"It is 10 PM, do you know where your children are"? Following the public service announcement and the station logo disappears, we go to the end of last week's TV with the former tag team champions, Brad and Bart Batten make a run for it and are backstage when they are stopped by the duo of Damien Kane and Glen Osborne. Kane runs his mouth about the match belonging to him and Osborne who wanted to test themselves against the former champions but had that stolen from them. Well ... not really says the smiling Kane as he and Osborne attack the Battens, brawling with them backstage before the show goes to the Eastern Championship Wrestling logo popping up, right into our opening ... Eastern Championship Wrestling presents: ECW TV 002 Taped Sunday, October 11th at the Aztec Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Aired Saturday, October 24th, 1991 Announcers: Jay Sulli, Stevie Wonderful Referees: Joe Zanolle, John Finnegan & Jim Molineaux Sulli and Wonderful open the program from the Aztec Club on WGBS-TV, Channel 57! - The Matches: 1. Damien Kane & Glen Osborne batter the Batten Twins for an easy victory. 2. Chris Champion superkicks Chad Austin into next week for the win. 3. Omar Atlas suplexed the bigger Kodiak Bear around the ring for the win. He even dropped manager the Cosmic Commander on his turbaned head when the match was over. - The Happenings: 1. Tod Gordon with a pretaped message. He agrees that Johnny Hotbody WAS the champion. Rightful champion? That remains to be seen ... anyway, NEXT WEEK Johnny Hotbody will defend that belt! Jimmy Valiant's BIG MAMA steps in and throws an arm around Tod Gordon. She says she has the perfect opponent for Hotbody ... none other than "The Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant! 2. The first match is brutal as Kane and Osborne are stiff as Hell against the hapless Battens who really don't want to be there. Though heels, Damien Kane and Glen Osborne are both cheered by the fans when the leave the Batten Twins a bloody mess. 3. The New Tag Team Champs, Pondo and Ray Odyssey are ecstatic as they talk backstage with Steve Wonderful who thinks Damien Kane and Glen Osborne should have the belts right now. 4. Taped piece from JT Smith. Short, sweet and to the point - HE WANTS HIS MONEY! 5. Super babyface Chris Champion does not go over so well with the fans as he gets chants of "Pretty Boy" throughout the match and Chad Austin is cheered when he gets in some offense. 6. The ring veteran Atlas gets right to work against the Kodiak Bear, outwrestling him in the early going before going the powergame with several suplex variations. After the match, Atlas catches the Cosmic Commander in the ring and lays him out for his interference during the match.

Marty's got a lot of anger going but is it enough to beat his ex-partner? This is one of those great things about fantasy booking - getting to see things you really never got to see in real life. Looking forward to this, though I have a feeling Marty is not going to like the outcome.

Jimmy Valiant's time in Florida has come to an end as he joins Big Mama in Philadelphia. Change is coming to UWF as far as the roster goes come the new year. Heck of a job with the makeshift roster up to this point.

100,000 and a Caddy sure beats Larry Winters' Ringmaster Rumble! I think all my guys in Philly want a one way ticket to the AWA.

I can imagine what that audience will look like trying to save $2 to get into the show. The Rock & Roll Express coming in makes a very good and deep tag division even better. Oh boy, I've heard those words before - telling someone not to worry as he had it all figured out. Terry Gordy probably rolled his eyes but at least he has his belt. Tommy Rich and Wahoo McDaniel are a decent pair to have at your back. Austin could have done much worse than those two as allies in facing off against Ron Wright's army.

Eastern Championship Wrestling: Drops: Scott Taylor Pick Up: Crash Holly & Ox Baker

"It is 10 PM, do you know where your children are"? Following the public service announcement and the station logo disappears, the Eastern Championship Wrestling logo pops up, right into our opening ... Eastern Championship Wrestling presents: ECW TV 001 Taped Sunday, October 11th at the Aztec Club in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Aired Saturday, October 16th, 1991 Announcers: Jay Sulli, Stevie Wonderful Referees: Joe Zanolle, John Finnegan & Jim Molineaux Sulli and Wonderful open the very first Eastern Championship Wrestling program from the Aztec Club on WGBS-TV, Channel 57! - The Matches: 1. JT Smith wins a Larry Winters' Ringmaster Rumble for the grand prize of $100. 2. The "Boogie Woogie Man" Jimmy Valiant w/Big Mama pummels Don E. Dundee. 3. Surf's Up (Pondo and Ray Odyssey) defeat The Batten Twins to win the ECW Tag Team Belts. - The Happenings: 1. Tod Gordon joins our hosts carrying the ECW Title Belt and talks about a tournament but is interrupted by Johnny Hotbody, takes the title belt from him and thanks him for shining it up and holding it before walking away. Needless to say, Sulli, Wonderful and Gordon are left speechless. 2. Before the first match, Larry Winters joins our hosts to discuss the Ringmaster Rumble and the $100 Prize for the winner. Sulli brings up the fact that Winters bailed on the match and winner JT Smith at a house show a week or so ago which is totally ignored by Winters. Just as it was at the house show, Winters bails before the end of this match, leaving no cash prize for winner JT Smith to claim. 3. The "Boogie Woogie Man" with less of his kissing and grab ass antics and more of what the Philly Faithful want as he beats the Dundee around the ring like a red headed stepchild to pick up the win. Big Mama with loads of attention as she bouncifully walks around the ring during the match. There is a clip during the match of her walking in Slow Motion. 4. A backstage segment with Johnny Hotbody and the title belt over his shoulder. He thanks Tod Gordon for keeping "HIS" belt until it could be reclaimed by the rightful owner. Hotbody explains that he is the "LINEAR CHAMPION" dating back to the beginning of the year during Gordon's first foray into professional wrestling. 5. Speaking of champions, The Batten Twins were brought in to defend the tag belts as they were the champs for Tod's previous ECW. Looking like they wanted to be anywhere BUT here, the Battens all but laid down for Surf's Up. At least we have new champs that want to be here in ECW. 6. Speaking of the former champions, Brad and Bart Batten make a run for it and are backstage when they are stopped by the duo of Damien Kane and Glen Osborne. Kane runs his mouth about the match belonging to him and Osborne who wanted to test themselves against the former champions but had that stolen from them. Well ... not really says the smiling Kane as he and Osborne attack the Battens, brawling with them backstage before the show goes off the air.

You have some really top notch tag teams here in SMW - some of Southern wrestling's best which should keep the title belts on the move a lot as on any given night, any of these teams should be able to bring home the belts. Austin needs someone watching his back.

Eastern Championship Wrestling presents: from Cabrini College Field House Radnor, Pennsylvania Saturday, October 10th, 1991 Announcers: Jay Sully, Stevie Wonderful Referee: Joe Zanolle & Jim Molineaux - House show kicks off with Larry Winters coming out and announcing The Larry Winters’ “Ringmaster Rumble” Battle Royale with the winner getting the grand prize of $100! - JT Smith outlasted Don E. Dundee, CN Redd, Tony Stetson, Glen Osborne, Bobby Starr, Chad Austin and Rich Myers, pinning Tony Stetson to win the Battle Royale. Larry Winters was nowhere to be found with the winner’s money when the match was over! - Surf’s Up (Pondo & Ray Odyssey) beat the Cosmic Commander’s team of The Kodiak Bear and Crybaby Waldo in handy fashion. When it was over, The Kodiak and Waldo got into a shoving match that saw CC roughed up when he tried to step in between them. - The Cheetah Kid won over Jonathan Rotten which saw the masked man take to the air against the mat wrestling Rotten who complained to the referee quite often about Cheetah’s style. -Chris Champion, though outmatched by Hack Myers for much of the match was able to pull out the victory when his superkick caught Myers on the kisser. - Ring veteran Omar Atlas was a suplex highlight reel against The Dundees as he beat Chubby Dudley in a match, then dumped Jamie, Don E. and Sign Guy Dundee all on their heads when they attacked him after the match. The Original Sheik, Damien Kane and Jimmy Valiant with Big Mama battled to a time limit draw in a brutal and bloody battle that saw them fight and bleed all over the Field House. When all said and done, referee Jim Molineaux and the white clad Big Mama were both covered in blood.

That is the plan at least.

Valiant is my Muraco/Snuka stand-in. Doesn't have to be there long but is a known name to get them "over the hump" and Big Mama is "an asset" that most red blooded males like.

We will see what I can do with this character-wise, competing with ecw West. We already have the first of the fill-ins with the Dundees. Who will be next?

Eastern Championship Wrestling presents: from The Original Sports Bar Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Thursday, October 8th, 1991 Announcers: Jay Sully, Stevie Wonderful Referee: Joe Zanolle The dingy Original Sports Bar is the venue for Eastern Championship Wrestling’s first show. Little by way of advertising on short notice minus the poorly printed handbills, the house crowd is packed in and as expected, where the beer is pouring, it is loud and rowdy. Our hosts introduce referee Joe Zanolle who looks more like a gas station attendant in a monkey suit with a bow tie than a wrestling referee. Jay Sully and Stevie Wonderful settle into their positions to announce the show. The first match is an athletic affair with JT Smith beating CN Redd via a moonsault following a healthy dose of technical wrestling. Smith knows his way around a ring and Redd is no slouch either in this highly contested match that sees both men shake hands afterwards. Next up is a very different look with the Kodiak Bear and his turban wearing manager, the Cosmic Commander who roughs up his opponent here, Bobby Starr. Kodiak is a brawler, beating up on Starr inside and outside of the ring. This match shows how ECW is different with allowing wrestlers to battle it outside the ring and no disqualifications for tossing someone over the top rope or using weapons. Tag team action follows with the “Godfather of Pain” Damien Kane and “American Nightmare” Glen Osborne taking on Hack Myers and Chad Austin. Kane goes on a lengthy rant which is booed or used as a bathroom break. Austin is beaten like a red headed stepchild while Myers helps keep his team in the match before he is busted open. Austin is spiked on his head and pinned. After the match, Kane goes on another rant about wanting the Batten Twins and their tag team belts. A small break in the action as Tod Gordon comes out to address the bar patrons and thank them for their patronage. Of course, this goes over like a Leave it to Jimmy Valiant to save the day for Tod Gordon. Jimmy talks about being here in ECW and his usual “Street People” talk before he brings out … BIG Mama! Okay, with this group of drunks, it is probably Big Mama and her "assets" that save the day as well as happen to be the lead in for chants for her to "show them". A quick speech from Jimmy and Big Mama shaking her "groove thing" before we get back to the show! Jimmy and Big Mama head to the ring when the Dundees came out. Jamie Dundee, Don E. Dundee, Chubby Dundee and Sign Guy Dundee surround the ring while Jamie talks about the Dundees NOT being invited to the party. Jimmy motions for them to join him in the ring before Jamie sends in Don E. and we get the bell for our Main Event! It is the usual Jimmy Valiant "grab-ass" tactics to start but once the Philly faithful tire of it and let him know, it is down to brass tacks for the ring vet. A good back and forth match as Don E. with help from his friends shows that he could be a threat but Jimmy comes back each time, ready to let fly with the fists. Big Mama plays a part as well, serving as a distraction pulling in Don E, who gets a little too close, for a "motorboating" which in turn leads to a right cross, a couple of elbow drops after a body slam from Jimmy and a three count for the win. Cheers and catcalls after the match as the celebratory Jimmy and Big Mama head to the back while the Dundees complain to the referee who isn’t listening. The fans boo the Dundees and that is all she wrote to end the show.

Tod Gordon throws his hat back into the squared circle once again as he resurrects Eastern Championship Wrestling one more time following an unsuccessful start back in January of this year. Gordon explained his failure on plans that were too grandiose for a beginner, promising to "do things right" this time around. Reports of the Tag Team Champions, the Batten Twins returning are mixed as they currently wrestle in the Smoky Mountain territory and have no intentions of returning eastward to Philadelphia to defend the belts or work for Tod Gordon ever again. Rumors of the Original Sheik coming to Philadelphia persist but in what capacity is unknown.

After the match, Kitty Karson joins Wayne Stanton. She runs her mouth about Sandy Partlow on hearing a lot of noise from Partlow.

Referee: Dave Gobeil. We get a handshake to kick things off and the Jones Boys take over like a well-oiled machine. Good debut for the Jones as they kick tail despite the commentary by the Sterlings who say otherwise. You would think they were watching a totally different match alltogether based on what they are saying. In the end, Rick and Larry come off a successful debut when Rick launches Larry off the ropes and onto a prone Chip Fletcher for the win. The fans cheer the victorious Jones Boys when both Sterlings hit the ring and the two teams have some words and things look tense as Wayne Stanton puts this one to bed promising to get to the bottom of what is being said in the ring!

Will certainly keep them in mind.
