[1994-04-26-ECW-TV] The Sandman and Tommy Cairo

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Clip of Peaches whipping Sandman with a belt. The Sandman comes back and throws powder in Sal Bellomo's eyes and beats up Tommy Dreamer. Sandman makes a comeback, but Cairo cuts him off, and it's really unclear to me if Sandman is a babyface or heel at this point. Woman shows up and attacks Peaches, and I guess I have my answer. He pulls up Peaches' dress and Woman starts whipping Peaches until Cairo makes another save.

 

We cut back to Joey Styles interviewing Sandman. They hype a mixed tag match at ECW Arena.

Quite the get up by Sandman for his match. Special interest groups getting involved with ECW but the future mixed tag match will still happen.

This was typical ECW Sandman woman beating stuff. Okay, for what it was.

I thought this was pretty bad and showed some logic holes in ECW not knowing their crowd because Style treat Peaches as getting retribution as a crowning achievement but the crowd erupts when Sandman goes after her. Not really interested in the mixed tag match.

Nobody with a gut like that should be calling themselves an "Ironman." Jesus, that was distracting.

 

Anyway, this was kind of ECW-by-numbers, and we've at least reached the point where I can say something like that. Sandman looks pretty much like we expect him to look now. I guess this is Woman's debut, as she helps the Sandman give a belt-lashing to Peaches. The post-match cuts off, but I believe this is leading to the first Singapore Cane Match. Younger viewers are going to be lost as to the significance of that stip but it was a dominant news story of the time.

Pretty lame angle. Tommy Cairo looked fucking pregnant.
