Fuck Mania 4 was the fourth Fuck Mania event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling which took place on 18th April 1998

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Raven defending his ECW Heaviweight Championship against The Sandman. Raven's ego was at an all time high as he wanted to prove he was better than everyone but after he decided to end Dreamer's career with a cheap rollup, he couldn't care what the audience had to say about him anymore as he was living his dream champion life. Sandman was on a feud with the New Breed who wanted to push the old guys off of ECW's spotlight but Sandman said he still had a lot left in the tank. A championship chase was made between Sandman, Taz, Tama and Sabu which Sandman ended up winning to get a match against Raven tonight and hopefully get revenge for his longtime friend Dreamer

Mike Awesome was stripped off the ECW TV Championship after he didn't defend it for 30 days, a tournament began for it in which Steve Corino defeated Masato Tanaka and Little Guido to enter the finals while Rhino defeated Super Crazy and Lance Storm. The semi finals matches both had controversy because Storm made sure Guido didn't beat Corino and Guido made sure Storm didn't beat Rhino, since Heyman didnt think this was fair he made a one on one between Guido and Storm tonight with the winner entering the TV Championship match

Mike Awesome started trying to get a tag team partner to do something of noteworthy in ECW, he introduced Masato Tanaka and after 2 matches where they showed they had great chemistry together, Awesome turned heel on Tanaka and said the awesome era had begun. Awesome ended up winning the TV Championship and Tanaka returned, he didn't want that title YET, all he wanted was to get revenge on Awesome so he accepted a non title match at Hardcore Heaven which Tanaka managed to luck out and win. Awesome continued targeting Tanaka throught the weeks as Heyman tried to talk to him but he always shut him off, Heyman finally revealed that Awesome didn't defend the title for 30 days due to his obssession with Tanaka and was stripped off the belt, Awesome challenged Tanaka to a 2nd match and due to all the pain caused by him, Tanaka wasn't at 100 percent and lost their second match but Tanaka promised that as soon as he recovered from his injuries, he would have the tiebreaker against Awesome. In the last Hardcore TV, Tanaka announced he was clear and the third match of their series was set for tonight

RVD and Jerry Lynn focused on forming the New Breed of ECW as they were tired of people like The OGs who started aligning themselves with Taz, due to the championship chase the 2 losers(Sabu and Taz) would face RVD and Lynn tonight with the man who gets the winning pinfall becoming the NO1 contender to the ECW Heaviweight title at Extreme Countdown
