## Resource

The fallout from ECW Heat Wave 2000 continues as Extreme Three Way Dance dives deeper into ECW’s turbulent summer. On Episode 157, JT, Jenny, and Matt break down the July 8, July 14, and July 15, 2000 episodes of ECW TV, as the promotion looks to regain footing while pushing forward into an uncertain future. With Justin Credible still reigning as ECW World Heavyweight Champion, the pressure continues to mount as new challengers emerge and the roster begins to shift. The crew discusses the continued rise of Rhino as a dominant, no-nonsense force, the evolving influence of The Network, and the mix of chaotic brawls, promos, and storyline developments that defined ECW during this stretch. From standout performances to questionable booking decisions, everything is on the table as the hosts break down match quality, segment grades, and the overall direction of ECW in mid-2000. Was ECW ready for Heat Wave… or still searching for its identity in a rapidly changing wrestling landscape? Join us as the Extreme Three Way Dance continues its deep dive through the history of Extreme Championship Wrestling.
