Sex & Nudity

  • The masked man gives Francine (Francine Fournier) a deep kiss, with her apparently passing out in delight. She thinks it's "Ravishing" Rick Rude, but it turns out to be "Bulldozer" Brian Lee (Brian Harris).
  • The crowd chants "She's a slut! She's a slut!," with Francine having no option but to walk back and forth with her hands over her ears.

Violence & Gore

  • It's a wrestling event, so, standard physical confrontations. The Three=Way-Dance with the Sandman (Jim Fullington)-Terry Funk-Stevie Richards (Michael Manna) match involves barbed wire, the Sandman's Singapore Cane, ladders and other weapons. Terry Funk bleeds a lot.

Profanity

  • How the show starts. The crowd chants "Dudleys suck! Dudleys suck!" and "Fuck you D-Von! Fuck you D-Von!" when the Dudley Boys (Buh Buh Ray (Mark LoMonaco), D-Von (Devon Hughes), Sign Guy (Lou D'angeli) and "The Quintessential Studmuffin" Joel Gertner) interrupt Joey Styles' introduction. While walking to the ring for the opening ECW World Tag Team Championship match between the Dudleys and the Eliminators, John Kronus introduces himself to the PPV audience by randomly saying to the camera, "Ass, baby, ass! Hoo hoo!" Buh Buh Ray yells "Motherfucker!" before hitting a powerbomb. After the match, which the Eliminators (Perry Saturn and John Kronus) won, Gertner gets back in the ring and claims that, according to his "Studmuffin Scoring System," by a score of 84 to 82, the Dudleys were the winners and still the best tag team in the world. The crowd chants "Fuck him up! Fuck him up!" and the Eliminators oblige, hitting Gertner with Total Elimination.
  • Rob Van Dam cuts a promo after the Taz (Peter Senerchia)-Sabu (Terry Brunk) match where he says, "I know you love me, and even those who don't gotta fucking respect me."
  • Shane Douglas tells the crowd, "You don't have to like me and I don't give a shit if you do!"
  • Rick Rude's voice comes over the sound system following the Shane Douglas-Pit Bull #2 (Anthony Durante) match. He says that he'll take off his mask, but Douglas has to "give up the girl" (Francine) or he'll give Douglas "the ass-kicking of a lifetime."

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • The Sandman drinks beer and smokes a cigarette on his way to the ring. He smashes the beer can against his forehead to make himself bleed.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The violence level of the last few matches could be shocking to people who had never seen that kind of match before. As ECW bragged, "It's not for everyone."
