Heat Wave (1996)
Heat Wave (1996) was the third Heat Wave professional wrestling event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). The event took place on July 13, 1996 from the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.

At A Matter of Respect, Raven defeated The Sandman and Pitbull #2 in a three-way dance to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. At Hardcore Heaven, Raven retained the title against Terry Gordy due to interference by Stevie Richards and then a post-match brawl ensued between Raven's Nest and Gordy, Sandman and Tommy Dreamer. Later at the event, Dreamer defeated Brian Lee in a weapons match. After the match, The Bruise Brothers attacked Dreamer and Lee chokeslammed him from the Eagle's Nest onto three stacked tables in the balcony. On the June 25 episode of Hardcore TV, Richards brought back Sandman's wife Peaches to ECW and Raven had her on side due to Sandman and Peaches' issues in 1994. The following week, on July 2 episode of Hardcore TV, it was announced that Sandman, Dreamer and Gordy would take on Raven, Lee and Richards in a triple fight steel cage match, with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line and the title would change hands if Richards would be pinned. On the July 9 Hardcore TV, Raven also turned Sandman's son Tyler against him.
At A Matter of Respect, Shane Douglas defeated 2 Cold Scorpio to win the World Television Championship. Douglas was scheduled to defend the title against Scorpio at Fight the Power but Scorpio was hospitalized due to fever and then he defeated El Puerto Riqueño, Don E. Allen, Devon Storm and Mikey Whipwreck in a quick succession until he insulted Pitbull #2, who along with a bunch of wrestlers was carrying away the defeated wrestlers. Douglas also insulted Pitbull's valet Francine, who slapped Douglas and he retaliated by hitting her with a belly-to-back suplex. Pitbull then defeated Douglas in an impromptu match to win the title. At Hardcore Heaven, Pitbull #2 lost the title to Chris Jericho. On the June 25 episode of Hardcore TV, it was announced that Jericho would defend the title against former champions 2 Cold Scorpio, Shane Douglas and Pitbull #2 in a four-way dance at Heat Wave.
