THE FILE

Massacre on 34th Street 2000 is a solid late-era ECW pay-per-view that mixes one major championship change with several well-received grudge and tag matches, even though the world-title main event does not fully deliver. The December 3 event draws 2,600 fans to Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City and records a reported 55,000 buy rate. It is the penultimate ECW pay-per-view before the promotion's closure. The explicit Results table contains ten official matches, including two dark matches. The show earns a B+ / 8.2 because the Unholy Alliance tag match, C. W. Anderson versus Tommy Dreamer, and Danny Doring with Roadkill finally winning the tag titles give the card real value.

Read the Full FileContinue the event-level analysis

New Jack defeats Angel in the first dark match, and H. C. Loc defeats Danny Daniels in the second. Neither match has a listed runtime in the Results table, so both are preserved without invented timing or finish detail. Their inclusion brings the official card count to ten.

Christian York and Joey Matthews defeat Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger in 5:38 to win the managerial services of Dawn Marie. York and Matthews hit the Rebel Yell on Swinger for the official victory. After the match, Matthews is hurt and Dawn Marie turns on York, allowing Diamond and Swinger to attack him, but that angle does not reverse or replace the recorded result.

E. Z. Money defeats Balls Mahoney in 7:52 after Hot Commodity overwhelm Mahoney with coordinated interference. The group continues its attack after the bell until Nova makes the save, which immediately leads to the next official match. Because the Results table records Money-Mahoney and Nova-Dinero separately, the Event File preserves them as two distinct bouts.

Nova defeats Julio Dinero in 5:57. Hot Commodity again interferes before Balls Mahoney returns with chair shots to clear the ring. Nova then wins with a high-angle senton bomb, giving the sequence a clear second result after the previous match's post-match attack.

Danny Doring and Roadkill defeat the Full Blooded Italians in 9:01 to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. The stipulation says Doring and Roadkill must split as a team if they fail to win the titles, raising the stakes beyond a normal championship challenge. Roadkill avoids the Kiss of Death and joins Doring for the Buggy Bang, finally giving the long-running team its championship payoff.

C. W. Anderson defeats Tommy Dreamer in 16:47. Anderson wins after delivering an Anderson Spinebuster through a table, but the official Results table records this as a singles match rather than a special tables stipulation. The bout is one of the better-received matches on the card and gives Anderson an important victory over an ECW mainstay.

Rhino defeats Spike Dudley in 9:51 to retain the ECW World Television Championship. Spike attacks Rhino's knee with a steel chair after surviving a Gore, but Rhino eventually chokes him out to retain. The result continues Rhino's dominant final-year title run.

The Unholy Alliance defeats Super Crazy and Kid Kash in 18:24. Super Crazy's mystery partner is revealed during the match when Kash arrives and joins him, so the Event File records the official team of Crazy and Kash rather than treating the reveal as a separate match. Tajiri and Whipwreck win after Tajiri lands a diving double foot stomp on Crazy through a table, producing the night's most widely praised match.

Steve Corino defeats Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible in a 22:51 Three-Way Dance to retain the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Credible eliminates Lynn first after That's Incredible, leaving Credible and Corino to continue. Corino eventually wins with the Old School Expulsion, and Sandman's post-match attack on Jack Victory remains an angle rather than an additional bout.

Massacre on 34th Street earns its B+ because the undercard has more energy than the event's reputation sometimes suggests. Doring and Roadkill's title win supplies a satisfying payoff, Anderson-Dreamer delivers a strong grudge match, and the Unholy Alliance against Crazy and Kash is the clear showstealer. The world-title main event receives more mixed reaction, which keeps the event below ECW's top final-year pay-per-views.

Event ContextBackground, stakes & historical setting

Extreme Championship Wrestling presented Massacre on 34th Street on December 3, 2000 at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City before 2,600 fans. The show recorded a reported 55,000 buy rate and was the penultimate ECW pay-per-view before the promotion's closure. Its name references both the venue's 34th Street location and ECW's earlier Massacre on Queens Boulevard event.

The explicit Results table contains ten official matches, including two dark matches. New Jack defeats Angel, and H. C. Loc defeats Danny Daniels before the pay-per-view portion. Christian York and Joey Matthews then defeat Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger for the managerial services of Dawn Marie.

E. Z. Money defeats Balls Mahoney, followed by Nova defeating Julio Dinero after the two segments connect through Hot Commodity's post-match attack. Danny Doring and Roadkill defeat the Full Blooded Italians to win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Their victory also prevents the team from being forced to split.

C. W. Anderson defeats Tommy Dreamer, and Rhino retains the ECW World Television Championship against Spike Dudley. The Unholy Alliance then defeat Super Crazy and Kid Kash after Kash is revealed as Crazy's mystery partner. The official result remains one tag match with Crazy and Kash as the opposing team.

Steve Corino closes the event by retaining the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible in a Three-Way Dance. Credible eliminates Lynn first, but Corino defeats Credible to retain. The Sandman attacks Jack Victory after the match and steals the championship belt, setting up the promotion's closing stretch.

    MATCH-BY-MATCH ANALYSIS

    The Card, On the Record

    01New Jack def. Angel - Dark MatchC+

    New Jack versus Angel is the first of two dark matches listed in the official Results table. New Jack earns the victory, but no runtime or detailed finish is recorded in the provided material. C+ rewards the recognizable participants, feud continuity involving Da Baldies, and the value of preserving the complete card. The absence of timing and finish detail limits any stronger in-ring evaluation. Because the table labels the bout 1D, it counts as an official match rather than being treated as an unrelated pre-show segment. Its primary importance is completeness and late-era roster context rather than a major storyline development or must-see performance.

    VERDICT

    SKIM - official dark match with limited surviving detail.

    02H. C. Loc def. Danny Daniels - Dark MatchC+

    H. C. Loc versus Danny Daniels is the second dark match on the official card. Loc earns the recorded victory, while no runtime or detailed finish is established in the provided material. C+ rewards a clear result, the presence of two recurring ECW personalities, and the importance of keeping the full ten-match card intact. The lack of timing and match-detail information keeps the grade conservative. Daniels had also been involved in several late-2000 officiating stories, which gives the pairing a small amount of contextual interest. The bout remains secondary viewing material, but it belongs in the Event File because the Results table explicitly lists it as match 2D.

    VERDICT

    SKIM - dark-match completeness more than major event value.

    03The Bad Street Boys def. Simon & Swinger - Dawn Marie's Managerial ServicesB

    Christian York and Joey Matthews face Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger in 5:38 with Dawn Marie's managerial services at stake. York and Matthews hit the Rebel Yell on Swinger and earn the official victory. B rewards the unusual stipulation, fast pace, tag-team familiarity, and clear result. Afterward, Matthews is hurt and Dawn Marie turns on York, leaving him vulnerable to the Problem Solver from Diamond and Swinger. That post-match angle does not reverse the recorded win or create another bout. The match is useful because it advances both the team rivalry and Dawn Marie's alignment, though the short runtime limits its ceiling as a standalone wrestling attraction.

    VERDICT

    SKIM - brisk opener with a meaningful managerial stipulation.

    04E. Z. Money def. Balls MahoneyB+

    E. Z. Money faces Balls Mahoney in 7:52 with the rest of Hot Commodity nearby. Julio Dinero hits Mahoney with a neckbreaker, Chris Hamrick follows with the Confederate Crunch, and Money adds a moonsault before scoring the pin. B+ rewards the active finish, faction involvement, solid runtime, and the significance of Money beating an established ECW name. The heavy interference prevents the result from feeling like a clean singles breakthrough. Hot Commodity continues attacking after the bell until Nova makes the save, which leads to the next official match. Because the Results table separates the bouts, this result remains distinct from Nova versus Dinero.

    VERDICT

    WATCH - energetic Hot Commodity showcase despite heavy interference.

    05Nova def. Julio DineroB

    Nova versus Julio Dinero begins from the aftermath of the preceding Hot Commodity attack and lasts 5:57. Hot Commodity interferes again until Balls Mahoney clears the ring with chair shots, after which Nova wins with a high-angle senton bomb. B rewards the cleanly recorded second result, energetic continuation from the prior segment, Nova's athletic offense, and the clear closing move. The short runtime and repeated outside involvement keep the match from becoming a more substantial singles showcase. Most importantly, the Event File treats it as its own official bout because the Results table gives Nova-Dinero a separate row rather than folding the entire sequence into Money-Mahoney.

    VERDICT

    SKIM - useful continuation with a distinct official result.

    06Danny Doring & Roadkill def. The F.B.I. - ECW World Tag Team ChampionshipA-

    Danny Doring and Roadkill challenge Little Guido and Tony Mamaluke for the ECW World Tag Team Championship in 9:01 with their partnership at stake if they lose. Doring knocks Mamaluke out of the immediate finish sequence, Roadkill escapes Guido's Kiss of Death, and Doring with Roadkill hit the Buggy Bang to win the titles. A- rewards championship stakes, a satisfying long-term payoff, a decisive finish, and the extra consequence of the split-up stipulation. The runtime is modest, but the result matters enormously to ECW's final tag-team history. After months of contention, Doring and Roadkill finally convert their push into a championship victory.

    VERDICT

    WATCH - major tag-title payoff and one of the event's defining moments.

    07C. W. Anderson def. Tommy DreamerA-

    C. W. Anderson versus Tommy Dreamer receives 16:47, making it one of the card's longest non-title matches. Anderson wins after delivering an Anderson Spinebuster to Dreamer through a table. A- rewards substantial runtime, grudge-match intensity, the credibility of both wrestlers, a decisive finish, and the importance of Anderson beating an ECW mainstay. The table spot is part of the match's finish, but the official Results table lists a normal singles match rather than a special tables stipulation. Contemporary reaction identifies the bout as one of the stronger matches on the show, and the victory reinforces Anderson's late-2000 rise. The match's value rests in the feud's escalation more than in technical refinement.

    VERDICT

    WATCH - strong grudge match and a major Anderson victory.

    08Rhino def. Spike Dudley - ECW World Television ChampionshipB

    Rhino defends the ECW World Television Championship against Spike Dudley in 9:51. Rhino knocks Spike out of the ring with a Gore, while Spike later attacks Rhino's knee with a steel chair in an attempt to change the match. Rhino ultimately catches Spike and chokes him out to retain the title. B rewards championship stakes, the contrast between Rhino's power and Spike's resilience, a clear retention, and useful runtime. The match is historically notable for extending Rhino's dominant late-era reign, but it is not among the show's most praised attractions. Its role is straightforward: keep Rhino strong and preserve the Television Championship heading into ECW's final pay-per-view.

    VERDICT

    SKIM - solid title defense that reinforces Rhino's dominance.

    09The Unholy Alliance def. Super Crazy & Kid KashA

    The Unholy Alliance faces Super Crazy and his mystery partner in an 18:24 tag match, with Kid Kash arriving during the bout to fill the announced mystery role. Yoshihiro Tajiri and Mikey Whipwreck win after Tajiri hits a diving double foot stomp on Crazy through a table. A rewards the longest sustained tag-team work on the card, the mystery-partner reveal, four strong workers, creative offense, and the match's reputation as the event's showstealer. Kash's arrival does not create a second match because the Results table records one official tag with Crazy and Kash. This is the clearest must-watch match from Massacre on 34th Street.

    VERDICT

    WATCH - the event's consensus showstealer.

    10Steve Corino def. Jerry Lynn & Justin Credible - ECW World Heavyweight ChampionshipB+

    Steve Corino defends the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible in a 22:51 Three-Way Dance. Credible eliminates Lynn first with That's Incredible, leaving Credible and Corino to continue the match. Corino ultimately hits the Old School Expulsion on Credible and retains the title. B+ rewards world-title stakes, substantial runtime, three major final-year names, clear elimination structure, and Corino's successful defense. The match received more mixed reaction than the best undercard bouts, which limits its grade despite its importance. Sandman's post-match attack on Jack Victory and theft of the championship belt are preserved as storyline aftermath rather than another official contest.

    VERDICT

    WATCH for title chronology, though the undercard produces the stronger match.

    BOOKING VERDICTB+

    Booking Verdict Grade: B+. Massacre on 34th Street gets its best payoff from Danny Doring and Roadkill finally winning the ECW World Tag Team Championship. The added split-up stipulation gives the challenge urgency, and the victory rewards a team that had spent much of 2000 climbing the division. The result feels earned rather than abrupt.

    The card also gives C. W. Anderson a significant win over Tommy Dreamer and keeps Rhino strong as Television Champion. Super Crazy's mystery-partner reveal turns into the long Unholy Alliance match with Kid Kash, while Steve Corino retains the world title against two former champions. Most of the upper card has a clear purpose.

    B+ reflects strong continuity with some overbooking around the lower card and a main event that does not match the best undercard work. Dawn Marie's post-match turn and Hot Commodity's repeated interference add story movement, but they also create clutter. The championship and grudge-match outcomes still leave the event with meaningful consequences.

    CROWD & PRESENTATIONB+

    Crowd & Presentation Grade: B+. Hammerstein Ballroom gives Massacre on 34th Street one of ECW's most recognizable late-era settings. A crowd of 2,600 fills the building, and the venue's location directly inspires the event name. The show therefore feels closely tied to New York and to ECW's identity even as the promotion nears its end.

    The audience has several strong hooks across the night. Doring and Roadkill's title challenge carries a split-up stipulation, Dreamer and Anderson have a personal grudge, and Super Crazy's mystery partner creates anticipation before Kid Kash appears. The tag match that follows becomes the event's most praised attraction.

    B+ reflects a lively building and brisk card more than a polished major-show presentation. The crowd helps the better matches land, but the world-title main event receives mixed reaction and does not provide the strongest finish to the night. The Hammerstein atmosphere remains a clear asset throughout the event.

    HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCEA-

    Historical Significance Grade: A-. Massacre on 34th Street is historically important because Danny Doring and Roadkill win the ECW World Tag Team Championship. Their victory over the Full Blooded Italians is the culmination of a long pursuit and preserves the team because the stipulation would have forced them to split after another loss. The title change is the event's clearest lasting milestone.

    The show is also ECW's penultimate pay-per-view. Only Guilty as Charged remains before the promotion's closure, making the December 3 card part of the company's final major-event sequence. The Hammerstein Ballroom setting further connects the show to ECW's late-period New York identity.

    C. W. Anderson's victory over Tommy Dreamer matters as another major step in Anderson's final-year push. Rhino's successful Television Championship defense against Spike Dudley continues one of ECW's most dominant late-era reigns. The Unholy Alliance's victory over Super Crazy and Kid Kash provides the event's most celebrated in-ring match.

    Steve Corino retaining the ECW World Heavyweight Championship against Jerry Lynn and Justin Credible preserves the title direction established at November to Remember. Credible eliminates Lynn before Corino defeats Credible, keeping all three central to the final weeks. Sandman's post-match theft of the belt keeps another major figure involved without changing the official championship result.

    A- reflects the tag-title change, the penultimate-pay-per-view status, and several meaningful final-year results. The event is not remembered as a defining ECW classic, and the main event receives mixed reviews. Its place in the closing chronology and Doring-Roadkill payoff nevertheless give it substantial historical value.

    WHAT AGED WELL
    • Doring and Roadkill's championship payoff, the Unholy Alliance against Super Crazy and Kid Kash, C. W. Anderson versus Tommy Dreamer, and the Hammerstein setting remain the clearest strengths.
    WHAT AGED POORLY
    • The world-title main event does not match the best undercard work, several finishes rely on interference, and the two dark matches have little surviving detail.
