UltraClash (1998)
1998 Extreme Championship Wrestling supercard event

Event
The event began with Tommy Dreamer giving a promo paying tribute to the Sandman (who had left ECW to join World Championship Wrestling) until he was attacked by Jack Victory, Rod Price, and Justin Credible, leaving him bloodied.
The opening bout was a singles match between Jerry Lynn and Mikey Whipwreck. Whipwreck won the match by pinfall following a Whipper-snapper.
The second bout was an "Italian vendetta match" pitting Chris Chetti and Tommy Rogers against the Full Blooded Italians (Little Guido and Tracy Smothers). During the match, Full Blooded Italians-member Tommy Rich joined the match alongside his stablemates, hitting Chetti and Rogers with an Italian flag. This drew out J.T. Smith - making his return to ECW - who joined the match alongside Chetti and Rogers, turning it into a six-man tag team match. The match ended when Chetti pinned Little Guido.

Why this record matters
“UltraClash (1998)” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, UltraClash, Extreme and Championship provides the most credible route into that argument.
Contemporary correspondence, administrative files and participant testimony can test how later narratives organized the event or institution. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 26, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q55636494. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1998.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits.
