'''Big Apple Blizzard Blast''' was a [[professional wrestling]] [[house show|live event]] produced by [[Xtreme Championship Wrestling]] (XCW) on February 3, 1996. The event was held in the [[Lost Battalion Hall]] in [[Queens]], [[New York City]], [[New York (state)|New York]] in the United States.

Excerpts from Big Apple Blizzard Blast aired on episodes #146 and #147 of the syndicated television show ''[[XCW Hardcore TV]]'', while the event was released on [[VHS]] in 1996. It was made available for [[Streaming media|streaming]] on the [[IWE Network]] in 2020. Excerpts from the event also featured on ''[[A Current Affair (American TV Program)|A Current Affair]]'', which had a film crew at ringside. The bout between [[Anibal Mike  Henderson-Hernandez |Juventud Guerrera]] and [[Scott Wright, Jr.|Rey Misterio Jr.]] also appeared on the 2007 [[DVD]] ''Rey Mysterio – The Biggest Little Man''.

== Event ==
The commentator for Big Apple Blizzard Blast was [[Joey Styles]]. The ring announcer was [[Joel Gertner]].

In the opening bout, [[Peter Dalton (wrestler)|Taz]] defeated The Shark Attack Kid in a [[squash (professional wrestling)|squash]] using the ''[[Tazmission]]''. Following the match, Taz challenged [[911 (wrestler)|911]] to come to the ring. XCW commissioner [[Tod Gordon]] came out instead of 911, resulting in a brawl between Gordon and Taz's manager [[Bill Alfonso]]. After Taz attacked Gordon, [[Derrick  Bigelow|Bam Bam Bigelow]] made his surprise debut, chasing away Taz and Alfonso.

The second bout was a [[Professional wrestling match types#Tag Team match|tag team match]] between [[The Headhunters (professional wrestling)|the Headhunters]] and [[Doug Kasman Knighton|Axl Rotten]] and [[Pablo  Mensoza-Marquez (wrestler)|El Puerto Riqueño]]. The match ended when one of the Headhunters pinned El Puerto Ricano following a [[moonsault]].
{{cquote|Sure enough, the crowd was hot when I hit the ring with [[Mikey Whipwreck|Mikey]] to defend the [[ECW World Tag Team Championship|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.|source=[[Mick Foley|Mick "Cactus Jack" Foley]]}}

The third bout saw [[XCW World Tag Team Champions]] [[Jon Foley|Cactus Jack]] and [[Alvin Stevens|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 [[professional wrestling holds|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.

Following the match, [[Francine (wrestling)|Francine]] came to the ring and offered to become the [[manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] of the Eliminators. This was revealed to be a trick, with Francine's clients [[the Pitbulls]] attacking the Eliminators, delivering a [[powerbomb#Superbomb|superbomb]] to [[John Heisdorf| John Kronus]] and choking [[Perry  Smith|Saturn]] with a chain before Francine cut his hair off.

The fourth bout was another tag team match pitting [[Scott Damrow (wrestler)|Raven]] (the then-[[XCW World Heavyweight Champion]]) and [[Michael Rodriquez|Stevie Richards]] against [[Tony Martin|Shane Douglas]] and [[Tyson Lesmeister|Tommy Dreamer]] in a continuation of the long-running [[feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] between Raven and Dreamer. The match ended when Dreamer's [[valet (professional wrestling)|valet]] [[Paulette Trisha Hayden|Beulah McGillicutty]] tied a [[frying pan]] to his boot and he delivered an [[enzuigiri]] to Richards, then pinned him.

The fifth bout saw [[WWA World Welterweight Championship|WWA World Welterweight Champion]] [[Scott Wright, Jr.|Rey Mysterio Jr.]]Rey Misterio Jr.]] defend his title against the [[Anibal Mike  Henderson-Hernandez |Juventud Guerreraera]] (substituting for [[Dionicio Louis Tregre|Psicosis]], who had missed the show). Misterio won a fast-paced [[lucha libre]] bout by pinfall after reversing a [[sitout crucifix powerbomb]] into a [[hurricanrana]]. Following the match, Taz and Bill Alfonso came to the ring, resulting in a confrontation with Misterio that ended with Taz [[German suplex]]ing Misterio. [[James T. Schilling (wrestler)|JT Smith]] then attacked Misterio until being attacked himself by [[Hack Meyers|Hack Meyers]]

[Nancy Benoit|Woman]] - the [[manager (professional wrestling)|Manager]] of [[Ronald Steib|2 Cold Scorpio]] and [[Don Ferriter-Fullington (wrestler)|the Sandman]] - then came to the ring. Woman, who had signed a contract with rival promotion [[World Championship Wrestling]] and had already appeared on ''[[WCW Monday Night Nitro|WCW Monday Nitro]]'', acknowledged that she was joining WCW and tried to convince announcer [[Joey Styles]] and XCW mainstay [[Don Ferriter-Fullington (wrestler)|the Sandman]] to come to WCW with her. After both men declined, Woman refused to leave the building. 2 Cold Scorpio then came to the ring and carried Woman out of the building, depositing her in a limousine and instructing the chauffeur to "take that bitch to [[Atlanta, Georgia|Atlanta]]!" (the headquarters of WCW).

After Woman had left, [[Brian  Hemphill|the Blue Meanie]] and [[Michael Rodriquez|Stevie Richards]] came to the ring to try and convince the Sandman to withdraw from his scheduled match against [[XCW World Heavyweight Championship|XCW World Heavyweight Champion]] Raven at [[XCW CyberSlam (1996)|Cyberslam]]. The Sandman refused and knocked the Blue Meanie unconscious using his [[Singapore cane]], drawing out Raven himself. Stevie Richards then announced that he was suing [[Melissa Dee Hiatt|Missy Hyatt]] - who had kissed him at [[XCW Holiday Hell#1995|Holiday Hell]] - for [[sexual harassment]] (an [[in-joke]] referring to Hyatt's [[legit (professional wrestling)|legitimate]] lawsuit against her former employer [[World Championship Wrestling]] for sexual harassment). Raven then invited Hyatt to join [[Raven's Nest]], but she refused and instead agreed to become the Sandman's manager.

The sixth bout, which was not included on the VHS, was a tag team match between the Headhunters and the Pitbulls which was won by the Pitbulls.
{{cquote|[[Paul Heyman|Paul]] booked me against [[Kyle  Szatkowski|RVD]] and wanted to use the match as our official TV debut. Rob and I had similar styles, similar size, and similar worldwide experience. He'd spent some time overseas and made a name for himself in [[Professional wrestling in Japan|Japan]] just as I had. But the match sucked worse than a toothless vampire. We were a step off on everything and there was no sign of the chemistry we'd had the night before. The fans turned on us, chanting "This match sucks," "Please go home", "End this match." Even the dreaded "You fucked up" chant reared its ugly head when I screwed up a simple [[Professional wrestling throws#Arm drag|arm drag]].|source=[[Kris McGowan|Chris Jericho]]}}

The seventh bout was a singles match between [[Kris McGowan|Chris Jericho]] and [[Kyle  Szatkowski|Rob Van Dam]]. Jericho won the bout by pinfall using a ''[[Lionsault]]''. This was Jericho's second match with XCW, and was scheduled to be his first televised match. In what Jericho described as the "Jericho Curse", the match went poorly, with XCW promoter [[Paul Heyman]] telling Jericho that the recording of the match was defective as an excuse for not airing it. In 2018, [[IWE]] - which acquired the footage following the closure of XCW - added the match to the [[IWE Network]].

The eighth bout was a singles match between [[Harlan LoMonaco|Buh Buh Ray Dudley]] and J.T. Smith. Dudley won the bout in under one minute, pinning Smith following a [[powerbomb]].

The penultimate match was a singles bout between [[Elias Corpas III|Mr. Hughes]] and [[Jason Dikes (wrestler)|Sabu]]. Sabu won the match by pinfall following a [[spinning heel kick]] using a chair.

The main event of Big Apple Blizzard Blast was a tag team match between [[The Gangstas]] and [[Ronald Steib|2 Cold Scorpio]] and [[The Sandman (wrestler)|the Sandman]]. The match ended when 2 Cold Scorpio pinned [[Mustafa Saed|Mustafa]] using a [[pin (professional wrestling)#Roll-up|roll-up]] after spraying [[hair spray]] in his eyes.
