3/1/19: ECW Hardcore Happening #25

Interview:
Armando Alejandro Estrada introduces a new tag team

("Samoa" by Jim Johnston played as the debuting Armando Alejandro Estrada led
Umaga and the returning Yoshihiro Tajiri to the ring.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: All you people wondering what Umaga is doing here in
ECW now have an answer. "The Samoan Bulldozer" and his new tag team partner
"The Japaneze Buzzsaw" Yoshihiro Tajiri are here very simply to inflict pain on
all those who get in their way. We are here right now to openly challenge the
ECW World Tag Team Champions. Briscoe Brothers, Umaga and Tajiri want a match
and they want it at Living Dangerously. There's no place to run, simply accept
the facts as they are presented to you.

("Gimme Back My Bullets" by Lynyrd Skynyrd played as the ECW World Tag Team
Champions The Briscoe Brothers: Jay & Mark Briscoe came to the ring to cheers
from the crowd.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: Good work boys. It's time for you to, how you say,
man up.

(Jay Briscoe shoved Estrada as Umaga stepped in and pummeled Jay Briscoe with a
running clothesline. Tajiri commenced kicking Mark Briscoe in the stomach and
legs. Tajiri dropkicked Mark Briscoe in the face, sending him over the top
rope. Umaga picked Jay Briscoe up off the mat and threw him over the top rope
onto his brother.)

Armando Alejandro Estrada: Nobody touches Armando Alejandro Estrada. Boys, you
are not men. Umaga and Tajiri will prove it to the world when they take your
titles at Living Dangerously.

(Estrada led Umaga & Tajiri out of the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Interview:
Extreme Horsemen interview

("Burn In My Light" by Mercy Drive played as the Extreme Horsemen: Randy Orton,
Rhino, Jerry Lynn and C.W. Anderson came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Randy Orton: UltraClash has come and UltraClash has gone. CM Punk and Samoa Joe
were able to co-exist for one night, but in the end, it didn't make a ounce of
difference. Their team was futile at best and couldn't stand toe to toe with my
Horsemen. CM Punk was pinned by the number one contender, me! Punk, it's not
like I have anything to prove to you as I am the number one contender
regardless, but now, it's one to nothing me. Punk, say what you will, you and I
both know, deep down, the fact that I have strolled into ECW and kicked your
ass kills you. Punk, it's just a matter of time before I plant your face into
the hard canvas and take your title. Punk, you don't have what it takes to
stand in the ring with me and that fact has been proven already. Punk, shine it
up real nice for me, because it's changing hands very soon...you won't even
know what hit you.

(The Extreme Horsemen left the ring to boos from the crowd.)
