The Gangstas

The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Stevie Richards.

The Gangstas versus D-Von Dudley and Axl Rotten.

Taz versus Little Guido.

You could have guessed that one.

Little Guido, Stevie Richards vs.

Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotten vs. Spike Dudley, The Dudleys vs.

The Gangstas, Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven and Brian Lee, and then Sabu and Chris Candido.

I totally forgot Sabu and Chris Candido were part of ECW at that point.

The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven and Stevie Richards.

You had the Gangstas versus Devon Dudley and Axl Rotten.

Taz versus Little Guido.

And then you also had the Eliminators versus RVD and Sabu.

Stevie Richards versus Balls Mahoney.

Axl Rotten versus Spike Dudley.

The Dudleys versus the Gangstas.

Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Brian Lee.

Sandman and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Stevie Richards.

You had the Gangstas versus D-Von Dudley and Axl Rotten.

Then you had the Eliminators versus Rob Van Dam and Sabu.

Both nights.

Chris Jetty and Little Guido, Stevie Richards, Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotten, Spike Dudley, The Dudleys versus The Gangstas, Terry Funk and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Brian Lee.

Then Sabu and Chris Candido was the last match.

So there was a lot of matches to get, but none of them easy.

"If I were you, I wouldn't take this." He wanted to get me out of there.

But the, the, the thing started with me and Paul with The Gangstas thing, um, where I'd had The Gangstas for a year.

And, you know, I, I came up with the gimmick when I saw them working in, in, in Atlanta for, for Sammy Kent in the little, you know, local promotion there, and I thought, "This New Jack can talk, and Mustafa looks great." It work on both of them.

They were still real green, but, you know, it was topical, the Rodney King beating.

What? Let me know if you fire them?" [laughs] Well, of course I fired them when they stopped showing up.

They went and made the fucking date that they'd been saying they were gonna make for Paul and didn't make the last two weeks of my dates, and Paul lied to me, and then of course I couldn't get him on the phone after that.

And basically it w- you know, I thought, "Okay, he's fucking with me." And that's also where the story came in that I owed the Gangstas money because everybody got paid on the, on the, like the last day of the weekend, right? So in this case, it was a Monday television taping.

On Saturday night in, in Johnson City, Mustafa had not showed up, but New Jack was there, and New Jack said something about, you know, uh, car trouble or what.

But look at who we just mentioned in the same breath as Nine-Four-Six, the nWo and ECW, b- because we're getting certain vibes and certain feels off of them.

I even get a little bit of The Gangstas with Nine-Four-Six.

Now, I know it's obscure, and only a small portion of our audience gets that, but for those who do, you understand what I'm saying.

And, and you said something earlier when the caller brought up Big Cass, and yeah, that right now in this moment, that would be a disastrous decision.

I have never seen Cyberslam '97.

So the matches that took place had Balls Mahoney versus Chris Jetty, had Brian Lee and Chris Candido versus The Pitbulls, Bubba Ray Dudley versus Spike Dudley, The Sandman and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Stevie Richards, The Gangstas versus D-Von Dudley and Axl Rotten, Taz versus Little Guido, The Eliminators versus RVD and Sabu, which also happened at the start of night two.

Chris Jetty versus Little Guido, Stevie Richards versus Balls Mahoney, Axl Rotten versus Spike Dudley, The Dudleys versus The Gangstas, Perry Funk and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Brian Lee, and then Sabu versus Chris Candido.

Jeez.

Yeah.

It's very interesting.

You know why? 'Cause September is when we lost the tag belts in '95 to the Pitbulls, then we had that three-way dance with the Gangstas and Public Enemy.

And 'cause we had beaten...

Had we beat the Pitbulls? Yeah, we came in with the tag belts for three...

Um, WCW offered more money.

They turned down WWF after they hosted them on a dark match, which they lost in fairness, and they went to WCW.

Keep in mind that they were ECW House Party, and they won in their last match in ECW against the Gangstas, and then 10 days later they were on Nitro.

Wow.
