could have been the match of the night. The main event matches were decent. The Terry Gordy match was good. The Shoot fight was underwhelming but still wildly interesting considering the behind the scenes stuff behind it. Sabu vs Van Dam was a really good match too. All in all this show was pretty good and had a lot of great moments. Some of the undercard stuff keeps me from giving it anything higher than an 8, but I would still highly recommend this show if your interested or curious about ECW." Crazy Max staff considered it "Another awesome ECW Arena show here. Top to bottom great action", with "The shoot fight delivered in it’s short time but as a whole storyline was really good". They further added "New TV Champion in Jericho, Dreamer takes a SICK bump and Sabu and Van Dam have another really good match. A must see show!" Wrestling 20 Years Ago staff rated it 6.5 out of 10, with "The superb TV Title match is a must. The opener is a lot of fun. Despite all the issues detailed above, there is much to credit the main event. You also simply have to make time in your life for the brilliance of Stevie Richards. I wouldn't recommend Taz - Paul Varelans for anything other than morbid fascination however..." The Wrestling Revolution staff however gave negative reviews, stating "Overall, a very bad show from ECW. Too many short matches, ultra-long schmozzes, and non-match segments just dragging on for WAY too long." Aftermath Raven and The Sandman continued their intense feud as it grew personal due to Raven occupying Sandman's wife and son and turning them against him. On the 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 at Heat Wave, with the World Heavyweight Championship on the line and the title would change hands if Richards would be pinned. At the event, Sandman pinned Raven and not Richards, therefore Raven retained the title. On the June 25 episode of Hardcore TV, it was announced that Chris Jericho would defend the World Television Championship against former champions Shane Douglas, 2 Cold Scorpio and Pitbull #2 in a four-way dance at Heat Wave, where Douglas won the title. A match was made between The Gangstas and Samoan Gangsta
