At which ECW show did Joel Gertner first wear the neck brace/bowtie combination?

Answer:

As confirmed by Joel, it was the ECW Downington Pennsylvania show on Friday, April 18 1997. This was the first show ECW ran after the April 13, 1997 Barely Legal event where Joel took “Total Elimination” by the Eliminators after the opening match.

He appeared with Big Dick Dudley (substituting for the injured Buh Buh Ray Dudley) and D-Von Dudley against The Gangstas.
