November 6th, Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Portland, OR As the show starts, Joey Styles, Don Callis & ECW Commissioner Tod Gordon are in the ring to kick things off. Gordon assures the ECW faithfuls that there won't be "no conmen running this ship going forward" and he's got solid financial backing that will keep the promotion going for a long time. To start things fresh, Gordon announces that in 3 weeks in Painesville, OH, we will crown new ECW World Tag Team Champions as starting tonight, 5 teams will try to qualify for a 5-Way Elimination Dance in which the winners will be crowned the undisputed ECW World Tag Team Champions. 3 of those matches will happen tonight and those 3 teams will advance to the final match in Painesville, OH. But Gordon says he has talked enough and he promised fans that competition and a solid roster filled with veterans and shining stars and this will start right now with 2 men who consider themselves favorites to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship Match #1 Jay Lethal beat Bill Dundee in 15:37 with Lethal Injection Match #2 Rocky Romero beat Bruce Hart in 21:17 with the Tiger Suplex Match #3 ECW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Qualifier The Backseat Boyz beat Myron Reed & Barry Horowitz (subbing for Sammy Guevara) with a T-Gimmick on Horowitz. In the early moments of the match, Joey Styles mentioned that Sammy Guevara had been attacked backstage prior to the start of the show and Horowitz volunteered to replace. Callis seemed offended when Styles implied this was the work of the Backseat Boyz... Match #4 ECW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Qualifier The Godwinns beat Old School (Steve Corino & Joe Doering, w/Gorgeous George) when Phineas hit Doering with the Slop Drop as Doering got distracted with Henry Godwinn using the bucket to dump its content on Gorgeous George, who tried to distract the referee... Match #5 James Ellsworth beat Connor Blaxton in 15:24 with the No Chin Music. The crowd was all over Ellsworth, who seemed to revel in the hate the crowd was giving him Before the next match, Jeremy Borash comes to the ring to interview veteran Tugboat Taylor, who comes out for his scheduled match up next. Tugboat Taylor says he sees this rebirth of ECW as a chance to do the same for him. People know that he's been teaming up with his son Chaz Taylor in the indies but he came alone for a reason and that's to prove he can still do some damage and be a credible threat in the promotion. This starts tonight. Match #6 Tugboat Taylor beat Villano IV with the Anchor Drop in 10:20 Match #7 Shigehiro Irie beat Hardcore Holly in 9:44 with the Package Piledriver Before the main event, Joey Styles & Don Callis hype next week's show as Sammy Guevara demanded a match with any member of the Backseat Boyz and we'll see the ECW debut of Drew McIntyre as he squares off with Henry Godwinn MAIN EVENT Match #8 ECW World Tag Team Championship Qualifier Guerillas of Destiny beat LAX (w/Konnan) in 25:07 after Tama Tonga threw powder in the face Homicide before hitting the Tongan Twist on him. After the match, an enraged Hernandez attacked G.O.D. and started setting up tables outside the ring. A slew of officials tried to stop Hernandez but Hernandez dispatched of them rather easily. Jay Youngblood makes his way to the ring and tries to reason with Hernandez but Hernandez kicks him in the gut and scoops him up, only to Border Toss him on one table outside the ring! Marty the Moth comes out as well, followed by ECW Commissioner Tod Gordon and as he tries to reason with him, Hernandez has the same reaction. Hernandez sets up Marty for the Border Toss and Gordon warns Hernandez to stop his rampage. Hernandez then gives Gordon the middle finger and lifts up Marty and throws him through the 2nd table outside with the Border Toss! Crowd goes nuts as finally, security can stop Hernandez and escort them out of the arena. What will be the repercussions for Hernandez?

Would make sense since FTR are already defending the titles at the show

RAW almost looks like a killer's row of tag teams but this should be real exciting

As far as I know, WWE released a statement saying that he will be prosecuted and was arrested.

Seems like NWA will possibly end up getting several of those ROH workers. Taven & Bennett are already there, I see that Rhett Titus is working that card too. Who knows how many more will end up there too

You really captured the spirit of AEW really well with that variation of what was Full Gear. Marked out big at Samoa Joe being Jungle Boy & Christian Cage's mystery partner. Looking forward to see what will happen next!

That must be why he tweeted that he needed positive vibes. Doesn't look good then

Survivor Series should be tons of fun. Some very solid matchups in there!

A world where Brodie Lee is still with us? Count me in!

COMING SOON, FIRST SHOW LIVE FROM PORTLAND, OR; THE ECW TAG TEAM TOURNAMENT KICKS OFF! Details to come!

FWIW, in a post-Rampage promo, Tony Khan pretty much teased that Chaos is coming to AEW. And we know that Okada & Ishii are currently in the States...

Gonna take a while to get used to this tag league format for the WWF but I can get used to it!

Yeop. With Fite, once you purchased it, it's yours for life.

I thought that segment was a great demonstration of storytelling through that story arc between Hangman and Omega; we were reminded through the show of the history together with everything that happened between Hangman and The Elite in the past year and Hangman's road to redemption. This segment wasn't about Hangman punching Kenny in the face - he'll have plenty opportunities of doing that at Full Gear. It was about Hangman showing that mentally, he's ready to dethrone Omega and that he's not gonna be an easy target. It was very well played to mention the Ibushi thing because that one line perfectly summed up Omega's attitude as a heel and as a viewer, it made you go like "OK, Omega's in deep trouble now". We're now in that part of a movie where the hero is about to enter the final battle with the villain and everyone - the villain included - knows that it's not gonna end well for him.

I had missed the part about Woods holding out for content as the report I had read only said that other UUDD content creators were not posting content in solidarity for Woods. Thanks for clearing that up.

Correction; it's the other creators on the UUDD channel that are holding out on creating content for the channel in support to Woods until WWE gives him a better deal.

The most powerful thing I read today. And probably for the rest of this week.

Would it risk to ruffle feathers with AAA if they do that?

Loved Adam Cole selling the aftermath of the Con-Chair-To from Wednesday night. For one moment, I thought he was gonna go HBK 1995 on us.

I don't know about Jericho but it felt to me like Amanda was thinking that Kalisto was clout chasing by namedropping Brodie in that tweet. But then again, it's not like Kalisto was the most popular guy backstage in WWE. As far as I know, many feel like the reason he kept his job in WWE for so long was because he's tight with Sasha Banks.

My Quebec bias will speak here but other than Rick Martel, I'd really like for Johnny Rougeau to get in. His significance, not only for professional wrestling but other areas in our province (he was the bodyguard of former Prime Minister René Lévesque and also was the commissioner of the Quebec Junior Major Hockey League - the championship trophy of the league is even named after him) is colossal. He's arguably the most famous name of that historical era here after Yvon Robert.

And unless I'm mistaken, Mox didn't use painkillers and other pills when he had to deal with injuries so self-medicating with alcohol can only carry you so far and lead you to a dangerous place. With that said, it takes a tremendous amount of courage to take that first step and admit having a problem so I applaud Mox for doing that and seeking the help he needs. Also thinking about my fellow Canuck Renee as she has to go through this right now while taking care of her newborn daughter
