Douglas Vs The Pitbulls was so good. First ECW match I ever saw was Douglas Vs Pitbull2 Vs Jericho Vs 2 Cold Scorpio. And if you know the history of ECW you know how that ends… 😂
Very solid list. Undoubtedly Raven/Dreamer is #1. Even though RVD/Sabu was really good, I definitely would've gone Sabu/Taz at #2. Their rivalry went on for years, was incredibly over at the ECW arena, involved a real broken neck and the two men hated each other, irl. That opens up RVD and you could list his feud with Jerry Lynn over the TV title which has several really great PPV matches.
Exactly what I was thinking! To me, Sabu and Taz had the better rivalry as did Jerry and Rob. I'm really shocked we didn't get a Sandman, Shane Douglas or Justin Credible feud but idk who I'd have picked for each one.
I feel like there are some missing from here but then I loved everything included. This must have been an incredibly difficult choice. Could have been a top 20 with RVD v Lynn, Raven v Sandman, Sabu v Taz…
I love that you made this video but like several others have pointed out, you guys have some egregious omissions from this list. Sandman vs Raven Shane Douglas vs Taz Sabu vs Taz Shane Douglas vs The Pitbulls Ian Rotten vs Axl Rotten Rob Van Dam vs Jerry Lynn
My top 10 ECW Rivalries Number 1 TAZ vs SABU 2 Tommy dreamer vs Raven 3 Mike Awesome vs Tanaka 4 Sabu vs Rvd 5 Sandman vs Raven 6 Rvd vs Jerry Lynn 7 TAZ vs Bam Bam Bigelow 8 The Dudley Boyz vs The Gangstas 9 The Eliminators vs The Gangstas and 10 Eddie Guerrero vs Dean Malenko those are real old school rivalries those are my Top 10 Rivalries in ECW history agree with me or not a true Old School ECW fans would agree with me on that one
Sabu vs. RVD is the reason I started watching wrestling again. Their Hardcore Heaven 96 match where the ropes broke was absolutely engrossing. Kind of surprised not to see Sandman vs. Raven, Sabu vs. Taz, or Cactus Jack vs. Terry Funk on the list.
Sandman Vs Raven , Gangstas Vs Public Enemy , Gangstas Vs Eliminators , Shane Douglas Vs Pitbull #2, Shane Douglas Vs Taz , Taz Vs Sabu , Sabu Vs Terry Funk, Public Enemy Vs Pitbulls , Public Enemy Vs Bad Breed , Axl Rotten Vs Ian Rotten , RVD Vs Jerry Lynn . Just a few other noteworthy Rivalries in ECW . A few favourites of mine .
I do see that RVD v Sabu was amazing but I cannot see any way you can rank that over RVD vs Jerry Lynn, for em if it wasnt that Dreamer Raven was almost the story of ECW it would be a conternder for the top spot. I love your content guys and please keep making this top drawer stuff.
I think the greatest ECW rivalry ever might be the fans vs their broken N64 controllers. I can't even count how many of those I've seen used at ECW house shows. I used to always mark stuff I dropped into the bins outside with green duct tape so I'd be certain when someone was using my old electronics.
Storm/candido, malenko/eddie, corino/dusty over raven/sandman, rvd/jerry even awesome/tanaka nah those rilvaries was great with the latter 2 help keeping ecw alive
Sabu/Taz not being up here is seriously criminal. Delete the video, redo it and reupload 😂😂😂 EDIT: no RVD-Lynn, no Raven-Sandman, no Franchise-Pitbulls, no Cactus-Mikey, no Balls-Axl ????? I think maybe the creator is a bit too young here.
It's weird to remember how talent poaching destroyed ECW and how nowadays MLW has a lawsuit against WWE for the exact same practices, I wonder what would have happened if WWE didn't keep poaching talent from ECW and Paul Heyman had gotten a bit better with managing the companies finances
I'm going to cheat a little bit but what about ecw vs Jerry the king lawyer kinda started when ecw invaded wwf (legitimately that's what I heard)in your house but it fully started in 1997 wwf invited ecw to there show but Jerry the king lawyer and Paul Heyman but heads going at each other on commentary/ getting the likes of rob van dam and sabu/insulting ecw when getting the chance/ Jerry lawyer invades ecw/ match on ecw pvp interesting feud
I couldn't disagree with this horrible list more. No mention of: Sandman vs. Raven, Taz vs. Sabu, Sandman & Tommy Dreamer vs. the Dudleys, Public Enemy vs. the Gangstaz, Sandman vs. Tommy Dreamer, TheTriple Threat vs. "New" Triple Threat (Taz, Sabu & RVD)....and those are just off the top of my head right now. All of these feuds were WAY better than Mysterio & Psycosis, Super Crazy vs. Taijiri, Guerrero vs. Malenko and many others on this list. Those "rivalries" were just excellent matches, there were no heated feuds between them so I wouldn't even CONSIDER putting them in the Top 20, let alone the Top 10. Worst. List. EVER.
Tazz vs sabu Rvd vs Jerry Lynn Raven vs tommy dreamer The pitbulls vs the eliminators Beulah vs bill Alfonso Kurt angle vs the cross Axl vs Ian rotten Spike Dudley vs gravity Paul heyman vs TNN Need I continue …
Long story short, ECW was the best of the major 3 American promotions and had they had the budget of the other two, they would have continued on strongly. There would have never been a Ring of Honor. Those guys would have fit perfectly with ECW. Imagine a Samoa Joe vs Taz feud…
I know it's subjective...but it had to be Taz vs. Sabu, not Bigelow. That feud was years in the making & get them to PPV. And RVDs feud with Lynn was more historic, over a prestigious title, and raised the bar for match quality in North America in the late 90s.
