November To Remember 1995
.
We start with some Eighties graphics to introduces the PPV with random crowd noise in the background, Joey Styles then runs down the card battling with random crowd muttering, seriously who editted this cra...oh wait I know who editted this and I know how shit the equipment was.
.
Don E Allen vs. The Broadside Bully
Buh Buh Ray Dudley (as it was spelled back in the day) is the special guest ring announcer. Chubby, Dances with, Big Dick, Sign Guy and Bubba Ray join us at ringside. The crowd chant "you both suck dick" at the wrestlers. This is so far beyond ammatuer hour its unbelievable. Ray introduces us to the show. Ray says he's no longer nervous and insecure and no longer does he stutter. He stutters on the lets get ready to Ruh ruh ruh rumble. Bubba is pissed so he attacks Don E Allen giving him a power bomb and he then after a brief brawl he hits the power bomb on the Bully for the win. The crowd chant "what's your name".
Well obviously this was incredibly stupid and total and utter pathetic garbage. (-**)
.
Paul E Dangerously is with us next and he says if you don't mind endulging me "dim the lights". Sabu magically appears to a huge pop and shakes hands with Paul E. We then cut to Joey Styles with possible the lamest promo ever ending with "Oh My Gawd". The crowd chant "thank you" to Paul E. Paul says ECW brings you the return of Sabu. We cut back to Joey who says if you miss this you'll live to regret it. No, no they won't I can assure you Joey.
.
Konnan vs. Jason
Special Guest Referee: Taz
The crowd greet these two with "you both suck dick". Taz says ECW won't give him clearance to wrestle so he here to enforce...Jason cuts him off and calls him a crippled son of bitch and calls him a little Monkey bitch. Taz tells him to keep his fucking hands of him. Taz slugs Jason and rings the bell. Konan scores with a brutal splash mountain bomb into a pin for a fast count and the win.
Ugh? (n/a)

It appears to be the Blue Meanie's debut. Pablo gets a crossbody to the outside to start things off. Marquez then gets a springboard moonsault and a torpedo dropkick on Stevie. Pablo gets a suicide dive on Meanie and Stevie gives Pablo a low blow and a Stevie bomb. The crowd chant "you fat fuck" at Meanie. Stevie gives Pablo a front suplex on the top rope.

.
The Eliminators (w/Jason) vs. The Pitbulls (w/Francine)
God the first tolerable moment of the show comes in the form of Francine in a leather cat suit. Well this hopefully will be the start of the show proper. Saturn and Pit Bull two lock up and draw. Saturn gets an eye poke and a body slam, Pitbull one no sells and gives Saturn a body slam he no sells. Pittbull One is no selling everything and he throws Saturn into the corner and gets the worst flurry you could ever imagine. Pittbull One gets two body slams and an arm wrench and side kick. Pittbull One gets a shoulderblock. Pittbull One gets a drop toe hold and Pit Bull Two gets a flying elbow drop off top. Kronus tags in but walks into a powerslam by Pitbull two.

Kronus then gives Saturn a leg up on a moonsault tope on Pitbull two. Kronus gets a body slam and a front flip leg drop. Kronus gets a back suplex landing ontop of Pitbull two. Jason works on Pittbull two while the referee is distracted. Pittbull Two misses the Stinger splash and bumps to the outside. He cut his arm on that bump. Kronus gets a body slam and Saturn comes in with a flying elbow drop for two. Saturn then scores with a frankenstiener for two. The Eliminators then nail a double fare well. They place Pittbull Two on the top rope and Saturn tries the ranna again but gets a super bomb for two. It breaks down into brawling. Jason runs in with a leg drop. Pittbull One tags in. He unloads lamely. Pittbull One gets a double closeline. Saturn gets a running back elbow Pittbull two. Its degraded into total crap.

Jason eats a military press. Kronus gets a handspring elbow but Two gets a spinning heel kick in the corner and Two gets a closeline. The Superbomb on Kronus ends the match. Post match Jason attmepts to rape Francine and there's a chair beat down as the Eliminators clean house.
Utter crap, more of a collection of moves than a wrestling match, degraded into a mess at the end. Some cool action but mostly rubbish. (*1/2)
.

Rey hits a springboard closeline knock Psychosis to the apron. Rey then gets a cross body off the apron taking both men tumbling into the crowd. Rey then hits a perfect springboard moonsault press into the audience. They then do some garbage brawling through the crowd as Rey hits Psychosis with some lame chair shots and tosses him into the crowd the other side. A girl scrambles to get out of their way. Ray hits Psychosis with a chair. They fight onto a platform and Rey hits a hurricanna off a higher plarform onto the lower platform onto a chair that was really nicely executed for the pin and the win.
Well I've seen that before but I liked it a bit more second time around. Good action and fast paced work from both men, no real selling and I'm not a fan of the death match concept with all the silly pins but there was some nice Lucha work in there mired by some garbage wrestling. (***)
.
Jason has come out to ringside, he says he's never seen anything like that in his entire life and he wants to manage Rey. Jason says he can be his little supreme fighting machine. Rey tries to walk away, Jason calls him a little bitch and he gives Jason a spinning heel kick, a arm drag and a fucked up ranna (that was Jason's fault). The Eliminators come out and give Rey a Slingshot powerbomb. 911 comes to the rescue and with the help of a diving ranna from Rey 911 scores with a double chokeslams the Eliminators. Hot angle after a hot match.

"Please don't go" chant from the crowd at the public enemy. Scorpio says he's gonna give credit where credit is due and he gives Sandman a high five. Scorpio makes fun of Rocco Rock and challenges him to a dance off. Scorpio starts with a little jig, we see Joey dancing backstage and he says cut the camera, haha (those are sarcastic if you couldnt tell) and then Rocco Rock opens up with some body popping. Scoprio body pops back and Rock does some horrible slides and Sandman then bust outs some old school white boy dancing to a chorus of "you guys suck dick". Woman does a lame dance and then the heels jump the faces. THIS WAS POSSIBLE THE MOST CRINGEWORTHY THING I'VE SEEN IN ALONG TIME.
Rocco comes back with a second rope closeline and the Public Enemy clear the ring with closelines and get the crowd dancing to their music. Grunge then cuts an inaudible promo ripping on Woman and the match starts proper.

Bill cuts off and tees up a pan shot but Tod gets a low and nails Alfonso drawing an awesome sell from Alfonso. There's no ref, Taz runs out and counts two then nails Gordon allowing Alfonso to get the win.
Well that went slightly too long but its was a fun fans revenge match. (3/4*)

Taz gets on the mic and he says he's bitter about all the fans not caring when he was injured. He tells the crowd to fuck himself. He rips on Heyman and his parents and then says no one cares about Taz except Bill Alfonso. Alfonso puts money on his table. Taz then decides to rip on the crowd.

Hack Myers vs. Sabu
Sabu misses the dives for the leg as per usual. "Sabu" chant, after a bitch slap he picks the leg and takes Myers down leading to snapmare and a springboard seated leg lariat. Sabu then scores with a DDT and goes for a chair. We then get a chair assisted springboard leg lariat for two. Sabu applies an arm bar, this is possibly the sloppiest arm bar and sell in human history. Hard Irish whip and a springboard leg lariat gets two. Sabu then goes to a side headlock. Stinger Splash from Sabu, Sabut then totally fucks up a back flip and Myers comes back with a powerslam and a diving facebuster like move but Sabu has his feet on the ropes. In my least favorite spot in the world Sabu lays Myers in the middle ropes and Sabu comes off top with a leg drop. Its a bit of "Shah/Shit" action before Sabu goes from an electric chair position to a DDT, that was nice and that gets two. Sabu backflips over a back body drop and Sabu scores with a spinning heel kick and he then lands a plancharanna. Sabu whips Hack into the guard rail and then Sabu follows up with Air Sabu. Myers counters a diving ranna with a powerbomb for two. Myers scores with a standing suplex and heads up top. Sabu catches him and scores with a super victory roll for two.

Sabu then hits a triple Jump front flip plancha through the table. Sabu refuses to win by count out and wants Sabut back in the ring but only gets two. Sabu gets a body slam and the Atomic Arabian Facebuster for the win.
Well very messy and spotty but that's ECW, with the exception of some bizarre arm bars its an impressive return for Sabu and a very suitable one, decent match. (**1/4)
.
Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk vs. Raven & Mick Foley
Mick is wearing his Dungeon of Doom tee and is greeted with a big round of "you both suck dick". Mick challenges Terry to fight outside but of course the heels just slide into the ring. Raven and Foley won't let Dreamer and Funk get in the ring. "Change your Shirt Cactus, Chain Your Shirt" chant. Tommy and Terry charge the ring and a brawl starts the immediately goes to the outside. Terry bitch slaps away at Foley before laying into him with a chair. Funk then throws a chair from the outside to the ring nailing Raven in the back of the head. Funk nails Raven with a sign. Tommy low blows Foley. Tommy and Terry put Stevie in a shopping cart and throw him into the ringpost.

Joey says Dreamer and Taz are best friends so they leave. Dreamer scores with a leaping DDT and then a regular DDT and then a piledriver on a chair and Funk gets the cover for the win.
Well that was an ECW weapons brawl clusterfuck done to the extreme and it was pretty good, had it been the only match on the show of its type it might have been okay. (**3/4)
.
Post match the beatdown continues on both sides with Tommy wrapping barbed wire around Raven's head and Foley brawling up the isle with Funk. Raven then low blowed Dreamer and posed with a barbed wire crown as the show wen toff the air.
.
Overall Thoughts: Well the show got better as it went along but was absolute garbage for the most part. Childish crap that's just embarrsing and sleazy to look back upon. There are two worthwhile matches on the show and there both on vastly superior DVD collections (ECW the story of, ECW's most Extreme matches). Strong Recommendation to stay the fuck away.
