Guest HBK16 Report post Posted October 8, 2002 I'm not even that big of an ECW fan but what I saw out of ECW was great. I have to say the thing that got me into ECW was probably the Eliminators. But the match that just made my jaw drop was when Spike Dudley was military pressed from the ring to a few rows into the crowd. I have never seen anything like that in my life. Who in the right mind would even do that. But that wasn't even it. The crowd's reaction to it. The place just exploded with holy shits and ECW chants. It made the hair on my neck stand up. I kid you not. EDIT: I wasn't sure to put this in the Old School or General but I went with this one because most of the best things that came out of ECW were past 5 years ago IMO.

Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted October 9, 2002 I've never seen much ECW either, but one Friday night, I got sent home from work early so I turned on ECW/TNN from the Hammerstein Ballroom in the summer of 1999. The first segment saw Heymen get gored. That led to the entire roster to hit the ring. That's when 'Bawitaba' hit over the PA. Kid Kash ran to the ring looking for Rhino so the TV Title match could start. I THINK they moshed him onto Rhino as well. Anywhoo, the ECW roster w/ Rhino spilled outside the ring to brawl, when Kash hit a plancha ONTO THE ENTIRE ROSTER!!! Woooooooooo!!!!! The segment ended w/ Kash upsetting Rhino thanks to help from Sandman. It was definitely good stuff! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Slingshot Suplex Report post Posted October 9, 2002 Shane Douglas winning the NWA title and the subsequent throwing down of the belt. Proclaiming the ECW title as a world heavyweight title. The first Extreme Championship Wrestling moment and possibly the most memorable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BAR Report post Posted October 9, 2002 My favourite ECW moment was Cactus' farewell speech, classic. Very emotional, but classic none the less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Si82 Report post Posted October 9, 2002 Brain Pillman shows up and shoots on the ECW Arena fans. A classic moment I would have to agree. A true classic moment. Made all the better by some fans chanting "Where's your skateboard?" at Shane Douglas while he tries to act like a face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest gwf0704 Report post Posted October 10, 2002 Bill Alphonso v Beulah was my favorite ECW match as both put in a lot of effort in the match and Fonzie accidently bladed himself too deep. Man, the guy looked like a stuck pig.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JHawk Report post Posted October 10, 2002 My favorite ECW was at a house show, actually. Tommy Dreamer was wrestling Tajiri in a "Warren, Ohio Street Fight" (don't you love cateringto the locals?). Anyway, the brawl spilled outside, I put my "Throw him here" target over the guardrail and yelled out "TOMMY!" He turned, saw the sign, shouted "Out of the fuckin way", and I came half a second away from getting kicked in the head by a flying Japanese wrestler. It was quite fun.

Guest Lord of The Curry Report post Posted October 11, 2002 - Ravens return to win the the tag titles w/ Dreamer. I've never seen a crowd reaction like that before, probably never will. - High Incident. Dreamer vs Lee, scaffolding match. Oh, I know, the match sucked ass but it's the post-match shit that is solid muthafuckin' gold! Tommy F'n Dreamer goes through the crowd, hugging and shaking hands with everybody in sight! Then, he goes, and HUGS A KID IN A WHEELCHAIR!!! I almost cried watching that shit, Dreamer so fuckin ruled. - Tajiri vs Psicosis, ECW TV, August of 2000. One of the best matches nobody's seen, - The tag team of Mikey and Tajiri, specifically when they came out wearing matching pimp hats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Voices In Your Head Report post Posted October 12, 2002 My favorite ECW moments: -The promo from Oct. '95 where Public Enemy trains Mikey Whipwreck for a ladder match with the Sandman [i almost know that skit word for word] -Brian Pillman's promo from Cyber Slam '96 -Sandman's return to ECW in '99 [i have that episode of Hardcore TV on tape, and the crowd reaction for him is just nuts] -Shane Douglas throwing down the NWA title [i've probably watched the tape of it at least a dozen times] I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of things, since I'm a BIG TIME ECW mark.

Guest JHawk Report post Posted October 12, 2002 Another great one was when Tazz went in on his day off to get the World Title off of the departing Mike Awesome. That three minute match was more of an interpromotional war than the entire InVasion angle and shocked the hell out of everybody except those who were willing to sit through thousands of pop-up ads.

Guest What? Report post Posted October 16, 2002 When Mikey and Tajiri started using a table as a launching pad, and started launching chairs at Big Sal...great stuff Steve Corino's pre-Novemeber to Remember World Title match, where he gets Jack Victory to hold a door shut and proceeds to empty The Sandmans beer, but the Sandman then walks in through another door and attacks Corino.

Guest Angle-plex Report post Posted October 16, 2002 Well, everything has been said pretty much. Another that pops into mind is Wrestlepalooza '97 when RVD and Sabu kicked the entire roster's ass. I also marked out every time New Jack came out, for some strange reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
