[2000-10-15-ECW-Hardcore TV] Simon Diamond & Chris Chetti vs Christian York & Joey Matthews

[soup23]

With Swinger on the shelf, Diamond announces his new partner, Chris Chetti. They run a bit of an angle of Chetti and Diamond not getting along which is odd. York and Matthews continue to be serviceable as the white meat babyface tag without being spectacular or look like they really have much breakout potential IMO. Chetti and Diamond argue allowing the hot tag to be made. Chetti ends up bolting and York/Matthews get the pin. Nova wants a piece of Chetti after the match and is in some horrible shiny red gear. Lou E Dangerously is acting like security and he knocks Nova out. **

Simon has a problem, doesn’t he always?  Haha, Joey Styles must’ve been reading my mind!  Johnny Swinger is unable to wrestle tonight after having surgery on his orbital so Simon has been looking for a replacement; someone who has the same blue chip athletic ability as himself, someone who has the same clean cut All-American boy good looks, and there is no-one in the ECW locker room that fits that criteria better than Chris Chetti.  Does Styles ever not mention Chetti being a graduate of the House of Hardcore training school and being a cousin of Tazz?  Chetti refuses to shake the hand of Simon and it’s not long before they’re arguing amongst themselves.  The action makes its way out to the arena floor and York and Matthews with stereo stage dives off the stage.  Simon blocks being whipped into the guard rail, grabs York by the hair and then slams him backwards into it instead.  Nice superkick by Chetti to Matthews.  The dissension between Simon and he continues as they both tag themselves into the ring against their partner’s wishes.  After a delayed vertical suplex Simon again tags himself in, stealing a pin which Chetti breaks up himself.  Matthews counters the double backdrop with a double DDT and makes the hot tag.  ‘Future Shock’ on Simon and Chetti has seen enough, leaving Simon to it.  All alone he’s easy pickings as the top rope rana/flying elbow combo gives York and Matthews the win.  Chetti hasn’t made his way back to the dressing room yet, still loitering in the aisle, and gets jumped from behind by Nova.  It looks like security manage to separate the two and calm the situation, when one of the personnel reveals himself to be Lou E. Dangerously who clocks Nova over the head with his oversized phone.
