The Buffalo Invasion
The Buffalo Invasion was a professional wrestling live event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) on May 17, 1997. The event was held in the Burt Flickinger Center in Buffalo, New York in the United States. Excerpts from The Buffalo Invasion aired on episode #213 of the syndicated television show ECW Hardcore TV on May 22, 1997, while the event was released on VHS and DVD. Both the main event and the bout between the Dudley Brothers, the Eliminators, and the Gangstas were included on the compilation DVD ECW: Unreleased Vol. 2 released by WWE in 2013.
The Buffalo Invasion was attended by 1,697 people. The announcer for the event was Joey Styles, with guest color commentary from Rick Rude.
The opening bout was a tag team match between the Full Blooded Italians and the Pitbulls. The Pitbulls won by after they delivered an superbomb to Little Guido, enabling Pitbull #2 to pin him.
The second bout was a singles match between Balls Mahoney and Bill Wiles. Mahoney defeated Wiles by pinfall following a chair shot.
The third bout was a singles match between Spike Dudley and Taz. Taz defeated Dudley by submission using the Tazmission.
The fourth bout saw ECW World Television Champion Shane Douglas defend his title against Chris Chetti. After Douglas' valet Francine repeatedly interfered on his behalf, Douglas' rival Rick Rude came to the ring and carried her backstage. Douglas went on to defeat Chetti by pinfall following a belly-to-belly suplex.
In a continuation of the length feud between Raven and Tommy Dreamer, the fifth bout was a "dream partners" tag team match, with Raven picking his former henchman Stevie Richards as his partner and Dreamer picking Terry Funk as his. Raven and Richards, whose relationship had deteriorated in the months leading up to the event, argued with one another throughout the match. Towards the end of the match, a pin attempt on Raven by Dreamer was thwarted by interference from Louie Spicolli, resulting in Dreamer fighting Raven to backstage. As Spicolli attempted to give Funk a Death Valley Driver, Richards gave him a Stevie Kick, knocking both men down and enabling Richards to pin Funk.
The sixth bout saw ECW World Tag Team Champions the Eliminators defend their titles against the Dudley Brothers and the Gangstas in a three-way tag team elimination match. D-Von Dudley teamed with Big Dick Dudley, who was substituting for Buh Buh Ray Dudley who had sustained a broken ankle at Barely Legal. The Gangstas missed the beginning of the match, with the Dudley Brothers fighting the Eliminators for several minutes before they joined the match. The Eliminators won the match after performing Total Elimination on Big Dick Dudley and Mustafa simultaneously, enabling them to pin both men and eliminate both other teams.
