[1995-04-15-ECW-Hostile City Showdown] Shane Douglas vs The Sandman

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Pretty sloppy stuff at times. Woman, who had turned on Sandman for Douglas just a few days before this, turns on Douglas to go back to Sandman here, and Sandman wins the ECW title. He handles all of this by putting on a Monday Night RAW t-shirt.

I'll say it once more and never say it again, Woman during this Sandman era was the hottest woman ever in wrestling. Loved the presentation of the Sandman along with Nancy carrying the Belt.

So Shane wants to go somewhere where he can wrestle huh? Pretty iconic moment for the history of ECW here.

Wait, Woman's with Douglas now? Joey, as the voice of ECW, would you care to explain any of this to new viewers? No? You're just going to sit there silently with your thumb your kiester while the camera focuses in on Woman? Okay then, whatever floats your boat. Woman ends up turning on Douglas and whacks him in the knee with the Singapore cane as he's got a crossface chickenwing locked in, and Douglas falls back and gets his shoulders counted to the mat for 3. Sandman is the new ECW World Champion, as they vainly attempt to get this obvious, I-saw-it-coming-and-didn't-even-know-she-fake-turned swerve over as the shock of the century. Like anyone would be dumb enough to trust Woman or Sandman after the fake blinding. I guess for all the blather, ECW's respect for its audience's intelligence wasn't really any higher than the Big Two's.
