[1999-12-10-ECW-TNN] Steve Corino and Dusty Rhodes

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Corino says as bad as hardcore wrestling is, hardcore music is worse. He says there are a lot of great musicians out there though, like Backstreet Boys, N Sync and Britney Spears. That's *real* music, not something targeted to high school dropouts. He then says Dusty Rhodes is the guy who was stupid enough to start the hardcore revolution. Dusty is in the crowd and Corino tears into him until Dusty finally comes into the ring. Joey begs them to show restraint since this will never make the air since Dusty isn't even with ECW. I love that Corino gets even more heat by neglecting the audience the chance to hear a Dusty promo when he pulls the mic away from him. Dusty finally retaliates with elbows on both Corino and Victory and the crowd loses it.

Their actual match sucked, but this was terrific.

Dusty in ECW just seems right. I liked the match they had but this was the peak of the feud. Also Dusty is wearing a Cleavland Browns shirt. Trying to rep the King I guess.

Corino excoriates hardcore music in addition to hardcore wrestling, then demands Dusty Rhodes leave before he kills another promotion. Sometimes Corino's overly slow talking can get on my nerves, but he's so committed to what he's saying that he makes up for it. He and Victory are having too much fun bumping and selling for the Dream's elbows, with Corino selling the elbow drop in particular like he's being electrocuted.
