It's another drunken watch-along as we here at Hardcore Haven say goodbye - along with the ECW Arena faithful - to the Public Enemy. We also say hello to Rob Van Dam (and The Bad Crew in a different tone of voice), watch The Sandman take on Konnan, Sabu take Stevie Richards from pillar to post, Taz squash Hack, 2 Cold take on Mikey in a TV title rematch (the plot thickents), and mostly muse about the possibility of WWE selling to a big Saudi conglomerate (now you know what night we recorded this one, eh?). In the tradition of the House Party movies, this one might not have needed to be revisited - but revisit it we did! Farewell champs!

While the ECW is invading New York and positioning themselves for an historic 1996, the WWF is unveiling the New Generation with a Royal Rumble full of... well, the old gen! Watch along with us as and guest James Avramenko as Bret Hart and The Undertaker have the slowest match ever, Goldust and Scott Hall grapple over the IC belt, Double J gives Ahmed Johnson 6 minutes he'll never forget, and we talk about ABBA, incels, CPTSD, tight outfits, and how every tag team has a freak in it.

For the first time ever, the ECW is in New York F*****' City! We've got more highlights of Holiday Hell from the Lost Battalion Hall than we really needed! Missy Hyatt lays the smack down, of sorts; 2 cold and Mikey underestimate each other; Taz has a whole new attitude; The Gangstas return to usher The Public Enemy outta here; Bruiser Mastino (fka Mantaur) is one and done; all this plus a shallow dive into the mumming tradition.

It's the ECW invasion of New York! Well, Rego Park, at least, in Queens. It's the ECW invasion of Queens! Witness: the debuts of The Blue Meanie, Missy Hyatt, and ...Bruiser Mastino (fka Mantaur); the bloody return of the Gangstas; a couple total slogs, let's be honest, go figure; a surprising title change (or two?). This one almost broke us. Please send help. Featuring: superstar musician Ellen Froese (for the first 20 minutes until she'd had enough).

There was an elaborate plan hatched. Luke and Brendan would be able to record from the same location over the holidays! It would be a holiday special! It would also be a review of the holiday episodes of ECW from 1995 ...so everything would turn out great.

Turns out reconfiguring our recording setup after all this time caused technical problems. Also? The holidays are a very busy time and it's hard to get things done when you hit these kinds of snags.

After all of that, we present to you... only two weeks late! HARDCORE FOR THE HOLIDAYS

The Public Enemy skip out for the big time...or do they? Steve Austin ain't so stunning! Taz doesn't suplex, he perplex(es)! Luke's Aunt gives the New York thing a shot! All this and a whole lot more. Please listen to this or we will be sad.
