WWE Champion John Cena vs. Rob Van Dam To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Rob Van Dam is cashing in his Money in the Bank championship opportunity at a place where he feels most comfortable - ECW One Night Stand.
John Cena has had his back against the wall many times before, yet he's still managed to walk away with his WWE Championship. Come June 11, however, RVD will have the ultimate home-field advantage when he challenges Cena for the WWE Championship. Van Dam informed The Champ that he would be making his challenge at One Night Stand on the May 22 edition of RAW. Cena was coming off a victory against Chris Masters, but he wasn't as unlucky in his confrontation with RVD as Mr. Money in the Bank leveled him with a Van Daminator.
The following week RVD came out to provide guest commentary during Cena's match against Johnny Nitro. The Champ notched another victory, but after the match he had another intense stare-down with RVD. Nitro came back in the ring, but Cena spotted him and tossed him into Van Dam, knocking him to the outside.
Will Cena once again find a way to defy the odds and remain WWE Champion? Or will Van Dam cash in on his opportunity? Find out at ECW One Night Stand.
World Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Sabu To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
At One Night Stand, fans will finally get to see a match they have been dreaming about for years. As announced by ECW’s Paul Heyman, the suicidal, homicidal, genocidal, death-defying Sabu will go one on one with SmackDown Superstar Rey Mysterio, and it will be for the World Championship.
For ECW legend Sabu, the match will be his first and maybe last opportunity to win WWE gold. Sabu has kept a low profile in recent years, and the lack of exposure may prove to be his greatest advantage. Instead of relying on recent video footage, Mysterio will be forced to rely on memory in preparing his game plan.
For Rey Mysterio, One Night Stand could provide a very unique situation. Rey has always been a fan favorite, so when he enters the ring at Hammerstein Ballroom, the potentially hostile crowd could prove to be a major distraction for the World Champion.
Kurt Angle vs. Randy Orton To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Last week on SmackDown, ECW's Paul Heyman announced that Kurt Angle was issuing an open-challenge for the One Night Stand pay-per-view. According to Heyman, Angle was willing to meet anyone from any brand in a one-on-one match. “Angle means anyone, from anywhere. He doesn’t care if the person’s from a four-sided ring, a six-sided ring or an eight-sided ring.”
Monday night on RAW, that challenge was answered in the form of WWE Superstar Randy Orton. The returning former World Heavyweight Champion snuck up on Angle and delivered a devestating RKO which left Angle face down in the center of the ring.
The Legend Killer had spent the last several months sitting at home, healing a fractured ankle which he suffered at the hands of the Wrestling Machine during the King of the Ring Tournament. Moments after the attack, Orton spoke with WWE.com Unlimited's Todd Grisham to formally accept the challenge. "You think I forgot that Kurt Angle broke my ankle? It took me 60 days to come back and get my payback. If you think this is it, stay tuned, because Kurt Angle, I accept your challenge for One Night Stand."
The Wrestling Machine, who is ECW's newest Superstar has promised to be the face of the new ECW. At One Night Stand, Angle will have his first chance to back up those words when he faces the brash and ****y Orton.
Mick Foley & Edge vs. Terry Funk & Tommy Dreamer To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
After months of battling each other both physically and verbally, Mick Foley and Edge have somehow developed a unique relationship. It was thought that Foley would face Edge in a WrestleMania Hardcore rematch on a recent edition of RAW. Before the match, Foley said he wanted to make it a Triple Threat Match and brought the Innovator of Violence, ECW's Tommy Dreamer, into the match. But just as the match began, Foley turned on Dreamer and double-teamed him with his former nemesis Edge.
The following week, ECW icon Terry Funk tried to talk some sense into Foley. But instead, Foley once again teamed up with Edge and left the Funkey laying in the middle of the ring after a vicious beating.
Then, ont he May 22 edition of RAW, Edge in another Hardcore Match, Foley extolled the virtues of Edge’s hardcore credentials, claiming Edge embodied all that is hardcore, as opposed to the slime from ECW. Foley then awarded the Rated-R Superstar the “un-retired” Hardcore Championship. Edge wouldn’t accept it, however, instead wanting Foley to have it. They looked as if they were going to fight, but the Rated-R Superstar instead had Lilian Garcia announce them as co-holders of the Hardcore Championship.
But then Paul Heyman emerged from the back to break up the love fest, telling Foley that he couldn’t believe the Hardcore Legend prostituted his legacy for a mutual admiration society with Edge & Lita. He then threw out a challenge for the “co-Hardcore Champions” to face any two of what Foley called “the slime that escaped from ECW” at One Night Stand. They initially refused, but after Heyman said that Lita had more balls than them, Edge accepted. The trio then came after Paul, who introduced them to their pay-per-view opponents: Tommy Dreamer & Terry Funk! ECW's hardcore duo attacked Edge & Foley with various weapons, sending the icons scurrying out of the arena.
One week later Foley and Heyman engaged in a verbal face-off. When it was all said and done, new ECW draft pick Kurt Angle stormed the ring and attacked Foley.
There will be no running away at One Night Stand. What will happen when four of the most hardcore Superstars in sports-entertainment history collide at this extreme event? Watch the pay-per-view on June 11 to find out.
Tazz vs. Jerry Lawler To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 20 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
Last week on SmackDown, Tazz addressed weeks of ridicule and taunting from Jerry Lawler regarding both himself, and the ECW brand, and did so in an emotional fashion. Showing the passion and intensity which made him one of the most feared and intimidating World Champions in ECW history, Tazz issued a challenge to Lawler for One Night Stand.
Addressing The King as 'old man', Tazz made a guarentee. "You wanna go on RAW, and you wanna talk junk about ECW and about me not being tough no more...but here's the deal my friend. If you show up at One Night Stand, with god as my witness, I guarantee I will choke you out."
This week on RAW, Lawler responded to Tazz' challenge. "Tazz, for the last 10 years, we've heard you talk about how bad you are. The truth is, the only thing bad about you is your announcing. You say you have one match left in you...Well Tazz, I accept your challenge, and I promise you that One Night Stand will be your last stand."
At One Night Stand, all the talking will stop and the fighting will begin. Both men have had extensive accomplished in-ring careers, but on Sunday night, only one man will can come out victorious.
Super Crazy & Tajiri vs. The F.B.I.
ECW veterans will collide when Super Crazy & Tajiri take on The F.B.I.’s Little Guido & Tony Mamaluke in a special tag team attraction. At last year’s One Night Stand, Super Crazy, Tajiri and Little Guido met in a Three Way Dance that delivered some of the evening’s most memorable moments. Prior to that, Super Crazy, Tajiri and Little Guido had an extensive history in ECW, competing on numerous occasions on some of ECW’s biggest shows.
This year’s One Night Stand also marks the return of Tajiri, who will be making his first major appearance in a U.S. ring since departing for his native Japan several months ago.
