ECW “November To Remember”
November 1st 1998
From UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans, Arena
Jack Victory is
questioned by Gary Michael Cappeta about his attack on New Jack. Victory says
that he deserved it, only for New Jack to attack and beat on Jack, until
Security pulled him off.
Joey Styles is in the ring, hyping the show, when Terry Funk
emerges from the top of the arena, walks through the crowd, gets in the ring
and calls Joey an asshole, taking the mic. Funk cuts a promo on not being
invited, “Funk U,” calls Tommy Dreamer a “filthy, steaming pile of shit,” he
then gets personal on Dreamer, who eventually comes to the ring. Funk says
Dreamer told him he would call in a time of need and has been practicing a
“double flip for your fans,” he said he would slap Tommy like he own daughter
or wife, throws the microphone at him and leaves in a rage.

The Blue World Order (Super Nova & The Blue
Meanie) vs “Dastardly” Danny Doring & Amish Roadkill
Terry Funk comes down to the ringside area,
with his own camera man, assaulting the ring side attendants and taking over as
the Time Keeper for the match. After Meanie dropped The People’s Leg Drop on
Doring, Funk got on the apron and argued with Meanie, eventually slapping him,
only for Meanie to slap him back and Funk took a bump onto the ringside table,
only to get back up, climb on the table and put himself through it with a back
bump.

Guido, who held up from hitting his partner, only for Rogers to use The
Tomakaze on Smothers, knock Guido to the floor and pin Tracy.
Tracy and Guido argue, with Smothers pushing
Guido down, but Big Don got in between them and then nail Rogers with the flag,
