I thought this was a nice tribute for those that have left us.)

(Sadly, there are more names that could be added to that list over a decade later. They show a video montage featuring Rocco Rock, Terry Gordy, Mike “Crash Holly” Lockwood, The Original Shiek, Mike Lozansky, Pitbull Anthony Durante, and Chris Candido. The announcers talked about the impending invasion of the Raw and Smackdown superstars (the heels) that said they would be there.īackstage, the Pitbull Gary Wolfe said he wanted us to remember some ECW alumni who have passed away. At this point, Storm was more of a trainer for WWE and not wrestling that often.) Nice cameo spot by Justin Credible to help his former partner Storm. It was a smart way to start off the show because the crowd was very familiar with both guys.

(They had a long history together since they got into the business at the same time over a decade before this and were a tag team called the Thrillseekers. Nice ode to history with the Impact Players reuniting for that bit. Storm looked to be in good shape despite not having a match in a while. It was pretty solid for being under ten minutes. He rolls up Storm, he kicks out, Credible cracks Jericho with a Singapore cane and Storm covers for the three count at 7:22.Īnalysis: **3/4 Good way to start off the evening. Jason Knight and Justin Credible come in, Jericho drills them out. Lionsault countered with knees by Storm, Walls of Jericho. Jericho rolls through, goes for the Walls, slingshot into the turnbuckle and a facebuster. Whip in, Storm trips him up and hits his Single Leg Crab. To the top, superplex countered and Jericho hits a back elbow off the top for two. Cradle piledriver countered out by Jericho, then Storm comes back with a superkick for a great two count. Bridging tiger suplex (hooking the arms) for two. Arm drag and an enziguri for Jericho, they counter and Jericho gets two, then Storm gets two with a rollout. Whip into the corner, Storm jumps to the top feet first, comes off and Jericho dropkicks him in the back. Into the turnbuckle, Storm with some chops. Jericho jumps at him, but Storm moves out of the way and Jericho hits the guard rail. Jericho charges in, Jericho avoids it and hits a nice dropkick to the mush, then a baseball slide takes Storm to the floor. They mat wrestle at the start, then come up to a draw position as the crowd chants loudly for their efforts. The announcers talked about how this might be Storm’s last match, but that wasn’t true. Our announcers for the evening are Joey Styles and Mick Foley.Ĭhris Jericho vs. The classic ECW opening theme song and video package aired.
