TOMMY DREAMER VS. CODY RHODES, BULLY RAY VS. EC3 AND MORE: COMPLETE HOUSE OF HARDCORE 26 COVERAGE

By Mike Johnson on 2017-05-19 23:15:00

Rhett Titus vs. Bull James vs. Ben Ortiz vs. Pat Buck

They locked up in stereo and then locked up again and then did a quadruple lock up, which I thought was pretty creative.  They did a triple headlock.  Buck went to the top and came off, landing on his feet and putting another headlock.    They switching positions until Buck superkicked Bull.  Bull and Ortiz began shoving each other back and forth.  Everyone ended up on the floor, where Reynolds nailed a flip dive.  There was a "dive" chant after the spot.   Titus tossed Buck into the ring, where he nailed a leaping forearm in the corner and a sideslam for a two count.   James nailed a Doink drop.   Titus superkicked James and covered Buck.  All action.  Lots of stuff going on here.

Your winner, Rhett Titus!

EC3 vs. Bully Ray

CPA from WrestlePro came out and sang EC3's theme song acapella...badly.  EC3 came out with the Duprees.

EC3 said he was the top man in the industry.  He said he was the top guy everywhere.  He said that Bully Ray had the nerve to issue an open challenge.  He said that he's beaten Bully Ray more times than he can remember.  He said his challenge was answered.  Ray came out with a chair and told EC3 to shut the hell up.  He took the mic and said he issued an open challenge to anyone who wanted to accept.  Ray said that tonight's not going to be just a regular old wrestling match.  He said that it seems like people want something a little violent and extreme.      He announced it was a no DQ match.

EC3 attacked him from behind and worked over Bully in the corner.  He whipped Bully into the corner and nailed a running clothesline.  Ray was whipped into the opposite corner. Ray reversed a whip and hiptossed him over.  Ray did a bodypress off the top and everyone yelled "Dive."  EC3 got Bully's chain and used it on him.  He whipped Bully into the ropes and nailed a dropkick.  

EC3 worled over Ray and peppered him with punches in the corner.  Ray fired back with punches but was sent into the corner and hit with a Stinger Splash.   EC3 mimicked Randy Orton by setting up for an RKO.  He ent for it but Ray shoved him into the corner and nailed the Bubba Cutter.  They went back and forth.  Bubba nailed a lariat but CPA climbed to the top to interfere.  Bubba cut him off and tossed him into EC3's netheregions as a play on the Wassup spot.

Bubba called the tables.  The crowd went nuts for this.  Bully was attacked by the Duprees.  Velvet Sky hit the ring for the save.    CPA grabbed Sky.  Ray nailed him.  EC3 rolled up Ray for a two count.   EC3 went to Sky and followed her to the floor.  He followed her to the back but then was shoved back out by Mick Foley, who had him in the Socko Claw.  Foley, walking with a cane, forced him back into the ring and Ray nailed EC3 through the table and pinned him.

Your winner, Bully Ray!

Mick said it was great to be here and said his kids think he's out getting a pizza.  He told Bubba that he's always been a cheap, second rate Cactus Jack knockoff but admitted he was a cheap, second rate Terry Funk knockoff.  He said that as second-rate, cheap knockoffs, they weren't so bad.  He told a story about the last time they were in a ring together.  Foley joked that Tommy Dreamer was someone he would do anything for, including coming ten minutes away from home.  Bully gave a kid in the ring a piece of the table he broke.  Ray led a HOH chant.

Fun stuff with a nice surprise.
