Big Apple Blizzard Blast
Big Apple Blizzard Blast was a professional wrestling live event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on February 3, 1996. The event was held in the Lost Battalion Hall in Queens, New York City, New York in the United States.
Excerpts from Big Apple Blizzard Blast aired on episodes #146 and #147 of the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV, while the event was released on VHS in 1996. It was made available for streaming on the WWE Network in 2020. Excerpts from the event also featured on A Current Affair, which had a film crew at ringside. Three bouts from the event - 2 Cold Scorpio and the Sandman versus the Gangstas; Shane Douglas and Tommy Dreamer versus Raven and Stevie Richards; and Juventud Guerrera versus Rey Misterio Jr. - appeared on the 2012 compilation DVD ECW Loves New York, while the bout between Guerrera and Misterio Jr. also appeared on the 2007 DVD Rey Mysterio – The Biggest Little Man.
The commentator for Big Apple Blizzard Blast was Joey Styles. The ring announcer was Joel Gertner.
In the opening bout, Taz defeated The Shark Attack Kid in a squash using the Tazmission. Following the match, Taz challenged 911 to come to the ring. ECW commissioner Tod Gordon came out instead of 911, resulting in a brawl between Gordon and Taz's manager Bill Alfonso. After Taz attacked Gordon, Bam Bam Bigelow made his surprise debut, chasing away Taz and Alfonso.
The second bout was a tag team match between the Headhunters and Axl Rotten and El Puerto Riqueño. The match ended when one of the Headhunters pinned El Puerto Ricano following a moonsault.
Sure enough, the crowd was hot when I hit the ring with Mikey to defend the belts. [...] We lost the belts that night, and I turned on poor Mikey, who had just wrestled his heart out - further cementing my new image as a sellout and a scumbag. As a matter of fact, I was showered by chants of "You sold out, you sold out" on my way out of the ring.
The third bout saw ECW World Tag Team Champions Cactus Jack and Mikey Whipwreck defend their titles against the Eliminators. The match was marked by dissension between Cactus Jack and Whipwreck, with Cactus Jack - who had signed with the World Wrestling Federation and was facetiously championing hardcore wrestling - repeatedly hindering Whipwreck, including blocking him from applying holds. Whipwreck in turn prevented Cactus Jack from using a broken bottle as a weapon. The match ended when Cactus Jack distracted Whipwreck, enabling the Eliminators to perform Total Elimination on him and pin him. After the match, Cactus Jack turned on Whipwreck, giving him a double arm DDT onto a steel chair.
