Essential Member Behind ECW Music Passes Away; More On Hogan's Lamborghini Destroyed; ECW Preview
For those who have been asking who was in Hulk Hogan's Lamborghini at the time of the fire, why it happened, and how much was the car worth, here we go.
As you can see in the above pictures, Hulk's son Nick was behind the wheel. Although a minor, he was accompanied by his mother which allows him to drive the vehicle. At least that's the law here in NY and myself being invoived with insurance, I should know.. So noone should hint of any illegal operations of the vehicle. As far as damage, it's a total loss. Fire damage is almost always a total loss on a vehicle, due to the electrical system and frame more than anything. As far as the cause, the engine probably caught fire from the extreme heat under the hood, and possibly a small gas leak. Many sports cars are equipped with fire extinguishers inside the car. It almost appears that there wasn't one. Or if there was, they may have just ran away from the vehicle thinking it could explode. Nothing here seems odd after further review. The insurance company is going to pay a pretty penny though. Depending on if the car was 'loaded', the car could be worth as much as $250,000.
The official website for Harry Slash & The Slashtones posted this unfortunate news. Harry Slash is definitely good people. And our condolences go out to him, the family, and friends of Eddie Sperry.

Extreme debut
For the first time in history, ECW will perform Madison Square Garden. The New York ECW fans always make for an exciting and special show and it will be a memorable night for Extremists in World's Most Famous Arena. This Tuesday, ECW on Sci Fi is sure to be a show like no other. Click here for more on ECW headed to MSG.
To make things even more spectacular, the first ECW World Title defense at the Garden will take place when Big Show and Sabu face off in an Extreme Rules Match. The last time these legendary Extremists met, Sabu was disqualified when he lost his temper and attacked the champ with the ring bell, busting him open. With no rules to stand in the way, what will happen when the Suicidal, Homicidal, Genocidal, Death-Defying Maniac meets the extreme giant?
In another huge face off, Rob Van Dam will face Hardcore Holly. The rivalry, which has been building for weeks, first started when ECW cult leader Paul Heyman whispered to Holly the name of an Extremist who was particularly vocal against Holly joining the brand. Since then, the ECW new comer has been making an impact by attacking RVD with an incredible fury. Who will emerge as the top Extremist?
Last week, Balls Mahoney was the victim of Kevin Thorn and Ariel's distraction on ECW on Sci Fi, resulting in Balls' defeat to Stevie Richards. Will Mahoney retaliate?
Find out by tuning in to ECW on Sci Fi, live every Tuesday at 10/9 CT.
