10 Best Matches In ECW History
7. Tajiri Vs. Steve Corino - Hardcore Heaven 2000
The Tajiri that the WWE Universe would come to know and love was fun-loving to a degree, and a little bit silly despite being more than capable in the ring. These fans will be surprised then to find out that ECW Tajiri was a violent man who didn't really cater to the comedic, focusing instead on kicking people as hard as he could.
His one-sided destruction of Steve Corino at Hardcore Heaven in 2000 may very well be his finest ECW moment. The feud between the two sparked off when Tajrii won the Television Championship and refused to hand it over to The Network. All of this led to this match.
Corino starts the bout off with a supremely intense heel promo that doesn't hold back on the racism. Whilst this is never welcome in professional wrestling, the story takes the right turn as Tajiri comes out to the ring and proceeds to kick Corino's head in for 10 minutes. Not only this, but the crowd were willing Yoshihiro on with every kick.
Corino bled and bled, and eventually Tajiri put him out of his misery. Sure, it isn't a technical classic, but as far as story goes this match could not have been any better.
