Lawler and Cornette in the Arena.

Pretty much the entire "Path of Rage" push for Taz.

Sabu returning to face off with Taz.

 

Well that's 6, sue me.

[Zack Malibu]

Brian Pillman showing up in '96 (he had done a match during the WCW/ECW agreement in '94, teaming with Douglas). My favorite promo in the history of everything.

 

Shane Douglas shaking Gary Wolfe by the surgically attatched halo.

 

During the Douglas/Dreamer vs. Impact Players match (after Credible and Storm interrupted Douglas' "retirment ceremony" and each demanded they be the New Franchise of ECW), Dreamer made the hot tag to Douglas, who came in the ring and raised up the Triple Threat sign, causing every to take a fit and making it look like they were all gonna beat on Dreamer, until the faces revealed it was a swerve and cleaned house.

 

Raven returning as a babyface to save Dreamer and win the tag titles.

 

Douglas throwing down the NWA Title and creating ECW.

[Carnival]

Tommy Dreamer winning the World Title.

 

Raven and Dreamer winning the Tag Titles.

 

Tajiri vs Corino matches.

 

Tazz with the barbwire in the mouth tazzmission on Tajiri.

 

Sabu and Tazz lock up as the lights go out.

[JST]

- Sabu jumping off the giant A from the old Raw set, onto Team Taz.

 

- RVD selling a Dreamer piledriver by bouncing three feet in the air.

 

- Pretty much the whole 97 Invasion angle.

 

- Discovering Masato Tanaka through his series with Mike Awesome.

 

- Bam Bam sends Spike Dudley bodysurfing.

[BUTT]

The first time I saw ECW when I was 10 years old, the match between Guerrero/Taz and Malenko/Scorpio where Taz injured his neck.

 

Seeing Misterio and Psychosis for the first time.

 

Raven winning his first ECW world title.

 

Pillman's "smart marks" promo.

 

Austin's ECW debut.

[Guest Askewniverse]

In no particular order:

 

- Mikey Whipwreck beating The Sandman to win the ECW Title.

- The "chair shot heard around the world."

- Brian Pillman's "debut" (see Zack's post) in 1996.

- Rob Van Dam's two dives onto Bam Bam Bigelow.

- 911 finally chokeslamming Bill Alfonso.

taz and bam bam went thru the entrance ramp at heatwave, sorry to be a nitpicker.

 

as for mine, I cant think right now, but how about The Sandmans return in 1999, the crowd went NUTS

[ChrisMWaters]

Here's one from me:

 

"I'll take them BOTH, I'm HARDCORE!"

 

Dreamer getting both Beulah and Kimona.

 

The reactions from Douglas, the ring announcer and referee were classic.

[Youth N Asia]

1. Mikey Whipwreck winning the world title.

 

2. Cactus picks Mikey as his tag team partner against the Public Enemy, and they win the tag titles.

 

3. The Dudley Boys last night in ECW, along with Raven and Dreamer winnin the tag titles.

 

4. "We're takin' over!"

 

5. The Dudley Boys start randomly taking out workers backstage at Hardcore Heaven 99.

 

D-Von: "Buh Buh, this says we're supposed to take out Jack Victory."

 

Buh Buh: "Jack Visctory's our boy, he was with us when he broke Beullah's neck...just out of curiousity, how much did brother Gertner put in that envelope."

 

D-Von: "Buh Buh, there's five grand in here."

 

Buh Buh: "Oh...my...God...Jack Victory's a dead man."

I'm sure if I thought about it long enough I could keep changing 3-5 all day long.

Not bothered by the nitpicking, but I wasn't indecisive.

 

They went through at Living Dangerously in an unplanned bit.

 

They went through at Heatwave in a presumably planned bit.

 

Take your pick, I marked out for both. My bad, I was kind of vague.

[Jericholic82]

Living Dabgerously wasnt unplanned. They even gimmicked the ring (though Taz still hit his head). This was confirmed on the ecw rise and fall dvd (listen to the tazz/cole commentary on bbb/taz

[Special K]

Forgive me Uncle Eric

 

Dreamer beats Raven

 

Dudleys get a standing O

 

Funker wins the title

 

Pretty much the whole Alfonso angle. DQing Dreamer for a closed fist, stopping a tai-pei death match for 'excessive blood loss' when there was a drop of blood, getting monstrously chokeslammed, getting his balls handed to him by Beulah McGilicutty.

[Ravenbomb]

1) Dreamer pinning Raven

 

2) Cactus' farewell

 

3) 911 chokeslamming Alfonso

 

4) Raven returning, winning the tag titles with Dreamer
