[Loss]

Talk about it here.

JIP. Raven and Richards keep the titles thanks to interference from the Dudleys.

Joey's "I don't condone domestic violence but this is ECW" was cringe worthy.

We join in as Stevie takes a crazy clothesline off Pitbull 1's shoulders, with Richards and 2 spilling all the way to the floor. Richards eats a chairshot on the floor and then a crazy combination Superbomb/neckbreaker. Beulah breaks up a pin and is about to eat a Superbomb of her own, but Raven heroically makes the save. This is an overbooked clusterfuck but damned if it isn't a fun one, with some clever false finishes. How did the Pitbulls not get a look from either of the Big Two? They look like perfectly serviceable workers for being such roidheads, and it seems like they'd be a better fit than Public Enemy.

ECW World Tag Team Champions Raven & Stevie Richards vs The Pitbulls - ECW Arena 8/26/95

The ECW Arena rematch after the match in Middletown and the 8-Man tag where Cactus turns on Tommy, we get this match. This match starts with Raven getting his shit kicked in. Richards is being a chump and refuses to tag in. This goes on longer than I expected but the result is what I expected, Raven gives him a thwack and throws him to the Dogs of War. Pitbulls feast on Richards. Crazy standing Doomsday Device to Richards. Pitbull #1 jumped pretty high to connect. Insane spot. You know the spot that injured Villano on Nitro (weird fact: I was there live, only Nitro I attended) well the Pitbulls do that spot on Richards only it is from the top rope. Looked gnarly as fuck basically a Ganso Bomb. Raven saves. Raven eats a Superbomb at one point. I think this is when Beulah saves and they are going to Superbomb Beulah. Then there are three nearfalls for Stevie, first when Dudley Dudley interferes then a Raven DDT and finally a Big Dick hotshot on the railing. It sets up Raven Masterpiece Theatre at Gangstas Paradise perfectly as all these moving pieces will fit together in grand fashion. Also I take back anything bad I said about the Pitbulls they are a good power wrestling team, really good offense. Pitbulls vs Steiners would have been good fun. ***1/2
