House Of Hardcore 13 Results From Philly (4/16): Ricky Steamboat, Sean Waltman, Mickie James, More
- Below are results from House of Hardcore 13 tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania:
* Like Friday night, the show opened with everyone out for a Balls Mahoney tribute
* SoCal Val introduced WWE Hall of Famer Ricky Steamboat. He talked about meeting fans at the convention earlier today and praised ECW. He was interrupted by Vik Dalishus, who said he thought Steamboat was dead. This led to Steamboat saying "f–k you!", blocking a punch and chopping Dalishus out of the ring
* Jade defeated Thea Trinidad in a good back and forth match
* Team Tremendous defeated Eddie Kingston and Ben Ortiz in a very entertaining match. Vik Dalishus cut a promo before the match and named Kingston as his replacement
* Billy Gunn defeated Bull James (Bull Dempsey). After the match, Gunn took the mic and gave props to Bull but Kevin Thorn attacked them both. Sean "X-Pac" Waltman made a surprise appearance for a big pop and took Thorn out, then celebrated with Gunn and Bull
* Tony Nese defeated Chris Dickinson and Alex Reynolds in a really good match with action all over the place
* Pepper Parks defeated Tommy Dreamer. Parks had Cherry Bomb and their bodyguard TJ Marconi at ringside. Cherry interfered early on, which led to Dreamer introducing a friend he brought – Mickie James, to a big pop. They both got involved in the finish but a distracted Dreamer was rolled up for the pin
* Brian Cage defeated Sami Callihan (Solomon Crowe) in another really good match
* Pro Wrestling NOAH GHC Tag Team Champions Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Lance Hoyt retained over Chris Hero and Colt Cabana with a double powerbomb on Hero
* Rob Van Dam defeated Rhino in the main event. This was an ECW dream match with Stephen DeAngelis doing the ring announcing and a post-match celebration with Rhino, RVD and The Sandman. The match ended with Rhino going through a table and then RVD hitting the Five Star Frogsplash
