Mike Awesome vs Taz in 2000 was all time fukkery

[Vinny Lupton]

Didn't Heyman owe RVD like close to a million in back pay by the time ECW went out of business?

There was a list, I even pasted it here before, but yeah he owed RVD close to a mill. RVD said he later realized in 97 when they were doing the ecw appearances on raw, that the advice Paul gave RVD was intentionally bad (refusing to lose, etc) do RVD would get a bad reputation and wwf wouldnt want to sign him. Be a Paul Heyman guy, brehs

The Monday Night Wars of the late 90's to March 2001 was truly an era of fukkery.

Only the lucky ones got to live and see that era live everyweek

[Beautiful Bobby Eatin]

For real, that was bad LOL

ECW goat arena is still the ELKS LODGE

I'll take this over hammerstein

Yeah... about that... its a church now... wrestling shows have to use the crappy adjacent building.

But you are absolutely right. The crowd always looked nuts in there

 

[raw613]

The fact that Taz was on Smackdown with the ECW belt added to the fukkery too lol

 

[nomoreneveragain]

All Taz had to do was pin HHH on smackdown and he would have been a made man

 

[Hey_zeus]

I miss ECW and WCW

 

[HipHopStan]

I miss ECW and WCW

I gave WCW a lot of hell especially toward the end...but yeah, I agree.

 

[MeltzerDirtySprite]

Everytime I hear this dude music all i think of is.

 

[TripleAgent]

RVD is known to have hands...

All you gotta do is pick one

Never got to see it in person

Then again, didn't the want sandmans beer on me

Though it would have been epic to see one of Joel Gertner's intros

 

[Playaz Eyez]

And a few days later HHH buried the entire company

HHH beat Taz in like a 6 minute match

 

[MenacingMonk]

I remember reading about this. Had me

Then when Taz came out on SD with the belt I was

Then he lost and I became

 

[TRIPLE M]

To keep it 100, I don't know if anyone in the ECW roster other than Balls and maybe Bubba had any chance in hell against Awesome in a legit scrap.

chilly willy would of fukked him up
