He then nervously asks his manager Jack Victory if he wants the title, at which point Victory assures him that he doesn’t. He calls former champion Jerry Lynn a cry-baby and says he’ll do whatever he can to retain the title tonight as he’s the “toughest bastard in the locker room”. However, now that he has won the title, he’s sadly reverted back to his smarmy “Jericho Light” gimmick from 1999, as he spends his promo mocking other champions who competed in New York, such as Bruno Sammartino and Pedro Morales. After having numerous of bloody matches on PPV events throughout the year, Corino had actually been able to turn babyface during the summer of 2000, following a previous 18 months of being the hated “Old School Hero”. Things start out with new ECW World Champion Steve Corino, who had won the belt the previous month at the last ever November to Remember. The event is emanating from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, New York on the 3 rd of December 2000Ĭalling the action are Joey Styles and Joel Gertner The one benefit of ECW over any other company is that all the guys and gals were still working super hard, even as Rome was burning around them, so even if some of the matches weren’t great, the energy was usually infectious I’ve always been a big ECW fan, so seeing the company close its doors was not a pleasant experience, but they had least had a few decent matches on their final PPV events before closing the doors. Seeing as we’re in December, I thought I’d look at ECW’s penultimate Pay Per View Event before the company finally bit the dust in February of 2001. Thankfully I do have some shows on DVD that I can review in the meantime, so whenever I can get to somewhere with some internet I’ll upload them as and when I can.
As consequence, I’ve had no access to the WWE Network, and thus haven’t been able to put the list together. If you’ve been wondering where Six of the Best for 90’s Starrcade has been it’s because I’ve recently moved to a new flat and BT are taking a veritable age to set up my internet.
