin Credible, accompanied by Jason and Jazz (I am going to use her name even though Joey keeps playing dumb), vs. Jerry Lynn. Credible took the microphone and told Lynn he had a "flashback" to last summer when he "kicked the crap out of you" and asked that he put up his Television Title shot. Lynn said "I'm the New F'N Show and will punk your ass out like the bitch you are." With that the match got underway. Lynn began fast with a bundle of punches. After an exchange of punches, Credible was sent to the floor and into the guard rail, and then over it to meet the crowd. Lynn launched himself from the ring over the guardrail onto Credible. Back in the ring, Lynn pounded Credible and snapped his neck on the top rope, and again threw him into the guar rail. As Lynn worked Credible over on the floor, Jason got involved and distracted him, allowing Credible to throw him into the guardrail. Jazz came over and got involved. Back in the ring, Credible punched and kicked Lynn and tried for a pin. Credible kept up his offensive and hit an Outsider's Edge-type manuever and again went for a pin. He then threw Lynn to the floor as Jason set up a table from the apron to the guardrail. They put Lynn on the table, but he slipped off before Credible could nail him. They exchanged punches, then Credible hurled Lynn into the guardrail again. Credible landed a long series of chops. Back in the ring Credible hit a snap mare and applied a headlock from behind as he held Lynn on the mat and was able to rest as he did so. Lynn got to his feet and used his elbow to break the hold. He rolled up Credible but couldn't hold him for the pin. Credible came back with a sidewalk slam and went for a pin. He followed with more chops. They both tried for an abdominal stretch that ended up with Lynn tossing Credible over the top rope and through the table set up earlier. As Lynn came off the ropes intending to leap out onto Credible, Jason hit him in the back with the Singapore cane. Credible came back in and was handed a chair. He blasted Lynn with a spike DDT onto the chair and went for a pin. He rolled up Lynn and still couldn't get a pin. Lynn came back with a Power Bomb and he tried for a pin. He followed with a shoulder block and a huracanrana. Jason came in to prevent a pin and Lynn hammered him with an inverted DDT. Jazz came in and hit several kicks to Lynn's face and head. Lynn had enough and decided Jazz was no lady, so he nailed her with a piledriver. Credible got back in the ring with the cane. After smacking Lynn with it, he hit him with an inverted DDT and went for That's Incredible. Lynn blocked it, delivered a Piledriver and pinned Credible for the win. Lance Storm and Tammy Lynn Bytch hit the ring. Storm jumped Lynn. Tommy Dreamer came down and hit Storm with a clothesline and went for a piledriver on Bytch. Storm blocked it and clocked him. He held Dreamer up and Bytch slapped him in the face and embraced Bytch. They left Dreamer in the middle of the ring and hugged Credible as the program ended.
