ECW: Raven Interview with Joey Styles: (03.26.96) - Joey Styles in the ECW Arena for the opening and he's joined by ECW champion Raven, Dr. Mark Allen, the Bruise Brothers and of course Kimona Wanaleia. Dr Allen began treating Raven for gout but due to the trauma, Raven's foot looked like "humpty dumpty", he had to put it back together; it took 6 hours and many pins, staples and more to reconstruct the foot. Sandman is out to survey things with Dr. Allen and is in the ring and he says that if he can drink a case of beer before he wrestles, than Raven can wrestle with that foot - Sandman attacked by the Bruise Bros and hten Shane and Tommy come in for the save. Tommy's got Raven in the ring with the figure four leglock. Prime Time Brian Lee is in the ring to make the save for Raven as you know he gonna give Dreamer a beating. Shane Douglas clears Lee out and is soon joined by Sandman as they stand-off against Raven's Nest.
We go to the back and Raven is screaming in pain from his foot after being put in the figure four leglock by Dreamer - Prime Time Brian Lee wants to take care of it, but Raven insists that Sandman, Shane and Dreamer are Raven's to deal with alone.
Raven's music is played several more times, but we go to the back where Dr. Mark Allen is evaluating whether Raven can wrestle tonight. Styles is back and we're not ready for the match yet and its back in the lockerroom and how Brian Lee wants the match and also how Kimona will do anything for Raven, he just needs to ask. Raven says he still loves Beulah and Dreamer will pay.
Finally, Raven is lead out to the ring carried by the Bruise Brothers and accompanied by Brian Lee and Kimona.
Raven & The Bruise Brothers vs. 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas, Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman - Dreamer, Sandman and Shane Douglas all make entrances from various positions in the ECW Arena surrounding Raven. Raven starts directing his flunkies to take them out before they reach the ring. The enemies Raven has created are coming at him at all sides - Stevie Richards is up top by the Sandman who gets him with a vicious chair shot and the other 2 folks are on the way down for this one - while Raven is in the ring directing traffic- this one is all over the place- Sandman being knocked silly by the Fabulous Ones [Meanie and Stevie] - another hole in the Arena as Dreamer gets through. Tommy and the Franchise in the ring. Douglas now picks up the ECW belt as he nails Raven and then the Bruise Brothers. Sandman seems to have vanished in this match. Now, its broken down back in the ring. Apparently, Stevie Richards and Sandman brawling in the back. Douglas tries to put a piece of crutch under Dreamer's shirt but it falls out.
Both Harris Boys beating on Dreamer and they tag in Raven who immediately goes downstairs, then its back as the Bruise Bros. double team Dreamer. Dreamer gets the sunset flip on Don Bruise and the ref is distracted by Raven. Raven in the ring now working on Dreamer, DDT's on chair, but Shane is in to make the save. Dreamer ducks just as it seems the Bruises are going to finish him off, he makes the tag and the Franchise is in and he cleans house of them. Douglas escapes the chair, the first time as he's now battling both of the Bruise Bros. himself but is soon laying almost on the mat being beaten on by Raven, Douglas is out of the ring and now Raven has Dreamer in the ring. Fans now chanting for Sandman, but Brian Lee is back out at ringside working Dreamer over with a chair and those two begin fighting towards the back. There's no undertaking too great for Tommy Dreamer. Beulah looks very worried at ringside - Dreamer and Sandman are gone and Douglas is left to the hands of the Bruise Brothers, Raven and the Blue Meanie.
Raven has Douglas in the ring and gets the piledriver then a DDT on the chair, Franchise kicks out of the big finisher just now as he realizes he's now alone -- Sandman is apparently done with Richards and he returns to the ring as Raven throws Douglas into the chair back first. Douglas not moving in the corner, Raven just punishing him - Shane reaches for a tag, but is too far -- or is he? Sandman is in with the cane and he cleans house of everyone. But outside the ring, this is all over three on three. Dreamer and one of the Bruises in the Bleachers and they go over and down. Now is all of them headed towards the concession stand through the snack table, Dreamer is back with the front door of the Arena which is now in play. Dreamer gets thrown into the door and he looks to be in trouble. Table is set up by us and Raven and Sandman go at it. Douglas is back with a cookie sheet. Back in the ring, Raven gets a chair from the Meanie and he has Dreamer there, but first Tommy goes downstairs and the door is in the ring- Dreamer has Raven up for a piledriver, Tommy gets a 2 count only. Sandman in with the legdrop on Raven and he saves Dreamer. Douglas opts for the pinfall on Raven as he lets Sandman get "posted" by the Bruise Brothers, now the Bruise Brothers work over Douglas and its interesting how Douglas didn't save Sandman, but Sandman saved Dreamer during the end of this. Dreamer, Douglas and Sandman left laying in the ring as Raven and the Bruise Brothers stand over them.
WINNERS: Shane Douglas, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer via Pinfall.
After the match, the Bruises maul Shane & grab Beulah. Each one grabs an arm and holds her wide open. Raven gets up and stands back, getting ready to kick her. Kimona stands in the way to make the save, but Raven smacks her & throws her out of the way. He winds up for the boot & out comes Dreamer to make the save. Raven's army retreats to the dressing room. Afterwards, Dreamer & Franchise argue for a bit, since Shane didn't save Beulah. Dreamer & Beulah leave. Shane grabs the mic & says he was the one who brought ECW to prominence when he was champ & that the belt is worthless now with Raven as champ. He picks up the belt & throws it down & says he wants to be ECW Champion again.
