November to Remember 2000: Steve Corino Captures the ECW World Title

Simon Diamond and Johnny Swinger versus Christian York and Joey Matthews opens the pay-per-view in 5:21. C. W. Anderson interferes and helps create the opening for the Problem Solver on York, giving Diamond and Swinger the victory. B rewards the energetic team pairing, clear divisional rivalry, decisive finish, and useful post-match progression. The short runtime and outside interference keep the match from becoming a more substantial showcase. Tommy Dreamer and Kid Kash entering the aftermath are treated as a separate angle rather than part of the official match. The opener does its job efficiently and sets up Kash versus Anderson without confusing the official result.

Kid Kash versus C. W. Anderson follows directly from the opening aftermath and receives 10:47. Kash survives Anderson's power and wins with a tornado DDT, continuing one of ECW's strongest individual breakout years. B+ rewards useful runtime, contrasting styles, crowd interest, Kash's momentum, and a decisive finish over a wrestler who had been moving higher on the card. Anderson remains credible because the matchup is competitive and because his recent wins had established him as a serious opponent. The result strengthens Kash without requiring a title. It is one of the best straightforward singles matches on the show and an easy recommendation for selective viewing.

Danny Doring and Roadkill initially face the three-man Hot Commodity unit before Spike Dudley arrives, turning the developing contest into the official six-man tag recorded in the Results table. Spike, Doring, and Roadkill win in 8:23 after a combination of the Buggy Bang and Acid Drop on Chris Hamrick. B+ rewards the changing match dynamic, team chemistry, clear finish, and useful positioning for Doring and Roadkill. The Event File keeps this as one official six-man tag because that is how the result is recorded. The arrival of Spike is match context rather than a separate bout, preserving the card count at eight.

Nova versus Chris Chetti receives 9:48 and carries a Loser Leaves Town stipulation that gives the former partners a meaningful payoff. Lou E. Dangerously repeatedly interferes on Chetti's behalf, but Nova survives and wins with a Kryptonite Krunch from the top rope. B+ rewards storyline history, clear stakes, a decisive finish, sufficient runtime, and the consequence of forcing Chetti out of ECW. The interference prevents the match from feeling completely clean, yet the stipulation gives the result lasting value. This is one of the better examples on the card of ECW using an established rivalry to produce a concrete final outcome rather than another temporary continuation.

Balls Mahoney and Chilly Willy face Angel and Tony DeVito in a 12:17 Flaming Tables match after weeks of escalating attacks. The stipulation directly reflects the earlier angle in which Da Baldies put Mahoney through a flaming table. Mahoney ultimately powerbombs Angel through a flaming table to earn the victory. B+ rewards feud payoff, a distinctive stipulation, substantial runtime, and a decisive finish. The match is violent and spectacle-driven rather than technically refined, so the analysis treats the dangerous elements neutrally. Its value comes from resolving an established feud with a finish that matches the story rather than from being one of ECW's strongest pure wrestling matches.

Rhino defends the ECW World Television Championship against New Jack in 7:56. New Jack attacks with a guitar, but Rhino withstands the shot and answers with a Gore to retain the title. B+ rewards championship stakes, star power, the unusual opponent pairing, Rhino's dominant presentation, and a clear finish. The short runtime limits the match's ability to develop into a major championship classic, while New Jack's offense keeps the bout rooted in his familiar hardcore style. Historically, the result reinforces Rhino as one of ECW's strongest final-year champions. It also preserves his title momentum as the company heads toward its final sequence of pay-per-views.

The Full Blooded Italians defend the ECW World Tag Team Championship against Mikey Whipwreck and Yoshihiro Tajiri in 15:47, the longest non-main-event match on the card. Whipwreck injures his shoulder after a top-rope Whippersnapper attempt, and returning Super Crazy enters the action as Tajiri's replacement partner. The FBI ultimately retain. A- rewards championship stakes, strong team chemistry, meaningful runtime, Super Crazy's return, and the unusual in-match substitution. The official Results table still identifies Whipwreck and Tajiri as the challenging team, so the structured participants preserve that official pairing. Crazy's involvement is explained as a replacement within the same match rather than counted as a separate contest.

Steve Corino, Justin Credible, Sandman, and defending champion Jerry Lynn meet in a 24:21 Double Jeopardy match for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. At 16:21, Corino pins Sandman after the Old School Expulsion while Credible simultaneously pins Lynn after That's Incredible, eliminating both men. Dawn Marie later turns on Corino, but Corino survives and defeats Credible with an Old School Kick to win the title. A- rewards championship consequence, substantial runtime, the unusual elimination structure, and Corino's breakthrough. The match received mixed critical reaction, so its historical importance exceeds its pure in-ring reputation. Corino's title victory nevertheless makes it essential final-year ECW viewing.
