On Episode 161, JT, Jenny, and Matt head back to the land of extreme to break down the August 11, August 12, and August 18, 2000 episodes of ECW TV. With Justin Credible sitting atop ECW as World Heavyweight Champion, the company continues to push forward through a rapidly changing landscape. Rob Van Dam and Jerry Lynn remain key pieces of the puzzle, Rhino continues to establish himself as one of the most dangerous forces in the promotion, and ECW’s roster battles for position as the summer begins to wind down. JT, Jenny, and Matt dig into all three shows, breaking down the matches, promos, angles, characters, and all of the uniquely ECW insanity along the way. They’ll discuss what’s working, what definitely isn’t, the performers standing out from the pack, and how the promotion is holding up as it moves through the second half of 2000. Plus, the crew hands out their usual grades and awards while continuing to examine the bigger picture of ECW during this fascinating—and increasingly turbulent—final chapter.
