[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Triple threat gets the win in what Joey calls an upset. The action doesn't look all that inspiring and we end Cyberslam with trouble in Camp Fonzie.

Last few minutes. You'd think people would be over table spots after a year or two of them happening on every show, but they still get a big pop. Glad we didn't include this one in full as it's once again a mess. Whoa, Van Dam does a job!

Really putting Douglas over here, kicking out of a number of finishers. Also surprising to see Van Dam do a job.

 

Watching a lot of ECW at the moment, and I'm into '97 - curious to see if there are any hidden gems from '98, because the main event stuff is so far fairly weak, other than Sandman-Sabu.

Just wanted to add that I did find a really solid Candido-Storm match from this same show. Not essential, but very fun, with Storm busting out Candido's top rope power bomb on him.

I'm sorry, who were we supposed to be rooting for here? The Triple Threat who just double-crossed everybody and who are led by the company's #1 heel, or the WWF team who just helped lay out Tommy Dreamer?

I used to love Douglas back in '98. I guess it was because I dug his "shoot" style of addressing the fans, etc. Looking back, he's the shits and that promo style is a snooze fest. So they are building to Living Dangerously with Taz v. Bigelow, RVD v. Scorpio, Sabu v. Sandman, and Snow/Storm v. Douglas/Candido when none of those feuds are progressed by this match. It seemed like it would lead to RVD v. Sabu by the end of it. Typical late 90's ECW crap.
