Pretty much my first ever attempt at a wrestling diary. Forgive my noobyness while you read through it
Not much of a backstory here. I'll take over Paul Heyman as the owner of ECW right at the beginning of the Monday Night Wars.

Shortly after the ECW Hardcore TV theme, the cameras close in on Paul Heyman and his newest acquisition, Steve Austin, currently serving as a color commentator due to his injury, welcoming the crowd to the newest episode of ECW Hardcore TV. The duo waste no time, and Heyman quickly annouces the first fight of the evening: vsToo Cold Scorpio (C) vs. Rey Misterio Jr. | ECW World Television TITLE MATCH | Hardcore In a match that looked promising but in reality was pretty poor, it seemed Misterio had the upper hand until Psicotic entered and hit him with a steel chair when the referee was distracted by the commentator table being too loud. Too Cold Scorpio wastes no time and pins Rey to defend his title. Rey looks at Psicotic with pure hate as he leaves the arena. Misterio gives him the bird and the camera fades out into the crowd. Segment rating: 36 Paul Heyman goes back into the ring to annouce the next fight. It is a fight for the ECW World Heavyweight Title, between The Sandman, and Mikey Whipwreck. vs The Sandman (C) vs. Mikey Whipwreck | ECW World Heavyweight TITLE MATCH | Barbed Wire
The Sandman started the fight aggressively as usual, and Mikey Whipwreck was lost in the first few minutes. However, Whipwreck quickly gained composure, and just as he was about to pull a finisher over The Sandman... CACTUS JACK STORMS IN AND SPEARS WHIPWRECK DOWN! The commentators table goes crazy as Cactus Jack calmly leaves the ring. He shouts at The Sandman: "This is MY TITLE. MINE!"The Sandman appears to be a little shocked but he doesn't care too much at that very moment. He lands a couple of punches on Whipwreck and performs a White Russian Legsweep to seal his fate. Sandman wins, but what does Cactus Jack plan for him?Segment rating: 42 (fight) + 74 (Cactus Jack angle) vs MAIN EVENT Cactus Jack vs Terry Funk | Barbed Wire Bat
Not long after Cactus Jack interfered with Mikey Whipwreck's title shot, he goes into the ring to face an old nemesis, Terry Funk. In a bloody match that involved great moments and some stunts that wouldn't shame a Hollywood movie, Cactus Jack wins after 18:05 with a DDT on Funk, right into the barbed wire bat. The camera fades away, and seals the evening. Segment rating: 59
