Joey Styles has explained the origins of his "Oh my God!" Catch phrase before. It all began one day they were recording commentary on a match with JT Smith and Mike Awesome, Awesome did a suicide dive, overshot it and in an effort to save him Smith tried to catch him but got bent awkwardly over the guard rail. Joey said "oh my God!" Then stopped because he wasn't sure if he could say that on the air. But Paul Heyman told him to say it from then on every time he saw something crazy. "Ay Dios Mios" is oh my God in Spanish and he'd say that whenever it involved a Latino wrestler.
@@Pumpd.Up.Platypus The most underated and the best by far, when Gertner would come out with one of his obscene opening lines, my favorite was when he announced how all the girls in Milwaukee loved to play and frolic through his spunk, and he got fined for saying it, those 2 were perfect calling matches together.
There are still some crazy ones out there, check out CZW stuff. But for the most part today they see what happened to a lot of those guys bodies and it filtered out a lot of people willing to try. Plus, guys like Mick Foley who people pleaded with to take it easy in his prime telling the younger guys he should have taken their advice and learned how to space those bumps out, instead of making them his entire gimmick (because then he had to do them all the time or he felt he was letting fans down).
WWE has moved away from a lot of this but you can still see some wild stuff in like AEW or all over on the indies like GCW, PWG, or pretty much any of the bigger independent companies.
Growing up I was a huge ECW fan. It really opened my eyes to new types of pro wrestling. They had the hardcore stuff for sure, I mean, they were supposed to be "Extreme." But they had a lot of different tastes for everyone. They had some of the best technical types, they had Luchadors from Mexico, they brought guys over from Japan, they had pure entertainers, they had all kinds of things. The extreme stuff is what usually gets highlighted, but they had all kinds of different types of wrestling for different people. Gotta look at the list of guys who went through ECW at one point or another. Rob Van Dam, Dudley Boyz, Mick Foley, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Terry Funk, Bam Bam Bigelow, Steve Austin, just to name a few. Sorry for the long post, but I'm a pro wrestling nerd. Anyway, ECW was way ahead of its time, and I wish it could have had the money it needed to survive to see where it would go and how it would evolve. Paul Heyman is arguably one of the best minds in pro wrestling
Such an undershown element of what ECW was doing, there was all the talk about the really insane stuff, and fair go the series of matches with Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka was full of "is he dead?" moments, but then they had the matches between Eddie & Malenko, the series with Psycosis and Rey, and stuff like bringing in Jinsei Shinzaki and Hayabusa as a tag team. That was the same stuff which kept me tuned to Nitro instead of RAW as well, lucha, japan, and cruiserweights were so much fun to watch.
Like u said, ECW hit different. Completely different era of Wrestling. These guys put EVERYTHING they had into each and every match. And yes, the Burning tables, thats real flames
I use to live and work in Philadelphia back in the ECW days and went to a bunch of shows and it always that crazy. Used to be able to bring weapons to the matches and but them in a garbage pail on the way in and then they would use them in the matches. Such a great time.
Yes it was real barbed wire. Sabu (the parachute-pants-guy) literally ripped his bicep off the bone in one of those matches. Yeah New Jack was crazy for jumping off things all the time, but he was provably insane as well, stabbing one opponent several times IN A MATCH. But the really off the wall part was that his victim refused to press charges and offered his attacker money to train him. Some of these guys had careers in WWE or WCW and technically were good wrestlers, but ECW was all about shock factor and they delivered with every show.
HOLY SHIT! adam is in for a TREAT TODAY!! by far the best wrestling promotion EVER EC F'N W!! not sure if it will show it again but adam was talking over Rhino piledriving a woman through a table LOL and the dragon youre referring too is Psicosis , he specializes in Lucha Libre, mexican wrestling where they wear a lot of costumes and are high flying , oh dios mio is just the commenter's spanish version of his "oh my god" catch phrase 😂
The one match from ECW that would haunt you for the rest of your life is the Barbed Wire ropes match, featuring Terry Funk vs Sabu. Sabu tore open his Bicep and crazy glued/duck taped it shut mid match, until he went to the hospital to get 100+ stitches. Terry Funk almost lost his life that night, as they both became tangled in barbed wire and it wrapped around his neck like a vice while people were frantically trying to cut the wire with wire cutters. It's by far the most extreme (no pin intended) match I've ever seen.
Back in high school, in the early 2000's for me, I remember I got into ECW during the tail end of their business. I remember catching it on cable, and the commentator was saying this will be their last broadcast, and I believe the Dudleyz closed out the show with some fucking insane violence that I've never seen before. After that, when I got my weekly allowance, I would go to the Video Stop on Friday, and rent a bunch of ECW VHS tapes, and watched what was available to me at the time. I really felt like I missed out, but was happy to at least watch some video PPV's. Another note, even the women who were managers took a lot of dangerous and fucking insane bumps. You're totally right, these wrestlers in the OG ECW were just built completely different.
One of my buddy used to find a lot of local wrestling shows here in Louisiana.They would sell eve vids at the merch table. This was wayyyy before internet. We didn’t get it around these parts at all.
6:33 sabu actually sliced his arm open bad with this jump. Right after you see him notice it and then he went and used the tape on his arms to tape the wound shut. As you can tell, the ecw guys were mental but one of the best parts of the company was the variety. At various points you'd have rob van dam churning out barn burners with guys like Jerry lynn (the guy crotched on the top rope at 1:29), kid kash (the dude in the shiny pants at 5:19) doing sick flips while also having guys like spike dudley and Mike awesome trying to destroy one another like at 6:07. It was truly something special.
Just want to comment, some of these guys retired before their 40s. Some died before their 50s. The "lucky ones" didn't see their 60s. Pitbull 2 died in his mid 30s, Taz had to retire aged 34, Mike Awesome passed away to suicide aged 42, New Jack suffered a fatal heart attack aged 58, the Chair Swinging Freaks both suffered CTE and died in their 40s and I could go on. Just saying, it's not that they're built different, it's just that most of us saw what these guys did, saw where they ended up and said "fuck that, I'm not ending up like them".
Oh the fire is quite real, it was used more in FMW and NJPW in Japan.Those matches were beyond insane, Barbed Wire, Fire, Bed of Nails, weed wackers, glass, exploding ring, even a tank filled with piranh. Cactus Jack and Terry Funk had some real bloody wars back then. 6:28 I remember that match Spike Dudley vs Mike Awsome, Spike got the hell beat out of him, he went through like 7 or 8 tables, I think all in all 10 tables were destroyed between the both of them. 6:30 Terry Funk vs Sabu barbed wire match (born to be wired) this is often described as one of the most disturbing matches in history. Sabu tore open his bicep (roughly 10 inches long, which required around 100 stitches) 6:36 in this video shows the "spot". Sabu simply taped it up and not only did he finish the match he beat Terry Funk for the ECW world heavyweight championship. They became so entangled in the barbed wire that it took several ring technicians armed with wire cutters and wearing gloves (after the match was over) almost 10 minutes to free both wrestlers, and yes that barbed wire was very real. They said that it was too extreme even for ECW standards. Paul Heymen said he never booked another barbed wire match for ECW, because it was "so gruesome" if that gives you any indication of how horrific it was, Joey Styles the commentator said "it was the most disturbing match i ever had to call". There was a moment where Funk started whipping Sabu with a strand of barbed wire, and you could see it shredding the skin on his back. As for fire well. Doing a flaming tablets spot is about timing if you do it too soon you can get seriously burned, if its too late the fire will go out before completing the spot, which doesn't look good to the audience. Also the velocity of the wrestler falling on the table should extinguish most of the fire (key word should). 8:16 "the Stairway to Hell match between Sabu and the Sandman (House Party) Sabu legitimately broke his Jaw on the steel guardrail outside the ring. And "you guessed it" he simply taped his jaw closed and continued the match, however Sandman won the match at the end, with a direct shot to Sabu's taped jaw using a Singapore Cane. The guy that kept saying "oh my god" was Joey Styles, it was like a trademark he's best been known for, however he was a solid commentator he did an excellent job at identifying all the moves, not to mention he did this job solo with an occasional guest from time to time.
4:52 the guy in the black mask doing an elevated Hurricanrana to Psicosis in the silver bodysuit? That's none other than Rey Misterio Jr, at around age 17 or 18 IIRC. As to the sort of wrestling content ECW specialized in, you're half right: a lot of the main events featured brutality as the attraction, which is why folks like Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, New Jack and The Dudley Boys were frequently at the top of shows. That said, ECW also featured a lot of technical and high flying stars, like Rob Van Dam, Jerry Lynn, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Super Crazy and Kid Cash. Beyond them, they routinely did shows with other international promotions, bringing in wrestlers from Mexico and Japan to demonstrate their styles, either against themselves, or against the ECW originals. ECW is sort of the punk rock of professional wrestling- a lot of it is rough as hell, but there's also a lot of it that has artistry and vision beyond the bloodshed, and it's part of why it was so influential to professional wrestling. Even still, as someone who watched this in his tweens and teens? I never need to see another unprotected chairshot to the head in new wrestling for as long as I live. I'm full up, I'm good, thanks.
The "Dragon" wrestler is a Mexican wrestler called Psicosis (yes he have had brief stunt in WWE without a mask as he lost it in a match in WCW to Billy Kidman if memory serves me) and "Chucky" is Lil Spike Dudley (you figure out what first letters of the name correlate to :P ) and is a kayfabe brother to Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudleys (while having some extra brothers as well) You should also check "ECW Throw me a Chair" video :P
Mate, they used to not only throw people into the crowd but interacted directly with them. Mick Foley said the ecw fans were different. And fire is real, thumbtacks, chairs ladders, even the razor wire, explosives and the toughest sobs in the world. Look at the concrete, no mats. The little guys who you likened to Chucky, is Spike Dudley who was a teacher in real life.
The clip at 2:40 is Mike Awesome who was one of my favourite wrestlers. A strong giant who moved like a cruiserweight. That is basically Brock Lesnar's frame that jumps on the top rope, pauses to taunt and then dives into the crowd. A great athlete who was never really appreciated after his ECW stint and who died tragically in 2007 at age 42.
I used to watch ECW every Saturday (Friday?) night when it was on MSG Network. To answer a few of your questions, the "Chucky" guy you saw (the same guy who Bubba throws into the crowd and onto the flaming table) is Spike Dudley who was in long feud with his "cousins" Bubba Ray and D-Von. He would later wrestle in WWE and TNA//Impact. In fact, there was a whole Dudley clan at one point. Yes, this was Heyman's organization. For all his faults, he knows his crowd psychology very well. One of the biggest crowd moments came as a result of a storyline that played out over a few months. They introduced Bill Alfonso, a referee from both WWE and WCW as an authority figure (before every organization was running similar storylines and WWE beat it into the ground), reportedly from the state Athletic Commission. One of Alfonso's first acts was to ban the Chokeslam, the finishing (only?) move of a fan favorite wrestler called 9-1-1. Well one night, Bill and Big Dick Dudley (of the aforementioned Dudley Clan) get carried away in the ring and Dudley chokeslams one of the members of Public Enemy. Alfonso quickly announces on the mic that he's not disqualified because he's making the Chokeslam legal again and before he can consider the ramifications of his actions, 9-1-1's music starts. You'd have thought there were 15,000 in the hall on what became "The Night that 9-1-1 Chokeslamed Bill Alfonso." There were both types of wrestlers in ECW, skilled wrestlers like Bam Bam Bigelow, Chris Jericho, Tully Blanchard, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko all passed through ECW. There were also more stunt-oriented wrestlers like Public Enemy, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer. And there were still others like Mick Foley, Taz, and Rob Van Dam who were both. "He who shall not be named" got his nickname "The Canadian Crippler" there after Sabu tried to reposition himself in mid-air and fell onto his neck instead. ECW had some great moments including Steve Austin's brief run. He only wrestled a few matches, but he cut some of the funniest promos during his time there and you can really see the beginnings of the Stone Cold character. They ran some great storylines in a time when WCW and WWF were still doing the classic good guy/bad guy routine. All the guys in the ring "telling it as it is," comes from ECW as does the entire WWE Attitude Era. And Tommy Dreamer and Raven is still one of the greatest wrestling feuds of all time. Also, if you can find any Public Enemy promo or any Sandman match. (Sandman would occasionally even cut a promo during a match or stop to have a beer or a smoke.) As far as single best match in ECW, I would vote for the Malenko/Guerrero Showdown, a 2 out of 3 falls match between Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero that singled both the end of their feud and both men's last match in ECW before leaving for WCW. It remains one of the greatest technical matches I've ever seen and easily one of the best matches in wrestling history.
A lot of them were just crazy dudes trying to murder each other, but there were also a lot of really talented people who later became big. Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Austin, Taz, and RVD all spent time in ECW.
The scaffold match took place during an ECW Home Video taping named “High Incident”. Tommy Dreamer wrestled against “Prime Time” Brian Lee. There was only enough room for one support frame, while the other side was tied down to pillars in the building. The scaffold floor dangerously swinged and swayed. There were stacks of tables underneath the scaffold floor to break the fall of the losing wrestler, but faced the prospect of an instant concussion and broken bones. Joey Styles referred to that match as “The Most Dangerous Scaffold Match Of All Time”.
Not sure if there's been a comment earlier, but at 3:30 in it IS real fire, but it is lighter fluid so it burns at a relatively low temperature and goes out quickly. Most of the time the slipstream of the falling wrestler creates a mini-vacuum and snuffs out the oxygen. Also, the wrestler will be wet with sweat (and possibly water poured on to him). It doesn't always go as planned though, which I can confirm from experience.
the wrestler with the music being played his name is new jack but that is not the music he used in ECW he used Natural Born Killers the music you heard is dubbed over by wwe to avoid copyright
New Jack, Sabu and Sandman were definitely mad lads. as for "Chucky" (Spike Dudley), I think is whole gimmick was that he was basically a human projectile.
Some of ther wrestlers wene nuts, some were incredibly skilled. One you din't see in the video but was an amazing innovator was Supernova/Nova. He came up with the incredible brand new moves/finishers that would quickly be stolen by then WWF wrestlers. Tajiri was also one of my favorite. His strikes looked so real and he used to spit green mist, which I love (big shout out to the Great Muta).
7:49 Kind of. It's the dub for New Jack's actual music, which would play throughout his matches back in the day, "Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.
I watched ECW on a local UHF affiliate ...the picture was grainy and you had to rig the antenna just to get anything ..sometimes it just wouldn't be on . But every Friday before I would go out for the night I would make sure I caught ECW.. Got to see them live twice in 99 and2000.. No lie..Bubba Ray threw a chair at me in the front row for cheering for them..he gave me the Bubba eyes and whipped the chair an inch from the top of the barricade,everyone just turned and looked at me like Holy S... It's actually on an RF video copy of the show. Also saw the flaming table spot in that match and the tag titles change at a house show.. There will never be anything like ECW.. BTW..the guy in the pants is Sabu..he's Homicidal,Suicidal, and Genocidal. .. A couple other guys in there you prob know are Mick Foley and Rey Mysterio.. "Chuckie" is Spike Dudley.
ECW basically followed on from the MTV show Backyard Wrestling but in ECW they did have a very slight form of safety measures in their matches, if you think that is insane check out some of the 90s Japanese death match wrestling where they would use explosives as weapons in their matches, you will see 2 wrestling legends that had insane matches in Japanese death matches, Terry Funk and Cactus Jack a.k.a Mick Foley
6:38 yes, they replaced the ropes with Barbed Wire, it's the famous Barbed wire Deathmatch between Sabu and Terry Funk, want even more insane, watch Barbed wire Deathmatches in Japan, where explosions are added
I really miss ECW.. I have been to 2 non-televised show's, and 1 pay-per-view when they came to Birmingham, Alabama. I think a few of those clips were from the pay-per-view.,I don't remember which match it was, but they went to using a cheese grater on each other, and you could see the skin falling out of it.. It was wild. The barbed wire match with Sabu and Terry Funk,Sabu got one of his biceps ripped open.
The little guy being tossed by everyone is Little Spike Dudley. I loved watching this growing up. It was different and Paul Heyman knew it. They also had great wrestling matches. Many stars got their start in the US audiences with ECW like Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Rey Misterio, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, and Eddie Guerrero. Taz was my favorite. He's the guy suplexing everyone. There are plenty of broken neck injuries as well. These guy went to extremes to give a great show. I was never not entertained.
I'm pretty sure the clip where Sabu had his left bicep taped up was the result of tearing it open during a barber wire match. Instead of stopping for medical attention he justed taped his arm and kept going.
3:29. Yes that is actually a table on fire. They use lighter fluid to make it burn bright, but not for long, or hot enough to ignite the table itself. Although you should search for Cody Rhodes AEW flaming table spot. And then see the aftermath. That's what happens when things go wrong.
if your taking suggestion, watch any Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka fight, Dudleyville Street Fight fight The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray, D-Von and Big Dick) Vs Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and Spike Dudley. Tommy Dreamer v Tazzmainiac (Dreamer's first match in ECW with a vastly different gimmick then he became known for.) Tommy Dreamer Vs The Sandman (The infamous caning that made Tommy Dreamer the Innovator of Violence and the Heart and Soul of ECW.)
ECW didn't just do shock value wrestling. Yes, it is what it is known for but Heyman also gave the first major exposure to Lucha's doing pure Lucha wrestling as opposed to the Americanized version always seen from Mil Mascaras and the Guerrero family. The "devil guy" was Psychosis who along with Rey Mysterio Jr changed the entire North American wrestling industry with what Heyman let them do in ECW, that WCW quickly picked up on and made Nitro stand apart from Raw. Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, 2Cold Scorpio, that guy that killed his wife and kid were putting on pure mat wrestling mixed with cruiserweight moves clinics that are still being copied to this day, another thing WCW picked up on to further separate them from WWF's stale product of the time. Yes, a lot of shock value and ultra violence in ECW, but it mixed in plenty of great pure pro wrestling that resembled a legitimate athletic contest between skilled athletes. Now the storylines on the other hand, those are hard to explain without any context but to say they were over the top is an understatement.
Yes I think you should watch the whole ECW show something you will never forget this was chaos wrestling this was crazy wrestling extreme wrestling and Paul Heyman was running the whole show
I'm about 30 minutes from the small-town RVD was pulled over and caught with Marijuana back when he was WWE Champion. Which is what cost him his title reign.
I used to watch it pretty regularly for a while. In fact, on my old channel that I had for a decade, from which I have been pernanently banned due to a scuHmbag filing claims against my unmonetized uploads of a bonus disc he hadn't ever made available to buy, I uploaded video from one of my VHS tapes of Lita getting Kryptonite Krunched by Nova (Simon Dean).
The clip of newjack tossing the guy off the flimsy little bridge thing into the mountain of tables, was literally an attempted murder !! Look up the story of newjack in ECW ! The man was insane lol
I lived ECW as a teenager. Those guys were insane. The announcer is Joey Styles. He’s a legend. Do yourself a favor and watch some of their PPV’s from 98’ & before. Off tha chain.
"Chucky" is the 'Giant Killer' Little Spike Dudley. The fire isn't green screen, it's lighter fluid. Lol Gotta check out the best of Joel Gertner's middle names. Also the Dudley Boys ecw promos.
Not sure if someone has mentioned it already but in the new jack clip where the guy goes through several tables he used a taser as payback for a previous bad bump. Payback
Sabu, one of the ECW wrestlers once cut his arm open so the muscle was falling out, taped up his arm mid match and then continued! That’s so e of the balls these guys have.
Might not make sense to anyone but I followed wwf, and just watched ecw, but never wanted to miss ecw cause you never knew what you might miss!! One of the craziest night after night put their bodies through hell for our entertainment organizations ever. I was happy to see wwf buy wcw, but wasnt happy when i heard ecw joined too. ECW was it's own!!
Also, yeah, the WWE, and other promos, are very different these days. But it's probably for the best, given that wrestlers don't really live beyond 65. Rowdy Roddy Piper died at 61. And just look up Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero for examples of very early wrestlers deaths. I think it's awesome we have this stuff to look back on, but I am somewhat glad wrestlers don't have to annihilate their bodies and brains for our entertainment.
Hell, ECW closed its doors twenty years ago, and there are so many wrestlers in this video that are no longer with us: the Chair Swinging Freaks, New Jack, Mike Awesome, Pitbull 2, Bam Bam Bigelow, I believe I saw John Kronus too.
Joey Styles is the commentator. An no green screens lol. This is the wrestling I grew up going to watch in pa cuz tickets were cheap. It also got me hooked when we stole a bus stop sign and took it and the wrestler New Jack ended up taking it from us and using it lol
Yes sometimes that music would play during his whole match cuz it was his theme song. That’s new jack. Only wrestler to try and kill a man for real in a match.
Joey Styles was the ECW's lone announcer and his catchphrase was "Ohmygod!!! He would rarely be joined by a color commentator choosing to broadcast alone.
You should see the clip of when the fans threw like a shit load of chairs into the ring. I believe they were throwing them at Public Enemy. There was like a hundred chairs in the ring. U could hear, i think Joey Styles on the PA system telling everyone to stop throwing them. It was pretty gnarly.
That guy Bam Bam Bigelow put through the floor was Taz. He became an announcer in the WWE. Smart move on his part. He got paid and didn't have to get put through tables anymore.
About a year ago was a move in AEW where someone used a pizza cutter on the forehead of the opponent. With that move they went to a split screen commercial. Of Dominos. That was a huge scandal for TNT (where AEW airs) and the people who pay for the ad time.
OMG! Where do I begin? Just look up New Jack and watch his Dark Side of the Ring documentary if you want your mind blown. As for the announcer, that is the legendary Joey Styles and he coined that catchphrase because…well, you just saw why. That craziness happened every episode!
Thank goodness I was a teen during the Attitude era got to watch and change channels to watch WWF / WCW / ECW nothing beat the feeling of watching this on tv during this time era
Joey Styles has explained the origins of his "Oh my God!" Catch phrase before. It all began one day they were recording commentary on a match with JT Smith and Mike Awesome, Awesome did a suicide dive, overshot it and in an effort to save him Smith tried to catch him but got bent awkwardly over the guard rail.

I always liked Joel Gertner' (Joey Styles partner in crime, lol) colorful intros
I met Mike Awesome back in the day hard to believe someone that big was doing dives and flips off the top rope.
@@Pumpd.Up.Platypus The most underated and the best by far, when Gertner would come out with one of his obscene opening lines, my favorite was when he announced how all the girls in Milwaukee loved to play and frolic through his spunk, and he got fined for saying it, those 2 were perfect calling matches together.
@@Pumpd.Up.Platypus Joel Gertner best chest in the west (or something like that lol) loved him.
@0:40 is his head about to go up that dudes ass?!?!??
The Terry Funk vs. Sabu barb wire match was insane. By the end they were stuck together and had to be cut apart.
And the tape you see on Sabu's arm is literally holding it together, it was cut down to the bone.
@@SAVikingSA Yeah! he sliced his fuckin arm from the inner elbow to damn near his shoulder. Crazy!
As soon as it was done Heyman said never again because he new they had gone to far
Born to be wired
I was there it was crazy!!!
There are still some crazy ones out there, check out CZW stuff. But for the most part today they see what happened to a lot of those guys bodies and it filtered out a lot of people willing to try. Plus, guys like Mick Foley who people pleaded with to take it easy in his prime telling the younger guys he should have taken their advice and learned how to space those bumps out, instead of making them his entire gimmick (because then he had to do them all the time or he felt he was letting fans down).
Before I read the comments, hell, even before the video started I had already commented check out CZW, glad to see I’m not the only one!
It’ll get demonetized probably
Zandig is love, zandig is life
Don't listen to this guys comment czw fucking sucks
Exactly
WWE has moved away from a lot of this but you can still see some wild stuff in like AEW or all over on the indies like GCW, PWG, or pretty much any of the bigger independent companies.
I will always prefer this over wwe any day
@@dylankeville1026 This is actually tame compared to 90s death matches in Japan.
5:00 "These guys just inhale coffee before they go out here!" LOL It wasn't coffee my man.

As you can tell, the ecw guys were mental but one of the best parts of the company was the variety. At various points you'd have rob van dam churning out barn burners with guys like Jerry lynn (the guy crotched on the top rope at 1:29), kid kash (the dude in the shiny pants at 5:19) doing sick flips while also having guys like spike dudley and Mike awesome trying to destroy one another like at 6:07. It was truly something special.
Just want to comment, some of these guys retired before their 40s. Some died before their 50s. The "lucky ones" didn't see their 60s.
Pitbull 2 died in his mid 30s, Taz had to retire aged 34, Mike Awesome passed away to suicide aged 42, New Jack suffered a fatal heart attack aged 58, the Chair Swinging Freaks both suffered CTE and died in their 40s and I could go on. Just saying, it's not that they're built different, it's just that most of us saw what these guys did, saw where they ended up and said "fuck that, I'm not ending up like them".
Oh the fire is quite real, it was used more in FMW and NJPW in Japan.Those matches were beyond insane, Barbed Wire, Fire, Bed of Nails, weed wackers, glass, exploding ring, even a tank filled with piranh. Cactus Jack and Terry Funk had some real bloody wars back then.
6:28 I remember that match Spike Dudley vs Mike Awsome, Spike got the hell beat out of him, he went through like 7 or 8 tables, I think all in all 10 tables were destroyed between the both of them.
6:30 Terry Funk vs Sabu barbed wire match (born to be wired) this is often described as one of the most disturbing matches in history. Sabu tore open his bicep (roughly 10 inches long, which required around 100 stitches) 6:36 in this video shows the "spot". Sabu simply taped it up and not only did he finish the match he beat Terry Funk for the ECW world heavyweight championship. They became so entangled in the barbed wire that it took several ring technicians armed with wire cutters and wearing gloves (after the match was over) almost 10 minutes to free both wrestlers, and yes that barbed wire was very real. They said that it was too extreme even for ECW standards. Paul Heymen said he never booked another barbed wire match for ECW, because it was "so gruesome" if that gives you any indication of how horrific it was, Joey Styles the commentator said "it was the most disturbing match i ever had to call". There was a moment where Funk started whipping Sabu with a strand of barbed wire, and you could see it shredding the skin on his back. As for fire well. Doing a flaming tablets spot is about timing if you do it too soon you can get seriously burned, if its too late the fire will go out before completing the spot, which doesn't look good to the audience. Also the velocity of the wrestler falling on the table should extinguish most of the fire (key word should).
8:16 "the Stairway to Hell match between Sabu and the Sandman (House Party) Sabu legitimately broke his Jaw on the steel guardrail outside the ring. And "you guessed it" he simply taped his jaw closed and continued the match, however Sandman won the match at the end, with a direct shot to Sabu's taped jaw using a Singapore Cane.
The guy that kept saying "oh my god" was Joey Styles, it was like a trademark he's best been known for, however he was a solid commentator he did an excellent job at identifying all the moves, not to mention he did this job solo with an occasional guest from time to time.
4:52 the guy in the black mask doing an elevated Hurricanrana to Psicosis in the silver bodysuit? That's none other than Rey Misterio Jr, at around age 17 or 18 IIRC.
As to the sort of wrestling content ECW specialized in, you're half right: a lot of the main events featured brutality as the attraction, which is why folks like Tommy Dreamer, Sandman, Sabu, New Jack and The Dudley Boys were frequently at the top of shows. That said, ECW also featured a lot of technical and high flying stars, like Rob Van Dam, Jerry Lynn, Chris Jericho, Lance Storm, Yoshihiro Tajiri, Super Crazy and Kid Cash. Beyond them, they routinely did shows with other international promotions, bringing in wrestlers from Mexico and Japan to demonstrate their styles, either against themselves, or against the ECW originals. ECW is sort of the punk rock of professional wrestling- a lot of it is rough as hell, but there's also a lot of it that has artistry and vision beyond the bloodshed, and it's part of why it was so influential to professional wrestling.
Even still, as someone who watched this in his tweens and teens? I never need to see another unprotected chairshot to the head in new wrestling for as long as I live. I'm full up, I'm good, thanks.
The "Dragon" wrestler is a Mexican wrestler called Psicosis (yes he have had brief stunt in WWE without a mask as he lost it in a match in WCW to Billy Kidman if memory serves me) and "Chucky" is Lil Spike Dudley (you figure out what first letters of the name correlate to :P ) and is a kayfabe brother to Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudleys (while having some extra brothers as well) You should also check "ECW Throw me a Chair" video :P
ECW was insane and most of them are still alive some how. Spike Dudley, the little guy who tossed around a lot, was awesome.
Mate, they used to not only throw people into the crowd but interacted directly with them. Mick Foley said the ecw fans were different. And fire is real, thumbtacks, chairs ladders, even the razor wire, explosives and the toughest sobs in the world. Look at the concrete, no mats. The little guys who you likened to Chucky, is Spike Dudley who was a teacher in real life.
The clip at 2:40 is Mike Awesome who was one of my favourite wrestlers. A strong giant who moved like a cruiserweight. That is basically Brock Lesnar's frame that jumps on the top rope, pauses to taunt and then dives into the crowd. A great athlete who was never really appreciated after his ECW stint and who died tragically in 2007 at age 42.
I used to watch ECW every Saturday (Friday?) night when it was on MSG Network. To answer a few of your questions, the "Chucky" guy you saw (the same guy who Bubba throws into the crowd and onto the flaming table) is Spike Dudley who was in long feud with his "cousins" Bubba Ray and D-Von. He would later wrestle in WWE and TNA//Impact. In fact, there was a whole Dudley clan at one point.
Yes, this was Heyman's organization. For all his faults, he knows his crowd psychology very well. One of the biggest crowd moments came as a result of a storyline that played out over a few months. They introduced Bill Alfonso, a referee from both WWE and WCW as an authority figure (before every organization was running similar storylines and WWE beat it into the ground), reportedly from the state Athletic Commission. One of Alfonso's first acts was to ban the Chokeslam, the finishing (only?) move of a fan favorite wrestler called 9-1-1. Well one night, Bill and Big Dick Dudley (of the aforementioned Dudley Clan) get carried away in the ring and Dudley chokeslams one of the members of Public Enemy. Alfonso quickly announces on the mic that he's not disqualified because he's making the Chokeslam legal again and before he can consider the ramifications of his actions, 9-1-1's music starts. You'd have thought there were 15,000 in the hall on what became "The Night that 9-1-1 Chokeslamed Bill Alfonso."
There were both types of wrestlers in ECW, skilled wrestlers like Bam Bam Bigelow, Chris Jericho, Tully Blanchard, Eddie Guerrero, and Dean Malenko all passed through ECW. There were also more stunt-oriented wrestlers like Public Enemy, Sabu, and Tommy Dreamer. And there were still others like Mick Foley, Taz, and Rob Van Dam who were both. "He who shall not be named" got his nickname "The Canadian Crippler" there after Sabu tried to reposition himself in mid-air and fell onto his neck instead.
ECW had some great moments including Steve Austin's brief run. He only wrestled a few matches, but he cut some of the funniest promos during his time there and you can really see the beginnings of the Stone Cold character. They ran some great storylines in a time when WCW and WWF were still doing the classic good guy/bad guy routine. All the guys in the ring "telling it as it is," comes from ECW as does the entire WWE Attitude Era. And Tommy Dreamer and Raven is still one of the greatest wrestling feuds of all time. Also, if you can find any Public Enemy promo or any Sandman match. (Sandman would occasionally even cut a promo during a match or stop to have a beer or a smoke.)
As far as single best match in ECW, I would vote for the Malenko/Guerrero Showdown, a 2 out of 3 falls match between Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero that singled both the end of their feud and both men's last match in ECW before leaving for WCW. It remains one of the greatest technical matches I've ever seen and easily one of the best matches in wrestling history.
A lot of them were just crazy dudes trying to murder each other, but there were also a lot of really talented people who later became big. Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Benoit, Rey Mysterio, Eddie Guerrero, Austin, Taz, and RVD all spent time in ECW.
The scaffold match took place during an ECW Home Video taping named “High Incident”. Tommy Dreamer wrestled against “Prime Time” Brian Lee. There was only enough room for one support frame, while the other side was tied down to pillars in the building. The scaffold floor dangerously swinged and swayed. There were stacks of tables underneath the scaffold floor to break the fall of the losing wrestler, but faced the prospect of an instant concussion and broken bones. Joey Styles referred to that match as “The Most Dangerous Scaffold Match Of All Time”.
If I remember right it was Sandman who put up the scaffold
LOL!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Not sure if there's been a comment earlier, but at 3:30 in it IS real fire, but it is lighter fluid so it burns at a relatively low temperature and goes out quickly. Most of the time the slipstream of the falling wrestler creates a mini-vacuum and snuffs out the oxygen. Also, the wrestler will be wet with sweat (and possibly water poured on to him).
It doesn't always go as planned though, which I can confirm from experience.
the wrestler with the music being played his name is new jack but that is not the music he used in ECW he used Natural Born Killers the music you heard is dubbed over by wwe to avoid copyright
The infamous barbedwire match between Sabu & Terry Funk! RUclips it!
New Jack, Sabu and Sandman were definitely mad lads. as for "Chucky" (Spike Dudley), I think is whole gimmick was that he was basically a human projectile.
Some of ther wrestlers wene nuts, some were incredibly skilled. One you din't see in the video but was an amazing innovator was Supernova/Nova. He came up with the incredible brand new moves/finishers that would quickly be stolen by then WWF wrestlers. Tajiri was also one of my favorite. His strikes looked so real and he used to spit green mist, which I love (big shout out to the Great Muta).
7:49 Kind of. It's the dub for New Jack's actual music, which would play throughout his matches back in the day, "Natural Born Killaz" by Dr. Dre and Ice Cube.
I watched ECW on a local UHF affiliate ...the picture was grainy and you had to rig the antenna just to get anything ..sometimes it just wouldn't be on .
But every Friday before I would go out for the night I would make sure I caught ECW..
Got to see them live twice in 99 and2000..
No lie..Bubba Ray threw a chair at me in the front row for cheering for them..he gave me the Bubba eyes and whipped the chair an inch from the top of the barricade,everyone just turned and looked at me like Holy S...
It's actually on an RF video copy of the show. Also saw the flaming table spot in that match and the tag titles change at a house show..
There will never be anything like ECW..
BTW..the guy in the pants is Sabu..he's Homicidal,Suicidal, and Genocidal. ..
A couple other guys in there you prob know are Mick Foley and Rey Mysterio..
"Chuckie" is Spike Dudley.
“These guys just inhale caffeine before they go out there...”
That wasn’t caffeine 🤣🤣
ECW was a whole 'nother beast that made wrestling.....EVOLVE!
@6:36 Sabu actually tore off his Bicept off and told his manager to get tape so he can tape him arm up and continue the match...lol
ECW basically followed on from the MTV show Backyard Wrestling but in ECW they did have a very slight form of safety measures in their matches, if you think that is insane check out some of the 90s Japanese death match wrestling where they would use explosives as weapons in their matches, you will see 2 wrestling legends that had insane matches in Japanese death matches, Terry Funk and Cactus Jack a.k.a Mick Foley
Got to make that commentators OMG a channel point redemption on twitch 😂
Chucky is Spike Dudley, the runt of the Dudley clan, Big Daddy Dudley.
6:38 yes, they replaced the ropes with Barbed Wire, it's the famous Barbed wire Deathmatch between Sabu and Terry Funk, want even more insane, watch Barbed wire Deathmatches in Japan, where explosions are added
watching Psychosis vs Rey Mysterio Jr in ECW was some badass matches
I really miss ECW.. I have been to 2 non-televised show's, and 1 pay-per-view when they came to Birmingham, Alabama. I think a few of those clips were from the pay-per-view.,I don't remember which match it was, but they went to using a cheese grater on each other, and you could see the skin falling out of it.. It was wild. The barbed wire match with Sabu and Terry Funk,Sabu got one of his biceps ripped open.
The ladder on the forehead was crazy man😂😂😂
Joey styles is the commentator. Most commentators have some catch phrases and that was his
Vintage Styles!
The little guy being tossed by everyone is Little Spike Dudley. I loved watching this growing up. It was different and Paul Heyman knew it. They also had great wrestling matches. Many stars got their start in the US audiences with ECW like Dean Malenko, Chris Benoit, Rey Misterio, Raven, Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman, and Eddie Guerrero. Taz was my favorite. He's the guy suplexing everyone. There are plenty of broken neck injuries as well. These guy went to extremes to give a great show. I was never not entertained.
I'm pretty sure the clip where Sabu had his left bicep taped up was the result of tearing it open during a barber wire match. Instead of stopping for medical attention he justed taped his arm and kept going.
King of the Death Match has some absolutely BRUTAL stuff in the highlight reels.
Used to watch ecw all the time. This vid takes me back to the good Ole days. EC FN W!!!!!
3:29. Yes that is actually a table on fire. They use lighter fluid to make it burn bright, but not for long, or hot enough to ignite the table itself.
Although you should search for Cody Rhodes AEW flaming table spot.
And then see the aftermath. That's what happens when things go wrong.
I'm crying with laughter at Joey's OMGs 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😅😅😅😅
if your taking suggestion, watch any Mike Awesome vs Masato Tanaka fight, Dudleyville Street Fight fight The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray, D-Von and Big Dick) Vs Tommy Dreamer, The Sandman and Spike Dudley. Tommy Dreamer v Tazzmainiac (Dreamer's first match in ECW with a vastly different gimmick then he became known for.) Tommy Dreamer Vs The Sandman (The infamous caning that made Tommy Dreamer the Innovator of Violence and the Heart and Soul of ECW.)
ECW didn't just do shock value wrestling. Yes, it is what it is known for but Heyman also gave the first major exposure to Lucha's doing pure Lucha wrestling as opposed to the Americanized version always seen from Mil Mascaras and the Guerrero family. The "devil guy" was Psychosis who along with Rey Mysterio Jr changed the entire North American wrestling industry with what Heyman let them do in ECW, that WCW quickly picked up on and made Nitro stand apart from Raw.
Chris Jericho, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, 2Cold Scorpio, that guy that killed his wife and kid were putting on pure mat wrestling mixed with cruiserweight moves clinics that are still being copied to this day, another thing WCW picked up on to further separate them from WWF's stale product of the time.
Yes, a lot of shock value and ultra violence in ECW, but it mixed in plenty of great pure pro wrestling that resembled a legitimate athletic contest between skilled athletes.
Now the storylines on the other hand, those are hard to explain without any context but to say they were over the top is an understatement.
Yes I think you should watch the whole ECW show something you will never forget this was chaos wrestling this was crazy wrestling extreme wrestling and Paul Heyman was running the whole show
I'm about 30 minutes from the small-town RVD was pulled over and caught with Marijuana back when he was WWE Champion. Which is what cost him his title reign.
I used to watch it pretty regularly for a while. In fact, on my old channel that I had for a decade, from which I have been pernanently banned due to a scuHmbag filing claims against my unmonetized uploads of a bonus disc he hadn't ever made available to buy, I uploaded video from one of my VHS tapes of Lita getting Kryptonite Krunched by Nova (Simon Dean).
The clip of newjack tossing the guy off the flimsy little bridge thing into the mountain of tables, was literally an attempted murder !! Look up the story of newjack in ECW ! The man was insane lol
Old CZW was insane and currently GCW and ICW No Holds Barred are crazy to watch.
Alot of me and my brothers and some times with friend's back yard wrestling matches were based off of ECW and WCW
i live in philadelphia where ECW was filmed. and yeah it was freakin nuts. the monday night wars was great but ECW was the real effin deal.
That's Spike Dudley getting thrown around like that all the Dudley's wore tie dye at that time
You oughta watch Terry funk vs Sabu in barbed wire match entirely.
Sabu damn near rips his bicep off and tapes it back together to finish the match
Yeah the entire Sabu vs Terry funk barbwire match. Is brutal
I lived ECW as a teenager. Those guys were insane. The announcer is Joey Styles. He’s a legend. Do yourself a favor and watch some of their PPV’s from 98’ & before. Off tha chain.
"Chucky" is the 'Giant Killer' Little Spike Dudley.
The fire isn't green screen, it's lighter fluid. Lol
Gotta check out the best of Joel Gertner's middle names. Also the Dudley Boys ecw promos.
Not sure if someone has mentioned it already but in the new jack clip where the guy goes through several tables he used a taser as payback for a previous bad bump. Payback
Sabu, one of the ECW wrestlers once cut his arm open so the muscle was falling out, taped up his arm mid match and then continued! That’s so e of the balls these guys have.
Most insane match in wrestling history is definitely the Hell in a cell with Undertaker vs Mankind.
The match with the ring full of tables is a "Scaffold Match"
Chucky, that would be Little Spike Dudley (LSD) and his finisher was beautifully named the Acid Drop
Might not make sense to anyone but I followed wwf, and just watched ecw, but never wanted to miss ecw cause you never knew what you might miss!! One of the craziest night after night put their bodies through hell for our entertainment organizations ever. I was happy to see wwf buy wcw, but wasnt happy when i heard ecw joined too. ECW was it's own!!
You're busy today :O
Also, yeah, the WWE, and other promos, are very different these days. But it's probably for the best, given that wrestlers don't really live beyond 65. Rowdy Roddy Piper died at 61. And just look up Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero for examples of very early wrestlers deaths. I think it's awesome we have this stuff to look back on, but I am somewhat glad wrestlers don't have to annihilate their bodies and brains for our entertainment.
Hell, ECW closed its doors twenty years ago, and there are so many wrestlers in this video that are no longer with us: the Chair Swinging Freaks, New Jack, Mike Awesome, Pitbull 2, Bam Bam Bigelow, I believe I saw John Kronus too.
Joey Styles is the commentator. An no green screens lol. This is the wrestling I grew up going to watch in pa cuz tickets were cheap. It also got me hooked when we stole a bus stop sign and took it and the wrestler New Jack ended up taking it from us and using it lol
The best part is fans throwing chairs upon request from the wrestlers.. 90s ECW was the shit!
LMAO!!! And health insurance was cheaper then too.
Yes sometimes that music would play during his whole match cuz it was his theme song. That’s new jack. Only wrestler to try and kill a man for real in a match.
That was music playing during a match. Natural Born Killaz played during New Jacks matches. He was psycho
That's real fire
Liked, subscribed, and knees are clean, let's go!!! Love the wrestling crazy moments no matter what league they come out of, good stuff man!!
Haha thanks brother
@@AdamCouser ECW 1994
Joey Styles was the ECW's lone announcer and his catchphrase was "Ohmygod!!! He would rarely be joined by a color commentator choosing to broadcast alone.
Paul Hayden owned ECW. This was my favorite organization of wrestling
You should see the clip of when the fans threw like a shit load of chairs into the ring. I believe they were throwing them at Public Enemy. There was like a hundred chairs in the ring. U could hear, i think Joey Styles on the PA system telling everyone to stop throwing them. It was pretty gnarly.
That guy Bam Bam Bigelow put through the floor was Taz. He became an announcer in the WWE. Smart move on his part. He got paid and didn't have to get put through tables anymore.
I was waiting on the scaffold match to show up and see the reaction. LMAO
The commentator is Joey Styles
The commentary guy is joey styles
About a year ago was a move in AEW where someone used a pizza cutter on the forehead of the opponent. With that move they went to a split screen commercial. Of Dominos. That was a huge scandal for TNT (where AEW airs) and the people who pay for the ad time.
How Sabu lived through some of the shit he did still amazes me to this day!!!
Yep that's real fire lol
Watch some of the promo work as well Joel Gertner and the Dudleys for sure
OMG! Where do I begin? Just look up New Jack and watch his Dark Side of the Ring documentary if you want your mind blown.
As for the announcer, that is the legendary Joey Styles and he coined that catchphrase because…well, you just saw why. That craziness happened every episode!
In that barbed wire match the one guy ripped his arm open then just used tape to close it up
The guy dressed as a "dragon" is legend jushin thunder liger he's a world wide legend
You should check out Megumi Kudo in FMW back in the 90s and see the insane crap she put her body through.
I watched it every week when it came on, and I’d recommend Heat Wave ‘97 I believe it was
you should check out a deathmatch wrestling comp to see more of that stuff with wepons but to an extream levle
That's joey styles
Wished New Jack's throw was in there somewhere 😄
Balls Mahoney got powerbombed onto drawing pins. Onto a table
Ecw back then was crazy fire and greatness
Thank goodness I was a teen during the Attitude era got to watch and change channels to watch WWF / WCW / ECW nothing beat the feeling of watching this on tv during this time era
Please react to CZW. The guy with what u say the Devil mask is Psychosis ( mexican cruiserweight ) against a very young Ray Mysterio Jr
